Michelle has a blog report on May Day goings on among illegals. The top pic is priceless. But given the shot frame, it occurs to me the "vagina" in question may not be angry at all, perhaps it's simply hungry? Check out the little Taco Belle!
Here's the debate transcript from the other night in Austin, Tx. The question below produced some truly cringe-worthy moments and likely would have still done so had it been a Republican debate featuring McCain.
RAMOS: (SPEAKING SPANISH) Right now, there are more than 30 million people in this country who speak Spanish. (APPLAUSE) Many of them are right here. By the year 2050, there will be 120 million Hispanics in the United States. Now, is there any downside, Senator Clinton, to the United States becoming (SPEAKING SPANISH) becoming a bilingual nation? Is there a limit?
God forbid anyone stand up for America and our common language, making it official, lest they risk offending the Hispanic special interest groups. But nothing stops them from pushing their multicultural crap with loaded questions like the one above.
I cannot, for the life of me, imagine voting for any alleged American President who in reality lacks the courage to firmly stand up for what America has traditionally been - an English speaking melting pot of various cultures.
If a man or woman can be shamed into not doing that, they can't be expected to have the courage to uphold the oath of office. And it's looking like that will be America's shame in 2008.
Man, if Teddy K didn't have his hand up in this photo, I'd swear these two guys are almost twins.
Let me guess, "What's a guy have to do to get a drink around here, por favor."
The Ninth Annual LULAC National Legislative Awards Gala: Celebrating Legislative Service to the Hispanic Community took place March 1, 2006 in Washington, D.C. LULAC honored Arizona Senator John McCain, Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy and Salt Lake City Mayor Ross C. Anderson.
The LULAC site. But they aren't totally alone - via an unofficial Duncan Hunter website, here's Mike Huckabee basically advocating open borders at a LULAC event in 2005. Exit Question: With alleged arch-conservatives Huckabee and McCain running for the GOP nod, how is it that Teddy K. was left out? They appear to run in the same circles and receive awards from the same crowds?
“I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families …,” Huckabee said as the largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing ovation.
“Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority,” Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter.
Huckabee was the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson, at a noon luncheon of the League of United Latin American Citizens, which is holding its 76th annual convention in Little Rock.
About 10,000 political, community and business leaders, along with exhibitors and speakers are in Little Rock attending the convention at the Statehouse Convention Center. The convention started Monday and runs through Saturday.
Although he never actually talked about the U.S. or Arkansas immigration policy, Huckabee made it very clear where he stood on the issue. In his opening remarks, he said the nation will need to address the concerns of the Hispanic community because of its growing influence and population base.
A serial rapist, twice deported for drug related arrests, has been arrested in multiple rapes of teenage girls amounting to 25 felony charges. He cried in court. That and a jail house conversion would have gotten him halfway to a Huckabee pardon in Arkansas. But it's okay. He was a hard worker and good family man doing jobs Americans wouldn't do, like construction.
Police arrested Batiz Aceves on Friday morning and discovered in less than 24 hours from DNA test results that he is a match for a serial rapist who has been stalking and raping young girls in Chandler for nearly two years, police announced Saturday.
Batiz Aceves, 39, originally from a town in Sinaloa, Mexico, began living in the United States illegally in 1988 and lived in Sacramento for nearly 16 years, where he worked for a construction company, computer records show.
It isn't enough that our students are lagging behind in Math and Science on a Global scale. Or that, in some cases, services including schools and hospitals are being stressed by illegal immigration. Nah! Not to worry, after all, it's just what we should be teaching citizens on the public dime.
Try it legally, Erica Vieyra told her 40 senior Spanish students at Olentangy Liberty High School. Fill out the correct documents, follow the proper steps. And then, after they spent days completing the actual paperwork from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, she took out her red ink pad and stamped a big, fat DENIED across every request.
Now, she told the students, come illegally. Forge your documents, find a way across the border. Then, research real ads and find a place to live in Columbus. Figure out what it would cost, how to get food. Plan how to survive.
Is your heart breaking, yet? Imagine those kids struggling, before going home to Mom and Dad at night. See, now they really understand the issue. What a wonderful application waste of tax dollars.
"I can't begin to fathom how they can survive here," said Yana Lyon, 17. "Everywhere you turn if you try to become legal or help yourself, there's a roadblock."
For her project, Yana assumed the identity of 28-year-old single mother Margarita Sola, a barmaid in Tijuana, Mexico. Yana had Margarita stay at a Columbus Knights Inn until she found a $7.50-an-hour job at Chipotle. Eventually, she rented a Town Street apartment for $320 a month because it was close to a bus stop. She quickly found a man to marry to gain legal residency.
"These kids will become our leaders, maybe even the people who make the laws," she said. "At the very least, they'll certainly be the people who vote on them. Shouldn't they learn something about it all now?"
Are you surprised? Michelle has details.
Allah has video of Huckabee with Chris Wallace today.
His answer on immigration contemplates what kind of admission policy we’ll have if we ever do get the border under control.
Given that he is selling himself as so consistent and compassionate, I really don't get how he can dismiss his using the harshest of language to denounce those on the Right that were opposed to comprehensive immigration reform. His tolerance meter must have been stuck. Or maybe he doesn't mind people being racists and nativists so long as they're voting for him.
"Supported President Bush's immigration plan and claimed that opposition to Bush's proposal was driven by "racism or nativism" and that it wasn't amnesty. (Ralph Hallow, "Huckabee 'Serious' About Presidency," Washington Times, 5/17/06)
A dated Oof! Also please see the quotes below. Does Huck hurting Mitt in Iowa and NH earn him a spot as Rudy's VP? They're certainly making nice.
Gov. Mike Huckabee is proposing extending eligibility for state-funded college scholarships to illegal aliens who graduate from Arkansas high schools — an idea that several legislators predicted will go nowhere.
Huckabee said it’s "terribly unjust" for a child who arrived in Arkansas at a young age and graduated from high school to be denied state-funded college scholarships because of a "a status that he had no control over."
Huckabee’s spokesman, Rex Nelson, confirmed that Huckabee, also a Republican, was referring to illegal aliens.
GIULIANI: I think Mike is a wonderful guy. I have great regard for him. I have nothing bad to say about Mike Huckabee. I have nothing bad to say about any of the, unless they say something bad about me, and then I respond.
HUCKABEE: There is an authenticity about Rudy that people find refreshing. I think the same is true in my campaign.
This head-spinning moment brought to you by Hillary, Inc. h/t Hot Air. Is it "flip-flopping cubed," as Dodd asserts? Actually, yes, given that Hillary was for/against it before she was for/against it. Stay tuned.
WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday came out against granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, after weeks of pressure in the presidential race to take a position on a now-failed ID plan from her home state governor.
Colleen Flanagan, a spokesman for Chris Dodd, called Clinton's position "flip-flopping cubed. She was for it before she was against it, before she was for it, before she was against it."
Talk about bizarre. We know he was a victim, but we also know he was living in a home for "out of control" kids. Now we find out he was illegal and he and his parents and any unmarried siblings under eighteen all get visas because he ran off to Mexico with his 25 year-old teacher. He wasn't even living with his family, but we're going to give them visas?
If the boy, who spent most of his life in Lexington, Neb., qualifies, he could stay legally in the United States for four years and eventually apply for permanent residency. It also would extend temporary residency to his parents and his unmarried siblings under 18, if they applied for it.
"It's a win-win," U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokeswoman Marilu Cabrera said of the so-called "U" visa.
