Hundreds march in Houston on immigration

[DeclinetoState]

HOUSTON - Hundreds of immigrants and their supporters marched through a Mexican-American neighborhood on Saturday calling for lawmakers to create a far-reaching immigration policy that allows undocumented workers to keep their families intact.

About 300 to 400 participants beat drums, blew whistles and carried signs and banners, along with U.S. and Mexican flags. One sign read "Today we march, tomorrow we vote."

Five-year-old Grace Bandercan had a more personal message on her sign: "Mommy and I are Americans, but please don't deport Daddy."

Grace's father, Hugo Bandercan, is an immigrant construction worker who pays his taxes and is trying to obtain resident status. Her mother, Elizabeth, is a school teacher who said the family lives in constant fear of Hugo's deportation, citing the burdensome and lengthy process of gaining permanent status.

Using kids for political propaganda is one of the more despicable acts imaginable.

AWWWWWWWWWAAAH!:whine: :baby:

Send his ass back, and after he has finished his punishment, he can petition again after waiting in line. That is, if nobody is on welfare.

Now that I think of it. Working all day, 6 days week, just to make a living is too burdensome. It takes too long to make a buck. Why not start knocking off 7-11s and gas stations. In fact, the government should legalize robbery. It's the way some people feed their families, if not done violently, it doesn't hurt anyone. Arresting and prosecuting robbers splits up families and upsets children.

Pack them all up and send them back to where they came from.

Oh yeah. You criminals break into my house peacefully to rob me, and you can sing Kumbayah also. You will be carried out in pieces.

Okay. Back to the burdensome and lengthy process of trying to gain permanent status as a welfare bum.

Hundreds of ILLEGAL ALIENS, perhaps.

Undocument workers = ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Here's an idea: The illegal aliens can keep their families intact by going back to Mexico.

Can't say that though, since it offends the criminal aliens.

The government has legalized robbery.

It's called Taxation Without Representation.

It was the cause of a huge Tea Party up north in Yankee Land a couple of hundred years ago, and it caused the powers that be amoung our ancestors to rethink their way of governing.

Maybe it's time for another Tea Party. Only this time, it would be 100 Sentaors and 500+ Representatives thrown into the harbor --with cinder blocks chained firmly to their worthless necks.

As a Coast Guard vet, I am well qualified to toss them their concrete life preservers, and I volunteer to do so.
