Not the Way to Win Us Over

03/28 : Student protest

Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High. (Leo Jarzomb/Staff photo)

Heidi suggests calling the principals of these two high schools here:

EL Rancho principal: Roberta Berg
562-698-8121 x5000

Pioneer principal: Julie Ellis
562-801-5355 x409

Tell them this sort of behavior is unacceptable at taxpayer-funded schools. You can hear Heidi's conversation with the principal of Montebello High School here. Excuses, excuses. Apparently students from El Rancho High School came to Montebello High School and moved the flags. You can contact El Rancho High School through the number above or here. Be respectful, but firm.

The saddest thing about those pictures is the truth of the American Flag upside down. This is a sign of distress (though I doubt these invaders know that). WE are in distress. WE have been invaded by an army of illegals, who broke the law, crossed the border, and now demand RIGHTS. What about OUR rights?

OUR flag flies over OUR nation. If you want to fly the Mexican flag above Old Glory, then go back to Mexico.

Michelle Malkin has lots of links, quotes, pictures, and more. Her current column is Racism gets a whitewash. And how!

Here is an excerpt:

An estimated 500,000 to 2 million people, untold numbers of them here illegally, took to the streets of Los Angeles to protest strict immigration enforcement and demand blanket amnesty for border violators, visa overstayers, deportation fugitives, immigration document fraud artists, and other lawbreakers. Mexican flags and signs advocating ethnic separatism and supremacy filled the landscape. Demonstrators gleefully defaced posters of President Bush and urged supporters to "Stop the Nazis!" Los Angeles talk show host Tammy Bruce reported that protesters burned American flags and waved placards of the North American continent with America crossed out.

Bet you didn't see that on television.

One of the largest, boldest banners visible from aerial shots of the rally read: "THIS IS STOLEN LAND." Others blared: "CHICANO POWER" and "BROWN IS BEAUTIFUL." (Can you imagine the uproar if someone had come to the rally holding up a sign reading "WHITE IS BEAUTIFUL?") Thugs with masked faces flashed gang signs on the steps of L.A.'s City Hall. Students walked out of classrooms all across southern California chanting, "Latinos, stand up!" Young people raised their fists in defiance, clothed in t-shirts bearing radical leftist guerilla Che Guevera's face and Aztlan emblems.

Aztlan is a long-held notion among Mexico's intellectual elite and political class, which asserts that the American southwest rightly belongs to Mexico. Advocates believe the reclamation (or reconquista) of Aztlan will occur through sheer demographic force. If the rallies across the country are any indication, reconquista is already complete.

You can visit the good Patriots known as the Minutemen here. They are trying to do what the Federal Government is supposed to be doing---protecting our borders and enforcing our laws. They aren't racists. They aren't vigilantes (though President Bush said they were). They are PATRIOTS. God bless them.

Of course, the MSM wants to look at the root causes. Wah, wah, wah:

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - President Vicente Fox paused for a long moment before answering a question on how long it would take Mexico to reach a stage where citizens no longer want to cross the U.S. border to seek work.

"Generations," he finally said.

"It's a long way to narrow the gap ... between incomes in Mexico and on the other side of the border," he said in a recent interview with Reuters.

That income gap is the principal reason why hundreds of thousands of Mexicans cross the border with the U.S. illegally to seek work -- yet it rarely figures in the heated and increasingly emotional debate over immigration now raging in the United States.

Roughly half of Mexico's population lives on less than $5 a day, according to government figures. The U.S. minimum wage is $5.15 an hour. Annual Mexican Gross Domestic Product per capita is just under $7,000. It is almost $44,000 in the United States.

It is wrong to blame the United States for Mexico's economic woes. Yet, the MSM certainly doesn't mind doing it. This is neither OUR fault, nor OUR problem. Mexico is never going to gain economic ground if citizens keep stealing across into the United States. Mexico's problems must be fixed inside Mexico, by Mexicans.

I've read that the largest percentage of Mexico's GDP comes from money sent by illegals and Mexicans in the United States. We're bankrolling Mexico. That's wrong. America has a good economy because we are a free society, because we work hard, because we follow the law. Mexico needs to do that on its own.

Great editorial by Tony Blankley at the Washington Times: Mexican illegals vs. American voters---

I commend to all those presumptuous senators and congressmen the sardonic and wise words of Edmund Burke in his 1792 letter to Sir Hercules Langrishe: "No man will assert seriously, that when people are of a turbulent spirit, the best way to keep them in order is to furnish them with something substantial to complain of." The senators should remember that they are American senators, not Roman proconsuls. Nor is the chairman of the Judiciary Committee some latter-day Praetor Maximus.

But if they would be dictators, it would be nice if they could at least be wise (until such time as the people can electorally forcefully project with a violent pedal thrust their regrettable backsides out of town). It was gut-wrenching (which in my case is a substantial event) to watch the senators prattle on in their idle ignorance concerning the manifold economic benefits that will accrue to the body politic if we can just cram a few million more uneducated illegals into the country. ( I guess ignorance loves company.) Beyond the Senate last week, in a remarkable example of intellectual integrity (in the face of the editorial positions of their newspapers) the chief economic columnists for the New York Times and The Washington Post — Paul Krugman and Robert Samuelson, respectively — laid out the sad facts regarding the economics of the matter. Senators, congressmen and Mr. President, please take note.

The American Conservative Union has a press release out: Conservatives Strongly Object To Immigration Legislation Passed by Senate Judiciary Committee

At Townhall.com,

Kathleen Parker asks When illegal is right, what is wrong?
Jonah Goldberg: Blurring the immigration issue
Debra Saunders: It's time to get immigration reform done
Cal Thomas asks: Whose country is this?---

Observing the pro-immigration demonstrations in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Atlanta and elsewhere in recent days, I wondered: whose country is this? Why are many illegal aliens who broke our laws to get here and who continue to break our laws to stay here, demanding that the United States not only allow them to remain, but support them with the taxes of law-abiding citizens? Have we gone mad?

"Thousands Rally For Immigrants' Rights" read a headline about the Phoenix march. What rights? If they are here illegally, they have the right to leave. They have no rights under our Constitution, anymore than I might expect the rights of a Mexican citizen should I choose to live illegally in Mexico. Marchers in Los Angeles carried Mexican flags, which should tell us about their primary allegiance.

There were work stoppages and school walkouts. Every person who left school or job should be required to prove they are in America legally. If they cannot, or will not, they should be deemed illegals and deported.

AMEN!

I hope students continue walking out and protesting like these ones. Doing so will bring more support to doing what is right (namely rounding them all up and kicking them out permanently). Do they really think that shouting anti-American/pro-Mexico things and waving anti-American/pro-Mexico signs will make us love them? Make us work to allow them to stay?

Why would we want such idiots here?

Some students said they did not know exactly what the bill said but believed that it was part of an anti-immigrant movement taking hold nationwide.

"We just walked out because we didn't want to be at school," said Diana Hernandez, a senior at Dorsey High School in Los Angeles. "But we also believe [the legislation] is wrong."

Oooh, way to be an activist! "We just wanted a day off . . . oh, and we don't like that thing either."

We really don't need more stupid people in the US. We grow enough of them here.

The bottom line is that we MUST take a stand against illegal "immigration." We have NO obligation to give these people anything but a swift kick out of the country. Our rights are being trampled under the feet of an illegal invading army. Our government is giving up the hard-won sovereignty of the United States of America. We have to fight back. Tell your Senators NO to Amnesty here.
