Just looking around in Massachusetts, this trend is happening here, too. The blue states are starting to see this invasion as an invasion and not as the 'one cute immigrant child' the Boston Globe constantly photographs and writes about to show immigration reductionists as "racists". I gotta tell ya, I can't wait for Monday.

I'm glad more people are getting involved and not leaving immigration for somone else to solve.
We can't do that. Americans can't drop the ball on this issue, especially with the protests planned for Monday. You know they are going to influence our pea-brain officials who will point to it as another reason for their cause.
I am so proud of the Minutemen and their actions.
I don't believe for a second the comments from the
SPCL. Is that spokeswoman sure those quoted weren't talking about their organization and Morris "the Sleaze" Dees?
BTW, how's Casey Nethercott doing, you self-rigtheous, pompous a**es?

You're so right Bill, I'm here in Michigan and we are just finally beginning to see the "invasion". We do not want to become a Spanish language, Latino culture, with all it's accompanying loose law enforcement, rampant corruption, high crime, low educational achivement, etc. Things that are common in Mexico.

But it takes people time to get past the 95% nonsense in the media, especially newspapers, in their constant pandering to "immigrants" who are quite often illegal immigrants, guilty of breaking multiple laws - immigration laws, identity, income tax evasion, fake driver license, etc.

Seems like if your last name is Gomez or Gonazles, you can get away with breaking our laws. Pathetic.

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Isn't it funny how the trend is for Americans to protect America while our elected leaders (McTraitor McCain, Chapaquiddick Teddy, Specter and Should be wearin' a turbin Durbin etc) are diligently working to protect mexico?

Keep your eyes and ears open and jump down their throats at every opportunity.

Go Minutemen!

Illegal Immigration is wrong for Americans and Wrong for Legal Mexicans. But it's the employers that should be held accountable, too. We can no longer simply stand-back and watch this great country be sold or given away because those we have elected to watch our best interest can be bought for a few pieces of gold!!

Excellent comments all. Those of you that are still in doubt as to whether or not this is an invasion of unprecedented proportions orchestrated, as I see it, by the Mexican government surreptitiously encouraging their citizens to transgress American territory even to the point of audaciously providing them with helpful pamphlets.

Pamphlets instructing them how to avoid outposts and on survival techniques in the desert. After viewing the streaming video, re-view your history of the Mexican-American War and the Mexican Cession. Information which can be found at Wikipedia.com.
See the video and be afraid. Be very afraidAmerica. We are about to lose you to a foreign government and it's people whom have no particular allegiance to you.

May God bless the patriotic Americans willing to do the job that our elected officials will not do! I hope that this May 1st exercise by illegals will contribute to a backlash agains Cinco De Mayo and add to the minutemen ranks.

If I were not in Japan, serving proudly, I would join their ranks as well. I will retire in a couple of years and if we have not licked this problem by then, well, I guess my civic duty will be on the border as a minuteman.

I see that Mexico is legalizing marijuana, cocaine, heroine, ecstacy, etc:

http://us.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/americas/04/28/mexico.drugs.ap/index.html

In California: schools,jobs,hospitals,welfareoffices,parks,cityservices,----all cater to the needs of illegl aliens, to the great detriment or exclusion of American citizens who have paid taxes in California for years. It does'nt matter what state you live in, this is coming to you. "All" the Democratic politicians are cowards and panderers, and too many of the Republicans, led by the president, are also cowards and pandereres. Whatever Mexico wants from America it now gets from these cowards. If Tom Tancredo runs for president ,and you are a person claiming to love America and the rule of law, but will not vote for him, then you are a LIAR.

I've gritted my teeth, held my voice long enough!I was upset, angry that our American Flag was held upside down at the last immigration rally....Now there's a spanish verision of our National Anthem..........enough is enough!! No other country would stand for something so absurd. Our anthem should be sung in English, and every legal immigrant needs to know it and sing it in English only. I do not believe that 65% of americans don't know the words. Yes it's difficult to sing because of the high notes, but sing it we do...ENGLISH ONLY!
I am tired of seeing day laborers outside local home depots, or being referred to as "gringo".l
We are becoming a third world country with the level of illegals entering. I guess it's too late to take some action against the upcoming rally on Monday, but we need to COUNTER WHAT THE RALLY INTENDS TO DISRUPT, whether its picking beans in a field for a day, or not eating out, or buying produce, whatever it takes. Hopefully there are some other actions to counter this illegal immigration revolution.
Sincerely, Geraldine

It would appear that an Amnesty(Guest Worker) provision for illegal immigrants now in the U.S.A.will be passed by traitorous United States Senators(e.g. Spectre, McTraitor, Deep Water Ted). This provision now goes to a Senate/House group for conference and revision---and---Dennis Hastert is about to "stack the deck" for the House portion of the group with Representatives who favor illegal immigrant Mexican slaves to take jobs away from legal American workers and with Representatives who want U.S. unions to swell their ranks with docile,destitute illegal immigrant Mexicans. Also called union power/aggrandizement.

Some members of the U.S. Congress and Executive Branch have abandoned the American people. These members appear not to realize the lasting enviornmental damage and the civil strife on the horizon with their plan to encumber the U.S.A. with thirty million more Mexican invaders

With twelve million illegal Mexican immigrants in the U.S.A. now, we see mobs of these invaders coursing through our streets carrying their Mexican flags--violent--demanding--obstructing!!!They have broken the immigration laws of the U.S.A. to come here, and they are now blackmailing us to stay here.

We have sent a pack of traitors to the U.S. Congress and Executive Branch. They are handing the American people over to the Bohemian Grove(et al) predators---who really NOW run the U.S.A..

Good luck America!!! YOU ARE NOW ABOUT TO BECOME ONE BIG GARBAGE PIT BARRIO.

Everyone remember to do what they can to support America on Monday...work, shop, eat at a restaurant you know only hires legally...carry your flag, wear, red, white and blue...I will be standing on a street corner with my signs of thanks for our working men and women...

We need to send a message that the economy won't collapse because 5% of the workforce has decided to take the day off...I hope all business owners will write to their trade associations condemning those who hire illegally and anyone who has proof of illegal hiring should access the wehirealiens website and report it...

Thank you and may God Bless the United States of America.

I THINK ITS ASHAME THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY HAVE THE NERVE TO THINK THAT AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OWE THEM A LIVING AS WELL AS CITIZENSHIP. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO MARCH IN OUR STREETS. BUT THEY MARCH ANYWAY.ON MONDAY MAY1ST. ALL LEGAL AMERICANS SHOULD BOYCOTT THE MEXICAN ESTABLISHMENTS AND EVERY OTHER DAY AFTER THAT. ie MEXICAN RESTUARANTS AND ANY OTHER STORES THEY STORES THEY OWN. THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO SKIN A CAT.WE AS AMERICANS HAVE GOT TO DO AS THEY DO. AND THAT IS TO STICK TOGETHER. AND MAYBE WE SHOULD RECORD THEIR NATIONAL ANTHEM IN ENGLISH. SHOW THEM, YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE! ITS ASHAME THAT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE NOT LISTENING TO US THE LEGAL CITIZENS OF AMERICA. H.C.W.

Just a thought, as all these illegals come in to supposedly to pick all our crops (jobs americans wont do,lmao) how about our prison system. Put the criminals out in the fields. God knows our jails and prisons are overloaded. Have them pick the crops or dig the ditches. Or would that be considered "cruel and unusual punishment" by all the liberals? That should have be done long ago and we wouldnt have the problems now. Ronald Reagan gave his amnesty in 86 just for the crop pickers, but once they got their green cards they quit to get a better job and then more illegals come in to replace them. Dont forget, when he legalized just 1 person, that meant that they could petition for their spouse, kids, parents..so if you legalize 1 your actually bringing in 10. So if this new amnesty goes through with 12 million, you bet all their family members are going to come in totalling more than 50 million, GOOD BYE AMERICA. Well its more than half way gone to being 3rd world anyway. And what does washington know about immigration anyway. You cant see how the border is from a window at the white house. You can bet all our congressmen and senators' children dont have to go to a school where half the day is spent in spanish. I found that out with my own son. Went to school one day to see his class and how he was doing, Found out all he did for 3 and a half hours was sit by himself playing with toys because the teacher was to busy speaking spanish to all the other students. Yes i pulled him out immediately and had to go almost bankrupt to get him into a private school that i made sure spoke only ENGLISH. My wife couldnt even get a job because she wasnt bilingual. And this is in america. Well El Paso at the time which might as well be annexed to juarez, mexico. That was 15 years ago,lol

On another note, it saddens me to see our own president call some good americans who want to protect our borders "vigilantes" El Presidente Jorge Bush has sold america out to a bunch of 3rd world whiners. Say good bye to social security, english, steak and potatos, father knows best, apple pie, and most of all "ole glory" who so many americans died for. I bet all true americans in Arlington cemetary are rolling over in their graves saying " I DIED FOR THIS"

Just wanted to say a few things and hope someone agrees with me. By the way, i work for the border patrol, for the past 20 years and you cant do your job when your hands are tied or your told by your superiors not to do anything.

It is time to join the minutemen, to protect our country from the terrorist , yes terrorist for when a foreign enter our country illegaly and boycott our economy is sending us a loud and clear message give me, what, I want, or else your economy will be our hostage. I would also would like to point out that putting our flag upside down is a disrespectful act on their behalf, also changing our athem to spañish language is the most stupid act from them . Let send a message to these terrorist, our nation will never deal with terrorist , and this country is one nation under god , and not two nations ,so if you want to join our nation , you must do it the right way . Stop your illogical acts of creating chaos and go home, to the land that they love so much, for they display it flag ,and translate athem to their language . If they really want to belong to us they must enter legally to our country and have their legion to our nation and to assimilate to our culture. Their terrorist act of May 1 should not be pardon by our Goverment, for if they bend to these terrorist act , it will continue in the near future, and it will never stop . The fear of our President of fighting the terrorist in our land ,it has become true and May 1 it the begining of it . It must end now!!! Deportations is the only solutions for the illegals aliens and for the socialist and communist in our Goverment in Sacramento . We must start a ballot to redistrict our cities,and start sending people ,who it is worth to be our representative and protect our country and state..We must not fall victims of these terrorist , We must fight back,and if joining the minutemen is the solution for a better and secure nations . We must act now, for the terrorist are gaining ground and our nation is falling apart today. Remember ONE NATION UNDER GOD !! ONE NATION... AMERICA FOR AMERICANS

I joined weeks ago and sent donation,though modest it all helps. Looking for MD Chapter.
We can all do something,it's our Country!

Pro Patria!

I also would like to see a boycott on the illegals..by refusing to buy from companies who know they are hiring illegal, just to save a buck! I am outraged that our officals are sitting silent today while criminals are out in our street, demanding rights reserved for the law abiding citizens!! We also should demand an honest report of how much of our taxpayer's money is being handed out to the illegals through Social Services, etc. I think that most of us will be shocked and outraged!

Way to go Minutemen! I am very proud to see a group doing great things. The immigration crisis is a very serious issue. They take our jobs, come into our country and tell us how to live while we pay for them to be here. Something definitely needs to be done. If all true Americans got involved and more Americans voiced their opinions, something more might done and the ears in Washington would have to do something. After all, we pay taxes and the taxpayers should rule, not illegal immigrants. They take and take, but want the rights they don't deserve. If you pay taxes in this country, then we must fight to take back what illegal immigrants are taking from us. God Bless you All.

In stead of pardoning these blatant criminals, our so-called government should have used this day of illegal protest to round up all these law breakers and send them back to where they came from at their countries expense.
We didn't ask them to come over here and I for one don't want them to stay. Besides, if they would just go home all of our jobs will be down there soon enough. Does any one see a patern here?
I think we who have the "LEGAL RIGHT" to be here should take our own day off in protest of our own government selling us out.
WHEN WILL WE STAND UP AND TELL THE CROOKS IN OFFICE THAT WE AREN"T GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE? LET'S FIRE THEM ALL "STARTING AT THE TOP" AND PUT PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE "AMERICAN" PEOPLE IN THIER PLACE!!!
If these criminals think what thier doing is going to make a difference, just think what would happen if we who have the right to be here took the day off. It wouldn't just effect the USA but the whole world, think about it.

MINUTEMEN SUCK!

This is a great day for everyone to be a Minuteman by calling your favorite restaurant and asking if they are open for business. Their answer will be very revealing.

If they're closed then Americans need not eat there? I called my two favorite restaurants and asked if they were open for lunch and thankfully they were. Otherwise I was ready to find a new place to eat.

Have a great day WITHOUT ILLEGALS everybody!!!!

Let's call it Minuteman Day!

Woo Hoo!!!

Hooray for the brave, honorable Minutemen. You Minutemen are heroes defending us against illegal-alien criminals crossing our borders illegally to bankrupt our country and destroy our country.

I am so sick of reading about innocent citizens and legal residents and even American cops being raped, murdered and viciously attacked by illegal alien CRIMINALS who should not be here in the first place because these criminals have no right to be here, and we Americans did not invite these criminals here and we Americans don't want these criminals here and these criminals are not welcome here. We Americans want these illegal-alien CRIMINALS GONE!!! OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, illegal-alien criminals and DON'T COME BACK EVER!!!

We Americans are tired of having our taxes raised to suport illegal-alien blood-sucking leeches. We want all the illegal aliens deported from OUR country!!! We want them GONE!!! OUT OF THE U.S.A.!!! It is OUR country NOT theirs!!!

We are tired of our tax dollars supporting these blood-sucking leeches. We are tired of paying for their welfare, food stamps, free medical care, subsidized housing, SSI and other free benefits that they never paid a penny into and which they have ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO and which are ONLY for U.S. citizens and LEGAL residents. Many legal residents deeply resent these illegal aliens who come over here and live the high life for years and then have the sheer gall to demand driver licenses, green cards and other privileges and rights of U.S. citizens while the legal immigrants are doing all their immigrating legally and in some cases have to wait many years to get over here and then they find out that the illegal aliens cut in line ahead of them and demand green cards and driver licenses. Also illegal aliens are bringing all sorts of diseases with them when they cross the border illegally; diseases that were eradicated 50 years ago and are just now reappearing or else diseases common to Mexico, Central and South America but which have never before been seen here in the U.S. are now becoming increasingly common. These illegal aliens need to be deported and kept out permanently.

We American taxpayers are tired of being raped, murdered, robbed, and viciously attacked by many-times-deported illegal aliens. For example, the 17-times-deported illegal alien from Mexico who illegally re-entered the U.S. the 18th time and drove drunk in North Carolina and killed an innocent person or the 2-times-deported illegal alien criminal who illegally re-entered the U.S. the 3rd time and had stolen an American job at $44,000+ a year and had illegally obtained a mortgage and bought a house for $120,000+ and was charged in North Carolina with being a serial rapist who raped 8 women and they say he also raped a 9th woman. Also the many American cops murdered by many-times-deported illegal aliens especially the ones from Mexico. Also there have been reports of Border Patrol Agents who have been viciously attacked by illegal aliens from Mexico at the border and I have even heard that some innocent Border Patrol Agents have even been murdered.

These crooked politicians in Congress had better remember who put them in their position and office. The American people, not the illegal aliens who need to be deported.

I just have one thing to say:

ENGLISH ONLY!!!

DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS NOW AND REVOKE THE PHONY U.S. CITIZENSHIP OF THEIR ANCHOR BABIES AND DEPORT THE ANCHOR BABIES ALONG WITH THEIR ILLEGAL ALIEN FAMILIES!!!

I cross boarder, poor and broke.
Take bus to see employment folk.
Nice man, treat me good in there,
Say I need to see Welfare.

Welfare say, “You come no more…
We send cash right to your door!”
Welfare checks, they make you wealthy,
Medicaid keep family healthy!

By and by, got plenty money,
Thanks to you, TAXPAYER dummy!
Write to friends in motherland,
Tell them, “come, fast as you can!”

They come in turbans and ford trucks.
I buy big house with welfare bucks!
They come here, we live together…
More welfare checks…it just gets better!

Fourteen families, moving in,
But neighbor’s patience wearing thin.
Finally white guy moves away,
I buy his house, and then I say,

“Find more aliens for house to rent!”
In my yard, I put a tent.
Send for family…they just trash,
But they too, draw welfare cash!

Everything is very good,
Soon we own whole neighborhood!
We have hobby…it called breeding
Welfare pay for baby feeding!

Kids need dentist? Wife need pills?
We get them free! We got no bills!
TAXPAYER crazy! He pay all year…
To keep the welfare running here.

Their government…can’t find much dumber
Good for us, for them a bummer!
We can tell them give us stuff
And then we say it not enough

This country here, give all we need
Their poor they have it worse than we
We get doctors, food and more
For them it’s stuff they can’t afford.

We think AMERICA darn good place!
Too darn good for white man race!
If they no like us, they can scram…
Got lots of room in Pakistan!

THE MINUTEMEN AND WOMEN ARE REAL PATRIOTS

I went to the Minuteman website and was amazed at their candor, carefulness and patriotism. These wonderful men and women are from all races and genders, as they emphasize peaceful and legal public contact always, or they throw you out.

Say a prayer for them and donate time and money to them too, its definitely a worthwhile cause.

Let's start an Independent Party, make Lou Dobs President and the President of the Minutemen, vice president. They's have my vote!

More people - legal or illegal - means, over time, more traffic congestion, higher gas prices, more garbage in landfills, less gov't services, higher taxes, greater dependence on imported food, greater development of natural land, higher land prices, and housing prices beyond the reach of most Americans. America is being exploited by the elite ruling class. Think your taxes are high and that land values are expensive, wait a few years....it's going to get a hell of a lot worse.

When did it become socially acceptable for a business owner to stand on a podium and declare how proud he is that he only pays minimum wage and will do everything he can to keep it that way? It amazes me how corporate greed is now something people actually brag about. Businesses never pass on cheap labor to consumers, and even if they did I don't care. I'd rather pay more if it meant workers legally here would get a decent wage. These people then stand up and say how horrible it is that the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer.

Stopping all immigration would make our society such a better place. More resources for me and you. Why would it ever be better to have more people? Society would be so much better with less people. Everyone admits that we have a good thing here, but no one can recognize that no one will have a good thing if we give it to everyone.

Anyway, our nations greedy elite has sacrificed America in so many ways.....our entire nation will soon be one dirty congested, polluted wasteland embroiled in civil war between the minority ruling class (educated upper/middle class) and a majority peasantry class (unskilled immigrants/illegal aliens)- like almost every south and central American country.

They may wave flags now, but in 20 years, when their population has tripled or quadrupled, believe me, they won’t just be waving flags. How long do people think they will really be satisfied cleaning toilets for $5 an hour. Pretty damn soon they will demand more, and if they don’t get it: civil war and the end of America as we know it. Just remember: diversity only breeds intolerance and hate – not the other way around. If you think diversity is a wonderful thing, look at all the turmoil found in any diverse nation anywhere in the world.

HOW THE UNITE 93 HERO'S TAUGHT US TO HANDLE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:
When they realized that the highjackers had no intention of returning the passengers but instead to use them to their death, these American Hero's said, "NO!". They gathered together, made a group decision, and then brought the terrorists down!! These illegal aliens have no intention of returning our country, but instead will use it up and destroy all that is AMERICAN- our values of respecting the law, our language, our culture, our National Anthem, etc, etc. until it is Mexico.

For 10-15 years we have allowed this to go on, to allow employers to rip off American Citizens their decent wage. We have allowed illegals to make lots of money, get all our healthcare, education, welfare, etc. And what do we get in return? A brazen mob demanding legalization and threatening to bring us to our knees if we don't. They are threatening and terrorising us. Can anyone see the pattern? Does that sound like the 911 Terrorists? Citizenship is a PRIVILEGE, Not A Right! How dare they DEMAND anything from our country?

We must rise up, make our plan quickly, and take back this country. We will not be overcome by indignant illegals who care nothing of our beloved nation. I for one, will contribute $100 to the FAMR today and every month. I will contact my representatives locally and nationally.

All Those of Legal Status Must Unite Now....Just Like those on United 93!

I pray to God that come November the Taxpaying American Citizens remember what lawmakers in Washington have sided with the illegal aliens. These elected officials are "TONE DEAF" and it's time they are all voted out of office. They just don't get it!

Harrass the Employers by going to work sites taking pictures of Illegals,theres no Law against watching the Rat Employers that I know of. A Digital camera & cell phone should be tools of the trade,OH! + a Minutemen Shirt or Hat is cool. If you want to work covert find place to observe and take photos. The Employers will get little sympathy except from Rat Politicians and corrupt Govt. Officials.

Pro Patria!

The solution to the border problem is quite simple. First, the mass migration of Mexicans across our border is, in fact, a non-violent invasion under the auspices of the Mexican Government. Hence, the solution is simple and yet eloquent and has three prongs:
1) Declare war on Mexico.
2) Place the army, marines, etc., at the border with orders to "shoot-to-kill".
3) Round up all illegal aliens and place them in a "prisoner of war" camp; allow repatriation to Mexico.
QED
PS
If there are further problems, invade Mexico and capture the oil fields.

This is another example where immigration reform fits perfectly into things associated with left-wing politics, e.g., vegetarian diets and environmental preservation. I already eat a lot of organic foods from local farms and continue to eat less meat. On Monday, I'll eat no meat at all.

I am on board with this one! But I need help now!
I am asking all FAIR members to post the following on their favorite message groups, on Craigslist in their area...other free web ads...anywhere that it can be posted...
www.craigslist.org

WANTED: PROUD AMERICANS NEEDED TO STAND UP FOR THEIR COUNTRY!

On Monday, May 1st, Pro-illegal and amnesty advocates will once again take to the streets demanding legalization and amnesty. They expect this country to accept their blatent disregard for our laws and their massive use of false documentation as a sign that they truly want to be Americans. Congress is leaning toward not only granting them amnesty but increasing the numbers of legal worker visas to more than 450,000...that's 450,000 jobs that Americans won't see! And it's not all fruit pickers and farm workers...it will include high tech, nursing and practically every other job description available! When will it all end? Only when the American citizens demand Congress secure our borders and enforce our laws!
That's why we are asking all Americans to stand up for the working men and women of this country! On Monday, please, go to work; please eat out at your local Mom and Pop diner or other "American" restaurant; please shop in American friendly stores, that don't exploit cheap labor, buy American goods and do your grocery shopping that day, don't eat meat, in protest of companies like Cargill, Tyson, Seaboard Foods and Hormel, that use cheap and often illegal labor and are giving their employees the day off to participate in amnesty protests...Please, wear Red, White and Blue and if you have the opportunity, let your voice be heard...carry an American flag, carry signs, GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN CITIZEN WORKER...THOSE WHO FAIL TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ARE EITHER EXPLOITING IT OR PROFITING FROM IT...NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER, NO AMNESTY...

Remember, Congress has the power to protect America, its citizens and its future...we don't want to see more stories like this:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12512729/

You don't think it could possibly have anything to do with this?

http://www.cis.org/articles/2006/back206.html

or this?

http://www.cis.org/articles/2006/laborforcetranscript...

On this day in immigration history:
Apr 27, 1982 - INS's Project Jobs apprehends 5,440 illegal alien workers, freeing up jobs for unemployed citizens and legal aliens. The average wage was $4.81, well above the 1982 minimum wage of $3.35. The INS estimated the jobs paid $50.3 million a year. Most of those detained were released after promising to return to their native countries.

The 1986 Amnesty didn't work because there was no enforcement and no border security and we only had to deal with 2-3 million illegals back then...estimates now are that we have more than 15 million living and working in this country. Tell Congress to stop this farce and protect our country! Please!

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Let it rot in the stores for a week. That’ll teach em which side their bread is buttered on.

Bush is in bed with chickens.

takn, thank you for the information here and for all of your postings.

After moving from Philadelphia to rural Iowa a few years ago, I learned a lot about how farm animals are raised for companies like Hormel and Tyson. It is disgusting in every aspect, so my husband and I have been avoiding meat from such companies for several years. We're fortunate to have a couple of small farmers nearby who raise their beef, hogs, and chickens in the old-fashioned way, which is much more humane as well as healthier for the environment and the consumers.

Illegal aliens are increasingly moving into small rural towns (where legal citizens have trouble finding work that pays a living wage). They come to work in meatpacking plants or in the "factory farms" where the poor hogs and chickens are raised. The animals are crammed into small spaces where they can barely move; they live on cement floors or wooden slats, so they can't satisfy their instinctual need to root or scratch the earth; they never breathe fresh air or feel sunshine (until they are trucked away to the meatpacking plants). The animals are given antibiotics to prevent diseases that would kill many of them living in those conditions. The animal waste goes into pits below the buildings and festers there for up to 6 months, at which time it is pumped out and spread onto crops throughout the countryside.

According to a report by the University of Iowa, 25 to 75% of antibiotics given to factory farm animals passes unchanged into manure waste and may contaminate soil and water, and contributes to "increasing bacterial resistance, which is transmitted to humans typically, but not only, via contaminated food."

Until the meatpacking companies busted the unions and hired illegal aliens in the early 1980s, they had a workforce of legal US citizens who were willing to work at those dangerous, difficult jobs for fair wages. Apparently, there were waiting lists of local citizens who wanted to work at packing plants. Now, the pay is much lower and work-related injuries are much higher.

Hopefully, "Meatless Monday" can be expanded by a lot of us to a longer boycott of meat from the large companies. That includes meat from fast-food restaurants and national brands of frozen food. There are brands of beef and chicken at stores like "Whole Foods" that are good alternatives. They are more expensive, but it might be worth it to eat less meat in order to afford the healthier brands -- at least until the meatpacking companies stop hiring illegal aliens and start paying a living wage again.

I have a few diabolical thoughts when it comes to this emerging economic pissing contest.

1. Shift your shopping to Monday May 1st. I plan to get my car worked on, buy some new tires, fill my tank and get a haircut too. I won’t be buying any food.

2. Since Mexico is promoting May 1st as “Nothing Gringo Day”, where they will boycott all American goods and services, we should have May 5th as “Everything Gringo Day/Week?”, where we buy nothing BUT American goods and services. Let their produce rot.

3. The banking industry is up to their eyeballs in this conspiracy. Wait until Tuesday May 2nd and draw your bank accounts down to their minimum balance. Go back the next day and put it all back. This will send an economic pulse through their system that will rattle their walls.

4. Everybody flush all of their toilets on the hour, every hour on May 5th. The pulses in water pressure will be easily readable at the pumping stations. We could call it the Cess Poll…. Oh shut up Gail.

Anyway, you get the idea. Anybody have any other suggestions? This is gonna be fun.

Tyson, Hormel, Cargill. Easy to remember. Opps, I forgot Seaboard. These are big companies,and you know, meat isn't good for you anyway. People should really cut down. As far as these companies go I'm not just cutting down, I'm cutting them out.

Cargill Meat Solutions credo:
Being responsive to customer needs.
Creating demand for our products.

Seems like Cargill's support of illegal aliens is going against their credo. Let's help Cargill Meat Solutions everyday by avoiding their products:

Angus Pride beef
Excel meats
HoneySuckle White turkey products
Prairie Grove Farms pork
Shady Brook Farms
Sterling Silver beef and pork

"At the end of the day, all of us at Cargill Meat Solutions ask ourselves the same question: Would I take this meat home to my family? The test is simple. The standard is strict. The answer is yes."

I hope they have to take it ALL home to keep it from rotting.

I have a few thoughts on the savage beating of the Latino youth in Texas. He was kicked with steel toed boots and sodomized with a 2 inch thick piece of pipe. He was left unconscious for 10 hours. Right now his chances of survival are about 50/50.

1. It was an appalling crime and the perpetrators should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There is no honor in this.

2. It was not unexpected. I have been saying for weeks that this was going to get out of control. The high schools are right on the front lines of the Reconquista. American students are mixed cheek by jowl with illegal alien gangs and competition for resources. With the walkouts and flag tension there is a lot of bad feeling. There will likely be retaliation. Bummer!

3. The general bad feeling against the illegal aliens will be directed towards the Hispanic community in general. The pendulum never stops in the middle. Bummer!

I hope he makes it!

I think it is time to take these companies who support the illegals to be taken to court for discriminations to Americans. Second our Goverment Agency ICE should start cracking down on them for harboring the illegals, and also their bank accounts, should be frozen to pay for the return (deportation )of the illegals to their home land, and every employer put in jail for conspiring to destroy the economy of our nation, and also to destroy the American Dream by bring these illegals to their companies.... AMERICANS JOBS, SHOULD BE FIRST FOR AMERICANS .....

Only one day without meat? Our democrat and republican congressmen and women have had no meat for the last year. When they look down, what do they see? No meat, just a shamed, bought, politician. They approved a day for illegal aliens to protest our laws and sing the star spangled banner in Mexican? What would our founding fathers say? Why the hell did they even have to vote on it? It just shows the American people that we have no representation, that the illegals have already bought and paid for politicians that vote any way they tell them to. It is our own fault, to let people with money win political seats, instead of poor people with brains and morals. I'm suprised they are not all wearing Mexican flag lapel pins. Our next government will be one made up of the people that have to live and work next to illegals, of course there won't be any illegals at that time. In less than 5 years there will be a civil war. These companies that hire illegal labor will be run by the first one to take a gun to the top of the stairs and blow the CEO away. What makes these rich white boys think thousands of Mexicans will do what they say?

Gail,
I was equally appalled by the attack...and the declaration by the KKK and neo-nazi's to "declare open season on immigrants"...

No one should advocate violence against anyone and doing so will only strengthen their cause!

Here are some lovely pictures and informational links to the "hard working" people's movement...
I hope everyone passes this on as well! The face of illegal immigration!

I AM AN AMERICAN MARRIED TO AN ILLEGAL ALIEN SO YOU CAN ALL KISS MY @SS ON THIS BOARD . THE ILLEGALS WILL GET THERE VISA WHEATHER YOU FOOLS LIKE IT OR NOT SO GO FIND A NEW HOBBY BECAUSE THIS ONE ISN'T GOING TO WORK OUT TO WELL FOR ANY OF YOU LOSER FOOLS. GET A LIFE WILL YA.

I already called both companies and told them I would be boycotting their products for now on. Of course I had to leave voice messages. I'm betting they are getting a lot of boycott calls. These companies are bigger than the pallet company that was busted for hiring illegal aliens. Why isn't ICE all over these companies?
Brian

Hey Gene,
As long as US citizens stick up for laws enacted to protect us, illegals will NEVER get their visas. You are wrong.

God! I can't believe these companies are actually closing their doors to give illegals a day off. Let an American worker ask for such things and see what happens.
I'll be calling these companies today or next week if they are closed on Monday or will write to express my feelings. I won't buy their products on Monday or thereafter, if I can help it. Count me in!

Hey Dave we will see who is wrong when they all get there amnesty. You can't beat them if you only new how much money is involved in this you don't even have a clue. but I'm sure you are smart enough to know CASH will always be the king. If you give me your e-mail I'll send you a picture of my wife holding her VISA when we get it. Later loser

CORPORATE GREED, MARXISM and SOCIAL SECURITY

Have you noticed how they sell illegal amnesty using the Social Security card? After-all, look at all the illegal social security numbers drawing illegal money and employers paying it in to SSA. Imagine a country that is legal, paying it's employees at least 100% more money for the same job, thus PAYING 100% MORE INTO SSA than slave labor.

Oh, I know, the illegal immigrant corporate powers tell you meat will go up in price if labor is legal. Ha Ha Ha!!! Bacon is $5 a pound at Safeway, Rib Steaks are $11.99 a pound lately, etc, etc,

THESE CORPORATE PIGS apparently pocket the entire illegal worker profits and still pass huge price increases on to you, its that simple. Look at housing, the website above states 15% of the housing industry is built by illegal immigrants, when are we going to see a decrease in housing prices. Ha ha ha.

Before I believe illegal immigrants lower my $2/lb apples, etc, PROVE IT IN WRITING CORPORATE POWERS.

Otherwise its just MORE MARXIST HOGWASH from the south, that greedy corporate powers use against FAIR.

I want to immigrate to indutrialized Europe now, where immigration is controlled and wages are higher than in the USA (Boeing pays approx $25/hr, Airbus pays approx $35/hr avg). Socialism without immigration works, but Marxism flooding into a Captilistic country means we'll all be paid $3000/yr soon.

Let us not forget all the fast-food restaurants who hire illegals. . . McDonald's, Wendy's, Arby's, etc.

There are two local Mexican restaurants who are supporting the boycott by closing on Monday so their employees may support the boycott. I, along with others in this city, will no longer patronize these rastaurants nor any others that I truly believe, or know, hire illegals.

Hey Gene, perhaps you should get a life (a legal one) for your illegal honey.
It is attitudes like yours that turn others against illegals.
What makes the illegals think they can disrespect our country's laws when we Americans must obey them or go to jail?
What makes them think they can commit other illegal acts like identity fraud, just because they want a better life?
Do you think the rest of us are walking around wishing we didn't have it so good? Do you think we could do such things in Mexico or elsewhere with paying the penalty?
What makes illegals think they are entitled to anything the U.S. has anyway? Just because they want it or because the Southwest was theirs before they were stupid enough to lose it?
They've used every trick in the book to stay here and then think we should respect them. No Way. Go Home Illegals.
I sincerely hope you end up being wrong in your assessment of this mess and that Congress passes a stick enforcement bill.

Hey Gene
Here's my e-mail address: bearfanz@yahoo.com Anyways, you're the loser who's married to some illegal alien. I have my own business and a master's degree.

question, if people won't buy meat and sales are down, is that because pro-boycott people aren't buying anything or anti-boycott people aren't buying anything? this may be like 70% of the people being against bush's immi policy, people hate it because is either too liberal or too conservative.

Keep these companies in mind when you go shopping and do without their offerings if you want to help Americans. Look on the back of the packaging. It doesn't just have to be Monday or for a week? Just write them off as traitors and move on.

I wrote to Tyson online and let them know what I thought of them and their illegal mexican workforce. I'm moving on now to the next in line and so on.

Don't forget to put out an American flag on Monday or put one on your car antenna or wear a flag shirt to work, if you have one (I do).

Let Mexico and their servants in Washington know what WE think of them.

Also, call your traitorous Senators on Monday and ask them just how long they intend to be traitors to the will of the people who elected them? I called mine today and let them know that they are traitors. It feels great! Try it if you haven''t already!

Even though Farmland/Smithfield Foods knowingly hires illegals,they are running their plants on May 1st to show the illegals/Mexicans that they CAN run without them.

American Born - thank you for your clear definition of what, in fact, is going on. For all the Natives and children of immigrants who have assimilated, I thank you. We have found a way to work together in peace, to blend together, and still maintain IN OUR HOMES, our ethnic heritage. Gene does not sound like a particularly law-abiding individual, and frankly, based on his spelling, I can see why he married an illegal.

Illegal aliens have no right to claim this as their continent -- I have news for them -- We (Indians) were here first and we have assimilated and are willing to stand by all the LEGAL citizens of this country in this battle.

What about the white people who are on Atkins diets?!?!?! Whate are they to do?????? It'll be chaos!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

:-)

Hello, Mr. Chertoff. Hi. You stated that the government would be taking the hiring of illegal aliens by companies in vioation of the laws seriously beginning with the IFCO raids and the arrest of the employers of that company. Yes, we saw you on national television explaining the Bush administrations position and just want to thank you. We know you've been extremely busy cracking down since then, but it's come to the attention of the Stein report that several large companies, even bigger than IFCO ,are in violation of the law for hiring il....... hello?, hello? Mr. Chertoff? hello?----I think the line just went dead. It's weird, this has been happening every day since the IFCO raids.

Just had a chance to watch the video clip. As usual, Dan makes us all proud! Thank you, Dan, for all you do! You are truly an excellent spokesman for our movement.

I INTEND TO PERMANENTLY BOYCOTT BOTH HORMEL AND TYSON. AND I INTEND TO LET THEM KNOW THIS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. WHEN DO WE CITIZENS MATTER?

It's not only those south of the border who are dissing America while taking a bite out of her. It's the whole freakin world. This issue has given the criminal aliens the courage to look America in the face and tell us they are here and there's not a damn thing we can do about it. Irish illegals believe they have the right to break the law and recieve full citizenship.

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles.php?article_id=5443&search=lalor

It reminds me of a feeding frenzy among sharks with each criminal alien group taking a bite out of America. If they see nothing wrong with respecting the laws of this nation then what makes one think they would respect any other laws?

This is simple for me... I will just boycott them altogether, those companies posted here.

We need everyone calling INS or DHS or whoever is running the show these days to raid these companies. Just keep reporting them.

The most important thing people who have access to the net and computers can do is tell your parents,grandparents, friends, everyone who watches the MSM to not believe a single thing they say on the immigration issue, since they are working with the open borders lobby. Tell your grandparents that the country of laws they fought for, is being thrown away by cowards in the government, and tell them to become one issue voters, and you know what issue that is. It should'nt matter what party they belong to.

Since each newly-legalised immigrant will eventually bring brothers, sisters, and parents, legalising 12-20 million immigrants will eventually result in the immigration of 36-60 million!

Why has this point received little publicity????

You people are bunch of morons , get this through
your heads , your opinions do change NOTHING !!!!
Go back to the librarys..........HISTORY OF THIS
COUNTRY IS BASED ON GUNS AND IMMIGRATION
.....YOU USED INDIANS,BRITISH,FRENCH...AND NOW USING MEXICANS
TO BUILD THIS COUNTRY AND NOW IS A PAY BACK TIME :))))))))

WE MUST ALL DO OUR PART AND BY GOD'S GOOD GRACE - WE WILL!!

NO ONE NEED REMIND AN AMERICAN, ESPECIALLY A VETERAN - HOW TO MAKE SOY BURGERS WITH CHEESE CURDS.

I LIVE IN PHOENIX, BUT I RARELY EAT MEXICAN. NOW INDIAN FRY BREAD - THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.

IF YOU ARE A VETEAN OR A FAMILY MEMBER OF A VETERAN - REMEMBER: DUTY. HONOR. COUNTRY!! WEAR THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE AND BLAST THE NATIONAL ANTHEM ON YOUR CAR STEREO.

BY THE WAY. TO THE WITER WHO ACCUSED BUSH OF SLEEPING WITH CHICKENS - PERHAPS THAT'S HOW THEY GOT THE AVIAN FLU!!

Please pass these links! These are the people that are lawmakers are fighting for!

http://www.mexica-movement.org/granmarcha.htm

dreamact2005, you are right about your point that it won’t be obvious who caused most of the damage to the meat industry. One side is pushing and the other side is pulling. It’s called whipsaw effect. It is a way to magnify power and the open borders movement walked right into it.

One thing is for sure, it will magnify the hurt to the meat industry. Not only will they lose all of the production that they would have done, that day, with their illegals, they will sell less meat to people like us in the future. They get pushed from behind and pulled from the front. Whipsaw! They go down all the harder. And this is just the beginning.

When the elections come, there will be millions of legal voters who will cross party lines to vote against anyone who supports amnesty. Since most of the races will be decided by 5% or less, if only a small percentage of the voters do this, we can whipsaw these traitors right out of office.

Note how Mad King George is whipsawing himself and the Republican party. The very demonstrators that he supports are holding up signs for his impeachment. At least we agree on that!

The people at ALIPAC http://alipac.us have been boycotting poultry throughout the month of April.

No one noticed.

We Indians were indeed here first. Cherokee and Blackfoot mixed. My family spent their entire lifetimes hiding & denying their Indian blood.

Having been married to and having divorced an illegal alien from Mexico, I can tell you that he is appalled by these illegal alien criminals. He thinks that what they are doing is wrong. He and I both have seen the welfare and food stamp fraud and crime by illegal alien criminals. And they all are CRIMINALS, because they willfully chose to defy our laws to cross our border illegally and these criminals have absolutely NO respect whatsoever for our laws.

All these criminals need to be deported and permanently barred from our country and these criminals must be FORCIBLY kept out of our country by ANY means necessary, even if it results in their deaths.

Also, Cheyenne Woman, my Cherokee great-grandmother died because a white doctor in Kentucky refused to treat her because she was an Indian and her baby died too. Our family has suffered because of this. My family was ashamed of being Indian.

I will never accept nor allow amnesty for illegal alien criminals. Over my dead body!!!

In any case, there will be NO amnesty whatsoever!!! The House of Representatives has already SAID that any amnesty bill coming out of the Senate is DOA. They said any Senate bill with amnesty will be killed as soon as it arrives and nothing will ever pass the House with amnesty in it. That is a certainty!!!

So, forget amnesty, illegal-alien lovers. You will never get it. If the Congress and that traitor in the white house manages to shove a guestworker or amnesty program down the throats of 90%+ of the American people who staunchly OPPOSE it, then there will be Civil War II, because the American people will never accept it.

You will see the illegal-alien criminals fleeing for their lives back across the border into Mexico and the criminals who refuse to leave will probably be killed. You will see a slaughter of illegal-alien criminals like you have never seen before.

The American people will revolt and will go for the illegal-alien criminals and drive them out of this country, no doubt about it. They will not accept amnesty for criminals.

As for Gene, he can get a visa for his wife if he follows legal channels. I don't even know why his wife's legality is an issue unless she has otherwise committed a crime like rape, murder, drug trafficking, bank robbery, or drunk driving, etc. Her getting her papers should not even be an issue, and should not even be a part of the debate about what to do about illegal-alien criminals.

If he is rich as he claims to be, then he can live in a foreign country as it should be no problem for him.

Also the anchor baby scam needs to be stopped. Citizenship at birth should only be granted to children of U.S. citizens and LEGAL residents.

Whiteram, you are sooooo right. After 40 years of being lied to and ripped off, payback IS coming. The pendulum never stops in the middle. See YOU on the field. ;)

Congress needs to issue more visas, at least 450,000. You may not have noticed, but unemployment in the US is at 4.7%!

H2A and H2B visas allow legal entry, the employers can't keep them off the books, they need to pay FICA taxes. Its a great idea.

The demand for foreign labor is high during a tight labor market at home. Provide leagl ways in. Shut the border so no more illegal migration.

Simple. What is the problem if they are legal? Mexicans fight and die in the US military, they come from a Christian/family oriented culture, they also work hard. They do have big families, which annoys the zero population growth people. But looking at the EU, and Japan, zero population growth doesn't look too great an idea.

If they are legal, so what?

Boycotts for one day, isn't enough. We should boycott for good, even if its something we really enjoy. We should all be writing the companies, telling them we are boycotting everyday. If nothing else, they will see Americans know, and we aren't going to support their business. Long term, and deep pocket losses of revenue, is what will really send the message.

I believe this quote says it all:

Important and Forgotten Words:
Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Go ahead! Don't buy and consume anyhting immigrants work with: meat, chicken, turkey, fruits and vegetables. Do it for a year and the only thing you'll be able to eat is heavy-processed food that will land you in a hospital in which a FOREIGN nurse will be taking care of you!!!

Being a vegetarian I of course feel that the meat boycott is a great idea always!
However, for those of you who enjoy eating meat on a regular basis, a boycott is also a good idea.
The only suggestion I would make is that a one day boycott is not enough to provide a significant financial impact to these companies.Any boycott would have to be at least the same lenghth of time as the shelf-life of their product. Otherwise what is not bought on one day will just be purchased on another day.
Also, these companies can not afford to keep livestock around for a long time without processing it. They need to feed and water the animals and they need to keep them moving through the slaughter houses because they have incoming livestock that they have contracted and paid for and they need a place to keep those animals. If they have a fall off in production it becomes a logistical and financial nightmare.
In other words, a boycott has to be long enough that their "on-hand" already processed meat stores have been left to rot and they have no demand to process new livestock.
So, if you are going to boycott these companies, please do so permanently. I am sure that meat packers not on this list also use illegal help but we have to make an example of someone so it might as well start with the big guys.
Pamela

What better way to tell Americans who is in the kitchens than a boycott. Excellent idea!

Once they get to visualize the illegals and what happens to their food they will no longer get to remain ignorant.

I hope this makes New Yorker's realize just how bad the problem is...

I wished they would boycott for weeks on end, then the "ASLEEP" AMERICAN PUBLIC MIGHT RAISE HELL.

Oh yea, when I tell people I e-mail and phone call my D.C. representatives all the time, they look at me as if I'm crazy. I'm telling ya --------- this nation is asleep

Here’s a pleasant thought for the Big Apple. Let them stay at work and spit on the gringo’s food. Bon Appetite!

Gail mentions "spitting on food". I have heard rumors to that effect in my area as well. I don't doubt it. These are the same people who chunked coke bottles at the small group that was quietly counter-protesting on the day of their march in Dallas. It is my personal experience that they have not internalized the "fair play" part of the democratic experience. I would expect this to happen. I also know from personal experience that their threshold for cleanliness in food preparation is lower than ours. I have never trusted them with this.

The thing that fills me with the most concern is TB and its spread through food preparation. Their "health cards" are false (very often--if not usually) as well. We need to bear this in mind. I am paying close attention to the restaurants having to hustle to cover shifts or close down completely on May 1st. Two of my former favorites are listed in the Dallas Morning News section 5D today (Friday). I will not go back.

my nextdoor nieghbor will have to clean her own toilet this monday. it breaks my heart.

WHO NEEDS FAST FOOD

Have you noticed, if you want a double cheese artery clogger, its 99 cents, if you want grilled chicken its $3.99. Its like the fast food industry wants to kill us all off.

I did notice last night that Dairy Queen, in my home town, apparently hired all citizens with verified SSNs, no illegals, from what I could tell, as they all were highschool kids my daughter knew who were European ancestory and born in the USA. By the way, these young Caucasion guys worked FAST and super efficient, no illegal immigrant could keep up with our domestic borns in that place. The kitchen looked very clean/shiny and orderly too, not like some of these dirty slave shops for fast food I've seen in the same area with apparent illegal immigrants you have to repeat five times "chicken burger and fries with coke", because they can barely speak or understand English. You all know what I'm talking about.

The bottom line, why do we need so darn many fast food joints? Close half of them down and there's still too many.

Same with Washington apples, turn half the orchards into parks, water them and let park goers pick organic apples for free. They're falling off the trees there's too many.

We created this need for illegals, WE DON'T NEED THEM.

LOL...Software engineer, that's great stuff. The Onion ought to offer you a job. I also agree with everything you're saying, and also have noticed the same changes in employment where I live. It's refreshing to go into a restaurant and see happy, hard-working American teenagers again.

LOL @ Softwarengineer . I'm with you on that. We do have a serious problem in this country though folks. WE (Americans) have no Congressional representation. It's all about ILLEGAL immigrants. We're all racist.

RACIST:

adj 1: A convenient term for those with no reasonable counter-argument to logically explain exactly why we need 20 million more Latinos in this country on top of the 30 million or so already here.

Watch the video and be afraid, be very afraid:

http://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/media/aztlan_high.wmv

Guy-Rhonda,
I agree with your comments.

I am happy they will walk off the job... the NY folks and taxpayers all over the nation will get a wake up call Monday... and I hope this reverberates throughout America... as a wake up call to expel the invaders and the politicians protecting them over citizens.

The illegal immigrant's lack of respect for American law speaks for itself.

The illegal immigrant's willingness to stick with a country in need (Mexico, and others) speaks for itself.

The illegal immigrant's commitment to education speaks for itself.

And the dedication of Courts and Political Leadership to the well being of this country and American Citizens speaks for itself. Simply put, we have allowed courts, special interests and political high rollers put this country on an expressway to all the wrong places.

Perhaps the question is will Americans sit on their butts and let these people continue the process of forcing themselves on us?

Lastly, aren't you sick of hearing this BS that they do the jobs Americans won't do?

They have taken advantage of our good nature; worn out their welcome it is time to send them home!

Yeah, think about who's in the kitchen next time there's a Hep A outbreak, folks.

Dan, (or whoever) that pic of Carrie Bradshaw is even more hilarious than the lucha libre April Fool's joke!

Here is another way to lok at this issue of illlegals working in the food preparation industry.
Being a professional in the Health Industry I have first hand knowledge of this.
Many illegals are hired by restaurants and are never screened for diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis A,B or C. Additionally most of them have never been immunized for polio, mumps, measels, ruebella, smallpox or chickenpox. This is why there is once again an increase in these diseases in the U.S..
Of these diseases, any form of Hepatitis is probably the most commonly spread through food handling and probably the worst to contract since the disease affects the liver and is ultimately FATAL.
The existence of this problem is not the fault of the Health Department. It is the fault of the business owners who choose to cut costs and look the other way.
Next time you are in a restaurant that hires illegals, you might wonder if every person involved in the handling of your meal washed their hands after they used the restroom!
Pamela

Pamela--you are singing my song! While doing social work in Mexico, I became aware of so many diseases that were practically non-existent here. Ever since that experience, I NEVER eat at places like "Taqueria this or Taqueria that". The TB epidemic is blossoming here. I shudder to think of all those with fake or non-existent health cards in restaurants. Thanks for your first-hand experience input. We ALL need to carefully look at the cookstaff at any restaurant we patronize. Again, if the staff speaks the ENTIRE time in Spanish (or any other language) and does not have even RECEPTIVE skills in the English language, something illegal is probably happening in the hiring/staffing department.

I think it's about time for ole Condi to go back to teaching high school.
First, it was 9-11 and the "nothing specific" regarding terrorism junk.
Now this. What fools foreigners make of us, and so easily, too. All because our useless government officials kiss each others butts and rule with their bleeding hearts, erroneous unfactual minds, and twisted ethics. Sad. Very sad to see the scum of the earth this once great country is becoming.

Dear Condi:
Why should we be shocked--he's doing work that Americans won't do.

Don't you sometimes get the feeling that our government is the "blind, leading the blind"?

The absolute idiocy of this is the number one reason we need to close our borders and start sorting this mess out!

This statement is shocking and belongs on the top ten list.

But the prize goes to Rice and her comment at the 9/11 Hearings: "Who could have imagined planes flying into buildings!!!!" And this remark came after many warnings from Bin Ladin.

She needs to go back to her shopping at Saks. And she needs to take Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld with her.

First, let clear the air. Those are not Immigration Officers at the entry points. They are Customs and Border Protection (CBP). A totally different agency within the Department of Homeland Security.
It should not be shocking to see this person with a green card. The American government has made it so easy to become a resident. The make laws to deport them and turn around make petitions and applications for them to either stay in the United States while it is being processed or to file to re-enter. America needs to be more vigilant -- this is just one of who knows how many within these United States. What Americans need to do is just that, Unite.

Tell your parents, grandparents, friends,etc. not to believe a single thing the MSM reports on the immigration issue. Tell them the reason is they are for the open borders lobby. When the MSM gives a phony statistic like, 80% of Americans want Amnesty for illegals, explain to them it's a lie and the truth is 80% of Americans don't want amnesty for lawbreakers. Do this relentlessly, with all the lies spread on the MSM.

These agencies are as useless as the proverbial T***S on a Warthog! Come to think of it, the warthog and its anatomy is actually of more value, than our government agencies and leaders, who definitely need to grow a set!

"Anyone who knowingly transfers or uses a means of identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid and abet, any unlawful activity constitutes a felony under any applicable state or local law. And carries a penalty of 15 years inprisonment."

Am I missing something here? Why aren't 15M illegals serving a 15 year prison term?

Identity theft is one thing. The mutilation of anothers identity is quite another. Without their assent, or even notification? It becomes an abomination. There is no other word to describe it.

Mexico is as in favor of being Americanized as we are of the reverse-yet to say this plain and simple truth publicly borders on heresy.

I read that full article (thanks very much for the link, it's a very good read), and I wanted to make a few comments, about a few aspects of what I read:

-- About the illegal alien and his wife from Mexico who received amnesty U.S. citizenship as an affect of the Reagan Amnesty, and who is said to have then obtained a home loan and moved to North Carolina where he began several businesses (and is a prosperous man, it sounds like, today), I'm happy for his success but there's an important element at work there that most U.S. citizens from lower to middle classes are well aware of: he received a home loan as a naturalized citizen while almost certainly a poor person with dependents and little to no credit history, and almost certainly because of his Mexican origin and affiliation --- while most U.S. citizens of similar or related economic beginnings would be scrutinized to a far higher degree by any lender and often is refused without a substantial credit history, particularly once that person is an adult.

And, about that, I read often that "Hispanics create businesses at a faster rate than others" in the U.S. and again I say it is directly related to the financial assistance that "Hispanics" receive through one cultural handup or another while the average American citizen, working normally as a consumer through and with available opportunities, finds a rough go of it when trying to start up a business and to get that first home loan, much moreso simultaneously...I see and know of many, many Hispanics and Asians who have little to no problem receiving credit and even private funding while the average U.S. citizen as a startup arrivee in the business climate goes nowhere without family help or connections otherwise. Not everyone is among those recruited in college and even with a very good college education, U.S. citizens have a far harder time of it than do illegal and even legal immigrants, in access to funding of the sort that buys houses and builds businesses.

I'd have liked to have built and owned by this time several bakeries or several grocery stores but the funding was never available to me, to be blunt, and my ancestors have been in North America long before the United States of America was ever born here, and, my ancestors are numerous over centuries who have fought, labored and worked hard to build a nation but today, in commerce, without access to funding sources, it's impossible to build businesses, even with two college degrees, without a family member or an inheritance.

-- I see from that article that our U.S. illegal immigration process was thrown aside for onions, peaches and some chickens. If ever there was a case for greed, it's the business persons who are so willing to throw away ideals and ethics as are those who are quoted in that article. If a field of onions go bad in Georgia, are the American taxpayers expected to suffer for several decades and billions of dollars and loss of quality of life and opportunities, horrible degradation to neighborhoods, and far more? I wonder if I'll ever buy an onion from Georgia or a chicken from North Carolina again, after reading that article.

-- The "business lobby" is said to be "too strong" and overpowering the majority of voter influence upon our electeds and our national enforcement agencies. That is the most outrageous thing I've ever heard. Businesses don't elect people to office, regardless of what they THINK they do, they are not the numbers that elect or fail to elect legislators to office.

At this point, the only way it seems that the average United States citizen can be heard in these issues is to derail many re-election campaigns and threaten impeachment to those in office who later reveal they don't really believe what they campaigned upon but actually support the opposite of that while still in office (President Bush cmes to mind here in his recent revelations that he thinks "illegal aliens should be given American ciitzenship" -- he's betrayed those of us who voted for him).

A lot of U.S. citizens today feel that we are the only fools going who stop at stop signs, abide speed limits, honestly complete local, state and federal forms, use our own identities, tell the truth. Because from what the U.S. looks like as I write this, there are few of us left who do. That's disgusting, particularly as we approach the impending May 1 naitonal, organized protest for "workers" -- somewhere, democracy has been replaced with communism in the U.S. and even more horrifying, Washington allowed it to happen. What does that say about Washington?

SOCIAL SECURITY AGENCY'S FRAUD AND ABUSE TO INSPECTOR GENERAL SECTION IS IN SPANISH TOO

As an indicator of the hopeless nature of complaining to the SSA about SSN fraud, its in Spanish too.

the funny thing is they will hunt you down like a rabbit using your ss# and tax id# if you don't pay your taxes. i wonder why there is a double standard? i think we all know.

Yes, I guess we would ruin our reputation as a bunch of stupid wimps, if we actually did something for ourselves and didn't kow-tow to everyone who raises a fuss.
A national biometric system screening everyone who comes into this country should be in place within a year. England did it, why can't we?
Because our government is stupid. Because they'd rather listen to other countries who want their piece of the pie and maybe don't know their a** from a hole in the ground.
I wouldn't be surprised if the next terrorist is already living here. I hope he gets all the morons who put others before American citizens. That's what all these morons need. A nice, powerful wake-up call.

Sorry, but I just had to add that these Canadians have a lot of nerve, don't they?
They, as a people, are very nationalistic and don't want others telling them what to do. They'll fight for their rights, but ours? How dare we do the same thing! Morons, just like our government.

Two words come to mind:
Cowards and Wimps...
Nuff Said!

Has the BUSH ADMINISTRATION done ANYthing of effort to protect and defend the United States? I mean, at this point, has it set limits, declared requirements or even dared to say, "no" to foreign nationals?

There are two good Supreme Court appointments but from recent history, it wasn't even Bush who was responsible for that without a whole lot of complaints otherwise...left to his own resources, we'd never have had Roberts nor Alito.

I don't take President Bush seriously any longer. I regret voting for him.

You bet my family will be meat free.
Hormel, Tyson foods INC, Cargill and seaboard foods
can GO TO HELL FROM NOW ON!
FIRE YOUR MEXICAN GARDENERS AND ALL MEXICAN HELP.
SCREW LA RAZA!

REMEMBER THE ALAMO

The slightest pressure from open-borders interests and the cowardly Bush administration caves!

Meat boycott - EXCELLENT IDEA!!! Like FCannon, I eat less meat than before. So, when I make calls to the numbers provided, I will tell them that I will eat no meat for A MONTH. And I will keep my word. I have already attached a note to my purse to remind me.

I'VE EMAILED EVERYONE I KNOW TO GO OUT AND SHOP LIKE CRAZY ON MONDAY (EXCEPT DON'T BUY MEAT FROM TYSON, ETC.) WE NEED TO BOYCOTT ANYONE THAT HIRES ILLEGALS. BUT ON MONDAY, WE NEED TO SHOW OUR GOVERNMENT THAT ILLEGALS DON'T "HELP" OUR ECONOMY BY STAYING HOME AND PROTESTING. WE NEED TO FILL UP OUR GAS TANKS, GO OUT TO DINNER, MOVIES, ANY MAJOR PURCHASES YOU'VE BEEN WANTING, BUY IT ON MAY 1ST. IF WE HAVE TO CLEAR OUR OWN TABLES AT THE RESTAURANT, WE'LL DO IT. I WANT OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES TO THRIVE AND DO BETTER WITHOUT THE ILLEGALS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS MONEY. WE CAN DO IT, IF WE SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERYONE ON OUR EMAIL LISTS. MAY 1 WOULD BE A GOOD DAY FOR EVERYONE TO BUY THEIR EARLY MOTHER'S DAY GIFTS. THINK ABOUT IT, WE CAN GO GROCERY SHOPPING WITHOUT WAITING IN LINE BEHIND A MEXICAN WITH 15 KIDS THAT CAN'T COUNT OUT HER FOODSTAMPS. WE CAN SHOP AND ONLY HEAR ENGLISH SPOKEN IN EVERY STORE! MY KIDS GO TO SCHOOL WHERE THEY ARE THE MINORITY, BECAUSE THEY'RE CAUCASIAN. WE JOKED THAT THE LAST PROTEST, EAST BAKERSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL WAS LIKE IT USED TO BE IN THE 1950'S...IT WAS LIKE "HAPPY DAYS". MY KIDS TOLD ME THERE TEACHERS WERE ALL IN A GOOD MOOD. THEY WERE ABLE TO LEARN MORE BECAUSE ALL THE SCREW-UP KIDS WERE CUTTING CLASS TO PROTEST. ONE TEACHER EVEN TOLD ME HE WAS ABLE TO TEACH MORE IN THAT ONE DAY WITHOUT THE MEXICANS THAN HE HAD IN A WHOLE MONTH!

THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HELP OUR ECONOMY. DO YOU REALIZE THEY DON'T PAY AS MUCH SALES TAX, BECAUSE ANYTHING THEY BUY THAT ISN'T FOOD, THEY BUY AT A YARD SALE. THEIR KIDS GET FREE LUNCHES AND BREAKFAST DURING SCHOOL...AND FREE MEALS DURING THE SUMMER, THANKS TO OUR DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE PROGRAM.

DO YOU KNOW THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT HAS MANY CONSULATES IN THE U.S. AND THEY HAVE SENT 100,000 MEXICAN LANGUAGE HISTORY BOOKS TO AMERICAN SCHOOLS IN HIGHLY MEXICAN POPULATED AREAS THAT TEACH A VERY SLANTED VIEW OF MEXICAN HISTORY. THESE TEXTBOOKS WERE A GIFT FROM THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT. HOWEVER, US TAXPAYERS HAD TO PAY SHIPPING AND HANDLING ON THESE 100,000 TEXTBOOKS! THESE SAME BOOKS ARE TAUGHT IN MEXICAN SCHOOLS AND TEACH THEIR CHILDREN THAT AMERICA TOOK THE SOUTHWEST STATES FROM MEXICO UNFAIRLY AND THAT THEY WERE COERCED INTO SIGNING THE TREATY OF GUADALUPE-HIDALGO. THERE IS A MAJOR LA RAZA MOVEMENT TO TAKE BACK THE SOUTHWEST STATES BY MAKING BABIES (I.E. THEY SAY THEY ARE MORE FAMILY-ORIENTED). PROFESSOR ARMANDO NAVARRO OF UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT RIVERSIDE IS A MAJOR INSTIGATOR AND ORGANIZER OF THIS MOVEMENT. HE STARTED HIS SPEECHES IN 1995 AND HAS SAID THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE "OLD WHITIES TO DIE", THAT THEY WILL COME OVER HERE AND HAVE MANY BABIES THAT WILL BE AUTOMATIC CITIZENS WHO WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE IN 18 YEARS. WELL, IT'S ALREADY BEEN 11 YEARS, AND LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY. I URGE EVERYONE TO LOOK UP INFO ON: ARMANDO NAVARRO AND ALSO: MEXICAN TEXTBOOKS IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS. YOU'LL BE OUTRAGED AT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON AND WHY THEY ARE CROSSING OVER HERE. THEY WANT TO TAKE OVER...IT'S NOT JUST FOR DOING JOBS THAT AMERICANS WON'T DO (THAT'S JUST A COVER UP).

Our country has been conquered by a country, without them even firing a shot. The total disregard from our government is sickening. Criminal immigrants protesting with the audacity to waive their countries flag. The same country that did nothing to help them. Waiving flags of commie Che Guevera. Simple way to reduce the cost of gas. Get rid of the illegals, no more illegals driving, less traffic, less use of utilities. They drain social services, ovrcrowd our jail systems, increase drug and prostitution trades. If I could see this , our govt. can and has simply sold us out.

I think its important to realize criminalizing people for a simple desire for a better life will not stop the demand for individuals from Mexico, Latin America, Asia, Eastern Europe, Russian, etc to come to the US. People will always be driven by hunger - and will risk everything to make a better life for themselves and their families. This is the same desire that drove the Pilgrims to cross over 200 years ago. It’s the same desire that brought the Irish here in the mid 1800's – no public policy can hinder a man’s hunger for a better life. If anything, the debate should concentrate on penalizing the companies and business that employ these individuals - if the demand can’t be affected, then the supply should be addressed. It becomes a simple economic problem.

No good will result from arresting over a million illegal immigrants - it will result in social unrest and just isn't a plausible solution. That being said, I agree that border security should be tightened through doubling our border patrol and building a fence along out southern border - these are both very attainable. I think this is especially important after 9/11.

I also think its important to realize that it takes a couple generation or 2 for an immigrant family to fully in
