On Saturday afternoon, I drove to Rockville, Md., for a large "gathering to condemn the REAL ID Act." (The act will tighten driver's license standards to prevent illegal aliens from obtaining the IDs, close asylum loopholes, and provide funding to fix a huge gap in a border fence between California and Mexico.) Casa de Maryland, a government-funded open-borders group, organized the protest on the public school athletic field at Richard Montgomery High School.
You can see the rally photos I took at my new Flickr site. Here's a sample: www.flickr.com
Several hundred "documented" and "undocumented" workers attended, demanding driver's licenses and blanket amnesty. Maryland is one of ten states that don't require applicants to prove they are citizens or legal residents. Nevertheless, militant CASA leader Gustavo Torres complained: "The MVA [Motor Vehicle Administration] has absolutely no right to ask for people's Social Security number or immigration status to get a driver's license." The illegal alien advocates led protesters in a chant demanding that the "MVA Obey The Law!"
No kidding.
A contingent of Montgomery County police officers were dispatched to the scene--not to help with immigration enforcement, but to protect the protesters, help direct traffic, and manage the parking lot for illegal aliens who (ahem!) drove to the event. Our tax dollars at work.
With Casa de Maryland organizers shouting "No license, no justice! No justice, no peace!" in the background (the only time I could understand them as they exhorted the crowd), I interviewed Montgomery County, Md., police lieutenant J.R. Hack (yeah, that's his real name). Lt. Hack amiably told me the protest was "a good thing." When I asked him why, he said "everyone should have a voice."

The illegal alien advocates led protesters in a chant demanding that the "MVA Obey The Law!"
Law breakers chanting that the government "Obey The Law!. Only the left can understand such "reasoning".
I wonder how far this POS would get if he tried that in Mexico City!
Our party better get serious about illegal immigration, or Hillary is going to do it for us.

But while doing so, suck on an ice cube so your blood doesn't boil.
Yes, Hillary may succeed in duping people into believing she is against illegal immigration. But it was her co-president who made it easier for them to get here and vote Democrat. And if she would get in power (God forbid) she would do her utmost to undermine whatever efforts we have made to thwart the invasion.
President Bush's ridiculous stance on this issue, undermines his credibility on issues of national security and the war on terrorism. I hope that it doesn't take an election upset to make Republicans sit up and take notice of how important this issue is to many Americans.
As another poser has already pointed out, Hillary will move into the void and promote immigration enforcement. Bush and the rest of the pubbies are endanger of losing significant support in 06 and the WH in 08 if they don't wake up. Yes, I know Hillary is lying, but she will peel off a significant percentage of those who voted for Bush in 2004.

The exchange with the police Lt. is rather interesting. Especially when Michael Graham showed up.
That was educational
ping
A little off topic, but, what do you do when the police, like Lt. Hack, start rounding up personal firearms from legal owners. Do you hide them?, refuse to surrender your weapons and get arrested?
Ask a policeman you know. He will most likely say he will enforce such an unconsitutional order.
That's called a police state folks.
You're spot on with this remark.And she'll do it by energizing the African American voters by reminding them who suffers when ilegals take these jobs. Hillary is a smart rutheless politician with no regard for anything but her own advancement( DUH). She'll ride illegals to a 350 electoral vote victory in states the Dems haven't won since LBJ.
Lets see 10 to 20 million illegals probably many more (their illegal you see) counting them ain't easy.. and is probably wrong.. Lets see, 20 million illegals say 1/2 of them get legit.. to vote.. Bush didn't win by 10 million votes..
Voila! Madaam PRESIDENTE'... The Coup D'Etat follows soon after that.. unless all those rich fat republicans get off their couches and waddle into a revolution... but that won't happen will it.. Would screw up the football season, might even cancel Oprah and Dr. Phil..
Nah! ain't happenin..
Hmmmm, Wonder what enrolling in Spanish lessons costs at my local City College these days.. Spanglish is too hard to pick up.. unless you know Spanish first..
No, shewon't DO it; she'll campaign on it.
Yup. A police state that represents the interests of foreign nationals, not the citizenry it supposedly derives its legitimacy from.
"No license, no peace."
Is that a threat. What are they gonna do, riot in the streets? Good, then maybe Marylanders will see what all this pandering to illegals will get them.
This Lt. hack sounds like a real wuss too. if he can't enforce the laws then he should turn his badge in.
Precisely the kind of (uninformed)voter she is trying to reach. You might want to better educate yourself on the specifics of her proposals. She isn't really opposed to what you think she is. She (double)speaks with a very forked tongue on the subject of illegal aliens.
Just a friendly FReeper Clarification: we know the leftie/bolshevik MO of getting the laws and LEOs tied in pretzel knots by any means ,...it is their old "tried and true" playbook , deception and changing things by small incremental steps UNTIL ,"OMG how did things get like this??" , the Judiciary is so very VERY important
With Casa de Maryland organizers shouting "No license, no justice!

Hack (yeah, that's his real name). Lt. Hack amiably told me the protest was "a good thing." When I asked him why, he said "everyone should have a voice."
Asked if the Department of Homeland Security had been notified of the illegal alien rally, Lt. Hack emphatically said no. "We're here to help them."
Even if they're here illegally? I asked. "We don't want to initimidate anyone," said Lt. Hack.
Shouldn't you report people to DHS if you know they are here illegally? I asked. "That's not my responsibility," he said.

ping again on this thread , What a Distracting Day , LOL!! for dads,that is,....
I understand her ability to double talk. If she were, and I understand this to be a long-shot, to unequivocally and specifically come out against illegal immigration I would seriously consider voting for her. I view illegal immigration to be that important of an issue.
"Malkin". Dang typos!
Both the RINOs and the RATs are in cahoots when it comes to illegals.
You hit the nail on the head. The Dems got the Motor Voter act passed as
a back door way to allow illegals to vote. Cutting them off from getting
drivers licences will help this problem some. The main problem though is
that many localities have very loose (or no) documentation standards. In
many cases, one just has to claim to be a citizen to be allowed to vote.
Personally, I'd get real suspicious if the person registering spoke litte or
no English. But one is not allowed to use common sense in our PC culture.
Round them up, DNA tag them, deport them, and then SEAL THE BORDERS!!!
Lt. Hack will go far in law enforcement. Hes very PC.
Heck you don't need a drivers license to run a weed wacker.
Stop the insanity!
"These "police" do not represent the majority of American citizens and are actually facilitating illegal activities."
No, but they DO represent Montgomery County, Maryland (c. 2005)PERFECTLY. Remember Chief Moose? He ran that department for years. He let the DC area vipers continue for weeks because he refused to let the profile show that the shooters might have been black, and not white rednecks. That's Montgomery County ... where Moose is considered a HERO. Enough said.
Montgomery County, Maryland is populated with government workers, glib libs, and upscale pundits. You really wouldn't want to live there.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Minutemen Patriots ~ Bump!
I have no problem with giving them amnesty. However, in order to do that the border will be shut down and they will need to:
1. Register as legal citizens
2. Hold a job that pays both social security and income payroll taxes
3. Must file income taxes
4. Be sponsored by a citizen
5. Not have any outstanding arrest warrants in the country of origin
Pretty simple
Let's settle this once and for all.
The Hildeb!tch and Billybubba Deliverance man are scumbag leftist marxists traitors. The Demoncr@p solution to illegal invasion is to let them all in and naturalize them. The B1tch may talk tough on borders but when she gets the reigns of power, she'll let them in like a flood.
With the GOP we have a sieve. With the DEMons, we have a river.
At least the Repubs are doing soemthing, even if it's not much. If you care about borders, DO NOT let a single DEM win in 06, 08 ,10 ,12, 14, 16, 18, 20 , 22...
DEMs are a hundred million times more invested in an open borders policy. If a good compromise between security and laor can be made, REpublicans will jump on it wiht both barrels. The people with the biggest open borders incentive are the DeMs NOt the 'Pubs.
"Yes, Hillary may succeed in duping people into believing she is against illegal immigration. But it was her co-president who made it easier for them to get here and vote Democrat.

"President Bush's ridiculous stance on this issue, undermines his credibility on issues of national security and the war on terrorism. I hope that it doesn't take an election upset to make Republicans sit up and take notice of how important this issue is to many Americans."
HE hasn't proposed anything concrete yet, like NCLB. That's how he works. HE wants a debate and discussion that would lead to a policy that brings consensus between those secrity and labor demands.
Personally, I don't care whether the Guest Worker Program or Israel-Palestine option is implemeted. As long as the borders are ecure, I'll be happy.
One thing that is absent in this debate is the new American work (un)ethic. All of us here grew up on the Horatio Alger/American Dream where we get success through hard wrok and dedication. With the perversion of our culture, we end up with spoiled rich boys who expect a six-figure income when they get out of college. These whiny brats will see jobs like fariming, dish washing, etc as beneath them and they want the latinos to take such jobs.
If Americans took any job offered, we wouldn't even be arguring about the invasion.
When the PResident talks about jobs Americans won't take, our first reaction is BS. But this statement is more true than we think. You or me will gladly take almost any job, because we need to succeeed and feed ourseleves (and our families, if you lucky people have one :P). But there is a large contingent of people who will not take jobs "that are meant for undocumented workers."
One key of the GWP is that Americans don't lose employment opportunities. Fine and dandy. If this plan comes along, it is up to us to make sure that every available job slot is taken by Americans. This way, illegals won't be hired. Bring up charges on employers who deliberately employ aliens before hiring a citizen. And tell the stupid louts to get off their lazy asses and get that d@mn job. You want to be a money broker? Go to a McDonalds. Some kid went into space and he got that job flipping burgers.
I would seriously question your sanity if you believe ANYTHING that lying, traitorous, Marxist, POS rugmuncher tells you.
Whjat is rule 175.2(x)?
Or that the organizing group, Casa de Maryland, is government-funded! Amazing!
Yeah Okay... so my question is what does 'No Peace' mean? Are they threatening violence if they dont get licenses? Why do they get away with threatening remarks.
here in calif, you don't even need to read or write in english to get a DL, and it does't matter if your here legaly or illegaly.
The Helen Thomas 72 Virgins Rule (please don't invoke!)
You left out:
6. Return to Country Of Origin and Request Immigration to the Unites States like all the LAWFUL immigrants do.
