Immigrants do not require amnesty. THANK YOU Ms. Litland!

Maria Litland/Letter to the Editor: Defeat of official English bill a shock

Published: 03/08/2008

D.A. King’s Feb. 28 MDJ column about the official English resolution being voted down was shocking and made me very sad. I pray that it will get another vote at the Capitol.

Have we gotten to the place where it is unpopular with politicians to proudly say we should all speak English and that it is the language for our government?

If we already have a law but are using multiple languages for our driver’s license testing anyway, it looks like we aren’t paying any more attention to this law than Washington is to our borders and immigration laws.

I am an immigrant. I came to this wonderful nation legally and I am proud to speak more than one language, but I don’t expect anyone to offer me government tests or services in any language other than English. The myth that doing this will make immigrants assimilate faster is nonsense. We are not helping new immigrants by stalling their English lessons in real life! King is right and most of us can see the truth.

The same people who fight enforcement of our immigration laws are the ones who try to discourage a common language for America and Georgia.

The business people who fight against English will hear from me, too.

The group that has caused so much trouble here in Cobb County, MALDEF, works very hard to stop English usage. Shame on them and shame on any politician who votes no on English.

This is one immigrant who understands that the tower of Babel story in the Bible is a very good picture of what will happen to us if we lose the only thing keeping us together. A singular, official language. That is how they do it in Mexico.

Immigration split still hangs over McCain and Republicans

March 05, 2008

While John McCain was being coronated as the heir apparent at a highly publicized White House meeting with President Bush, his colleagues on Capitol Hill couldn’t resist rolling out what could be described as a Lou Dobbs dream package of immigration bills.

It was one of those moments where one had to wonder if the right hand of the Republican Party was talking to the left, er, moderate hand.

Immigration is the preeminent issue that has divided McCain from his party, as he has supported an ill-fated comprehensive immigration overhaul, including a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants…

WE PROVED AMNESTY/LEGALIZATION DOES NOT STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IN 1986

Dustin Inman Society rally this evening! NO TO AMNESTY-AGAIN!

All: We are protesting the 2005, 2006, 2007 and the sure to come 2009 or 2010 McCain/Kennedy legalization legislation and reward for illegal aliens – and amnesty for their campaign donating criminal employers.

We support the rule of law and its equal application!

We support the concept of attrition of the illegal population through enforcement of existing laws. The illegal immigration crisis will take years to fix, just as it did to occur. It did not happen overnight and cannot be solved overnight. Legalization does not stop illegal immigration or illegal employment.
NO MORE AMNESTY! Attrition through enforcement HERE.

WE HAVE NO OTHER AGENDA! If you do, please stay home.

For the last three years, we have rallied, e-mailed, called about and been successful in stopping the big money elite led by Teddy Kennedy and John McCain from passing another legalization bill (amnesty) for illegal aliens. See photos of our past efforts HERE.

No matter who is elected president, we will have to fight more attempts to open our borders with amnesty as the first step. Today we have a chance to respectfully show our opposition to the GOP money and McCain himself, along with the world’s media.

We hold a permit/ letter from Atlanta Police and the Atlanta Mayor’s office to peaceably assemble in front of the Westin Buckhead Hotel – Peachtree Rd. NE, Atlanta, Ga. (Lennox Mall – this is NOT downtown!) beginning at 5:30 – 7:30. Please come and support our effort to send a message to Senator McCain that legalization is far from the agenda of the base voters he needs to win the election. Please come let the open borders lobby see that we are not going away. More details here. If you need directions pls use Mapquest

IF you come: I HAVE GIVEN MY WORD THAT WE WILL BE PEACEFUL, RESPECTFUL AND WILL NOT BE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. WE WILL USE THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK TO DISPLAY THE PLACARDS THAT I WILL BRING. Please DO NOT BLOCK THE SIDEWALK FOR PEDESTRIANS. DO NOT BRING ANY SIGNS OR BANNERS! DO NOT BRING ANY MEGAPHONES, STICKS POLES OR SOUND EQUIPMENT. I HAVE ALL NEEDED SIGNS WITH THE MESSAGE WE WILL PROJECT. IF ANYONE FROM THE OPEN BORDERS LOBBY IS THERE SMILE AND WAVE!!!

ANYONE WITH AN AGENDA/ACTIONS DIFFERENT FROM THE ABOVE WILL BE REMOVED.

For those who cannot come to the rally today but want to send a message to the GOP and McCain campaign: contact that campaign here with a message “Dear Senator McCain: unless you promise to secure our borders and enforce our immigration and employment laws without a legalization process for illegals, I cannot vote for you in November…”

One more time: DO NOT BRING SIGNS OR BANNERS…I HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED
I hope to see you there!

Gingrey Statement on Senate Immigration Compromise

U.S. Congressman Phil Gingrey today made the following statement regarding the preliminary details of the Senate’s compromise immigration legislation:

“In the past, the Senate has come up with some truly outrageous plans for dealing with the millions of illegal immigrants in our nation, from consulting with Mexico on a border fence to giving illegal immigrants workplace protections that law-abiding Americans don’t enjoy. We have learned to closely scrutinize their bills, and I fear this new compromise may simply be amnesty by another name. Citizenship is a precious commodity, and we need to ensure our immigration laws benefit the American people, our security and our economy. We can’t bankrupt our government services by granting the biggest handout of all: amnesty.

McCain answers the below question

Current immigration policy is doubling US population within the lifetimes of today’s children. Since you support this policy, will you at least say when we should stop?

One billion people? Two billion? Three?
