Welcome back all concerned!
Just to clarify, this is a thread discussing both what is happening LIVE across the country as Illegal Immigrants protest their Illegality, and what to do about it. Let's discuss VIABLE options as to what to do about this issue. I have a sneaking suspicion that this "Protest" of American LAW is going to be pretty big. I predict that there is going to be a LOT of pandering to these 11 million or so criminals by our Politicians. I sincerely hope not. To any and all Politicos of all parties, WE the PEOPLE are watching you, and LISTENING to what you are going to say today. 289 million of us LEGAL citizens will see with pristine clarity just WHO in the Political arena is looking out for US, the people who VOTED you into Office in the first place. The biggest question on my mind and perhaps one or two others is: Are you going to protect and serve as you promised and swore to up-hold the Constitution or not? Are you going to up-hold out law or are you going to support the Illegals? 298 million to 11 million. You do the math. Lets roll.
I agree our president stands strong on most issues. I believe he is a decent, honest man and I think the world of him. I just wish there was something that would help him to understand how this is affecting Americans each and every day. I am just so tired of having the issues all lumped together. This is NOT about legal immigrants! it is about people breaking our laws and then demanding rights. It's outrageous and every American citizen and legal immigrant should be livid about this.
You got my vote, you really do!
I'll tell you exactly what they're going to do. It's no secret. They will wait two weeks for us dummies to "cool off", and then come back in session and ram the free-citizenship-for-criminal-aliens bill down our throats.
I have to make a confession. This is not a prediction. I don't have a crystal ball. I'm not engaging in heavy analysis and research and so forth. I'm just reporting the news!
I'm only telling you what Arlen Lord Specter said this morning. He told us what they're going to do, and I'm just passing along the bad news.
Bump!
We have 20 million illegals in this country already...how many more do we need to pick freepin lettuce?
We ARE livid about it. We've sent him a message with low poll numbers...we've sent emails. We've done everything but March. Besides not doing business with Illegals, what else can we do?
i dont think this issue is going to cool off instead i think it is rapidly approaching critical mass and god help us all when it does

Vote Libertarian. They support wide open borders.
Try protest.net or indymedia for answers to some of your questions. I'm not posting the urls. You'll have to go look for yourself. The NYC link off indymedia for marches today is very active. These nationwide marches are only partially immigration related. Every leftist organization you can think of has involved itself in this BS.
We know that ANSWER and the world workers party are involved and we know that some of the big food processors are giving their illegals the day off. I suspect that some corporations are actually paying for some of this.

I agree I am disgusted at what has taken place under President Bush's watch. It's no excuse for him but the flow of illegal immigrants was in full swing under Clinton and maybe even more than it should of been under Bush Sr.I am not sure what we can do except we can't give up. We need huge marches for sure, all over this country.We have the majority of Americans on our side, it's just that we have so much propaganda to overcome. There are no easy answers but somehow we have to get through to our leaders. they cannot be allowed to sell us down the river for the almighty dollars of their rich friends. Let's face it the root of all this is money and those hiring illegals must pay a steep price.
Message to the Government: Do the job you were hired for,
or come November the American People will the do the job you don't want to do.
A few years ago, I read about what a guy went through when he put "African-American" on his job application.
He was white.
He was an American.
And, he was born and raised in... Africa!
After going round and round and round with the personnel manager, she -- in utter exasperation with him -- said, "Look, 'African-American' means BLACK!"
The moral of the story?
"Bilingual" mean Mexican.
They deptress wages for the working class of this country.
Well that's the point. This whole "jobs Americans won't do" crap is all about the fact that criminal aliens will work for slave wages and live 40 to a house. (I have decided that for clarity's sake I will no longer call them "illegal" aliens, since that term has been raped to death, and the word "criminal" is a suitable synonym for "illegal".)
If enough Americans were willing to live 40 to a house -- off the books, of course -- then there'd be no "need" for criminal aliens.
See how simple it is? It's all our fault -- we refuse to live 40 to a house, so, we no longer DESERVE to have our jobs!
I welcome with open arms all legal immigrants to this country, but there is a reason immigration has to be controlled. The fact that I now come second in my own country to people who shouldn't be here in the first place is overwhelming. We have to make our voices heard to our leaders, somehow, some way!
The decision has been made to "reengineer" America. The decision has been made to merge the USA with Mexico.
Don't take my word for it, read this: "CFR's Plan to Integrate the U.S., Mexico and Canada [Must Read]"
Say, how's that blood pressure doing?
Kiss your country goodbye.
¡Hola, Amexica!
This is prima facia violation of The Hobbs Act.
That may be the problem. If they enter illegally, how much do you want to bet that they have also voted illegally and our so-called "law makers" know this?
I've decided that I am fed up, sick and tired of being scolded about my need to accept "law-abiding illegal aliens".
It is the most revolting oxymoron I've ever encountered.
And, it's gotten SO bad that lately, they are bitching about "people wanting to criminalize them"!
"Criminalize" them? Hell, they ARE criminals! Exactly what part of "ILLEGAL" don't they understand?
So, let's just remove that arrow from their quiver, OK?
As of today, I shall try to remember to call them "criminal aliens" instead of "illegal aliens".
After all, "criminal" and "illegal" are synonymous in this context -- but, the word "criminal" just does NOT lend itself to BS propaganda like "law-abiding-blah-blah-blah".
Think about it. Even the most craven spindoc could never bring himself to say, "law-abiding criminal aliens", could he? He'd be the laughingstock of his audience!
PS: Exactly HOW bad has the propaganda-factor gotten? Right now, Fox News has a caption below a picture of a street filled with criminal aliens -- the caption references it as an "Immigration rally"!
Criminal aliens are to "immigration" what burglars are to houseguests!
Don't kid yourself. He understands. He's no fool. He knows the score.
He isn't doing what he's doing because he doesn't understand what it means. He does it because he CHOOSES to do it. There is an AGENDA.
