I mentioned California and LA because the article talks about a June 24 march for “immigrant” rights in LA.
But yes, you’re right—it isn’t just a problem in the southwest any longer.
We live in a relatively rural part of Virginia and we are certainly feeling the strain of illegal immigration in different areas.
So I guess I’m.... Usual. :)
Having said all that, I will say that if California had had the cojones to deal with the problem at the outset, the rest of the country wouldn't have to deal with it now.
We did depose one Governor, Pink oops -- Gray Davis, who contributed heavily to the problem (but not for that reason) but by then it was already too late.
I don’t know why the militant and gang related illegal aliens don’t go to Mexico and sanitize their government. The fight should not be here, but their fight is there.
Why June 24th?
There is going to be a major illegal march to DEMAND legalization.
Last sentence in this article. American citizens will be outraged.
Thanks!
Mebbe not. Could be the immigration bill fiasco was a ruse to insure that the illegals would assemble and protest. The timing is pretty close, you'll have to admit.
Easy to visualize the military being called in to patrol the streets of America, if the numbers are like anything depicted by Travis' pictures here. Phase One, as anticipated and planned by the PTB.
And if the protest turn ugly, look for Phase Two. Now thinking about that might cause some to have loose bowels.
The short answer to your question is that it's always easier to tear down a civilization than to build one from the ground up.
“Sad but true.
Always follow the money..”
Why do people say Mexicans work cheap? I have to pay $11 or $12 an hour for manual labor. Why do they say illegals contribute nothing when they pay into the Social Security system with no expectation of collecting benefits? Why would anyone want one group of people’s money and be deemed worthless because of who they are, and say they are inelegible to rent living space or drive cars? People with something to sell should not have to practice government enforced discrimination. Why can’t colonial Latin countries get beyond the 5/95 economy?
Points well taken but I think this boils down to the American public demanding that the rule of law be followed regarding immigration.
Rewarding illegal behavior is something the public will never accept especially when it involves such a massive amount of people.
All of your concerns are addressed when the rule of law is followed.
Just say NO to Illegal Alien Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!
