The fear factor
You can tell from this article that the illegal immigrant community is beginning to get the message. They are feelings the tremors. What we are projecting out here on this site (and elsewhere) is most definitely being recieved at the other end. I can assure you of that. For the past 40 years, most Americans have been busy living their lives. And the effects of mass immigration have largely been drip-by-drip, mostly un-noticeable on a day-by-day basis. But now, today, the cummulative results have become so obvious, so hideous, its as if America has suddenly awakened -- en masse -- from its collective daydream, and taken a good look at the results of what these people have done, and are in the process of doing, to this great country. And its as if we've awakend with a collective shudder of horror. At what has happened to our country and our neighborhoods. I suppose you could compare this process to a good slap-in-the-face wake-up call. For 40 years we've been brainwashed by our liberal friends in the media. Who keep telling us that "they" speak for "us." Who keep making their speeches about the hypothetical glories of "cultural diversity. Who keep drowning us out with their b.s. every time we try to speak. But those days are over. And now, we are turning a cold, hard eye towards the so-called illegal immigrant community. Just as we are turning a cold, hard eye towards the little men who have worked ceaselessly for the last 40 years to inflict this disaster on America (some of whom I can assure you are reading these words right now). And I suppose you could say that many, many of us are looking at them with a look of extreme displeasure.

"Why are they so angry?" asked Teresa Gonzalez, 57, a Mexican immigrant and naturalized citizen.
Gonzalez fears these elements are combustible and could spark violence.
Paul Rosenzweig is a senior legal research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. "There's a growing sense of dissatisfaction with the current (immigration) system," he said.
Though the Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank, Rosenzweig said liberal immigration advocates agree that change is needed.
"I don't think there's any consensus on what the right answer is," he said.
One popular theory is that Schwarzenegger's comments were a politically motivated attempt to boost his sagging poll numbers.
"The possibility of a nuclear device, even in nothing more than a suitcase, could be brought across and exploded in California," said Pealer, who is retired from the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Postal Service.
Blalock said her daughter has reported hard economic times and local job losses, which she blames on the new immigrant population.
On the opposite end of the philosophical spectrum, Ilene Jacobs, director of litigation, advocacy and training for California Rural Legal Assistance, agreed that money woes can spur anti-immigrant sentiments.
Immigrants contribute to the economy, she said, while becoming scapegoats for Americans' financial frustrations.
"Whenever we have problems in the economy, whenever we have people priced out of the housing market, like we have in California, the instinct is to blame the victim," Jacobs said.
"They try to blame the people who have not caused the problem."
"People feel vulnerable, like they're targets," he said. "People are thinking, 'Now what?' "
She said she's increasingly frightened of deportation and believes strangers have been eyeing her oddly in the grocery store.
"There's always been a little fear," said Ruiz, who came to the United States six years ago from Jalisco, Mexico. Until about two years ago, she worked in the fields.
"Now it's getting a little worse, because what's happening at the border might come up here," she said.
He believes the current immigration wars aren't necessary, because he and other migrants fulfill a need.
"They think we're here to take their jobs," he said. "We do the jobs that Americans don't want to do."Please support our fight against illegal immigration by joining ALIPAC's email alerts here https://eepurl.com/cktGTn
