Yet another illegal alien march against HR 4437

This one was on Long Island and featured on the other side:

- Luis Valenzuela, executive director of the Long Island Immigrant Alliance, ("an immigrant advocacy group")

- Hempstead Village Deputy Mayor Henry Conyers

- Edison Severino of the Manhattan-based Local 78 of the Asbestos, Lead and Hazardous Waste Laborers

Reporting was by Bart Jones of Newsday.

And, they've got a cute new talking point!

"We're here on George Washington's birthday to demonstrate our moral outrage against this un-American bill," said Luis Valenzuela, executive director of the Long Island Immigrant Alliance, an immigrant advocacy group. "Our founding father would be turning over in his grave if he knew what was happening."

Valenzuela's group is mentioned here as having a link to the New York Immigration Coalition. Even worse, they have an indirect (and perhaps even direct) link to the local Mexican consul. And, he dares mention George Washington? If this group had pulled this same deal in Washington's time I hesitate to think what would have happened.

And, as Bart informs us:

The bill is provoking street protests among immigrants and activists from Boston to Miami to California. In Philadelphia, some restaurant workers stayed home on Valentine's Day. The same day, the foreign ministers of Mexico, Colombia, Panama and El Salvador flew to Washington to meet with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and voice alarm over the bill.

We really can't afford to have foreign citizens - some with ties to the governments of those countries - agitating and protesting inside our country.

Previous coverage of this latest round of marches starts in "Send illegals home - pronto!" and "Illegal aliens, supporters to march on Washington".

UPDATE: Here's another one from Delaware. Chicken processor Perdue Farms appears to be hinting that it employs illegal aliens.

This guy is an idiot. His rant has only twisted facts. George Washington was not an immigrant. He was born in Virginia in 1732. That made him a citizen of the colony of Virginia which was one of the original 13. 'Native Americans' were here first. However, the early British colonist did not fight their way onshore and take their settlements from the Native Americans.

Immigrants are not a fundamental part of the American economy and society. We could deport them all and over come the shortfall. Also Hispanic immigrants make an effort to remain outside American society. They want to maintain Spanish and force us to cater to them with bilingual programs which do not lead to English fluency, ie: Driving test in Spanish.

We are not racists at all. Any move on our part to control our border and regulate who can enter our country is percieved by Mexicans as racists. Mexican citizens want to manipulate our borders and immigration law to their benefit. We do not intervene with the harsh regulation of the Mexican border with Guatemala.

I have read our constitution. Like most immigrants you do not get it. Our constitution is considered a 'LIVING DOCUMENT' because - Read my LIPS: IT CAN BE CHANGED! The change is called an A-MEND-MENT TO THE CONSTITUTION.

Under our liberal system it has been ruled by the courts that while illegal immigrants are on American soil they are protected by the constitution. However, no where in the constitution does it grant any Mexican the devine right to come to this country via the manner of HIS choosing!

Mexican immigrants cause tremndous harm. Not just criminal. In L.A. during the last month they had several inmate riots initiated by Hispanics, many of whom are here illegally. The schools are in trouble. Academic achievement is at it's lowest level ever. Caucasian enrollment is at it's lowest level ever. So much so that Bussing may end next fall because there are not enough Caucasian students. The schools have a total enrollment of 877,010 (Per KTLA.com). Hispanics are 73% of that number or 640,210. The district is frantically building 125 new schools on all levels to accomodate the Hispanic onslaught. The cost of one child per year in this district is $10,000. White & Black families are at ZPG, rarely having more than 2 children. Hispanics have an average of 5. Tell me that mommy working as a maid and daddy hanging out at Home Depot for day work offsets the $50,000 that is spent to educate children who are the responsibility of Mexico. That alone detracts form the education we can give our children who belong here and have no other country to return to.

There is a finite amount of work, housing, food, water etc.. Every job taken by an illegal immigrant is one less opportunity for citizens and legal residents. Immigrants take those jobs by under bidding citizens. You are not doing work that Americans will not do. You are working so cheaply that Americans CANNOT afford to work at that rate. We do not enjoy living 19 people in a house. So we need a higher wage.

Once more there is no law or devine act that entitles the first Mexican to come to this country for work. You have an entire country all to yourselves. If you are that hard working why not create opportunities exclusive to Mexicans in YOUR country!

Native Americans were here first, no one argues that. However, Aztecs and Incas were NEVER HERE. Aztec civilization never extended beyond what is now modern Mexico. The Inca civilization was in what is now Peru, South America. By virtue of your own argument and your digs at Europe, the Aztecs and Incas have less claim to the modern United States of America than anyone. They did not have the motivation to travel 1,000's of miles 500 years ago. They never set foot in the USA!

History: Texas, New Mexico, California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Colorado & I do not remember off hand whether Montana & Wyoming were a part of it. However, these states once belonged to Spain. Spain went out and claimed them. Mexico was nothing more than Spains base of operations. When Mexico declared it's independence and defeated Spain it acquired all that Spain viewed as it's Mexican area of operations. In short order the USA asked to purchase everything north of the Rio Grande. Mexico refused, war ensued. The USA defeated Mexico with a small force. Mexico had a huge army with lousy generals. Our officer corp was Westpoint trained and proved themselves in this war. Prior to this congress was on the verge of closing the academy. It cost too much.

What always gets me with this argument is how Mexicans only see half of it. By defeating Spain Mexico took it's holdings. Well the same rule applied: By defeating Mexico the USA owned all that Mexico held. We could have kept Mexico and your butts would be speaking English. You would also be US citizens by birth. But we did not want Mexico so we gave it back. We only kept that land north of the Rio Grande. We then turned around and paid Mexico for it just so there were no hard feelings. Did Mexico pay Spain for the land it took? (No)

Mexicans are very predjudice. They are constantly jumping on blacks. You are wrong again. Where do you think the term 'Redneck' came from. White guys busting their collective asses in the agricultural field under the hot sun. For reasons of race their exposed necks tended to burn beet red.

Mexicans want to put forth the argument that we could not eat without you. Have you ever seen starving Americans because we could not grow and harvest our own food? We did it before you came and we will do it when you leave!

Latinos are the only group of immigrants that are a pain. When have you heard lip service from Irish, Kenyan, Japanese or Greek? You work for less than a dollar because your over supply of cheap labor forces rates into the toilet. You have done it to yourselves in an effort to force citizens out of the targeted job market.

To be honest your family in Mexico that you created because you did not have sense enough to see that you were in a poor third world country that lacked opportunity - is your problem! You should have limited yourself to one child. But no you had to have eight. Your choice - your problem. Your move to undercut and take a job here impacts our ability to provide a better life for our fanilies! Where are we supposed to go for a job - Mexico?

You went through a long rant about racism. However, there is a key phrase that racists use freely: YOU PEOPLE! Guess who is the racist?

All of the technology does not come from Asia. The USA continues to lead the world in technology. What you see from Asia is frequently USA technology manufactured at a lower labor rate and shipped back to this country.

All of the best oil is not in the middle east. The middle east has the largest reserves of oil. That is what gives them clout. It is the amount of oil they can bring to market. However it is much better in quality than Mexican oil, too much sulfur.

Cultural diversity has it's place. However, Mexicans are not attempting to become a part of the whole. Mexicans want to dominate and take credit for building this country. Well guess what, you could not build it if you were not here!

This country was founded in 1776 there have not been significant numbers of Mexicans until recent decades.

For the record - I am an American of African decent. My ancestors have been in this country 200+ years. Do your homework!

FYI NOT EVEN THAT WASHINGTON GUY BELONGED IN USA IN THE FIRST PLACE...WHO WERE HERE FIRST? THE INDIAN AMERICANS..SO DONT COME UP WITH THAT GET RID OF IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE WE KNOW VERY WELL THAT THEY FORM A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF UNITED STATES ECONOMY AND SOCIETY. HOW RACIST CAN YOU PEOPLE BE? HOW UNCONSTITUTIONAL IS TODAYS GOVERNMENT GETTING? READ THE CONSTITUTION OVER AGAIN IDIOTS!!! NOTHING CAN BE CHANGED IN THE CONSTITUTION..NOTHING!! READ THE FIRST AMMENDMENT!!! WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIBERTY..TO SPEECH...AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS...IMMIGRANTS COME FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM AND ONLY FOR THAT..MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS DO NOT CAUSE ANY HARM!! THEY COME HERE TO WORK...SO IF YOU CAUCASSIANS GO BACK TO YOUR ANCESTRAL TREE YOU PEOPLE COME FROM EUROPE!!!! AZTECS, INCAS, AND AMERICAN INDIANS WERE HERE FIRST!! AND ANOTHER HISTORY OUTLINE...TEXAS, NEW MEXICO, AND CALIFORNIA BELONGED TO MEXICO!!! AND OBVIOUSLY IT WAS STOLEN OR BOUGHT..THIS IS DIRTY!!! HOW MINDLESS CAN YOU PEOPLE BE!!! MEXICANS ARE NOT THE ONLY IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES....LIKE IT OR NOT....LATINOS ARE NOT PREJUDICE WHEN IT COMES TO WORKING..IM SURE YOU DONT SEE A CAUCASSIAN WORKING IN THE AGRICULTURAL FIELDS UNDER THE SUN BURNING THIER TAILS OFF FOR LESS THAN A DOLLAR AN HOUR TO SURVIVE AND TO SEND MONEY TO THEIR FAMILIES SO THAT THEY HAVE A BETTER LIVING!!! NO YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT TYPE OF LIFE!! YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK OF THESE PEOPLE..AND YET SOME OF THESE PEOPLE GET DISCRIMINATED AGAINST WHY IS IT THAT YOU CAUCASSIANS THINK THAT YOU ARE SUPERIOR TO EVERYONE ELSE? YOU PEOPLE ARE WRONG, ALL THE TECHNOLOGY COMES FROM ASIA..THE BEST OIL IS IN THE MIDDLE EAST... AND THATS WHAT MAKES USA THE BEST NATION IN THE WOLRD BECAUSE ITS CULTURALLY DIVERSE.....DONT TAKE ALL THE CREDIT FOR YOURSELVES!!!

George Washington would have had us out of Nato, and our troops based overseas onto the border. He would have quickly slapped down the effrontery of foreign criminals who became known. A lot of traitors would be gone to the gallows, if George Washington could come back.-John S Bolton
The current American Empire has nothing in common with George Washington. It is fitting then that only illegal aliens march on his birthday.
The Empire does have an Official State Deity(something Washington never was), and one used rather cynically, with the name of Martin luther King, Jr. No need to go into the details of plagiarism and sexual overactivity, but obviously a much lesser man than Washington.

I was listening to Tom Tancredo on John and Ken's Show the other day. He states that his fear is that even if his immigration enforcement dream bill were to be passed(stronger than HR 4437) the executive branch would simply fail to enforce. After all, the last several administrations have done the same with existing immigration laws.
