   I’m a little baffled, puzzled, confused. I’ve listened to the radio, looked online at AP, and other sites. I expected to see some live reports of these big demonstrations for illegal aliens, and I can find nothing, nada, zilch. Oh, there’s predictions of massive ones. A guy in New York says the Arizona law has awakened a sleeping giant, and in passing the article says 5,000 people were in a NYC park demonstrating about it. 5,000? I could get that many out in support of my favorite soda pop, Dr. Pepper, but where are the demonstrators?

   In liberal-speak, a crowd of 5,000 at a pro-open borders rally means 50 people showed up, including the media. A crowd of 5,000 at a Tea Party rally means over 2 million showed up.

   Kind of like how they were reporting that 5,000 barrels of oil per day were leaking into the Gulf the first couple of days but now that has grown over 250,000 gallons.

   Of course it was. It’s about campaign money and votes. I’ve posted this before, but my Indonesian wife is still struggling after 5 years, to get a resident visa. I could have spent 3-4K thereabouts and bought a fake green card and ID. She would be working now, for quite awhile. No, we go the legal route. The problem is that Immigration wants a birth certificate. Unfortunately, the center, in her Indonesian island, burned down, years ago. Some records were saved and scattered. The only thing she had was an English translation. They won’t accept it. They did concede and say that if she could produce 2 witnesses to her birth, they would waive the certificate. Uh, she’s 59 years old. Thousands have been spent on lawyers and refiling fees. Thousands, also, have been spent on getting people to search around to see if her certificate was saved. Finally, in March, a record was found. Great! Uh, now the government wants a NEW English translation. What??? Now, it’s a race to get the Embassy in D.C., to provide a new translation but they, of course, take their time. We have to May 20th. Otherwise, it’s back to square one, all over again. I retired from the medical field on April 19th, and hung up my ‘scope. I don’t want to spend thousands more, just to start all over again. She’s angry and frustrated and I can’t blame her. The government is a heckava mess when it comes to immigration and it’s a situation they caused and want…for the money and votes.

    Papa Louie,

    This is what Ted Kennedy said about the 1965 bill.

    “The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”

    Kennedy is(was)now the chair of the United States Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship, and remains a strong advocate for immigrants, both documented and undocumented.

    During the sixties and seventies about the same time there wasn’t enough room for citizens to have children.

    No No No! We should just GIVE them that beautiful coastline? I totally disagree. The southern half of California is pretty much lost to us. But the top part still has hope. I don’t believe we should give them one single inch. That land is ours. We own it, we need to salvage it and get rid of the usurpers and the moonbats. That is prime land there. Why should we give it away? We must fight for what is ours.

    Breaking news:

    Immigrant advocates are being arrested in front of the White House fence, after sitting down and defying orders from police.

    About three dozen protesters and U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois joined in the civil disobedience Saturday. They held a sign saying, “Obama, Stop deporting our Families.” Some wore T-shirts that read “Arrest us, Not our Families.”

    Protesters are usually required to stay in motion when demonstrating in front of the White House.

    Does anyone else see the irony in this? Here is a woman, married to a US citizen, working through the legal process to get a resident visa, and Immigration won’t accept a translation of her birth certificate.

    Meanwhile a ‘live certificate of birth’ suffices for the TOTUS – and no one is allowed to wonder why. It’s especially interesting, considering that when he was younger people remember being told he was from Kenya.

    Not trying to reignite that debate, just noting the differing standards of proof required in these two instances. One would think that the requirement for POTUS would be a bit higher than for Mrs. graysonret.

    I don’t think so. I think their use of the word is intentional, or the lack of the word illegal. It is because even they know there is a difference. As soon as you put the word illegal in there, they don’t have any argument.

    They know there is a difference.

    I bet most of us would agree with all the stuff that has been said about immigration. We AGREE with them about immigration. My grand parents immigrated here from Denmark and England. Did so LEGALLY. Just cause I’m a white guy does not mean my heritage is immigrant free. I’m third generation immigrant.

    We need to keep the focus on the word ILLEGAL.

    I was just reading Breon York’s response to Michael Gerson’s criticism of Arizona’s new law; this paragraph in particular resonated with me:
    

    …What America is Gerson living in? No, we are not confronted by actors with heavy German accents demanding our papers. We are instead confronted routinely by people of all stripes asking to see our driver’s license. When we board an airplane, we are asked to produce a government-issued photo ID, usually a driver’s license. When we make some credit- or debit-card purchases in department stores, we are asked to produce a driver’s license. When we enter many office buildings, both private and government, security guards often ask us to produce a driver’s license. When we go to doctors’ offices and hospitals, we are asked to produce a driver’s license. When we check into hotels, we are asked to produce a driver’s license. When we purchase some over-the-counter drugs, we are asked to produce a driver’s license…
    [emphasis mine]

    Care to guess why some of us are asked to produce a driver’s license when purchasing certain over-the-counter drugs? Yup, because some idiots use a certain very effective decongestant (pseudoephedrine) in the production of meth.

    So those of us who suffer with allergies – or even simple colds – have to produce our ‘papers’ just so we can buy a perfectly legal, and in itself, innocent, pharmaceutical. And it’s all because someone else insists on breaking the law.

    One store ultimately lost my business because they insisted that, contrary to the law, they be allowed to scan my driver’s license (the law only states that I have to show it).

    Oh, and those idiots who are screeching that any Latino stopped for a traffic infraction will be ‘run in’ if he/she doesn’t have his/her driver’s license, get a clue bat. If I, with my lily-white complexion, get pulled over for a traffic violation (or even a light that’s out) and can’t produce both my license and registration, I’m in a whole lot of trouble. I really wish they’d quit this bull-crap.

    Demonstrators and counter-protesters take to the streets in Arizona
    
    —

    Across the street from Armory Park, where a march that had swelled to several thousand was scheduled to end, a couple dozen counter-protesters gathered to denounce the march. They carried signs that said “Deport Illegal Mexicans,” “Remember the Alamo, Mexico,” “Boycott Mexico” and “Mexico out of US.”

    Claudia White, 56, of Tucson, a naturalized Mexican immigrant who organized the counter-protest, said she supported SB 1070 because she worries about the consequences of what she called “open border policies” and feels recent immigrants identify more as a group and not as individuals.

    —

    Manuel de Jesus Hernandez, a professor at Arizona State University who teaches Mexican American literature, said the law is a reminder that Arizona was founded in the 19th century by people who sought to join the slaveholding south. “The people who founded Arizona believed in slavery and their roots are coming back,” he said.

    —-

    At one point, an Anglo man approached the crowd, talking in support of the law. Members of the Los Angeles group, who said they supported indigenous rights, chased him away, yelling through their bullhorn “go back to Europe!”]

    Re: the upside down American flag pictured above:

    Traditionally, an inverted flag is recognized as a signal of distress among navies and merchant marine. Doing so as a sign of disrespect or protest is rather ironic, as it indicates a distressed mindset.

    When I worked in Manila, I often walked through Quezon Circle in the NE part of the city. Manuel Quezon was the first president of the Philippines Commonwealth and spent most of WWII in Washington after the Japanese occupation. His tomb is at the center of the circle, below a towering monument comparable to the Washington Monument. There is a promenade leading to the monument lined by flags from all nations.

    Walking the promenade one day I was upset to see the American flag upside down. I didn’t really care whether this was a statement or simply an error, but brought her down and raised her upright and went on my way. The next time I walked the route, Old Glory was again upside down, which answered the question. This time when I set her right I attached a small note to the flag. “Two KM from here lie 50,000 young americans who died for your freedom”. (Manila American Cemetary and Memorial)

    Never had a problem after that. Seeing Old Glory upside down beneath the Mexican flag is upsetting, but illustrates a warped and absurd mindset that fools no one. If Americans did not buy Mexican products and provide them jobs, they could not exist.

    Welcome to el Norte Geronimo Ramirez where victimization and whining like an overly tired child are now considered the highest public virtues.

    How do we join this group? I’d like to be a member. I too support indigenous rights.

    Were any of these illegal immigrants born and lived as a people group in Arizona?

    If we give illegals amnesty, remember the new health”care” bill. It is already trillions over what they promised. Add in 30 million illegals. Buh-bye U.S.

    “Buh-bye U.S.”, and hello permanent one-party system in the US.

    THIS is the SOLE goal of dems in this whole debate; to bring in a voting block that, like blacks and other latino’s already here, vote for dems and their gov’t goody bags, taken from hard working taxpayers. If amnesty passes, this Country’s politics changes forever, and IMHO REAL civil war would shortly follow.

    BTW, saw Mark Rubio on Fox News Sunday this morning and he was weaseling out of his anti-AZ statement from last week. He rationalized that AZ modified the law to remove his prior concerns. What????? Has anyone read or heard of any modifications since this law was passed? Rubio may be the best candidate in FL but he is sounding more and more like the polymorphic Republicans who we are trying to vote out of office.

    Yep. News of it easy to find. Modified and resigned on Friday. Removed any possibility for profiling.

    As it is now the check on immigration status is second. It is only after some other crime is involved.

    So IF you commit a crime and don’t have proper documentation, THEN you are going to be checked for legal status.

    If you commit a crime and have documentation your immigration status is not being checked.

    Only need a driver’s license.

    The same process is for all of us. If I get stopped for committing a crime and I don’t have an ID of some kind, I’m in trouble and will be checked out.

    This is the same for all AZ folks.

    Any possibility of racial profiling was removed.

    Yep, bill changed Friday to be certain.

    Ultimately, the case for the open borders crowds is made by assuming that AZ police are corrupt white bigots. I am reading that more than a third of the police in AZ are Hispanic.

    Yeah, let’s ignore the fact that at the height of Mexican occupation of the Southwest from CA to CO, there were only 11,000 occupants of which only about 1,000 were adult males and most of them didn’t want to be here. Once they won their independence, they abandoned the missions and military outposts and went home.

    It was the discovery of gold in 1849 that brought them back and like just about everyone else who wasn’t part of the wealthy establishment, most of them lost their property in the process of recertifying their property deeds.

    And you can’t lump all Mexicans together either. California had their own version of the Texan Tejanos who were fighting for independence alongside the whites and who didn’t want to be part of either the US or of Mexico. So maybe Mexicans took the Southwest from Mexico? That if much more valid a claim than that the US stole it from Mexico.
