Tonight, for the first time, an undocumented immigrant will speak at a national political convention. Benita Veliz, 27, was brought to Texas from Mexico by her parents when she was 8 years old. She was threatened with deportation in 2009 after rolling through a stop sign and getting stopped by police.

How did she enter school without a birth certificate or SS#? Does she drive, how did she get a license? How much you want to bet... she’s registered to vote too.

From Charlottein2012.com
Local law enforcement and the U.S. Secret Service released a comprehensive security plan, including street closures, pedestrian restrictions, and detailed maps. You can read the plan in its entirety here. The Host Committee worked with our City partners to put together the following as a summary of that plan to make it easier for local residents and businesses to find answers to their questions.

Pedestrians walking to their home or business that falls into a restricted area will be required to provide identification when the road is closed. Passenger (as opposed to commercial) vehicles attempting to enter streets with restricted vehicle access must go through a vehicle checkpoint.

What type of identification is required?
A standard issued government ID is requested

*shakes head* What an absolute freakshow. A celebration of abortion, trangenderism, illegal aliens, defiance of God, pandering, and silliness..

Is there ANYTHING American about this f**king convention???

Gays, abortion, illegal immigrants, “we all belong to the government”,and atheism????

Bring back the Democrats of 80s! They may have been kooky libs, but they were mostly benign yuppies going through the motions and showed at least some indication that they were Americans.

Is it a felony or a misdemeanor to be present in this country in violation of various Federal laws? And apart from being present in this country illegally I wonder what other state or Federal laws she might have violated (or might be violating)...identity theft,illegally applying for welfare/medicaid/food stamps,etc....

No kidding! At least the 80s Dems went to Fourth of July festivities, said the Pledge of Allegiance. The new ilk has no time for anything American.

They vilify and demonize entire groups of people.
They glorify the government and say the people belong to it.
They openly show hatred for God (theirs is the state)
They openly hate Israel and Jews and free markets
.... oh and they like to call others NAZI’s.

Think about it

I do not know how this illegal invader entered school, but all of these illegal invaders were helped along by Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” Bull Scat.

This legislation is breaking our schools in Texas and driving our school and property taxes out the roof. More than likely, not only Texas.....

“She should be arrested on the spot.”

No...I think it puts on display the selective enforcement policies of this administration for all to see. “Equal protection under the law”...uh...not. No one is protecting me from illegal aliens. I though that was Government Job #0. Not just this government. ANY government.

Note that I’m not complaining about immigration. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be on the TERMS OF THE CITIZENS WHO ALREADY LIVE THERE.

Now try try to imagine an American, Nicaraguan, Guatemalan, Salvadorian or Panamanian illegal alien allowed to speak to a national political convention in Mexico to promote illegality and sneaking in to their country without permission. Hard to do?

And you know I’d bet 50 pesos that somehow she, her entire family and everyone like her will almost certainly be able to vote for Mr. Obama and the Democrats in November!
