NANCY PELOSI SAYS INVADING MEXICANS COME TO VOTE DEMOCRAT, SIGN UP FOR ANCHOR BABY WELFARE, FREE MEDICAL, FREE EDUCATION AND FLY THEIR MEXICAN FLAGS.... Isn't that their right?

Harvey Weinstein has been exposed in the media as the sexual predator he

"But what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense 

of the American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power,

use it to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and 

venal. Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be 

clear to every person on the planet by now."  ----  Patricia McCarthy -

America surrenders its borders to the MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA, now masquerading as UNIDOSus.
An American immigrant is not someone supported by government funds in a "relocation" center; flown over here at government expense; given a cash allowance, free housing, and medical care; and then eased onto local public assistance: Section 8 rental grants, food stamps, WIC, AFDC, clothes from one government-sponsored charity or another, Medicaid, and public schooling, with free lunch and breakfasts and even help with furniture. That's not an immigrant.  That's a future Democrat voter.  ----- RICHARD F.

Adios, California

A fifth-generation Californian laments his state’s ongoing economic collapse.

By Steve Baldwin

American Spectator, October 19, 2017

What’s clear is that the producers are leaving the state and the takers are coming in. Many of the takers are illegal aliens, now estimated to number over 2.6 million. The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates that California spends $22 billion on government services for illegal aliens, including welfare, education, Medicaid, and criminal justice system costs. Liberals claim they more than make that up with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true. It’s not even close. FAIR estimates illegal aliens in California contribute only $1.21 billion in tax revenue, which means they cost California $20.6 billion, or at least $1,800 per household.

Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the Center for Immigration Studies has documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.

Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer, they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes. That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a “sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.

Indeed, California goes out of its way to attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the DMV. And just recently, the state-funded University of California system announced it will spend $27 million on financial aid for illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on stations all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border crossers hear about this program. I can’t afford college education for all my four sons, but my taxes will pay for illegals to get a college education.

Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. Taxpayers a Stunning $134.9 Billion a Year

Democrats signal shift to the right for 2018 campaign

By Patrick Martin
23 October 2017
The annual meeting of the Democratic National Committee, held in Las Vegas October 18-21, showed that party operatives are preparing for the 2018 election year with a distinct shift to the right in personnel, policy and candidates.
DNC Chairman Tom Perez, installed by the Clinton wing of the party establishment in a narrow victory over Representative Keith Ellison, a Sanders supporter, nominated a slate of candidates for top party committees that excluded several longtime activists who backed Sanders against Clinton in the campaign for the 2016 presidential nomination.
Among those removed from the executive committee were James Zogby, the highest-ranking Arab-American on the DNC; New Hampshire state party chairman Ray Buckley; longtime DNC Secretary Alice Germond, and Barbra Casbar Siperstein, the first transgendered member of the DNC. All either supported Sanders against Clinton, or Ellison against Perez, or both.
Initial press reports highlighted the protests by the former Sanders supporters, portraying the shake-up in the DNC committees, particularly the executive committee and the rules committee, as a “purge” of “dissenters,” although the actual policy differences involved are minimal.
Buckley told NBC News, “I understand the chair can do as he pleases, but still, it’s all just very disappointing.” Zogby tweeted, “this doesn’t bring the party together. It deepens the divide at a time we need all hands on deck for ‘18 & ‘20.”
There was also criticism of Perez for including former chair Donna Brazile on his slate of 75 at-large members for the DNC, given her role in 2016 when she gave Clinton a preview of questions before candidate events held on CNN. Her role was made public when WikiLeaks published Brazile’s contemporaneous emails. Another Perez selection was Manny Ortiz, a lobbyist for the huge Wall Street bank Citigroup.
The rules committee is particularly sensitive, since it will be charged with implementing the recommendations of a special Unity Reform Commission created by Clinton and Sanders as part of his agreement to endorse the Wall Street favorite after she corralled the majority of Democratic convention delegates.
The commission is drawing up recommendations on changes in state rules for delegate selection, including the role of so-called “super-delegates,” elected officials and DNC members who are given votes at the convention in addition to those delegates elected in primaries and caucuses. Virtually all super-delegates, the personification of the party establishment, backed Clinton.
While the Unity Reform Commission was balanced between Clinton and Sanders supporters, the rules committee that will receive its report and take action is stacked 5-0 in favor of former Clinton supporters, following the removal of Buckley.
Perez denied that there was any effort to remove former Sanders supporters or punish them. A spokesman used identity politics to justify the changes in composition, claiming that the Perez slate of committee members and at-large nominees “reflects the unprecedented diversity of our party’s coalition” by increasing the number of Native American, gay and Puerto Rican members, as well as trade union officials.
Jane Kleeb, chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party and a Sanders supporter, criticized the diversity claims, telling Huffington Post, “It’s not only misdirection, but it’s also divisive.” She added, “It continues to paint the Bernie people as not caring about our native and Latino and black brothers and sisters, which is complete nonsense.”
At one point on Friday, Karen Carter Peterson, DNC vice chair of civic engagement and voter participation, accused Sanders and Ellison supporters of seeking to remove black women from party leadership, citing, among others, Donna Brazile.
In another demonstration of the right-wing character of the party leadership, Perez named as a deputy finance chair of the DNC Dan Halpern, a former chairman of the Georgia Restaurant Association and past board member of the National Restaurant Association. Both these organizations are strident opponents of any increase in the minimum wage, let alone the $15-an-hour minimum to which the Democratic Party is nominally pledged.
Another effort to attack the Sanders camp was turned back Friday when the DNC rejected by voice vote a resolution urging Sanders to “register or affiliate with the Democratic Party” rather than continuing to hold his Vermont Senate seat as an independent. Zogby called this an effort that “puts salt in a wound that we need to be closing right now.”
In a cosmetic effort to cover up the corporate domination of the party, the DNC adopted language rejecting contributions from “corporate donors that conflict with our DNC platform.” This had been rejected by the platform committee but was then approved by the full DNC.
While described as “anti-corporate,” the measure’s real significance can be judged by its chief sponsor—Christine Pelosi, the daughter of longtime Representative and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and her multimillionaire real estate investor husband Paul Pelosi. Ms. Pelosi was ludicrously described in press accounts as “a San Francisco activist,” with no mention of her family connection.
In his closing address to the DNC meeting on Saturday, Perez sought to cover up the right-wing shift in the party with a blast of anti-Trump demagogy. He denounced Trump as an “existential threat” to the nation. “We have the most dangerous president in American history and one of the most reactionary Congresses in American history,” he told his audience.
From the standpoint of the Democratic Party, however, the danger posed by Trump is not the danger of a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula or the attack on democratic rights and social benefits at home, but rather the completely unsupported claims that Trump was elected because of Russian intervention in the 2016 elections, and thus embodies a Russian takeover of the White House.
The anti-Russia campaign is the main focus of congressional Democrats, who are otherwise seeking to engage the White House in collaboration on questions such as immigration, tax and budget policy, and infrastructure, while joining with the Republicans in bipartisan support for military operations in Korea, the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe.
The anti-Russia campaign is given a particularly sinister character by the recruitment of a half dozen former CIA and military intelligence officers to run as Democratic candidates in critical marginal seats in the House of Representatives.
As the Washington Post put it, in a report published on the newspaper’s website October 18, “The spooks have come in from the cold, and they’re running for Congress.”
Three former CIA officers are seeking the Democratic congressional nomination in key districts, including: Abigail Spanberger in Richmond, Virginia; Elissa Slotkin in Brighton, Michigan; and Jeff Beals in a Hudson Valley district in New York state, where one of his opponents for the Democratic nomination is former Army intelligence officer Patrick Ryan.
Gina Ortiz Jones, a former Air Force intelligence officer, is running in a Texas district where the incumbent Republican, Will Hurd, is a former CIA agent. Still another intelligence operative, Jay Hulings, a staff member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, is also seeking the nomination to challenge Hurd.
Spanberger cited Trump’s derision of the CIA’s finding of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 elections, telling the Post, “It is wholly unfortunate that the president—at least through his actions and words—isn’t appreciating what they [the CIA] do.”

AMERICA vs MEXICO: CLASHING CULTURES
By Frosty Wooldridge


Mexicans cheat, distribute drugs, lie, forge documents, steal and kill as if it’s a normal way of life. For them, it is. Mexico’s civilization stands diametrically opposed to America’s culture.

The legal age of sexual consent in Mexico is 12 years old. Sex with children at this age and younger is socially acceptable in Mexico. For example: A Mexican Lopez-Mendez pleaded guilty to sexual assault on a 10 year old girl in West Virginia.

HOW “CHEAP” IS ALL THAT INVADING “CHEAP” LABOR?
Natalio Vitervo-Vasquez was deported twice but returned to provide “cheap” labor. He can’t read or write and raped his 10-year-old daughter.


“Prosecutors say the girl, who was 11-years-old at the time, went to a medical center where it was determined she was pregnant. Officials say she would have conceived the child at ten years of age.”

 JOBS FOR LEGALS? 95 MILLION LEGALS GIVE UP HOPE FOR A JOB IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY.
A Nation unravels and Mexico invades, occupies and loots

AMERICA: NO LEGAL NEED APPLY

REPORT: The assault to finish off the American middle-class is NOT over


“The report noted that many illegals don't have jobs or have difficulty in landing good jobs because of local laws.”

“However, it identified several states that have begun easing employment laws so that illegals can get a job.”

JUDICIAL WATCH:

“The greatest criminal threat to the daily lives of American citizens are the Mexican drug cartels.”



“Mexican drug cartels are the “other” terrorist threat to America. Militant Islamists have the goal of destroying the United States. Mexican drug cartels are now accomplishing that mission – from within, every day, in virtually every community across this country.” JUDICIALWATCH
"An important factor in our long-term 
success requires securing our borders," 
Attorney General Sessions said.

Overall, in the 2017 Fiscal Year, officials revealed that a record-breaking 455,000 pounds plus of drugs had already been seized. In 2016, that number amounted to 443,000 pounds. The 2017 haul is worth an estimated $6.1 billion – BREITBART – JEFF SESSION’S DRUG BUST ON SAN DIEGO

REMITTANCES ….. are only part of Mexico’s looting… and billions for anchor  baby breeders, billions for heroin sales and then do the numbers!


Mexicans abroad sent home nearly $2.4 billion in transfers in November, 24.7 percent higher than a year earlier, marking their fastest pace of expansion since March 2006, according to Mexican central bank data on Monday…

ILLEGALS & WELFARE
70% OF ILLEGALS GET WELFARE!
“According to the Centers for Immigration Studies, April '11, at least 70% of Mexican illegal alien families receive some type of welfare in the US!!! cis.org”
CIS

So when cities across the country declare that they will NOT be sanctuary, guess where ALL the illegals, criminals, gang members fleeing ICE will go???? straight to your welcoming city. So ironically the people fighting for sanctuary city status, may have an unprecedented crime wave to deal with along with the additional expense.

END THE MEX INVASION – IMPOSE BORDER to OPEN BORDER E-VERIFY and put EMPLOYERS OF ILLEGALS IN PRISON!


Notice how we never hear the phony populist Trump talking about E-VERIFY!

AMERICA:  NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!
“The percentage of foreign-born workers in the U.S. labor force has more than tripled over the last four decades and while the U.S. represents just 5 percent of the world’s population it attracts 20 percent of the world’s immigrants, according to a new report.”


Open the floodgates of our welfare state to the uneducated, impoverished, and unskilled masses of the world and in a generation or three America, as we know it, will be gone.

Those most impacted are middle class and lower middle class. It is they whose jobs are taken, whose raises are postponed, whose schools are filled with non-English speaking children that absorb precious resources for remedial English, whose public parks are trashed and whose emergency rooms serve as the local clinic for the illegal underground.

Pelosi on Her, Schumer and Trump: ‘We Said We Had Shared Values When We Spoke With Him’


By CNSNews.com Staff | October 19, 2017 | 4:02 PM EDT


House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi at Los Angeles press conference, Oct. 18, 2017. (Screen Capture)
(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said at a press conference yesterday at the Los Angeles headquarters of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights that when she and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer met with President Donald Trump for dinner at the White House last month they told him they had shared values with him.
“We said we had shared values when we spoke with him,” Pelosi said, according to the videotape of the press conference posted on her Facebook page.
Pelosi was explaining why she “trusts” President Trump to follow through and legalize the “DREAMers,” who came to the United States illegally when they were minors.
“Now, just a word about the president and the heartless act that he committed when he rescinded the DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals],” Pelosi said. “I have confidence that he believes in the DREAMers. He told us that. We said we had shared values when we spoke with him, Leader Schumer and the three of us speaking together on this. So I trust he will honor that commitment because the American people want him to do so.”
On Sept. 5, the Trump administration announced that it was rescinding President Obama’s DACA policy, which allowed illegal aliens who had arrived as minors to stay in the United States, but that the cancellation of the policy would not take effect for six months—during which time Congress could work on legislation to deal with the issue.
On Sept. 13, Pelosi and Schumer had dinner with Trump at the White House. When the Democratic leaders emerged from the meeting they put out a joint statement.
“We had a very productive meeting at the White House with the President,” said Pelosi and Schumer. “The discussion focused on DACA. We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides.”
Later at Wednesday’s press briefing in Los Angeles, Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D.-Calif.), made clear that he did not trust President Trump.
“Somebody had mentioned about trust and the president,” Gomez said. “I don’t trust the president, but what do you want us to do, walk away? No we’re not going to walk away, right.
“Even if you follow another president: Trust but verify,” said Gomez. “The trust is that when we put a bill on his desk, that’s the trust part. The verification part is if he signs it or not and it will be up to President Trump to determine if he is going to deny DREAMers and DACA recipients, not once but twice, that access to the American dream. That’s what it’s about.”
Pelosi then chimed into say that the Democrats will see what Trump does toward legalizing the DREAMers as a  “test of trust” for Trump.
“We see this as a test of trust, because we have said we’re disappointed in a number of things he has done since he was president, but one place that we can find common ground that would be a threshold for us to talk about other issues is this,” Pelosi said.
“This isn’t an issue for us, it’s a value, it’s an ethic. It’s who we are as a nation and we can’t change that,” she said. “So, is he willing to join us in this and, if so, we have some other things to talk about.”
