Countdown to May Day: “Amnesty for all”
Yesterday, I gave you a preview of the open-borders circus slated to open tomorrow morning. Expect protests at ICE offices, protests at businesses that support worker verification, raw reconquista hatred, student truancy encouraged by illegal immigration-sympathizing teachers and principals, and the usual flag wars. Organizers anticipate smaller numbers this year, but the militant undercurrents will remain.
I have asked before whether Barack Obama would be marching this year, as he did last year, with the pro-illegal immigration crowd. Will he stand “shoulder-to-shoulder” with them again?
One race panderer on board: Jesse Jackson, whose Rainbow-PUSH group has teamed up with Latino open-borders groups to organize the Chicago May Day demonstration tomorrow.
Here is their “list of demands:”

Here are more details on the Bay Area goings-on:
Organizers in cities and towns around the U.S. are hoping to bring back the historical significance of May 1st in international labor and workers’ struggles, and to reignite the labor movement by integrating recent undocumented workers’ struggle for amnesty. Marches, rallies, and other gatherings on that date will focus on issues such as federal agencies and ending harassment by local police, raids, and the separation of families in immigrant communities; stopping the use of “no-match” letters to intimidate worker organizing efforts; holding elected officials accountable to supporting immigrant rights; funding human needs and services instead of militarism and war; and amnesty for those who do not have current documents.
Under the broad theme of Workers Uniting Without Borders –Amnesty for All, protesters will gather in San Francisco on Thursday, May 1st for a 2:00pm rally in Dolores Park, a 3:30pm march to Civic Center, and a 5:00pm rally and musical performance. The final planning meeting will take place on April 24th at 7pm at 522 Valencia St., near 16th St. BART. In Santa Cruz, march participants will wear green in solidarity with campus workers. There will be a 12pm rally in Quarry Plaza, followed by a march to a 4pm celebration in San Lorenzo Park. A march, rally, outdoor film screening, and other activities will take place in Watsonville starting at 4pm in the Plaza. An Immigrant Rights May Day March in Oakland will gather at 3 pm at Fruitvale BART Plaza for a march down International Blvd. to a 6pm rally at Oakland City Hall (14th & Broadway). In San Jose, an Immigrants Being Active Participants in Change march will gather at 4pm in the Mi Pueblo Foods parking lot (Story and King Roads) and will head down King Road and Santa Clara Street to San José City Hall (Santa Clara and 5th Streets). In Fresno, a March for Immigrant Rights will gather at 3pm in the Fulton Mall Free Speech Area, with plans for a 5pm march (imc_video.gifVideo). In San Diego, the community will gather at City College, march down Broadway to Pantoja Park, and then the day’s events will continue with a public assembly at Memorial Park at Oceanview and 30th .
Keep me posted if you plan on covering or protesting the circus in your neighborhood.

I don’t know if this will happen this time, but the last time they had their amnesty thing, all the mexican owned businesses were closed in our town, in S TX, in support. Well, I don’t go to their businesses any more.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw placards that had a picture of the three Presidential candidates with the caption “Yes we will!”
ETERNITY BY SUICIDE
That’s all I want, the same pay Bill Clinton gets. Wait, I’ll take less, the $400,000 we gave him for his phone bill will do for now. I didn’t even know Monica had a 900 number.
Krykee. Not that these illegals are demanding pr**ks or anything, but are they at least going to buy us dinner first?
Hey. Instead of (cinco de) mayo, how about some mustard, instead?
I am REALLY tiring of these invaders demands. Throw them out and make them take their anchor babies with them. Then tell us “you broke up families”. Family’s are together. Problem solved.
And while we are at it, first order of business for congress that cares about America and it’s history, is to clarify the 14th amendment so that “birthright citizenship” is ended immediately and made retro back to 17 years. Many beleive the constitution does not need to be amended (requiring 2/3 majority), just clarified for the courts (only simple majority). This move would cut off the argument about the “but my baby is an American citizen” crap. Illegals and their supporters use these anchor babies a shields by taking advantage American generosity and compassion.
The same is being planned in Mexicali, Mexico. The plan is to shut down the driving lanes into U.S., for how long, no one knows.
Epitaph on Karl Marx’s tombstone :
“THE PHILOSOPHERS HAVE ONLY INTERPRETED THE WORLD IN VARIOUS WAYS; THE POINT IS TO CHANGE IT”
Yes that’s right, reality is merely someone else’s philosophy. One can and should reject perceived reality because it is just an opinion. Marxist philosophy seeks to create a different version of reality that will get forced on everyone. Mayday is a holiday that encourages putting the blinders on and not believe what you see, hear, or previously were taught.
Sounds like they’re holed up in a banco.
Well, if it is anything like last year here in Chicago, there will be small American Flags in the trash bins and on the ground after their march.
Wonder if Miller’s will be a sponsor this year.
Hum, the lefties left a few things off their list,
1) Elect Obama 2) Impeach Bush 3) Leave Blogo alone 4) More babies, bigger checks.
Good Jobs on Both Sides of the Border
That’s the only one of their demands I support. If they have good jobs at home, they won’t come looking for them here.
Now, why don’t they go home and start creating them.
I am really qute bitter that they did not see fit to include Bakersfield, CA in their list of target locations. Who is going to bring the southern central valley farm workers ‘out of the shadows’?

That is the same goal as PC.
I’m wearing my black shirt tomorrow that says ” Welcome to the United States…. Now speak English”. I was raised in Philly ….. Joey Vento is my mentor…. sue me.
Anyone else laugh at this one? What about the respect for the Self-Determination of this nation.
Do as I say, not as I do. Motto of liberals and illegal aliens everywhere.
As much as Americans have contempt for these invaders..and it is becoming contempt….Our politicians are acquiescing to their demands by their inaction. Our country is being stolen from us and these invaders are being financed with our own money!! I am so outraged at this disgusting spectacle I don’t know how much longer I can tolerate it!
“Under the broad theme of Workers Uniting Without Borders –Amnesty for All,”
Exactly, using the broad theme to demand rights for people who don’t belong here and demand our government give them rights. These people crack me up. Now I know why per the census only 50% hispanics have a high school education. LOL
#14 I have one with Uncle Sam pointing
I Want You To
Speak English!
Weary Citizen I agree with you on the 14th amendment. It should go back to the last time we granted amnesty in 1986 though. We simply must remove ALL of the incentives that cause the influx except for the jobs and then allow an orderly way of filling those jobs on our terms.
Their list of demands is severely flawed. It says nothing about the rights of animals to vote and marry. Or the rights of drug cartel members to have daylong running gun battles on the streets of American cities. The radical left is really slipping.
The AUDACITY of these people, who break the law by coming into this country, then break the law by stealing someone’s SSN, then break the law by driving without a license and insurance, is unbelievable. We should build an Israeli style wall on the border, or absolutely shut down business that hire illegals. Fines proportional to income. I don’t care if you are right, left, or center, you should care about the sovereignty of this country.
I’m pretty angry today and this isn’t helping.
I believe in equal pay of all illeagal immigrants…I believe they should all pay an equal price for their deportation ticket home.
I believe in respect for all illeagal immigrant workers…we should send them back across the border with the same amount of dignity they used heading north.
I believe in keeping families.
together, deport them all illeagal imigrant families together irregardless of where they were born.
I believe in fair trade, we should keep gaps in the border wall at well regualted leagal crossing points so all incoming and out going cargo may be inspected, and all border crossers have valid and proper visa’s and ensure they properly depart when they expire.
I believe in voting, as long as you are a leagal citizen,for our leagal childern to be in safe schools. Vote for our health care system, and to be rid of those who pay no taxes and are a drain on the system. Vote for those who have no papers make sure they get their plane tickets home, and they board their flight, and finally if you are in prison, there is probably a good reason for that and should stay there until your sentence is over, then properly deported back whence you came.
So you are OK with any number of illegal immigrants as long as they speak English. The moment we have such laws, I am sure an astute businessman will start ‘English in 24 hrs’ classes across border.
I am all for making English as primary language of this country; but asking all to just speak English will only hurt tourists. Solution to illegal immigrants is not simple, my friend. Yea, some might say to just enforce current laws; but where will yout get additional money to even have police officers check immigration records of anyone (millions) in doubt? Increase taxes - not a single penny of which is paid by illegals?
My kate and I are ready.. are they ready for me and kate ?
Nope, I’m not okay with any illegal immigration at all. No amnesty, and I want physical borders….capice? My point was that I will do something simple to make a point, but anyone who knows me on this blog knows that isn’t the end all or be all of my activity.
Hey Michelle, will they condemn this?
Why don’t they go march in the countries they come from for better living conditions, good wages and democracy? Who are they to tell us how to run our country? Seems to me they have a hell of a nerve to invade our country and then b*t*h about it.
This makes me so angry.
One thing for sure it will be a free for all in L.A. making the Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog an enormous seller tomorrow.
Our leaders haven’t done much about this issue in the last 7 years..i dont see why anythings going to change…cheap labor talks.
And all 3 of our presidential candidates are pro illegal amnasty. There isn’t a dimes bit of difference between any of them.
Did anyone else notice that their list of demands reads like the list of Democrat Campaign promises of both Shrillary and Obamanation ???
Anyone still doubt that their purpose is to get all these people voting Democrat ASAP ???
Darn right. Immigrants rights need to be respected. On the other hand… INVADERS have no rights except to find the door and don’t let it hit them in the butt on the way out.
#27
Now I’m really getting p**sed! I didn’t know this happened.
Why do I doubt these workers are protesting the war in Iraq? I guess it could be answered at the end of the article?
I wonder what would happen if we “Malkinites” sent our list of demands to Mexico? I wonder if they would get right on it. Of course, I have been off coffee for three weeks now so I wonder some real dumb stuff lately!
MNUSMCDavid, I’m extremely P***ED. And the City Council refuses to pass Jamiel’s Law. I think it’s time we burn the Mexican flag in front of these “Marchers” tomorrow.
I’m willing to risk it….. consequences be damned,but I know what the response would be from certain responders here… what with the seagulls and race baiters and all.
It seems the last time they did this, the American public became more aware of them being here illegally. It seemed to back-lash on them. We can hope it does the same this time.
L
It’s been wayyyyy longer than 7 years, unless you just want to blame Bush. But hey, go ahead it’s the “in” thing to do. Just ask Pelosi Galore, and her lil friend “Tommy” Reid.
My demands:
All liberals should get a brain transplant.
It’s like the fleas complaining that the dog scratches too much.
I say we start making these gang members aware of kate. I am sure MNUSMCDavid knows what I mean… Semper Fidelis
MNUSMCDavid and John Ansell
Sounds to me like that Marine’s whole company needs a weekend of urban combat training exercises … I suggest they hold it in Redondo Beach … they need to place an emphasis on techniques of gang R&R … as in gang Relocation and Removal … I am sure the citizens of RB would appreciate it … could call it a “purge” …
Flarn
too late for transplants … only hope is lobotomies …
Oh, FINE. I get off work at 4:30 in San Francisco and I have to go right through the middle of this mess to get to my commuter train out of town.
The crowd will be right around the train/subway station, too. Oh well. Just means I have to scream “La Migra” and watch them all run. (It’s Spanish slang for Immigration).
Every Mexican flag on TV along with “demands” is like a money contribution to the GOP. Gracias, Mojados!
VIVA LE PURGE
geez, just put em to sleep.
Not only does cheap labor talk, it makes campaign contributions !
Hai!! aikido shirt grab followed by head lock works every time…… Semper Fidelis
That is kates job….
I love that they want to “Stop the drugs”. Well try closing and regulating who comes across the border and it will go a long way toward doing that…but that is the last thing they want. These people are not rational. Controlling our border is the solution to a whole host of problems, but their agenda is to have them wide open. Than don’t cry to me when your son or daughter OD’s on drugs.
I also love the “Legalization for Elvira Arellano”. Sorry for my French but F*** that B****! She was here illegally. Finally got tossed out when she rubbed our nose in it and than decidied to leave her son here and now says we separated her family. She was the one who chose to leave him. What a total failure as a mother and as a person who deserves any respect.
I like kate.
This might be a really long post, apologies beforehand.
Let’s break this list of demands down. I’ll skip some for space, but lets have some fun with it!
EQUAL RESPECT / EQUAL PAY FOR EVERY WORKER Legal citizens do usually get a competetive wage. When you’re legal, you can too!
I agree! You can find a local immmigration office near you, its in the phone book! or Google!
This is given to people who organize these events in spades. I dont remember an ICE raid on one of them, though there needs to be.
We are! The faster you get out of our country, the more surplus for those who are citizens looking for better opportunity, as a result of others not bleeding us dry.
Respect doesn’t keep illegals out. This should read “Peace by Enforcement, Security by Fencing” to be more accurate.
I have no respect for another bordering nation being “self determined” to come here and take what they don’t deserve and don’t assist in paying into.
What the hell does this mean? ROFL
Oh, we’re working on that too….now about that fence……
Good Luck with those, amigo. Our public schools arent exactly up to par on the world stage. We want those too.
We dont do bad here, but if you don’t like how things are back home, maybe you should go back and try and fix it, instead of draining our resources and surplanting your culture here?
English translation: Don’t remove the anchor baby laws so we can continue to abuse it for our own end, and make sure that you try and get laws passed that make it wrong to check ID at the polls, so mi amigos can vote without being checked too!
Not my usual stuff, but work is busy.
But this garbage gets me hot under the collar. I enjoy the right, and believe in the idea, of free speech for all. But for those who are not citizens to cross our border illegally (and by doing so become criminals in the act), who refuse to assimilate to our culture and language…then DEMAND we capitulate to their whims while they bleed our economy, social programs, health care services, job market and education systems dry…
I say send them ALL home. I want my country back. Build the fence. Enforce our current laws.
If you want something to respect…how about respecting our rule of law, our culture, and our borders. That would be a good start.
Purge away.
With demands usually comes a ‘or else’ statement. Thats the part I want to know.
Las year in LA they did their “day without an immigrant” thing where they supposedly all stayed home to show us how much the economy would be hurt without them.
The result, traffic was better then it has been in years and everyone noticed it. I hope they try and teach us another lesson this year - I may actually get to drive the speed limit on the freeway.
I guarantee there will be a huge, ridiculous circus in the middle of Los Angeles…whatever happened to Justice for Jamiel?????????
Sorry SDILLARD, reminds me that McInsane is for amnesty.
Antonio Villaraigosa is happy about dead black kids - his reconquista buddies are doing their job.
And yes, I do really mean that. He is a sick bastard.
“Stop the Hate, Stop the Violence”
“Stop the Guns, Stop the Drugs”
Very easy way to stop this get rid of all the ILLEGAL ALIENS that keep killing American Citizens!
I just know they will be marching right down my street again . I am thinking about buttering up the street and getting my video recorder ready for some good old fashion slap stick comedy .

I have the solution. And yes at least TRYING to enforce the laws is one answer. Look, this problem developed over many years and will take many years to solve. I am not big on a border fence frankly, though it won’t hurt. The solution is comprehensive and frankly logical.
ATTRITION THROUGH REMOVAL OF THE MAGNETS THAT DRAW AND KEEP THEM HERE. By eliminating the magnets you eliminate the reason to come or stay. Also, making life miserable while being here illegally just gives that extra boost. No need to spend a lot more $. Here is the plan (espoused by many but never by the MSM).
1. Cease birthright citzenship and make retro active back to 1986.
2. End all entitlements to illegals
3. Health care only in life threatenting situations
4. Increse fines on businesses hiring illegals to 1st stike $10K per, 2nd strike $100K per, 3rd strike loss of business charter and seizure of assets and 1 year mandatory jail (model after Sarbannes Oxley)
5. Give businesses an easy and accurate way to verify SS#
6. When encountered by police in routine work, deportation
7. Anyone caught in the US illegally, and has not reported to ICE, is deported immediately. No asking for refugee assylum or hearing of any sort. You had your chance to do the right thing so bye bye. All of their possessions in the US (house/car/etc) to be seized and auctioned to pay for deportation costs.
8. If caught 2nd time in US illegally, banned form ever coming again for any reason (ie no visa) and deported immediately
9. 3rd time caught illegally here, a mandatory 1 year sentence in prison
10. Pass constitutional amendment that the gov’t can NEVER give amnesty to ilegals for any reason in the future.
See, no hope of citizenship, no $, no freebies, so why stay or come in the first place? I am sure other items could be included but this would take care of most. Now, to be fair, I would delay enacting these changes for 1 year to give the illegals here time to take care of their personal business (like sell house/car/belongings) and provide businesses time to find and train replacements. I would entertain some kind of very strict worker visa program once the “all clear” signal was given. As word got out that the party was over, those contemplating coming illegally would stop. Afterall, what is the purpose of spending $K to be smuggled in if there is no payoff in the end. Sorry for length but important.
“Stop the Hate, Stop the Violence”
“Stop the Guns, Stop the Drugs”
A.K.A. - Mexican gangs.
I have a demand for them. Get the hell out of my country.
So, in other words, they want all kinds of rights, but no responsibilities & no accountability. These people are mentally defective.
I’ll stay in my house tomorrow to avoid the media circus.
Watch the news and listen to the speeches from liberals spewing how much WE hate illegals even breathing our air.
Violence isn’t out of the question at this point. I expect something to happen tomorrow.
Oh well.

RESOLUTION REGARDING THE MAY 1, 2008
“TOGETHER WE ARE THE NEW MAJORITY” MARCH AND RALLY
Introduced to the Chicago, Illinois City Council April 9th 2008
WHEREAS, In 2006, millions marched to defeat the Sensenbrenner bill in the United States Congress that would have disrupted the lives of 12 million undocumented individuals and their families; and
WHEREAS, Since 2003, millions have marched to end the war in Iraq; and
WHEREAS, In 2008, millions rallied and voted for a new movement of hope to provide universal health care, place a moratorium on home foreclosures, provide a second chance for ex-offenders, renegotiate NAFTA, fight for a living wage and an immigration reform to stop the raids, deportations, no-match firings and separation of families; and
WHEREAS, Although there is a well-funded and vocal minority of hate that has created the danger of division in the past, as the Reverend Jesse Jackson has said, “Black brown red yellow and white, we are all equal in God’s site” must be the motto of the future that binds us all together; and
WHEREAS, The Honorable Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago, will make the opening speech on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at the “Together We are the New Majority” March and Rally; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That a suitable copy of this resolution be prepared and presented to the Chicago Mayday Coordinating Committee.

Once again you toss the wrong side of the coin. Most americans aren’t ok with ILLEGAL Immigration 81%. We’re NOT a democracy we’re a Constitutional Republic. Nowhere in the Constitution will you find the word democracy. our founding fathers in their wisdom knew democracies don’t work even though our moronic politicians are trying to take us there.
Check my link in #27. They can demand all they want but when the gangs attack a Marine (decorated) it’s time we fight back. Vi Agra Gossa wants a race war? It’s on.
What a classic Jacksonism -”Replace Globalization with Nobilization”. It would be laughable if not so darned scary!

Are you insane? Oh yea sorry, you are a liberal. Every legitimate poll (even those with enormous biases) shows the overwhelming majority of people oppose illegal immigration. EVERY SINGLE ONE. They differ on the solution but the majority opposes it. The so called “elected representatives” refuse to listen, but it is there for everyone to see. So your statement is ridiculous an uninformed.
Now this is funny. She almost had the perfect crime.
I’ve stopped eating taco’s at the local taqueria, tell home depot illegals to leave me alone and go home, do not watch univison. One of these days they shall learn THIS COUNTRY IS NOT YOURS TO DO AS YOU PLEASE!!!!!
skg
Ok, it’s not a democracy. It’s a Republic. Our reps make decisions for us. Second, if it was “ok” it wouldn’t be illegal.
Your posts are tiresome, but I’m not going to let it slide. F for today.
I have news for a certain entity…. this ISN’T a democracy nor has it ever been. It is a Federal Republic. The borders are sovereign , and we who are the citizens, get it? citizens, will defend it. This is getting to the end .
Just got an e-mail from my HR dept. Supposed to be a march down Alaskan Way
in front of our building starting at noon. Then they have another for students starting around four. Nothing like people celebrating a holiday of a failed communist regime to make you laugh.
Once again lgm is clueless.
lgm majority
Lock and load.
Could this be a coded warning to the Democrats to either make a visible show of support for illegal immigration, such as killing the border fence project outright, or else risk losing the illegals provisional, a.k.a, fraudulent, ballot support?
I think these open borders folk need to realize that the U.S. is a republic, and as long as the majority does not support open borders policy, their threats and intimidation will get them nothing.
Indeed, passing blatant lies off as fact. But what else do we expect from him at this point? That he will suddenly see the error of his ways and reform himself? Pigs will fly first (no pun intended).
Now if ICE had any sense, they would order about 1,000 buses, round up every agent they have, and just start deporting them from the rally. Backed up by the national guard of course.
Tell it to your government. If you want to work and make demands, do it at home in Mexico. Si puedo that.
Now if ICE had any
senseBalls.ajmontana, i was trying to be nice, but yes.
Hey #68, when I was a kid we sang it this way:
Not that I’m advocating violence, or implying that I’m going to harm you.
Besides if “a majority” of American’s think illegal “immigration” is okay then they should use the power of their numbers to change the law. What? It was already tried and their numbers were too few? Oh in that case, get used to it.

More likely, ICE would send every agent to get a good count of just how many visa’s they need to rubber stamp once the congress finally manages to force amensty down our throats. That way they have a head start with pre-filled in forms, rubber stamped, just waiting for a name. I have NO FAITH in ICE to even minimally enforce the laws they are tasked with.

speaking of flying pigs … hear they found that Coachella Music Festival flying pig … heard that it landed across 2 people’s driveways … so they are splitting the $10K reward …
hey aj … did it land at your house? …
Yes lgm:
America is a constitutional republic. Democracy is a political tool we use. Please stop euro-izing your country.
My demands:
Better Tamales
Noiseless leaf blowers
Don’t buy booze at 8 am and drive drunk
Stop littering
Stop the drug runners
Stop coming illegally and do it right
Learn and speak English
Respect our laws
No handouts for doing nothing but having anchor babies
etc etc etc.
lgm, a majority is NOT ok with illegal immigration, just nobody in washington cares. GOP or DNC. If this continues without a fix, there will be violence, perhaps to the level of civil war in the long term. They want to come to america? fine. Get in line and do it legaly. Just like I had to. As a LEGAL alien who EARNED my citizenship the old fashioned way, I am sick of hearing about people who think they are too good for the law simply because thier skin is brown.
no! the dang wind was blowing the wrong direction! but I was ready! lol
aj …
… better luck next time
If you go to mydesert.com they have a vid. one of the neighbors had the big chunk of that oinker…. lol. I still say it was freed on purpose.
Another reason to fence off most of Northern California & parts of Oregon! No one allowed out, all other moonbats ordered to go there!
I’d be much more impressed by all the anti-illegal indignation if it included support for Ramos and Compean.
They are truly the forgotten ones. Even those who are at their snarkiest when the illegals make demands can’t be bothered to care about two men who are suffering for trying to uphold our laws in the face of Jorge “let ‘em all in” Boosh and his cadre of Mexicanophile panderers.
Only thing I can say is you’re a Jack-Ass.
God help any kids that have to suffer your mentorship in school.
Weary Citizen - I love it.
Desert Lover - I moved to Kalifornia from Arizona. I LOVE Joe! I still have my Sheriff Joe Bobblehead and my pink underwear with ‘Go Joe!’ on it.
If what Arizona is doing would be done in all States, we wouldn’t have to pay for deportation. They’d leave on their own and take their anchor babies with them.
I didn’t see this on either list but may have missed it. Strict penalties for anyone leasing homes/apts to or giving home loans to illegals. No more housing!
Among the Minutemen members here in MN, we’re always thinking of Ramos and Compean.. always.
Only one comment on this from me.
I hate the “We’re not criminals” lie.
If you break an immigration law (or ANY law), you are by definition a criminal until you’ve paid your fine or done your time. Until the laws change, yes, you illegal immigrants are indeed criminals, even if you’ve never broken another law in your life.

That rental restriction is a part of the Oklahoma illegal alien law … wish it was part of ours here in AZ …

(kidding about the Charles Manson stuff. He needs to never be paroled, stupid CA laws….always making him have a *chance*)
Wow. These people have a real sick platform of politics. Unfortunately, it’s these moonbats that get into the news. Normal people don’t.
Very good points. Agree to all except 1 and 5.
>1. Cease birthright citizenship and make retro active back to 1986.
Doesn’t that need a constitutional amendment? And why 1986? Why not 2008 or 1950? The fight on deciding the date will just drag for years and we will have more illegals during that time:(. The easiest would be from now-on.
>5. Give businesses an easy and accurate way to verify SS#
It is already there in many states and also we have SAVE act coming into picture while giving out Driver’s License to immigrants. Till now the only use of this is in harassing LEGAL immigrants because of extremely poor implementation. An illegal gets by since he/she has a stolen SSN of a citizen. A legal immigrant has valid SSN and gets caught up in the bureaucracy b/w DMV, USCIS and the FBI. Correcting this system would need millions and if our politicians can scrap some PORK projects to fund this, it would be a dream come true.

I feel sure the reason for the 1986 date is because that was the last time they granted amnesty … so any of the illegals granted amnesty at that time that have had children would be legal citizens anyway … only those coming here illegally since then would have “anchor babies” …
dl, I wonder if our guys, you know the ones using our SS#s are going to march tomorrow or lay low since they already have it made.

This is actually somewhat of a point. If a majority wanted it, and it was according to law, then we should just get used to it.
But — We do not know that a majority want it, and we know illegals are, well, illegal. Even if a majority wanted it, we should change the law to accomodate it, not just let it be….
Here are my demands;
I do not want to pay taxes.
I want to shoot anyone that comes to my door speaking spanish and is a male.
I want to have MY freedom of speech on NC media websites.
I want CONGRESS to resign and vacation in Mexico.
I want the local flea market that is infested with illegals, usually drinking, picked up by ICE.
I want those who have lost family members due to negligence by our government to file major class action suits and WIN BIG.
I want all employers to be put in prison for employing them and NOT reporting taxes to the IRS.
I want MY COUNTRY BACK.
aj … I suspect they will lay low to maintain their image of being legal … unless they are even dumber than we know they already are …
Nobilization???
Also a great way to stop separating families, is to reunite the illegals with their loved ones through deportation. There ya go!
I don’t think “nobilization” is actually a word in the dictionary … anyone finds it give us a link … besides … there is no “nobility” in the USA … we don’t have Kings and Queens etc. …
May 1st is Law Day doesn’t any care anymore about the laws that make this country great? No! Then let just claim Mexico as the 51st state and get this marches over with. And get Univision to broadcast from there.
SLAVERY, BY COWARDICE AND STUPIDITY.
Just like Mexico where the mafia rules and the peons
droolget their a$$es shot off because they’re too cowardly.AJ #112, I think it will depend on the size of the Shadow tomorrow. You know, the one they all hide in.
Little Girly Man-OIC of the Keyboard Warrior Brigade-you should welcome all 12-20 million illegals into your home and your college. You’re in the twilight zone again because the MAJORITY OF AMERICAN CITIZENS AND LEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT OKAY WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION-GOT THAT MATHBOY?
Sorry to shout for the rest of you all.
A day without an illegal is like a beautiful day with sunshine.
this sounds a little bitter and um….clinging……or just nuts!
It may be time for a counter protest to be held at major border crossings.
Are you going to burn the flag in front of english101’s “alter boys“
Kate and I are ready USN RET save a window space for me…LOL
Weary Citizen #64 great list of how to deal with our unwelcome guests. These people really need to start walking on egg shells instead of rubbing their illegal activities in our faces. Most people I talk to are losing their patience with the inaction of government at all levels and the brazen actions of the invaders every Mayday. The average American citizen is just about at the breaking point and it is only going to take one spark that will ignite a push back that may be anything but peaceful. I agree with many others on this site it is time to lock and load. If the illegal enablers want my guns ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE!
VIVA LE PURGE…
And of course the taxpayers are paying for this circus, at least indirectly.
Time to force illegals to say “no puedo!!!!!”
Watch this
CBS clip of the cost to American taxpayers for the births of babies to illegal aliens… “anchor babies”…
it will make you sick!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxUs_ciRhBc
As I watched this clip, it reminded me of how horrible it was for US to almost run out of health insurance for our baby…
and to be unable to purchase private insurance…
but to watch babies of illegals go home w/ full medical benefits.

Marches to close some intersections
Organizers of tomorrow’s May 1st march and rally in downtown Santa Rosa say thousands will take to the streets to call for an end to local immigration raids and unfair free trade agreements that are part of he root cause of international immigration.
Davin Cardenas, an organizer with the Graton Day Labor Center and a key organizer of the May 1st march, said the event has three goals:
Demonstrate local support for the creation of a “county of refuge” for undocumented immigrants in Sonoma County.
To call for the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department to end its local cooperation with federal immigration officials.
To end free trade agreements, such as NAFTA, which event organizers said have further impoverished millions living in developing nations, forcing them to seek economic opportunities in other countries.
Two marches, one beginning at 12 p.m. in Santa Rosa’s Roseland neighborhood and the other at 1 p.m. at Santa Rosa Junior College, will meet at Juilliard Park on Santa Rosa Avenue.
A counter demonstration organized by the Sonoma County chapter of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps is scheduled to take place at 100 Santa Rosa Avenue beginning at 12 p.m. and ending at 4 p.m.
“We’ll be there to protest illegal immigration, the fact that the march is happening is perfect opportunity,” said William Gifford, director of the local chapter of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.
Gifford said he and others will call for Sonoma County not to become a “sanctuary area” and would like more cooperation between sheriff’s deputies and federal immigration agents working in the area.
Gifford said the one thing they share in common with organizers of the May 1st march and rally is a condemnation of NAFTA, which he said has forced many U.S. jobs to places like Mexico.
“NAFTA has affected us and some of our jobs and companies and corporation have moved to Mexico, where they’re paying lower wages and sending products back to us at premium prices,” said Gifford. “The American consumers have not seen any real benefit from the relocation of American jobs.”
The Roseland gathering will begin on Sebastopol Road just west of Dutton Avenue. From there demonstrators will go east on Sebastopol Road to Railroad Avenue, then Fifth Street, around Santa Rosa Plaza, up First Street and down Santa Rosa Avenue to Juilliard Park.
This route is expected to periodically halt traffic at several intersections as marchers take up one lane of traffic.
The second march from Santa Rosa Junior College will travel down Mendocino Avenue, Healdsburg Avenue, B Street, Fourth Street and Santa Rosa Avenue to Juilliard Park. The march will use the sidewalk and is not expected to affect traffic.
Terri, I was almost ashamed that I felt anger and resentment when that woman explained why she came to the US illegally. Then, the shame passed and I’m not a very happy person right now. I could get in big trouble tomorrow with my comments.
Check NumbersUSA website and contact your representatives(?) about supporting the SAVE Act.
The SAVE Act is a reasonable approach for dealing with the influx.
Check the newspaper articles from across the country.
Directly. LAPD had to go through special training on how not to offend the illegal invaders. That’s tax payer money down the drain and time misspent. Instead of trainging them how to treat the rock throwers, they should be on the street cracking up their gangs.
Here’s an Idea, police department always run these stings with putting a cop on a corner posing as a prostitute then they ticket, jail, find the guys trying to purchase the illegal labor.
Why don’t they do that to contractors that hire illegals. Dress some cops up like illegals, put them at home depot, and when the people come to hire them, FINE THEIR A$$E$ like there is no tomorrow. Watch the work dry up for the illegals and the wages go up for the legals. NO WORK, NO STAY.
The fines could be used to fix the mess the illegals will leave behind.
I think if we put it in term of prostitution the Politicos will listen.
I’m John Ansell and I approve my post.
Weary Citizen #64- I like your proposals. There will be a protest here in San Antonio tomorrow. They can protest - I’ll be reminding my Senators and congressman exactly where I stand.
John Ansell I approve of your post #133 too!
Las Vegas is an “unofficial” sanctuary city…
the police are not allowed to question status of immigration.
Reno IS a sanctuary city.
A bunch of crap.
And the state wonder why it’s in the hole right now.
I love the sign “We are workers, not criminals”.
It cracks me up that they believe that they can simply declare that they are not criminals. I didn’t realize you could do that. I wonder if they’ll continue to believe that when someone commits a crime against them and attempts to shrug it off by saying “I’m not a criminal”.
The fact is that they are in this country in violation of it’s laws. Yet, somehow, they believe that this does not make them criminals. This shows that they are either completely illogical, completely detached from reality, or completely lacking in integrity. Take your pick. Whatever you choose, it says a lot about the quality of the human beings we’re dealing with.

Enjoy!
Grumbles,
Yes. I meant exactly what I stated.
My neighborhood have had burglaries, shootings, etc., by illegals.
Since I live alone, YES, I would shoot a male that does NOT speak English if I felt threatened. They do go door to door too. Could be the same ones committing the crimes occurring.
Illegal’s also drive around our towns without car insurance.
They are marching two blocks from my house here in San Jose, but I will be at work and luckily miss them.
Cinco de mayo (or however it’s spelled, I don’t care) should be completely revamped into Border Enforcement Day. That’s the only way it’ll ever be more than just a day on the calendar for me.
I attend a SoCal university, so I am sure I will see plenty of this. I’m bringing my camera to document the idiocy.
May 1st will be another “The whole world is watching” yawn fest. Lots of marches and protests in oh so predictable cities. What they always fail to grasp is that, while it seems like a big deal to them at the time, in the big scheme of things it amounts to comical fart in the wind. Sorry May 1st ‘08 crowd, the revolution ain’t gonna happen any time soon. LOL!
