Illegal Aliens Protest Bush's Immigration Plan In Los Angeles

   So once again we have the illegal aliens and their support groups crying fowl over the fact that the United States government wants them to go home and then apply for entry into the United States legally.

   Some 15,000 protestors had a gathering in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday to protest Bush new immigration plan which calls for the illegal aliens to apply for 3-year work permits that would then be renewed indefinitely but would cost $3,500 each time the permits are renewed.

   Some of the protesters have said that the cost of doing this would be more expensive than the mules that the illegal aliens paid to bring them into the United States illegally.    Source

To get a permit and become legal permanent residents, illegal immigrants would have to return to their home country, apply at a US embassy or consulate to re-enter legally and pay a $10,000 fine.

Critics of the proposal, which include Hispanic advocacy groups and unions made up of a large number of immigrants, argue the cost of work permits and the green card application, which could total more than $20,000, is prohibitive for low-wage earners.

Alfredo Gonzalez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who marched on Saturday with his wife and daughter, said he feared the immigration raids occurring across the country.

"If they kick me out, who is going to take care of my daughters? The government? I don't think so," he said. "We need full legalisation and need it now."

   The problem with Mr. Gonzalez is that he and his wife shouldn't  have had a child in this country in the first place! Like many, all, of the illegal aliens, who sneak into this country, he thought that he was going to have a happy vacation here forever.

   I think that if the United States government wants to deport people and families like Gonzalez, then they should send the child back to the parents country with them. Something like this would surely slow the flood of illegal aliens down somewhat if they realize that coming here and having a child will not get them permanent visitation rights.

   And what's with these illegal aliens having unions? If you are here illegally, then that union that you are in doesn't mean shit!

  Go back home and then come back into the United states legally, like most aliens do.

Carl Levin ( D-MI ) What An Idiot!

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin ( D-MI )

"We're very strong in supporting the troops, but we're also strong on putting pressure on the Iraqi leaders to live up to their own commitments. Without that political settlement on their part, there is no military solution. We can keep the benchmarks part of the bill without saying that the troops must begin to come back within four months."

"And what we will leave will be benchmarks, for instance, which would require the president to certify to the American people if the Iraqis are meeting the benchmarks for political settlement, which they, the Iraqi leaders, have set for themselves."   FoxNews

...and he's calling me in despair, wanting to know what the Democrats are doing to end this bloodbath and get his buddies out of that meat grinder.  Fathers conversation with son in Iraq

   I sometimes wonder if Carl Levin and a few other of the Democrats that we hired to get the troops out of the Iraq war are really Republicans in disguise. Why do I continue to get the feeling that the Democrats don't want to end this war any more than Bush does?

   One more time! If Congress would just go ahead and cut the fucking funds then the U.S. involvement is over, period! That would be showing our troops that you support them. Not giving Bush certain dates to begin withdrawing them, but making this punk begin taking them out now would be showing support for our troops!

   Cutting the war funds would be supporting the troops, it would not be supporting the war. There is a difference!

   And if Carl Levin is stupid enough to believe that Bush would be honest when it comes time to certify that the Iraqis are holding up to their benchmarks, then he needs another career! I also have some beach front property I'll sell him cheap, in Baghdad.
