There are 887 Million Americans, source CIA factbook of those 887 million Americans only 298 are United Statesians, the other 598 million Americans refer to us as United Statesians, to verify this simply google Estadounidense or Estadounidenses you’ll get over 20 million results. The term United Statesian is simply the English version of it, just now it is making inroads into our lingo, predominantly from Europe as most of America does not speak English and is not yet on-line and there are even less pages written by Spanish or Portuguese speaking people in English, however if you google United Statesian you already get over 10,000 returns (this figure gets manually trimmed by Google, right after bot crawling the results are over 20,000). As a United Statesian that was born and bread in the American South West, I can assure you most Americans resent the use of the word America when referring to the United States or American to denote United Statesian citizenship.

Here they compare it to the Vietnam anti-war movement, and they mention the 9/11/07 General Strike. What do you think of the comparison?

After all, we DO have a professional army, whose job it is to fight. Nobody made them join up, unlike previous major wars, where men were enlisted to fight, whether they liked it or not. As a National Serviceman, along with many others, I was sent to fight in Korea, (of all places!) Aren't we being a bit "soppy" about our boys abroad? Nobody in their right minds wants them harmed in any way, but they DID take it on as their job. Or have I missed the point about their being professionals (or even mercenaries)?

Why is it that the British always critisize us about it, even though they sent 45,000 troops in? They still have soldiers there now. It's like Germany after WWI, everyone screwed up, and Germany got ALL the blame.

If indeed the agenda here is "illegal" immigration and 32 million LEGAL people speak Spanish, how does pressing one for English relate to "illegal immigration"? And how does something as mundane as pressing a button effect your life?

I've heard when you're in basic training, but you've just one the $20 million jackpot (or however much money it is), they'll actually honorably discharge you; don't know why...) If they were to reinstate the draft, and you won the jackpot, and shortly after your name was selected, would they exempt you?

(It'd be just my luck to win the lottery, and then a week later find out I'd been drafted, just as I was getting ready to enjoy the big life. :< )

Which would you find more desirable in your community: a group that advocates to abide by U.S. law, or one that advocates to break U.S. law?
Well, leave it to an American newspaper to present a story as if a member of a group that advocates for America is a less desirable person in the community than a member of a group that promotes ideas against America. In a story on the La Raza Council's threat to move their annual convention out of Kansas City, Missouri, the Kansas City Star has labeled the patriot group The Minutemen a "militant group" yet nowhere is there harsh labels in their story for La Raza, the Hispanic illegal immigrant advocates. In fact, La Raza is treated like a completely respectable organization throughout the story with the Minutemen treated as if they should be something to be ashamed of.


In June, Kansas City mayor Mark Funkhouser appointed Minuteman Civil Defense member Frances Semler to the Kansas City park board and this has caused the illegal immigrant advocates to threaten to take their convention business elsewhere.

The nation’s largest Hispanic rights group is warning it may cancel its 2009 convention here because of a controversial Kansas City park board member.
As it turns out, this park board member is "controversial" because she wants Federal immigration laws enforced.

The story goes on to call the patriot organization, The Minutemen, a "militant group opposing illegal immigration" and warns that the city would lose up to $15 million in business (coupled with the NAACP pulling their convention, as well) should the La Raza folks pull their convention out of Kansas City. The story gives the La Raza group quite a bit of space to act wounded and regretful that they have to leave the city... unless they are successful in forcing a Missourian legally appointed to a city board to resign.

“It is very troubling that we would be in a position to reconsider but in fact we are,” Murguía said during a trip to Kansas City. “I don’t know there is a way short of her stepping down that we could salvage this. This is offensive on many levels. We want the mayor to understand it is something that sends a very wrong signal to the Hispanic community about what the city represents.”
There is, indeed, something troubling here. That a group based outside of Kansas City should imagine they have the right and power to tell a city who they can and cannot appoint to their city parks board. Now THAT is "troubling," don't you think?

It is also troubling that Mrs. Semler is presented throughout the story as the problem and La Raza is constantly presented as the good guys. What is also troubling is that the story presents the politicians in Kansas City as bending over backwards for this La Raza organization. Rick Hughs, head of the Kansas City Convention and Visitors Association, for instance is doing his best to accommodate this La Raza group.

... a meeting Thursday with Murguía went well and he is hopeful that La Raza’s concerns about Kansas City can be addressed. He said he has not heard from anyone with the NAACP about its concerns.

“We still have it (La Raza convention) very much in our pocket and we all want to work toward a good, amicable solution,” he said. “These are two critically important groups and we want to keep them on the ground with us.”

Sadly, not a one of the Kansas City politicians quoted seem outraged that this outside group is making threats to the city over the make-up of a city board and trying to force their outsider's opinions on the operation of the city.

Still, is this reasonable behavior from La Raza? Is it reasonable that one person on a city park board is enough of an "outrage" to their sensibilities to force them to pull their business from the city?

i got pulled over yesterday supposedly for following too close and going a little too fast as i pulled off to the side of the road the officer approached me from the passengers, side told me to exit and did all the insruance and drivers license check, i admitted to smoking marijuana and having a pre-rolled joint but i never admitted to having guns and yes they were concealed in a duffel bag and no ammunition.

MEXICO CITY -- The 8-year-old son of deported immigrant activist Elvira Arellano was reunited with her Friday at Mexico City's airport.

Arellano said she wants her son, Saul, a U.S. citizen, to go to school in her home state of Michoacan so he can learn Spanish.

Saul, whose first trip to Mexico was in November to ask the Mexican Congress to lobby Washington to stop his mother's deportation, received a Mexican passport from his mother as proof of his newly obtained dual citizenship.

They plan to renew the boy's U.S. passport, something he could not do in the United States in the absence of his mother.

Arellano, 32, who was in the U.S. illegally for several years, took sanctuary at Chicago's Adalberto United Methodist Church in defiance of a deportation order. She lived there with her son for a year.

She left the church in August to attend rallies in Los Angeles and was arrested and deported within hours to Tijuana.

Saul, who traveled from Chicago with Adalberto United's pastor, the Rev. Walter Coleman, had little to say to reporters. His mother said the boy told her that "he wants to keep fighting so I can go back with him to the United States."

Arellano said she wanted her son by her side as she fights for the legalization of the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. and for the rights of illegal Central American immigrants in Mexico.

"In this battle he was the one who kept me on my feet," Arellano said. "If I want to keep fighting from here, I need him with me."

I’m sure it wasn’t her idea to bring her son to Mexico, otherwise he would have come with her when she left.

Article states that she wants him to learn spanish? Yeah right, I haven’t heard a word of English out of her mouth!

Also, if she gets made an ambassador, is there any way the US could block her from returning? She is a criminal after all.
The more news this unwed woman gets the more real Americans are going to resist. Doesn’t the criminal illegal understand she has done nothing but leave a bad impression? She is nobody! Keep talking Elvira! You damage your own cause. You deserve nothing from the United States of America!
