[Title: "Workers Request the Legalization"
Their work brings good to this country, they proclaim in the International Proletarian Day March, by Amador Lucer, Report of Opinion News:
Thousands of demonstrators marched yesterday by the streets of Los Angeles, like part of the celebration of the Proletarian International Day, demanding to the US federal government a plan of legalization for the undocumented workers and a stop to the round ups of immigrants. Although the Worker's Day in the US is the first Monday of September celebrated officially, most of the demonstrators who participated in three great marches made yesterday in this city were of Latino origin and conserved the tradition of May 1. From the noon, the workers of the cleaning who belong to the Union the International of Employees of Servicios (SEIU), were first in initiating their march requesting legalization. Near 300, according to the organizers, under a strong safety, they concentrated themselves outside the building of the Court of Federal District of Los Angeles, where they asked the bailiffs to transmit his message to the White House. Later, about four thousand participants, between domestic employees, day laborers, ex-laborers and members of the community, made the same exigency in front of the offices of the INS. The objectives of more than 80 associations, unions and organizations who were united for the march, are to press and to make formal appearance so that the government of President George W. Bush grants a general amnesty to the thousands of undocumented people of the different ethnic groups. Besides to show their outrage by the round ups made by the INS, they protested against the decision of the Supreme Court in relation to the abolition of rights of the undocumented workers. Angelica Rooms, director of the Coalition of Los Angeles for the Rights of the Immigrants (CHIR IT), said that "only united we are going to be able to advance". "You leave in this country and its work the life, for that reason they deserve a legalization", expressed Rooms, before the shout of support of the assistants. On the other hand Eliseo Medina, executive vice-president of the SEIU, commented that "we want to send a message to the Americans to remember to them on the enormous contribution who we do". During the speeches of working leaders, political and communitarian, they affirmed that the government of president Bush had given int to reverse gear -- after the terrorist attacks of the 11 of September -- in migratory policy and recognizing the rights of the undocumented community. "Again we are here, like in the past, to fight by the rights of the immigrant", commented Antonio Villaraigosa, ex- president of the Assembly of California. Moral workers like Jose, who is used of cleaning in the Airport the International of Los Angeles (LAX), said that during days the fear seized of him and several of its companions. "The immigrants we have again become target of the attacks, but thanks to the support of many organizations, at the moment the casts no longer continued", expressed Morals, alluding to the operative ones of the INS in the airport that left a more of a hundred of deported undocumented people. The CHIR march IT, that is formed by more than 45 organizations, among them the Hermandad Mexicana, left the little Olvera Plaza toward the facilities of the INS, where was the greater concentration of people. Martha Sámano, president of the Academy of Latin Leaders in Action, that comprises of the coalition, said that with this manifestation beginning to a campaign of awareness in the community occurs to support these objectives. Sámano explained that the causes of the march, will be sent to the governments of EU and Mexico, with the support companies. As opposed to the INS the chants, surrounded in a hopeful atmosphere, of the thousands of workers there who in majority were undocumented -- they were become attached to those pleas that requested the legal residence in this country. "Of its sweat rich east has taken control been and this country", said Fabian Nuñez, elect member of an assembly of the District 49, "is right that recognizes its work". "Legalization for all", was ***reflxed mng in a poster that very raised in stop Maria Domínguez, a domestic employee who is 10 years old to live in this country, without the mini option to regularize here stay. Leaders who headed the march said that even though the answer on the part of the government is not immediate, will insist and summon the community so that one in this fight to be obtained the legalization of thousands of undocumented people."] END OF ARTICLE / TRANSLATION.....

You do realize of course, that you are going up against the President of the United States on this one, including nearly all Democratic and many Republican members of the House of Representatives?
However, I agree that your idea is good. Yet, if we were to do that, we'd have to call into every Representative's office, every day, and we'd need to get up to one thousand people to call in. That we, we could do it different days, and we could also have cheaper phone bills.
We did an impressive job on 245i, it inspired me that when enough people make those phone calls, the Senate gets shook up. Now they are on the run and hiding from us, meeting in secret to pass the U.N. agenda in regards to federal zoning of city development. I like that thought, that they are so desperate that they would go into hiding, which risks a big glaring spotlight on their activities, it means they are feeling the heat, I think we need to keep the pressure on.

Los Angeles County sheriff's officials on Wednesday named a suspect in the shooting death of a sheriff's deputy Monday: Armando Garcia, a 25- year- old illegal immigrant and suspected drug dealer who may have fled back to Mexico.
-- Garcia, who is considered armed and dangerous, has used "Daniel," "Chato" and other aliases while manufacturing and selling amphetamines, Baca said. The sheriff said Garcia has a criminal record going back to his youth.
These scumbags come back and forth across the border more often than they change their underwear. I guess the word "illegal" doesn't mean anything anymore to our government, except when it comes to an American doing something illegal, then it means something.
They're out there marching, demanding rights, collecting benefits and medical care, and they're not even supposed to be in this country.
I always feel that I've done something right when I use the free fax service at NumbersUSA and call my congress people, even though they're Dims.
How much of that increase is to pay hospital bills inflated by the cost of treating NON-PAYING IMMIGRANTS?
Soon none of us will be able to afford health insurance, and it will be time for socialized health care.
The liberals promote immigration, and the liberals promote socialzed medicine.
The two go together.
