It’s amazing that more black Americans don’t get it. They sure are starting to here in L.A. The drywall business was once competently covered by black entrepreneurs and workers. They’ve been edged right out by illegals and those that hire them. Actually, that’s true in almost all sectors of middle class jobs here. They are gone or going. If you work with the public here, the employer wants only bilingual people. Sad.
Funny that. The same observation I made when I came out here from the East Coast a couple of years ago, and a more recent observation tells me, that hasn't changed. Blackbird.
“The audience gave Tancredo a standing ovation, more because he was the only Republican to show up, rather than approving of his stance on issues.”
Amazing, the reporter can read minds?!?
Several years ago my husband was visiting Orange County (here he grew up) and he was very uncomfortable with all the Spanish-speaking and signs everywhere. It made him feel like a foreigner in his own home. He loved seeing blacks because he knew they spoke English.
On a “Path to Citizenship” for ILLEGAL Aliens
FRED THOMPSON: I think that you have to realize that you're either going to drive 12 million people underground permanently, which is not a good solution. You're going to get them all together and get them out of the country, which is not going to happen. Or you're going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship”

Fred Thompson clearly says deporting illegals is "not going to happen" and we should consider finding a way for them to become citizens. Giving ILLEGAL aliens some form of citizenship IS amnesty.
Yes, all know Fred is officially "against" amnesty. So is President Bush, John McCain, and Mel Martinez -- they all say they're 100% amnesty and have never vote for amnesty, and their support to legalize criminals doesn't "count" as amnesty. No sane politician will ever admit to being "for" amnesty, because you might as well tape a sign to your back that says defeat me. Fred Thompson's insistence he he opposes amnesty is no different than what Mel Martinez said when he ran for the Senate in 2004. It's easy to "oppose" amnesty bills in the Senate when you're not actually there to vote on them.
Unless Fred promises to veto ALL legislation legalizing criminal aliens, you can mark him down as pro-amnesty.
There is absolutely no love lost between Black America and Illegals from Mexico.
