Ranks of anti-illegal immigrant groups swelling

LOS ANGELES - Retired utility worker Charles Warren worries his quality of life is slipping and says that illegal immigrants are to blame.

The 55-year-old retiree complains about day laborers waiting for work outside the nearby Home Depot, saying they give his neighborhood "a Third World look."

"Ten or 15 years ago, the neighborhood wasn't like this," Warren said. "The states are overpopulated, there is oversprawl, and immigration is contributing to this."

After seeing a television commercial that blamed many of California's woes on illegal immigrants, Warren immediately donated $50 to the sponsoring group, Californians for Population Stabilization.

And he's not the only one. Since the Santa Barbara-based group aired the commercials, it has collected thousands of membership applications.

Other anti-immigrant groups have watched their rolls and coffers swell, from California to New York. Most of the organizations are small affairs, started by one or two people, such as California Coalition for Immigration Reform or Save Our State.

Other groups, such as CAPS or Numbers USA, which center on population control, provide statistical data and research-oriented services.

But anti-illegal-immigrant groups say growing interest is a wider backlash against pro-immigrant street protests that swept the country last spring and frustration with federal officials whose immigration-reform bill has stalled.

Critics warn that the upsurge in activity - also being replicated among pro-immigrant groups - is evidence of a growing anti-immigrant sentiment sweeping the United States.

The danger comes when they focus attention on one ethnic group such as Mexicans, who make up about half of all illegal immigrants in the United States, she said.

So one group is a full 50 percent of the problem and we aren't supposed to focus on that? It's "dangerous" to deal in truth?

Dear Rachel Uranga (Staff Writer for Dailybulletin.com),

I see, when you want to insert your thoughts, you always mention the words ‘experts say’. Well, most experts say that you are biased, dishonest, and liar. You know, experts say it!

Thanks for the ping!

I just did a search on “Californians for Population Stabilization” (FTA)

http://www.cap-s.org/main.html

......the link brought me to Rep. Nathan Deal’s proposal to eliminate ‘anchor babies’(birthright citizenship) (HR 1940)

http://capwiz.com/caps/issues/alert/?alertid=10247066&type=CO

Now, that is a start (even though we may be in the last half of the race.) We can STILL win.

OK. Bed time. C’ya tomorrow.

[nicmarlo]

yeah, I’m long overdue for turning in myself, lol!

Sweet dreams!

That was only ONE of SEVERAL statements in the article that made no sense.

Maybe it would make more sense if I stood on my head?

Nope, that didn’t help either!

[singfreedom]

Is English this person’s “second language” or is this a “translation”? ‘Cause this is a horribly written article!

[singfreedom]

Thanks for the links. Seems like a perfectly legit organization-—unless you’re an illegal alien planning an anchor baby.

‘Nite, yorkie, sleep tite!

Listed as a hate group by Southern Poverty Law Center, CCIR counts 26,000 members who support their promise to fight "the illegal alien invasion."

All illegal immigration groups should announce they're placing the Southern Poverty Law Center on their hate group lists.

A Santa Barbara based group, aye? That makes me so very excited. I will be moving there soon and will definitely give much more then $50. There is also a large population of illegals in SB and many Latino American officials that turn a blind eye to protecting their community because of their ‘sensitivities’. Needless to say there are also plenty of white, liberal folks and brainwashed college students with the same ‘sensitivities’. Time to take ‘em on.

This makes my day. LOL. I have yet to meet and talk to a Californian liberal or conservative that subscribes to supporting these illegal yahoos. But then again, I am not hanging around the LA Mayor’s or city council’s offices or Home Depot either.

[GOP Poet]

Very good catch. None of us are anti-immigration. Uh just clarifying in case BOR (Bill O’ Reilly’s) crew is zooming our threads again to pick out hate posts.

Anti-illegal immigration. Nata. Immigration for those doing it the legitimate way with no anchors. Yeah!

Somehow I doubt the failure of McCain-Kennedy is the reason cited by anti-illegal-immigration groups.
It's one of the few glimmers of hope.

I think “frustration with federal officials and ‘sanctuary cities’ who refuse to enfore existing immigration laws” would have been far more accurate.
Just like a journalist to get it all wrong.

I think English could be her second language. Her name indicates me that she might have a Latino background, but it can Philippine, too. Here is an interview with her and a picture of hers from 1999: http://www.chipsquinn.org/voices/oneonone/oneonone.aspx?id=629
As I noticed, she is a diversity advocate. I knew something is wrong with her none the less English is my third language.

Uh-oh ... "divvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvversity."

It will be, if on their terms, the undoing of the United States of America.
