Where a lot of Americans see nothing but trouble in the immigration issue, President Bush may see a big chunk of his legacy. After the president’s Tuesday meeting with senators, Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., predicted to The Wall Street Journal that Bush “is really going to lean into this one.” Bush urged Brownback to read Nick Kotz’s “Judgment Days,” which recounts how President Johnson bucked his own Southern Democratic base leading to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. “I think this is Bush’s time as far as affecting millions of people,” Brownback said.

He has already done that, perhaps this time he wants to do it in a good way?
Something HAS to be done..and soon. Consider:
HISPANIC LEADERS SPEAK OUT!
Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets; “Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die . . . Through love of having children, we are going to take over.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council. “They’re afraid we’re going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They’re right. We will take them over . . . We are here to stay.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Excelsior, the national newspaper of Mexico, “The AmericanSouthwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, University of Texas; “We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. The explosion is in our population . . . I love it. They are s***** in their pants with fear. I love it.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Art Torres, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, “Remember 187–proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens–was the last gasp of white America in California.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor, “We are politicizing every single one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country . . . I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, “I’m going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn’t like it should leave.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General , “We are practicing ‘La Reconquista’ (The Reconquest) in California.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Professor Fernando Guerra, Loyola Marymount University; “We need to avoid a white backlash by using codes understood by Latinos . . . ”
Consider also:
According to the L.A. Times, Orange County, California is home to
275 gangs with 17,000 members; 98% of which are Mexican and Asian. How’s your county doing? 90% of the Meth / Drug traffic in America comes from the illegal mexican segment in southern California.
Wow, Art torres said that? I bet that some mean spirited “conservative” will try to unfairly portray the dems as being traitors!
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Who are they selling all the drugs to? Perhaps white americans with lots of money and an appetite for getting high?
Forget about oil, STOP BUYING ILLEGAL DRUGS!!!!!!!
heheh. That should put some of my neighbors out of business too.
…and rush too! Was he getting his drugs from the immigrants in florida?
The borders should have been locked down after 9/11. It’s all politics.
My neighbor recently had his house reroofed because of storm damage. The crew doing the work were all Mexicans. I asked the boss to give me a price on reroofing the front half of my house.My roof has a 12/12 pitch (very steep) and three dormers.In so many words he let me know he was not interested. I appears they will not do the hard stuff, they prefer working only on the low pitch, easy roofs.The same thing happened to me two years on the back half of my house and I ended up having to do it myself. It looks like that is what I will have to do to the front half.Bushytail says “Mexicans are doing work that American workers won’t do”In this case we (me) Americans have to do work the Mexicans won’t do.
Gfun,
What exactly did you expect from those lazy bastards? At most, they would have done a half-assed job anyway.
“Bush urged Brownback to read Nick Kotz’s “Judgment Days,” which recounts how President Johnson bucked his own Southern Democratic base leading to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.”
And we all know what a fine legacy LBJ left us with – wellfare programs that kept the poor in poverty, affirmative action, a broken down education system, etc…
Take note of the companies that hire temp workers or shut down to show solidarity with illegal aliens on Monday. Perhaps it’s time American citizens started showing solidarity for the “rule of law” and begin byocotting companies that prefer to show solidarity with law breakers.
These companies claim they can’t survive without hiring illegals to do the work that “Americans won’t do.” This is a fallicous argument that can be easily refuted. To suggest that Americans are not willing to do an honest days work for an honest days wages in insulting. Companies making this argument are trying to skirt the laws of supply and demand by subsidizing their labor costs with cheap labor. If job seekers are offered fair wages, determined by the laws of supply and demand, willing “legal” workers will flock to fill them.
It is time to show companies that they had better pay more attention to American citizens, who just so happen to be their customers. It is time we see who it is tougher to get along without, customers or illegal employees.
KFG-
They are selling meth to the gang bangers who then steal to be able to buy more meth. Simple…
Monday, May 1 is the day the illegals have set aside to attack the one thing that brought them here, OUR economy. They are going to show their ’strength’ by not buying anything or going to work.
We can counter that…by shopping on May 1. No need to buy a house, car, or spend your entire inheritance. Just little things by millions will more than offset this latest ‘protest’. Buy your groceries on the 1st, take your spouse out to dinner, etc.
It is time we took back our country.
How can they be “attacking our economy” unless they have become an important part OF our economy? As I understand it all they are proposing to do on Monday is to remove themselves FROM the economy for a day. IF they are an important part of that economy then their action (if followed through) will show that importance. IF they are not an important part (or if not followed through) then their actions will have little or no impact.
A lot of those drugs are sold to white suburbia kids.
I say let them remove themselves from the economy permanently while there are still any worker rights at all left.
OK
Now I am hearing that the spanish version of the national athem is not just the national anthem in spanish.
It has been REWORDED?? Can anyone find a link to this so we can see the “new” lyrics?I think we are entitled to see them translated.
It is called Nuestro Himno if that helps.
The illegals and their supporters may just have finally jumped the shark.
Outrageous!
JR,
Here you go. I have maintianed that this will all end in mass bloodshed and you all can disregard my warnings at your own peril.

Verse 1
Oh say can you see, a la luz de la aurora/Lo que tanto aclamamos la noche al caer? Sus estrellas, sus franjas flotaban ayer/En el fiero combate en senal de victoria,/Fulgor de lucha, al paso de la libertada,/Por la noche decian: “Se va defendiendo!”
Coro: Oh, decid! Despliega aun su hermosura estrellada,/Sobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada?
Chant:
It’s time to make a difference the kids, men and the women/Let’s stand for our beliefs, let’s stand for our vision/What about the children los ninos como P-Star
These kids have no parents, cause all of these mean laws.
See this can’t happen, not only about the Latins.
Asians, blacks and whites and all they do is adding
more and more, let’s not start a war
with all these hard workers,
they can’t help where they were born.
Verse 2
Sus estrellas, sus franjas, la libertad, somos iguales
Somos hermanos, es nuestro himno.
En el fiero combate en senal de victoria,/Fulgor de lucha, al paso de la libertada,/Por la noche decian: “Se va defendiendo!”
Coro: Oh, decid! Despliega aun su hermosura estrellada,/Sobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada?
Listen to the anthem here.

Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Sheesh there must be more than one. I just heard the lyrics read on the radio and they were completely different than that Ian.
But that version was also a a whiny rant.
This is too much. Unbelievable!
JR,
Just a bit of friendly advice here, but you might want to rethink your anti-gun stance in the near future. I’m just sayin’, if you know what I mean?
V.L.R.B!!
The “Illegal Immigrant Anthem” is nothing but pancho’s way of giving every American the finger.
Anything less than total deportation is amnesty!!!
11 million illegals..in a country of close to 300 million people. Do they really want to start a race war with those odds?
I think a day without wetbacks is great but I would prefer 10 years or an eternity without them as that would be even better.
My name is Edgar J. Steele. This is a Nickel Rant.
Monday, May 1, has been dubbed “A Day Without Mexicans” by those who seek to show the rest of us just how essential those wonderfully “productive and law-abiding guest workers” from south of the border have become to America.
Predictably, I have a different take on the whole affair.
First of all, my version is called “A Day Without Meskins,” the way it properly should be pronounced. Sloppy. Slurred. Offensive.
Now let’s take a look at all the ways that America would be different without Meskins stretching as far as the eye can see.
Immigrants without a high-school diploma (is there any other kind?), whether legal or not, cost America nearly $90,000 each more in government services than paid in taxes during their lifetimes (per the National Research Council).
Lessee now, that’s 30 million so far, probably twice that, actually, times $90,000, for a total of $2,700,000,000,000. That’s $2.7 trillion dollars, a sum so huge that practically nobody yet even hears the word trillions used in anything except accumulated national debt. That leaves about 270 million Americans holding the bag, or approximately 90 million households, at least half of which pay little or no income taxes whatsoever. In which half do you find yourself and your family?
If you are among those paying taxes, you will end up paying somewhere between $60,000 and $90,000 to them (and that’s just for the Meskins that already are here, not the ones flooding over the border in ever-increasing numbers every day because of Bush’s demand for amnesty, refusal to enforce immigration laws and characterization of those of us who complain as “vigilantes”).
That’s nearly $100,000 from you to them so that Pedro and his extended family of 24 living in a 6-room house can blare loud Mariachi music next door at all hours of the day, throw empty beer cans onto your lawn, sell drugs to your kids after threatening and beating them up at school, where your kids get stupider every day because Pedro’s kids don’t speak English, because Pedro won’t speak English, which, together with the fact that their average IQ approaches that of Blacks, forces teachers to teach to the class bottom, which is so far below your kids that they never will learn anything useful in school, but you won’t notice because both you and your wife are so busy working two jobs each to pay the bills, including the medical bills for injuries sustained when Pedro’s uninsured car ran into your wife’s car and counseling for your sister, who got raped by Pedro’s cousin last year while unlocking the front door of her house, coming home late from her second job, in what used to be a nice, quiet little neighborhood but which now regularly experiences drive-by gang shootings.
So, in our first day without Meskins, we cut our existing national debt by somewhere between one third and one half!
We save enough money so that, when invested, it allows our wives to stay home with the kids and funds our retirement.
Because Pedro no longer is available to work for beans and tacos, we get paid a living wage and only have to work a single job.
Teachers get to teach again, rather than referee dustups and translate nonstop from English to Meskin.
Our kids get smarter and better educated, thereby qualifying for better jobs and lives than we have had the sense to obtain.
The beatings, muggings, robberies, rapes and murder of our honest citizens goes down by at least half, with resultant savings, both medical and psychic, that are huge.
Over half of American Blacks now unemployed get jobs and stop adding to the general chaos.
We close 35% of all the prisons in America.
We get rid of at least a quarter of all the judges and lawyers in America.
Hundreds of hospitals, closed because of legally-required free health care for illegals, reopen their doors and, when we need an Emergency Room, one is available with no waiting line composed of sniffling Meskins.
Uninsured auto accidents fall to next to nothing.
Our kids get part-time and summer jobs.
Kennedy and McCain get run out of town on a rail.
We don’t experience hostility and surliness with every encounter of a gardener, service station attendant or simply standing in line at the post office.
America’s level of formerly eradicated diseases, like leprosy and Bubonic Plague, again subsides to nothing.
Our old folks get to eat something other than dog food for a change.
We no longer endlessly have to pick up tons of trash and plastic milk cartons full of Meskin urine simply tossed alongside roads.
We refugees in our own country can move back to the more desirable places to live, such as Northern and Southern California.
We can turn our full attention to our real domestic enemies – you know who you are.
No more Meskins rioting and marching in our streets demanding rights they don’t deserve and that we no longer have, either.
No more Meskin leaders telling us it is our duty to die and let them take over.
No more Meskin flags flying above American flags at our public schools.
A Day Without Meskins. I could get used to this in a hurry. Yep. I think it’s a great idea. Better yet, a week…a month…a year…a lifetime. Yeah. A lifetime. Great idea. Goodbye, Pedro. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Oh…and Remember the Alamo, Pedro, because I guarantee you that it’s lesson has not been lost on me or countless others like myself!

Viva La Raza Blanco!!Viva La Revolucion Blanco!!!Deportacion Total!!!!
Folks, is your problem with illegal immigrants who happen to be Mexican, or Mexicans who happen to be illegal immigrants?
A whole helluva lot of the above sounds unmistakably like the latter.
If this were any other country, the media would automatically portray illegal immigration between countries a heinous despicable crime. Let’s say 12 million Canadians illegally emigrated to Japan and demanded rights entitled solely for the Japanese citizen. Do you know what would happen? Those Canadians would be the laughingstock of the media, and would be promptly shipped across the Pacific to Canada. But oh my God! We can’t live in a world where Americans can deport illegal aliens! Oh no! That’s not PC enough for the avante garde leftist liberals who compare a fence on the border to the Berlin wall, or troop deployment and enforcement of the border as comparative to the Gestapo!
This whole Day Without A Mexican is a misnomer! There are still gonna be Mexicans here causing traffic and pandemonium in the streets! If it is really gonna be A Day Without A Mexican, then maybe they ought to LEAVE!!!
I have no problem with any immigrant who has come into our country legally. How do the illegals think they have any rights? If they are protesting today, why not round them all up and march them back across the border…..works for me.
Rage, I totally agree, but it is impossible to get anyone on this blog to consider that LEGAL mexican immigrants will still be practicing their culture here long after the illegals are gone.
All that spanish you hear spoken, all the music on the radio, all the service people who dont speak, or pretend not to speak english, competition for jobs requiring no education, all those irritations will still be here long after the illegals are gone.
And I repeat, as a member of the most recently hated and detested minority in kansas, it sure feels good to have someone lower to kick around, doesnt it? I am SO GLAD gays are no longer the number one threat to “our way of life”.
Maybe a constitutional amendment is in order. I suggest republicans introduce one in both the kansas legislature and in washington d.c.
After all, just plain old immigration laws arent good enough. And a proposed constitutional amendment would drive the base to the polls, right? So why are the cons not doing it?
Kansas… where hispanics are the new gays.
I still get nervous anytime anyone suggests “rounding up” any group of people.
Achtung, Achtung,
I implore everyone to check out the following site; it is time that we boycott the companies in Kansas and nationwide that hire illegals! It is time that we punish these traitors to the point that their cheap labor becomes very expensive!http://www.wehirealiens.com/results.asp
viva La Raza Blanco!!!
Regarding the national anthem in Spanish, In parts of the southwest, we have Spanish-speaking families that have lived there since 1580 (that’s 40 years before the Mayflower).Secondly, the tune for our anthem came from a British drinking song, “Oh, Albion”, which was reputed to be unsingable while sober.Thirdly, the early congress came within a vote or two of making Hebrew our national language (being still somewhat incensed at the British).Let’s not get too Anglocentric.
PEOPLE FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE SENDING BRICKS TO THEIR CONGRESSMEN..I FOUND THIS WEB PAGE WHERE YOU CAN SEND A BRICK TO YOUR CONGRESSMEN TO LET THEM KNOW THAT: When our borders are secure, only then can we discuss other aspects of the illegal immigration issue..http://www.send-a-brick.com/brick.htm.Like they say, sometimes you have to use a brick to get their attention!!
