ANSWER Manipulates Illegal Immigrants

Monday was the nationwide ‘boycott,’ the one promoting illegal immigration into our country. Who is behind this nationwide demonstration? What is their goal? Somebody had to organize this. Somebody had to fund it.

Many of the demonstrators were people making a minimal wage. These people work their tails off in landscaping, food service, housekeeping, construction and food processing jobs. I’m sure most are honest. Most work very hard. But no matter what certain business interests say about their importance to our economy, they are illegal.

What group or groups spread the word, organized these illegals and encouraged them to give up a day of their low-paying jobs to demonstrate and protest?

What do these groups have to gain? It has to be something political, the quest for power. Political power for those who aren’t even citizens? Who were the organizers?

One answer was in the Washington Post. No right wing rag by any means, the paper reported that one of the organizing groups behind the protest was a something called ANSWER. ANSWER stands for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism. No right wing nut himself,
Lou Dobbs of CNN reported that they are a radical, leftist group. If their cause is correctly described by their name, what do they have to do with the rights of illegal immigrants?
Other that to stir up people who should have no rights of American citizenship anyway?

And the day they picked to protest was interesting, too. Anyone who was brought up during the Cold War knows that the first day of May was traditionally the day in which all Communist regimes celebrated their cause.

I believe in immigration. Legal immigration, that is. My grandparents on my mother’s side came here from Eastern Europe around the turn of the last century.

But they did it legally, as have millions of others.

Why should this new group, invading through our Southern border, be any different?

They shouldn’t.

Our border with Mexico presents a grave risk, not only to our economic security, but to our vital National Security interests. By not controlling who is coming across, we don’t who they are. We don’t know what diseases they carry. By letting them invade our country unchecked, could we be encouraging some time bomb to be set off in some future insurrection?

We need to secure our Southern border now.

To Joan Bowman -

I agree with the sentiment of your comments.

I am fortunate to work in an environment rich in diversity. Nearly half of the people I work with are hispanic. They are fine people, hard workers, and very family oriented. But those who came here from other countries came here legally.

Other immigrants with whom I work have come from The Phillipines, the Caribbean islands and Eastern Europe. Again, all came here legally.

Powerful business interests have manipulated the administration and Congress to look the other way concerning our unprotected Southern border.

As far as ANSWER is concerned, they are tryin to manipulate these millions of illegals into some type of influencial block. To what end?

By controlling our Southern border we will be blocking several dangerous trends.

1. The depression of wages by an underclass of illegal workers.

2. The drain on local governments' resources and tax bases.

3. The tidal wave of unknown individuals invading our country.

You are also correct in saying that the problem is in Washington. The administration and Congress are being bought off by lobbyists and campaign contributors who have a vested interest in allowing these illegals into the country to work for substandard wages in industries they either own or represent.

Thank God for the Internet. I'm hoping my blog and others like it wil keep the discussion going. Maybe there is a way to change the direction we are going.
