If the people with the tanks and guns protect them, what could we do?

It's more or less what happened to Rome.

Recently Democratic Party activist Carla Vela equated laws and roundups of illegal aliens to Germany in the 1930s when Nazis were systematically rounding up Jews and sending them to concentration camps to be slaughtered. Is she right? Is this just an exaggeration? Should people tell her she is wrong?

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - U.S. Hispanic groups and activists on Thursday called for a moratorium on workplace raids to round up illegal immigrants, with some saying they were reminiscent of Nazi crackdowns on Jews in the 1930s.

I read this on Yahoo, and frankly, think these people are nuts. Since when is arresting law breakers like Nazie's?

What is everyone else's opinion on this?

Mine is that the arrests where long over due and that the company officers should have been arrested too.

They accused the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement of "racial profiling," or selective enforcement against Hispanics, for arresting 1,300 workers on immigration violations in December 12 raids at meatpacking plants in six states.

"We are demanding an end to these immigration raids, where they are targeting brown faces. That is major, major racial profiling, and that cannot be tolerated," said Rosa Rosales, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, at a news conference.

U.S. Hispanic groups and activists on Thursday called for a moratorium on workplace raids to round up illegal immigrants, with some saying they were reminiscent of Nazi crackdowns on Jews in the 1930s. "This unfortunately reminds me of when Hitler began rounding up the Jews for no reason and locking them up," Democratic Party activist Carla Vela said.

How about the fact they were breaking the law? Or is it more important that Democrats get the Hispanic vote ?

Got a letter from one of my Sen. (I won't mention her name cuz I don't want her to get any fan fare.) the other day. She wanted us to all know that the Ag biz in CA is having HUGE losses by criminals stealing almonds, ranch equip etc. etc. Wonder who is doing all that crime? Think it could be the same one's who are doing all the OTHER crime (or most of it) in the State. (40% of Fed prisons are illegal immigrants from mostly Mexico). Don't those Mexican guys work as pickers. Think they are doing the look/see on what they can steal, yet again?
Point here is, this yahoo Sen. wants me to get all excited she is DOING something about the guys who are paying her ticket to have illegals here for their needs and well being, but she has one of the lowest ratings for the biz of keeping illegals out of our country/State. This is a perfect example of how our Senators and Congressman cheat us. We'll spend tax dollars to fix it for the CEO's and ranch owner but twit to you regular tax payers.

it's funny that terrorists haven't thought to use the u.s. mexican border to mass murder americans. you hear about mexicans coming across the border getting arrested and set free in mexico only to come right across the border again hours later.

what would stop muslim extremists from Nonchalantly walking across the border with a nuclear bomb or any other kind of bomb for that matter. they could move a whole army across the WIDE OPEN border for all anyone would know and have killed 100's of people before anyone could stop them. as poor as mexico is they wouldn't have any problems paying their way into the country and finding all the help they need. what do you think?

An illegal immigrant faces reckless homicide charges in the deaths of two motorists killed when their car rear-ended a grain wagon without working taillights that had stopped on a state highway. Ernesto M. Reyes, 20, of Hagerstown, was charged with two preliminary counts of reckless homicide after Wednesday night's fatal crash in a rural area 50 miles east of Indianapolis. A judge on Friday ordered him held on $500,000 bond at the Henry County Jail and set an initial hearing for Wednesday at which Reyes could be formally charged. State Trooper Eric Thumb said Reyes...

More than 100,000 undocumented women each year bear children in California with expenses paid by Medi-Cal, according to state reports. Such births and related expenses account for more than $400 million of the nearly $1 billion that the program spends annually on health care for illegal immigrants in California, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing state reports. California long has been one of the more generous states in offering such benefits to illegal immigrants, covering everything from pregnancy tests to postpartum checkups. Many illegal immigrants who might otherwise shy away from government services view care associated with childbirth as safe

WARS - Mexican American War


1846-1848


With the annexation of Texas in early 1845, war with Mexico became all but inevitable. President James K. Polk hoped to settle matters peacefully but was determined to have his way by war if necessary. In November 1845 he sent John Slidell to Mexico with an offer of $5,000,000 for the purchase of New Mexico and $25,000,000 for California. The offer was refused. On May 9, 1846, word reached Washington, D.C. that American troops had been attacked by Mexican forces on April 4. Polk asked Congress, and was granted, a declaration of war. Congress authorized the president to call for 50,000 volunteers and appropriated $10,000,000. Congress and the nation, however, were far from united on the idea of waging war. Southerners favored war as likely to extend slave territory, while notherners opposed the war for the same reason.

President James K. Polk ordered U.S. troops into the region in southern Texas disputed with Mexico, between roughly parallel Nueces and Rio Grande rivers. The commanding general was Zachary Taylor.

1846- Battle of Palo Alto, the first important engagement of the Mexican War, was faught, with the Mexicans on the losing side.

1846- Battle of Resaca de la Palma, U.S. forces under General Taylor forced the Mexican army back across the Rio Grande.

1846- U.S. forces crossed the Rio Grande, led by General Zachary Taylor. The Americans occupied Matamoros.

1846- Monterrey, Mexico, was captured by U.S. forces under General Zachary Taylor after a four day engagement that made "Old Rough and Ready" Taylor, a Whig, into a national hero. His relations with President Polk, a Democrat, cooled subsequently.

1847- Battle of Buena Vista, U.S. forces under General Zachary Taylor defeated the Mexicans under General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

1847- U.S. forces under General Winfield Scott landed near Vera Cruz, Mexico. Some 10,000 troops landed in the Western Hemisphere, in what was the first large=scale amphibious operation in U.S. history. Scott began a siege of Vera Cruz on March 22. The fortress fell on March 27 and was occupied two days later. On April 8 Scott moved toward Mexico City.

1847- To negotiate peace with Mexico, President James K. Polk appointed as his special agent Nicholas P. Trist, a State Department veteran.

1847- At Cerro Gordo General Winfield Scott, marching on Mexico City, met and defeated a Mexican force of about 13,000.

1847- Peace negotiations with Mexico were initiated through the British minister, Charles Bankhead.

1847- At Churubusco General Winfield Scott defeated a Mexican army of 20,000.

1847- At the Battle of Molino del Rey U.S. forces under General Winfield Scott defeated an estimated 12,000 Mexicans.

1848- The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed by the U.S. and Mexico on February 2, 1848, formally ended the Mexican War (1846-1848). By the terms Mexico recobnized Texas as part of the U.S. and ceded to the U.S. over 500,000 square miles of territory, including all of the future states of California, Nevada, and Utah, almost all of New Mexico and Arizona, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. In return the U.S. agreed to pay Mexico $15,000,000 and to assume the claims of U.S. citizens against Mexico, amounting to $3,250,000. The U.S. became an enormous continental republic, but the acquisition of the new territory aggravated the dispute between slavery and antislavery forces. The war resulted in 1721 dead and 4102 wounded. In addition, some 11,155 Americans died of disease as a result of the war. The total cost of the war was estimated at $97,500,000.
