E Pluribus Unum: "Out of many, one". Say NO to Amnesty!

At the recent state convention of the NC Latino Coalition, in front of 1500 hispanic immigrants and special interests promoting Amnesty, B.J. Lawson had a clear message: Assimilate. Don't come to our country just looking for a job.
You would expect that a convention supposedly about becoming a United States citizen would have featured the U.S. flag - you would be wrong. The only official flag shown was that of the Mexican flag.

Support B.J.'s campaign against 22-year incumbent David Price - who votes with Nancy Pelosi more than any other congressman and who supports amnesty for illegal immigrants.

This isn't a racial issue, this is a question of common sense. America loves immigration, after all we are a country of immigrants. But we must have people who are coming here for the right reasons, that is, those who understand what America stands for and its constitutional principles of government.

@IamStoneDrunk In fact, immigrants commit fewer crimes than natives. And in fact, immigrants often pay taxes without receiving any benefits, e.g. social security. And in fact, all the same arguments were used against German and Irish immigrants in the 1900s.

But regardless, my point was that no one has the right to prevent peaceful immigration. Aside from violent crime, even if you're correct, you STILL don't have the right. It's not up to you or me why people come here. Force is not justified.

@mrdowns The laws exists for a screening process so we know that murders, rapists, and other undesirables do not come here, because we are not a global society. For a country to prosper, it needs to share at least similar views on ethics in order to achieve economic success.

Further more, illegal immigrants are receive social benefits and not paying taxes. People should immigrate to integrate, not just for a better job. We should preserve our culture, like they are theirs.

Well, this is disappointingly nationalist.

Humans have rights because they're human, not because they have American values or follow arbitrary immigration laws. Amnesty is the recognition that our laws violate the rights of peaceful people. If they've broken a law in coming here, then the law is wrong, not them.

Whether they come here is not up to you. If you use force stop them or deport them, you're the aggressor, not them.

As an immigrant who came here with my parents LEGALLY 2 decades ago and who has seen the unfairness of immigrants to successfully come to this country ILLEGALLY, I sympathize with BJ. However, this isn't about illegal or legal, it's about political parasitism of the Washington Elitist on the ignorance of the Mexicans on the values and ideals of this country based on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution that followed. It's the Washington Political Machine that should be vilified

@donniedrp I am from planet earth. How about you?

[donniedrp]

@opendora And what country are you from, friend? Everyone who disagrees with a liberal is a racist, at least that seems to be the liberal way of thinking.

[donniedrp]

We need to support this young man, and get him elected. Obama and the liberals will sell this country out for the votes of illegal aliens who become citizens through amnesty. At least Clinton only sold sleepovers in the Lincoln bedroom.

Guys, this is a political ploy as BJ says. BJ is in favor of rational immigration reform. Cut the wealth envy and the name calling. Don't let your emotions get the better of you.

@opendora No. I'm his campaign manager, and I'm of Mexican descent.

[opendora]

aren't you a little bit racist Mr. Lawson?
