Good riddance.

Will they boycott the ER?
Will they burn their food stamps?
Will they refuse their AFDC money?

Hypocrites.

May Day. Gee, you think it's the same communists running the pro-illegal movement as the communists running the anti-war, anti-SUV, anti-United States movements?

While we fight terrorism abroad we ought to keep our eyes on the communists at home looking for any issue, any opportunity to undermine the country.

You better believe it's connected.

'08 Bumper Sticker

"ANYBODY except a RINO or hitlery!"

“The American people are counting on us to secure our borders and restore the rule of law to our immigration system. The Senate Judiciary Committee today let the American people down by passing out a blanket amnesty bill. We've been down this path several times before, and it proved a failure.
“There was a real opportunity to take the steps necessary to fix our failed immigration enforcement system and while progress was made, we did not get there. The proper approach is to first fix the enforcement system and then to undertake a national discussion about immigration, considering how to justly handle those here illegally and what rules should govern future immigration levels. We also have not effectively dealt with the national security issues.

“I voted against the committee passed legislation because it rewards illegal behavior, will be considered amnesty by the people and will not restore respect for law. Fortunately, the House of Representatives has passed a solid bill, and there will be an opportunity to improve the Senate version in the days to come.”




http://tancredo.house.gov/irc/welcome.htm

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907




Real Conservatives FINALLY
have a winning ticket in '08




Time for the real conservatives on FR,
be it Republicans, Independents or Democrats
(like Zell Miller and John O'Neill) to band together
and oust the looney left and RINO's


The "Politically Correct RINO's" on FR are the same group
who "swore"
klintoon, hitlery, hanoi kerry, sanbdi ber(bur)glar, al bore, jane beno,
would be prosecuted for
pardongate, chinagate, the bribes in upstate NY in the 2000 NY Senate race, waco, etc, etc,
"when" the "time was right".

”day without Latinos”

Let them strike. Then we can see just how 'critical' they are. My guess is most of the country except some towns in southern Cali and Texas will be unaffected and just shrug.

Yeah, in fact, how about just going back to their corrupt, stinking country and never coming back. That is the majority will of the U.S. citizenry...

Those of us who have kept legal business practices will chug along as usual.

However, I resent when they lump all Latinos in with all illegals... it's not right. Not all "Latinos" will walk - and if all the illegals walk, only those industries that have become dependent upon them would be affected.

However, if those businesses hiring illegals are the ones affected, then FINE BY ME. I think that "shipping in" an underclass to exploit is reprehensible - and those businesses deserve to crash and burn...

but the rest of us will do just fine.

Counter strike?

How about we boycott Mexican resorts?

Had an article in my local paper yesterday about illegals rounded up at a construction company for Wal-Mart in upstate NY...Plattsburgh or thereabouts.

My guess is you are correct. I would imagine the parking lots of Home Depot will be free, free, free of "latinos."

I'll back you up on that one. But please don't mistake that these leftists getting the attention are in any way representing all of the ethnic group.
