Funny how the folks around here who call Bush "Jorge" let Reagan off scott-free. I haven't seen any posts criticizing him for opening the floodgates--no, we had no illegals coming through before Bush got into office.
Of course, the fact is that immigration is DOWN under Bush...but I guess we've all decided to just trust the MSM on this issue, for some bizarre reason.
And the Dems sit by, silent, waiting...
I'll be damned - Pat Buchanan got one right.
Great article. Sadly,we have gutless wonders in both parties. Either stop this illegal invasion now or bend over.
I am afraid we are teaching socialism from day care through PHD's. How many teachers have held a real job?
Their number is actually their biggest weakeness! I posted this on another blog but feel that it fits here as well.
Interestingly enough, the Bureau of Labor Statistic's (www.bls.gov) report for March 2006 showed unemployment at 4.7%, or 7 million people. That's 7,000,000 people who could be working but aren't.
The statistics being thrown around about illegal workers is 11 million, or simply put there are 11,000,000 jobs that are taken by unqualified people (all other qualification aside, except the overriding one of legal status - i.e.- first question is CAN we hire you, and NOT do we want to hire you!).
By simply enforcing the immigration laws we could wipe out unemployment in America today! By simply doing WHAT'S RIGHT, we could become a 0% unemployment country!!
But, you say, but what about the other 4 millions jobs that would have no one to do them?? What would those employers do??
Simple answer to a simple question, in fact there are two answers to that one question:
A percentage of those jobs would simply disappear if the company had to actually obey the law in their hiring practices (competitors take note, hiring of illegals is UNFAIR COMPETITION and it is your duty to your stock holders and your investors to ensure your competition is operating within the law!!).
Secondly, unemployment statistics can be a bit misleading since after you've been unemployed for a very long period of time you simply drop off the count. Yes, this is true. That also means that there are more people in need of jobs then are counted in the 7,000,000 number that the Labor Department published.
There is no reason to expect that the simple enforcement of the immigration laws would do anything but make the US stronger nationally and economically.
What American wouldn’t want that??

Illegals, if rewarded, will do it again and again...and with esclating violence.
Great piece by Pat. Right on the money except for the number of illegals already here. Pat says 12 million, but it's double that and before long we'll see riots and burned cars ala France no matter what.
Deport 'em.
Let us never cease to remind people (who we know or suspect will be voting in November) that it's the Dems who are pandering and giving full support and ecouragement of these marches all across the US.
Barack Obama-Mama ought to be run out of his office on a rail - but in socialist-illegal-and-dead-people-voting Illinois, he won't. Makes you wonder why Hillary didn't run for the sentae in Arkansas, huh? Oh, puke, now I've got them both in my brain now. Time for a purge...
NEW BUZZ WORD "BLENDED FAMILIES"
Those with US citizen children and illegal parents.
FAMILIES DO NOT GET DIVIDED.
The whole family gets deported and the US citizen may return when adult.
DON'T FORGET
Hardship visas are available if you have been in the USA for TEN YEARS. This rolling amnesty has been around for decades. It only changed in 96 when the time went from six years to 10 years.
Watch for the new talking points now that the May 1 commie day protest has busted into absolute failure.
And every one is a criminal, hence the "illegal" part.

Minn. Officials Look for Ways to Teach Immigrants What Tornado Sirens Mean
May 2, 2006
Officials in Minnesota are looking for ways to teach new immigrants what tornado sirens mean.
Mao Thao had no idea when it meant the first time she heard a tornado siren go off. The recently arrived Hmong refugee spoke no English, and she grew terrified when the loud wailing erupted.
Thao thought she was about to be arrested. She dropped her bicycle and ran all the way home. "I thought the cops were coming after me,'' she said.
As tornado season returns, emergency officials statewide are increasingly concerned that some of the state's newest residents may not know that the loud wail means seek shelter immediately.
Many immigrants have no idea what a tornado is or how deadly Minnesota storms can be.
Selena Lee of the Neighborhood House community center in St. Paul said one of her clients was killed in a thunderstorm last year in Minneapolis. He was unaware of the dangers of being outside in the storm. He left his car and died when he was struck by a falling tree branch.
Lee said the man was one of many Hmong immigrants who don't know what to do during a storm or what the sirens mean. In many cases, new immigrants speak very little English so warnings on the television or radio don't help.
In Stearns County, officials are preparing for a severe weather drill designed for the growing numbers of recent immigrants.
The drill is planned for late May at a St. Cloud-area mobile home park. It will test how management and emergency workers are able to communicate with the estimated 300 residents who don't speak English.
Bel Clare Estates has more than 800 residents and would be one of St. Cloud's most vulnerable areas if a tornado hit, said the park's general manager, Vern Larsen. He said the residents don't always use the park's shelters.
Marv Klug, Stearns County director of emergency management, said local media have been contacted to develop Spanish-language announcements for TV and radio. But different approaches may be needed with other languages, Klug said.
The Somali language, for example, has a relatively new written form, so literacy rates vary, Klug said. County officials plan to identify major contacts in an immigrant community, such as restaurant owners, to start a chain of disaster communication.
In Redwood County of southwestern Minnesota, where many Hmong work in food processing plants, officials are taking a different approach.
County officials are working on translating severe-weather brochures into Hmong, Sheriff Rick Morris said. But, he said, the most effective way to get out information is through the students who speak English and can bring that information home.
Some immigrant groups are also getting involved to help alert new residents about severe weather.
Thao, the woman who was frightened when she heard her first tornado siren, now works with Emergency & Community Health Outreach (ECHO). She has hosted several short public TV programs in Hmong. One tackled severe weather. One bit of advice she gives: Look at the colors on radar screens.
With such a vast array of cultures in the state, new immigrants and refugees can come up with unusual misinterpretations of the warning sirens.
Abdi Warsame, a Somali refugee who works at the Brian Coyle Community Center in Minneapolis, said a woman he knows thought the first tornado siren she heard was one of the great horns signaling the apocalypse.

It is my birthday on 2 May and what I told people all around me from family, friends and co workers who spend money on "cake and gifts" to instead send it either to the minutemen or to a Republican candidate who is serious about borders. The other thing is a charity of their choice. I mean after now 37 years of celebrating, I thought it was time for once in my life to give back to something worthwhile.
