Florida Reform Groups Push for State Legislation

"[Enos] Schera's Citizens of Dade United is among a growing cohort of anti-illegal immigration groups in Florida trying different tactics to drive out undocumented immigrants. They have turned to legislators in Tallahassee for help in the wake of Washington's inability to find a solution," the Miami Herald reports. "In Haines City, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps organizes teams of Floridians to help patrol the Arizona-Mexico border for immigrants trying to sneak in. In Jupiter, Floridians for Immigration Enforcement protest outside an 'illegal immigrant hiring hall' and sometimes post videos on Youtube.com of those who come to hire workers. In Fort Myers, Citizens Against Illegal Immigration hold candlelight vigils to honor U.S. citizens killed by illegal immigrants. Now, the groups are lobbying the Florida Legislature on illegal immigration. Among measures: Require state government contractors to participate in a federal program to verify new employees' immigration status and make it a crime to harbor or transport an undocumented immigrant."

Let the states deal with illegal immigration, because our useless corporate slave politicians in Washington won`t do anything about it... They don`t want to jepordize their big business payoffs... They don`t live in the towns and neighborhoods being turned into garbage cans, they live in their gated compounds... We the citizens have to deal with the chaos, while politicians sit in their Washington bubble, pretending they know what`s really going on, and instead of doing anything, they`ll just lie, and pass off the problem to someone else, while the American citizens continue to be victimized.

SOFTWARENGINEER'S PREDICTION FOR AMERICA IN 3-5 YEARS

We can fight about overpopulation and slave labor destroying our economy until we're blue in the face; but here's some positive thoughts to think about.

It won't matter, the phoenix will rise from the ashes no matter what. Our industrial base has to return to America, we have no choice. We can start now [and it will be a lot easier, maybe just a severe recession], by rebuilding manufacturing in America, or wait for imminent bankruptcy and a likely Depression....the result is the same, we have no choice. The path there is far better if we just do it now.

The glueboard housing replacement for an American industrial base is gone. How else will we pay our interest debt bills?

Think about it.
