A conservative advocacy group is speaking for Americans who think illegal immigration is out of control and ought to be stopped.
The Freedom Alliance, founded by Lt.-Col. Oliver North, said it is launching a movement called the "I'm Mad as Hell and I'm Not Gonna Take it Anymore!" coalition.
The group is asking concerned Americans to call, email and fax congressional offices with objections to amnesty for people who come to this country illegally.
"Senator Reid won't take immigration seriously until illegal immigrants begin invading Capitol Hill or his cushy office," said Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon. "His wavering on the immigration bill shows why he is the minority party leader; he isn't listening to the majority of Americans."
Freedom Alliance analyst John Dougherty said it's ironic that protestors are demanding rights for illegals in the United States that illegals don't have in Mexico.
According to an official translation published by the Organization of American States, the Mexican constitution does not allow foreigners to participate in the political affairs of the country. That ban applies to participation in demonstrations.
In Mexico, even legal immigrants don't have equal employment rights; and the Mexican constitution also says that foreigners -- not just illegal immigrants -- may be expelled from the country for any reason and without due process.
While Mexico does nothing to stop the flow of its citizens to the United States, Mexican lawmakers clearly have put their own people first when it comes to immigration and foreign labor law, Dougherty said.
"For once, American lawmakers can follow the lead of their counterparts south of the border. They should adopt the same laws," he added.
The Freedom Alliance describes its mission as honoring and encouraging military service, defending the sovereignty of the United States and promoting a strong national defense.

I'm all for it! Go Ollie! I notice there is no actual statement by Oliver North in this news item though.
Give 'em hell. You and your parents are in a unique position to educate your representatives that Hispanic Americans (not illegal aliens) believe in the American Dream and the rule of law. They need to hear from all of us, but you can make an even bigger impact.
The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers
inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists'
abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees.
Here's an interesting new thread on new legal reform progress that finally
emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the
neighborly thing to do?
""For once, American lawmakers can follow the lead of their counterparts south of the border. They should adopt the same laws," he added. "
AMEN and AMEN!!!!
Bingo! None of them are interested in making America better.
It's been 12 years since the "Republican Revolution" and where did it get us? Say what you will about Kennedy, Rangel, and Reid... at least they're honest about their socialist goals.
That'll help.
According to TNRIP (Tennesseans for Responsible Immigration Policies), the financial cost of this foreign invasion to U.S. taxpayers is staggering! Here is a break down of the annual costs:
Education: $22.5 billion Bi-lingual Education: $3.3 billion AFDC: $2.4 billion SSI: $2.9 billion Social Security: $24.8 billion Housing Assistance: $2.6 billion Criminal Justice: $2.6 billion Jobs Lost by Americans: $10.8 billion Other Programs: $51.4 billion Food Stamps: $7 billion Health Care: $1.4 billion."
We've already lost billions to illegal invaders!

I've heard that stupid "line" before. "I'd rather have an honest crook any day" or some such nonsense.
The dems are not honest about anything and especially not about their socialist leanings which they go to great trouble to conceal. Where did you get such a strange notion? And even if they were honest about being socialists what difference does that make? It's irrevelant.
Do your country a big favor - don't vote any more.
Hmm, let me think about that.
Nope. I'll vote. I'll vote for the Libertarian candidate from now on. I'm ripping up my RNC card and every time they send me a mailing asking for money, I'll return it with a note suggesting they ask their new constituency- illegal immigrants.
I'm Mad as Hell and I'm Not Gonna Take it Anymore!"
That's right. It isn't fair. They say the country isn't being fair, but it is the other way around: they aren't being fair to the country or the citizens.
A vote for a lib is an indirect vote for the scum-sucking socialist dems. Probably best for someone in your uh situation to just not vote at all.
It's not just our laws that are being trampled, it's "we the people" who are being trampled too. I'm boiling mad about this.
So if a conservative isn't going to vote Republican, you'd rather they not vote?
No thanks, I'm through with holding my nose while I cast a vote for the lesser of two evils. I avoided voting Libertarian because doing so meant giving a vote to a liberal scum Democrat.
Well, no more. Maybe after losing Congress this election, the GOP will straighten up. Until then, I'm voting third party.
KINKY for Governor!
YES.
I bet you were the kid who took his ball home if the other kids didnt play by your rules.
A better analogy would be the kid that would purposefully help the other side win to spite his teammates who he did not think were performing up to par. We would "encourage" that kid to sit out the game and not inflict further damage.
