Latinos Rally Against Real I-D Act

Rockville (AP) - Hundreds of Latino immigrants - many of them illegal - gathered this afternoon in Rockville to protest proposed federal restrictions that would deny driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

The federal Real I-D Act is part of the bill covering the costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has been passed by the U.S. House and endorsed by the White House. Opponents say the bill will likely pass in the Senate - maybe as early as next week.

Maryland is one of ten states that don't require applicants to prove they are citizens or legal residents. Still, several immigrants spoke to the crowd of about 400 of their struggles to get driver's licenses.

Supporters of the bill say it would make it harder for terrorists to slip through security unnoticed.

Many members of crowd carried signs reading: "We're not terrorists" and "America is a country of immigrants."

The UNON BASE? I was speaking to a member of IBEW in NY. Union jobs are now 5% of all construction in NY. I asked as I saw unskilled illegals building houses in VA Poor quality and the Americans were displaced

Based on my opinion, many Union leaders see the handwriting on the wall and are feathering their nests and leaving the members out to dry. Many oriental workers are brought to work sites, especially in Queens, and locked in the project until complete. That way no knows they are illegal (in this case orientals), the Unions cannot contact the workers to organize them and things get worse. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE UNIONS ARE NOT OUT THERE DEMONSTRATING AND BLOCKING WORK SITES.

I'd go much further. It may require a consitutional amendment, but I think the apportionment of the House should only be based on the number of US citizens in a state.

America is not a country of immigrants. It is a country of descendants of immigrants. Send em all back to Mexico, our jails are full of their hard work.

>> Remember the United States has a very large ARMY under the direction of the Commander in Chief, the President the Dems love to hate. A President could seize control of the country and that has not happened in our history The "worry" over a National ID is nonsense, almost ALL Hispanic countries have a "cedula" so they will be used to the idea.

Granted a National ID goes against our CULTURE, but the illegal immigrants have forced it upon us and changed our culture. Imagine if they were in control. <<

I don't want to over-react. I'm not saying that a national ID is end of our way of life.

Nor am I worried about some sort of military dictatorship - we have the strongest most robust democracy in the world -look at some of the things we have endured. And I'm not worried about this President - the current administration has learned it's lesson about over-reaching on human rights.

What I am worried about is a kind of creeping governmental intrusion where it becomes more difficult for normal people to go from place to place without being tracked and having to justify why they want to visit a certain city. That's just not American. And it's more likely to be a Hillary responding to a "national emergency" that lets it happen.

And I don't doubt that people coming here from central America will adapt just fine - they are used to that sort of thing. I'm more worried about my Grandfather who is not used to it and my future grandchildren who I don't want to become used to it.

Do you ever have an original thought in your head or is it simply easier to flutter around the illegal immigration threads parroting your tiresome Tancredo/DeLay squawking?

They may not be terrorists, but they are lawbreakers. And yes, America is a country of LEGAL immigrants.

Wow, you came up with a total of one white guy! But I haven't heard anything about Eminem being involved in drug smuggling/dealing or doing a drive-by shooting. Have you heard anything about that, Dane the Agitator?

We are not A COUNTRY OF IMMIGRANTS, and have never been. We were a colony that became a Country. From about 1790 the majority of Americans were born here, they did not immigrate here. Or it could be said that a country founded by immigrants is different than one being INVADED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

What these Marxist are trying to do is to demean those that came here LEGALLY and equate them with ILLEGALS. Also, the immigrants of the past DID not get welfare, learned to speak the language, and gave up the culture and country they came from to become AMERICANS.

The illegal scum DO NOT what to become AMERICANS, spit on our flag, disgrace our culture, and try to find the quickest way to get welfare. They refuse to speak ENGLISH, and do no enforce the learning of it with there children. It should be considered child abuse not to teach your children ENGLISH. And not one ILLEGAL should get any benefit this country has to offer.

Somebody tell those folks that Federal Laws are enacted in Washington, DC.

AND THEY SAY THAT ILLEGLAS ARE NOT TERRORIST. This rally shows that they are not here to work, and that they will terrorize.

What laws do we get to break without any accountability? People who are criminals who just by being here are guilty of breaking federal laws and they want special treatment.
What kind of crap is that???
Do you get to break the laws that you want to ignore? Do you expect to be rewarded for being a criminal? Do you believe your rights override the laws of a foreign nation?
There are murder warrants out for 3,000 Mexican nationals that Mexico will not honor or take any action to enforce. These Illegals murdered US citizens and then fled south into Mexico. 50% of the prisoners in the jails of the southwestern states are illegals, mostly from Mexico.
The % of Hispanics on welfare and food stamps is twice the % of blacks and whites combined.
How can any rational person not think we have a problem? This criminal element is bleeding us dry. They cost the taxpayers of this country many of billions of dollars every month. If someone doesn't have the balls to fix this situation, sooner or later the citizens will. The politicians who want to stay in office are taking a new look at this situation. If you want to stay in office step up to the plate or get the hell out of the way. The citizens of this country are telling you that the problem will be fixed, one way or another, with you or without you and we don't care if you worship an elephant or an ass. Politicians, it is your constitutional responsibility to protect our borders. DO YOUR JOB!!!!!

The story behind the story here is the individuals / and /or groups who are responsible for these so called organized illegal immigration rallies.

Hint...IMO they really dont have that much to do with immmigration per se..but they are interested in promoting anything that undermines the overall long term stability and sovereignty of the US.

Im thinking ANSWER, MOVEON, any number of Soros funded splinter groups, Workers World Party, misc socialist and other Marxist groups...etc...most of which have probably quietly setup branch divisions directly within the LA RAZA / MECHA latino groups.

Would make the basis of a good investigative report IMO.
