Hi D.A.,
We went to the McCain traitor rally last nite!

What a horrible, hateful group of people, that support him.I tried to tell people whats happening in our neighborhoods–
I had comments like
“well, just move’
‘you must have made bad choices in your life”
“my sons won’t have to worry about illegals, i’ll make sure they’re educated’
“we don’t worry about illegals,… we have an alarm system!”
“oh really, you really know people that have been killed by illegals?,… well I don’t!!”
I had a sign w/ the mexican flag & american flag- that said- mccain– PICK ONE!
the people around me would block it everytime i raised it up.
I watched Isakson,.. then Chambliss,(they were absolutely ecstatic!!) then his wife— talking about his integrity & how much he cars about PEOPLE (all people)– as they were introducing him– I had to leave— I couldn’t bare to listen.

M.K.

Break the law. Get sent home.
Gainesville Times – Gainesville,GA,USA

Jerry Gonzalez, director of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials, has been a vocal critic of 287(g) in Cobb County, where Sheriff Neil Warren instituted the program in July. Since that time, 1,357 inmates have had deportation proceedings started against them, and ICE has taken custody of 748 illegal immigrants.

This year, Hall, Whitfield and Oconee counties are instituting the program. Deputies from each agency graduate from their five weeks of training on Monday.

Gonzalez said the enforcement program has led to an exodus of workers in Cobb, citing a drastic drop in school enrollment rates for Latinos and apartment occupancy rates that dipped from 90 percent to 75 percent in two weeks.

DA King, a Marietta activist and outspoken critic of illegal immigration, agrees that people are moving out of Cobb as a result of 287(g). … HERE.

Yes, By All Means Let’s Discuss “hate speech”!
Victor Davis Hanson
National Review Online
Saturday, February 02, 2008

RE: Mark K.’s post on La Raza and hate speech: When Ms. Murguia of the National Council of “The Race” announces that “when free speech transforms into hate speech, we’ve got to draw that line ” we don’t know whether to laugh or cry, since her own organization’s very nomenclature “The National Council of La Raza” is hate speech to the core.

No other ethnic organization these days would dare to refer to themselves as “The Race.” Despite all the contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests), reflects the meaning of “race” in Spanish, not “the people” ­ and that’s precisely why we don’t hear of something like “The National Council of the People” which would not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial, and tribal chauvinism.

What we are seeing is that a moderate corrective back to sanity on illegal immigration threatens these extremists and racialist groups to the point of causing hysteria. Apparently, they assumed that no one was ever going to question their racist language deeply embedded in 1960s ‘resistance’ culture.

In this regard, Ms. Murguia could do her part in curbing hate speech by starting with the many campus MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan).affiliates, who have never repudiated all the nonsense of the “liberation of Aztlan,” and on whose websites one can still find the old racist hatred: “Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada,” and new ones like “Anchor babies are destined to transform America ­ although during the California recall election and the implosion of the Cruz Bustamante candidacy, there was the welcome development of seeing that the old motto “A bronze state for a bronze people” suddenly began disappearing off MEChA university websites, no doubt due to the civil-rights humanitarianism of La Raza.

By November I don’t know why either Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama should not have been asked to repudiate the support of an organization self-described as “The National Council of The Race,” or why public funds on campuses go to an organization like MEChA whose very title “Aztlan” refers to the notion of reclaiming parts of the southwestern United States under some Hispanic utopia, and whose affiliates at UC Berkeley and Pasadena City College were implicated in destroying campus newspapers deemed critical. I suggest Ms. Murguia also peruse The Voice of Aztlan, distributed on university campuses, in which disgusting anti-Semitic rants have been commonplace.

Ms. Murguia is absolutely right. We need to draw the line on real hate speech as it pertains to race and questions of ethnic identity ­ and she could make a useful beginning by modifying the name of her very own organization.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR MATTER! LET THEM KNOW ENFORCEMENT WORKS! Video here

Posted by D.A. King at 4:08 pm - Email the author   Print This Post Print This Post  

I read this one in the Washington Post the other day.

Handle Immigration Bills With Care, Kaine Urges

“In an interview with Washington Post reporters and editors, the governor said he understands why many Virginians are frustrated with the rise in illegal immigration. He said he could support some proposals but is worried that many of what he considered draconian bills would hurt Virginia’s economy and reputation.

“We have to be so careful about this,” Kaine (D) said. “We can’t let these immigrant bills go overboard and paint this picture that we are hostile to new Americans. . . . We can’t afford to go over the top on the rhetoric here.”

Entire report HERE.

Not too confident that the Post would be willing to publish my opinion on it, I sent the letter below to the Washington Times…that newspaper did publish my letter. We thank the Times for the space.

Letters to the editor – all editors – are very important and help to blunt the MSM effort to create a false impression that most Americans are willing to ignore the lack of border security and imigration law enforcement. Or that we will accept the next sure – to – come effort at repeating the legalization (amnesty) scheme for illegal aliens.

I hope that everyone is sending letters to newspaper editors all over the nation.

Gov. Kaine, the appeaser

Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine doesn’t want to crack down on the crime of illegal immigration (“Richmond aflutter on illegal aliens,” Editorial, Jan. 14) or risk offending the business lobby by making it more difficult for lobby members to find black-market labor in his state.

At least he is honest. Though he apparently is labeling illegal aliens “new Americans,” real American workers are watching their wages fall and their taxes dollars go to subsidize the employers’ illegal “cheap labor.”

Here in Georgia, we have watched as illegal aliens have packed up and left our state (note from D.A. – video here) for more hospitable places because our legislature passed the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act last year. What we have proved is that enforcement works.

So does appeasement.

Governor Kaine should expect to be able to welcome many former Georgia-based illegals because of his benevolent attitude.

Disappointment reigns over Georgia Senators endorsment – D.A. King walks out

Isakson, Chambliss endorse McCain; ‘Disappointment’ reigns at Christian Alliance meetingSaturday, February 2, 2008, 03:09 PM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Political Insider

D.A. King, an illegal immigration activist and Romney supporter, walked out on Gramm when the former Texas senator defended McCain’s record on immigration.
Full text and opportunity to post comment HERE.

Tension over the Republican race for president bubbled into the open on Saturday, as Georgia’s two U.S. senators endorsed John McCain — to the outrage and disappointment of many of the activists who form the party’s base.

Talk about the move by Saxby Chambliss, who is up for re-election this year, and Johnny Isakson filled the hallways at the annual winter meeting of the Georgia Christian Alliance, a gathering of religious conservatives that attracts many Republican activists.

Both senators are to appear at a 5:30 p.m. McCain rally at the Cobb Galleria.

Isakson attended the GCA meeting this morning.

“The war in Iraq — the war on terror — is to me the most important issue we face,” Isakson said afterwards, explaining why he had cast his personal vote for McCain the day before.

Isakson also mentioned McCain’s opposition to the growth of the federal budget, and uncontrolled spending through “earmarks.”

“He was strong on that before it was cool.”

Said Chambliss, in a telephone interview:

“We’re a strong military state and we need a strong commander in chief,” the senior senator said. “At the end of the day, we’ve got to rally around the fellow that can win.”

Former U.S. senator Phil Gramm of Texas, the national co-chairman of the McCain campaign, appeared before the religious group to argue that McCain’s emergence as the Republican party’s nominee on Tuesday was inevitable.

“I hope we can close ranks,” he said.

D.A. King, an illegal immigration activist and Romney supporter, walked out on Gramm when the former Texas senator defended McCain’s record on immigration.

Pat Tippett, a South Georgia activist who supports Mike Huckabee, had the harshest criticism for Isakson and Chambliss. She said they “have undermined the conservative principles of our party by embracing Senator McCain.”

Said Sadie Fields, chairman of the Georgia Christian Alliance:

“We honor both our senators and hold them in high esteem, but this is disappointing.”

Fields predicted that the impact would be felt at the grassroots level. “It just takes the winds out of their sails.”

Four Georgia congressmen who support Romney held a conference call on Saturday, in which they dismissed the endorsement of McCain by Isakson and Chambliss as an example of Senate “clubiness.”

“The Senate’s a universe of 100 people. They almost seem to be removed from their constituents. I don’t know if they sprinkle them with some sort of dust or whatever,” said U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland of Coweta County.

Georgia’s U.S. Senators Endorse McCain – anti-illegal immigration activists and many Georgians have had enough

Georgia’s U.S. Senators Endorse McCain
Channel 46 CBS Atlanta, Associated Press

ATLANTA — Georgia’s two U.S. senators endorsed John McCain on Saturday night, a move designed to give the Republican presidential hopeful a boost with conservatives in the South.

Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson appeared with McCain at a Cobb County rally just days before Super Tuesday, when Georgia and 21 other states will vote.

The pair called McCain the best candidate to keep the country secure in wartime.

The endorsement created immediate ripples among Georgia’s grassroots conservatives, where McCain is viewed with some skepticism.

Chambliss, who is up for re-election this year, made a point of noting that he has policy differences with the Arizona senator, the author of a failed immigration measure which critics likened to amnesty.

“The willingness to disagree is what good leadership is about,” Chambliss said.

“John McCain is a strong-willed man, but he listens.”

Chambliss was greeted with boos from some of the GOP faithful at a state party meeting last year when he said he supported the McCain-backed immigration bill. He went on to withdraw his support for the measure.

Some conservatives who oppose illegal immigration were quick to condemn the endorsement Saturday.

“I can never, ever vote for Saxby Chambliss again,” D.A. King, head of the Dustin Inman Society, said Saturday night.

King called McCain “the architect of two attempts to provide amnesty to illegal aliens.”

Chambliss defended the endorsement, saying McCain was a candidate the GOP could unite behind.

Isakson also praised his fiscal discipline.

“John McCain was a fiscal hawk before it became popular,” Isakson said.

McCain visited Georgia as part of swing through the South Saturday. He is facing Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul in Tuesday’s contests.

McCain called Isakson and Chambliss “men of tremendous character.”

“I am honored to have their support,” he said.
