George W. Bush and many Republicans would like to sell American citizenship for the bargain price $3,500.00, but many illegals would prefer an even larger discount.
As US political leaders become more and more feckless with regard to the illegal immigration problems plaguing the country, illegal aliens are becoming increasingly bolder and more vocal in their demands. On Saturday, a purported 15,000-member group of illegal aliens and their leftist supporters once again took to the streets of Los Angeles.
In the past, the illegal groups had issued "or else" ultimatums to the US government, that it must pass an "illegal immigrant reform" bill. The "or else" involved the illegal immigrants refusing to work if the US did not meet their commandments. Now, however, they are demanding a blanket amnesty, with no requirement that they return to their country of origin, and no payment of fines for entering the country illegally. Instead, the illegals carried signs commanding "Amnesty Now!" With regard to the proposed fines, protestor Armando Garcia shouted: "Charging that much, Bush is going to be even more expensive than the [illegal alien smuggler] coyotes!"
Note to Mr. Garcia: other illegals and their attendant supporters ignore the fact that the costs associated with free illegal healthcare has closed and is closing multiple hospitals and emergency rooms throughout the country. Long ago, the "rights of illegals" supplanted the rights of American citizens.
The illegals and their friends are also balking at having to pay $3,500 for a three-year US work permit — a permit that is said to be renewable. As many Latino groups (including MEChA, the Mexica Movement and La Raza) teach their adherents that the United States really belongs to Mexico, illegals have been led to believe that their presence in the USA is never illegal. However, they are also being taught that all of the "European settlers" are really the interlopers. Therefore, the illegals should not only be allowed to enter the United States but, they must be given all of the resources of our country — free of charge.
As a side note, the Mexica Movement plans to deport the "illegal white squatters" back to Europe. The actual from-across-the-border illegals and their supporters refuse to even acknowledge that there is any differentiation between legal and illegal entry into the United States. As long as one is of "the race" — la raza – one should be allowed into our country, without question.
As strong indications of the growing attitude that illegal aliens should be "left alone" by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and/or any other group, long-time illegal immigrant Maria Lopez commented: "Last year, we were fighting for legalization, and this year we are fighting for legalization and against all these raids!" And illegal alien Alfredo Gonzalez added: "We need full legalization and need it now!" Immigrating illegally into the USA is now being promulgated by multiple leftist groups as a "human right," and I trust the ACLU will be the next to argue this preposterous case in court.

It is time to stand up and remove all illegal aliens (also flag them for no reentry for at least 10 years) from the country, lock down the borders, and criminally prosecute any employer using illegal alien workers. In addition we, as citizens, should file federal charges under existing laws against those harboring illegal aliens (including church members), landlords, and others.
We do not need millions eligible for earned income credits, free lunches, medicaid, food stamps, education for anchor babies and their welfare payments, and all the other “benefits” we get from importing millions of high school drop outs.
OK, let me get this straight: You can pay a certain amount of money, and voila!…you’re in the U.S.
Nothing is being said about the part where you learn the language of the land or otherwise assimilate, you just pay money and you’re in here.
Here is what will happen: IF…and the operative word is “IF”, these people get deported, they will be told to “Go about getting legalized the right way” by their deporters. Then they go back to Mexico. After they stop laughing, they simply cross the border again illegally and they are back in here.
Bush spit in our face when he said “They do the work Americans simply won’t do”. I heard Bush say this on T.V. so I’m not getting this second hand. Bush either is too ignorant to realize…or choosed to ignore facts on this matter. Who works the coal mines in West Virginia? Who picks the potatoes in Idaho? Who scrubs the toilets and waits on tables and works in nursing homes in states not populated heavily by illegal immigrants such as North and South Dakota, Alaska an so forth? Bottom line, the old “They do the work we won’t” in diproved here. (And who did all this work BEFORE the U.S. threw its border open?)
We have to evil forces at work: The right wing big-business Neocons who hate the middle-class and want to send this country back 100 years when it comes to labor laws. The second, is the multiculturalist left-wingers who are endlessly apologizing to the “Hispanic Leaders” for all the sins committed by others long before any of us were born, and for current sins committed by a few. These people are so naive that they think that if (more likely when) these Latino radical take over, that they will remember them kindly. Guess what, it ain’t gonna turn out that way. As I remember reading in the M.E.C.h.A. constitution “We will form alliances with other races to the extent that it serves our cause, then once our goals have been met, we will sever those alliances”.
The only reason the Ku Klux Klan isn’t killing people anymore is because the government clamped down on them and made them accountable for their terrorism. People don’t realize that M.E.C.h.A. and these other “Hispanic Rights” groups, have just as much hatred as the K.K.K. and unlike the K.K.K. these militant Latino groups such as M.E.C.h.A. are actually encouraged by our government (they have chapters across the country on high school and college campuses).
The other thing to remember is this: These militants who demand free migration to the U.S. should be asked this question: Why are you coming here?…is it simply because you hate the 100+ other nationalities (which they derisively call “Anglo”) or is it because those of us that you hate so much have managed to do a better job at creating a functioning infrastructure than Mexico has?
