Think the mass protests we’ve seen in favor of illegal immigration were just spur of the moment gatherings organized by grass roots, run of the mill, everyday illegal immigrants? If so, guess again:
One of the key organizers of the immigration protests and rallies nationwide, including yesterday’s in Washington, is a group whose leaders are tied to the Workers World Party, a Marxist organization that has expressed support for dictators Kim Jong-il of North Korea and Saddam Hussein of Iraq.
Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition, which also has proposed a nationwide boycott on May 1 to protest congressional efforts at immigration reform and border security, is an offshoot of the International Action Coalition, an anti-capitalism group founded by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
In a press release celebrating a March 25 rally in Los Angeles against immigration-law enforcement that drew an estimated 500,000 people, ANSWER said it helped organize “a major contingent in the march” and provided logistical support. The march was co-chaired by Juan Jose Gutierrez, director of Latino Movement USA, who also is a member of ANSWER’s Los Angeles steering committee.
“We are people of dignity, and we demand respect,” Mr. Gutierrez said at the rally. “This is the beginning of a movement that is going to call for a national work stoppage.”
Another ANSWER member who spoke at the rally, Gloria La Riva said: “The racist politicians thought they could step on us with their racist legislation, but they have awakened the immigrant giant, and they will feel our strength when we stop work.”

Us normal everyday working class folks will have to get out of our offices to protest and counter their protests. But who will lead us? Nobody. That be the problem.
Why not get Frist and Hastert to lead the protests? They are supposes to be GOP leaders, right?
Gloria’s statement, ““The racist politicians thought they could step on us with their racist legislation, but they have awakened the immigrant giant, and they will feel our strength when we stop work.””
…. sounds like a threat to me. I’d word it this way, “The non-negligent politicians thought they could try to address national security issues with respect to illegal immigration legislation, but they awakened the illegal immigrant giant and marxists/communists, and this country will feel their strength when they stop work and we hope that awakens the rest of the country who is interested in national security and helps the politicians FOLLOW htrough with not being negligent.
That would not be tactful solitaire. While Democrats leaders have school children write letters saying, “Please Republicans don’t cancel my school lunch” (even though the accusation wasn’t true), and have elderly citizens come into the capitol to protest Medicare changes (with untrue/false characterizations), and invite the Cindy Sheehan’s and Micheal Moore’s of the world, I have not seen like behavior by the above the fray Republicans.
Republicans have shown through history that they are mealy mouthed, weak -kneed, spineless, slightly left of center, wanting people to like them wimps mostly. Except for Tom Tancredo and a few others.
I saw a speech that George Allen gave and he shook my hand. While he is an above the fray kind of guy (in other words he has tact), he is a conservative. But he won’t be doing the low things that Hillary, Rangel, Reid, Pelosi, Kennedy have been doing this past year.
You know, I must admit I’m a little confused. Wasn’t it the democrats who were bashing the Bush administration a few months ago because he wasn’t doing anything about the immigration problem? I seem to recall two governers who were democrats who declared states of emergency because of the immigration problem. Now they seem to be howling mad that they are addressing the problem. I mean, am I wrong? I’m not trying to bash anybody, it just seems like there was a change of heart all of a sudden by the democrats.
Anything to score points NC Cop. It’s not about solving problems for them.
“We are people of dignity, and we demand respect” Mr. Gutierrez said at the rally.
For one thing respect is something that is earned and if you had any dignity you wouldn’t be breaking the laws in this country! So put that where the sun doesn’t shine Mr. Gutierrez.
did anyone see ted kennedy hanging out with the protesters? like he would every have one over for dinner. he might have one mow his lawn. we do need a solution to the illegal immigration problem.
Waves of immigrants have hit the shores before. They eventually are accepted and become part of the American landscape. If the Dems recognized the uselessness of riling up racial hatred to resist the assimilation of these people, and instead are helping to insure a peaceful entry to the citizen process, and by doing so win over a majority of the future voters, then they just outsmarted the GOP. When the GOP heard from their business supporters, the money behind the king, look how quickly the ‘kick them out, the felons’ speeches ended! But they will never get the new votes. They showed their true racist colors too quickly.
Throw ‘em out? What BS! Felons? Yeah, sure.
Waves of immigrants who came legally solitaire.
Outsmarting the GOP with illegality? You guys can have it along with your false allegations. Good principles for you but not for me.
Racist colors? You’re a sicko. Very sick man. Does your mom know you do this? She’d be ashamed I’m sure at your tactics…
Waves of immigrants have hit the shores before.
Yea they hit the shores at Ellis Island and entered the United States “LET’S ALL SAY IT” Legally unlike the Illegal Hispanic Immigrants.
The Dems are great at race bating as well as using class warfare and peaceful entry would be to obey the laws of the country you are entering. As far as assimilation these illegals are not, how often do you have to make a choice of Spanish or English when calling a business, Government Office or using an ATM.
Solitaire you don’t even know the meaning of the word “Racist” so here it is:
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Here is the definition of prejudice:
Irrational suspicion or hatred of a particular group, race, or religion.
You liberals love to throw around words without knowing what they mean. Next time before spewing words try looking them up in a dictionary.
