LaShawn Barber talks about Immigration.

So does Michelle Malkin, who has long been the go-to person for information on illegal immigration and closing the borders.

…The Deputy Headmistress has, in the past, been in favor of open borders.

Jim R,
I hope so…she’s been all over it. There’s a better likelihood that she influenced them rather than the president. I saw a photo in our paper this morning from Tombstone, AZ, where the Minutemen are rallying. A white women held a sign that said, “Osama Bin Laden loves open borders.” Good for her. But walking past her was a Mexican fellow in a dirty red T-shirt on which he had hastily scrawled, “Osama Bin Laden’s not a Mexican.”
How moronic! In addition, the white woman had a look of disdain on her face that made her look like a real Mexican hater or something. That, in my opinion, made the photo biased. The two signs made everything clear. The split-second look on her face was unfair to her and the cause.

Ok, then that means the Border Patrol must be reading La Shawn’s blog Stan.

Jim R,

The President didn’t send an additional 500 agents to the border. He had nothing to do with it. The Border Patrol is sending them. 200 will be taken from Texas and California, leaving those borders less secure. An additional 300 are recruits that have yet to be trained.

“I read that article and thought of you, La Shawn. If the MS13 gang actually does attack the Minuteman Patrol, will the US government come to their aid? If Mexican citizens start murdering American citizens, this whole thing will blow up in Bush’s face. He’d better put the Nat’l Guard down there quick.”

Prophetic Repj. The Prez has just sent 500 new Border Control officers to Arizona.

Don’t tell me the politician’s aids aren’t reading blogs like La Shawns to get a better feel for what the people think are important. Don’t tell me La Shawn’s hard work on her blog and this immigration issue isn’t making a difference.

It is.

RE: How to Report an Illegal..

This is nuts…no police or Border Patrol or Homeland Security folks will get involved in this. And if you happen to pick out a Mexican who is a U.S. citizen you’re leaving yourself open for a lawsuit. Once illegals get more than a mile or two from the border, they’re home free. If you try to report one to any police officer in CA or CHP or Border Patrol agent outside the official checkpoints, you’ll get told to stop bothering them. That’s why the Minutemen at least have the right idea. Notice that they’re not doing this in Tucson or Phoenix…they’re staying close to the border where some agents should be nearby. All this stuff on Michelle’s new immigration blog is irrelevant. The only thing relevant is to put pressure on elected Senators and Reps. in the border states. Or petition the President. The rest is talk, talk and more talk…stirs people up but accomplishes nothing.

It would be much easier to report an illegal employer. I noticed on one of the sites she refers to that Virginia is upset about the illegal workers hanging around. Wouldn’t the most obvious solution be to report the illegal employer that comes to pick them up in his truck or pickup? He’s the problem…he’s hiring them…that’s why they come…

Well, between this and the Terri situation, I think I’m going to ditch the Republican party and vote for the Constitution party. Republicans, at least most of them, might have nice ideas, but they’re much too weak to back them up. I can’t believe that Democrats are still running the show in Congress!

Stan – good point on the MS-13 rant – I had a bit too much ‘go juice’ this AM. I don’t relish the thought of an incident, but the level of panic over this is almost silly. No need to rise to it myself.

You gave me some good advice, and I’ve been passing it along to all the MMP folks – movements like this have a bad reputation becasue of anti-social and irresponsible behavior by others. The burden is on us to conduct ourselves diffrently.

Got to ease up on the diet coke.

Thanks for your support. Will do our best to keep it!

John

La Shawn,

There definitely needs to be a third party. Neither of the two we have now can be trusted.

NCO guy,

I think we’re importing because we are pretty much guaranteeing that they’ll get work. I also think that we’re weaker at the border, not because we have troops abroad but because we don’t have any here. Half of our troops in Iraq are National Guard. They should be here but we probably would need at least 50,000+ regular Army to replace them. Unfortunately, Army recruiting is way down because our guys and girls don’t want to go to Iraq. So, we’re in a world of hurt.

John S,

I’ve been on your side but your rhetoric regarding the M-13 won’t help your cause in any way. It makes you “sound” like a vigilante or mercenary, even though I don’t think you are.
