Immigrant groups prepare big push for reform, are hopeful over the Democrats’ ascendance

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – At a recent strategy session, Hispanic political activists debated ways to characterize the 700-mile fence along the Mexican border approved last month by Congress.

“Berlin Wall” was the language used in the meeting agenda.

“Better to call it the ‘Apartheid Wall’ because of the racial implications,” one man said.

“We should call it what it is – an extension of the ‘Tortilla Wall,”’ another activist suggested, referring to the derogatory name Mexican immigrants gave fences built around Tijuana in the 1970s.

With the Democrats set to take control of Congress next year, pro-immigrant groups are meeting around the nation to devise a new strategy to win amnesty for illegal immigrants, repeal of the Secure Fence Act and more visas for foreigners.

Activists say they have a better chance of gaining reforms under the Democrats than under the Republicans, but believe it will still require intense political pressure and efforts to mold public opinion.

IF you are not already signed up to take advantage of the FREE fax Congress service at NUMBERSUSA…please do it now, the illegal alien/open borders lobby has a similar service and will be doing all it can to convince Congress that “a path to citizenship” [ amnesty-again] is what should be done to stop illegal immigration.

You don’t need a fax machine, only the computer you already have. It is easy and painless….and it works!
