The May Day angry mob you won’t see
Reconquista revolution without borders! (Photo credit: El Marco, Denver)
They came, they saw, they threatened or committed violence in the name of open borders and workers’ rights. But alas, Frank Rich and Paul Krugman’s columns decrying the insane rage and hate of the May Day angry mob got lost in the mail.
In Santa Cruz, they carried torches and vandalized at least 18 businesses:
Downtown business owners spent Sunday repairing shattered windows and doors after a May Day rally Saturday night turned into a riot with approximately 250 people marching along Pacific Avenue, some carrying makeshift torches, throwing large rocks and paint bombs, and spray-painting walls with graffiti.
At least 18 businesses suffered damage during the rally in honor of international workers that began at 9 p.m. and escalated into mayhem around 10:30 p.m., police said. Investigators estimated damage at $100,000, though some business owners said it could be more. No injuries were reported.
On Sunday, sea green-colored glass littered sidewalks where windows and glass doors had been smashed. Maintenance workers, many getting called in the middle of the night, boarded up windows with plywood until new sheets of glass could be installed.
The vandalized businesses included Urban Outfitters, Peet’s Coffee, Noah’s Bagels, Jamba Juice, Velvet Underground and Dell Williams Jewelers. The unoccupied Rittenhouse building also was damaged. A police car was vandalized with rocks and paint, department spokesman Zach Friend said.
In San Francisco, anti-illegal immigration activists were attacked by the May Day marchers:
LISA AMIN GULEZIAN, REPORTER: Allan, for the most part the event was peaceful, but just about an hour ago, three people were attacked and two others were arrested. The people who were assaulted were part of the Minutemen demonstration in favor of Arizona’s new immigration law.
They said a large group of immigrants’ rights supporters followed them to the BART station on Market Street and started punching and kicking them, and calling them names.
PARKER WILSON, BAY AREA ANARCHIST: They said we were racists, and that we were against them, and against their town, and against San Francisco, and what they were saying. They said we needed to get out and they called us racists, and that we need to go home. And then they just attacked my friends and me.
The City Square was at the SF protest and captured the border-sabotaging Che lovers:
Spotted in the window of a San Francisco shop. Didn’t get vandalized, naturally:
In Denver, El Marco caught the Aztlan/anarchist mob at its best (er, worst). Here, the illegal alien advocates accuse us of being the invaders. Really:
The (professionally printed) Nazi card was out in full force in Dallas:
So was more unabashed reconquista sentiment, as I previewed on Saturday. Thanks to reader N.N. for e-mailing these photos:
Behold the culture of open-borders entitlement:
And requisite Tea Party-bashing:
Robbie Cooper has a report on the Che worshipers and socialist agitators at the Austin TX May Day rally. Check out these lovely attendees. As Robbie notes: “One of these masked clowns is a reporter for Univision Channel 62 in Austin:”

In Minnesota, what do they want?
And how do they want it?

An account from the NYC protest:
About an hour later we were heading to a concert on the NYU campus, and started walking down Broadway toward Astor Place. We started hearing lots of police sirens all at once, and then looked straight ahead. There were young guys with baseball bats and Che signs pinned to their backpacks running down the street smashing store windows, all on the west side of Broadway. We stopped dead on a corner, because there were police cars coming from so many different directions the street lights were rendered meaningless. As soon as we stopped, about 6 NYPD units pulled up to our exact corner and the cops jumped out and tackled two of the vandals literally TWO FEET in front of me. Some other officers arrived, jumped out of their cars, and started a crazy foot pursuit of another guy who started running in zig-zags down the middle of Broadway. They tackled him as well, in the middle of the freakin’ street, as cars kept almost hitting everyone involved. It happened incredibly quickly. There were tons of eyewitnesses, and I even saw a few people videotaping, but of course I can’t find mention of this incident anywhere online or in the media. We had about five minutes to get to the concert, so stopping and gawking wasn’t an option. We just kept walking, tried to get away from the whole mess. But we could see and hear police interviewing plenty of witnesses, and heard people say “they just kept breaking windows”, and saw the perps with their faces in the pavement for ourselves.

If there are to be no borders, then why does the sign depict a specific geographical area with borders?
If there are to be no borders, then why carry US flags, a nation whose borders you seem to wish to eliminate?
Texas and California were not territories taken from Mexico by the USA. They were independant nations before they joined the US.
Incidentally, southern NM and AZ were purchased from Mexico.
You took that construction job from Americans. That construction job used to pay good money.
As for taking yours apart, I don’t even know what that means. I assume you don’t mean the one in Central America.
I did my part last night – I did the Voice Over for Sharron Angle’s new radio spots for her campaign against Harry Reid – first up: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!
Number two – the economy.
Listen to Mark Levin’s (live) endorsement of Sharron after a few questions, including one about illegal immigration.
I see the Mexican flag is back.
You know, just as I’ve come to realize that the toilet is the perfect place to keep your koran, I think extra crispy is the condition to keep your Mexican flag in.
Just out of curiosity, would it be legal for me to go down to Mexico City and protest Mexican military crossing our border and hold an iconized image of Edmund Burke?
yes I agree we should “liberate Arizona by any means necessary”. Take back the State from the illegal aliens and their supporters! and then move on to the other States where they have invaded!
Illegals protesting the enforcement of United States laws – what’s wrong with this picture?
Why would anyone want to grant amnesty to people who have no respect for the rule of law?
Once granted amnesty, being the law breakers they are, they will start a new crop of illegals so they can get amnesty too. It will be a never ending amnesty program.
Boy are the open borders and liberals ever stupid and the rest of us are stupid for letting it happen.
oops forgot the pic tag….
http://illegalprotest.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=242;type=avatar
These peaceful demonstrations will truly make Americans embrace the open borders cause. After all, these people are only coming here in search of a better life…Of course, its always at the expense of tax paying Americans that are experiencing a better life.
Let’s not confuse them with facts.
The last picture has a correct sign – we are liberating Arizona – from the Mexican invaders!!
That is exactly what has happened with each and every amnesty that has been tried. By not closing and securing the borders, a whole new crop of illegals just stream in, cynically knowing that history shows that amnesties are granted every generation or so.
The illegals are only a symptom of the real problem: the employers and the welfare state. We need harsh penalties for employers of illegals (including prison time for the CEO), and we need to END all government services for non legal residents.
If we do that, they will self deport.
The problem is though that BOTH parties and their interests are complicit in this problem. Democrats see illegals as future democrat voters, as well as wards of their ever growing welfare state. The “country club” branch of the Republican Party see illegals as cheap labor.
We do need immigration reform. But not the kind that will be proposed. We do need to increase legal immigration, especially of desirable people who have education and/or skills. America has and always need as many of those people as we can get. People with actual skills and talents will CONTRIBUTE to this country, not leech off of it.
Unskilled workers should be allowed in ONLY as temporary workers, for a limited amount of time, and only in times where unemployment is below the “full employment” threshold (hint: a lot lower than it is today) and only if industries can DEMONSTRATE the lack of availability of American labor.
America has it’s own problems. Sorry to sound cold, but if Mexicans find Mexico to be so bad, maybe they should look to fix it themselves?
I do not know for sure if this picture was photo-shopped or not, but I find it very disturbing. And considering everything I’ve seen in the past, I would not put it past them…
http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-197445.html
Exactly. And, a lot of people don’t give enough attention to the fact that any person illegally in the US can pursue legalization TODAY by working with/through an immigration lawyer. What they REALLY want is CHEAP and EASY legalization.
I’ll save the analysis of past Amnesty failures for another time, but I’ll offer the simple question: which Amnesty of the past stopped the flow of illegals into the US?
Finally, Tea Party groups becoming more involved on the Amnesty front:
http://www.numbersusa.com/content/news/april-30-2010/tea-party-fight-senate-amnesty-proposal.html
Very scary, if true. Sad to say, this past weekend really ratcheted up the hate at the illegal alien marches. More and more likely some serious violence will break out at this rate.
I wonder who is cheer-leading these guys?
I play around a little with Photoshop. To me it looks like the original sign was blurred out, and the writing was layered in on top of that. On the other hand it could be real. Never overestimate the intelligence of open borders advocates!
Don’t worry–I won’t.
It’s all so confusing to me as to why anyone would listen to what these ‘protesters’ have to say, or write. If some group from, say, Kazahkstan, or Cameroon, declared that they should be allowed to just walk across our borders and live here and we were to accept it, would we? It’s no different because they live across our southern border!
The most revealing video of May Day marches I have seen.
Aztlan marchers in San Diego.
In case it does not come out, we have deported millions of illegals in the past. After WW1, WW2, and Korea. In fact, Eisenhower deported 12 million over two years. It can be done but the present political class wants us to believe that it is not possible.
After violent, racist, reconquista meets the street, more shameless media Tea Party bashing in 5,4,3,2…
The Right has delicious beef for dinner, for the left, bitter projection is the entree.
As payback….. if your contractor, lawn cutter, etc has any illegals on his payrol… FIRE HIM now. And tell him why.
b-cat …
You are basically correct …
Those areas were ceded to the United States and others purchased for the price of $15 Million under provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.
This treaty, signed on February 2, 1848, ended the war between the United States and Mexico. By its terms, Mexico ceded 55 percent of its northernmost territory, including parts of present-day Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah, to the United States.
California and Texas considered themselves independent Republics despite also being claimed by Mexico …
Too bad none of these demonstrators have taken the time to read and learn the truth about the history of these parts of the USA and how they came to be a part of our great nation …
Sure makes me want to go out to a mexican restaurant and celebrate Cinco de Mayo….we need to shun every single mention of it. You can bet the owners will be advertising like crazy.
NJ-Aviator is right. Boycott every single business you encounter that employs workers you even suspect of not being legal.
DesertLover
Thanks for the history. I took Southwest History in high school in NM, but that was MANY years ago, I’m a bit rusty.
What makes these people think that if even they were successful, and the American West was ceded to Mexico, that the region wouldn’t turn into the helhole that is Mexico now. They would then just be jumping the new border.
But if these people could just have amnesty they would instantly become the nicest, most peaceful and law-abiding folks you ever met.
/sarc
Pretty much every Mexican restaurant I’ve been to seems to have illegals working there. I won’t eat at places where I suspect illegals work at, no way they are meeting standards of safety if the business doesn’t employ LEGAL workers.
As for “cinco de Mayo” or whatever, yeah, I definitely think it is a “celebration” that should be shunned by Americans, especially given that it comes hot on the heels of the May Day world communist brotherhood riots.
Indeed, I will go as far as say that all products Mexican should be avoided.
It is clear that Mexico has no respect for my country, why should I not reciprocate?
Speaking of By Any Means Necessary:
According to the FBI and Department of Homeland Security….
•Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.
•83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens.
•75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Albuquerque are illegal aliens..
•40.1% of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
•29% (630,000) convicted illegal alien felons fill our state and federal prisons at a cost of $1.6 billion annually
•53% plus of all investigated burglaries reported in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas are perpetrated by illegal aliens.
•50% plus of all gang members in Los Angeles are illegal aliens from south of the border.
•71% plus of all apprehended cars stolen in 2005 in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California were stolen by Illegal aliens or “transport coyotes”.
•63% of cited/stopped drivers in Arizona have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 63%, 97% are illegal aliens
•380,000 plus “anchor babies” were born in the US to illegal alien parents in just one year.”
Shoot to Kill on the border. Let the illegal border crashing Mexican Nationals decide whether they will be shot by demonic coyotes or shot by US border officials.
Deterrence by bullet is the only way because politicians lack the will to cut off the gravy train for border crashers and their employers.

Look for the dozens of bycicles parked out back. Even some of the nicest restaurants in town have them. Either that or the cooks and dishwashers have a serious alcohol problem and the courts have put them on the Reebok express.
vsatt – most of my rants last week were about how an amnesty is not going to instantly make any one of them law-abiding citizens. It’s all camel dung.

The Left Wing Media is reporting that these were all patriotic peaceful protests. No mention of the damage Michelle Malkin reports and documents here.

It’s great when the LWM flys air cover for the ILLEGAL ALIEN AMNESTY (aka “immigration reform”) supporters.

Yep … I just like to give the folks here links to information so that they can use it to better refute the idiotic statements and accusations making up the talking points that are out there from the open-borders groups that are based on both false impressions and out-and-out lies …
DesertLover said:
That was $15 million in 1848 dollars. I have no idea how to turn the figure into 2010 dollars, but I’m guessing they were paid handsomely.
Photoshopped sign. Now it makes more sense. Here
A couple of things to point out:
There are already a ton of regulations that employers have to abide by regarding the citizenship status of their employees. LAW-ABIDING employers follow these regulations and file the appropriate paperwork, which is truly a jumbled-up mess of a nightmare complying with local, state, and federal laws…along with IRS reporting. More regulation of business isn’t the answer. However, I can appreciate the sentiment of not supporting a business who hires illegals. Chances are, that’s not the only illegal thing they are doing.
My second point is that Mexico isn’t our only source of illegal immigrants. It infuriates me no end to see left-leaning Irish contend that WE have to offer amnesty so that illegal Irish don’t get deported. Now there is an entire boatload of arguments about some situations in Ireland, with some fearing for their lives and being denied asylum. I get that. But to demand that we change our laws to accommodate folks who apparently have no regard for it in the first place is the height of arrogance. It is no less irritating coming from white Irish than from brown Mexicans.
jrgdds – you owe me a roll of paper towels. Coffee doesn’t do a keyboard any good.
They come here for bread because there’s none at home. Then they want to foment revolucion. Talk about ingrates. Go home and have your revolucion where it is long overdue.
b-cat …
According to the conversion tables located here the 15 million in 1848 dollars would be $326,086,956.52 in 2010.
What gets me is the fact that their country “Mexico” has failed them and that is why they are in this country.
They have no respect for our charity and our country.
clevergael
We can’t forget many are here illegally from the same countries that gave us 9/11 (Detroit and Dearborn can attest to that) – plus, our friends don’t mind sharing with us thousands from the Far East, Africa and the Carribbean. All will qualify under a rushed amnesty.
If true that person should have been detained!!
bear1909 …
Great statistics … the better we are armed with FACTS the better we are prepared to battle the LIES …
Well, in todays dollar that would be around $440,000,000. Not taking inflation into account I think.
I’m sure that 1848 payment was invested wisely as the foundation for creating that marvalous and inspiring economic, technological and industrial giant we see as Mexico today.
She’s a great candidate. I hope it isn’t too late. The establishment made it pretty hard for her to get her name out there. I am thrilled to see that she’s finally getting some recognition.
hawkeye54 …
see my post (#43) for the 2010 dollar amount and the link to the conversion table
I wonder how these people feel about borders of nations around the world which are not America. Like, for example, should Cuba have no enforceable border?
The country would lose half it’s population in 72 hrs, much like East Germany.
What about the new Latin American police state, Venezuela? Should Chavez stand down the revolutionaries guarding against the “imperialist lackeys” in Columbia?
How about the Korean DMZ? Should this be allowed to be dismantled by the Kim regime? What about the border between NoKorea and China?
As we all know, Iran is quite enthusiastic about border security, on land and in the Gulf.
As far as Israel is concerned, we all know what the answer would be there.
The Saudis are very protective of their Kingdom as well, but no problem there?
So many questions, so few answers.
Maybe Zombie could get some of these morons on the record for us?
Hey, look on the bright side: The one thing we have over the Europeans is that our own swelling population of hostile and un-assimilated foreigners is at least nominally Christian…
Texas had a revolution from Mexico, it wasn’t stolen. While a majority of those fighting Santa Anna were whites, there were quite a few who were fighting Texas Mexicans fighting against Santa Anna’s abrogation of the Constitution of 1824 and installing himself as dictator, and several majority Hispanic states, like Zacatecas, had also revolted against Santa Anna.
Cheeses me off to see Texas included in a map of Reconquista Mexico.
Not to mention Mexico was led by Gringos, Spaniards, during the Texas War of Independence and the Mexican-American war.
And I don’t think the Caddo nation tribes indigenous to Texas had any ties to the indigenous tribes of Central Mexico.
Also, it was a pretty good deal, seeing as how the areas we’re talking about were useless desert in 1848, full of rattlesnakes, and hostile Indians (am I allowed to say that?) and not much else.
I should have previewed, bad sentence structure, but I think my point is understandable.
The first VP of Texas was Lorenzo de Zavala, who would have been hung if Texas had lost the war…
No you didn’t build my home , not one stud not one joist not one piece of sheet rock , you didn’t pour one ounce of concrete , laid one shingle , painted on pint of paint , shoveled one rock , planted one tree put in one plant , installed one solar panel, You did not build my house one bit and you didn’t pay 1 penny for it , That was me and American citizen . Not you and illegal alien .I prefer to have my house built right and up to code
.
U have thou over crowed public schools , taxed my states limited resources , used the hospitals as your private doctors, over crowed our jails , under cut American wages , revived Tb, murdered American citizens and have been a parasitic blood sucker on the United states of America since the minute you broke in .
In their deluded ideology, they are not reconquering for Mexico, but for a revived Aztec empire, which was nowhere near as large as Mexico.
Kind of like Mussolini was reviving the Roman Empire, just as laughable.
The reason white settlers were invited to Texas was because it was across a desert from Central Mexico, Mexicans didn’t want to settle Texas, and Spain, then Mexico, feared French occupation. Moses Austin, father of Stephen F Austin, were invited to settle Texas.
Not just Americans, Irish as well, more trusted because they were Catholic, were invited to settle. San Patricio, TX was the center of one such settlement.
Steven Austin, before hostilities had commenced, went to Mexico City to negotiate the Texan’s cause, which was statehood within Mexico, not as part of the state of Coahuila, and some autonomy, and Santa Anna had him jailed.
Nope, Texas was not stolen from the Mexicans. Not at all.
And if Texas had remained Mexican, we’d be like the drug states we border, like Tamalipaus, Coahuila and Chihuahua.
Ed #58
Rick Perry is forgetting the vast majority of citizens of Texas want the border closed. He could cement his reelection today if he’d just sign on to the movement of closing the border.
How legal immigrants can support the amnesty of millions is beyond me. Their wages and lifestyle will be the first shoved under the bus. Whether they like it or not, out of self-preservation they should support no amnesty.
And we’d still be experiencing illegal aliens coming across a more northern border to make a better life for themselves. Mexican leaders squandered the money it got from the US acquisition of land from the Mexican-American War, as well as the $10 million it received in 1854 for the Gadsden purchase of southernmost Arizona and New Mexico. So by the 1860s, IIRC, Mexico was so deep in debt to European nations, France took advantage of our Civil War and occupied Mexico to enforce and extract payment of that debt. Thanks to Mexico’s internal economic and social woes, it experienced revolutions every 10 or 20 years up through the 1920′s.
Mexico’s resources continue to be squandered and its revenues siphoned off by the ruling elites much as we’re beginning to experience here by our own “ruling elite” using tax revenues to further enrich themselves and to buy votes with handouts so as to stay in power.
The anti-illegal immigration activists-patriots- need a little organizing, off place video cameras and a nasty attitude. Being San Francisco the patriots were no doubt unarmed (which is why they should move to Arizona–free firearms lessons) but organized people with the correct attitude can inflict some serious harm with at hand items.
God Bless Glenn Beck with his crusade but his Pledge of Non-Violence is of limited value. Starting violence would be wrong but as an adult human being and American citizen I do reserve the right to hit back-first if I have too. Yes I am older so not as strong and fast as I once was but
OLD AGE AND TREACHERY HAVE THEIR VALUE.

Criminales go home and and take a damn liberal with you.
Looking at these thousands of protesters only makes me more determined to fight to get them kicked out one way or another. These are horrible people, demanding we take them in. HA!! I wouldn’t let them wash my dog for free, much less let them stay in my country.!! They have no respect for my country,it’s citizens, or it’s laws. I am sick to death of even looking at them. There was a time when I understood that they needed work, but no more. Even when I see a movie with a “poor” little Mexican, I turn it off! No more sympathy from this citizen.
I’m with who ever it was that said to shoot to kill if they fry and cross the border!!
Those wacky communists/socialists/anarchists get soo excited at these marches they can’t help desroying othe peoples property and attacking their political opponents. The got their training last year at the tea party meetings. If one of our black robed gods would give these (_*_) a few years in jail, this crap would stop.
They say a border fence won’t work. Fair enough, but at least it will slow them down enough to get a bead on them.

An Armed Society is a polite society.
SOCIALISM: The other religion of tolerance.
“We built your home.”
Ya, right. The ONLY thing you have done with regards to my home is to cause property taxes and “parcel” taxes to go up because the stinkin liberal fascist teachers unions have pushed for “dual immersion” classes where spanish speaking anchor babies and border crashing offspring of their Mexican national parents can continue to speak spanish and not have to learn english.
My property has dropped in value this year but my taxes went up. That is all you have done for my house.
The other thing is that you are a net noise polluter with all the leaf blowers you guys use on Sunday mornings when u arent working at your other illegal jobs. Whatever happened to rakes and brooms? The only salvation i get is by threatening to call the cops and chasing your sorry butts off. THen you lose the contract with my neighbors because you didnt finish the job. Too bad. THen i get to kick their butts for hiring illegal labor to begin with…and school them on what the few bucks in yardwork savings is really costing them. Kind of an ass-kicking win-win.
I am tough but fair.
Now go home.
Sincerely, the grandson of legal Mexican immigrants.
Bear1909 out.
Please do not let the facts interfere with their emotions! Even now some child is being ripped from the hands of their mother and being shipped back home!! Oh wait – that was Elian Gonzales…
Anyone from the San Diego area? Ever been north on I15 through Rainbow? Or perhaps remember the camp in Rancho Peñasquitos, if I remember correctly, and the out cry over its finally being bulldozed?
The whole concept of Aztlan reconquista is moronic. Mexico was a colony of Spain for centuries. Many of these people are half European, just as many Americans have Native American blood in them. The borderlands were never part of nor taken/bought from some Aztec country/state, and for this reason, why aren’t these same people revolting against Mexican rule in Mexico since it too evolved from a European source overtaking their “Azltan”. I’ll tell you why, they are ignorant of their own history as well as that of the US.
bear1909 #70, believe you were the one that opened the ‘shoot to kill’ line? Great post and good to see you writing more often.
Believe I’ve shared with you that my sister-in-law is half Apache (AZ) and half Spaniard. She is one outspoken little mama when it comes to illegals. Never taught her children to speak either language, only English (which for her is a 3rd language). The children are paying for it now in CA..
coffee #73 – the lighter/whiter you are in Mexico the more entitled you are. Those that are half receive better schooling and run with the elites, where some of those with only a smidgeon of spanish blood (thus darker with more native features) is condemned to struggle in poverty. The U.S. is a safety valve that allows the Mexican govn’t to shove off those they don’t want to educate, provide jobs, or benefits across the border to us. As long as they continue to send home $$ they’re made out to be heros – which only encourages more illegal crossings.
Let me get this straight…The lamestream media reports that the Tea Party gatherings are angry mobs prone to violence, which is a total lie. And then, they don’t report on the gatherings by the left that ARE violent. Do we need any more proof that they are traitors? A media that refuses to report truthfully and is in cahoots with the government is committing treason. Are they not? How else to describe what is happening?
I have seen a bit more balanced reporting on CNN lately. They did cover some of the violence this weekend. I know they have some commentators who are pretty far left. But so does FoxNews (The Spitter and Shep, for example). I just don’t watch them. There are a few decent programs on CNN. As for Fox, I am watching fewer and fewer of their shows lately. I love Glenn Beck and I love Neil Cavuto. Fox and Friends in the a.m. is still pretty good. Other than that, they are losing me.
Ignorant people make useful idiots for those in power.
My paternal ancestors were not allowed to disembark in Charleston or Savannah, being of lowly Irish nationality. The authorities allowed them to disembark in New Orleans, but they had to leave Louisiana within 30 days.
That was fine, because they had a letter of safe passage and the promise of land in Tejas, signed by President Santa Anna.
Three years later, Santa Anna suspended the constitution, and the “Mexican” citizenry revolted. Yeah, my Irish ancestors were Mexican before they were citizens of the Republic of Texas. They later were proud to become American Citizens when Texas became a state.
They immigrated legally, under invitation, and later helped overthrow the government.
Hey Illegals, overthrow your government and make Mexico a better place to live!! It worked in Texas!!
Press “2″ for Deportation.
I know more than just few men who WERE block layers and such before they got chased off by low wage whores.
Michelle is on Fox now talking about this very thing. She is showing pictures also.
L
They used to revolt on a regular basis because the Mexican ruling class does very little for the country’s poor. Militarily the last revolution ended in 1929, politically Mexico had its first peaceful transition of power in 1942. Not coincidentally, The USA had such an influx of illegals that from the twenties through the fifties that Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower all launched variations of “Operation Wetback” to remove illegals from the USA. Since the sixties, the flow of illegals from Mexico has been barely restricted if not outright encouraged. To wit: the USA gave amnesty to illegals in 1987 and several mini- amnesties since without securing our borders.
The USA is Mexico’s relief valve. For illegals it’s safer to take a low wage job or collect a welfare check than to pick up a gun. If this country ever secures our borders and cracks down on illegals, there will be another revolution in Mexico just as sure as the sun will come up tomorrow morning. For now the political elite in both countries are complicit in maintaining the status quo.
Back before Dubya left office there was a stat i found shocking about Mexico’s second largest import: American Dollars.
Now that the Greenback is nearly at parity with the Canadian dollar, has this hurt Mexico’s economy? And will the US be to blame for their econ going into the commode?
The Golden US Goose is being slaughtered and there seems to be precious little concern for the Global Santa Claus being hit in the groin.
WHat say we pull our troops out of Europe and let those d-bags fend for themselves? They seem to be using their cash windfall to subsidize burkha wearing squatters in their socialized system.
Socialism works only as long as their are fools willing to pay for it.
Let’s get the laws passed in the states that will pull the plug on President O-Hole’s giveaway programs.
Bear1909 out.
actually some do pick up a gun and use it….only here in the USA, after which they can run off and hide in Mexico until they think things cool off enough up here for them to return.
Heaven forbid they actually take up arms against the Mexican government in revolution. Mexico is their safe haven for the crimes they commit here.
Hmmm, if the American Indians got to the Americas before Europeans did, and Jews got to historic Palestine before the Arabs did, does that mean that the Aztlan cult is sympathetic toward Zionism?
Not at all!!! Sharron Angle has won every GOP county straw poll except one – and Danny and Sue have won ZERO between them! The national polls weight Las Vegas per population – 73% – but in the GOP primary, only 52% of the total votes come from Clark county! Northern and rural turn out at much higher rates, and Sharron rules rural and Reno!
Assuming Clark splits 3 ways, Sharron should win the state – she took 43% of Washoe (Reno) county straw poll, more than the next 3 combined!
If you want to help out, your timely contribution will be most welcome!!
I am her volunteer pilot (flew her to Searchlight) and now also VO for new radio ads. Very frugal campaign!! She spends wisely.
Hannity and rest of Fox love the GOP and Steele, Lowden was NV state GOP chair (who illegally closed down the GOP state convention in 2008!!), so …
But Sharron has TONS of endorsements – from all the right people.
Stay tuned!!
US Businesses Are Low Wage Junkies
US businesses have become used to paying lower labor costs due to illegal hiring.
Now the Arizona law comes along and has HR professionals saying things like this from a reputable newsletter:
I hope the ripple effect is one where business owners start checking their guts and do what is right for the overall economic future of the Country.
This same group of HR professionals are wagging tongues about other concerns, some of which make me sick. For example, harm to their brands in countries that “favor” an open US border. Name one country other than the US that allows their borders to be crashed and people allowed to work illegally on some delusional moral argument about “a better life”.
But this one took the cake:
I think it is high time to write to our Chambers of Commerce and let US business owners know that kow-towing to border crashing Mexican Nationals employment concerns should be microscopically important compared to the damage we US consumers can do if the owner(s) continue to sell the Country down the river in the name of cheap labor and fast growing consumption markets, and Democratic votes.
We have more power than we think.

The Lamestream Media would rather distort the Arizona bill passage than cover the real turd in the punchbowl:

This is off subject but this has been bothering me. The oil well that exploded and the 2 other wells that were turned off in the immediate area – does anyone know wither or not the wells that were turned off could have increased the pressure on the one well that is leaking and by turning those 2 wells back on would lesson the pressure on the one that is leaking? Just a question. Seems to me this is the case but then -
stillontheroad; I still wanna know why the oil rig burst into flames to begin with…did they ever report that?

Not a thing — I have been following it pretty close and not one word.
If:
A State Trooper in Arizona sees a car weaving on the highway; pulls the driver over; the plates on the car have expired, the driver appears to be intoxicated, and shows the trooper an expired Canadian drivers license.
Is it raaaaacist for the trooper to ask the driver for papers? Does it matter what race the driver is? As a Canadian, he could have blood from any European or Native American stock, or even come from Hong Kong. The driver could have come here 10 years ago as a student, and overstayed his welcome.
The rambling point to my example is that the action which initiates the background check was a violation of the law.
stillontheroad–besides…it’s all good.
Saw this on a friend’s facebook page:
We live in scary times.
Because the TV told them that after amnesty, they will all magically become model citizens who do no harm, break no laws, and throw in extra rainbows and unicorns because their soooo nice.
Yup. The pack of bicycles behind a restaurant almost certainly means the workers don’t have DL’s because they can’t legally get one (yet)….because they are here illegally. Be prepared to take a lot of your favorite restaurants off your list. Not sure about other states but I don’t think NJ has a restaurant in it that doesn’t hire illegals. Even the chain restaurants. Which begs the question, how do they get away with the tax dodging??????
Here’s another idea. Report restaurants that hire illegals to the IRS and your state dept of taxation. These businesses who pay illegals in cash are tax cheats. If the illegals have fraudulent or stolen ID, they need to be arrested.
I, for one, would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Tea Partiers for their extremely successful infiltration efforts on May 1st. They really made those peaceful, misunderstood youths look bad.
I have seen pictures of the trash left behind by these groups. To my knowledge, I have never seen any trash left after a tea party rally. I haven’t seen any windows broken or other crud these little darlings did.

Tea Partiers differ from the lefty crowd in one key respect: NO DADDY ISSUES
*I’m afraid not, my little Bean Bagger amigo; Three years ago, I hired an American general contractor who uses only American subcontractors, and we were well pleased with the results; I would never, I repeat, never, knowingly use the services of any illegal alien; I don’t deal with criminals!
bjc – my daughter in TX got rid of her landscaper and found a bonified U.S. citizen for half the money with one phone call. Who’d a thunk?

One of the main reasons fast food drive-thrus use pictures on their order registers. I asked one to count back the cash to me, instead of handing me a wad of money, and they couldn’t do it.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha….
I am amused by the idea that this continent was ‘stolen’ from the Mexicans. Just imagine, had the US and in particular Texas not been created….the entire northern hemisphere might be Mexcio!!!!!!!
Now wouldn’t that be nice? If Mexico is such a great place and they wish the US was still Mexico, why did they come here?
Marco, if you are still around, some more good news. Poll results just out today – there was a debate last Friday in Las Vegas, and the audience was polled. Guess who won? 595 ballots is about what Mason-Dixon and Rasmussen do state-wide of random “likely voters”. These people are representative of GOP who actually get up and vote in primaries!
Tell that to the Navajo, the Comanches, the Sioux, the Mohicans, the Algonquins, the Apaches, the Cherokees, the Hopi, the Iroquois, the Mohawk, the Seminoles…
The Aztec empire was pretty tiny compared to modern Mexico.

Aztlán is a myth.
This that we all see is the wanted result of the CFR controled government. A North American Union and Globalism at the expence of the last nation state America is the goal.
BZO, or Die!
Instead of wading the Rio Grande, they would be swimming the Atlantic.
I suppose I haven’t been paying attention. I remember when I was a kid tons of kids would work these jobs. And I know kids looking for summer jobs and can’t seem to find them. Maybe the employers would rather hire illegals on the cheap than some US citizen who he has to pay some amount of payroll taxes and insurance for.
And I have to look again, but I don’t recall ever seeing bikes at one establishment in particular in my area. Panera Bread. Maybe they actually play by the rules.
In too many cases. Employers also often want to hire reliable workers, cheap. The illegal is often more willing to work cheap out of desperate need for income than some of our citizen kids are sometimes notorius for unreliability and aren’t that desperate to work. And thanks to accomodating both illegal aliens and legal immigrants, employers hire people who can speak the home country language for the benefit of the customers, so US Citizens who really do want to work but can only read and write in english are out of luck.
