After Gay Activists…Comes The Hispanics

U.S President Obama faces more political heat at home as tens of thousands of American-Latinos begin to plan pressuring rallies immediately after Lieutanant Dan Choi and other gay activists made their stand against the President’s slow progress on repealing the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. Among the many supporters of President Barack Obama, Hispanics make up a large bulk of the supporters in overwhelming millions from mostly the Western states. This time protests are to pressure the Democrats into pushing for legislation in favor of giving a path of legitimate citizenship to the near 11-million of illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. The situation does not get better as the U.S government still continues to look for and deport illegal immigrants near the Mexican-U.S border.

Senator Charles Schumer, Democrat Senator of New York.

An overwhelming majority of U.S Hispanics mark immigration as a personal and one of the most concerning issues harrassing the U.S today. According to the Gallup Polls, 62% of American Latinos report that some people they know in their communities are undocumented. The Democrats or rather President Obama hasn’t effectively held out on his promise of handing out possible amnesty to the illegal immigrants and if such feelings run throughout the Hispanic communities, President Obama may not get the support of as many citizens as he need in the near future. There is absolutely no chance of a mass Democrat-to-Republican conversion but there is a very possible chance of these people just not showing up to vote for the Democrats which is still detrimental.

At least 50,000 people are expected to turn out in one of these first rallies this Sunday in Washington D.C and march to the National Mall bringing attention to another problem besides American health care.

So far in the political works, Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator Charles Schumer laid out a reform blue-print that could fix the current system with a new push for a new legislation. The reform has  tougher restrictions on illegal immigrants by implementing biometric social security cards which disallows an illegal immigrant to get work, the increase of border security along with the U.S law enforcement on illegal imigrants, a process for temporary workers to be admitted, and a tough, but “fair” way for illegals to legalize themselves. And President Obama approves. The reform also is planned to give permanent residency to those who can graduate from universities majoring in science, mathematics, and engineering.

Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican Senator of South Carolina.

A few in support of the illegal immigrants state it is puzzling as it was in the case of the gay activists, why a few Americans champions deportation of all illegal immigrants when their nation was found on both “legal and illegal” immigrants and especially when the American economy cannot possibly function without its ‘lower class’ performing the grunt economic work. As for what will happen, we’ll see after Sunday’s rally.

    It’s funny we see politicians letting us republicans down, offering no real solutions and what do we have left, nothing but a failed policy of less tax and government. So we dismantle society’s house and that makes us better off?

    If we need immigrants, bring in the legal ones, who have respected our laws, our people and our nation by following the rules, and who wait 10 years to get in.

    Amnesty = racism

    According to the DHS and La Raza, almost all foreigners in this country illegally are Hispanic.

    Why should lawbreaking Hispanics have preferential immigration treatment over law abiding people of all other races?

    Why should Hispanic Americans have a greater right to family reunification with their law breaking relatives, in terms of numbers allowed in, timing of arrival, and conditions of entry, than Americans of all other races and ethnic groups have for for their law abiding relative trying to immigrate here?

    Why should lawbreaking illegal immigrants be above our laws?

    Illegal entry.. 1st offense= misdemeanor, 2nd = felony
    ID theft = felony
    Document Fraud = felony
    Tax Evasion = felony

    The amnesty bill is asking for immunity from criminal prosecution for those crimes… for illegal immigrants only! If an American or legal immigrant commits those acts, they go to jail for a long time.

    And the so called “tough but fair” amnesty conditions..LOL… a mere $500 fine and pay your back taxes! OOH… how tough is that! People immigrating here legally and their American families would love that deal… now they have to jump though many more hoops, including financial guarantees, and wait their turn.

    No one in America is above the law. No one.

    I am Latino/Hispanic and I want these ILLEGAL ALIENS DEPORTED NOW!

    It makes my blood boil to see same sex couples denied marriage in most states in the United States of American YET, illegal aliens breaking the law get free healthcare (YES, i support the healthcare reform bill – the richest country in the world (us) SHOULD take care of their own dammit!!), food stamps and housing through their ANCHOR BABIES which automatically become US citizens.

    It’s no wonder they come over here…they want all the damn freebies and SEND any money the make BACK TO MEXICO to help that corrupted country and not keep that money here in the USA.

    I deserve healthcare over an illegal alien. I’m a citizen. I deserve food stamps (I’ve been out of work this past year) not some illegal alien. I deserve housing, not illegal aliens who will have 5 kids in order to convince a judge to stay in the USA. I deserve to take part in a same sex marriage as a citizen who pays his taxes, rather than giving all these freebies to these illegal aliens.

    DEPORT THEM NOW! ANCHOR BABIES CAN COME BACK WHEN THEY TURN 18! But all of them and their illegal aliens parents need to get the -bleep- out now! They don’t belong here and they didn’t do it the legal nor the right way!

    JUST AMEND THE 1986 IMMIGRATION CONTROL & REFORM ACT

    The administration had better take notice of the American people, specially in border states that have been invaded by illegal trespassers. That is not saying that a hundred percent of illegal alien families that have poured across our sovereignty fence line Millions of other law breakers have either thrown away their return airline tickets, or just let their entry visa expired to take up illegal residents here. None of this should be tolerated? If it was in my power I would implement Mexico’s strict immigration laws, which are–ENFORCED Unlike our country, that has been jettisoned by years of greed. Politicians have remained the lap-dogs of corporate welfare, even as they play lip-service to pacify the people who have urged physical enforcement through many Presidents. Unfortunately if Amnesty gets the votes, E-Verify, local police detainment, ICE raids and everything else in the enforcement arsenal, will become obsolete. Those already here can then bring in their extended family, which mean just calculating the numbers already here and it will at least triple.. And before the CIR is even signed millions more will try to to dodge detection and will become the next layers of illegal immigrants, who will bankrupt every state and county looking for free handouts. We need superior skilled workers, not people that end up in the welfare line or on church doorsteps. IF AMNESTY PASSES, FAMILY UNIFICATION WILL BRING INTO THIS COUNTRY IRREVERSIBLE MILLIONS MORE. SOMEWHERE IN ACCESS OF 60 TO 70 MILLION.

    America is in crisis mode, from the unceasing flow of destitute foreigners who have swamped the welfare system. Proponents keep repeating that their-ONLY-here to work, “Jobs Americans wont do..?” It’s proved to be a bitter lie.This has just been pure propaganda by just noting the sudden appearance of US citizens and residents for vacant jobs. Shown after the raids at meat packing plants in the hinterland. It’s been repeated time and again, that Americans cannot survive on the pittances that greedy businesses will pay illegal hiring.

    I don’t know how the Amnesty is going to go over should it pass, as out-of-work Americans might turn ugly. For sure all Democrats and Republics will be sacrificed, at the midterm and in November elections Any kind of pardon for people who ignored our laws, could cause unrest and even riots of millions of Americans, before they march on Washington. When 15 million Americans have lost their jobs with no ending in sight and cannot put food on the table for their kids and spouses it might cause massive protests The population are seething with anger over health care, an illegal US census, which enumerates illegal immigrants who should not even be here? Then we have this Amnesty travesty, that will give an absolutely free reward to people who ignored the “Rule of Law”. Those who have a right by birth to be here, or by the generosity of THE PEOPLE are allowed to immigrate here. But illegal immigrants are allowed to give the finger, yet given a golden stipend. For the same violation Americans would be imprisoned for breaking the law in Mexico or other countries

    Even industrialized nations have no leniency for people who shun the law. Politicians–our elected civil servants are supposedly acting in the name of the majority of the American people. When in actual fact, they enact laws on behalf wealthy businessmen, who can pay them the most money. It should be remembered that this clump of mostly corrupt legislators were attorneys, before they joined the wolf pack in Washington. They may have had sincere intentions, to originally carry out the publics wishes. But somewhere down the line they were corrupted by the lobbyists, swarming by the cartload on the Capitol buildings like copious flies, their wallets stuffed with money and favors? Only Americans and legal residents should have a right to assemble, not foreign nationals in rallies demanding rights. Its a sure to infuriate the millions who have waited years patiently to receive an entry visa.

    They are probably are asking themselves why bother with laws, when you can slip through a non-existing fence in some places. Perhaps they should recognize, that they don’t have to cringe in the shadows, because they didn’t violate the immigration laws. We have become soft as a nation and have let the business community and open border groups intimidate us. Its not these entities that pay for these people that they hire? Its the American taxpayers who carries the the whole and complete financial weight of the extra subsistence for these illegal aliens.

    Thanks for your publication on this website. From my experience, periodically softening upward a photograph could possibly provide the photo shooter with an amount of an inventive flare. Often however, this soft blur isn’t what precisely you had in mind and can often times spoil an otherwise good snapshot, especially if you consider enlarging them.
