ILLEGAL Aliens, Borders, and MinuteMan ProjectUpdated 01/31/2006
Lupe Moreno, from Los Angeles, a LEGAL MEXICAN IMMIGRANT addresses the Hold Their Feet to the Fire Rally in Washington DC, April 25th 2005. FAIR, Minutemen (UNDOCUMENTED BORDER PATROL AGENTS), Veterans groups, and just plain fed-up citizens saying, Stop the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT invasion on our country. We have to obey the law, we shouldn't make special rules for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. We, the defenders of our borders, kinda feel like Travis and Jim Bowie, and the 189 brave men, who begged for reinforcements ( http://www.lsjunction.com/docs/appeal.htm ), then, waited - and waited - and waited for reinforcements from Sam Houston's Army (Which never came, never came, never came...)

Updates on the ILLEGAL alien battle-front |
|
(Click here to add a new site (url) to this list-or-to be added to the mailing list) I was in Washington
this weekend (April 24 2005),
"lobbying" Senate and Congressmen
about the "open borders,"
"Minutemen," and "Real-ID" for
ILLEGAL aliens. We made CNN news,
for almost a half-hour segment (and
"Real-ID" was "voted out of
committee," with the provisions that
we wanted). The Minutemen got
a "congressional hearing" Wednesday
afternoon, to present their plan for
border security. What we need is a centralized registry of companies (Farms, Ranches, etc) that are known to make a practice of hiring ILLEGAL ALIENS. Is there any possibility that FAIR could sponsor a database, with a bulletin board (or email form), for input from readers? (Be sure to put President Bush's ranch at the top of your database...)

There is another hall in Herndon that we are actively opposing. This activity is labor intensive. We are considering adopting the name Minuteman Project if Simcox and Gilchrist are agreeable, such as the Virginia Minuteman Project: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A712-2004Nov20.html The Washington Post November 21, 2004 Pr. William Has Raucous Forum on Laborers By Jacqueline L. Salmon The clash between Latino immigrants who wait outside for day jobs and suburban residents who accuse them of loitering heated up yesterday at a town hall meeting and protest march in Woodbridge. More than 100 people showed up for the often-tumultuous meeting. Waving signs and occasionally erupting into shouts and catcalls, participants barraged public officials with questions and comments and argued with each other over what to do about day laborers who have been gathering at a Woodbridge 7-Eleven while waiting for contractors to pick them up. Last month, Prince William County police arrested 24 laborers at the site and charged them with loitering. On Monday, three more laborers were charged. Eleven of the men have been turned over to federal immigration authorities and face possible deportation. Latino leaders have criticized the arrests as an excuse to harass immigrants and deport them. After yesterday's meeting, about 75 day laborers and supporters marched from a church to a Mexican restaurant next to the 7-Eleven to protest the arrests. The town hall meeting was organized by Supervisor Hilda M. Barg (D-Woodbridge), who is pushing for a permanent job assistance center where day laborers could gather. Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) told the crowd that Prince William -- where the percentage of Latinos has climbed from 9 percent to 16 percent in the past four years -- is not alone in dealing with this issue. Other parts of Northern Virginia have also struggled with it, Davis said, as have communities across the country. "This has national ramifications," said Davis, whose district, aides noted, is 30 percent immigrant. Some participants criticized the day laborers in personal terms, saying that most were illegal and urging Prince William police to continue to arrest them and turn them over to immigration authorities. "If they are illegal, take them away," said Michael Crowe of Springfield, a member of the Virginia Coalition Against Terrorism. "Enforce the law. That's why I pay my taxes." Others questioned why the workers needed special services when temporary employment agencies and the state unemployment office were available nearby. "I don't understand why community resources have to go to accommodate day laborers," April Gallop, 33, a Woodbridge resident, said to applause. But others spoke in the workers' defense. "I've found them to be entirely, in my experience, polite, hardworking people," said Bruce Smith, 60, who said day laborers live in his neighborhood less than a mile from the 7-Eleven. "They have been as good as neighbors as anybody in the neighborhood." Alice Gardiner, a resident of Occoquan, compared the day laborers to commuters waiting in HOV slug lines at commuter lots that dot the county. "What are those people doing? Loitering," she said. About a dozen day laborers sat silently throughout most of the meeting, listening to a Spanish translation on headphones. A representative of several Latino groups spoke on their behalf. "The fact that these folks are willing to stand on the street corner for a job is honorable," said Julian Bermudez, chief executive of Hispanic Outreach Leadership Action. "These folks are not terrorists, they're not mass murderers. . . . They just want to pursue the American dream." But J. Haga, 45, a Woodbridge resident who lives near the 7-Eleven, had a more prosaic concern. "It's okay that there are day laborers and stuff, but are they accountable for paying taxes?" she asked in an interview. "Are they accountable for paying into the medical system?. . . . They have to be accountable for that." Barg said she plans to organize a community task force to study the issue and recommend solutions. "I feel good about this meeting," she said. "People had to vent." March organizer Ricardo Juarez said authorities are using the loitering charges as an excuse to arrest and deport laborers. He said his group, the Workers Committee of Woodbridge, plans to file suit challenging the constitutionality of the loitering statute. Laborer German Silva Guzman, 21, said some of the people at the meeting treated the men as if they were terrorists. "This is unfortunate," he said through an interpreter. All the day laborers want "is a better life for their families and themselves."

Chuck Hodge (http://www.charleshodge.com) "...It's a lot, but like Will Harper (one of the best instructors I've ever had) says, "I don't have a dream, I have a plan."
- This [Will Harper] is the guy that helped me define my approach to success in the IT industry. I'm in the process of writing an article based on this approach and the people who have influenced me the most -- Will's one of the four. Will felt that a person couldn't do just one thing and be successful in IT. So, based on his input, I have found these 3 things to be true:
- Obtain the book knowledge and amass certifications.
- Apply this book knowledge in a practical lab/live environment. Be able to physically perform all the tasks the certification you have says you can.
- Finally, teach other people what you know. This is where you really sharpen your skills"
