Here we go again.
The newly formed "We Are America Alliance" is organizing an immigrant voting registration drive and their leaders will deliver postcards to D.C. requesting a "path to citizenship" on May 17, which they have dubbed "National Labor Day." Gee, I thought that was in September. This Alliance has more holidays than the French.
Ignoring the fact that sixty per cent of those who participated in the pro-immigrant demonstrations are ineligible to vote because they are not citizens ....read illegal.... this labor-Latino-Catholic church activists group wants to deliver the postcards to the Congressional leaders debating new immigration legislation.
Wonder if that will influence our Congress....they don't seem to read the requests of the majority of their electorate who just want the laws enforced, the borders secured and their country back.
Although the House has already passed its immigration legislation, the Senate is tiptoeing toward a bill by September. This summer "immigration action justice centers," such as " tax exempt" churches across the country, will be signing up voters and promoting a lenient guest-worker program designed to fast-track illegal immigrants to U.S. citizenship. Thus living up to their chant... "Ahora marachamos, manana votamos" ....Today we march, tomorrow we vote.
It is hard to ignore the impact the Hispanics have had on the country as the nation's largest and fastest-growing minority group. Or the fact that nearly half of the nation's children under 5 are racial or ethnic minorities, and 70 per cent of those children are Hispanic.
While not discounting the positive contributions made by law-abiding legal immigrants, it is also impossible to ignore the strain illegal immigrants have placed on our hospitals providing free care, on schools providing free education and even our penal system, where reportedly 29 per cent are illegal immigrants.
It is up to our government to sort all of this out.
El presidente Bush has already made plain his stance, business interests want a cheap labor force, what business wants, business gets from him. Remember his governing philosophical triumvirate.....oil, business, church.
Our lobbyist-influenced legislators are ill-equipped for Solomon-like bill crafting, but they are all we have. Let them know where you stand.... send them a postcard...or an email or call their offices.
Let them know... "Today we want our borders secured, in November we vote."

Correction:
As a legal immigrant and law abiding citizen, I find the notion that all citizens of Latin American extraction, who legally came and live in this country would agree to legalize undocumented workers, idiotic
For the most part we find this idea not only insulting but plain stupid. We have no idea whether these people are going to make good citizens or not but, the fact that they broke the law willingly and feel they have "rights", despite that fact, does not exactly indicate they respect our laws at all.
No one coming into my home by force can expect a welcome, nor would the law give them any rights...if any it gives me the right to shoot any intruder. Are our elected officials guilty of treason by aiding and abetting a full fledge invasion, flags and all?
You have my vote, we need more people with commion sence, I think
we need both partys out and put someone in there that can do the job right..There is no more USA, kiss it goodbye. Now its Mexico..
