    'Popular referendum' to collect immigrants' opinions on reform

    PETER PRENGAMAN
    Associated Press

    LOS ANGELES - Two national Mexican-American organizations are launching a "popular referendum" to collect the opinions of hundreds of thousands of Spanish-speaking immigrants - both legal and illegal - on immigration reform legislation pending in Congress.

    Starting late next week, the Mexican Brotherhood Latin America and the Mexican-American Political Association will begin distributing questionnaires in Spanish at churches, work sites and activist organizations in over 20 states with high concentrations of immigrants.

    "This will reveal what immigrants think, what they are willing to accept, fight for and reject," said MAPA President Nativo Lopez.

    The nonscientific surveys come on the heels of massive national street protests this spring demanding amnesty for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.

    The forms will be collected and tabulated until November's midterm congressional elections, when immigrant rights activists hope the energy from street protests will translate into voting power to defeat politicians they deem as anti-immigrant.

    Only U.S. citizens can vote, but many illegal immigrants have U.S.-born adult children or relatives who have become citizens - and thus can cast ballots.

    The surveys have 15 questions relating to pending immigration reform legislation, President Bush's decision to temporarily send thousands of National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border and what illegal immigrants think about proposed temporary visas to allow them to work for a few months in the U.S. before returning home each year. The organizations hope to collect more than 250,000 surveys.

    The House of Representatives passed an enforcement-only approach to immigration reform in December that included building more fences along the U.S.-Mexico border and making it a crime to lend a hand to illegal immigrants.

    In May, the Senate passed a reform bill that included tightening the border, but also a path to citizenship for many illegal immigrants.

    To become law, the chambers would have to reconcile the two bills. It was unclear if that would happen.

    Well here's more good money wasted on a worthless cause.
    What, does he actually think the illegal immigrants are going to stand up and say "Yes I'm here illegally, and you should deport all of us and our families because we broke the law."

    Gimmie a break... HELLO!!!!

    Mr. Lopez is trying to find as many radical activists as possible to further his anti-American pro-azlan agenda.

    hell. I'll answer their damn survey right now and save em the trouble.

    What the illegals, their handlers, and their organizations want is precisely, the violent overthrow of the Constitutional Government of the United States.

    with ceding of the Western states to Communist La Raza for the formation of Communist AZT-Land.

    Lotsa goodies come with it; like ethnic cleansing, the north American Union, then onward to the NWO and things we've discussed many times here on Alipac.

    Along comes Hillary (or McCain*) - she'll figure out a way to jump-start the process to transition us to North American Union. After some more time passes, there will be a giant sucking sound as Hillary sucks in her buddies from Tata to assume the roll of our overlords.

    Far fetched?

    So is an open border.

    *John McCain - loved and admired by illegals and the CEO and advertising staff of Google. Any google stockholders on this website? Tell the google-ads guy that I said to go straight to hell - and burn!

    What part of "We don't owe our jobs to India" are you unable to understand, Senator?

    Yeah, lets' ask the inmates how we should run the asylum. Why not ask child molesters which laws they would like reformed too?

    I wonder if these surverys will be printed in English, I doubt it. And being as so many of his beloved illegal Mexican countrymen are illiterate, will they come with pictures too?
