Illegal Protest

H/T to Dan Smerglio of Voice of the People USA for the heads up on this event happening today so that we can listen live to the proceedings.

Go here now to hear the traitors who are continuing to try to give away citizenship to illegal alien invaders LIVE via the STRIVE Act (HR 1645)

There are also people on the panel on the side of American citizens thankfully.. such as Brian Bilbray and speaking now is Rep Steve King.. yay!

Always remember that the invaders will take care of only “their own” and the Anglo majority better get ready for becoming the minority in their own country if they don’t WAKE THE HELL UP. The “immigrants” who are coming here to this country now through the “back door” have no respect for our laws, no respect for our culture, no respect for our language and they will vote against “us” just because we are “not immigrants” in their mind.

Illegal alien Latinos who are able to vote will “stick with their own” whether or not these people are qualified. Anchor babies raised by ILLEGAL ALIEN parents will have allegiance to their parents country not ours and they will be US CITIZENS because of the bastardization of the 14th Amendment and when the wave of anchor babies we have NOW become 18 we better look out.

Immigrants rush to try to get citizenship due to crackdown

DENVER -

In Denver and elsewhere, there’s been a surge in citizenship applications, in part because of anxiety fueled by the contentious debate over illegal immigration.

In Colorado, applicants rose sharply, from 6,364 in 2005 to 8,122 in 2006 to nearly 11,000 in the first half of this year alone. Many people sped up the process to avoid a sharp increase in application fees, to $675 from $400 starting July 30.

In addition to the security of citizenship, many legal immigrants are motivated by the right to vote.”All these people who have been legal residents for so long are waking up and realizing that they have the ability to effect change. They have this enormous untapped power that they’re ready to put to use,” said Marta Moreno, executive director of El Comite de Longmont, a Hispanic advocacy organization.

Ismael Medina, a native of Mexico who has been a legal resident for 20 years, said he is tired of the anti-immigrant rhetoric and is putting on notice lawmakers who have been vocal critics of illegal immigration.

“The politicians think less of us. I want to become a citizen so I can vote for candidates that aren’t against us,” said Medina, 40, who works in construction. “I want to vote so we can change the laws so that they’re more just.” [translation - I want to change the laws so all my familia from Mexico can come here easily ]

Maria Pasillas, also originally from Mexico, said she looked forward to casting her first vote in America.

“I want to vote to help immigrants. Many are losing their jobs because of the political climate. I don’t like the way they’re treated,” said Pasillas, 32, who works at a local Italian bakery. “We’ve all been there. I’ll never forget that. My children will never forget.”

The Latina Initiative, a Denver-based group that helped organize the weekly citizenship classes at area libraries, is part of a national coalition working to get more legal residents to apply for naturalization and eventually registered to vote.

The coalition’s campaign, Ya Es Hora, Ciudadania! (It’s Time, Citizenship!), has also partnered with Moreno’s group.

She said her organization, like the Latina Initiative, is working to get Hispanics involved in local government and schools. She said more than 65 people registered for the last citizenship workshop in July.

“The people we help register for citizenship today, we want them to run for the school board and city council positions tomorrow,” she said. “We’re going to see a whole lot of changes around here soon. Just wait and see.”

Kansas City Star: La Raza Hispanic Activists More Desirable Than Patriot Minutemen?

By Warner Todd Huston | August 31, 2007 - 09:15 ET

Which would you find more desirable in your community: a group that advocates to abide by U.S. law, or one that advocates to break U.S. law? Well, leave it to an American newspaper to present a story as if a member of a group that advocates for America is a less desirable person in the community than a member of a group that promotes ideas against America. In a story on the La Raza Council’s threat to move their annual convention out of Kansas City, Missouri, the Kansas City Star has labeled the patriot group The Minutemen a “militant group” yet nowhere is there harsh labels in their story for La Raza, the Hispanic illegal immigrant advocates. In fact, La Raza is treated like a completely respectable organization throughout the story with the Minutemen treated as if they should be something to be ashamed of.

In June, Kansas City mayor Mark Funkhouser appointed Minuteman Civil Defense member Frances Semler to the Kansas City park board and this has caused the illegal immigrant advocates to threaten to take their convention business elsewhere.

The nation’s largest Hispanic rights group is warning it may cancel its 2009 convention here because of a controversial Kansas City park board member.

As it turns out, this park board member is “controversial” because she wants Federal immigration laws enforced.

The story goes on to call the patriot organization, The Minutemen, a “militant group opposing illegal immigration” and warns that the city would lose up to $15 million in business (coupled with the NAACP pulling their convention, as well) should the La Raza folks pull their convention out of Kansas City. The story gives the La Raza group quite a bit of space to act wounded and regretful that they have to leave the city… unless they are successful in forcing a Missourian legally appointed to a city board to resign.

“It is very troubling that we would be in a position to reconsider but in fact we are,” Murguía said during a trip to Kansas City. “I don’t know there is a way short of her stepping down that we could salvage this. This is offensive on many levels. We want the mayor to understand it is something that sends a very wrong signal to the Hispanic community about what the city represents.”

There is, indeed, something troubling here. That a group based outside of Kansas City should imagine they have the right and power to tell a city who they can and cannot appoint to their city parks board. Now THAT is “troubling,” don’t you think?

It is also troubling that Mrs. Semler is presented throughout the story as the problem and La Raza is constantly presented as the good guys. What is also troubling is that the story presents the politicians in Kansas City as bending over backwards for this La Raza organization. Rick Hughs, head of the Kansas City Convention and Visitors Association, for instance is doing his best to accommodate this La Raza group.

*snip*

Still, is this reasonable behavior from La Raza? Is it reasonable that one person on a city park board is enough of an “outrage” to their sensibilities to force them to pull their business from the city? One person who is in no position to create and nurture city policy is enough for these La Raza radicals to claim foul? Is this the sort of radical organization that Kansas City should want in their town in the first place, one that doesn’t respect the local city fathers, our laws and communities?

Why does the Kansas City Star not plum that angle of the story?

The militant positions of many members of the La Raza styled movements are well known. The founder of a La Raza group, Jose Angel Gutierrez, for instance, once wrote that, “we have got to kill the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to worst, we have got to kill him.” But, we don’t even have to search out any of the extremist views of their most radical members to illustrate how upside down this incident in Kansas City is. All we have to do is go right to the La Raza home page to get a hint of their radical views and policies.

For instance, Janet Murguía, NCLR President and CEO has written in one press release:

“The congressional Republicans’ strategy to scapegoat our community failed overall, and will prove even costlier in the long run by creating a backlash among Latino voters,” she said, noting a shift of 11 percentage points in Latino support for Democrats compared to the midterm elections…”

Again, let me remind you that on public television, The National Council of The Race tries to portray themselves as promoting the enforcement of immigration laws and securing the borders… but you can see here that this is CLEARLY not the case. They are totally for open borders, giving amnesty to lawbreaking illegal aliens and fostering the invasion into our country of millions of illegal alien third world Latinos who they hope to direct and control to ultimately foster the very destruction of this nation as we know it.

Ask me how I REALLY feel about La Raza…
