Having lived in California and Kansas, I can definately say KS is not California...but it's a different kind of wierd.
Imagine moving half of the people out of your town overnight, and then moving in a new half composed of illegals straight from North Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala.
They don't speak English, and they have no intention of learning.
They don't come for the "American Dream", they really have no idea what that is....they just come for the "easy money" and nothing more.
If they can get something, they will.
In less than a decade they achieve critical mass and begin setting the rules for the rest of you.
The worst part is Dodge has always had a proud and decent Mexican American community.
The illegals are destroying that community even worse than the anglo.
If you talk to the old families, they are livid and beyond despair.
They hate being lumped in with the illegal guys who get drunk on payday and urinate in the street...
(a very common occurance...a public pee is not even unusual anymore- Mexicanos claim these folks are ignorant Salvadorans or Guatemalans who have never seen running water...hehe...whatta city!)
Anyhow, many of the towns here are well past the tipping point. Wages are depressed, industries are driven out or moved out of the US, and the town collapses on itself.
The schools are bursting with illegals kids, the dwindling tax base is squeezed for more and more public services...it's as close to over as it can get.
So You learn to use Spanish at McDonalds or BK.
You come to accept the fact that the only stores left in town are WalMart, Dollar General, Dollar King, and Mexican Tiendas selling bootleg DVD's.
You no longer bother reporting you car stereo is stolen.
And you don't go out after dark.
"We lost the battle with where these people live a long time ago. The only realistic thing we can do now is try hard to make them Americans.
What a load of cr*p! Here's a news flash for you...they don't *want* to be americans.
It looks a bit like Gaza at first glance.
Thank you King!
I've been up all night, every time I tried to sleep I'd get angry all over again, I lost track of all the info email I put out...but I feel we're all finally going to come together and respond in a big way to these protestors, they got our dander up and we cannot just sit behind the keyboards any longer!
So let's put these so-called representatives of the people between their brick and our hard place!
Not only tht but they turned OUR flag upside down!

I just heard on AM radio that NOW police are getting worried for things are getting out of hand with the high school idiots
Actually they are misguided highschool kids.
You sound like a nut and don't do any good for those of us who calmly and cooly want to make a rational and appropriate decision that takes into consideration the security, economic and social needs of the United States.
It is possible these kids are being misled and to lash out at them with the labels you are applying makes you look looney and reflects badly on those of us who want the right and difficult choice to be made.
So call their teachers or parents these names, but 15 year-olds will be for anything that means time away from class.
If more people were shown burning the Mexican or Guatamalan or Honduran flag....Would they leave?
After monitoring this thread since you posted it
Since these bullies are not going to stop with their demands (not protests)
Since the Senate is going to cave and try to pass amnesty
I vote you start a daily thread and keep this going until WE win!
BTTT
Remember the Alamo !!
BUMP

Now that makes me feel more secure, the local LEOs handing out truancy tickets. Where the hell is the INS or Border Patrol? Where is Ahnold? Why didn't he summon the Nat'l Gaurd to disperse this crowd and detain the illegals?
..groan....
I agree and you won't have any luck with employers if you leave the enforcement job in the hands of ICE. It needs to be put in the capable hands of the IRS. We should make the following changes to the law:
1. Employers can use the Basic Pilot Project (BPP) optionally. If they use it and their employees are verified they are given safe harbor and they are presumed to have exercised due diligence and care. If they don't use it then they are 100% liable for taxes if an employee is later turns out to be an illegal.
2. Regardless of whether they use Basic Pilot Project (BPP) or not, give employees safe harbor from any discrimination legal problems if they refuse to hire an employee who cannot establish their identity with document that meet the requirements of the REAL ID Act.
3. Disallow payroll expenses as an income tax deduction for any employee that the IRS determines to be using a fake social security number. Give employers who use BPP safe harbor from this provision and hold employers who did not verify with BPP 100% liable for the additional taxes regardless of whatever documents they used. This disallowing of tax deduction would raise the effective cost of an illegal employee earning $10 per hour to about $16 per hour. It would make citizens much more attractive as employees even if they had to be paid more.
4. Give whistle blower citizens a 50% of any additional revenues collected bounty for any cases of abuse reported to the IRS.
If the IRS smells tax revenue, I guarantee they will enforce these laws like a pack of starving piranha.
