Maryland to be sued over driver's licenses; AP not telling whole truth
Michael J. Feeney of the AP offers "Immigrants Denied Licenses to File Suit Against Md. MVA". It starts out with this bit designed to soften you up:
All she wants to do is drive to school, but Margaret Mengly Peredo Echalar says she can't get a driver's license, despite having provided proper identification to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration.
Awww. Except, it's not really just about one person's wish to get to school, now is it? It's also about all those other people who want licenses, and what they'll do with it: for instance, boarding airplanes. And, of course, driver's licenses are breeder documents: they're used to obtain other documentation. And, if, for instance, someone is an illegal alien, having a driver's license makes it seem like they're here legally.
Speaking of which, the AP "journalist" does not provide any details on the status of their poster child or that of the "13 immigrants" who will be filing a suit today against Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration, accusing them of "violating state laws and procedures." At no time are we told whether their legal status is involved in this issue
Two of the groups behind this appear to be Casa de Maryland (quotes from their spokeswoman Kim Propeack and their Executive Director Gustavo Torres are provided) and the Association for the Advancement and Equality of Women.

I AM A DPS EMPLOYEE IN TX. IN BUSH'S OWN STATE, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SHOW LEGAL PRESENCE OR EVEN RESIDENCY FOR THAT MATTER TO OBTAIN A DRIVERS LICENSE. MANY, MANY ILLEGALS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS HAVE DL'S AND ID'S EVEN WITHOUT BENEFIT OF SS, BECAUSE OF AN AFFIDAVIT THAT YOU CAN SIGN STATING THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE A SS OR YOU HAVE BEEN DENIED AN SS. AND THE MOST APPALLING OF ALL IS THAT IT IS STATED IN THE DPS MANUAL THAT WE (TECHNICIANS) MUST REGISTER TO VOTE IF THEY REQUEST - WE MUST TAKE THEIR APPLICATION AT "FACE VALUE". ILLEGALS CAN AND DO GET COMMERCIAL DL EVERY DAY AND MY PARTICULAR CAPTAIN DOES NOT RESTRICT (PER REGULATIONS) TO TX ONLY FOR LIMITED OR NO ENGLISH SPEAKING/READING.
TEXAS IS RIGHT BEHIND ARKANSAS AND WASHINGTON STATE FOR THE WORST STATES IN ISSUING TO ILLEGALS AND DOCUMENTATION POLICY. SHAMEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!

perroazul del norte is a fool just like his people always have been.
the fact is many people of the third world can't understand how a nation is built and how freedom works for or against you tells me that people are not the same and people who can't see that fact of life will get the third world life.
Long live the USA, Down with the drug dealers of the third world, death to the Reds and all who hate our freedoms, inside and outside.

From Fjorman on the crisis in "Eurabia":
http://fjordman.blogspot.com/2005/11/online-workshop-part-2-can-eurabia.html
Online Workshop Part 2: Can Eurabia Still be Averted?
Historian Bat Ye'or, who first coined the term "Eurabia", thinks that Europe's ties with the Arab-Islamic world are now so firmly entrenched and established that Eurabia is an irreversible fact. Europe will cease to be a Western, democratic continent, and will become an appendix to the Arab world, a civilization of dhimmitude employed to spread Jihad and further the cause of Islam on a global basis, while the original, non-Muslim population are held hostage in their own countries out of fear of Muslim violence. Do you think this is true, or can Eurabia still be reversed and Europe salvaged?
I must admit there are certain parts of Europe that do seem to be beyond hope, or very close to it. ALL of the largest Dutch cities are projected to have a Muslim majority within a generation, as will several English, French, Belgian, Scandinavian and Spanish cities. I forsee several possible scenarios:
1. Eurabia.
The EU continues its transformation into a continent-wide organization with clear totalitarian leanings, and a very pro-Islamic stance. Europe's fate is sealed when Turkey is allowed into the Union, and becomes its largest member. Freedom of speech will be shut down, and any criticism of Islam banned. Eurabia will become a global center for Jihad activities, as the dhimmi taxpayers and infidel Western technology give a boost to the Ummah. For this reason, the Americans, the Israelis, the Indians, the Russians and maybe even the Chinese will have to crush Eurabia by brute force, as it will represent a grave security threat for them.
Muslims will be heavily concentrated in the major cities, and the dhimmi native population will retreat into the countryside. I believe something similar took place in the Balkans during Ottoman Turkish rule. The old nation states will thus slowly die, as their major cities, which constitute the brain and "head" of its culture, are cut off from the rest of the body. Europe's decline into Eurabia will be speeded up by the fact that millions of educated natives with the means to it will move to the USA or other nations. This trickle of Eurabian refugees wil eventually be slowed down by the authorities in the now totalitarian Europe, as it will erode the tax base. Native Europeans will simply be banned from leaving. There will be no war in Western Europe, as its civilization is already dead and very few will bother fighting for it. The only violence will be sporadic Islamic terror attacks to induce fear, and occasional Muslim mob assaults in European streets to remind the dhimmis who is boss. It is conceivable that the center of European civilization will move from Western Europe to Eastern Europe, but even Eastern Europe will be put under severe pressure from Muslims, both in the Middle East and in the West
War
Personally, I think this alternative is at least as likely as the above. It also contains several sub-scenarios, partly depending upon when the eventual war starts, and partly on whether there is still some Western pride and resistance left in Europe underneath the self-loathing and Multiculturalism:
The Pakistanization of Europe.
Muslims aren't numerous enough to control the entire continent. In the event of war, there will be mutual ethnic cleansing and Muslims will seize parts of Western Europe. For instance, a belt stretching from parts of Germany via Belgium and Holland to France, but maybe even regions within certain nation states. All of Europe will not be lost, but some parts will, and many others will de deeply damaged by the fighting. Much of our cultural treasures will burn. How things will go from there is difficult to predict. Perhaps this new "Pakistan" in the heart of Europe will be the source of constant instability and the staging ground for Jihad incursions into infidel areas, just as Pakistan is to India now. Perhaps we will see a slow reconquest of this area, possibly taking generations or even centuries.
Reconquista - The Second Expulsion of the Moors
Muslims strike too early, before they are ready to seize control over major chunks of Europe. It is possible to view the Jihad riots in France in this light. They overestimate their own power, and underestimate the strength that, despite everything, is still left in Europe. Once a full-blown civil war starts in one country, it can, and probably will, spread to other countries. We are now witnessing an example of this, as smaller "sympathy riots" have been staged by Muslims in Belgium, Holland, Germany and Denmark. Given the European Union's borderless nature, it is unlikely that war will be limited to one nation only. This will create a domino effect, and Muslims will be expelled from Europe yet again, after major bloodshed and millions of dead across the continent.
Global Civil War
Europe has been the primary staging ground for one cold and two hot world wars. It could become a major battlefield in an Islamic world war, too. A world war is already simmering, with Muslims clashes against Russia, Europe, Israel, China, India, the USA and Southeast Asia. Once the fighting starts in Europe, it could spread outside the continent and ignite a world war. This is the scenario that DP111 calls a "global civil war". It would become the worst and most destructive war in human history, involving nuclear weapons on both sides. It could completely destroy the Middle East and North Africa, deeply damage Europe, the Indian continent, and parts of Southeast Asia, and inflict serious casualties on the USA, Australia and Africa. Its secondary and economic ripples will be felt on all corners of the planet, uncluding the ones least involved in the actual fighting, such as Latin America and East Asia.
3. A Second Renaissance - Western Rebirth in Europe
Although I must admit that I find this scenario to be the least likely at this point, we should discuss the possibility of whether the Islamic threat will force the West to rethink its values and regain its strength. Can this be done, and how would this take place? Is it possible to avoid both major war and Eurabia or is this wishful thinking by now? The growth of Eurabia is closely tied to the growth of the EU. Perhaps we could derail Eurabia by dismantling the EU?
