WHY ARE MOST DEMS HISPANDERERS?
ILLEGALS VOTING? Of course they are! You thought they broke our border laws and then started obeying laws and ordinances???
Mexicans are contemptuous of our laws! They are merely a stupid gringo joke. The politicians have enabled 38 million illegals from Mexico to live lawless existence in our country. Mexico is substantially a lawless state.
There are only 8 states that have a larger population than Los Angeles County were 47% of those with a job are illegally employed using a stolen social security number.
In Mexican occupied Orange County, California, Rep. Linda and Loretta Sanchez (sisters) were “elected” with the votes of illegals!
La Raza endorsed Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer have long sabotaged the voting system by demanding NO ENGLISH ONLY (Mexicans loathe having to speak English) and NO ID to register or vote. Not that illegals don’t typically have a pocket full of fraudulent I.D.
The La Raza Dems have and will always sell us out to the illegals. It’s not that they care about Mexicans, they don’t give a fuck about Americans! However their corporate masters demand ever depressed wages! The Mexican occupation depressed wages for Americans $300 - $400 BILLION PER YEAR. You wondered why most of the FORTUNE 500 are generous to La Raza, the racist Mexican political party for Mexican supremacy???

Illegal aliens seen eroding vote
By Sean Lengell
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
March 8, 2007
Illegal aliens are eroding the integrity of U.S. elections, and will continue to do so without tighter voting laws, several members of Congress testified at a hearing on Capitol Hill yesterday.
"There is a very real possibility that noncitizens have affected the outcomes of elections in the past, and will in the future," said Rep. Brian P. Bilbray, California Republican, before a House Judiciary Committee on voting irregularities and election deception.
With more than 20 million foreign-born residents in the United States who are not U.S. citizens, including at least 12 million illegal aliens, the potential for noncitizen voting is a growing concern, Mr. Bilbray said.
Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, said illegal aliens in many states can easily acquire driver's licenses, making it easy for them to register to vote, especially states with "motor-voter" laws.
"With many states making driver's licenses available to legal noncitizens and illegal aliens, it is probable voter rolls contain large numbers of noncitizens and illegal aliens," Mr. King said.
But several Democrats said the intimidation of immigrant voters -- not the voting of illegal aliens -- is the biggest election-reform priority.
"Election intimidation and deception have become an unfortunate aspect of recent federal elections, threatening to undermine Americans' confidence in a democratic government," said Rep. John Conyers Jr., Michigan Democrat and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
"Our goal is to protect every citizen's constitutional right to vote, and to thwart any future attempts to disenfranchise eligible voters through fraud, deception and intimidation."
Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, Maryland Democrat, accused Republicans of distributing fraudulent "official Democratic voter guides" during his 2006 re-election bid in an attempt to confuse black voters to vote for his Republican challenger.
"It is time for Congress to once again take action to stop the latest reprehensible tactics that are being used against African-American voters," Mr. Cardin said.
In response to voter-intimidation cases, Sen. Barack Obama, Illinois Democrat, earlier this year introduced the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Act, which would impose penalties on people or groups found guilty of intimidating voters.
As for ID issues, Mr. Bilbray said the new REAL ID law, which will require states to verify proof of citizenship before issuing driver's licenses and voter identification cards, will greatly help combat fraudulent voting.
"Many people tend to think that the photo ID requirement would suppress voting, but there has never been evidence to support that assertion," Mr. Bilbray said. "Much to the contrary -- evidence shows that anti-fraud provisions increase voter turnout."
Mr. Bilbray added that more than a 100 democracies worldwide require voters to show photo IDs, including Mexico.
Earlier this month, the Bush administration delayed the start date for the REAL ID law from May 11, 2008, to Dec. 31, 2009.

Latino Activists Put Faith in Ballots
As immigration rights leaders assess gains and losses since rallies last spring, they turn their focus to the recruitment of 1 million new voters.
By Teresa WatanabeTimes Staff Writer September 10, 2006
Has the immigrant rights movement fizzled?
At a national Latino conference that drew hundreds to downtown Los Angeles last week, movement leaders emphatically said no.
Although Congress has stalled action on broad immigration reform and Labor Day marches failed to mobilize wide support, activists said they were only now beginning to roll out the next stage of their battle: a massive effort to produce 1 million new Latino voters and U.S. citizens.
FOR THE RECORD:
Latino conference: An article in the Sept. 10 California section about a national Latino conference in downtown Los Angeles had a picture showing a man from the Pilipino Workers Center holding Philippine flags at a rally. The caption should have stated that the Sept. 9 rally, which followed the conference, also included immigration rights activists other than Latinos. Also, this and three other stories about immigration issues since April incorrectly identified Armando Navarro as chairman of UC Riverside's ethnic studies department. He is a professor in that department. —
"Now is not march time," Antonio Gonzalez, president of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project in Los Angeles, said Saturday. "We're mobilizing voters. That's the big deal."But immigration control advocates say the marches last spring doomed activists' efforts by alienating most Americans and strengthening support for stronger border control and opposition to legalization."The mass sea of illegal aliens bearing foreign flags and hostile placards really produced a pronounced backlash, from which they've never recovered," said John Keeley, spokesman for the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies. The movement's fate is in question just months after hundreds of thousands of immigrants and their supporters startled the nation by pouring into the streets to protest a House bill that would criminalize undocumented immigrants and those who support them. Buoyed by their success, they helped push the U.S. Senate to pass a landmark bill increasing visas and offering legalization to many of the nation's estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants.Since then, some activists acknowledge, their ranks have become demoralized as congressional action on the issue stalled over the summer and recent marches have fallen flat.In Los Angeles, for instance, police estimated that only about 1,500 people turned out for a Labor Day weekend rally that organizers had predicted would draw as many as 50,000. And Cecilia Munoz, a vice president of the National Council of La Raza, said some immigrants were reluctant to risk their jobs to march because the likelihood of legalization and other reform does not appear imminent."A lot of people feel a loss," immigrant activist Oscar Garcon said Saturday at the National Latino Congreso, which was billed as the most comprehensive gathering of Latino leaders in nearly 30 years. "They say, 'We demonstrated, we came out by the millions, but what did we change?' "But he and others said a movement cannot fairly be measured by the size of its marches or its early setbacks, and some experts agree.Louis DeSipio, a UC Irvine associate professor of political science and Chicano/Latino studies, said it was premature to dismiss prospects for broad immigration reform.He said such aims could take years to achieve. The 1986 amnesty for illegal immigrants, for instance, took a decade to pass and did so abruptly, just as most members of Congress thought the provision dead.DeSipio said movements cannot be built from marches alone."It's good they've moved away from the marches," he said. "Marches can get people's attention, but it doesn't necessarily get a higher percentage of the community involved in civic participation. That's what things like get-out-the-vote and voter registration drives do."DeSipio said the ferment over immigration could in time lead to a surge in Latino voters similar to the one after the 1994 passage of Proposition 187. The measure would have denied health benefits to undocumented immigrants had it not been overturned in the courts. The number of legal residents who became U.S. citizens increased from 434,000 in 1994 to more than 1 million in 1996; and Latino registered voters in California increased from 1.6 million in 1996 to 1.9 million in 2000, according to the National Assn. of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund in Los Angeles.Activists argue that some preliminary data offer evidence of another surge. According to U.S. immigration statistics, the number of citizenship applications increased by 41.5% in May over last year, a far larger increase than in previous periods."This is one of many issues, and it's going to take time, but it will come," said Cristina Basurto, 32, a member of Women of Earth, a social justice organization, who attended a small rally after the conference Saturday near downtown. "I think people still have it in their hearts and still want to fight for what they believe in."The number of new Latino voters grew by 35,000 in Los Angeles County from March to August, helping to boost their share of the electorate from 20% to 24% over last year, according to an analysis of Los Angeles County registrar-recorder data by the Latino officials' organization. Marcelo Gaete, the organization's senior program director, said his staff used a surname dictionary to determine how many of the county's new voters were Latino. Keeley, however, said the political landscape proves his point: A get-tough stand on immigration is a winning political message. In Pennsylvania, for instance, he said Republican Sen. Rick Santorum is rapidly closing what had been a double-digit deficit in the polls in his race against his Democratic challenger, state Treasurer Robert Casey Jr., by campaigning with a tough immigration message. He also said congressional hearings on immigration and local town halls during the summer recess have convinced many legislators that constituents see border control as a top priority. As a result, he said, "the chances are less than zero" of winning legalization this year. Some Latino activists, including UC Riverside ethnic studies department Chairman Armando Navarro, agree that the movement for immigrant rights has lost steam. He said internal squabbling, a lack of leadership and a failure to organize immigrants for long-term political change had squandered their gains of the spring. DeSipio and others, however, said activists had already scored a significant victory by so far stopping the House bill, especially the provision that would criminalize undocumented immigrants and those who aid them, from becoming law. Elements of that bill, including border enforcement measures, however, may still pass. Now, activists say, they are gearing up to launch what they envision will be a long-term effort to mobilize Latino voters for elections this November and, more important, in 2008.Two organizations — the Service Employees International Union and the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project — have raised $7 million for national voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts. The National Assn. of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials plans to include 150,000 voter registration cards in La Opinion later this month and help sponsor another major workshop at the L.A. Convention Center to help immigrants apply for citizenship. A July workshop produced about 1,300 completed new citizenship applications, Gaete said. Spanish-language radio DJs, who helped turn masses out for marches, have also begun to actively promote voter registration and citizenship efforts. Renan Almendarez "El Cucuy" Coello took his "Votos por America" campaign to 10 cities over two weeks last month. DeSipio cautioned, however, that it was easier to register voters than to get them out to the polls."There's certainly the potential there," he said, "but it will require sustained investment and a lot of hard work."
