Just last week I wrote that immigration reform may be on the back burner but it's far from quiet. Unfortunately, any push for reform is going to be met with protest from the anti-immigration groups. Well hold on to your hats, folks, because things are heating up.
Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC) is organizing tea parties against immigration reform to be held on November 14th. The anti-immigrant group has put together a new website at www.AgainstAmnesty.com to promote the upcoming events.
Our mission is to conduct rallies and protests, titled Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration, across America. We hope that these events combined with our lobying [sic] efforts and support for campaigns will stop these attempts to destroy America through mass illegal immigration and amnesty.
Will the events be peaceful? That seems to be the group's intent.
Our protests against Amnesty are open to all Americans and groups that share our nonviolent and non-racist multi-ethnic and bi-partisan support for secure borders and immigration enforcement. Any groups, individuals, or materials that are not appropriate will not be allowed in our permitted areas.
Peaceful, maybe, but ALIPAC president William Gheen is known for his hard line approach.
"Make my day punk!" said Gheen. "[Rep. Luis] Gutierrez and his fellow traitors in Washington know they are running out of time on this Amnesty legislation and since 78% of Americans oppose what they are trying to do and many consider it Treason."
I don't know what poll Gheen is using, but if he's quoting the recent CNN poll that's making the rounds, he might want to look at this blog post from America's Voice.
The tea parties will ramp up again in Spring 2010, just around the time we expect immigration reform discussions to take place in Congress. And why would the anti-immigration reform groups need a second wave of tea parties? Because they're not going to stop the push for reform, that's why.

LOL, quoting comments from America’s Voice — an organization with proven ties to the Mexican government. Try quoting a more reputable source next time.
@MaryJ – What?!?! Are you suggesting that an immigration support group maintains contact with the government of the nation where most immigrants come from in the first place? Well Heaven forfend! What’s your next shocker, that real estate agents have been seen speaking with people who want to sell their home?
Shane: Perhaps you should have given more thought to my post before dashing off your oh-so-”clever” retort.
Or is it that you are really too stupid to understand that an organization which acts as agent for a foreign government — which lobbies for immigration policies that are advantageous to that foreign government but not necessarily advantageous to the American people — is not a credible source of information on Americans’ attitudes to illegal immigration amnesty.
I stand by my comment. “Mexico’s Voice” is not a credible source of information.
As America suspected the House Health Care reform Bill Contains an identification mechanism that increases distress? So despite the inclusion of the Democrat so-called verification system in the latest health care bill, this identification procedure will be almost non-effective to omit illegal immigrants from accessing the taxpayer-funded afford ability credits. My thought is that this was intentional, so that the majority of illegal aliens already holding a fraudulent social security card, of a deceased person, a young child’s number of even one of our soldiers fighting in some obscure country can still get access. E-Verify should be used for just this reason, along with a current government ID to spot unauthorized entrance to any health care program. See compilation of Social Security Laws http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/ssact/title19/1903.htm. Sen. Sessions a champion amongst anti-illegal immigration proponents, took to the Senate floor fighting for American workers and the protection of American jobs.
When the Senate debated the bill to extend federal unemployment benefits for 14 weeks, Senator Sessions filed an amendment to permanently extend the E-Verify program. Outrageously, the Sessions amendment was stripped from the final version of the bill by the House-Senate committee members that included Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi. In the Democratic majority Homeland Security Appropriations bill, they in conclusion authorized E-Verify for just three years. Unfortunately this leaves the enforcement program pregnable to the–AMNESTY ZEALOTS? These opponents can monopolize any long-term or permanent reauthorization of E-Verify as collateral in leverage for the course of mass amnesty for the 20 to 30 million illegal immigrants squatting in this nation You guessed it?–Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) filed a motion to cut off debate–invoking cloture–on the unemployment compensation extension bill without initially giving the Senate time to vote on the Sessions amendment.
WE SHOULD INDELIBLY REMEMBER THIS ANTI-AMERICAN WORKER LEGISLATOR, AND THROW HIM FROM OFFICE IN 2010 AS HE PROVED WITHOUT ANY DOUBT FOREIGN LABOR IS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM THAN HIS OWN COUNTRYMEN Along with House Speaker Pelosi and all Democratic leadership, they have used their influence to collude with corporate lobbyists subversive open border organizations to starve Immigration enforcement of full funding and a voice in Washington since coming to power. Yet this doesn’t mean that either Bush’s or prior administrations are without fault in securing the border or stopping the hordes of illegal aliens from breaking our laws. Recently Fifty-four Representatives sent the president a letter expressing their support for 287 G – the government training program that allows agents from the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deputize state and county law enforcement agencies in the enforcement of federal immigration laws.
. Simply speaking, the cited, 287 G, was—NOT– just designated to be confined to habitual criminals and gangs as some have purposely mislead, but constructed to let state and regional enforcement officials assist in enforcement of—ALL–immigration laws; removing illegal immigrants from the streets and highways. It could become prevalent within any city and neighborhood precincts, if that particular police department has been deputized and trained according to the 287 G program. Sadly, many cities have failed in this measure owing to the—SANCTUARY CITY—policies. If San Francisco and Los Angeles has empowered its police departments to adopt 287 G, the deaths of many innocent citizens could have been prevented. Other cities may still be held at fault, because they too had pro-illegal immigration city councils and managers who ignorantly ignored the people plea to enforce immigration laws such as 287 G?
To date the pro-illegal immigration letter signed by a group in the Democratic leadership has declared a “commitment to repair our broken immigration system” These groups have expressed a strong support for moving forward on comprehensive immigration reform–AMNESTY– this year, which are strongly back by giant business consortium’s. The signers of the letter has overseen by Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), a well-known amnesty zealot who, earlier this year, spent weekending events, pushing his AMNESTY proposition amongst congregational religion, Union halls, ethnic caucuses in his tours nationwide.
Outside of this growing distressing dilemma, my Mother-in-Law asked me if E-Verify could be used to determine the credit and background of people who apply for store leases or the purchase and renting of homes. This would be a compatible as an invaluable need with credit bureau reports, so illegal immigrants could be detected in Indianapolis. E-verify, a computerized tool has been adequately funded, which means ongoing modification and simplicity of use; along with the 1-9 paperwork. Further use could be Drivers license identification, auto registration, auto insurance, health care applications, IRS tax credits, home and store leases and renting, election voting and as of now removing foreigners from work locations?
Today we are bombarded on all sides by the inflow of foreign nationals, who in many cases can disappear leaving landlords with huge bills. E-Verify is possibly the best weapon to retaliate against illegal immigration. Senators and Representatives are all suspect, so call them at 202-224-3121. Only because of angry repercussions of THE PEOPLES response, that under intense pressure E-Verify survived. Business interests and the open border groups would have torn it away, but recognition came by thousands of blogger’s who notified the public already tired of supporting corporate welfare and their illegal alien hires and family members. It’s not over yet because thousands of piratical business and radical groups have massive financial influence on lawmakers we voted to govern us? Be aware of immigration issues and immigration enforcement grading at NUMBERSUSA, Learn about corruption lawsuits, including ACORN sleaze at JUDICIAL WATCH. AMNESTY means OVERPOPULATION that needs your urgent attention at CAPSWEB.
Has anybody thought of the consequences of comprehensive immigration reform? Should this AMNESTY pass, you can expect millions more to compromise our national border in one fail swoop. They will get past the fence anyway they can, they will fly in from every dingy corner of the world. They will come and keep coming until our highways will be death traps, our streets slaughter houses. We will be become recluses in our own home, hiding from illegal gang members and perverts preying on our children. We have enough of our criminal element in cells, without housing and feeding other lands people.
