Leftists Plan 'Freedom Rides' to Abet Illegal Aliens
Insultingly attempting to evoke the Freedom Rides from the civil rights movement, thousands of self-appointed activists plan to crisscross the country in buses next month to support illegal aliens.
"The buses will stop at dozens of locations throughout the United States, including statehouses and cities with historic ties to the civil rights movement, before converging in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 1 to meet with congressional representatives. From there, people will travel to Queens Oct. 4, where they will be joined by thousands of New York City immigrants for a mass rally, organizers said," Newsday reported.
The blame-America-firsters are staging their little event to decry federal immigration policies. "In particular, the organizers said they want to call attention to the need [sic] for an amnesty for those illegally in the country," according to Newsday.
Hmm, it sounds as if what they really want is more Democrat voters:
"This is really about building political power," Pramila Jayapal, executive director of something called Hate Free Zone Campaign of Washington, admitted to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "The goals of labor and immigrant rights groups are the same."
Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., claimed, "This is really the kickoff of a new civil rights movement, not for New York, not for labor, but for our country."
Democrat New York Assemblyman Brian McLaughlin had this to say: "It's not a magical event. It's a long-term struggle."
It's a much bigger long-term struggle to enforce U.S. laws and stop rewarding criminals.
Most whores have more shame and morals than they do!
Try stopping illegals at the border today you get throw in jail.
