The Trail: A Daily Diary of Campaign 2008

Sorry for that guy AngriestDog...I like the Latin Americans BUT, they should come into the country legally. The U.S. is not Latin America. People come to the U.S. to get away from inept and unfair Latin American governments. So, yeah, amigos, you're all welcome, but legally, not illegally. It's not surprising that McCain is soft on immigration as he himself was born in Panama.

We will drive you gringos back where you come from.

We make more children than you old dying gringos and we need not vote cards to win. You lose. We win. We will vote you back to where you come from and take our land back. Go home gringos. Si, cue puedo.

Illegal immigrants are criminals! Who can deny this? No to amnesty. That will lead to 14 million more illegal Mexicans breaking into the U.S.

Illegals do get some benefits, public education cannot be denied to illegal children. Illegals get other social benefits in states that they have overwhelmed, such as, California. I would like to see some news stories and stympathy for U.S. citizens whose identies have been stolen and abused by illegal immigrants.

Both Democratic and Republican candidates have stated that our immigration system is completely broken, and I agree with both candidates comprehensive immigration reform is desperately needed.
Let's send Tancredos´s Italian A** back to Europe.
To all Latinos, Don't give up your constitutional rights to make "White" America safer

The last attempts in Congress to grant amnesty, many mini amnesties, SCHIP for illegals and other TAX PAID Benefits to illegals were opposed by nearly 80 percent of the American public.

Now, 90 percent of Americans refuse to listen to the BS comprehensive amnesty and SPP proposals. One whisper of it in Congress will be met by an avalanche of faxes, phone calls and emails. The congressional representatives and Senators know it is a non starter for both McCain and Obama.

Our House members are elected (or not) every two years and they will not sacrifice their jobs to appease a foreign government while alienating American constituents. And, no President is that stupid to try to usurp the will of an angry fed up nation.

There will never again be another illegal alien amnesty and, if enough citizens start calling their representatives and Senators this week, we can win the war against the illegal invasion before November.

Build the Wall! Enforce immigration laws in ernest and the illegals will self deport. Deny illegals public benefits. Change the 14th amendment to prevent its abuse by illegal aliens. Make English the national language and save $100 billion a year. Call your Senator today and demand he vote for American security, sovereignty and the 90 pecent of citizens who are fed up with illegal aliens abusing our nation.

I myself welcome the Hispanics. I like everything about their culture, which stands in stark contrast to my own (wonder bread and pot roast). You guys have made the USA everything it is and more. I hope I live long enough to be considered a minority to the point that I want to move to a Latin Country. The one thing I do know, I will be treated far better than you guy's are treated in this sad Country of Bigots. I apologize for the ignorant whities, who have this need to protect the white people. Too many comic books as a child, not enough history. I should also note I was a BIG supporter of the last Amenesty program, and that is what really flushed this country into the economic powerhouse that Bush subsequently destroyed.

** WHO IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES FROM THE "RECONQUISTA" INVASION BY THE HATEFUL , RACIST , TERRORIST GROUP "LA RAZA" ??? **

Why condemn McCain for seeking the support on non-traditional Republican voters. Obama has been going around kissing everyone's ass lately (for those he hasn't bought off) and you don't condemn him. You think it's just wonderful to even think of it. I believe he was the one who stated that the Hispanic/Latino citizens were stealing jobs from "his people". Now, he wants their support. So, stop being so biased and hypocritical when McCain seeks and speaks to all of the masses. The writers at the Post are becoming no better than those at Newsweek and we all know that they've been on the Obama train since day one.. Have some respect and common decency.

"You gringos are just lazy and stupid. Go back to Africa, Asia and Europe before we make you leave. "

Case proven !! This is an Invasion.

Americans of all RACES stand up for your Country before it is to late.

When our migrant families and amigos vote in November, we'll be 50 percent of the nation electerate and we decide the election. We don need amnesty to win the election. We don need real ID card to vote. We can vote now - Si, cue pudeo.

You gringos are just lazy and stupid. Go back to Africa, Asia and Europe before we make you leave.

Send all politicians to the unemployment line. None can be trusted. Like McCain and his secret meetings!

Its very SAD this did not start out as a RACE issue,but the growing ILLEGAL Latin population has made it into one, along with the confused American traitors of Mexican descent.

The Only Racists here are the LA RAZA, MECHA and every other PRO_ONLY_LATINO pew.

These groups want to take the US back to the Mexico, if you don't me believe look it up. Force everyone to speak and write in SPANISH (yes, that includes non-whites!)

ICE are not the S.S. dear Liberals they are doing their job by protecting American Citizens from Criminals.

Example: Latin America is sending their people to Europe,Asia and the US.

Why do you think the President of Venezuela was so upset that the EU is kicking all the LATINO_ILLEGALS out. He threatened to pull Europe's Oil!

South America is trying to Colonize and take over the world.

You dumb liberal are willing to help with open arms.

We not while there is still GOD watching over this nation and every American from every RACE can still vote!

Both McCain and Obama agree on comprehensive immigration reforms. US immigration system is broken and in intensive therapy. This situation has given conservative Republicans the opportunity to thump on the Latino community regardless of their legal status. Republican Party will pay the consequences with votes.
Latinos.- Do not give up your constitutional rights to make "White" America safer. Racial Profiling is Illegal

What the hell is wrong with Tom Tancredo? Republican Presidential Nomination DROP OUT because no one would support him?
Who cares what he has to say!! Lets send his A** back to Italy.
Deport all Europeans!!!!
Build a fence on the Mexican and Canadian Border and lest keep all racists within it.... The world will be safer....

McCain's "Latino Problem" will cost him CO, NV and NM and the election.

John McCain and other like-minded people need to heed the immortal words of Teddy Roosevelt: "The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife."

All the 08 Pres politicians are idiots.

MALDEF, Laraza and Calderon et al all want family reunification after the illegals get amnesty.

The US already has 20 percent of El Salvadors popualtion - that popualtion would double with extended family reunification.

If given extended family reunification under a grand amensty, Illegal Mexicans
would grow the US populatrion by 50 million over night.

The US is full. It is time to place a moratorium on all immigration and Visas until we can sort out who is here, kick out the MS13 and Al Queda and then decide what is best for America and Americans not the special ethnocentric interest groups.

With the extremist anti-American supremacist propaganda spewed by the pro amnesty groups - Fidel Calderon, Mexicans without Borders, Council LaRaza, Mecha, LULAC, MALDEF etc, sometimes it is easy to forget that Americans of all descents are opposed to illegal immigration and the "special interest" demands of the above open border gangs.

Case in point is Rosanna Pulido who was the critic in the secret Chicago meeting.
"He's one John McCain in front of white Republicans. And he's a different John McCain in front of Hispanics," complained Rosanna Pulido, a Hispanic and conservative Republican who attended the meeting.

Pulido, who heads the Illinois Minuteman Project, which advocates for restrictive immigration laws, said she thought McCain was "pandering to the crowd" by emphasizing immigration reform in his 15-minute speech. "He's having his private meetings to rally Hispanics and to tell them what they want to hear," she said. "I'm outraged that he would reach out to me as a Hispanic but not as a conservative."

Rosanna Pulido and Tom Tancredo both know that time has come for the United States Congress and WH to stop looking the other way and to act on behalf of this nation's sovereignty, security and citizenry first and foremost.

OBama and McCain need to learn that - especially McCain as Bob Barr is at the border fighting the corruption McCain and Obama want to legalize.

No Amnesty! Build the double layered Wall! Deport the illegals or make them self deport! Make English the national language! Rightly translate the 14th Amendment and legislate the end of abuses to birthright citizenship (Pass HR1940).

Shut up Tancrazy! You should have learned how Americans feel about you. What a pitiful primary you had. If you want to know how the average intelligent American feels about these hard working family oriented immigrants. just use logic gumba. Every single anti amnesty candidate got their butt kicked. Don't get fooled when you read message boards. Most people that post negative racial innuendos on the Internet are angry society rejects and nobody cares about them. Amnesty now.

------------------------------------------

Keith you are right, just go around looking for immigration news and you'll find "Brittanicus" and other paranoid society rejects pushing their xenophobic remarks everywhere they can. They might be loud mouths, but they absolutely do not represent the pragmatic and compassionate view the wide majority of Americans have on this issue. Thank you Senator McCain for remaining an independent who can see through the bigotry and hate of a few and come up with the viable, practical solution the country needs. Comprehensive Immigration and family reunification now!

LATINO'S DON'T TRUST MCCAIN HE'S PANDERING FOR YOUR VOTE. WHY DID HE HAVE TO MEET WITH LATINO LEADERS IN PRIVATE. HE SHOULD MEET WITH THE LATINO LEADERS AS HE DO ALL OTHER VOTERS. DON'T TRUST MCCAIN

THIS IS A PROBLEM OF MCCAINS HE ALWAYS CHANGE HIS POSITION. HE TRYING TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY AND WHEN THEIR NOT HE SAYS WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. MCCAIN HAS SAID HE WASN'T GOING TO VOTE FOR HIS OWN BILL THAT SAY'S IT ALL. LATINO'S DON'T BELIEVE A WORD MCCAIN SAY'S. HE'S TRYING TO WIN YOUR VOTE BY TELLING YOU WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO HEAR IN PRIVATE. LET HIM ANNOUNCE HIS STANCE ON IMMIGRATION OR WHAT EVER HE SAID IN THAT PRIVATE MEETING IN A PRESS CONFERENCE. DONT TRUST MCCAIN.

Keith Juba,

Tancredo couldn't win for a couple of reasons. He was mostly a one-issue candidate, and he has no name-recognition. Simply put, most voters check off the name on the ballot that is most familiar to them. Obama may be an exception to that rule, but he is a very rare exception. The names you hear the most get the most votes.

McCain will likely betray us with an amnesty if elected, but don't forget that his campaign was in tatters until he "toughened" his position on illegal immigration. In the minds of many conservatives, he then became the only hope for a possible Republican win.

Tancredo lost because he came across as unlikable and seemingly unschooled on other important issues. That doesn't make his position on illegal immigration wrong.

JUST FOR YOU TANCREDO

'Adios' English school? Super wants all-Spanish
Administrator calls for language program amid soaring illegal immigration statistics

Peter Gorman (courtesy Charlotte Observer)

Dissatisfied with teaching in Spanish 85 percent of the time, a North Carolina superintendent is pushing for a $10 million budget that includes a plan for a school where only Spanish is spoken.

Superintendent Peter Gorman pitched his proposal to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board today, with provisions to turn Collinswood Elementary into a Spanish program. Nora Carr, chief communications officer for Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, told WND the facility will help to preserve Hispanic culture.

"We find that a lot of kids who go there have parents who might be English-speaking immigrants, and they might be very successful," she said. "They fear that their kids might be losing some of the culture or not getting the fluency in the language because they speak English at home."

Carr said one of the top executives with AT&T is Hispanic and sends his children to the school.

"Obviously they are very fluent, well-educated in English, legal citizens," she said. "They're sending their kids there because they want them to have exposure to their native language."

Collinswood Dual Language Academy already provides a K-5 "language immersion program." The school began with a total Spanish curriculum. According to a brochure to promote the Spanish services, "In this dual language program, kindergarteners spend 85% of the instructional day learning the curriculum in Spanish and 15% of the day learning in English."

Carr said the program places equal emphasis on fluency in English and Spanish, but according to a program brochure, Collinswood teachers provide instruction in Spanish while introducing English words. Texts are provided in Spanish as well.

When students reach the first grade, they spend more than half the day learning in Spanish only. Homework is allowed to be completed in either language.

It is national suicide to let tens of tens of tens of millions of impoverished, uneducated foreign nationals flood this country. By 2050 there will be 450 million people here not including illegal aliens.Isn't there enough problems we could be solving? Wasn't gas a $1.50 a gallon before Bush got into office?How about massive gridlock on the freeways going to work? Our infrastructure ,bridges,sewers ,everything needs trillions of dollars to be built up again.How about clean ,good water,in L.A. the Mayor wants to treat toilet water so that it would used as drinking water.How about the wheat shortage we pay farmers not to grow food?How about 60% of high school kids in L.A. couldn't pass a eighth grade exit exam to graduate.How about a flat tax of 10% ,countries around the world find that it generates loads of cash.It's the 21st century lets get rid of the poverty and crime,why not be first in the world in education. Wheres all the great inventions the air car etc.,how about a four day work week ? Why are our leaders living in the dark age?

Shut up Tancrazy! You should have learned how Americans feel about you. What a pitiful primary you had. If you want to know how the average intelligent American feels about these hard working family oriented immigrants. just use logic gumba. Every single anti amnesty candidate got their butt kicked. Don't get fooled when you read message boards. Most people that post negative racial innuendos on the Internet are angry society rejects and nobody cares about them. Amnesty now.

When McAmnesty gets to Mexico, REVOKE HIS PASSPORT!

Just another Rich POS who LOVES the Idea of poorer people struggling in a depressed wage Environment, joining all his fellow Amigos!

Replace the Senator with a Indian National,That will work for less, and harder! :-)

Mitt Romney for President.

He'll ENFORCE OUR LAWS!

They are criminals. Why does everyone make this a racial issue. They come here illegally, take jobs illegally , steal ID welfare . Call me a racist against illegals I will gladly wear that on a T shirt

Wonder what the hysteric right will do if there's an 'amnesty'. What will fall outside the radar as a result? Will they have the energy to fight gay-marriage at the same time? Can't be easy to be a narrow minded bigot these days. And who'll be their next target, if the illegals get deported, and gays forbidden from marriage? Will it tilt back in time toward Jim Crow?? Who knows, it's much the same crowd operating on this issue, from the louder corners. Hate & fear driven, prejudiced, callous, chauvinistic, xenophobic, etc.

Why are we sending American jobs to communist China, when some of these jobs can go to Mexico and Canada. The U.S. can only hold so many people. We should take care of neighbor's first and let the communists fend for themselves. McCain is bashing Obama for wanting to talk to Iran while McCain is sending American jobs to communist China. Who's the sellout!

Build a fence on the southern and northern borders of the US. And keep all paranoid White Americans within it..... The world will be safer.

Is Bob Barr the one that don't care about the environment.

...The clanging cymbals of the xenophobes and the demagogues are here again.
If the country as a whole, or the Republican voters in part-are in tandem with Tancredo ( the emblem of immigration rhetoric), or the Limbaughs,Dobbs et al ,the question must be asked again: why did Tancredo sank and tank during the primaries?
Senator McCain is reasonable and pragmatic. He must remain to be independent regardless of the vitriols of the right wing and their kindred spirits.

We Republicans blew when we nominated John McCain, he justs get more and more, sneaky and clueless as this campaign goes on. Obama is out campaigning and Bob Barr is looking better and better to me as the days go by.

How in the world can the Republican Party get saddled with a nutcase whack-job who knows nothing about economics, is so anti-capitalist he uses "profit" as a term of derision, has never run a business or had any job outside of government, will raise taxes, is so stupid that he believes "stopping global warming" is worth destroying the American economy, won't drill ANWR to alleviate our energy deficit, won't appoint strict constructionist justices, won't protect marriage, would throttle free speech given another opportunity, hasn't protected the borders in his 26 years in Congress, will give amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens, is beloved by the New York Times in addition to other liberal media, and lives in a delusionary world of rage and self-appointed war hero vanity?

McCain advisor is Mexico's former Mexicans Abroad Director

McCain's "Hispanic Outreach Director", Juan Hernandez, is the same guy who was a close advisor to Mexico's President Vicente Fox! Hernandez headed up a Mexican bureaucracy called the "Presidential Office for Mexicans Abroad." It was designed to allow Hernandez to travel across the country, meddling with local, state, and federal immigration enforcement on behalf of millions of illegal aliens in America. Prior to aligning with the campaign staff, Hernandez has been serving in McCain's Reform Institute as a Senior Fellow of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Initiative.

Hernandez has worked for years lobbying U.S. governors to issue drivers' licenses to illegal aliens living in their respective states. While in his official role for the Mexican government, he pressured Western Union to lower or drop altogether their fees for wire transfers for illegal aliens sending money back home to Mexico.

Hernandez is an ardent supporter of the re-conquest by Mexico of the American Southwest, and hosted lectures on the subject at the Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies in Dallas which he founded in 1995. He once told Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) that the North American Southwest "is not two countries, it's just a region."

U.S. born dual citizen Juan Hernandez is notorious for having said of Mexican Americans on Nightline on June 7, 2001, "I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think Mexico first."

Does John McCain agree that they should always "think Mexico first?" With Hernandez as his "Hispanic Outreach Director", who began serving last year, I don't think there is any question. Is there any reason that anyone should think open borders fanatic Dr. Hernandez wants President McCain to secure the border? Is there any reason that anyone should trust a man to secure the border if he is getting his "Hispanic Outreach" advice from Dr. Juan Hernandez? Is there any reason why anyone should not think that John McCain is committed to giving amnesty to the 20 million illegal aliens in America?

Hernandez also said to the Associated Press in 2001, "I never knew the border as a limitation. I'd be delighted if all of us could come and go between these two marvelous countries."

Two poignant quotes below are from Hernandez's 2007 (propaganda) book, "The New American Pioneers":

"There are twenty million people, like myself, who have one foot in Mexico and one foot in the United States, and we're very proud of it."

"We must not only have a free flow of goods and services, but also start working for a free flow of people."

Be aware John McCain supporters. One of his closest advisors is a former Mexico cabinet member. As well as a globalist, open borders, illegal alien advocate, amnesty demanding dual citizen with his allegiance given to Mexico.

Yeah, I Lied About Illegal Immigration To Get The Nomination. So What?

"I was proud to work for Comprehensive Immigration Reform and If I am elected President I assure you that in 2009 I will ask Congress to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform."
- John McCain, June 18 at closed door meeting with Chicago Hispanics in Drake Hotel, downtown Chicago

As a Citizen of the United States, I am urging you to join with other American Citizens in urging our elected representatives to join with those that are supporting H.R. 4987, The Fence by Date Certain Act-leading to the construction of a 700 mile double-layered fence that enhances our national security and provides the first step in comprehensive immigration reform.

The Secure Fence Act of 2006 was a fair and necessary step in securing our borders. Unfortunately, due to devious actions taken by certain elected officials, the Secure Fence Act has been weakened and all but terminated. America is under assault from illegal aliens and terrorists who seek to destroy our great nation. The American people have demanded a double-layered secure fence, and we are frustrated that the federal government is not listening to its constituents.

Worse yet, our next President, be it Obama or McCain are both horribly lax on border security as can be seen by their voting history on this issue.

The future of America is under assault and the invasion must be stopped. Illegal entry is a threat to the United States economy, American jobs, and the safety and well-being of the American people. A permanent solution is necessary.

This is it. If we are ever to see a real border fence securing our borders, grassroots Americans must respond in force, right now!

This solution is not solely a Democratic or a Republican issue, it is an American issue. The American borders are falling apart and it is time to protect our borders. Contact your House Representative and two Senators and demand they co-sponsor H.R. 4987, The Fence by Date Certain Act.

There is no doubt that in order to win this election the candidate must be in support of a 'comprehensive immigration reform', otherwise the hispanics and other minorities will not vote for the candidate. McCain, who was a leader comprehensive reform last year, has backtracked and is saying that a fence has to in place before comprehensive reform can begin. This statement is practically an insult to those desiring reform because it may take many years for a fence to be built if ever. The government has been trying to build a fence of 700 miles and only plans to complete it in 2010. Imagine how long it would take to put up a real border fence. There are probably 15 million illegal alines many having lived here over 10 years and their family and friends will not wait for a fantasy of a secure border. If McCain does not affirmatively stand behind acomprehensive immigration reform, he will surely not become president.

my oh my...those that don't learn from history are .... let me see (no capslock). the alleged fence has only given some government contractors another big job. ICE reminds me of the SS and nazi regime of the 3rd reich. most of us are unwanted immigrant implants...we are still unwanted... however, we, the people manage to wave $$$ (not doing well in other parts of the globe), in front of the rest of the people who thrive on circular motion as a way of entertainment---the wheels on the bus go round and round.... aloha

DEPORT EVERYONE WHO USES CAPSLOCK GRATUITOUSLY!!!!EXCLAMATIONPOINT!!!!

McCain keeps pandering to the Illegals and his goose is going to be cooked !!!!
NO AMNESTY , SECURE THE BORDER AND START THE DEPORTATION OF THESE CRIMINALS !!!

Its hard to argue that either candidate understands or respect the will of the American people on enforcing our immigration laws. Both candidates are a product of their party committees, and do not reflect the genuine concerns of America's Citizens. Plain and simple, both Obama and McCain have been bought out by self serving lobbyists and cheap labor interests.

Rather than spend much more time trying to convince either candidate to get right with America's Citizens, voters should focus on turning pro-amnesty legislators out of office, regardless of their party affiliation. In order to minimize the negative consequences of either an Obama or a McCain presidency, we should focus on marginalizing the ability to force dangerously misguided comprehensive reforms (amnesty) down our throats. By identifying and electing pro-enforcement House and Senate members, we the people can blunt some if not all their efforts to undermine enforcement and usurp our will. If you happen to be in a district where there is no "pro-enforcement" candidate, where both parties candidates support amnesty, then you must work hard to unseat the incumbent, regardless of their party affiliation. By changing the balance of power in Congress we can send a message that both parties will be forced to recognize. Both parties must accept the fact that marginal victories do not correlate to any sort of "public mandate" for their egregious amnesty and guest worker programs. We the people shouted down the failed McCain/Kennedy amnesty, and subsequently, John McCain asserted (apparently wrongly) the he got the message "loud and clear". Senator McCain is apparently senile as he seems to have forgotten entirely about his "loud and clear" reception and his promise to secure the borders. Given Congress's abysmal approval ratings (lower than President Bush's approval ratings) there may never be a better time for American's to assert their will and send these incumbents home with their tails between their legs. Indeed, never re-elect anybody may be the best voting philosophy for the next few decades, at least until politicians are once again willing to accept that they work for us!

Course McCain has it tough. He knows that the entrepenuerial immigrants create jobs and benefit the nation. He also knows that large part of the Rep base are bigots who know that at even wages most employers would still hire the undocs. He need to do what pols never like doing. Choose. Going to secret meets, kind of makes you think he knows many in his party are dumb still he needs them to vote for him

Both presumptive Senator Obama, McCain and then House Speaker Pelosi have a lot to answer for, regarding to illegal immigration.. Their idea of Comprehensive Amnesty last March would have helped to bankrupt the country. Because what illegal aliens cannot get in benefits now, such as free health care, education and a host of benefits from both federal and state programs, they would have inherited after getting legal status. Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter are not like the political party members above, as they want the borders fence built according to the original plan and certainly no path to instant citizenship. Tancredo would eradicate the misinterpreted birthright law and stop all free welfare benefits to illegal foreign nationals.
Even as I speak the House Appropriations Committee today (today) will be deciding how the federal government enforces immigration laws. 202-224-3121 We must demand the border fence constructed according to Duncan Hunters 'Secure border fence act (2008), reluctant Democrats must endorse the Federal SAVE ACT (4088) We must insist on full funding for (ICE) and no gutting of any programs. NUMBERS.
