Burning Atlanta

You know, this does have the smell of hyperbole around it but I don't think it's really that far off from reality. The border is an extremely dangerous area in some places. I've read bits about local cops being told to stay away from it. I've read other bits about some small towns along the Rio Grande that are being ripped off on an every day basis by people coming across the border, stealing, then swimming back across. Consider that some of the drug and smuggling wars have already been spilling over and the effects have been felt all over the country.

Bookman's had a few too many gerbil extractions, been smoking his stained undies, or something. But his piece typlifies the kind of total horse droppings that the AJC has turned into. An agenda-driven bunch of snot-nosed head-in-the-sand candy asses that have no grasp of reality and try to avoid it at all cost. What happened to the concept of journalistic integrity? You won't find any at the Atlanta paper.

(groan) I get sooo tired of that crap. Guess what? About 85% of illegals are Hispanic so what ethnicity do you think is most likely to show up as the majority of those arrested? Part of this story that wasn't said, I'll get to in a minute.

It's really kind of laughable but pathetic at the same time. These arrogant slime really don't give a damn what the people want, their only concern is getting re-elected and appeasing their big money backers. Bennett has adopted the same BS public stance that he hasn't made up his mind, yet, and will wait to make a decision until the final bill is drafted. MY ASS. That's the same crap Saxby Chambliss and others are spewing.

This is Bush's answer to the problem of 12-20 million illegals and another million a year crashing the border. "All those here can stay and we'll double the amount of legal immigration. That will mean fewer trying to crash the border." Totally insane. I've been supportive of Bush on many issues but I've opposed him on this issue from the start.

There's another side to this: If ICE deports these pukes then they're not supposed to re-enter this country, that's a felony. So, if the laws were being enforced then this law wouldn't be necessary. However, as we know, some gate-crashers don't have much regard for the law.

Seems like two different trains of thought driving this. One seems to be a fear that if they oppose an amnesty then that will cost them the Hispanic vote. I think that's a common myth. From the way American citizens of Hispanic descent voted on Props in Arizona, it's obvious that Hispanics are not in lockstep. Plenty of American Hispanics oppose amnesties and special treatment of illegals. There's also the fear that if they don't support this the dems will pass it anyway and gain the Hispanic vote for years to come or those amnestied are going to vote for democrats, regardless.

There are a couple of parts to the legislation, proposed legislation, that I'm still a little fuzzy about. One has to do with the supposed fine. More on that later. But this guy does make a good point or two about enforcement, or the lack of enforcement.

I should take the time to post a letter I sent her and the other editors at the AJC concerning one of her earlier editorials. She was trying her typical bullshit about how we rely on illegals and how much more things would cost and...all the typical baseless arguments we've heard a zillion times. Commonly, she resorts to emotional arguments, avoids facts and relies on innuendo. This time, not as bad as usual.

There's nothing better for the average working stiff than a tight labor market. Wages and benefits go up. As proven following the "raids" at some meat plants, the employers raised wages and got legal workers. So, we're surprised that business supports every menas to bring in and maintain a large pool of CHEAP labor? Why do you think every Chamber of Commerce and business group in this country supports amnesties?

I smell a rat. More accurately, I smell the stench of two pro-amnesty rats baking under the heat of their constituents' wrath and trying to do a little damage control. Pay attention to the "Doing nothing is an amnesty" theme that we've seen lately. Keep in mind that 40% of illegal aliens are visa overstays yet they say nothing about that loophole. Keep in mind the fact that our govenment's NEVER shown any real effort at prosecuting employers yet jobs are the number one lure that drives illegal immigration.

We know most of this is for show but every illegal that goes to jail and/or gets deported is a step in the right direction. I have no doubt that most of those that are committing felonies won't be charged. They'll simply be offered expedited removal. "Poof" gone. Cheaper and less time consuming. Yeah, they can fight it out in court but why take the risk of going to prison for who knows how long...or short?

I've always contended that illegal immigration isn't a partisan issue. Plenty of republicans support business having a large pool of cheap labor. BUT plenty of republicans/conseratives have a strong sense of fair play and can't come to terms with those that cheat the system. Plenty of democrats/liberals have sympathy for those "less fortunate" or may have a "We are the World" attitude. Others see the impact on the work force and wages and don't support a huge number of illegal immigrants coming in who suppress Americans' pay and job opportunities.  Even Chavez opposed illegal aliens as he formed the farm workers union.

Many people don't realize that it's not just the good ol' USA that has been having problems with illegals. Canada killed an amnesty for their illegals last year. How aggressive they've been in deportations, I don't know. France and Spain have been having problems and are getting hardcore about tossing them. One story I'd read about an immigrant family in France said they appeared at an immigration office thinking they were getting their papers, and the next thing they knew they were on a plane back to their homeland. "Poof"

These weasels already know how the Senate was going to vote on the bill, for the most part. They just voted on cloture to kill a filibuster but I didn't see a time limit set. They just said it was put off until June. Reid and McCain wanted this passed way fast. Reid wanted a vote this Thursday. And I think their cloture vote pretty much mimics my prediction for the bill's passing, 69-23.

We all know that most business focused groups, publications, etc... favor and promote a huge supply of cheap labor, no matter what it may cost this nation.

This is one of those total traitors who supports rewarding those that have no regard for our laws. He thinks this is going to save the GOP? Ahh, no. The GOP has a huge split running down the middle and this issue makes that very obvious. The democrats are in typical white-flag waving formation on this issue. Some complain that the bill is too tough. Typical candy-asses. If the GOP showed some spine and leadership on this issue they could gain support from people of all political leanings, except for the most rabid pro-reconquista and Che t-shirt wearing lunatics and the cheap labor at any cost crowd. If anything, the GOP could pick up a lot of support from independents and democratic constituents that are, also, very pissed over this issue.

Go cry to your mommies you snot-nosed pukes. I'm soooo sick of this. These "students"  have no one to blame except their border-crashing parents. My take: They should be grateful to this nation for picking up the tab for their educations K-12. Instead, they start whining, not because they are prohibited from attending college, but because they're not going to get the same financial break as a citizen of that state. Awww, breaks my heart. Well, grow up. Plenty of American citizens struggle paying their way thru college. You shouldn't be concerned about college, you should be concerned your asses will get deported. Which I think is an excellent idea. Gee, you can take all your education and American cultural experience with you, and enrich your native country. Do your part for humanity.....

This is so sick, so pathetic and so inexcusable. As some already know, ICE is going around the country picking up the illegals that have already been ordered deported. Some of these illegals are murderers, rapists, child molesters, drug dealers, etc.. It's my understanding that these slime were released back on the streets often because they requested a hearing to argue that they shouldn't be deported, even after getting out of prison. And they simply vanished rather than attending  any hearings. I'm not exactly sure but some of it goes something like that. Honestly, I don't understand how any illegal who was convicted of a felony and served their sentence was allowed back on the streets under any circumstances. But I have a simple view of the world, sometimes.

Overall, these guys were pretty good when it came to issues concerning illegal aliens. No doubt, Chambliss is in the pocket of the Ags lobby and isn't going to do anything to impede a large pool of cheap labor. Isakson, perhaps not so much. But it seems pretty obvious to me, barring any real changes or the people storming Congress, both these guys are going to support another amnesty.

I'm getting some mixed signals on the amnesty passing the Senate but I still think it's a done deal. My only hope is that the House will kill it. Remember, Reid threatened to reintroduce S. 2611 from last year if this Senate couldn't come up with a new bill. That was the Senate version of H.4437. The House version was an enforcement only bill. The Senate took it and spun it into an amnesty. The Senate passed it 62-36 but when it was sent back to the House they wouldn't even discuss it, DOA.

Sorry for the lack of postings but I've had problems with my hi-speed all day. Problem is that it's acting up and having a real bad effect on my browsers. I called earlier, when my ISP was totally down, and got a recording that said they  were "experiencing difficulties in Georgia." Ahhh, yeah.

This isn't unexpected. This is politics. There's a republican faction that wants to do everything it can to maintain lots of cheap labor to business. They don't care what that cost this country. The democrats are looking for potential voters. They don't care what it cost this country as long as it helps them gain power. I've often thought that the politicians are making a mistake by thinking amnesty equals the Hispanic vote. Yes, some Hispanics look at anyone that opposes illegal aliens as racist. But there are plenty of Americans of Hispanic descent that don't see it that way. Also, the run for the White house looms large. I don't think any of the candidates want to go near this issue, except Tancredo. I've seen several of them use the same old bullshit rhetoric: "I oppose an amnesty but we need to bring these people out of the shadows and give them a legal means to work in this country...."

But, of course, they won't call it an amnesty. They'll go on and on about it taking many years (Oh, an amnesty in slow motion) and how hard it's going to be to gain citizenship.

In short, they'll be lying their asses off and trying to snow the public.

I was going to bring this up the other day. Even knowing that immigration is a major issue the candidates have been painfully silent. Except, obviously, Tancredo. Yes, McCain and others have done a little rethinking on the issue after getting their asses chewed off while on the campaign trail but I'd like to see them take a strong stand and stop with the talk out of both sides of their mouths weaseling. I'm still of the opinion if Romney took a very strong stand against an amnesty it would seriously help his campaign. I voted for Tancredo as a write in last time and probably will vote for him again. I don't think tom would make a great President but, at least, he has the stones to address immigration rather than duck and double-speak.

Remember, it's ALWAYS about the money. If unions see a guest worker plan as adding more dues paying members to their ranks then they would support it. This article doesn't say if the AFL-CIO favors an amnesty or not. At least the Service Employees Union is honest enough to admit that they want citizenship/amnesty for illegals. And consider this, Chavez reported illegal to the INS. Some stories I've seen said that was about the nicest thing they did to illegals that they considered as strike breakers.

This was a given. The pro-illegal bunch was lined up to fight this one. Even though I support the voice of the people and applaud them for taking a stand and sending out EXACTLY the right message, I don't know if they can survive the battle. Whether it be a matter of the opposition outspending them or the legal points, I don't know. I don't even know exactly how they were planning to enforce this or what criteria they were setting for the landlords to follow. I believe Hazelton's law was a little different and required renters to get a permit that was issued by the town. Permit, clearance, whatever. You have to get a permit to drive, own a pet, etc.. so what's sooo wrong about a permit to rent? Hell, many/most landlords require a credit check and they charge for that BEFORE you get an ok to live there.

I have no idea of how other states deal with this. Some illegals apply for and receive an ITN from the fed and can pay taxes and receive refunds from the fed. But states want an SSN.

I've be meaning to do this but something just popped up as an additional incentive. Bank of America is one of those banks that aids and abets illegal aliens. No doubt, they're operating within the law BUT making it easier for illegals to live and work here isn't my concept of an "American" thing to do.  Illegals can open accounts there without a SSN. Also, they can get credit cards after meeting some very minimal criteria.  Funny, my new bank asked for a driver's license and Social Security card. Why don't all banks? Anyway, it took about an hour to open an account with another bank and it is kind of a pain but I never felt better. I still have to deal with a couple of companies that are automatically paid thru my bank account but that's no big deal. Turns out that the new bank has a much better deal on checking. So, take the time to check what you're paying at Bank of America versus what other banks may offer. Not only might you be getting a better deal but you, also, can do your duty as a patriotic American and dump Bank of America for their assisiting the illegal alien bunch.

 

It's sooo bogus. It's such a cowardly way out for spineless traitors. It's ALL a Scam. It's spineless democrats teaming up with traitorous republicans to, again, try to snow the American people. Same as they did in 1986. "But we're REALLY going to get serious, this time, about enforcement. And it's going to be REALLY tough." BIG FAT LIES. It's going to be a repeat of the 1986 IRCA.

(yawn) Illegal aliens in this country killing people is hardly news. Illegals using a bomb at a Vegas hotel is a little more worthy of getting a headline.

I've said this before. I think it is a huge mistake for politicians to assume that if they oppose illegal aliens then they'll lose "The Hispanic Vote." See, there are plenty of American citizens who happen to be Hispanic and are Americans FIRST. They are proud of their heritage, they are proud of the contributions Hispanics have made to this nation, as well they should be. Maybe I'll post the Medal of Honor recipients that have Hispanic surnames, sometime. And these Americans have the same outlook as I: If you come, do it legally and understand that it is an honor, not a right, and we can't let in everyone that wants to come. What's really disgusting is the way the pro-illegals treat these American patriots. They get called names like "coconut" and "traitor." Excuse me? American citizens standing up for this nation, not the invaders who've proven a contempt for this nation, and you call THEM traitors?? Go To Hell.
