The surprise media coverage of the day for me was Harry Reid actually saying with a straight face that the border was secure.

Reid said income taxes are voluntary.

I guess he lives in a different world.

Default Educate via protests and letter-writing campaign

LOVE IT!!! True, right now, it IS as simple as that...isn't it? The only other thing one can discern from the "O" non-action is that he and his admin is COMPLICIT and has an ulterior motive for this to continue. So much for "transparency".

But the real SHAME is that, due to the facts and data already discussed on these threads, our country is being DECIMATED AND DESTROYED by these illegals, the cost, red tape, legal time, and the "machinery" it takes to care for this entire new faction/invasion of our country.

There's one in Raleigh, NC at the Mexican Consulate. Given the sheer number of illegals here in NC (long before the Barack Oborder 'crisis'), that might prove to be an interesting event.

I have a committment Friday morning, but I will head there afterwards and see if I can get some video to upload.

This border nonsense is really starting to irritate me. Not that I had any before, but I've lost all respect for virtually all of our elected idiots.
Great job, ntwrkguy1!!! Can't wait to see what you record! I believe there are events also scheduled for Saturday.

I concur about the raising ire....I wasn't very "involved" until I recently really started delving into the articles posted on illegals.

Then, I began to read research and data more and more, started to participate more here on CD...I became more and more angered as I became more educated.

Education brings awareness...this awareness brings passion...this passion results in ACTION!

Regarding your post below...yes, that's my experience in glancing through the major network and cable channels, too. (CNN had smaller articles reserved for the illegals, and at times, FOX had both major headlines and minor ones...)

One wonders what the heck is going on???

Several possibilities here...
one, is the obvious leftist slant. This is perceived to be a partisan issue (it most certainly IS NOT, and SHOULD NOT be). It IS a political one, in that our gov't is not acting on this as it should, or as per the will of the people!!!

Second, many still blindly follow "O", the Emperor with no clothes on.

Third, it could be that the "O" admin. is pressuring them to be quiet (akin to DHS "ordering" the border agents not to talk, nor "allowing" the media at the border.)

Fourth, it could be that most of the journalists DON'T REALLY KNOW OR UNDERSTAND all of the devastating facts associated with the care and keeping of these illegals here.

- I certainly didn't. I didn't realize ALL of the negative ramifications and the SCOPE of the damage (the costs, the crime, all of the programs dedicated to them over our own children and citizens) until I really read more and educated myself.

So...at the very least, I'm hoping these protests will serve to EDUCATE our citizens, the journalists, AND our reps/senators!!!

***???? With this in mind, would anyone out there be up to the task of writing a well-informed letter we all could use in our letter-writing campaign to these "lower education" people, news agencies, gov't, etc.?
---- If so, include, in list form, perhaps the top 10-15 major problems that illegals and this crisis pose to our country. Have a bibliography of references at the end to substantiate the major points.

--------Post it in a new thread, available to all. (please post here, and the march on Washington thread, that the letter is up and running in another thread. (if that's allowed)

--------If there are any volunteers, even a "group" willing to work on it together, post here, please!

(I can't do this right now...dealing with a family emergency/tragedy. If anyone would step up in doing so, that would be great!!!)

Agreed and when things REALLY hits the fan; which they WILL soon, illegal aliens better get the hint that the US ain't a real good place to be for their lawbreaking kind. Illegal Irish, Chinese, Mexican and so on.

I think we already saw that with the Murietta protests. However, in highly populated Hispanic areas I think you will see more of them protesting for the opposite. I read that in El Centro where that was the case that that there were no protesters against the busses of these Central Americans coming there.
