What Did Teddy Roosevelt Have to Say About Immigration?
Check out our Forum to find out.  Of course, Roosevelt was talking about LEGAL immigration.  A hundred years ago people weren't swimming across the River to get on our gravy train.  That train didn't exist.  Back then, we didn't have SSI, food stamps, Social Security for the children of "undocumented aliens" and a few dozen other welfare programs.  

The Wisdom of Andy Rooney: Being Illegal, Speaking English and Pandering for Victim Status:
I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers.
The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE ?
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.
When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability.
I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!
My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.
I think the police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.
I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.
We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.
I don't hate the rich; I don't pity the poor
I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!"
I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!
I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa ; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else And if you don't like my point of view, tough...
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to BE QUIET!!!

THE COST
OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:  FACTS & FIGURES

We have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that are bankrupting us.
Here are 14 facts with URLs for verification.
1. $11 to $22 billion goes to welfare to illegal aliens each year.
http://.tinyurl.com/zob77
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year goes to food assistance programs like food stamps, WIC and free school lunches - all for illegal aliens.
http://.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year goes to Medicaid for illegal aliens.
http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
4. $12 Billion dollars a year goes to primary and secondary school education for children here illegally - and they cannot speak a word of English!
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.0.html
5. $17 Billion dollars a year goes to education for the
American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year goes to illegal aliens for Welfare and
social services by American taxpayers.
http://premium.cnn.com/TRANSCIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.html
9. Illegal aliens cause $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed
American wages.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
10. Illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. Their children will make a huge additional crime problem in the US .
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html
11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens crossing our southern border also - and as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U.S. through our Southern border. Homeland Security Report:Â http://tinyurl.com/t9sht 
12. The National Policy Institute estimate that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion - or an average of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a 5-year period.
http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf
13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent $45 BILLION back to their countries of origin.
http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm
14. "The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex
Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants in The United States "
http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml
The total cost is a whopping us taxpayers $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR or $1130/ yr. for every man woman and child in the US.
Next time you see an Illegal Immigrant just give him or her a couple of hundred dollars more out of your wallet. That is what it will by next year at the rate they are coming into the US.
Are we THAT stupid???
I hope you forward this to every legal resident in the country, including every representative in Washington , D.C. , five times a week for as long as it takes to return rationality to our immigration policies and enforcement.
Is there anyone running for office who would make a difference?
Think about that when you vote.

******************************************

*THE METHODIST CHRUCH VS THE UNITED STATES*
Some Methodist ministers (name them) say churches must continue to shelter
illegal immigrants although they may face legal repercussions. (Of course, the Bible teaches "respect for the laws of the land as long as they don't promote immorality) The ministers spoke at a news conference in Fort Worth organized
by the United Methodist Church's immigration task force. (Isn't a chruch supposed to teach THE WORD...and not political action? Can anyone say "Reverend Wright?") More comprehensive church legislation on immigration policy is
expected during a 10-day general conference.
The ministers say the new sanctuary movement is an important act
of civil disobedience (We can't find a single Biblical reference for 'civil disobedience') that challenges laws many consider unjust. (Of course, 'many' isn't anywhere near the vast majority who consider illegal entry into this Country....contemptuous and illegal)
part of the movement, churches of various denominations nationwide
provide refuge to illegal immigrants. (Yep. A lot of folks violate our laws. Those who do so face prosecution. Why shouldn't we expect the Methodist Church and its merry band of pulpit homos proper treatment?)
The United Methodist Church allows but does not require churches
to house illegal immigrants. (Our Government oughtta help the Methodist Church...by not allowing them tax free status. Then they could really put their money where their "heart" is)
The new sanctuary movement stems from a broader movement in the
1980s after some congregations provided help to thousands of
refugees fleeing human rights violations in Central America. (Of course...illegals aren't fleeing Mexico these days.... for "human rights violations." The Methodist Church has been "downsizing" for about 30 years now. There's good reason. They demand tolerance of homosexual "life-style", same-sex marriage and general antapathy of 'Christian values". . The message from the Methodist Church's is loud and clear.)

And Yet Another Example Of Bias Newspaper Reporting For the
Anti-Fence Crowd.
From The Monitor

Fourteen U.S. congressmen publicly criticized Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff on Tuesday for his decision to bypass more than 30 laws to expedite construction of the border fence. (Excuse us....but both Houses of Congress passed the law mandating the Border Fence which in itself pretty much bypasses "30 other so'called laws"....but just for the record...we'd really like to see what "laws" they're referencing. Interesting how this newspaper report fails to detail any of those "laws". Well...I guess we'll just take their word for it, huh?) The legislators called on the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 2005 law that granted him waiver authority, setting up a potential legal battle over what critics are calling one of the most significant power grabs by the executive branch in years. (Well.... Looks like this reporter now admits there IS a "law" granting Homeland Security waiver authority. So, what's the beef, amigo?) "This waiver by the secretary of Homeland Security is a direct challenge to Congress's constitutional role," said House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie G. Thompson, D-Miss., in a written statement. "The American people entrust Congress to ensure that the laws of this land are faithfully executed - not excused - by the executive branch." (I guess Bennie G figures we've all got a constitutional right not to take off our belts and boots while passing through airline security.  Maybe Benny G would like to challenge that "law" as well) The Department of Homeland Security deems the waivers necessary to meet the congressionally mandated deadline for completing fence construction by the end of this year. Ongoing lawsuits could delay the process for years, Chertoff said while announcing he would invoke his authority last week. "Criminal activity at the border does not stop for endless debate or protracted litigation," he said at that time. Unfazed by that rhetoric (notice how biased this newspaper guy really is.  Chertoff has "rhetoric" while those in opposition to the Congressional Mandate for the construction of the Border Fence "voice genuine concerns and criticism.")  Thompson and his dissenting colleagues announced Monday that they would file a brief in support of environmental groups challenging the constitutionality of Chertoff's waivers. Their ranks include several U.S. House committee chairs and legislators whose districts won't be directly affected by the barrier, indicating that efforts to block fence construction have gained support outside the border region. South Texas U.S. Reps. Silvestre Reyes, D-El Paso, and Solomon Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, are among the congressmen who signed Monday's announcement. (It's all in the surname...hmmmm) "I do not support DHS' continued disregard for border communities," Reyes said (Hey Silvestre...do you oppose blatant "disregard for National Law" against those who enter our Country illegally? We know it's a toughy...but..just for the record). ("This recent attempt to bypass more than 20 laws and regulations to pursue an already ill-advised idea should not move forward." (20 laws? Looks like we just lost 10 of these laws somewhere since the start of this article).

SWEEPING POWER Congress granted Chertoff the power to waive "all legal requirements" and limit appeals-court oversight as part of an amendment to the 2005 Real ID Act. At the time, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service said "waivers of similar breadth do not appear to be common in federal law." So far, Chertoff has invoked that authority on six occasions - four times between 2005 and last year for projects in California and Arizona and twice more last week to facilitate remaining fence construction along the southwestern border. In each case, DHS has pledged to continue working with environmental advocacy groups to address their concerns. But two organizations - Defense of Wildlife and The Sierra Club - sued the government in October after Chertoff's congressmen's offer of support Monday could help third waiver, which allowed government contractors to begin fence construction on an Arizona wildlife refuge. (OK, so now it's a wildlife issue. Makes us wonder exactly what kind of wild life these anti-fencers are really wanting to protect.) the Real ID Act's provisions violate constitutional separation of powers by virtually eliminating court oversight and granting the executive branch power to side-step Congress and repeal federal laws. (Funny how these guys seem to have no problem with illegals ...those who violate National Law by invading across Our Border.) The Supreme Court has not yet decided whether to hear arguments in the case, but the pressure justices to consider it, said Brian Segee, staff attorney for Defense of Wildlife. In the interim, border fence construction continues. (The Border Fence is law...approved by both Houses of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, then signed by the President. That makes it pretty damn constitutional any way you look at it.) "If the case is picked up, it almost certainly won't be heard until the fall," Segee said. "There will be damage done that is hard to reverse." (Actually, most of the damage has already been done.
Illegals have been sapping our resources dry for decades)

SURVEY SUITS CONTINUE Current plans call for 370 miles of fence and 300 miles of vehicle barriers along the southern U.S. border. So far, 309 miles of fencing have been erected, varying from metal barriers to impede pedestrians to concrete posts designed to block vehicles. But from local leaders who say they were not consulted about plans to build in their areas, to landowners who claim the government failed to negotiate rights to access their property, Homeland Security has come under intense criticism for the way it has handled the fence's development stages. (In reality, most criticism comes from the vast majority of Americans who wonder why it's taking so long to build the Fence). Eight landowners in Hidalgo and Starr counties remain engaged in federal court battles to try to thwart government efforts to conduct surveys on their properties. (If border landowners can't control their property and prevent illegals from entering our Country across their land, then they're part of the problem. The Federal Government has every right to defend the integrity of our Nation and to protect our citizens).  At a hearing March 17, they argued U.S. Border Patrol agents failed to negotiate terms of access and threatened them with lawsuits if they didn't comply. But so far, U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen has ruled on only one of the cases. In a decision handed down last week, he said "the United States engaged in a bona fide effort to negotiate" and ordered Los Ebanos landowner Pamela Rivas to let surveyors on her property. (Can somebody explain...why almost all opposition to the building of the Border Fence seems to come from people with family ties to Old Mexico?) Rivas' attorney, Celestino Gallegos (Uhh...i.e. Rivas...Gallegos i.e. surnames...Oh...we comprende senior) of Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, has filed an appeal. "Their attitude is: ‘We're the government - we can do whatever we want,'" he said. "Waiving laws and not following statutes - I think it's pretty much par for the course." (Looks like guy Gallegos doesn't consider defending  the illegal invasion across our land...a violation of law. Somebody please....please tell Amigo Celestino... Congressional Law pretty much supercedes a landowner's right to host a pachunga for those swim the Rio at night.

More Examples of Media Bias From Our Agenda Driven Media

Illegal immigrants going underground as enforcement increases
James Osborne December 22, 2007 - 10:11PM
 
PROGRESO — Angela wouldn’t think twice about walking a mile up the road for a quart of milk when she first moved to one of the colonias west of Progreso three years ago. Then U.S. Border Patrol agents picked up three men from the neighborhood outside the local convenience store and deported them. Nowadays, Angela barely leaves the neighborhood, forgoing everything from grocery shopping to doctor visits. (Interesting how newspaper folk in this area never seem to have a problem finding illegals when they want to)
"We never used to see Border Patrol," Angela, a 32-year-old illegal immigrant from Matamoros, said in Spanish. "Now they drive through the neighborhood. When they come by I just stay inside the house and hope they don’t come to the door." (Ironically, the Border Patrol could remove all her fear by deporting her back to Mexico) As the U.S. government continues its crackdown on illegal immigration, those immigrants living in the Rio Grande Valley without paperwork (Without paperwork? The word is ILLEGAL!!! Save the syrup for huevos and pan dulce) are increasingly shying away from public life, social workers and Mexican officials said. They fear recent successes in getting illegal immigrants to seek healthcare and other services are being undone and pushing people back underground"We never used to see Border Patrol," Angela, a 32-year-old illegal immigrant from Matamoros, said in Spanish. "Now they drive through the neighborhood. When they come by I just stay inside the house and hope they don’t come to the door."As the U.S. government continues its crackdown on illegal immigration, those immigrants living in the Rio Grande Valley without paperworkare increasingly shying away from public life, social workers and Mexican officials said. They fear recent successes in getting illegal immigrants to seek healthcare and other services are being undone and pushing people back underground. (Fact is....illegals don't derserve one red cent of United States welfare/healthcare. Especially when they live a stone's throw from the border)
"A lot of people won’t even come to the Mexican Consulate because they think they could be detained by Border Patrol," said Luis López-Moreno, the former Mexican consul to McAllen, before leaving his post earlier this month. "We have a special arrangement (Translation...a whole lotta politicians are encouraging illegals to access health care in the United States where LEGAL citizens foot the bill), but they don’t know that. They’re scared right now." (Maybe we can scare them all the way back to Mexico)
Since 2002, the number of deportations in the United States has almost doubled, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Perhaps nowhere is that trend more evident than in the Valley. The number of fugitive illegal immigrants arrested here in 2007 was up eightfold from the previous year, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Around Progreso, which is situated right on the U.S. border with Mexico, Border Patrol agents are a regular sight. Their trucks can be spotted driving down the main street, outside the dollar store; sometimes, they even park in front of a local social services office, said Angie Camarena, associate director of Migrant Health Promotion, a nonprofit health education and advocacy agency that serves migrant and seasonal farmworkers. (Amazing how much taxpayers money these folks manage to siphon) "I see them out there at least a couple times a week," Camarena said. "Someone on staff, not me, told them there was no reason for them to be out there." (The councern is... ILLEGAL immigrtion...and National Security. Our Border Patrol has every reason to "be out there.") But local Border Patrol spokesman Oscar Saldaña said agents operate under a policy of not staking out facilities that offer aid to immigrants. (Seems to us...a place like that would be the most productive place be)
"That would be considered interior enforcement and that’s not our mission," he said. "We do have a lot more people out and about. People might think we’re doing something else, but we’re just patrolling the border."
The actual extent to which immigrants are staying away from health clinics or not setting up bank accounts is almost impossible to gauge, as the institutions involved maintain a policy of not inquiring about their clients’ immigration status. (Let 'em start inquiring! We've got a national security problem and our public resources are being sucked dry by all these wonderful, "productive" chaps)
Grace Lawson, the executive director of El Milagro Clinic in McAllen — which provides healthcare to both documented and undocumented immigrants — said she hadn’t seen a drop in patients, though. (Sounds like an excellent starting point for a research...on exactly how much money is being drained by poeple who "do the jobs that us lazy, unproductive citizens refuse to do. Why is it...everytime media hacks talk about illegals...they always refer to them as "hard working"...as if we Americans... never work hard?)
"Most of our patients are McAllen residents, not people from out in the county," Lawson said.
"The problem with colonia residents, out in the rural areas, is they don’t have transportation. They may not know the resources; they think documentation may be necessary." (It damn well oughtta be)
While getting illegal immigrants around Progreso to a doctor has never been easy, it’s a task that has become much more difficult of late, said Lourdes Flores, a social worker with Migrant Health Promotion. "They used to be out walking in the park and doing all these things, but now they’re scared. They just stay home," Flores said in Spanish. (Their home is Mexico. Our home is the United States. And all of this is in English).
One of Flores’ clients, a 25-year-old mother from Mexico named Claudia, can’t send her 8-year-old daughter to school because she hasn’t had the necessary vaccinations. A number of medical clinics in the area provide healthcare to illegal immigrants, but Claudia said she is scared Border Patrol agents might be waiting outside While getting illegal immigrants around Progreso to a doctor has never been easy, it’s a task that has become much more difficult of late, said Lourdes Flores, a social worker with Migrant Health Promotion.  One of Flores’ clients, a 25-year-old mother from Mexico named Claudia, can’t send her 8-year-old daughter to school because she hasn’t had the necessary vaccinations. A number of medical clinics in the area provide healthcare to illegal immigrants, but Claudia said she is scared Border Patrol agents might be waiting outside. (Tell her to get the shots 2 miles south...over the Rio...then encourage them to stay put.)
Asked what she would do if one of her children were to become seriously ill, she buried her face in her hand.
"I don’t want to think about it," she said. (Maybe it's time she starts thinking about it. Most of us have little sympathy for Illegals who disregard our laws and choose to live where they don't belong. The put their offspring at risk.... by being here illegally.  And they continually sap the U.S. taxpayer.)

What's the Real Cost of Having Illegals in this Country?
Next time you hear how great it is for illegals to be "doing the work that nobody else will do" check out this chart.  The cost to American taxpayers so much outweighs the miniscule amount of money "saved" by employing illegal fruit pickers and dishwashers that it's mind boggling.  You add it up.  CHECK IT OUT IN CURRENT AFFAIRS

Update:  October 1, 2007
Source:   http://www.team4news.com 

Mayor Ahumada Will File A Federal Lawsuit Against Construction of the Border Fence
Ahumada is calling a special meeting and claims a group of lawyers from North Texas will attend (how much will this cost taxpayers?) to get an injunction against the building of the Fence. (Actually, the Mayor first claimed to oppose the Fence because...well...it'd be too expensive....then he claimed it wouldn't work...then he said it would destroy the enviornment...then he claimed it would stifle economic expansion...then he opposed it because it would hurt downtown business...and then...well...Mayor Pat is really into weirs these days)  Now he claims a weir is the way to go because that would rise the water level "12 - 26 feet" (if it's beautification he wants...let him pay for it.  National Security is the problem.) and that would "make it harder for illegals to swim accross."  (He believes a Border Wall would be easy to swim across?)  "The Border Wall...by their own admission...won't really stop illegal immigration" according to Ahumada.  (Hey...didn't Pat just say that a weir would make it harder to swim across...not "that it would end"...illegal immigration.)
 
All this from a guy who has yet to utter a single word of concern about the problem of illegal immigration or National Security.  We figure Mayor Pat must have left his heart in San Francisco.....Mexico.  Que Pasa, Amigo?

Notice how the local media here never seems to ask Mayor Ahumada and other anti-Fence Mexicamericans really tough questions....like....how much money is illegal immigration costing us....or...are you concerned with National Security....the extremely high crime rate committed by illegals, or disease, etc .

**Opinion Picks from Local Newspapers. **   
We've decided to include opinion pieces from local newspapers i.e. the issue of illegal immigration and/or the Border Fence. Attached are a couple of very contrasting viewpoints. Although we won't make a habit of inserting our personal comments into an opinion piece, we just couldn't resist this time. The first column clearly speaks for itself. The second piece is that of a local "doctor" (what type of doc, nobody seems to know) and deserving of our rebuttal. Enjoy!

El Cenizo, Texas - Safe Haven for Illegals
A national disgrace.  This town not only promotes illegal residency but it has a law against picking them up.

SEE COMMENTS AND REVIEW

Mexican President Blasts U.S. Immigration Policies.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon blasted U.S. immigration policies Sunday 9/2/07 promising to redouble efforts to protect the rights (the right to be in our country illegally?) of millions of undocumented (the word is illegal) Mexicans living in the U.S. (at least he's honest about it...as he claims they're living here, not working here)...  He said "where there's a Mexican, there's Mexico.  "Mexico does not end at its border."  Well, Felipe...the United States does have borders.  Get used to it.  Someone needs to ask Felipe how illegal aliens from Guatemala, ElSalvador, Honduras...etc...are treated in Mexico.  C'mon Felipe...the Spanish word for border is...well...uhhh...Rio Grande River.  That's where our border begins.  No swimming, wading or fishing permitted.  Comprende, amigo?

And....Roma's Rally
Hey...isn't this the same place where hundreds of Mexican kids cross the border bridge each day to attend school in the U.S.? {See story at the bottom of this page)  Betty Perez, organizer and ranch manager hopes that the protest will "show what will happen to recreation events if a wall is built."  Since when is floating a raft illegally across the Rio Grande River considered a recreation event?  She also claims that 90% of the people are against the building of the fence.  This gal is watching way too much Mexican TV.  Fact is, well over 80% of Americans are damn well demanding that the fence be built.  Joel Quintanilla, Mayor of Mercedes, Texas claims that he's against the fence "because I don't believe that is the solution."  That's like saying, shooting illegals on sight would be the most effective solution, but since we can't do that...just live with it.  Salvador Vela, Mayor of Alton, Texas doesn't believe in a border wall because "illegal immigrants should be given amnesty.  Well, Mayor...what have illegals done to deserve a piece of the over-generous welfare pie that you, I and other LEGAL Americans have paid for?  He also claims that illegals are "doing the jobs that we don't want to do."  He must be referrring to the ravishing and polluting of miles upon miles of private ranchland by an endless hoard of lawless wetbacks.  Maime Rodriguez, another protester says "the people who attacked {911} didn't come across the border.  Fact is, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM "came across the border."  Somebody find out what that gal is puffing on.  No wonder she doesn't want border security.

And Yet Another "Rally"  09/08/07
"It's a protest...but it's also a fiesta thing"...(huh...a fiesta is a celebration...so what's being celebrated?)  there will be a booth with information...it'll be an educational thing," according to organizerJuan Torres.  If these Meximericans really want educational facts they oughtta check our news and comments section.  Illegal immigration is costing us a few hundred billion a year, not to mention the issue of homeland secutiry.
"It's mostly culture oriented" (what Juan means, it's Green, White and Red all over with a few 'Viva la Mexico's in-between.) "We've got a lot of support among winter Texans (funny, since no winter Texans are anywhere around here this time of year) "Why don't they build a wall on the Canadian border" asked one hispanic protestor. Well, for starts, Canada hasn't invaded the United States with millions of welfare seeking non-English speaking expectants.  "What kind of message will it send to our brothers in Mexico" asked another protester.  How but this message:  ILLEGALS...KEEP YOUR BUTT OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!  Plain enough?

And Another "Protest Against the Fence"
Calling themselves "Hands Across El Rio" (Spanish lingo here...humm) the event came to the Los Ebanos Ferry Crossing (especially funny since only a handful of cars can cross at this site) on the way to Brownsville from El Paso.  At each stop, elected officials, businessmen, activists and citizens have joined hands in a united show of opposition to the Bush adminstration and Congress (in reality, it's opposition against the vast majority of Americans who want this fence built.)  They claim the border wall is an unworkable solution to border security.  Well then, what would they suggest in lieu of the fence?  Only answer I ever get is "nothing will work."  So...the demonstration isn't really against the building of a fence at all.  This contigent of Meximericans simply want a wide open, unchecked border.  What better place to be checking ID's and green cards then at a "Hands Across El Rio" border demonstration.!
