I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Our Laws, Our Country

So, now the truth. These ILLEGAL ALIEN marches were not spontaneous events, but rather promoted by Spanish-language media:

LOS ANGELES - The marching orders were clear: Carry American flags and pack the kids, pick up your trash and wear white for peace and for effect.

Many of the 500,000 people who crammed downtown Los Angeles on Saturday to protest legislation that would make criminals out of illegal immigrants learned where, when and even how to demonstrate from the Spanish-language media.

For English-speaking America, the mass protests in Los Angeles and other U.S. cities over the past few days have been surprising for their size and seeming spontaneity.

But they were organized, promoted or publicized for weeks by Spanish-language radio hosts and TV anchors as a demonstration of Hispanic pride and power.
Hello, these people, these illegal aliens, are criminals! They have broken our immigration laws and invaded our country. Criminals, criminals, criminals.

There ought to be mass arrests and deportations. These criminals are out in plain sight.

Further, they sought to intimidate us, to frighten us away from enforcing the LAWS of OUR Country.

AFP: 'Today we march, tomorrow we vote': fearful US Latinos flex political muscle---

"Today we march, tomorrow we vote," was the warning chanted by many of the 500,000 protesters who brought the second largest US city of Los Angeles to a standstill Saturday when they marched against the proposed crackdown on illegal immigration.
If you aren't a legal citizen, you can't vote. Or at least you aren't supposed to. The right to vote belongs to the citizen, not the illegal alien. People who have illegally invaded our country should have no say in our elections, laws, and lives.

"It's not only Latinos who are marching in the streets, its unions too: firefighters, farm workers and Hispanic students who had thought of US law as protecting them and are now starting to see it as a threat to their future," said Andres Jiminez, director of the University of California's California Policy Research Center.

"Working people are tired of having to be afraid, of being ill-treated and are now worried that the law will turn them into criminals," he told AFP.
US law is supposed to protect US CITIZENS, not the invaders. US CITIZENS are tired of having to put up with criminals who use government resources, schools, hospitals, bring crime and disease, and expect us to adapt to their culture, rather than the other way around. Illegal aliens ARE criminals. What else can one be when one breaks the law? New immigration laws won't turn illegal aliens into crimnals, because they already are. Why is this so hard to understand?

More from Rush Limbaugh: Fear Governs Both Parties on Immigration---

Now, folks, let me ask you a question. Have you been watching any news coverage on the drive-by media of the whole immigration business of the vote last night in the Senate judiciary committee, their bill? In any story, do you not get the impression that the vast majority of people of this country are all for this bill, all for the amnesty program, whatever you want to call it? I do. Well, imagine my surprise ladies and gentlemen when I awoke today and started doing show prep! I do this exhaustively each day. It's an Associated Press story about an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

"Most people in the US think illegal immigration is a serious problem. A solid majority oppose making it easier for illegal immigrants to become legal workers or citizens." Here are some findings: "Some 59% say they oppose allowing illegal immigrants to apply for legal temporary worker status. More than six in ten, 62%, say that they oppose making it easier for illegal immigrants to become citizens, according to a Quinnipiac University poll, nine in ten in that poll say they consider immigration to be a serious problem, with 57% of those polled saying it's really, really serious."
Of course, the MSM won't tell us these things, but we all know it. Law-abiding Americans don't want law-breakers to be given rewards for breaking the law. Most of us try to live good lives, follow the laws of the United States, and now, the people we elected to make sure our laws are good and in place want to stab us in the back. That's wrong.

More from Rush:

If there's going to political fear of enforcing any of these new whatever-you-want-to-call-them, "provisions" in the bill, if they refuse, if we have not expressed a willingness to deport illegals now, what makes anybody think we're going to start when they refuse -- if they refuse, if some of them refuse -- any of these provisions?

This business about learning English, I think that's going to end up being the flash point of this, because there are those that come that don't want to learn English that refuse to, and in fact demand that everything be available in Spanish or in their native tongue. If they refuse to go to English school and learn the language, what are we going to do? Well, this story makes it plain: nothing! Because all that will happen is, "We may jeopardize political support if we try to enforce these provisions!"
Absolutely. If we do not enforce our laws now, what makes us think we can enforce them after we have already reward the law-breakers? They won't learn English. They don't care to now. Once they have their citizenship, does anyone seriously think they will say (but, not in English, obviously) "Oh, now I will learn English!" Won't happen. And that is wrong too. English is the language of the United States.

This whole thing is a slippery slope. If we do not hold firm and enforce our laws, then why will we bother to enforce anything in the future?

Why even bother with new immigration laws? Why not scrap the whole and just let people come across the border and live here at will? It would certainly be much easier.

But we can't allow that, because then we would not be the United States. We must have respect for the law. If we give rewards to law-breakers, then we disrespect every man, woman, and child who died for this country. Our Founding Fathers didn't risk everything so that illegal invaders could be rewarded. We can't allow their legacy, the United States of America, to be over-run with illegal invaders. It isn't right.

But, our government isn't listening to us. Don't let them ignore us. Send FREE FAXES to your senators. Tell them NO!
