Thread: Latino's in North Carolina

Reading this article I did not see the word illegal mentioned once.

Interesting post. Apparently in children's services, no one is paying any attention to the legality of the presence or rights to services.

Ugh!

I've exchanged email with Neil Hunt, by state senator, on this
issue. He said the repubs have put forth several bills to deny
these services, but the dems block them. In the 9/10 N&O
articles he is quoted:

'All area elected officials and candidates were invited to appear, organizers said. Most who accepted are Democrats, though Sen. Neal Hunt, a Raleigh Republican, is expected at the festival today.

"I represent all of the people in my district," Hunt said in an interview, "and this is a chance to be with them. I do believe that we need to take steps to make it less attractive for immigrants to come to North Carolina. We are too attractive ... in terms of allowing welfare and food stamps and Medicare and that kind of thing."'

So I expect some visibility on this issue in the near future.

My jaw dropped when I read this from the 9/10 News & Obsfucator:

'The number of "no-match" letters sent out by the Social Security Administration has actually dropped about 85 percent since 2001, based on a policy set before Sept. 11. The agency no longer notifies companies with fewer than 10 nonmatching Social Security numbers and discourages companies with more mismatches from firing employees based on a nonmatch.'

That is disguisting. They should all be punished.

"I represent all of the people in my district," Hunt said in an interview, "and this is a chance to be with them. I do believe that we need to take steps to make it less attractive for immigrants to come to North Carolina. We are too attractive ... in terms of allowing welfare and food stamps and Medicare and that kind of thing."'

I wonder if failing to place the word "illegal" in front of "immigrants" was intentional. Did the N&O misquote him or did he actually say that? I would think he would be intelligent enough not to condemn legal immigrants for coming to North Carolina. Personally, if he did say that, I'd have to agree with him. It seems, these days, even many of the legal immigrants end up being a burden to the system. It's not suppose to be that way, but our federal government seems to be relaxing many of the requirements that use to serve to protect the United States from accepting immigrants that would require welfare and other social programs to survive. I've got no problem with legal immigration (within reason), but I do think we need to tighten the requirements a little.

I don't know if he was misquoted or not. I do know he responds
quickly to my emails & says he is trying to fight the race to the
bottom.

His last comment about eliminating fraud for services is right on
and takes a lot of guts. Not one single dem is doing anything
about it. Our tough ex-prosecutor Guvna Ease-up-on-em-ly has
been stolen by the body snatchers. Check the guvna's mansion
for the pods, Frank. Hunt's respsonse be enough of a quote to alert
some people. He did tell me in an email, he did not attend the
festival.

I see a lot of signs for Hunt's dem challenger in my north raleigh
`hood.

Hey GFC,

If you're feeling down today, I just had lunch with 2 friends who
are staunch dems. I tenuously brought up the subject of Bush's
amnesty & tax relief for felons program. Guess what? They are
madder than a wet hen! I couldn't get a word in. I was overwhelmed
by their anger towards illegal immigration. Maybe all their
carping about Bush's fiscal recklessness broke through to
another part of their brain.

So folks can come around & see the clothes have no emperor.

You know, I think Bush backing amnesty had an unintended
effect. A lot of dems would knee jerk & be for amnesty otherwise.
But if Bush likes it! Whoa, it must be really bad. Let me think...

If dems can get this mad, I shudder to think what a red-blooded
repub is going to do a globalist like McCain in the primary.

I do not think that the amnesty will go through. There is a lot of opposition. The farmers who want the illegal workers are already claiming that they don't think that it will pass according to an article in sunday's edition of the Miami Herald.

Hey Dem4labor,

Would your friends be mad enough to vote for a Republican thats against illegal immigration?
