They took their protests right to the steps of Congress. Hundreds of students, including ten from Georgia, lobbied at the nation’s capitol for “The Dream Act,” which offers undocumented students a chance to become legal citizens.
I contend we don’t need “Immigration Reform” but “Enforcement Reform,” meaning the federal government should do its job and enforce the existing laws on the books. However, the children of illegal aliens believe they should get a pass because they didn’t do anything wrong.
Here’s my analogy on this situation….
Let’s say one day a family wakes up to the sound of the front door of their home being bashed in. The father is handcuffed and escorted out of the home by federal law enforcement officials and is charged with embezzlement. The family is told they have five minutes to gather their most personal belongings and then vacate the premises because their home and automobile are being seized because stolen money is believed to have purchased said assets.
The family soon finds out their bank accounts have been frozen because they too may contain monies as a result of the father’s possible theft.
Who should the family be mad at, the federal government that suspected the father of theft or the father for putting the family in the precarious position they find themselves in now? I suspect the wife would be rightfully furious with the husband, as would be the kids. But when it comes to parents who knowingly violated our sovereign border, no blame is being issued to them by their children. No, it’s the federal government’s fault for not letting those kids have their way and let them operate freely in a country they are in illegally.
For this reason (as lacking in compassion as is sounds) I have no sympathy for the offspring of illegal aliens who are being denied in-state tuition for colleges, or admittance at all. They have no business protesting a college, state legislature, congress or citizenry of a state or the nation. If anything, these kids should demand their parents explain why they decided to break the law and hide out for decades knowing it could hurt them in the long run.
The federal government wouldn’t drop the charges against an embezzler because it would inconvenience his or her family.
Illegal aliens aren’t deserving of amnesty and their kids are in no position to make demands.
And that’s something you’re not likely to read in the MSM.

"Illegal aliens aren’t deserving of amnesty and their kids are in no position to make demands."
Quite the contrary. They should be loaded onto vehicles, and taken to the border and be deported to Mexico.
Period.
Interesting point. I defenitely agree with the problem, we don't need imigration reform, just enforcement. Illegal imigration is a cost we just can't bear at this time.
And for those that say illegal imigrants pay more into the system, I say B***S***. Just one premie delivery and care uses up more than hundreds put into the system at minimum or near minimum wage earnings.
Dear administration,
We know what you mean by " reform" now. You will not be allowed to" reform" anything ever again. And don't try using the words tweak ,adjust or refine either. We know your fancy tricks.
You are right.
I read a good article a while back, and posted it here.
It ran out all the costs of illegals; the war on drugs, the strain on the health Care system for the states, the government programs, etc. The cost was OVER 600 billion dollars. Per annum.
You know, if they were holding American flags instead, I'd be a little more inclined to walk a mile in their shoes.
What I want is prosecution of all those that have used FALSE social security numbers to gain employment. These are not the honest hard working people doing what Americans won't do. They are felons period.
why doesn't ICE just go visit these rallies? seems like they are trying to make the government's job (unintentionally) easier by congregating large amounts of illegals into one place
too bad the government doesn't want to do its job though…
You are the greatest, Bob!

I look at the photo's on this thread, and become enraged.
What do I see?
I see gang members.
Footsoldiers of the Mexican Drug Cartels.
Packmules, dealers and distributors.
That is just my comments on the males.
When I look at the females, I see breeders.
Period.
Combined, I see the future voting block of the Democratic Party.
Is my analysis harsh?
You be the judge.
Is it correct?
You bet it is.
Viva La Revolution' !
Viva Cloward and Piven!

He is an excellent contributor.
Yea, I read that. I spend so much time arguing with the ignorant, and when I bring that up they still don't belive it. "If it was true it would be in the news." sigh.
Thank you.
Well, at least your head is screwed on right on THIS topic.
Which shows how easily people like you can be fooled. How many times will you fall for this?
demands are always being made by those who haven't earned…
The entitlement society- which is,of course, Stage One of the deconstruction of Capitalism- inculcates people with the 'let the other guy pay for it' mentality that is needed to foment revolutions. So, their little plan is happily (for them) on track.
Problem is things don't alway work out as planned. As Von Clausewitz said, 'the plans for war change as soon as the first shot is fired'. So, too is this. The natives are getting restless,and The Powers That Be are now in full panic mode.
The only way The Plan can be instituted now is if something BIG changes our attentions.
Expect that over the coming months…
Agreed. That's why these "rallies" rankle me. They don't want American citizenship, they want American entitlements.
The Muslim problem should be deported with them.
Mr. Parks,
A MOST excellent analogy and perfect pitch on the tune you are singing.
We do NOT have an immagration problem, we have an enforcement problem!
dcase,
The good news is that "No plan survives contact with the enemy".
I detect MANY more people are aware of their "plan" than they suspect….
We should be just as compassionate as the Mexicans themselves. Under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals.
The law also says Mexico can deport foreigners who are deemed detrimental to "economic or national interests," violate Mexican law, are not "physically or mentally healthy" or lack the "necessary funds for their sustenance" and for their dependents.
The illegals are just like an invading army, but instead of using guns and troops, they are using 5th Columnist politicians, numbers, and American's goodwill against us. I say, if your hear illegal, get arrested and deported. End of discussion. As to the Border, tons of barbwire, some land mines, and a few machine guns at vulnerable spots. Cruel??? Excuse me, but my country is under attack, and the traditional thing to do is to defend your country from hordes trying to conquer it.
I live in Texas and let me tell you I'm sick to death of seeing all these Mexican flags everywhere in my state! I live in the northern part of Texas no where near the border too. When you march on Washington holding Mexican flags my blood boils! Get out of my country and go back to Mexico. If you are so proud to be a Mexican then why aren't you living there. What has gotten lost in this entire illegal immigration debate is this, what motivation does a population of a country have to clean up its own corrupt government when they can just run over to the US and live there? How will Mexico ever become a republic without the populace rising up and correcting the problems there? Also it is extremly short sighted of the US government to continue to allow this illegal immigration on many moral grounds but also on security grounds as well. Right now the Mexican drug cartels are taking over the country and the violence is escalating. Does the US really want the equivalent to a Palistinian state right next door? I say kick em all out parents and kids. That way they can display their Mexican flags proudly…..in Mexico!
Bravo! Short to the point and true.
especially those who are waving Mexican flags…..
Reasonable analogy. Difficult to argue against. Unfortunately if you are a left wing social elitist who knows best. You understand the kids are victims period and you don't mind in the least forcing, me an innocent citizen to pay for criminal activity of some kids mom and dad. Infact you somehow believe i should feel and be duty bound to do so. That makes you sick, stupid, anti american and most likely calling spades spades a communist.
Fooled? Oh wise one, please enlighten me as to how exactly I have been hoodwinked. I bow to your infinite wisdom.
I hate to consider females in the above light. But then facts bear it out. I have always tried to face facts, weed out excuses.
tic…tic…tic…………
I think the analogy is more akin to receiving stolen property. It isn't an offsprings' fault their parent committed the crime – but they should not be benefitting from it. Living in America has value. For immigrants, that benefit is gained by going thru the immigration process.
We need the process reformed. We need the borders secured. We need to hold law-breakers accountable.
Amigo,
My head is screwed on right, on just about every topic, with perhaps the exception of Victoria Jackson. Here is a bit of friendly advice. Grasp your left ear with your left hand, and your right ear with your right hand, and give your head a jerk. With luck, you;ll pull it out of your ass.
There are only two places I want to see a Mexican flag……..flying over an embasy, or draped over a coffin……
I wonder what it is about illegal alien that the illegal aliens do not understand.
You notice how the federal government seems to be at the root of all America's ills? And why the founders cautioned us about the insanity of vesting power in some gigantic federal government, it always turns on you.
Years ago, I had a place on the Rio Grande, but still lived in North Texas. You just described why I left Texas and moved to Montana.
they are aware of this- and the simple fact that the sheer numbers work against them. Take the polls. There is a hard core 27% that support all of this. If you break THAT down you'll find about half of that are clueless 'hangers on' like college students. Ultimately if one whittles a bit you can get this down to about ONE IN TEN. Then there is the elite vs the minion class. So now make it, say, one in a hundred.
That's Barry, and Holdren, and Emanuel, Billy Ayers- so obviously they can't be 'outed' or else they would be consumed by their own. Humanists turn on each other at the drop of a hat. This metric will give a little insight as to the 'people math' of the movement.
It's not in their favor- decidedly so…
Ditto.
very pithy, Deus…
If your perception is so shallow that merely waving an American flag is enough to fool you then you are a liability to yourself and others/
I'm a little pithed off……….
They want America. And they will ethnically cleanse you.
I can have a civil conversation with an illegal immigrant just so long as they don't insist on grabbing their crotch and calling me a puta.
All throughout history they have always been seen as that in every culture. The only exception is some in America in the last 40 years or so.
ever try amatuer night at the local comedy club?…
'Now showing- the lethal comic stylings of (drum roll, please) DEUS EX MACHINA! Let's hear it for him, ladies and gentlemen…

(pause)
'In his neck!' Bada boom…
The FIRST STEP in "IMMIGRATION REFORM"…………………
is to CLOSE THE DAMN BORDERS…………….
then we'll talk about what to do will the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN OUR COUNTRY.
land mines and grenades wouldn't hurt, either.
ok, actually they WOULD hurt, but that's the point
Something we should consider. How about deporting liberals?Or at least those liberals that refused to enforce existing law? Ok, I know…but can't we just consider?
The one word of our language they think they truly understand is ENTITLEMENT. Let's see if they like 2 new words: DEBT & DEPORTATION
Part of being a citizen is to obey the laws of the land.
Can anyone explain why the media does not confront these people and ask them "Why if you are the best, brightest and most hard working of a people do you find it acceptable to abandon your homeland in search of money while your homeland you seem to love so much goes to hell?"
The reason why Mexico is a pile of crap right now is because these people want our money rather than take some pride in their country. If you love it so much then go back and make it a better place. You would rather take the easy road and beg for our scraps then take pride and do the hard work of making Mexico great.
They are not out protesting the killings and violence in their country are they? They are not out demanding their government take a stand. They are not out lending their police and community a hand. No that would take courage. Instead they hide like cowards in this country and demand scraps from the table we built.
Cowards all of them. It takes so little to motivate an American to do the right thing. Why does it take everyone else so much?
America is a nation of immigrants. Since the first European immigrants landed at Jamestown, America has drawn its strength from energetic, ambitious people from all over the world. However, America is also a nation of laws. We must have a lawful process of immigration and should not enact policies that encourage illegal immigration. The last time a “one time” amnesty plan was passed, it was signed into law under the explicit promise that government would also secure the border and implement an effective employer identification program to ensure only legal workers are hired. Obviously, these promises were not kept, which is why we hear today an endless parade of new amnesty proposals from the left.
We must insist the government live up to its promise to the American people to secure the border and adequately police business hiring. Any new worker visa program created to incorporate those illegal immigrants in the US with steady employment must be designed in a high tech way to make forgery impossible. Furthermore, we must insist on patriotic assimilation for new immigrants by making English the official language of government and insisting new immigrants learn English.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
John Quincy Adams
I see what you did there, and I must say, your grasp of the english language leads me to believe it's not your first. I will give you a few minutes to read my comment again….
Ok, presuming you have indeed done so, do we both understand what the phrase "a little more inclined" means? You can go ahead and take it out of context if you'd like, I don't mind.
Running amok, waving the Mexican flag around, while condemning the US way of life, because they are not legally able to have it does nothing to alleviate my desire to have them leave. Should they come out and say something along the lines as "We understand the issue here and would like to pursue a legal avenue to become citizens in YOUR country" , I'd be more inclined to NOT dismiss them outright.
I hope we understand each other now and would appreciate it greatly if you would abstain from insulting people to get your point across. You wouldn't want to be dismissed as a troll now would you?
Go ahead, run along and play now. It's safe.
I may just have to do that….
I'm seriously thinking of hanging up my spurs…….but not my guns……
I wake up in the morning and feel every hit I've taken…..getting a little old for this shit….
Anyway, there may just be one more battle left in me…..I did swear that oath…
Perfect example of what illegals and anchor kids become and threats we crackers our on our last breath
No surprise that this wetback wants illegal drugs to be legal and promotes this to a black dope pusher obama
LOS ANGELES – Mexican-American actor Richard Anthony "Cheech" Marin is slamming the Arizona immigration law as little more than an attempt to hold on to “white culture.”
“It’s ridiculous; it’s the last gasp of white culture,” he told Pop Tarts at the Los Angeles launch last week of Disney Pixar's online "World of Cars." “Reactionaries and Congress (are to blame) only because they think that's the way of getting votes. We'll stir up the rabble! If you take the Mexicans out of Arizona, Arizona is going to collapse the next day.”
But it’s not only the immigration law with which Marin takes issue. The "Up in Smoke" star would also like to see marijuana legalized.
According to Marin, President Obama is doing enough to support the fight for marijuana legalization by "not prosecuting" those who use medical marijuana, but he'd like to see the president live up to his campaign of "hope" and devote some attention to America's economic crisis.
"In (Obama's) administration, I'd like to see marijuana legalized and I'd like to see him keep working to straighten out the economy, because at the end of the day, no matter how highfalutin your philosophy is, if the economy isn't working, then the country isn't happening," Marin said.
It’s no surprise Marin is advocating the legalization of marijuana, considering he achieved international stardom for his pot-promoting antics as one half of the "Cheech & Chong" comedy duo. And now that the legalization of marijuana is becoming a very real possibility, the 64-year-old is convinced everyone else shares his passion.
"Vote! Just vote, because if everyone thinks marijuana should be legalized, it'll pass with flying colors," Marin said of Proposition 19, which would legalize the drug.
Marin believes that the drug has yet to become legal across the country due to lobbying from law enforcement officials who fear that, without it being considered a criminal offense, they will be unemployed. And anyone who opposes the recreational use of his favorite herb?
"Don't do it, don't vote! It's a democratic process, and nobody is forcing marijuana down anybody's throats, and nobody is forcing beer down anybody's throat,” he said. “They can go and have a beer or martini, so I should be able to smoke a joint if I want one.”
In a report authored by the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws, reliable scientific research has concluded that driving while under the influence of pot impairs vision and slows reaction time. But unlike alcohol detection, law enforcement currently lacks the technology to accurately determine offenders.
“If I want to sit home and smoke a joint and play guitar or watch TV, I should be able to do that,” he said.
you can take the man out of the battle…
But you just can't take the battle out of the man. Like Pike and his gang in 'The Wild Bunch'. Time comes and you just automatically strap on the shooting irons.
You just do…
What? You mean there are consequences for our actions?
PS Americans do not like being nudged either. We prefer to evaluate pros & cons and make our own decisions.
"If you are so proud to be a Mexican then why aren't you living there?" FREE STUFF and if you are a violent criminal who gets caught, American prisons are safer and much nicer.
Love the sign"Freedom is Dead"…don't look that way to me..Free to assemble,Free to protest,Free to fly the Mexican Flag…Idiots
..We close the borders tight both Southern and Northern borders..Nobody IN. Next we legalize all undocumented persons here. You get your S/S card and Id papers etc,etc.. Next we granish your wages for 5-8 years(that's for breaking our law). Now we do have an option for those who don't want their wages granished…3-4 years of military service. And if your to old for military service..Tuff shit you weren't supposed to be here in the first place…
You notice that sign too?
Damn that pisses me off.
just bitchen'….
I'll feel better, after my workout……the endorphins help with the pain…
Who am I fooling…..I'm addicted to the rush…..I could never completely retire….
really can't imagine you at Dell Webb…
And considering that ALL of our paramours are at least 20 years younger they would look out of place at the pool- so not a good fit for us, either.
'retire' means to replace some Goodyears around here…
Tell them to get their heads out of the NY Times' ass and find some real news sources.
What, do you want to start WWIII? How can we in good conscience dump those idiots on anyone else?
I remember those protests. Some moron was interviewed and said foreign flags at protests are common, he pointed to an Israeli demonstration around the same time.
Idiot, those Israeli protesters were demonstrating Israel's solidarity with America, they weren't protesting against America.
Ditto from a mostly third generation legal immigrant. (One side goes back to the Civil War).
Oh yeah. I wasn't thinking clearly.
What did Gen. Eisenhower have to say on that? Something like battle plans are all well and good till the fighting starts.
This ghetto trash needs to go back home to Mexico and lobby their own govt over their grievances.
All I've been saying for a long time now is that we should just have immigration laws and enforcement like Mexico has.
Go to the grocery stores. We are inundated.
Notice the Foreign Flag being waved while demanding that they become citizens. Students of any background are idiots. They donnt know shit about life. Thats why they all voted for Obamma
some people are just destined to die with their boots on…..
Actually the Middle East would be a good location for them. Then they could enjoy the benefits of sharia law in all it's Allah blessed glory! Bet they would be pining for the "good ole days" of living in America under the Constitution!!!
You forgot: Viva La Raza!!!
I see, he/she/it is suffering from that dreaded progressive disease CRIS!
ok, Errol Flynn…
Make ours a size 12 or so. Tony Llama…
I'm with ya there old man. I feel every hit every morning and throughout every day. And I guarantee that I have more than one battle left in me.
Those aren't boots, they're water skies!!!
I thought retire meant "change the field of battle" to a better location!
got me there….
I'm just a little fella…size 10 Danners, 5" 11",185 lbs, 32" waist…..
mother once said to the shoe salesman: 'Keep the shoes, he'll take the box'… lovely sense of humor, there…
Hell, if I ever let the guys I work with know how I feel…….
nothing 'little' about that; just that we're big galoots, here- 6'4", 230, uh, 36 waist last we checked…
that was a year or two ago…
It's known as KARMA. Another term that has been perverted by the progressives.
Only one change to your proposal. We provide them with work visas, tax IDs and their embassy provides them with passports for the visa. Then they can start the process for residency IAW our immigration law. Once they receive residency then they are on the clock like any other immigrant, for five years, before being allowed to apply for citizenship. IOW enforce our current laws instead of transforming them into progressive paradise.
Kinda sounds like me and my brother. I am 5'9", 170, 32 waist while he is 6'1", 370, 54" shoulders, who knows on the waist.
I don't mind them knowing because I still run circles around them and my 22 y/o son although my daughter (being a Marine) has just about caught up.
Gotta love a sense of humor. Mine always wondered why my brother (5 years younger) was almost as tall as me. Seems she forgot how big he was when born, 12lbs10oz.
370!!
We knew our size might be problematic when Col Miller looked us over in Airborne school and said:
' aren't you a little big for a paratrooper?'
There are more than a few times we wished to be 5'10", for sure…
Seems to me that most people at Airborne school (Jan 78) were closer to your size then mine. I know I wished I was bigger when they wanted me to carry the M60. Usually I lobbied for point and carried my trusty M79.
10.5 Columbia Sportswear Hikers. 34 x 34 Levi 560 Loose, ~6' and currently ~215.
Excellent post.
I wish I was smart enough to have something to add to it.
well, we had the size of a big man but the ankles of a medium sized guy- and, as you well know, the ankles are what takes the licking in Jump School.
You just pray they keep on tickin'…
DXM,
Come on… 21st century man. Use a fricking cell phone dude…
How about drping them down a deep ocean trench? Or a solution like "The Marching Morons "? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marching_Morons
That was my first thought as well.
Obviously they are confused about what country they should be demonstrating fidelity to.
BTW we are currently wearing Merrel's…
the Tony Llama stuff is relegated to the closet with the other 'wannabe' Cowboy stuff. That said, the Cowboy hat here ( a Stetson, natch) we did earn- wore it at amatuer night at the rodeo in Durango, Co.
Yep, rode a bucking bronc. Once.
At least then we can say, yep, earned the right to wear the brim…
I hear ya, the "Airborne shuffle", although us AF types had an advantage, we went through hardcore PT for months before going to Benning.
Like I said, I am on the short end of the line! Used to be 30 x 33 although the waist expanded from old age.
sounds perfectly proportioned to me….
Just recently had a physical….the nurse looked at my age, and thought it was a typo……. then took her time putting on the blood pressure cuff…..
Notice he used embezzlement as the example, but be aware our very own IRS does the same thing. It is ironic that government can enforce the law or not enforce it when it comes to the almighty dollar…right and wrong need not apply.
