California's Stance on The Great American Boycott 2006
SCR 113 Senate Concurrent Resolution - INTRODUCED
Why is it that almost everyone that is trying to spin the illegal alien issue completely neglects to state ANYTHING about ILLEGAL immigrants?!? Instead, they simply refer to "immigrants," completely distorting reality. I have no truck with ANYONE who immigrates to this country LEGALLY. The quote below is from Bill Number SCR 113, introduced to the California Senate by three senators and co-authored by another senator and six assembly members - all of apparent Latino origin, based on their surnames.
I have no doubt whatever that immigrants contribute GREATLY to our society. There aren't many of us here who aren't immigrants ourselves or descendants of immigrants. I have not once heard that disputed by anyone who is vocal against illegal immigration. If people want to come here, wonderful! Help this nation grow. But, when they do come, they must come legally. Assimilate into American society. Learn English. Learn our laws. Pay taxes. Demand fair wages and benefits. America is NOT a free all-you-can-eat buffet! Pay your way and enjoy the bounty. Otherwise, we reserve the right to refuse service.

WHEREAS, Nearly 40 percent of California's foreign-born residents are United States citizensIt would seem then, that they are stating, in a legal document, that over 60 percent of California's foreign-born residents are ILLEGAL ALIENS. Read the bill; it's short. Nowhere in it does it address the issue that Americans are finally getting pissed off about - ILLEGAL ALIENS. "Immigrants" this and "immigrants" that, but nowhere does it mention the issue it's intended to relieve via education - ILLEGAL ALIENS.
