Michelle Malkin appeared on The O’Reilly Factor Wednesday night to discuss her column and post about government funding of La Raza, a Latino anti-American extremist organization.
She explains it all in her post titled, “Aztlan Academy: Coming To Your Neighborhood?”.
h/t Darnell, who writes:
On Hannity and Colmes there was video of a smuggler of illegal aliens taking a swing at a Minuteman videotaping. They spoke with the man who was running the tape.Alan Colmes was upset that a Minuteman would videotape the smuggler, instead of just sitting on the border. Then Alan tried to tell the Minuteman he should have left it to the police instead of video taping himself. (When we know the police are tied up with other work and in some cases are told not to arrest illegals.) It was like Alan was playing the role of defense attorney for the violent smuggler.

San Francisco Supervisor Geraldo Sandoval seems more interested in getting illegal aliens a job than deporting them or even, gasp, punishing those who kill two innocent people.
Josh writes:
“If we sent all these folks home, 1 or 2 people might be safe as in the victimsin Tennessee*, but many other goods and services in the US economy would not be produced and that really is the issue.”**referring to a husband/wife that had been killed by an illegal immigrant who was driving drunk and had been arrested 14 times previously
Sandoval’s anti-American activity has been well documents on this site:

FOX News’ Carl Cameron does an investigative report on Francine Busby telling a crowd of people “you don’t need papers to vote” Busby doesn’t acknowledge she made the remarks CAUGHT ON TAPE, but instead tries to act tough:
FRANCINE BUSBY: Let me make it clear to everybody. Ok? Illegal people should not be here. They have absolutely no place in the democratic process. They shouldn’t be voting if anyone tries to vote illegally they should be prosecuted and they have no place working on campaigns.

Democratic congressional candidate Francine Busby said “you don’t need papers for voting.” Busby is running to represent California’s 50th district in a June 6th special election.
In the background you could hear someone telling Busby “they said they want to help us.” The next few seconds are muffled, however you can hear Busby responding:
BUSBY: Well sure, everybody can help. Yeah, absolutely. You can all help. Yeah, you don’t need papers for voting, you don’t need to be a registered voter to help.

White House Spokesman Tony Snow was on The Rush Limbaugh Show this afternoon to discuss his job, but more importantly the illegal immigration issue. Rush spent more than 25 of this 45 minutes with Snow grilling him on the White House’s stance on the problem. Snow did not do a good job in defending what the White House would like to do, giving illegal immigrants amnesty after several benchmarks have been met. Snow also defended the so-called national ID card that would be used to track and identify illegals that have been granted temporary citizenship on their way to amnesty. Here is how Snow described it:
RUSH: Well why should we believe that there is going to be enforcement now when there hasn’t been since ’86, there hasn’t been—- Simpson-Mazzoli, because the enforcement appears to be voluntary on the illegals; they have to show up to pay the fine, they have to show up to go to the back of the line, they have to show up to do this, now they have to show up to get this card, this I.D. card. What –Snow responds:
SNOW: …….. You and I have seen places in our neighborhoods and elsewhere, where guys are probably illegal. They get to work early, they do all this stuff, but they’re illegal. Now if all the sudden somebody shows up and says show me your cards and they don’t have it, that does change behavior.
In layman’s terms, Tony says that employers can only hire those with proper identification and it is up to the government to make sure that the soon to be American citizens have that card. This sounds an awful lot like the current situation with fake identification.
In the latter part of this segment, Rush completely grills Tony on the Ed Meese piece saying the Simpson-Mazzoli bill (which granted illegals amnesty in 1986) is no different than what the White House is proposing right now:
RUSH: The history of this [is] it takes 20 years. Every 20 years, it metastasizes and gets to the point where people will notice it and it becomes a burden in their lives that they can’t explain. They don’t understand why illegal doesn’t mean anything; they don’t understand why they’re called nativists. Tony, politically, I know I’m talking about what’s coming out the Senate now, it clearly is amnesty, there is no other way to describe it.—-SNOW:—- Well ..
RUSH:—- Now, just wait a second. It seems to me to be a death nail for the Republican party. We have Republicans going along, this is nothing more than a plan to get future Democrat voters in the country.
SNOW: Two things. Number one, the 1986 bill, you remember the one that first granted amnesty to three million illegals? You know what they characterized the level of crime it was to cross the border? A misdemeanor. You know what they listed as the penalty? Nothing. So for 20 years it was a misdemeanor, by the way, there is no punishment for it.
RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. That’s not what Ed Meese said. Ed Meese in the New York Times piece yesterday said he looks at the legislation today versus Simpson-Mazzoli and seems practically identical.

Michelle Malkin linked with BOOING JOHN MCCAIN...
Former Attorney General under the Reagan Administration Ed Meese has an Op/Ed in today’s edition of The New York Times (reg. req’d):
In the mid-80’s, many members of Congress — pushed by the Democratic majority in the House and the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy — advocated amnesty for long-settled illegal immigrants. President Reagan considered it reasonable to adjust the status of what was then a relatively small population, and I supported his decision.In exchange for allowing aliens to stay, he decided, border security and enforcement of immigration laws would be greatly strengthened — in particular, through sanctions against employers who hired illegal immigrants. If jobs were the attraction for illegal immigrants, then cutting off that option was crucial.
Beyond this, most illegal immigrants who could establish that they had resided in America continuously for five years would be granted temporary resident status, which could be upgraded to permanent residency after 18 months and, after another five years, to citizenship.
It is not a snore and a must read. I was invited to participate in a blogger conference call this morning, but I had an extremely important prior obligation that I couldn’t miss. When I came home to see that I missed an opportunity to speak and listen to such an intelligent man, I almost went insane. Michelle Malkin, Right Wing News, amongst others, have a round-up of the call.
pretend pundit linked with Illegal Immigration 101: The Problem Defined...
A must see …
Rep. SENSENBRENNER: Well, we can’t have legal proceedings to deport 11 to 12 million people, that is evident. But the way to prevent more illegal immigrants from coming in is to secure the borders, and to enforce employer sanctions. When employer sanctions are enforced, and it becomes really difficult—if not impossible—to hire an illegal immigrant, a lot of the people here will go back home by a way of attrition. I am afraid that the Senate is going down the same road of the mistake that was made 20 years ago. And if we do that, we’re going to get more illegal immigrants into this country, and that’s exactly what the Mexican government immigration official at Juarez said earlier last week.SCHIEFFER: Senator?
Sen. FEINSTEIN: Yes. I’d like to indicate that I don’t agree with the chairman on this point. My state is the largest state for illegal immigration and legal immigration. We have the largest agricultural industry in America. It is a 30 to $40 billion annual industry. It virtually employs undocumented workers: huge landscape industry, all undocumented; some of the construction business, undocumented; service area, undocumented people. They’re subject to exploitation, they live a clandestine lifestyle, they are not going to go home. That’s the first thing. Therefore, what do you do? And employer sanctions don’t work. Every time an employer is raided and arrested, there is a public outcry because, basically, people have a sympathy with those who are here and work hard, long hours, want to live the American dream. So the key for me is to have a practical program that doesn’t reward what they do—puts them, as the chairman said, at the end of the line for a green card. It can take 10, 11 years, have to report annually, have to work, have to pay taxes, have to pay a fine. The amendment I have has—even has an annual small fee in there. Total background check, so that you have this process going on over a period of years, at the end of which they have access to a green card. In the meantime, they would have a card which is biometric, which is fraud-proof—I call it an orange card—and which is numbered, so that those people who have been here the longest are the first to get their green card at the end of the line.
SCHIEFFER: Well, well, Mr. Chairman, what’s wrong with what the senator just said?
Rep. SENSENBRENNER: Well, first of all, we shouldn’t be very sympathetic to employers who are hiring large numbers of illegal immigrants and paying them very low wages and exploiting them. Those folks are the 21st-century slave masters, and what they’re doing is just as immoral as what the 19th-century slave masters did that we had to fight a civil war to get rid of. But who’s going to pay for all this bureaucracy that Senator Feinstein has talked about? Are we just going to add it to the deficit? Are we going to raise taxes to do it? Or are we going to have the employers who want to hire these folks pay for this with a user fee? There’s so many unanswered questions that I can just see 1986 repeating itself. And a lot of the illegal immigrants in this country will not sign up for whatever program it is—call it amnesty, call it earned legalization—because they’re afraid they’re going to lose their job. The market works. It is always cheaper to hire an illegal immigrant than to hire a citizen or a legal immigrant with a green card.
SCHIEFFER: Good question, Senator. Who’s going to pay for it?
Sen. FEINSTEIN: On, on the question of cost, the Congressional Budget Office, the Joint Tax Committee, have just come out with a report this past week that indicates that over the 10 years, the cost of the program, of everything in the Senate bill, which has been changed since then to reduce it, is a, the cost is about $54 billion. And the cost of fees coming in from the programs, $66 billion. Now that’s Joint Tax and CBO. Those are two good authorities that say the program does pay for itself—more than that—financially.
