What are these students protesting for…
by Owen Courrèges · 03/29/2006 12:02 pmwhen they do this?
I’m generally fairly loose on immigration issues, but now I’m getting riled. From HISD sending out buses for these truant protestors, to the Mexican flag flying high above an upside-down American flag on a California high school, to a student being criticized for waving an American flag in Dallas, it’s becoming clear that there’s an element in the US that doesn’t appreciate this country in the least.

If they can walk all the way from school to downtown city hall, they can walk back to Mexico! This is AMERICA where we speak ENGLISH - learn it/love it or get the hell out!
I forwarded this identical picture to everyone in my address book about an hour ago. I’m not just riled, I’m really p***ed. I would like to think this could be the coup de grace for illegal immigration, or a rallying point, but somehow I doubt it.
We are at war!
Why is no one fighting back?
America has become weak!

Im sorry! I said no one….Why are so very few fighting!
Get off your butts folks!
Let’s make Friday “Flag Day” United States Flag Day.
Everyone Send your child to school wearing the “Old Glory” the flag so many have given their life for.
My child is bring a U.S. Flag to school on Friday and I am encouraging all parents to do the same.
I double dare any educrat to send my child home…!!! for bring his flag.
Since it is clear that the TAX PAYERS are going to foot the bill for the bus ride, why didn’t they give them a ride to the boarder with their Mexican Flag and chants of “Mexico, Mexico”!!!!! I would gladly have paid for that!
If Traitor and Treason were too strong before, I am wondering if they are still too strong?
Owen, you are just figuring this out? You can also add the liberals and all other anti-American leftos out there too.
HOW LONG ARE THESE FREAKIN’ COWARDLY, SPINELESS POLITICIANS GONNA LET THIS GO?!?! I’M ABOUT TO START MY OWN REVOLUTION…
WTF?
Maybe we should declare Mexico a national disaster and provide FEMA funds to all the Mexicans coming into the US. We could bus them to Houston. I hear HISD buses are available at their convenience at no charge, free gas, free drivers. Houstonians will give them food and lodging and even become their servants. Spanish will become the official language. And yes, they should be guaranteed jobs for life just like the French. Channel 12 came out saying that there are over 96,000 millionaires in Harris County; that’s information we need to be getting out to the Katrina gangs in the city.
This is about to get out of hand. Get prepared by stocking up on lots of ammo and frijoles! GOD BLESS AMERICA
I was sent this quote yesterday. This should be our mantra.
Theodore Roosevelt’s ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
Have you joined the Minuteman yet?
Why not?
How appropo - the American flag raised with the stars upside down is a known as a sign of extreme distress. The USA, with the spineless politicians, and corrupt bureaucrats, have failed all over-taxed citizens.
The socialist wolves are herding the “sheeple” for a merceless slaughter, and all the sheepdogs have been defanged or banished, and can not protect us.
Still asleep! Slaughter indeed!

Marchers say gringos,
not illegals, have to go
Activists turn tables, offer no amnesty for ‘non-indigenous’ on ‘our continent’

Mexica Movement activists protest in L.A.
WASHINGTON – While debates about guest-worker programs for illegal aliens take place in the corridors of power, in the streets of America’s big cities no amnesty is being offered by activists calling for the expulsion of most U.S. citizens from their own country.
While politicians debate the fate of some 12 million people residing in the U.S. illegally, the Mexica Movement, one of the organizers of the mass protest in Los Angeles this week, has already decided it is the “non-indigenous,” white, English-speaking U.S. citizens of European descent who have to leave what they call “our continent.”
Has anyone given any thought as to how such a wide-spread, instantaneous, pre-planned and well-organized demonstation could be pulled off at a moment’s notice? There is a much bigger, underlying danger than what we see on the surface. These students are being organized, coached, and used by adult extremests, and it didn’t happen over-night. It’s a scary thought.
All I can say is “Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad, Mofos!” Perhaps we need to send the Marines “to the Halls of Montezuma” once again to remind them who won, instead of allowing any more of this quasi-invasion.

I am too angry to e-mail. Anything I would mail would be counter productive.
All of you have been so eloquent, and have said exactly what I feel, what else?
I feel so used….all of MY civil rights have been abused. NOT!!
I will fight in anyway, anywhere that circumstances dictate.
Words in our documents that our forefather prepared have no meaning, because our government will not uphold the laws of the country. Bunch of cowards. If I knew for certain that raising taxes would be used for building ‘THE WALL’, I would pay. But no more for the social services awarded to illegals. Even paying for a mouthful of shiny orthodontics. I have seen these illegals showing the teacher the new appliances in their mouths. WE can’t afford the same for ours.

My emails are not soft.
I threaten no one. I tell them the way it is..
You are either for America or Against as GW “used” to say.
Then I tell them they are traitors to America and “we will not forget”!

Has anyone wondered how deep Chavez and Castro’s involvement is into all this?
We are heading towards, to quote Doc Holliday: “a reckoning”
Japan awoke a sleeping giant once. How deep IS our slumber?
#21
Did you say a reckoning?
http://www.areckoning.com/
The question is are we just gonna sit here and bleed?
I wonder if burning the Mexican flag is covered under the First Amendment?? I wonder how the illegals would react??? I wonder if they would get away with what they do here there in the own country??? There is a reason they are here, its our freedoms, if they want to turn this country into Mexico then why don’t they just go back there.
From Tim Donnelly:
GO TO http://WWW.MINUTEMANPARTY.COM & then pass this on to
everyone you know across the nation!
If you watched our local news in S. California, they
did not show this just as they do not spend any time
interviewing outraged citizens. These are the
“victims” who should be heard and tolerated unlike the Minutemen, who rather than concerned citizens are dismissed with contempt as a fringe group.
If you are still sitting around wondering what to do, then we are lost. I think the time has come for us to stop trying to influence our politicians, who seem to have more regard for the illegal alien who cannot vote than for decent, hardworking, law-abiding, tax-paying citizens.
Today is the day for the Mexican Flag to be torn down wherever it may fly over our soil & it must be
subjected to desecration in answer to the treatment
that our flag has suffered at the hands of those to
whom the Senate would grant the right to become
citizens.

It may be too late for even that…
I fear there will be something BAD on the horizon. They have begun to feel their oats after being whipped into a frenzy by professional agitators and the media. They obviously don’t want to participate in this country, the picture shows that. We are crumbling like the Roman Empire.
I have worn two uniforms serving this country. What can I do? I can’t shirk responsibility and go protest. I can’t consciously vote for Republicans because they will probably sell us out for Meheecan votes. I definitely can’t vote for Dimmacrats because they will absolutely sell out for Meheecan votes. Third party are nuttier than a squirrel turd. And not voting will ensure Dimmacrat victory. What do I do??
All I can do is make T shirts…
Maybe I should do No Mujado T shirts???
lol… Chavez and Castro have nothing to do with this! LMAO your desperation is growning! =) Have a nice day!
#25
It’s not desperation growing, Mujado. It’s ANGER. This is America, not Meheeco. Don’t underestimate Americans vato! A sleeping giant may be awakening!
My suggestion:
1. Secure the borders. Total lock down.
2. Make it easier for employers to check employment status of potential employees. As of a few years back it was against SS divisions policy to verify that a SS# was valid until the person was actually your employee.
3. Bus them back in droves if that is what it takes. It is estimated that illegals drive the wages down and depress the ability of our own children to get jobs by close to 10%.
4. Once the employers have a means to verify employees, file on the employers found hiring illegals. Up the penalties, throw them in jail, from managers up the chain of command. Club Fed has plenty of room. There is no such thing as overcrowding in a federal penitentiary.
5. Stop pandering to minorities by supplying everything from signs to federal forms in mutiple languages. Pass legislation mandating English as the Official Language and perhaps we would spend less on PC correct BS!
5. Stop giving US Citizenship to every kid that happens to slip its mother’s womb on US soil. Send everyone back once they have been mendially cleared to travel. Nice air conditioned Greyhounds can make the run daily to Mexico. Maybe recondition some of those useless school busses form the Chocolate City. Mayor Nagin is givin’ them puppies away on ebay!
this makes me more mad than i can express with words
A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the
United States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street
and says, “Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country, and
giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care and free education!”
But the passerby says “You are mistaken, I am Mexican”. The man goes on
and encounters another passerby. “Thank you for having such a beautiful
country here in America!” The person says “I no American, I Vietnamese.”
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops,
shakes his hand and says “Thank you for the wonderful America!” That
person puts up his hand and says “I am from Middle East, I am not an
American!” He finally sees a nice lady and asks suspiciously, “Are you an
American?” She says, “No, I am from Russia!” So he is puzzled, and asks
her, “Where are all the Americans?” The Russian lady looks at her watch,
shrugs, and says… “Probably at work….”

You think that’s funny?! Why don’t you try Tiananmen Square for a change. Better still, stay in dirty Mexico. What filth you have. That is what you bring to this country. Filth, TB, Whooping Cough, because you come in illegally, no exams to make certain you don’t carry syphilis. That is one of our big complaints.
That was directed to #25.
You are bitting the hands that feed you.
sorry for misspelling again, I was pret angry. Something about a horse and bridle, seems appro anyway.
appropo…I my BP shot up. Gotta go home.
Ok, so I need spell check
Appropos.
My sheepdog needs more cowbell!
I understand your anger Sonia. I’ve talked to Tejano on here before and tried to be diplomatic and respectful in my disagreement. Now everyone is angry about the illegal immigration and Tejano comes on here and gives us:
We have legitimate concerns about illegal immigration and Tejano is laughing. A word of advice for you Tejano:
This is a serious subject and you’re not convincing anyone here that you want to improve the situation with comments like that. Take or leave my advice as you see fit, but I’ll bet most here would agree with me.
What I don’t understand is if these protesters loved Mexico so much and want to preserve their heritage, why don’t they just go back to that filthy, wreched armpit of the world and leave us the F alone!
#37, AMEN
and
there’s ONE more reason to close the borders, ANYONE heard of “OTM’s” ? other than mexican…
border patrols label people from the middle east, and China, all trying to sneak into this country, with God know’s what, this alone is the foremost single reason to shut down our borders tonight. Lest we forget 9-11, and history will repeat itself. WHen we finally have had enough, the government will finally do something, but some American city (cities) will be smoldering ruins…
WE NEED TO DEFEND OUR BORDERS.
And for all of the Mexicans who love to wave their damn flags in our country, and protest, and claim their love for Mexico, why in the hell don’t you go back HOME, and leave our country alone, after all, It was your Gen. Santa Anna, who signed it over.
This is a new way to make friends, go to your neighbor’s house, insult them and rob them.
We give them a way out of the dire straits they are in and they trash us, how very French!
That’s not free speech. That’s TREASON!! Put every last illegal SOB on a bus and give them back to Fox.
Isn’t that a picture of how the flags are flown at La Casa Blanca?
I think Slick Jorge W Bush II raised those before he left for Cancun to surrender to V Fox and Mexico.
!!Viva El Presidente Slick Jorge W Bush numero Dos!!
President Bush has rendevous with Fox in Cancun today. If the object of meeting was US/Mexico border than why not meet on the border and experience first hand problems rather than Cancun, a holiday resort?
The lines are drawn rather clearly, I think. Either we rescue our borders now, or we just give the country away.
#43
Why would you expect a Silver-Spooned, out of touch, Oath Breaking-Sellout in Chief to go to the border and actually see what is going on?
He has been a big part of creating what is going on. He is one of the Prime Players in on the deal to erase our borders and abolish America as we know it.
He is a phony a fraud and a liar.
He has betrayed America.
That’s the way I see it.
It is time to conduct an organized effort to vote all incumbants out and get some people in the offices (like Dan) who will not pander to get votes and will not look at their position as a lifetime career! I cannot believe that we are not enforcing our own frickin laws because people are worried about votes. I’m afraid if things continue as they are…people are going to get so frustrated that they’ll become violent. Oh, BTW, Tejano…you should think about the backlash that your ‘people’ will experience if you continue with that kind of attitude…I’m seeing it already….you don’t gain the favor of US citizens by carrying around mexican flags!
This cannot end well, I see bloodshed on the horizon.
One last comment, #25 only makes one comment and disappears? What a coward, hiding behind his computer.
Rorschach,
I truly fear that what you said in #47 is correct. This is a snippet of something from the website Tejano linked to a while ago:
http://www.latinorepublican.com/
The problem I see there is that Ronald Reagan did not condone illegal immigration. They’re comparing him to Lou Dobbs, Bill O’Reilly, Pat Buchanan, and Rep. Tom Tancredo and making the claim that all of those guys are anti-immigration and anti-trade. On Pat Buchanan I might agree. But to paint everyone who opposes illegal immigration as anti-immigrant is deceptive and dangerous.
You and I are peaceful people (until pushed) who only want to see the right thing done. Many others unfortunately are not. Therein lies the danger. A serious backlash is brewing against illegal immigration, and coming on here and posting “LMAO your desperation is growning! =) Have a nice day!” is irresponsible at best. I would categorize it as antagonistic, but that’s just me.
#30. lol funny because all I see on street corners are Americans! NOT AT WORK!! Try again!
#27. Mujado, huh? lol and no you are not racist are you?
I do believe the giant has been awaken, as you can see with the nationwide protest.
Sonia… who are you kidding! You are far from being of Mexican blood!
#37. I know I am not convincing anyone, and I never will be able too. But accept the truth, Republicans will give in! Listen too Ed hendee this morning? He already folded! FINALLY he made some sense about the issue.
I’ve already accepted that Republicans will give in. I don’t like it, but I recognize it as true nonetheless. I only heard Edd for ~15 minutes this morning before 6:30. What did he say that makes you say he’s folded?
#54, believe it or not, as much of an arse as he is, Tejano actually said something I agree with, as much as I hate to admit it. Edd HAS folded. He does not support stiffer penalties for employers and he does not grasp the concept that such penalties are required to deal with the flood of illegals. He supports guest worker programs because he does not understand that if they cannot work here they will go back home. we will not have to deport them, they will leave on thier own accord. They are like locusts, they will swoop down and eat and eat and eat until the entire harvest is gone and then they will swarm on down the road looking for a new field to strip. when all the fields are sprayed with poison will they realize that maybe it is time to find a new field to strip.
#54. He actually made sense! He was speaking about the DREAM ACT.
He said he knows that 12 million illegals cant and wont be deported. He supported the DREAM ACT to educate the kids in this group who show they want an education, and it makes sense, instead of outcasting them and denying an education therefore creating more poverty among them. Is that not reasonable?
Then he went on to say that we should deport those who get arrested for DWI, Robbery, Murder, etc.! I completely agree with that statement deport them immediately after trial to a Mexican Prison.
I see him coming to his senses and becoming a realist… thats all I push. I dont want amnesty any more than you do, but I believe there should be a path for them to attain citizenship and frankly it doesnt exist right now. All others who just want to come work temporarily then set up the guest worker program for them. Believe me many dont want to be here anymore than you want them here! They will go back if brought here under a controlled system! Thats it.. nothing more is being requested other than reform, not AMNESTY! Am I wrong for that? I dont think I am… Please comment, and thanks for being civil about it!!
56:
You DO want amnesty, and you want it way more than we do.
And no more “mujado” comments, all.
Tejano,
I appreciate that we can’t deport 12 million people. Logistics dictate that it would be impossible. In that sense I am a realist. But I simply can’t agree that we should just decriminalize millions of people who have entered America illegally. It’s wrong on many levels.
One is that it completely trivializes the struggles that many immigrants have gone through to come here the right (legal) way. I have a friend here at work who married a lady from Brazil, and brought her and her daughter to America to live legally. They spent a lot of money and time to make it happen. How could I look him in the face and tell him that it’s OK for some people to come here illegally because they just want a better life? Everyone wants a better life. Some are just more honest in how they attain it.
Another problem is not fining employers who employ illegals. It’s irresponsible to allow people to hire illegals and capitalize on their cheap labor. It has the effect of addicting our economy to cheap labor. I’m all in favor of a free market, but it has to be within the confines of people who are here legally.
What this country needs is not cheap labor. What this country needs is thinkers. Our economy is being outsourced left and right to India and China, and we’re trying to make it easier for people to come here and do menial labor? It’s counterproductive to our progress as a nation. Let’s be honest, it’s not the college educated people of Mexico who are coming here illegally for the most part.
If we don’t wake up as a nation and begin being more intellectually competitive in the world economy, we will one day find that America has become a third world nation. Isn’t that exactly what illegal immigrants are trying to escape?
#57. No I dont want amnesty, I never agreed with Reagan giving it either. But I do recognize there is a problem with our current immigration process and it needs to be reformed! Simple as that.
You are beginning to sound like the Democrats on Social Security, not wanting to admit there is a problem with the system.
The DREAM act is an act of treason in my estimation. Illegals should not be awarded in-state tuition to state sponsored schools. They should not even be awarded ENTRY into those schools AT ANY PRICE. No WONDER the cost of tuition is sky rocketing. They are being forced to educate illegals who have NOT paid thier fair share into the system, and are not even ALLOWED to ask thier immigration status.
Tejano, you sicken me. You are a traitor and so is Kennedy, McCain and Bush.
#60. And your ignorance sickens me! Apparently you are unaware where these colleges are getting funds from! Everyone pays into the system, own a house or not!
Therefore they can recieve in state tuition! IT IS WHERE THEY RESIDE! So long as people continue blocking the illegals will gain more! Just watch!
No. 20 - Royko,
I’m a day late but yes, details please.
Yeah #58! We definitely need to stop the incentives for these people to come here: (1) punish the employers for hiring them; (2)stop offering citizenship to babies born of illegal aliens; (3) tax all monies wire-transferred to Mexico or other countries for hospital and schools; (4) stop providing education, welfare, and other programs intended and paid for by US citizens; (5)pass a Federal law that would prohibit cities/states from becoming ’sanctuary’ entities - like Houston; would prevent states from offering in-state tuition - like South Carolina; to enforce this..hold back any federal dollars if the state is found in violation;(6)make English the official language of the country; (7)to address those that say no one will do the jobs the aliens currently do…reform welfare to require work of recipients that are not elderly or disabled; (8)put armed national guard at the borders; (9)provide better support to the poor border sheriffs that are fighting the drug lords; (10) require Mexico to get serious about improving their own situation instead of sucking the life out of us (privatizing their oil industry & addressing the tremendous corruption would be a GREAT start!).
I’m almost at the point where I’d be okay with a National ID card if the benefits of citizenship were sure to not be shared with those here illegally - Texas already has my SSN and finger print at the DPS!….what’s the difference?
