How 'bout "MissouriForTancredo?"

Here,here!

RE Tenessee driving licenses for Illegals: Getting this law repealled or modified here has been hell ("It's to insure safety!"), but we're not giving up or going away about this.

Give 'em hell, don't give up.

I remenber the story of the corrupt license official getting burned up in her arson-fired car so she couldn't testify against the 5 illegals from NY that she gave licenses.

Illegals = Crime.

My God, that's brutal! [I just read the rest of your post]

Please write in Tancredo to send the message to the RNC why you did not vote for President Bush.

Excellent idea!

Statement: "Lawmakers debate Mexican ID cards"

Response: It is not a matter of "debate," "discussion" or "different points of view." No "Big Tent," "Room at the Table," "inclusion" or any other form of twaddle. Let troops, sweeps, buses and trains be the order of the day.

[B4Ranch]

What would you think of "volunteers"? I am quite sure we could gather up 5000 "volunteers" or so every day of the week to aid with this problem.

[citizen]

Let troops, sweeps, buses and trains be the order of the day.

Gee, pal, tell us how you really feel!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Sounds ok to me, especially if grim faced men not known to be compassionate..

[B4Ranch]

Hit and run accidents in the L.A. area are 50%+ illegal aliens, as are DUI's.

Give 'em a license to drive drunk is what they're wanting from us.

[B4Ranch]

Call the sheriff regarding qualifications for volunteers: "Sounds ok to me, especially if grim faced men not known to be compassionate.."

"When she pleaded for help one emptied his (illegally purchased) handgun into her, one round going through the unborn baby. As he did this he told the woman "Here's your help."

Puts a whole new spin on the phrase "Late-term Abortion", doesn't it? The article described these young men as "independent contractors" who happened to be "undocumented immigrants". The reporter, while typing the details of this horrible crime perpetrated by people she knew shouldn't be here, still could not help but defend them semantically. Who's sicker, the criminals or the people who defend them?

[citizen]

So the murdering Illegals were caught?

A mother and unborn baby gunned down for no reason except that these criminals were here illegally.

Bush probably knows nothing of this sad story.

That leaves many Mexicans in limbo, working -- albeit illegally -- in Washington, but unable to open a bank account, get a driver's license, or take part in other everyday transactions.

Well if they're here illegally, WHY should they be able to open a bank account OR get a driver's license OR take part in other everyday transactions?????




The change wouldn't help illegal aliens become legal, Fromhold said. Nor would it help them get welfare.

Uh huh...... I'm from the government......I'm here to help you..... LISTEN TO THIS: if it doesn't help illegals become legal, then what does it do? It gives illegals a legal ID. WHAT THE HELL is up with THAT?


A few banks, including Washington Mutual and U.S. Bank, have started accepting the cards as ID for some transactions, such as opening a savings account.


Guess I'd better check MY bank, cause if they're in on this, they just lost me!



"In some ways, you're enabling an illegal system. That's of course the dilemma," said Greg Cunningham from Catholic Charities in Spokane. "But it does give people a sense of dignity."


Illegal dignity. That's like all we need. Whatever happened to being a LEGAL citizen and being GRATEFUL to be an American? Must be just that old fashioned stuff my grandparents told me about after coming here through Ellis Island. A SENSE OF DIGNITY????? This guy is DAFFY. Dignity is having moral character and a sense of values and a willingness to follow the laws in the country in which you choose to reside. These folks are NOT about that AT ALL!




"It's better to have people drive safely and obey the laws than to drive without a license," said Carlos Maldonado, a Chicano Studies faculty member at Eastern Washington University. "These people are already here. Do we just close our eyes?


So being given an illegal ID (uh huh, you're really obeying the laws now) means you automatically become a safer driver? WHO comes up with this dribble? No, Senor Maldonado, we do NOT close our eyes. We send these folks back home and tell them they are welcome here when they enter LEGALLY!!!!!

The banks that accept the Mexican ID include: Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Key Bank, and Washington Mutual. I guess I am pulling my Wells Fargo account this week

I have started a new thread here with a form letter opposing this bill. My only goal with my new thread is to facilitate people voicing their opposition to this bill. I am hoping that you can maximize the exposure of the new thread with your massive ping list. Thanks

Drivers licenses for illegals.

Sorry but the state has already passed a bill allowing illegals to have drivers license, about 3 or 4 months ago. It was a little notice in my local newspaper. Or at least I am sure that is what it meant.

I would say it is so, mainly because I went in last week to get my drivers license renewed. There was one examiner that spoke spanish all the time, even calling out the numbers you need to get a place in line. All the Spanish speaking people went to this counter, the rest of us went to the counters that the examiner spoke English.
I would say two thirds of the people were HIspnaic, not one word of English did I hear from them, only spanish.

I asked the guy next to me how they could get a drivers license if they could not speak English, and he said 'if they cannot speak english they should not be able to get a drivers license.'

At the end of the row in front of us there was a Mexican woman who turned around and gave us a dirty look, and mouthed something, like shut up. He said I am sure if you went to Mexico they would have a separate line for the english speaking. He said they are just taking the jobs our kids use to do, and I agreeded with him. They called the Mexican gals number, she got up and charged back to where we were and said " you shut up!' He looked at her and told her to shut up and sit down. They are getting bolder by the day, demanding more every day, and one of these days, they will control the whole country. But who in the heck in our government gives a big rats a--, very few see the danger of unlimited immigration, or if they do, they ignore it, hastening the globilazion of the Americas'

I don't know why you posted this to me. I agree with you! Maybe you hit on the wrong "post reply" thing.

Drivers licenses for illegal aliens

Because we both live in Washington, and here in SkagitValley we are up to our necks in illegals. Just wanted to let you know the Governor signed the bill that allows the illegals to have drivers license.

[Porterville]

Here is the link to the Bush Immigration Proposal you really should read it before stating, "I will remember in November and will be voting for a third party. " it is just behaving slovenly. Thanks.
