Resist the DREAM
The next time they try to ramrod this thinly veiled amnesty through, are they going to
call it The Recurring DREAM Act? ("DREAM Act fails to get 60 votes, dies in Senate," Hot Topic, Oct. 25.)
A paragraph from "Mexican visitor's lament: Our best hands are here," Tina
Griego's Oct. 25 column, provides one of the most compelling reasons to resist
the DREAM Act's passage: "She describes a Mexican town's annual Immigrant Day
celebration. In this town, she says, all the boys and most of the girls leave
for the United States, crossing illegally, before they are out of middle
school."

The globalists want to eliminate countries. You will be just another of the lowest paid workers they can get. It's all about control, and profit. They could give a shit less about you. it's all about them and their power and their elitism.
Posted by Bangalong Skunk on November 7, 2007 12:40 AMAlmost out of middle school? Don't they have two or three kids of their own by that age?
Posted by TJ on November 7, 2007 02:26 AMMexico promotes ILLEGAL entry into this country. Another one of the reasons is thier failed educational system. The fact they have public school only through the 6th grade, after that it is a pay for system.
So why not send them to our schools as the school system here is dummin down to accept these students with much lower standards then 20 years ago.
You can not blame just globalists, but the reconquista movement as well. With thier falsehoods and flat out lies about history and made up homelands and a people that never existed before the 1960's.
We have no problem with the immigration laws on the books, the problem is lack of enforcement by our government .
ENFORCE THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by on November 7, 2007 04:43 AMThere will be no "Deam Act" passed into law. It will be defeated over and over. Why?
Remeber that march in 2006? Of course you do. Remember the sea of Mexican flags? Remember the Che banners? Remember the DEMANDS? Remember the THREATS?
Basically they said, "We demand to live here and have everything you do, but our allegence will stay with Mexico."
That just won't fly will it folks?
Posted by truthy on November 7, 2007 07:06 AMI have a DREAM. I have a dream that one day black men won't be required to fight in wars giving foreigners democracy and voting desserts, that they don't enjoy here in America. For the past 70 years, blacks have fought to give foreigners rights and those blacks return home to be continually denied basic human rights. In years past, the k-k-k was the culprit.
Today the culprit is criminal illegal Mexicans, who steal our jobs and nullify our votes, because these thugs actually register and vote. K. Salazar and Owens created this injustice in N.E. Denver through a slick Texas-style redistricting. They allowed criminal illegals the right to register and vote. Follow the money. Salazar and Owens didn't want N.E. Denver blacks to have a voice in the disbursement of more than $14 billion in federal funds (jobs/contracts) in the T-REX, Fas Tracks, CBMS, and Fitzsimons (LDS cash-cow) redevelopment projects. For the first time in decades there is no elected black on RTD' s board of directors (13 whites and 2 Latinos).
Mike Coffman has jumped on this black voter nullification bandwagon too. I told him I wanted (R) State Rep. Balmer removed from office. Balmer (carpetbagger) perjured his state lection application when he falsily stated he had law clerk experience. Denver Federal Chief Judge Snotty-Notty, sentenced ex-black Denver US Marshal Benny Bailey (26 years service) to 6 years for lying about his sexual affair with a "WHITE WOMAN". Nottingham (GHWB appointee) should sentence Balmer to 6 years in prison too. I would love see Salazar, Owens, Coffman, and Blamer, in SuperMax wives attire.
Posted by 40acresandmymuleandNAMvetbennies on November 7, 2007 07:19 AM40 you better get on the ball and get rid of all the illegals if you ever want to be discriminated against like you claim. all the illegals mexicans are stealing your glory now and getting all the free things you want.

Posted by on November 7, 2007 08:21 AMI have a Dream: I dream of one country with one language. I dream of classrooms that are not overcrowded, of emergency rooms that are not used for general health care. I dream of Americans not being murdered by foreigners, of Americans being secure in their jobs not threatened by cheaper illegal laborers. I dream of immigrants who enter our country legally and respectfully. I dream of politians respecting the wishes of their American constituency.
The DREAM act is a nightmare for the American children who's future is being sacrificed on the cross of phony compassion.
Posted by Freebird on November 7, 2007 09:06 AM40, but you still live here and enjoy the benefits of living in the best place in the world don't you? Oh, and people like you perpetuate racism. Get over it.
Posted by 'Nuff Said on November 7, 2007 09:23 AMWhy is it, that of all the groups of illegal aliens in the country (including Chinese, Korean, European, Latino, etc.), that it is the Latino population that has this attitude: "Education is a right. I am here. You owe me in-state tuition. You owe me citizenship. You were stupid enough to let me and my family sneak in, so therefore it's all your problem, not mine."
I know why the Latino illegals have this attitude of entitlement. They are constantly encouraged by U.S. Latino groups whose mouths are watering at the prospect of millions of ignorant, poorly educated Latino voters who can be led to vote for radical Latinos or use threats to force concessions to their group out of the public coffers, thereby cancelling out the votes of native-born Americans whose forefathers built this country and died to protect it.

John W. Slagle
October 28, 2007
Recently Mexican President Calderon has been very outspoken, critical on U.S. Immigration law enforcement efforts and supports Amnesty for all illegal aliens from Mexico residing, working in this nation.
Contrary to popular belief, Mexico has very strict immigration laws which are enforced by every police agency in the country. The Bureau of Immigration can call upon any law enforcement officer to assist in their mission. Citizens from the United States traveling in Mexico without proper documents, work permits or non immigrant visas are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.
The laws regarding foreign national visitors, immigrants, non-citizens are as clear and concise in Mexico as are our own U.S. laws which are considered unenforceable by many politicians in Washington, D.C.
* Reglamento de la Ley General de Poblacion (General Law on Population) in Spanish dated Abril 14 de 2000 Capitulo Quinto --Migracion Seccion 1
Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:
Foreigners are admitted into Mexico "according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress."
Immigration officials must "ensure" that "immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance" and for their dependents.
Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets "the equilibrium of the national demographics," when foreigners are deemed detrimental to "economic or national interests," when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when "they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy."
The Secretary of Governance may "suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest."
Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:
Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants.
A National Population Registry keeps track of "every single individual who comprises the population of the country," and verifies each individual's identity.
A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number.
Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be Imprisoned. Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned.
Foreigners who sign government documents "with a signature that is false or different is subject to fine and imprisonment.
Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as Felons. Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished.
Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years.
Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison . Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico -- such as working with out a permit -- can also be imprisoned.
Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population States…
"A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally."
Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. Foreigners who have contempt against national sovereignty or security" will be deported.
Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals .Under the law, A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison.
Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. The general immigration laws of Mexico are very similar to 8 U.S. Codes of the I&N Act. The review of basic Immigration laws of various nations including Mexico have been researched by various authors including Professor Michael Waller and Reports for U.S. Congress. Open border advocates, special interest groups in the United States do not appreciate this information made public although the facts have been readily available and widely distributed. Condemning U.S. Laws as cruel and inhumane lacks any measure of common sense when the majority of nations in the world including Mexico have very strict immigration policies.

Before "truth" oozes over to this thread and whines that we're all a bunch of meanies because we realize the U.S. can't help EVERY poor person who might have the opportunity to sneak over our borders ILLEGALLY....
I'll pose this question;
Why should we give some illegal alien in-state-tuition before some bright and eager kid from say....Philly....or Baton Rouge, who would love to attend C.U. but can't because
our bend-over-for-the-illegals politicians won't give him in-state-tuition, but are more than happy to give it to some ILLEGAL ALIEN?
WHY DO WE FAVOR THESE SQUATTERS ABOVE OUR OWN CITIZENS?!?
Posted by RickyLee on November 7, 2007 10:01 AMIf you don't like illegal immigrants coming into our country in uncontrolled masses, over-burdening our infrastructure, and not paying ALL their taxes -- then you have to face a simple fact:
You are a RACIST!
(This is sarcasm, of course. Too bad that there are so many stupid fools who actually believe it.)
Posted by Republican Guy on November 7, 2007 10:55 AMOh the comedy!

Chavez is believed to be armed and dangerous." Umm, Mexico? That's where they go. And thank you once again Mayor Hickenlooper. Your sanctuary city once again proves how well it works. How do you wash the blood off of your hands at night?

Posted by on November 7, 2007 12:40 PMDREAM? Who's DREAM? Not mine it sure the hell its not America's it's Mexico's Dream to get back everything they lost and maybe alot more. Its time to treat this as a treat to America. Its time to ignore Mexico, The UN and the rest of the world and do what's right for US. Kick them all out, put employers that hire them in jail for 20 years, Kick out of the country anyone that supports illegals over Americans and if it means putting troops on the border then lets get them there. Make it as hard on the illegal as posible, take away the jobs, the money, the housing and jail supporters for treason. Lets bring back the American Dream for Americans.
Posted by Joe on November 7, 2007 01:52 PMI posted this yesterday on this topic, but still apropos.
My solution to the dilemma of what to do with children that would like to continue their education as the off-springs of illegals would be this:
Return to your country of origin, as that is where citizenship is still maintained. Enroll in University in that country. Upon graduation, begin the process for legal entry into the United States, with a stream-lined process so that it would not take years, but months to do so.
Seems rather fair to me, as they could bring best practices in education back to their country of origin, may decide to stay in their national country, and should they decide to come back to the US, would have a higher probability of being a productive contributor to society. What do you think?
Sounds quite fair to me. Heck, not even months, how about weeks. I have the UTMOST respect for immigrants, and they're more than welcome here.
It's the ILLEGAL aliens I have a big problem with, and the bleeding-heart, cry-baby, "we can save the whole world" crowd just loves to paint me as racist for it. Funny, how after all this time and discussion, that's STILL the only argument they can come up with for not wanting to control illegal immigration.
Posted by RickyLee on November 7, 2007 02:07 PMI have never heard such a bunch of bigoted idiots in my life. Your farms are about to be reduced to convict labor because of your persecution of impoverished people coming here to support their families. Any one of you with any sense of duty would recognize that YOU would do the same thing they do, if the roles were reversed. Family comes before immigration laws. If you want to fry someone's ass, get going on putting a couple of Corporate Farmer executive in Canon City. If there are no jobs the problem will solve itself. Then, you all can blame another group for the failures of your politicians and their policies. Bigotry is alive and well in the USA. It is time it is erased. Like it or not the constitution says that ANYONE born here is a citizen; you can defeat the "Dram Act" but you will NEVER change the Constitution.
Posted by Zorro on November 7, 2007 06:42 PMZero, We don't need 20 million illegals to pick crops. Why do we have a preference for Mexico's poor? How about poor folks in India or China? There is racism. Much of it on the part of organizations supporting illegals. La Raza means "the race". Couldn't be more racist if it were called the KKK.
Posted by Tom on November 7, 2007 07:50 PMZorro,
"Like it or not the constitution says that ANYONE born here is a citizen; you can defeat the "Dram Act" but you will NEVER change the Constitution".
Does that include children of foreign diplomats? No it doesn't As stated by the Senator from Michigan it doesn't include children born to illegals either. The Supreme court changed it's meaning. And if you think about it their decision didn't include illegals either, there were no such persons in the US. The term illegal immigrate did not come into existence until the 60's when our immigration laws were passed
Posted by jgd777 on November 7, 2007 08:57 PMthere are closer to 40 million illegals now, people are stupid to think there is only 20 or 12 million.
we need to do whatever it takes to stop this invasion!
that is what it is!
Posted by Fresh on November 8, 2007 08:58 AMthe phrase "12-20 million" has been in use for at least 5 years, and Fresh is closer to the truth, when he says 40 million.
the last study I read, but am sorry I do not have the link to, said between 38-45 million is the true number, as of late September 2007
Hey Zorro, is this guy a bigot too?
If you ignore the question, you'll expose yourself to be a gutless, hypocritical, coward.
Just like "truth".
Mexican-American resents footing the bill
Monday, October 22 at 12:01 AM
I am a person of Hispanic descent and I have to tell you that it makes me angry that the other persons of Hispanic descent are expecting us as taxpayers to foot the bill for the education of their children in a bilingual school.
That doubles the expense of educating children. Why is it up to us to interpret the English language for these folks? If the parents of the children would educate themselves prior to coming to our country, perhaps it wouldn’t be as expensive for the schools and maybe then more schools could remain open.
It’s wrong for immigrants who come to this country to expect us to foot the bill for their every need! So let’s not blame the school district for the problems; how about we look in the mirror!
We can’t allow this abuse of our good graces and our programs that were designed for the American people to continue.
I am Mexican myself, however my family came here legally and assimilated to the American way of life including speaking the language of the land — English. If immigrants really want to contribute to America, that would be a good place to start!
Anthony Garcia, Castle Rock
Right on the mark, Tom.
Hard to argue that, except to bleat "you're a racist."
The gauntlet has been tossed eh Ricky : ). You are right that not all Mexican-Americans agree on anything. When people advotate legislation without conscience or regard to human rights, they are oppressors. It does not have to only be one ethnicity. You do not comment on placing the heat where it belongs, with the employers. Instead it is easier to demonize one people. Let us think back into history of the results of other situations in other cultures where one group was blamed for the social ills of the country:Germany? Instead of kicking the poor, worry about the Gloalist economic threat to us all.
Posted by Zorro on November 8, 2007 08:44 PMSorry Folks! I meant "Globalist." Adios : )
Posted by Zorro on November 8, 2007 08:48 PMSo you agree that there should be no possible way for an illegal to obtain a job ? what measures should we take to MAKE SURE of this ?
I say a mandatory 10 year jail sentence for anyone employing illegals. that should solve the majority of our problems with this invasion, then we need to make it impossible for them to receive ANY tax payer benefits. then they would all go back to where they came from willingly, no deportation needed
Posted by Fresh on November 9, 2007 06:57 AMI agree.
Fine employers around $10,000.
per day, per illegal alien. Also, if a pattern
of hiring illegal aliens persists, jail time for those employers should be in the cards as well.
I have a Dream. They all packed up and left to their own country, of ALL nationalities
not only from Mexico. If you're illegal
'Goodbye".
