I've been searching the Net these past weeks trying to find out just who is organizing these demonstrations. Having been on planning boards for political rallys, I just cannot buy into the idea that these demonstrations are simply popping up across the country, willy nilly calling in hundreds of thousands of protesters last minute like this.

Who is organizing these things?

+What makes you think they will care. They are not enforcing the basic problem, much less the down the road resulting broken laws. Get real, the only activism we can partake of that will do any good is ""active"" actions.

Statistics show that this third world invasion will bring the hispanic population to 38% of our total poplulation in 29 years. It is time to vote both parties out of office. Take a look at the constitution party. Spread the word.

The people organizing the rallies are professional protesters, mostly identifying themselves as anarchists but in ideology they are communists. There was a story yesterday that A.N.S.W.E.R. was behind some of it, and I did some research that I posted here. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1606894/posts

It's the commie pinkos who hate America who are behind it.

"In Los Angeles, Cardinal Roger Mahony, who has been at the forefront of the Catholic Church’s calls for activism in support of illegal immigrants, planned to lead a candlelight vigil."

I'm reminded of the Lord asking for a coin. Give to Caesar what is Caesars. Disobeying laws was not part of Jesus's teachings.

America the infiltrated

By Joseph Farah

You've got to hand it to Americans.

If ever there was a group of people more patient, more willing to turn the other cheek, more forgiving and tolerant – I just don't know who it would be.

Every day now, it seems, hundreds of thousands of ungrateful human parasites rally in American cities condemning their host country's lack of hospitality.

Think about this.

Somewhere around 20 million foreigners have entered this country illegally and stayed here – taking advantage of America's health-care system, educational system, welfare system, taxing its criminal justice system and competing for jobs with those at the very lowest of the economic ladder.

They have taken advantage of loopholes in our laws by dropping babies in this country who automatically become U.S. citizens, despite the illegal entry and presence of the parents.

They have forced Americans to spend hours a year listening to voice-mail operators give them language options. They have forced Americans to pay the cost of bilingual ballots and for Spanish translators at thousands of government agencies. The very character of our once-cohesive English-speaking country is threatened.

These invaders have made it easy for drug dealers, criminals and terrorists to hide behind the skirts of ordinary civilians.

After all this – and after U.S. officials steadfastly refuse to enforce the immigration and border security laws already on the books – amazingly, it is not Americans out in the streets protesting, it is the illegal invaders.

What is it that they are protesting?

The mere threat of action by lawmakers who have been asleep at the switch for the last 25 years. That's what has prompted this uprising by the army of illegal aliens within our midst.

I would have thought by now that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans would be rising up angry, filling the streets and protesting the destruction of their country. But that is not the case. It is the people destroying the country who are showing their strength.

And while these protesters hurl mean-spirited verbal attacks at their hosts – calling them bigots and racists and intolerant – Americans sit back and watch.

I'm afraid most Americans have been successfully fattened up for slaughter. We're just not the same people our forebears were. We're not willing to make sacrifices to preserve our freedom and independence and system of self-government. Washington knows this and has decided you are irrelevant.

As wrong as the illegal invaders are, you've got to hand it to them. They know how to push their weight around, and they are willing to march in the streets to get their way. How many Americans are willing to do that any more? How many are willing to make any sacrifice for the way of life they were given by their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents?

Brave men gave their lives for over two centuries to defend our Constitution, our independence and the right of the people to govern themselves under the rule of law. For what? So that a slow invasion over 25 years could take away everything Americans had so gallantly fought to protect?

I'm sitting here astonished today – watching the latest demonstrations in Phoenix and Dallas and Pittsburgh and all over the country. Thousands of non-Americans with nothing better to do than show their strength, wave their flags, thumb their noses at our laws and dare us to do something about it.

They are darn lucky I am not running the country. I would order mass arrests at these events, forcing every single participant to prove their legal right to be in this country or face deportation.

I keep hearing about how expensive it would be to find all of the illegals and deport them. They are making it very easy for us with these rallies. The fact that no one is even suggesting roundups shows just how far gone our country is.

"Voter registration and citizenship education initiatives are set to begin in several states after a “Day Without An Immigrant” campaign planned for May 1, an event which asks immigrants nationwide to stay home from work and school, and refrain from buying American products."

Arseholes.

How about a LIFETIME without an ILLEGAL immigrant.

Unfortnately they showed to march in my neighborhood.

Who is organizing these things?

I happen to know the person who is the POC for the local version of the demonstrations. She's a pretty busy campaign organizer for the local Democrat party, and is otherwise An Activist.

Of the two, I'd say she falls more under the category of "Liberal Activist", more than "Democrat."

I'd say that the D's are probably funding a lot of it, as a part of their "Get Bush" campaign -- a rather cynical ploy, and I don't know whether or why the unions are playing along, except perhaps as an investment.

But I think the real impetus is some fuzzy-minded notion of "civil rights." It doesn't take too many people to organize this sort of thing, so (aside from money and perhaps advice) I don't think there's a huge underlying structure to this stuff.

The Communists at International ANSWER are one of the big sponsors and promoters. If you look closely at the professionally made signs at the "rallies", you can see their logo. United for Peace & Justice, et al are all involved. The support for amnesty from these organizations is quite a boost for those that do not support amnesty. It pulled me off the fence. I imagine it would have the same effect on many other people. Spread the word and let members of Congress know about this!

in the interim you could go to your local catholic church that publicly condones lawbreaking and now tithe them in pesos.

there is no 'separation of church and state' when it comes time for uber-liberals to pimp for the church.

The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers
inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists'
abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees.
Here's an interesting new thread on new legal reform progress that finally
emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the
neighborly thing to do?
