It’s zero hour for the DREAM Act...For two years, Barack Obama failed—or, if you prefer, refused—to nudge along a major immigration bill. The last-ditch hope is that departing Democrats, and a few Republicans, somehow band together in the lame-duck session and pass a law allowing illegal immigrants who came to the United States as minors to gain citizenship. Harry Reid promised to bring up the bill for a Senate cloture vote this week. Republicans vowed to scuttle it...
But as Chicago congressman Luis Gutiérrez prepares for a rally at a church in Brooklyn, the DREAM Act seems like the end of his interest in congressional gamesmanship rather than the start. Gutiérrez is one of several Hispanic leaders who have found themselves politically estranged from the president. Moreover, they are numbed by the legislative process that denied them a vote on immigration reform, much less a victory, when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress...“The opportunity to have gotten it done is gone.”
The DREAM Act, Gutiérrez says, is for now his final legislative maneuver. He’s finished waiting for the mythical 60th vote to materialize in the Senate. No, when the lame duck ends, Gutiérrez and his movement allies will ask for a divorce—from the Democratic Party...To hear Gutiérrez tell it, Hispanic leaders are about to stage a full-tilt campaign of direct action, like the African-American civil-rights movement of the 1960s. There will be protests, marches, sit-ins—what César Chávez might have called going rogue. The movement will operate autonomously, no longer beholden to wavering Democrats, filibustering Republicans, and—perhaps most tantalizingly—no longer beholden to Barack Obama...

You are assuming this will be total anarchy, rather than a few thousand demonstrators.
I certainly can’t predict the time frame, but we’ll be seeing the Balkinization of the US. Less that 40% of Americans are supporting every group living off government handouts.
We’re broke. You see the EU coming apart. Riots in the streets as government welfare dries up. Economic nationalism is on the rise.
I’m no whiz bang, and haven’t stated it very well, but that’s what you’ll be seeing here.
It’s a survival thing.
Based on your list, it looks like we're already there.
open borders ping

Preparations are underway for Communist-created chaos. We The People communications are under assault as an integral part of such preparations.
The Fairness Doctrine, control of food and control of the Internet “infringement” bills are absolutely necessary for a Communist takeover.
Bypassing the Congress and the court who said no to any Internet regulation is a no-brainer proof.
Where were 0b0z0 and his Communist Czars when it came to the “Infringement” on US Government property by WookieLeaks?
Pick and choose to destroy our beloved country. That’s the ticket!
Very well said, sir/Ma’am.
Revolt away! Have fun! The Golden Goose is out of eggs.
Milton Friedman was a great economist and also a purveyor of common sense: You can’t run a welfare state with open borders.
does this mean we can stage a counter counter-sit-in at Taco Bell?
Led by the highest-ranking of them all; 0b0z0!
Where I live, the counter demonstrations would have to be held in the Walmart parking lot!
Europe is finding this out, too.
Well except for LaRaza, MEChA, LULAC, the Hispanic Caucus and the hundreds of other Hispanic political, lobbying & social groups.
When the sink is overflowing, you can mop all you want, but until you shut off the faucet, you will just continue to have to mop.
Build the darn wall along the border already. Follow this up with a cut in all social services benefits to folks who cannot prove that they are in this country legally.
Stop the inflow, stop the benefits, and the people here illegally will self deport.
If they are stupid enough to try it, then it will be time to round up every protester to check and see if they are here legally.
If not send them back.
Make different laws for dealing with illegals. They are NOT protected under our Constitution. They are not citizens.
Perhaps the death penalty for any protester that is here illegally and commits any act of violence, or even a threat.
The time for tolerance has ended.
I dare them to go to an Apache reservation with those “this is stolen land” signs.
My closest call me Mema.
I totally agree ClearCase Guy!
Here's a good plan to bring up whenever you here talk among illegal aliens about Aztlan:
"The ONLY people that can say they were in AZ first are the Native Americans that were already on this side of the border. The descendants of the very few Mexican citizens that were in AZ 150 years and did not choose to go over the border back into Mexico at any point in the last 150 years can claim they were here first. The ones that stayed in Mexico have NO claim. Any illegals sneaking in now have ZERO claim. The United States won it 150 years ago. Mexico had AZ for only about 25 years and there were only around 10,000 in the SW when we won the war.
The United States was very generous when we won against Mexico. Mexico started the war. We won and could’ve taken the entire country fair and square as the spoils of war.
We charge Mexico for the land that they have now. Sell all their valuable assets, as the Soviet Union did when they took over Eastern Europe, charge Mexico for ALL the social services that we have squandered on illegal aliens including hospital visits.
Charge Mexico for all the lost wages and unemployment paid to legal Americans over the decades because the illegals took their jobs and made everyone's pay in the Estados Unidos lower by having a much too large pool of labor.
Put all the illegal aliens into Belize and Guatemala because it is a very small border to protect and pay those countries a few billion dollars out of what we make on the sale of the assets of Mexico to send every citizen of Mexico into their country since legally ALL of Mexico should, by rights, belong to the USA."

Any Communist-related chaos and anarchy in my city will last bout long enough for the Texas Rangers to arrive.
And I aint referring to the baseball team.
All these groups are funded and supported by George Soros, the Rockefellars, ADL, $PLC, etc.
*Illegal aliens are revolting!!!*
Especially when they use the park as a restroom
