Orlando vigil will protest treatment of immigrants

“It's become fashionable to attack immigrants, so this is a petition to society and to the community in general for us to be more humane.”

An Apopka advocacy group plans a vigil in downtown Orlando on Thursday to protest what it calls aggressive enforcement tactics that have led to a rise in deportations. via The Orlando Sentinel

Let's see how this would play: Local Central Florida group plans Orlando vigil to protest aggressive enforcement of pedophiles, murderers, car jackers, purse snatchers, rapists, Internet child predators, embezzlers, bank robbers. Oh, you say, that's ridiculous, those are serious crimes ? Excuse me very much but now we should ignore the economic burden supporting millions and millions of illegal aliens who are loading down the taxpayers of this country with their illiteracy, crime, health problems, inability to hold decent paying jobs,(lack of needed job skills above menial day labor) language problems, learning problems etc. etc. etc. plus the impact on jobs in general that our American citizens lose out on when they take jobs for half what going rates are ?

Don't these people get it. It is not immigrannts that people are against but it is ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that everyone is against. If I rob a bank because I am poor does that mean its right that I can go free even though I broke the law because I needed money. Come on people and get real

Step up the agressive part and reign in the illegals. Wake up as they are here to "breed us out" and already have laid claim to rights and services they did not earn. Step up and report illegal hiring. If they are not paying into the community why should I pay their way.

You assume all Hispanics are here illegally and have convinced yourself that to be true. Don't give up on Mel Martinez. He's a wipping boy for the GOP and an opportunist for the status quo. Keep him around so you can take your frustrations out on him when you need to release some stress. You'll need to being in such a fighting mode. In truth, you'll need counseling and nothing more to deal with your fears of accepting different folks with different strokes.

"International Workers Day"? Hmmm, isn't that sort of a Commie thing? I'd like to see the brains behind this stunt. Like all good Marxists, you call a duck a goose enough times, eventually someone believes you. This is really "International Anti-Capitalism Day, Esp. USA"

Let's see how this would play: Local Central Florida group plans Orlando vigil. Anglo-saxons huddle in barns and in private communites feeling threatened by what they percieve as an attack on their suburbian way of life. Their communities, which harbor some of the same pedophiles, murderers, car jackers, purse snatchers, rapists, internet child predators, embezzlers and bank robbers (only they are in denial that this is true) are upset that others have employed similar occupations outside of their race. The call to arms is sounded. Lil' Josh and Megan are bombarded with venom at the kitchen table of tales of sinful liberals and evil minorities - enough to keep them up at night and make them think Freddy Kruger is a Hispanic illegal alien. They link illegal immigration to just about every ill this nation has to include:(1) High gas prices (Miguel has captured the oil refineries in Iraq along with Carlos and Ramon),(2) The faltering economy is a result of Hispanic CEO's and Hispanic financial institutions that employ illegal aliens and illegal aliens only (Manuel and Alberto knew nothing about sound accounting principles when they were hired),(3) The wasteful goverment spending is a direct result of Hispanic lawmakers and Hispanic Pentagon offials who have infiltrated the staus quo for the purpose of taking our nation deeper into debt (Major General Alejandro Martinez and Senators Carlos Gonzalez and Pedro Rodriguez restructure the numbers for military budgets and pork barrel projects). And so, Suburbia calls to arms their members and orders them into the cult compounds where diversity is shunned like the Bubonic plague (or should I say the Hisbonic plague: an acute, infectious disease that occurs in non-anglo-saxsons. And thus, the war against diversity in Amercia has begun. Lil' megan and Josh, are you ready? You better put your toys away, grab your shovels and get ready to pounce on Lil' Maria and Lil' Luis.

Yes but they have been here for a while now and the economy, such as it is (thanks Republicans) depends on them. We need a "grown up" solution, not emotional outbursts.

Good comment! But the GOP and conservative cult members are nothing but emotional outbursts.

Wow, it always comes down to not understanding the word "illegal". No one is against legal immigration. It amazes me every time how all hispanics assume (and are paranoid)they are the ones being referred to. You are the ones with the diversity issue.

Are we supposed to just let everyone who wants to come here in? Do these people even think about that? How can we just let anyone that wants to come here, come on in? There are rules! Just like there are in other countries. I have no rights if I go somewhere else, same for them. Apply for citizenship then you will have rights. You don't just come over, speak whatever language you want and expect us all to cater to you. That is not how it works.

"Protesting treatment of Illegals", what a way to
use liberal-speak to say the truth of "Actually enforcing
the laws of the United States". Yeah, we can't have
that, everyone should have the right to pick and choose
which laws they want to obey and which they won't,
right? Especially those who aren't even citizens of
this country and who have entered illegally. Have we
gone crazy or what?

You're right. This is fear at its worst. I guess they'll just have to cling to their guns and religion, huh?

we are all immigrants. unless you have american indian ancestry. my italian god father, p.r. mom and dad, french grandfather, all immigrants. given a chance here to proper. my sons mom is colombian. now a citizen. her family little by little came and have made a new life here. law abiding. hard working. we need to start fingerprinting people, getting them into the system, get them paying taxes. just like the older generations were. now criminals, need to be sent back. period. illegal does not mean bad. get these people processed. early in my relationship with my colombian wife. she applied for a job in new york. they wanted to give her 1 dollar an hour, not to mention the sexual harrassment that came with it. she came home in tears. i said, you do not need to work right now. i will take care of you for the time being. we are doing things all wrong. when we stop helping and start thinking of ourselves, all goes wrong.

Make sure you bring your Mexican flags. That way we know which ones to arrest. What I can't understand is, what part about the word "illegal" don't you understand? If you wanted to come to America why not do it like everyone else? If you stand in line and wait your turn maybe people would be on your side. As is, I hope they have the buses warmed up for you down town.
