I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; the only purpose for “immigration reform” aka amnesty is to guarantee the power base of the Democrat / Progressive Party for the next several decades. It is not about helping people succeed in life, it’s about changing the entire landscape of this country forever. It will crush this nation, and it will dissolve the liberties our ancestors fought and died for some 230+ years ago!!!

Rob   January 27th, 2010 - 7:14 am

Just goes to show you how blatantly immigrants are abused by the left in order to obtain power and then further exploit them.

Liberals have to replace all their aborted baby’s votes…….

The more babies Liberals abort…..

the greater the gap grows between Liberals and Conservatives……

Liberals have to replace those votes somewhere.

The question they better ask themselves those who voted for Obama.. is WHAT has he done for you…& if they choose the progressive path do they realize they will be no better off than they were ..still being controlled..NOT free

NoMoBama   January 27th, 2010 - 7:25 am

I see….so the job of the unions is to “create a governing coalition”…..silly us….we thought that they were working for the benefit of their workers. This moron just spilled the beans outright that SEIU is simply a political wing of the Democrat Party.

yes it would be more dem votes but these Latinos are far from stupid, they would organize quickly and soon we will all be speaking Spanish.

the way this country is going we are being neutered.

Between the PC treatment of Muslim terrorists and the inability to admit all they want is to have an Islamic world and the acceptance of Latino who only want “their country back” America is a mess.

If you wantto stay here you are American ….. you pledge allegiance to the Flag first and formostas your country. You speak English, support Americans at the olympics, you support American teams where they compete at international events. yes you can keep your historical culture but it must not stop you integrating with american culture.

If the SEIU thinks they are going to do anything, they are sadly mistaken. Deportations on mass scale will begin soon.

The democrats have “SLAVE OWNER” mentality. They think these poor dumb folks from south of the border will do our bidding. That’s the goal of the whole party! Get people dependant on Goverment and we will control EVERYTHING!

I personally can’t stand Americans of Latin heritage who are Democrats. They paint their houses an array of horrific bright colors and think Government is always their saving grace. I find that to be a very lazy attitude and this idiot is the poster boy for them.

Why aren’t they demanding that Caledron and cronies step up to the plate and make their country livable and affordable for all of its citizens….not just the super rich! Why doesn’t SEIU go international and start a Union in Mexico…and, Andy, leave us the hell alone!

dano   January 27th, 2010 - 8:02 am

Democrats can create legislation that essentially enslaves millions more for their quest of empowerment. Unfortunately, unless true Democrats begin to understand that their party is being taken over by Progressives, and that once in control will shed them like water off a duck’s back, they are doomed. Unfortunately, we ALL go down with the ship in that scenario.

rookiewatcher   January 27th, 2010 - 8:10 am

Let all of these sell out Americans tell me how and why I should accept amnesty,for criminals,from Omaha beech! The government confiscates my tax money,well make them spend some of it for transportation back to wherever the illegal entrant originated. That will help revive a lousy airline industry and continue to subsidize Amtrak and give new bus drivers a job! Get legal or get out! Get American or get out! Become it,or loose it! Really pretty simple!

democratslie   January 27th, 2010 - 8:20 am

The majority of Latinos are anti-abortion for religious reasons. Besides opposing the relaxation of immigration laws, conservatives need to target those who are here legally, especially the successful middle-class ones, and show them why this government and any government led by Democrats is ultimately contrary to their values and interests.

The Democrats, and some Republicans, are putting American lives at risk for votes. Illegal aliens from other countries (e.g.China, the Middle East, Russia) are crossing our southern border, as well. – God bless and protect America.

rookiewatcher   January 27th, 2010 - 9:05 am

Remember in history where such organizing and rhetoric has taken place. China,Russia,etc.,etc.. Progressive must be French for communist! When I was a child the Civil Defense(gov.)agency taught us to go out in our backyards and dig and build bunkers,stock up on food and water,for when and if the communists attack(fear?). Now they are in the White house(Van Jones and his ilk). We,as Americans,did prepare and resist then and we will resist now! Live free or die! Remember how all the switchboards and servers crashed the first time this garbage was brought up? This time ,with all the anger and dissatisfaction out there today,shall pale that onslaught. America is awakened.

Jonny Marcus   January 27th, 2010 - 9:07 am

Wow,a blatant unholy alliance, between Democrats and immigrants bought and paid for with your tax dollars. Make then all citizens. Let give them full benefits, medical dental and social security for their votes. The good news is that you will get to pay for it with your tax dollars. The US will go deeper into debt and you will be taxed more and receive less. But the progressives will get the voting block and stay in power!

Has anyone ever noticed that progressives are regressive. Just read the preamble to the constitution. Any movement from there is regressing….

ph2691   January 27th, 2010 - 9:10 am

I find it hard to believe that Latino voters from Mexico would vote a socialist agenda, and equally hard to believe that anyone from South America would vote for socialist crap considering how many banana republics there are down there with corrupt socialist governments. Stay in your own country if you want a socialist-dictator government. Stay out of the USA if you don’t love freedom, free market and our Constitution.

yo1   January 27th, 2010 - 9:16 am

Bloodsuckers, boycott all SEIU companies. Drive the bloodsuckers into the sea. Why do we need mexicans when we have millions of blacks on the wellfare roles? Send a mexican home, put a brother to work.

Brian   January 27th, 2010 - 9:19 am

Releasing the clinically insane and bribing the homeless to vote on election day would also add millions of democratic votes. They should get that ball rolling as well.

Shameless.

ph2691   January 27th, 2010 - 9:23 am

And btw, don’t these SEIU idiots and those supporters who fund them with their dues, etc realize that when the non-union jobs disappear that the union jobs will go down the toilet too? Oh America wake-up! Anyone paying dues to a union are just tools for this progressive agenda. People need to kick the unions out of their work place for this very reason.

R Nelson   January 27th, 2010 - 9:26 am

SEIU and their parasite organizations are pure scum ruining this country. These immigrants need to realize that with their own hard work and capitalism, they can have greater freedom and prosperity than the impoverishing socialism offered by the likes of Hugo Chavez/Barack Obama (the same person), except one speaks Harvard-speak and the other Espanol. Hugo is also much smarter than the manchild.

The problem with them keeping their historical culture is that they “always” put it first….you know….mexican-american, asian-american, african-american….get rid of the hypenations!!!! you are either American or you’re not!!! make up your mind become American in every way or get the heck out!!!

That’s right, 8 million votes and take away 8 million jobs. But why would SEIU worry about that, they are making more money with new Union members. These unions don’t care about their workers or the United States. They simply care about numbers, such as this guy just worrying about Democrat votes. Why do we as a country support an organization that it actively breaking the law with illegals and want to destroy our economy.

Real Americans are at war with the radical left. Not “war” in the metaphorical sense, like the “War on drugs” or the equally ridiculous and unsuccessful “War on poverty”. I mean a war that, if we lose, ends with us being enslaved or destroyed. Real Americans are being threatened with eventual slavery or death from these people. That is where their ideology ultimately ends, if we choose not to surrender and fall in line with their global agenda. It’s gulags or gallows for those who don’t conform. A recent example of government by the “Pro-Choice” party is Pelosicare. You can either choose to pay for health care or go to prison – your choice. And she is on video defending this position. Look it up.

The trouble is, real Americans either don’t realize it still, or are unwilling to admit that our survival means more than just winning the next election. For if we defeat them, they will come back tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after. And they will use ANY MEANS at their disposal to rot this country from within. ANY MEANS WHATSOEVER. So, we must drive them from our country, or destroy them altogether. So far, we are not doing what we must to survive. And our economy, our Constitution, and our way of life is in peril.

Joe Ryder   January 27th, 2010 - 10:08 am

Article 1 section 8 Powers of Congress

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

-Every day that the law is not enforced is another day of violating the Constitution. We have laws on the books but they are inconvenient to the Politicians. You see they want votes even unto the destruction of America…and I think that is part of their plan. You see to change America the way that they want to they have to change the citizens. They want those that are ignorant of how our government works and no clue as to how the Constitution sets the rules and rights for our people, and limits and empowers the Government.

Could you imagine if we as Americans spread out over the borders, put up American flags, demanded a voice in Mexico, protested, wanted healthcare, set up business, and told them that when we get a foothold into their government we were going to change the way they govern…there would be war! We on the other hand allow this. What a freaking joke.

You are having a new (neighbor hood) family over for a nice family dinner. But they bring their friends, and those friends bring their family and friends…….pretty soon your house is so full there is no more space to move. They raid your refrigerator…eat all your food….lay down on your beds….and refuse to move…because you have a home….and they want to stay with you. They then refuse to remove themselves from your house!!!!! They want you to feed them!!!! WHAT WOULD YOU DO, MR OBAMA?
This is your private home…and you now have 120 dependants living in your bedroom…..to breed and multiply. What would you do about it mr obama????? You cannot use TAXPAYER MONEY TO SUPPORT THEM!!

They are looking for every opportunity to increase 1. voters and 2. Union members. But they are ‘creative’ so maybe….
If they can find a way to stop abortions and get the babies registered and voting as democrats right away, they will change their stance on a Woman’s right to choose.
If they can get Haiti displaced people added to this ‘roster’ of illegals they will

Sounds crazy? Yes, but then we are talking about SEIU

piperbaye   January 27th, 2010 - 11:02 am

Go ahead, trade amnesty for 8 million votes. In the 2008 presidential election around 124,398,550 total votes were cast, there are 308,565,674 people in the United States of America. Taking into account that many of these are children and the very ill who can’t vote I’d imagine that would still leave around 100,000,000 that could register to vote and probably maybe 50,000,000 who actually would, I would say go ahead and grant amnesty for 8 million illegals and the dims would never be allowed a majority vote for generations. Go ahead , I say go for it. Let the stupidity and suicidal tendencies continue. Don’t stop now.

Do you people realize that simply verbalizing such a plan to undermine the democratic process falls under the crime of Sedition and Subversion? Both which are considered Treason! But I guess when the Justice Department is in the pocket of the Executive branch we can’t expect anyone to look into this. Folks, this has gotten completely out of control!!

H2K   January 27th, 2010 - 11:27 am

The democrat strategy is two-fold: grant voting rights to illegals and increase the percentage of non-taxpaying voting citizens in this country. At that point in time, the government will be giving 51% of the people free healthcare, free food, and free housing. On voting day, these people will be highly motivated to continue voting themselves to be slaves to the government plantation. They’ll know of no other lifestyle. The plantation mentality will be perpetuated until the country fails under it’s own weight.

Remember recent legislation that would register anyone requesting government assistance onto the voting rolls?

It’s happening, my friends. Remember the National Voter Registration Act of 1993? We’re about to enhance that legislation. Beware.

EEuro   January 27th, 2010 - 12:06 pm

Democrats and unions are insane, they think that illegals will keep them in power.

Yes, they will be in power but not for a long time, after ten to twenty years, the former illegals that will be the majority will kick out all white democraps and take over.

Just look at South Afr!ca and Zimbabwe, the future of America is clear to see.

Demodouche   January 27th, 2010 - 12:17 pm

America cannot survive the unrelenting borderless invasion our politicians of both types have allowed to go unchecked for decades. A new era of sustainable legal immigration must begin with more thoughtfull considerations for a modern world. Enpowering an illegal to vote only gives republicans a cheap source of labor and the democrat a vote. Both of the parties have been hellbent to exclude modest changes or allow enforcing of current laws. Any serious public US official must protect the US FIRST.
That is reform you can believe in!!!

98% of campaign spending by unions is directed to Democrats. Union = Corruption. Stop the SEIU now. It only takes 1000 legal US citizens to sign this Petition to the Hawaii Department of Health: http://www.thepostemail.com/2009/12/26/petition/ Please, if you are a legal U.S. Citizen, consider signing this Petition today! Just 1000 legal US Citizens and this chapter in US history is brought to an immediate end. DOCUMENTED LEGAL FACTS. You don’t have to put up with 3 more years of BHO and these tyrants. The danger to the USA is not Barack Obama himself, he is a mere man-child, but the real danger is a citizenry capable of entrusting a man-child like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to allow such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails and is choking the USA. Blaming this prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a “Barack Obama”, who is, after all, merely a fool of a man-child. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president. Those elected have not and do not follow the U.S. Constitution? How is this corrupt loon any different than the whole bunch of them? U.S. is now the Titanic in the world. There is no place to run and no place to hide; you have no laws under the U.S. Constitution once USURPER POTUS is enabled to go forth. The elephant in the living room is NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. The U.S. Constitution is “black and white”, no ambiguity whatsoever. Obama, in his own written word, acknowledged his father was NOT ever a U.S. Citizen; thus, like CA Gov Arnold, he IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT. The governing allowed it, the [so-called free-] press allowed it. AND YES, the electorate has allowed this LIE to continue to this day. The solution is found in the U.S. “dimwit” citizenry.

WHOSE SIDE IS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ON: America’s — or the terrorists’?

“It’s just insane that a lawyer who defended Osama bin Laden’s driver and bodyguard — and who sought constitutional rights for terrorists — could be one of the Obama administration’s top legal officials.

But there’s Neal Katyal, occupying a top perch at the Justice Department as the principal deputy solicitor general.

Then there’s Jennifer Daskal — who just months ago was an anti-Guantanamo activist. Now she’s in Justice’s National Security Division — working on detainee issues. (JUST REPORTED BY NEW YORK POST).”

Of course the union exec vp, when union members mostly now work for government owned or partly owned organizations, would seek passage of Amnesty for the Illegal Aliens [many who would become added votes for democRATS. He would favor growing government to increase future union jobs and dues union collections at the expense of bankrupting America.

Amnesty for illegals would be disasterous for America. It would emsconce insane dem rule for many years to come, make our country a tower of multi-lingual bable with balkinized culture leading to internal conflicts, giving moral equivalence to all illegal aliens will bring in diseases and incompatible cultural customs from backward countries, it would stress our healthcare system diluting care standards for everyone, it would stress our educational institutions [pupil to teacher ratios], it will overcrowd our jails, it will add potential voters who do not appreciate our democratic capital system because they were raised in a culture of corruptions, dictatorship……. A TOTAL DISASTER FOR AMERICA!
