ANSWER Manipulates Illegal Immigrants 5/11/2006 7:15:40 AM
May 1st 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.
