I see that great minds think alike! No sooner had I finished my own blog entry about our good friend Tyche Hendricks, I came over here and discovered an excellent piece! Here's what I can add to it. Cheers... from San Fransanity... Tuesday, April 10, 2007 Tyche Hendricks - propagandist - is at it again! Another sly piece of pro-illegal alien propaganda made it's way into SFGate again today, and, as usual, the author was none other than pro-illegal alien propagandist extraordinaire Tyche Hendricks. Hendricks, who asserts rather incredibly that 4 out of 5 Californians favor legalizing illegals, plays fast and loose with the facts. He cited a Field Poll on immigration as his source for his conclusions, so I thought it might be fun to get a copy of the report and see if what the report says and what Hendricks SAYS it says match up. And, as you will see, they kinda don't... Hendricks asserts... Support among California voters for legalizing undocumented immigrants rose to 83 percent from 75 percent last April, while 67 percent of respondents backed a guest worker plan, up from 60 percent a year ago. But Hendricks, as usual, leaves a couple things out. While his numbers are accurate, his conclusions as to what they constitute are not. One might get the idea that the Field Poll question was "Do you favor legalization for illegal immigrants?" But, what the Field Poll ACTUALLY says is this (emphasis mine)... (Should we) Create a program that would allow illegal immigrants who have been living in the U.S. for a number of years an OPPORTUNITY to stay in this country and apply for citizenship IF THEY HAVE A JOB, LEARNED ENGLISH, AND PAID BACK TAXES? To take that statement and word it to make it sound like a blanket amnesty is dishonest, and, unfortunately, typical of Hendrick's style. Another example... Support among California voters for legalizing undocumented immigrants rose to 83 percent from 75 percent last April, while 67 percent of respondents backed a guest worker plan, up from 60 percent a year ago. Again, there are some important qualifiers (in regards to the GWP) that Hendricks has conveniently left out. The question posed by the Field Poll was not, as Hendricks suggests, do you support a GWP, but was, in fact (again, with my emphasis)... (Should we) Create TEMPORARY worker programs for illegal immigrants that would LEGALIZE THEIR STATUS (presumably, as temporary workers) and allow future immigrants to work in this country? Here's more... California voters increasingly oppose a federal plan for 700 more miles of border fence -- with just 37 percent favoring it this year, down from 47 percent last April, the Field Poll found. And just 53 percent of those polled voiced support the current policy of federal agents rounding up, detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. JUST 53%? That sounds like a majority to me, and, again, there's a hidden bias here. Hendricks speaks gushingly

the reason why is money and political race ideals, understand population is a weapon and its being used by the power guy's to take your nation from you read what wolfowitz said about one world government and what is being planned for you at the next Bilderberg meeting, I love it!

_(Should we) Create a program that would allow illegal immigrants who have been living in the U.S. for a number of years an OPPORTUNITY to stay in this country and apply for citizenship IF THEY HAVE A JOB, LEARNED ENGLISH, AND PAID BACK TAXES?_ OF course, if this plan is implemented we can safely predict the following: (1) it will be more than an "opportunity", legalization will mean virtually automatic legalization for all applicants, (2) _noone_ will be deported for failing an English test, (3) paying any back taxes will be on a very easy payment plan (not to mention that determinng tax liabilty might be difficult for people using one or more false or stolen ss numbers or those working off-the books; in fact if you're working off-the-books you can simply invent an income that allows you to incur zero tax libility). _Should we) Create TEMPORARY worker programs for illegal immigrants that would LEGALIZE THEIR STATUS (presumably, as temporary workers) and allow future immigrants to work in this country?_ The Bush plan proposes "infiniely renewable" visas for illegal aliens.That doesn't sound "temporary" to me.

_(2) noone will be deported for failing an English test,..._ Absolutely true. I mean, even if they do fail (and lots will), given current practice, E.G. WE ALREADY PRINT BALLOTS IN MORE THAN A FEW FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO ACCOMMODATE VOTERS (CITIZENS) WHO DON\'T SPEAK ENGLISH WELL ENOUGH (for gosh sakes), what practical, enforceable effect could it possibly have?! Wouldn't they just get permanent residence anyway (and wait a while longer for citizenship)? All of these bullshit don't pass go and collect $200 tack-ons are so fucking absurd and really show how intellectually bankrupt many lawmakers are; they seem to either have total contempt for the average person paying attention to all of this, or maybe they are just that dumb and infantile, and expect we are too. It's pathetic.

And is the government going to hire a million new workers to test their language skills, tax "records," and backgrounds? A poll can ask anything. "Would you rather be poked in the eye with a big stick or pass Bush's amnesty plan?"

Within 20 to 30 years most people will know one thing the USA Has become Mexico in all things and i mean in all things, and no one will care about laws from a dead country. so go with the Bush plan and watch the fun, that is if you are in your 50 or 60's but if you are 30 or 40 and are not Hispanic find a place that your Family will not be Murdered or Beheaded mexican will become Great Islamists in the coming future
