Bus Ride to Show the Cracks in Immigration
New York Times ^ | July 27, 2012 | FERNANDA SANTOS

PHOENIX — The route they will take on their cross-country trek resembles a slithering snake — up, down and around in a series of intentional detours that are equal parts political strategy and provocation. Their bus leaves from this sprawling city in the desert at sunrise on Monday, carrying 30 men and women who say they have chosen to live in the shadows no more. If all goes as planned, they will get to Charlotte, N.C., on Sept. 3, just as the Democratic National Convention is getting started. For the illegal immigrants taking the ride, it is time to make front and center a problem they feel President Obama has failed to confront.

They do blame Congress and the Republicans for stonewalling attempts at immigration reform, but as one of the riders put it, “they’re not the only ones at fault.”

These freeloaders are living in this country and freeloading off of the backs of the American taxpayers without any fear of being deported. The ICE boys are just sitting around reading comic books as directed by the Kenyan. What the hell are these freeloaders whining and crying about?

All they have to do is state that they attended high school in the USA and ICE will grant them amnesty based on o-boy and butch’s orders.

Our orders are:

If an alien says they went to high school, then let them go.

If they say they have a GED, then let them go,” said ICE agent Chris Crane, President of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council.

“Officers have been told that there is no burden for the alien to prove anything-even with the greatly relaxed policies, an alien is not required to prove that they meet any of the criteria.”

Hope some LEOs grant them their wish. Their announced departure from Phoenix at dawn would be a good time and place.

Don't you get it?

They are positioning themselves as "freedom riders" - trying to portray immigration law as discriminatory against non-whites.

In other words, having immigration laws will be declared racist - and immigration into the United States by non-whites will become on demand, with voting allowed as soon as they walk, crawl, swim or slither across the border wherever they feel like.

Invasion as a civil right....but only if you're non-white.

When will the Right get it?

Where does the tour end? In Washington where Barack Obama shakes their hands?

I just don’t understand why. All I can think is that if they don’t really believe in God, then they are too frightened to speak.

last time ,in the early 80s,busloads were brought up and they were let out in Flushing Meadows NY to enable them to jump the turnstile at willets point and get to jackson heights etc.
and they did call it the Freedom Ride.

Bottom line, I think that’s exactly why. The fear of the Lord is the cure for the fear of man.
