Taking to the Streets Against Illegal Immigration
We're used to protesters staging demonstrations in attempts to impose moonbattery on the rest of us. But others take to the streets to show their displeasure with the moonbattery that has already been imposed — or that soon will be, if the government puts through an amnesty bill for illegal aliens.
Texans for Immigration Reform, U.S. Border Watch, and Texas Minutemen teamed up to organize a rally in Houston yesterday that was scheduled to fall between San Jacinto Day and the Senate's expected resumption of its misguided amnesty deliberations tomorrow.
Curtis Collier, president of U.S. Border Watch, took the opportunity to voice some sensible views:
It is a sad day in this nation when people here illegally can storm the streets of our cities and demand U.S. taxpayers continue to provide them welfare, social service programs, free health care and the education of their children. If elected officials cannot fulfill their oath of office to defend this country and the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic, I demand they resign.
Today Crispus Attucks Brigade and American Black Citizens Opposed to Illegal Immigration Invasion held a rally in Los Angeles against illegal immigration. The Minutemen were reported to be involved.
Regarding the supposedly racist Minutemen, black activist Ted Hayes of the Crispus Attucks Brigade had this to say:
I've been down to the border with them. They're not racist. They don't care what color you are.
Illegal immigration is not a matter of race, but of sovereignty and rule of law. As it bloats into a grotesque monstrosity that would have horrified the Founding Fathers, the federal government has lost the ability to perform the most basic functions that justify its existence. If the people running our government can't or won't defend the border, they must be replaced by others who can and will.

Interesting -- I had heard the name Crispus Attucks before, but had no memory of who he was. Turns out (for those like me who didn't know this) that he is regarded as the first man killed in the Boston Massacre, making him in effect the first casualty of the American Revolution.
The Crispus Attucks Brigade is a project of Ted Hayes, the "Rasta Republican" of Dome Village fame (seen here on Moonbattery).

I'm with Collier...our leaders were elected to defend our constitution and if they can't ...rather won't...either resign or face getting booted out regardless of party.

Another FYI: Crispus Attucks was black. (I remember doing a report about him in the 4th grade.)
