Bikers rally against illegals

A small band of motorcyclists is "raising the alarm" in a state-to-state rally against illegal immigration, modeled after Paul Revere's historic warning of approaching British Redcoats.

"The illegals are coming every night. Wake up," said Howard Wooldridge of Fort Worth, Texas, coordinator of the "21st Century Paul Revere Ride of 2006."

The five motorcyclists are scheduled to roll into Salt Lake on Saturday for a noon rally at the State Capitol with local activists against illegal immigration.

"The nation, in the past years, has been suffering under the unarmed invasion," Wooldridge said. "Like Paul Revere we are travelling the country, spreading the word this is bad policy for native-born Americans. We need to seal the border."

However, in Utah, Latino activists questioned the riders' use of patriotic icons in their rally against illegal immigration.
"I think it's shameful," said Michael Clara, spokesman for the Utah Hispanic/Latino Legislative Task Force. "I'm a very patriotic person. It cheapens our history when people try to cloak themselves in patriotism and make it look like there's this invasion going on. There's no invasion."

Meanwhile, Tony Yapias of Proyecto Latino de Utah said the ride sounds like just another means of creating fear and dividing communities.

"Enough of the fear, enough intolerance," Yapias said. "This really needs to be focused on as how to proceed as a society."

The five riders left Denver May 29. They're scheduled to hold rallies at 48 state capitals and at a few other locations before arriving at Washington, D.C., on Aug. 12.

They're opposed to a recently passed Senate bill that would put millions of illegal immigrants on an eventual path to citizenship. They're calling for support for a House enforcement bill. The two measures must be resolved in a conference committee.

"People believe in the rule of law," Wooldridge said. "We believe strongly that if we scream loudly enough, Congress will change their minds about amnesty and guest workers and finally put up a barrier to stop people from coming in physically."

Thats the sound of freedom you hear Tony, take look around your in America, those pipes you hear represent the most patriotic people you will ever meet. Motorcycles have been part of our culture since the early 1900's when the first Indian motorcycle was built, Harley Davidson came 2 years after Indian, Motorcycles played a large part in early wars and roll strong today. Bikers do more for communities with rides and fund raisers than you can imagine Tony, maybe you should wave an American flag when they pass your town and realize where you stand. I've been a biker for many years, I hang with many types, from bikers who are weekend riders to guys that have lived it since they could walk and are 1%rs. But everyone of them love this country and the people that love it. Wake up Tony you're missing the point, and some great Americans...

"Enough of the fear, enough intolerance," Yapias said. "This really needs to be focused on as how to proceed as a society."

Oh take your "enough" and stuff it.

WE've had "ENOUGH".

"how to proceed as a society"?

You're seeing it, Tony.

Now tell your illegal alien clients it's time to pack and go home.

Get it, Tony?

An old sage once said: "Every Dog has fleas"

Why is it they can illegally march in the streets in our country holding up their racists signs demanding things they don't deserve,but if an American wants to rally we are called racists or looked at as intimidators?

ConcernedCitizen, you got that right!
Listening to these guys is amazing. When we point out some of the sordid truths about this whole illegal immigrant mess they just can't stand hearing it! Too bad!
