[FreedomSurge]

The translation is mine.

I found this interesting for the following reasons:

1. Even though this is off of the Univision site, it is a Notimex article. Notimex is the Mexican government wire service.
   

2. The reaction of the Republican congressmen. Even though the ones mentioned in the article Hispanic (Cuban?) and must pander to their own constituency, by wanting to give aid and comfort to law breakers they are selling out Republicans nationwide.
   

3. My own Republican Senator, John Ensign, has come out for amnesty for illegal’s because they “share our values”. As a bit of history, Ensign lost to Senate Whip Harry Reid by about 500 votes in 1998. Harry Reid easily got 500 illegal alien votes in that election. Ensign, being the typical Republican, instead of screaming bloody murder or even working openly or behind the scenes to prevent voter fraud, has embraced illegals in order to gain a few votes. In the mean time, the Democrats control the senate.
   

4. Notice how the word “immigrant” is always used to reference the illegals. Never temporary worker, seasonal worker etc. Immigrant means they are here permanently.

Illegal aliens are criminals who are here in violations of the laws of our country. Treat them like any other lawbreaker, no matter how many of them cluster together.

In an unusual demonstration of bipartisanship, Hispanic both Republican and democratic legislators have closed ranks to oppose the authorization of state and local police to carry out immigration laws.

Add this to your list.

It's not about bipartisan politics. It's about La Raza!!

--I am missing something on this controversy on local police being allowed to enforce inmmigration law pertaining to illegal aliens. Before the ink was dry on the Lautenberg federal legislation prohibiting possession of firearms even when accused of "domestic violence", the local cops enforced it on one of my employees who had been accused of assault by a former girlfriend--what's the difference?

Bob Menendez is perhaps the biggest race baiter in the house, even more that Maxine Waters. He is anti American and a racist to boot.

Where do they get this "Nueva York" cr*p? Jeez Louise. They haven't taken over yet, and until they do, they can learn to speak English!

And illegal immigration may be a federal issue, but so is kidnapping and bank robbery, and I don't see the local police backing off those crimes.

I don't understand why states need permission to hold illegals. They may be required to allow citizens of other states or legal visitors to be in their borders but what (in the Constitution) requires them to allow illegals within their borders?

He insisted that this decision, anticipated to come out very shortly, opens the door to potential abuses at the hands of police

And arming airline pilots would open the door to potential abuses at the hands of pilots.

"Abuse" at this point in our history, refers only to the punishment and/or apprehension of minorities, particularly those who have entered the country illegally, or who happen to be in the act of commandeering aircraft with the intention of flying them into skyscrapers.

This action speaks for itself, I would suppose. It is hardly likely to reassure anyone who has expressed concern as to the future loyalty of new immigrants coming into America from countries other than those, which provided the genetic pool from which our traditional culture emerged.

It seems that when in doubt, these Congressmen will side with their cousins, whether here legally or not. And yet to have been elected to Congress, one has to assume that these Congressmen represent the most assimilated available of their respective ethnic groups.

I have no disrespect for Mexicans--indeed follow the career of several Mexican boxers, with warm appreciation for their skill and courage. But America is basically a land that reflects an Anglo-Saxon, Celtic heritage, enhanced but not changed by Dutch, Germans, French, Italians, Poles, etc., but still basically a reflection of those original Anglo-Saxon, Celtic values.

There is surely room on this Planet for both a Mexican Nation and an American Nation. We do not have to be merged, confused or confounded, to be friendly neighbors. The whole subject of immigration needs to be fully debated, without the hysteria that the compulsive Left always interjects. (See Immigration & The American Future.)

In the meanwhile, I would hope that some of these Congressmen would rethink where there loyalties and interests should now be. Honor is not served by selling short the interests of hospitable people who took you into a Society that they and their forefathers had honorably established.

The ethnic panders are in favor of every one but the hardworking and law-abiding Americans they are supposed to represent. Let's have the police arrest them and lock them up while they arrest and deport their illegal alien friends.
