May Day marchers call for immigration reform in downtown L.A.
Daily News Los Angeles ^ | 5/1/2013 | staff reports

Yolanda Araujo stood at the front of a crowd of marchers today in downtown Los Angeles carrying a cardboard sign bearing the words "Resident Alien" and having a large cutaway for her own face, as if the card was her own she herself was an immigrant who had received legal status.

In Spanish, Araujo declared she was marching to send a message to President Barack Obama, who has called for legislation that would allow many of the estimated 11 million immigrants who have entered the country illegally the possibility of acquiring citizenship

Making her declaration, Araujo stood in front of a crowd of marchers who carried a banner emblazoned with the message "Full Rights for Immigrants." The gathered marchers began their procession in Los Angeles shortly after 1 p.m. today, with some dancing and others chanting "Si se puede" or other phrases as the demonstration began.

"Los inmigrantes somos importante," chanted members of an LGBT group that marched with the immigration-rights activists in Los Angeles.

Widespread expectations that Congress will soon act on major immigration legislation united crowds of demonstrators who gathered here and elsewhere in support of policies that would allow millions of people who are living in the United States illegally to pursue citizenship.

The Brown Berets. Terry Anderson despised them. Talk about racists. You should have seen some of the emails he got from them.

If you cannot carry a concealed weapon legally... carry this. You will have a better chance than with over the counter pepper spray. The following product may be illegal if you live in a communist state.

I would get a cloth grocery bag, put your heels and purse in it and wear tennis shoes or hard leather shoes. Something that if you kick someone, it’ll hurt. Also there are wooden 20 inch toy baseball bats. It might be a good idea to carry one of those handy in the grocery bag where if you pulled it out, men would give you a second thought about actually touching you. But get rid of the heels immediately so you can run if you have to.

AMNESTY TWO ISSUES NEVER TOUCHED

ACTIVE FR’S IF YOU SEE ANY CREDITABLE REPORTS OF PROBLEMS AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE HAVING WHILE LIVING IN MEXICO PLEASE POST THEM.....

(1) When is the treatment of American citizens in Mexico and their rights vs US treatment of Mexicans going to be an issue when we discuss amnesty ? And two other questions US legislators should ask

Here are three questions:that has yet to appear on any US legislator’s questionaire from either chamber

ASK YOUR FEDERAL LEGISLATORS WHY THEY HAVEN’T

Issue One

!...Should Mexican citizens when in the US be given the same rights American citizens are given while in Mexico? .......BTW If an American citizen enters Mexico illegaly they are heavily fined and sometimes jailed then unceremoniously sent back

2.. The Mexican government through public statements and educational system lays claims to major portions or all to some of our southwestern states as part of the Mexican nation . Are we asking for trouble by granting their illegals an expressed path to our citizenship laying the groundwork for “squatters rights” at some future date ?

3... If it is deemed necessary to supplement the US labor force by allowing itinerant labor should the individual states make the determiniation as to the number should the offer being needed ? And should that offer not be restricted simply to Mexican nationals but to other central and south American countries as well ? Which results in lesser quotas for emigration from those countries.

Issue 2

What makes it necessary for US to subjugate our sovereignty because of available cheap labor ? While the Godless Demo-Coms socialists encourage population control and abortion . Then complain the US is not reproducing enough citizens to replace its aging retiring workforce. But rely on (as the Romans did) on foreigners (barbarians) .to keep their welfare ponzie schemes supplied with tax money and keep the system working.....

On the Mexican problem

Ever hear of reciprocal aggrements ? These are arranged to protect the rights of American citizens working or living in other countries.

Why is it when it comes to citizens of other countries we are required to offer them the same privledges as we do to US citizens? But when it comes to US citizens who get in trouble or attempt to do business in other countries they do not get the same treatment their citizens get.

Americans can’t own coast land in Mexico. And get no title to it elsewhere. If they run out of cash they’ll get unceremoniously sent back or put in jail untill some relative comes up with the “fresh”. That’s just for starters as for granting them voting privledges yea let’s give Mexican citizens that right when American citizens vote in their elections

listening to “conservative” Michael Medved go on yesterday I think he should join them (if he didn’t already) and I’ve pretty much decided not to listen to him anymore as a result. Sickening.

Don't ever listen to that RINO douchebag again. We can no longer tolerate traitors on this issue. Boycott them until they disappear.
