Thunder on the Border-- (Minuteman Project)

Firsthand reports from days 5 and 6 of Minuteman Project -- The Minuteman Project takes this to a whole new level. There will be no denying that the border traffic can be stopped if there is someone there with the will to actually stop it.

After incident, man asked to leave Minuteman Project -- Thanks for the info the MSM won't report...

The Minutemen Will Make A Fool Of President Bush -- The Minuteman project is proving that the "Border Patrol" has not been doing their job - a job that has been rather limited by the "powers that be".

Sun Still Setting In The West

It appears that the nationwide strike by illegal immigrants and their supporters caused some headaches but little immediate economic impact, as outside of Denver, Chicago, and Los Angeles...However, in a story that will likely have immigration hardliners talking for days, the AP reports that twenty-five percent of the children in the Los Angeles School District failed to attend classes today. After all, LAUSD's annual budget for its 746,000 students is over $13 billion, or about $17,000 per student. If the walkout caused 25% of the students to strike, that puts the annual educational cost for illegal immigrants at around $3.25 billion -- just for Los Angeles.

You can bet that a lot of people will do precisely these kinds of calculations nationwide. How many students walked out in Chicago? In Houston? In Denver? One of the reasons why illegal immigrants existed in the shadows was to avoid this kind of exposure, but that's no longer operative.

...the spectacle of illegal immigrants demanding that Americans capitulate to their agenda only strengthens the opponents to the administration's approach. Time Magazine explains:

Rassmussen notes; a majority of respondents disapprove of immigration protestors and over two-thirds oppose full amnesty, one of the key demands. Hot Air has ongoing field reports here.

One problem I continue to have with this issue is that it's being cast as solely a controversy over amnesty. In my book, this isn't the case.

It's a national security problem.

SECURE THE BORDERS.

Once we've done that, then we can debate amnesty, immigration reform, etc. all people want.

What is clear is that they have NO RESPECT for America or Americans...

It was a great boycott if you compare a mapping of Non-Citizens against a mapping of the last two Presidential elections

Here there is almost a 1 to 1 corelation.

...the placards screaming get rid of the border won't play to well in DC.

just remember as we have been discussing the upholstery on the deck chairs for these last several weeks 30,000 more of our friends have come to say hello permanently.

KABC TalkRadio reported “there’s not a sign out there saying they want a ‘guest worker’ program — they all say they want full amnesty.”

MP3 Betrays Latino Movement USA's Juan Jose Gutierrez As Marxist

May 1, 2006 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Juan Jose Gutierrez is the director of Latino Movement USA and a member of the steering committee of the Los Angeles branch of International A.N.S.W.E.R, a hard core Marxist organization which was responsible for organizing the huge illegal alien protest in Los Angeles on March 25 and is intimately and inextricably involved in the planning and exectution of similar protests today, appropriately the traditional day to support the "International Workers of the World."

Mr. Gutierrez is being given great exposure today; he was this morning even on happy-talk-television Fox & Friends, identified only as being associated with Latino Movement USA.

We have obtained an MP3 of an address that Mr. Gutierrez made at an LA forum hosted by the Party for Socialism & Liberation [PSL] March 10, 2006:

From the PSL website - "Director, Latino Movement USA, Gutierrez was an invited guest at the inauguration of new Bolivian president Evo Morales. He discusses the huge changes happening now in Bolivia with this inauguration the first indigenous President in Latin Ameria who declared the "colonial period was over" as millions watched live on television."

L.A. FOX 11 Tony Valdez - "You killed people to take this country for yourselves"--It's no different than the palestinians at all. Before the Jews came to what is now Isreal it was a barren wasteland with no more than a half dozen itinerant goat humpers. The Israelis created a prosperous, green and growing nation out of the sand and a little water that they worked to get. Next thing you know Arabs from every neighboring country who couldn't make it where they were or weren't wanted moved in and started demanding to have a piece of the pie. Out of thin air they claimed it was really their land and they had been there first. It's not the land it's the money. The truly galling thing is our own homegrown Marxists will stand up and defend this thievery. 243 posted on 05/02/2006 1:12:28 AM EDT by TigersEye

It hasn't really even started. The 20+ million or so that have broken into our front yard are just starting to wake up and flex their muscle - they are certainly getting the attention of our sound-asleep Senators. Our only current hope is the House will not stand still for Amenesty, Shamnesty, or Shamnesty Lite this session. How could this have gone on for so many years? Now the 20+ million feel that we have "let them come in" so they deserve full bennies including citizenship. I mean come on, we "gave" them free medical, in-state tuition for college, they are allowed to drive without license or insurance, give them food stamps, etc. etc.

Illegal Immigrants Get Their Answer

The May Day protests by activists for illegal immigrants have resulted in an utterly predictable backlash, according to the Washington Post. Voters have sent bricks to their Congressional representatives as donations for a border barrier, and even those who considered themselves liberals want the government to start rounding up illegals and send them packing:

Congressional leaders in Washington have gotten bricks in the mail from a group that advocates building a border fence, states in the West and South have drawn up tough anti-immigrant laws, and ordinary citizens, such as Janis McDonald of Pennsylvania, who considers herself a liberal, are not mincing words in expressing their displeasure.

"Send them back," McDonald said. "Build a damn wall and be done with it."

International ANSWER, the prime mover behind yesterday's boycott, doesn't care for the illegals as much as they want shock troops for the revolution. Unfortunately for ANSWER, that agenda did not subtly work itself into the protests but instead erupted in Che Guevara t-shirts and demands for "one hemisphere". ANSWER tried to pass out enough American flags to cover its tracks, but the effort fell short -- and now Americans, both native-born and legally admitted, have become fed up with protests by its uninvited guests.

THE BACKLASH BEGINS

By Michelle Malkin · May 02, 2006 11:02 PM

Voters say no to pols who supported tax-subsidized illegal alien day labor center

A local election in Herndon, Va., sends a message to pro-illegal alien politicians tonight. WJLA reports: Here are the official election results. The Washington Post has more (hat tip: Allah): "They didn't like the way the debate went down, and there was the feeling that they were not heard," he said.

A lot of immigration enforcement supporters feel that way.

Comprende, Washington?

Herndon, VA Democratic Stronghold - Throws out Pro Illegal Immigration Mayor & Council

Pro-Illegal Alien Incumbents Swept Out of Office in Bellweather Election in Herndon, Virginia--This mayor who was fired by the voters had aspirations for higher office and was using his pandering to the illegal aliens as the guaranteed way to the top.
He had the backing of unions, business leaders, Latino organizations, and all the local newspapers, from the Washington Post down to the little town weeklies.
He also had the endorsements of the ruling politicians in both parties who were similarly pandering to this presumedly huge voting block (Herndon was 26% Hispanic). The only thing he missed was the wishes of a big majority of the people, who threw him and his Council buddies out on their butts.

The people have spoken.

And, every time it comes to an election, the people vote AGAINST the illegal invasion.

Will send this to my elected "representatives."

Tony Valdez: Not so fair and balanced

Yesterday at Hot Air, we linked the incredible audio of an interview by KFI'S John and Ken with Tony Valdez at the illegal alien protest in Los Angeles.

Valdez rants about 1846, invokes “manifest destiny” as a rationale for supporting the sabotage of our immigration laws, recycles the “We didn’t cross the borders” nonsense, inveighs against the war in Iraq, and exclaims:

“You took this country. You killed people in order to take this country for yourselves.”

Who is Valdez? A MecHa leader? An ANSWR radical? A La Raza official?

No.

US Gang Graffiti in Iraq

Latino gang graffiti is showing up in Iraq: Gangs claim their turf in Iraq. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

The Gangster Disciples, Latin Kings and Vice Lords were born decades ago in Chicago’s most violent neighborhoods. Now, their gang graffiti is showing up 6,400 miles away in one of the world’s most dangerous neighborhoods — Iraq.
Armored vehicles, concrete barricades and bathroom walls all have served as canvasses for their spray-painted gang art. At Camp Cedar II, about 185 miles southeast of Baghdad, a guard shack was recently defaced with “GDN” for Gangster Disciple Nation, along with the gang’s six-pointed star and the word “Chitown,” a soldier who photographed it said.
The graffiti, captured on film by an Army Reservist and provided to the Chicago Sun-Times, highlights increasing gang activity in the Army in the United States and overseas, some experts say.

You know, it takes about 3 mouse clicks to uncover the fact that theses "immigrant rights" rallies are backed by the same group (ANSWER) that's behind the antiwar protests, as well as providing one of Saddam's main defense attorneys.

If I can uncover this connection in a matter of minutes in my spare time, I'm going to assume that "journalists" working for major media outlets can do the same.

Am I the only one wondering why they aren't reporting on it? (Yes, that was a rhetorical question).

The more I think about the immigration situation the madder I get. I'm mad that I'm too busy earning a living and raising a family to go to protests and rallies, unlike all the freeloading illegals and liberals. I'm mad that my President and my party value the potential votes of a bunch of illegal, illiterate "$5 an hour chicken pluckers" over my vote. We mow our own lawn and clean our own house, thank you very much, and if I decide to hire someone to do it, I'll hire an American and pay what the job is worth. Immigration policy is being made by a tiny group of elites of both parties who can't function without their illegal nannies and gardeners, and to hell with what the rest of us think. I am not crazy enough to vote for a Democrat, but...

Just google FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas) for yourself .

From the Minutemen Blog:

Pretty good article here concerning betrayed conservatives.
Don't just read the article.
Take the time to read the comments back and forth on the right side of the column.

Legal immigrants fear backlash from another march--Certainly there will be some. And, if things get worse (especially if it ever becomes physical) there will be more. But I think overall the American people understand the difference between legal immigrants and illegal aliens

By Michelle Malkin · May 10, 2006 01:29 AM

The Customs and Border Protection agency at DHS has issued a statement, much-ballyhooed by blind Bush supporters, which calls the Inland Valley Bulletin's story on the Border Patrol/Minutemen/Mexican government "inaccurate." Let's examine the full bluster:

Allah has more on the CYA from DHS over CBP.

This White House has another burgeoning debacle on its hands. And it's not the Daily Bulletin or conservative bloggers' fault. I would highly recommend that blind Bush supporters not attack the reporter as some sort of NYTimes liberal ideologue. Those who have followed their excellent journalism over the years know that the Daily Bulletin and its reporters in the trenches have been at the forefront of border and immigration enforcement reporting.

Message to apologists: Stop blaming the messengers. It's only going to make those poll numbers you worry so much about worse.

More anti-Bush anger, this time over immigration. They're actually talking impeachment over his non-enforcement of the immigration laws.

MARK TAPSCOTT writes on why conservatives are abandoning Bush and the GOP: "Put another way, they've done pretty much what a Democratic president and Congress would have done had the election of 1994 not prompted Bill Clinton's hollow 1995 State of the Union proclamation that 'the era of Big Government is over.' . . . That is what we get with incumbents who don't have to worry about getting re-elected, thanks to all those incumbent protection measures they've passed over the years. It has produced a culture of political and legislative corruption that infects both major parties and renders Congress incapable of doing what the nation so desperately needs on critical issues."

Osama's exploits south of border --terror network in league with Mexican subversives in infiltrating the U.S. border.

Hispanic population booms in South Florida, nation, census shows-- provided we get control over our borders. If not, we will simply cease to exist as a nation.
