PHONEY RALLY AT WHITE HOUSE AGAINST AZ GOV BREWER

Yesterday I had the opportunity to watch the contrived rally in front of the White House allegedly to protest Arizona's much welcomed new immigration law & the meeting between Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and President Obama on immigration issues.

Far from a spontaneous public outburst against AZ, it was instead the usual suspects doing their thing probably on the taxpayers' nickel. CASA of Maryland led by Kimmie Propeak and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) were 90 percent of the crowd of about 60 people. Both organizations had their trademark tee-shirts on. There was a sprinkling of, dare I say, people who when I got close enough to listen spoke little or no English. Those folks were propped in from the microphones and cameras of the almost totally Hispanic media.

I was pleased to see that there were a good number of counter protesters like myself there from MD and VA, and a few AZ flags! I did 6 radio and TV interviews to present the side of American citizens supporting Arizona and concerned about illegal immigration and the need for enforcement of immigration laws nation-wide. I wish I had a picture of those Hispanic journalists when I answered their loaded questions with the facts, it was priceless.

Best of all was an on camera debate I had with some left wing college students trying to argue for the illegals. The usual weak arguments which we have already answered on the Help Save Maryland website.

With one addition. The students tried to argue that illegal aliens pay their fair share of sales, income and social security taxes. I argued that the illegals, even if they do pay taxes from their jobs (which is a crime to work without a green card and use a false ss number) they do consume more of our taxes in using schools, medical, incarceration, day laborer centers, housing and food assistance and other expenses.

Tourists are much better than illegal aliens I argued as they pay sales, hotel, airport and other taxes while spending their money in our economy. But best of all the tourists go home and don't use our schools, medical, housing, energy, food and other taxpayer subsidies! What are they teaching our young adults in college these days??
