Amnesty marches are the best thing in the world for us . It ticks off most Americans but they do not know what to do next. Go to an amnesty march with signs that tell the witnesses most of whom are angry but do not do anything that when they go home to log on here and NumbersUSA.
I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Gov. Purdue needs to realize that illegal aliens are not part of "all North Carolina families". These people are criminal aliens who are breaking the law to live there.

So right, they are suddenly the victims when Americans speak out about their identity theft, job theft illegal border crossing and theft of state services.
"It is not fair to me", is the plea from illegal aliens we hear so ofter, but they have forgotten the other side of the coin, that their crime of crossing our border illegally was not fair to the LEGAL immigrants, who put so much effort into being here, their theft of jobs has not been fair to legal immigrants and Americans who have been replaced by unscrupulous employers for cheaper, their theft of identities has been unfair to those whose lives have been ruined by this crime, and their theft of social services they were not entitled to has hurt those most truly in need.
The true victims have been legal immigrants and American citizens, the only reason the illegal aliens are crying foul is they are being seen for who they are, and do not like what they are being exposed for, and are now just trying to deflect by playing the victim, a common ruse by criminals to gain sympathy.“In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned. When his cause succeeds however,the timid join him, For then it costs nothing to be a Patriot.â€

La Noticia is the major Spanish-language newspaper in Charlotte and checking out their website, about the only thing I could read was how important it was to advertise with them, and an editorial about how many American people are against 287(g). I never thought the day would come when I could not read half the newspapers in my community because they are in a language I don't understand. There is even a newspaper in Chinese.

[b]Keynote speaker George de Lama, a former managing editor at the Chicago Tribune, said the immigration debate is a complex issue that must be discussed in human terms, yet at times has morphed “into an angry, racist argument in some circles over Latinos and our presence in this society.â€

Some N.C. residents express concern about Latino immigrants in the country illegally taking jobs and straining schools and hospitals.

Just a little update on our Hispanic contributions to the N Carolina communities! (just a little sarcasm in there)
Well for those of you in N Carolina and in the Alamance county,there was a piece on FOX8 News just now. The news release was about the county of Alamance as being the hub to drug trafficking. Carried on by Mexican illegal aliens and also legal aliens (ones born here in the USA). The DEA agent on their said they arer also carrying weapons now. Which he said ,before they did not."When you have knowledge,you have a responsibility to do better"_ Paula Johnson
