GEORGIA VS. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

By Michelle Malkin   ·   April 17, 2006 08:16 PM

Northern Border Threat

Although the focus of Border issues is almost always to the south, there are also documented cases of terrorists entering the US from the Canadian border as well. The following story neglects to mention the faith of the captured suspects. This is important because if they were willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to sneak in, it's safe to say they weren't planning to perform manual labor. Also, this is another clear example of why our current border policy is hazardous to homeland security.

NO PLACE FOR RECONQUISTA

By Michelle Malkin   ·   April 20, 2006 02:53 PM

The Washington Examiner editorial page, headed up by recently departed blogging newshound Mark Tapscott, issues a challenge to President Bush: The first thing to understand about Reconquista is that while it is perhaps not the official policy of Mexico, it might as well be. Current and former top Mexican government officials and advisers, for example, along with leaders of U.S. groups like the National Council of La Raza, the League of United Latin American Citizens and the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, routinely co-host seminars of the Foundation for Solidarity of Mexico and America, according to Hector Carreon of the Aztlan Communications Network.

Boycott Losing Momentum (Updated)

The planned walkout of illegal immigrants for May 1 has lost steam according to a report by the Washington Post. Two weeks after the call for the boycott and one-day strike, a panel of immigration activists announced yesterday that they would encourage people to stay at work but to sign petitions and join protests on May 1:

  UPDATE: The Houston Chronicle reports that some immigration groups have explicitly tried to distance themselves from I-ANSWER:   UPDATE II: Welcome, Instapundit readers! Mark Tapscott, in his role as editorial page editor, weighs in on the immigration debate by calling out the reconquista movement:   Comments (26)

A.N.S.W.E.R. may be the least of the problems with this "coalition".
Don't you remember ACORN?Good summary here:

"On several occasions, they said, [Flordia] workers appear to have signed multiple voter registrations themselves using information obtained during the registration drive. "

Doing a search for all the groups involved will return a treasure trove of disturbing information.

Here's more on Nativo Lopez. Visit the audio archives here to listen to a quote from him.

A supposedly ousted group, Latino Movement USA, is run by Juan Jose Guiterrez who in the past has worked for SEIU and has worked with L.A.'s mayor Tony Villar and the Speaker of the California Assembly, Fabian Nunez.

Casa de Maryland was recently involved in a bit of a kerfluffle. According to Gustavo Torres: "We are going to target [the Minuteman Project members] in a specific way... [by taking their own pictures]... Then we are going to picket their houses, and the schools of their kids, and go to their work

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights allegedly has collaborated with the Mexican government.

Note that March's Georgia boycott was organized by a former Mexican consul general. Another organizer is a group (GALEO) whose founders include Pedro Marin and Sam Zamarripa, both Georgia legislators.

On a lighter note, here's my fake-but-accurate May 1 Immigration March and Boycott flyer.

The Logistics of Backlash

 

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=1868214 --Hundreds of Mexican police stormed a major steel plant on Thursday to force out striking workers in a violent clash that spilled onto the streets and left three workers dead.

Thank an immigrant--the drive-by media has long ago given up stating anything close to the "truth". These people are citizens of a non-United States country - that makes them ILLEGAL ALIENS when referring to them inside the United States. No other way to view it.

I'd love to- but the only ping list I keep is for the fundraiser.

Look over some of the replies on any of the immigration posts, and you'll see several members who address a whole slew of names- they have the lists.

And thanks for your interest- it's appreciated.

Starting To Get The Message

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist pens a column for today's National Review that demonstrated that GOP leadership has heard the conservative base on immigration. It falls short in several respects, but Frist's article shows that the message has finally started sinking into the stubborn heads of legislators:

   Comments (11)

BILL FRIST HAS A "GET TOUGH" COLUMN ON IMMIGRATION that more or less parallels what he said in our podcast interview. I suspect, however, that he'll have trouble delivering legislation that's equally tough.

Poll: Mexicans Say U.S. is Racist--The same poll found that 76 percent of Mexicans think that crossing into the U.S. illegally should not be a crime. 79 percent of Mexicans want illegals already in the US to be legalized.  Since when are  Mexicans a race?
