Gov. Purdue did what he was Required to do....make sure the Laws of this Country are Enforced. It seems that the Yankee Liberal-dominated Congress can't get off their "backsides" and Appropriate the Funds NECESSARY to Enforce the Laws ALREADY on the Books. amd strengthen the Penalty for being here ILLEGALLY or Aiding or Abetting....including Hiring......ILLEGAL Entry into this Country. As for the "anchor babies"...NOTHING in the Federal Code makes tham Automatic Citizens! It is done by Executive Order, and is Real EASY to Change! But the Latino-Loving Bush doesn't want to "offend" the "undocumented immigrants"! By the way, "immigrants"? NO! ILLEGAL ALENS! Let's get the Facts" straight here.
Illegal Immigrant: Someone present in the country without
authorization. People considered illegal immigrants can enter theUnited States in two ways: either by sneaking across the border, or by entering the country legally under a temporary visa but then failing to leave once their visa expires.

Legal Implications: Living in the United States illegally -- either by sneaking in or by overstaying a visa -- is a violation under the civil code, not the criminal code. However, illegal immigrants can
be incarcerated as part of the deportation process. Sneaking across the border is currently a criminal misdemeanor that can result in six months in prison. Immigration legislation passed by the U.S. House in December would make it a felony to live in the United
States without authorization.

Let's hear it for the "Servants of the People" that have the GUTS to do the RIGHT and Brave Thing, regardless of the "political-correctness "!

I truly believe these 6 Latinos have set a fine example. If you disagree with what the Governor does, Quit. Maybe, there will be a lot of them that will quit. Those who are here legally and are standing up for illegals are standing up for them solely because of race. They know as well as anyone what illegal means and choose to ignore the fact because of race. Isn't it strange that they continue to call us racist? If it were a majority of Indonesians who were here illegally, do you think they would have quit? If supporting their race and not upholding the laws of the country are their goals, then the Governor nor the state of Georgia needs them.

According to the 12 Southern Senators that I have been communicating with over the past few weeks, and who Voted "NAY" to the so-called Immigration reform Bill in the Senate....the Fight ain't over YET! There is the Conference committee meetings to work out the Differences between the House and Senate Versions. And you just Bet that there will be some SERIOUS REVISIONS for the Bill is Finalized!

To this End, the Following proposal is being made: Ok Folks, I'll pledge to do this, and will take pictures of me somewhere with a U.S. Flag and will post ALL U.S. Flag pictures from that day on ANY Anti-Illegal Immigration website. At the end of the day, Please sign the pledge at the bottom of the email and join us for a REAL AMERICAN FLAG DAY! We lost our battle with the Senate, and we'll WIN with the Congress. Look at it this way, today's Senate battle was "our Alamo" and the Congress battle will be "our San Jacinto".
Please sign the pledge to join MILLIONS of other Red blooded (and Patriotic)Americans and show our Nation what we're made of. See you then! a Fed-Up Southern Man!
Please spread the word to everyone you know who is angered about this, tell family, friends and co-workers!
June 14th National Flag Day All American Walk Out.

In support of the American people and her laws and in protest against the blatant betrayal by our politicians, lets make the country stop still! If possible and it does not endanger your job do not go to work, do not shop or even buy gas! We are 300 million the illegal's are but 12 million and the politicians have bent over backwards to kiss their collective Butts!

This national walk-out is not a protest rally in the streets or banner waving, it is a show of strength, real strength. The economic damage on Corporate America and the government is exactly the point we need to make. Corporate America and most of the Politicians are not listening to us. They are not listening to our faxes, emails or phone calls. They are continuing with their traitorous "sell out as usual" policies while we foot the bill.

The illegal's and their supporters had their day, May Day (a communist day) We have Flag Day, this day should be a national holiday at any rate, and many companies have expressed support for the idea in that it shows their patriotism.

This is in direct contrast with those companies that allowed a day off for their illegal workers with no punishment whatsoever. Very few illegal's actually lost their jobs on the Communist May Day boycott unfortunately.

However, since legal workers are entitled to sick leave a one day walkout in the vast majority of cases and with patriotic employers will NOT result in job loss. If you believe your employer is unpatriotic or you can't call in sick then don't do it, but otherwise yes by all means don't show up for work or shop on June 14th!

Thanks for doing your job Sonny! Illegals ARE illegal.

Have you ever played the game RISK? Well it came upon me as I was picnicing for the holiday weekend that the recent wave of illegal immigrants are the reigning Risk World Champions.

As we tried to enjoy ourselves, the latin music got louder and louder and stray kicks sent soccer balls into the areas where black and/or white americans were picnicing. When the last soccer ball that broke the camel's back send an older couple or family packing, 2 of the loud hispanic speaking people would laugh and move to the table. Then another table of picnicers was targeted until they cleared the area that they wanted for themselves.

Within a couple of hours pick-up trucks full of mexicans arrived to fill out the tables and play soccer on the nice feild that our tax dollars bought.

It dawned on me that this is the same strategy they are using in my neighborhood to run of the older and quiter residents. Loud music through all hours of the night, throwing spanish beer and soda bottles on our lawns, staring at our wives and children. As people flee this very un-neighborly and un-christian behavior, another house is filled with mexican laborors.

A legal immagrant agrees

When will people understand that the operative word in the term "Illegal Immigrant" is ILLEGAL and not immigrant

Good for him!!! Surprised CBS let him get away with this even though he's right! AMEN ANDY ROONEY ! Right on, Andy Rooney!

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:

"I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English! My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

And if you don't like my point of view, Tough!"

Please E-mail your support.

If you agree with the Cobb County Commissioners and the Cobb County Sheriff's Department, that the Illegal Aliens in our jails on additional charges should be deported after they complete their sentences....

please let them know you support their decision before the final vote.

Thank you.
