Invading
foreigners need to be deported
This
editorial [A-R, Dec. 8] refers to illegal aliens as "undocumented
people." That is incorrect. Illegal aliens are criminals
by virtue of their very presence on U.S. soil. --- It is against
federal law for an illegal alien to work in the United States.
Period. They shouldn't be opening bank accounts or getting credit
cards here.  |

Nativo Lopez rants on Telemundo
about phony 'huelga'
Spanish language television has been
giving the usual batch of reconquistas a lot of airtime lately.
Today it was MAPAs Nativo
Lopez (6:20 and 6:50 am PST). He's up in arms over the repeal
of the dangerous
illegal alien license law in Calif., and is promoting an
economic boycott (huelga) by invaders and cheerleaders on Friday.
He also demands amnesty for invaders. Yesterday, Univision had
Juan Jose Gutierrez
on the evening news screaming 'racista!' over a proposal that
would require hospitals to report illegals. Mainstream TV news
has ignored these two Fifth Columnists. |
