It is sad to see a representative of our government supporting such hateful things. To have this type of argument in this country is very unfortunate. As with many others, I grew up being taught that the United States was a land of freedom composed of immigrants. It is referred to as the great melting pot, but this reference is being eroded by a fanatical movement to remove immigrants, though here illegally, that are working and truly want to be a part of this free land.
In my opinion this issue is a the culmination of a gathered selfishness. Ironically though, it is this same selfishness that has provided the door to these "illegal" immigrants. For these people that are rallying around the "deport now" slogans and the "build the wall" message, how has this cheap labor affected their ability to buy things? All companies go for the lowest bid. These anti-"illegals" are delusional if they think they have not had extended buying power from the "illegal" immigrants' labor.
Jobs will not free up when and if these "illegal" immigrants are driven out of the country. It is already happening that companies are sending their factories to other countries. Just look at where your shoes, shirts, jackets, televisions, and even the computer you may be reading this on are made. Where is the website telling me how to buy US made products? What happened to Wal-marts "Made In America" kick. It's gone. Gone because Americans are selfish. They want to buy, buy, buy, but they don't want to have to look at the people who toil for there luxury. This has always been the case and will continue to be.
Metcalfe is as selfish as any of these people. Just read his speech. "I came up with this" and "I created that." Why not give others credit Daryl? Will it not lead to reelection? Is it hard to get out of your own skin and think of what others may be feeling?
We've been cruel long enough. Let's start to show some compassion. For those that like to call this an "invasion" by "illegal" immigrants let me tell you of an invasion that the United States is currently involved in. That, of course, is the Iraq war. Now that is the definition of an "invasion." Going in to another country to find a job and to work does not constitute an "invasion." However, when you're a hateful person that doesn't like to look at others who are "different" then you'll call it an "invasion."
Just imagine yourself happy for a moment. Now, in this moment of happiness, what is happening? Are millions of people being sent back to an impoverished country to probably die? Well, I'm sad you feel that way. I guess I always thought it was better to help and get along with others.
Daryl’s speech:
Introduction: I'd like to introduce our first speaker. I'm not from Pennsylvania, but I understand he's a real hero here in this state. He was elected in '98, state representative. He's also the lead sponsor for National Security Begins At Home. He's also the founder of the State Legislature for Legal Immigration. There are 32 states signed up right now, with different legislatures, 32. So I hope you give a really nice welcome for representative Daryl Metcalfe. (applause)
Daryl Metcalfe: Good afternoon. State Representative Daryl Metcalfe. I'm from Luzerne Pennsylvania - Butler country in western Pennsylvania. Made the drive here today on labor day weekend, about 4 hour drive across the state to come here because this is one of the most important issues facing our nation. (applause)
Thank you all for being here it's good to see Americans out here that are willing to stand up for their rights as American citizens and to stand up for protecting our great nation. It was very appropriate to lead off with our pledge to allegiance, because the allegiance to our nation has been lacking in Washington D.C. (applause) Our federal government, for decades, has been awal in fulfilling their constitutional responsibility to protect the state against invasion which is a clearly defined constitutional role of the federal government. They have been so negligent, so irresponsible, in their lack of doing their duty that it is time, it is well past time for state legislators to pull together and call upon our federal government to do what it was that they were founded to do - and that's protect our nation. (applause)
My first experience with illegal aliens was as a young eighteen year old soldier stationed in Fort Bliss, Texas in El Paso, Texas. When I first went to Texas going there from upstate New York where I grew up, was my first encounter, one of my fellow soldiers was a American born Mexican-American and had relatives that were still in Mexico and even at that time he shared with me his problems and his concern about illegal aliens that were coming into our nation at that time. Well then it seemed like a border state problem - it seemed like a southern border state problem, but here we are, that was back in 1981, that I was in El Paso. Here we are twenty-six years later and it's no longer just a southern border state problem. This is a national problem. This is an illegal alien invasion. This is occurring on the soil of America. If we do not, if we do not stop the invasion it will be the end of America as it's been known. (that's right. we got to win this thing. You got that right.) (applause)
I am state representative here in the state of Pennsylvania and I'm joined with several of my colleagues. state representative Tom Creighton, state representative Scott Perry, state representative Mark Mustio and a couple of other co-sponsors. And we have introduced this session a package of legislation that we've entitled National Security Begins at Home. The rule of law is of the utmost importance to Americans. It is not appropriate for anyone to try and come into our nation and ignore our law to get here. (someone says "true" then there's laughing and applause) You'll here from a speaker today that represents a group of individuals who have been severely impacted by those horrific attacks on 9-11 that took so many American lives. How quickly our politicians in Washington D.C. and across this country forget that it is time to battle this war on terror. And the only way to end the war on terror, on our soil, is to make sure we have secure borders. ("that's right) That's why we entitled our package of legislation in Pennsylvania "National Security Begins At Home." Our package of legislation would go after employers who are hiring illegals. It would go after public benefits that illegals are able to tap into. It would ensure that our law enforcement is able to enforce immigration law in Pennsylvania in conjunction with working with ICE. ("Amen." applause)
A lot of talking heads around the country have tried to make the argument that we shouldn't address the illegal alien invasion with those that are already in our borders because it's impossible to round up millions of people and deport them. Well I say you don't have to round 'em up if you shut off the economic faucet. You shut off the jobs, you shut off the benefits they'll go home on their own. (applause "that's the easy way to do it.")
After working on this legislation last session and holding hearings across the great state of Pennsylvania with many of my colleagues in Republican Policy Committee and finding out more information like we found out from Attorney General Corbett's office that we are spending millions of dollars a year in Pennsylvania, as Pennsylvania tax payers incarcerating illegal aliens who are committing crimes and we are not being reimbursed that money by the federal government who has allowed those illegals to come here. (applause) We are spending hundreds of millions of dollars in Pennsylvania as Pennsylvania tax payers on educational benefits, on health care benefits that are being delivered to illegal aliens that do not belong here. We are having crimes committed across this state from the black tar heroin ring that was busted out in Allegany, Beaver country this year, to the murders in Altoona to a recent capture of an illegal alien who stabbed a police officer in New York and fled to Pennsylvania, to the illegal aliens who are training to attack our soldiers at Fort Dix, right here training in Pennsylvania. It is time to bring this to an end. (That's right. applause)
And after looking at the information that we gleamed from those committee hearing, and after working on our own package her in Pennsylvania and seeing how the federal government has tied the hands of states and local governments. Local governments like Hazleton and the mayor of Hazleton who's battling illegal, illegal alien invasion there in his home town trying to ensure that we put an end to this - at least in his community. Well we've watched and seen how the feds have tied our hands and passed (holds and up with quotes) immigration law. We need congress to work with us and that's when I came up with the idea of working with my staff and working with colleagues that we need to move forward with a national effort. And that national effort that I founded earlier this year, that I started working on last year is called State Legislatures For Legal Immigration - State Legislatures For Legal Immigration.com. We currently have thirty-one states represented in that coalition and we are working to build it out to fifty because every person that's in office that raises their hand and swears to uphold and defend the constitutions of our great country and our states individually and respectively. Every individual in office has an oath to defend that constitution and needs to be with us to put pressure on congress.
Our mission as State Legislatures For Legal Immigration is to push and force and call upon the federal government to work with those of us that serve at the state level that work with our local communities to secure the borders to shut off the economic faucets of illegal jobs and illegal benefits illegals are tapping into and to once again secure our great nation and protect American lives and property. (applause)
The sign up front that says "Stop The Invasion" - that's the word that I've been using to describe the activity that's occurring in this nation and has been occurring. This is an invasion. You cannot call hundreds of thousands of people coming across your border every year anything less than an invasion.
I served on foreign soil to secure a foreign border while I served in the United States Army as a soldier. (applause) There is no excuse when we have secured the borders of Korea and Germany and Kuwait and other nations around this world - there's no excuse why our border has been left unattended. ("that's right" applause "negligence!")
That's the reason I use the word awal - absent without leave - for describing the activity of a congress and a president - not just this president, but every president over the last several decades that has failed to secure our borders is partially responsible for what's going on. Whether they're republican or democrat they're responsible. It is time to be accountable and be responsible and protect the citizens of this nation.
Everyone have a great labor day and we'll continue the fight and we need your help to do it. (applause)

Michael Huff - Voice of the People Rally - Harrisburg, PA
Though I may not agree with the wars Michael was asked to fight in, including Desert Storm, which is true for many Americans, I do commend the fact that he gave his life to protecting this country. Though he is still with us, all military personnel are freely accepting that they may not make it back alive when they are sent to duty.
It was interesting to hear that the deaths of the soldier's he mentioned were due to some dirt bag piece of trash in some foreign country because as we all know, especially from the highly publicized death of Pat Tillman, that many soldiers die from friendly fire and accidents.
I also have to add that I support my troops by not supporting war. I do not support the Iraq war nor did I support Desert Storm which was simply a reaction of the US to their putting Saddam into power and then realizing he was going to actually use it. Though I do think we need a military and I appreciate every last one that serves, I would certainly like to see them alive and well here in the US and not in another country fighting for the president rather than for the people.
Introduction:
Would you give a warm welcome to retired Lt. Colonel Michael Huff who's done security up here.
Michael Huff's Speech:
Marine corps. (applause)
One of the reasons I just wanted to have a short moment to say something. I'm not a speaker. As most of our military know we don't dictate the law we just follow our orders. But if you walk around this great city - and I was really quite shocked, and my friend Frank George, who I came here with, and I'm a proud member of the minutemen with him, we were looking at the pictures on these posters of all these military personnel and Franks taking a picture going look at these guys it's really great. And I said wait a minute why do you think there's two dates on their? A date they were brought into this world by our mother and father - there mother especially - and the other date is the day they were killed by some dirt bag piece of trash in some foreign country.
The only reason I say that is in the twenty years of serving my country, the last three were Desert Storm, and when you live with the nightmares of the individuals you've had to take whether they be men, women, or children you come back with a different attitude and a different view and there is no changing that. We have young individuals of twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two years of age that aren't coming back, but the ones who are left to come back aren't the same. They need our help, they need our support. They need the understanding that there's no question or need that they should ever have to ask or want that we don't give freely. Unfortunately our government and our politics dictates an issue at hand that, well you did what you did - see you later. And I know for a fact because I'm living with some issues from Desert Storm and that's alright, that's not a problem. I'm back here and I can walk and talk.

John Clark - Voice of the People Rally - Harrisburg, PA
John Clark's speech, though not full of violence or hate speech, is actually a rather disturbing one. What is disturbing about it (besides the fact that he's very noticeably chewing gum through the whole thing) is that he seems to have no problem making things up as he goes. He just makes a bunch of generic statement that sometimes don't even make sense.
Now the reason they put twenty-three lawyers against the town of Hazleton was because if the town lost the town would have to pay for those twenty-three lawyers. - Ok, this means the town really doesn't think they have a case?
Cities are going bankrupt, hospitals are going bankrupt because of the illegal invasion. This has nothing to do with immigration. - What? Every "illegal" immigrant is an "invader." Aliens and invaders. Is this a sci-fi movie?
Then he says My wife is a legal immigrant from Venezuela. Well what does that have to do with this issue? It's not an immigration issue right? He doesn't care about all the other Hispanics just because he married a woman from Venezuela. Being friends with, or married to a particular person does not mean you care about others of their race or culture or even their family. Most people don't even get along with their in laws let alone the entirety of their cultural background.
I also find it odd that he left California assumably because he couldn't combat the rise of Hispanics there. But isn't staying where you were born to do something about your own territory (see We fought our revolution, go home and fight yours) what these anti-immigrants like to chant? Why didn't John stay there and fight the problem?
And what is the deal with the threat on Jesse Peterson's life. Why is there no information about this anywhere online? I don't even see anything Jesse has written about it. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
He states "if you speak the truth you'll be threatened."
John's Speech:
Flag's up here up front.
(Say the pledge)
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
(man holding VOPUSA sign "Where's the Fence - Close the Border in 90 Days"
does sign of the cross)
Jessie Peterson has been a friend of mine for over thirteen years. I've never seen him afraid before like he is now. His life is in danger. He's had death threats. He can't even walk to an airport. He has to have a security guard, a body guard with him at all times, because he speaks the truth.
Jesse and I stared with the immigration issue thirteen years ago. Then he started BOND, building a new destiny for black youths. Like I said, I've never seen him scared like this, but this is what's happening in this country. If you speak the truth you're going to be threatened or you're going to be put out of business. Like Mayor Barletta.
Now the A-a-a (unable to get it out) - (Audience helps - "ACLU") There's so many of those acronyms (audience member - "four letter words") Yeah, four letter words. They want 2.3 million dollars from the town of Hazleton. Now the reason they put twenty-three lawyers against the town of Hazleton was because if the town lost the town would have to pay for those twenty-three lawyers. This is what they've done all over the country. Any city that tries to have the laws enforced they get them struck down or they get them scared that they're going to be faced with a lawsuit. I think everybody knows who I'm talking about.
This has to cease because it's happening all over the country. Cities are going bankrupt, hospitals are going bankrupt because of the illegal invasion. This has nothing to do with immigration. AIC supports legal immigration. Illegal immigration is against the law. If they can break the law why can't we? (applause) It's rewarding illegal behavior. It's sending a message to our young kids "Hey, it's ok to break the law and be rewarded."
Giving citizenship to an illegal alien's child that breaks the law - comes across the border - is like giving a bank robber (pause ) money. Like this Elvira - she's concerned, so concerned about her childe, about her son yet he's still here in this country and she's in Mexico (audience "that's right" - "that's where she should stay.") Every one of these illegals should be rounded up and deported - every single one of 'em. (applause - "yeah!" - "no North American union!") I'd like to say we are for legal immigration. My wife is a legal immigrant from Venezuela. She get very upset when she hears the term "illegal immigrant." They are not immigrants. The correct term is illegal alien, now they are called invaders because that's exactly what they are. (applause) Immigrants, immigrants that made this country great came here and wanted to become an American citizen. They couldn't wait to learn the English language, but now they come here with a fist, clenched fist and a hand out. They don't go back because you the taxpayers are supporting them. The open borders crowd is making a lot of money off of this, being funded by these left wing foundations. (I can see he's chewing gum. Most great speakers do this.) This has to stop we have to get it under control, we have to stop these employers - EVS is the only way we're going to get it and already - they've already failed a lawsuit to stop these cities from enforcing employer verification system. They will self deport themselves.
Dwight David Eisenhower rounded up one million illegals - deported 'em because he wanted American citizens to have jobs. We can do the same thing. (applause) And the nonsense about twelve million illegals, we've been hearing this for about ten years. It's closer to thirty-million illegals. (boo from audience) Thirty-million illegals in this country and they have no allegiance to this country. Forces acting upon illegal immigration - the cheap labor, the banks, the Catholic church, Catholic charities. The FLCIO sponsors illegal aliens. Catholic charities receives a billion and a half dollars annually from federal and state taxes for refugee resettlement. (boo from audience) I'm originally from California with proposition 187. We started proposition 187 to cut off benefits to illegal aliens. I couldn't figure out why the teachers and the doctors were against this until I found out how much money they were making for bilingual education. In the magic kingdon card illegals get free medical. My wife can't get free medical. (boos from audience) Our citizens can't get free medical, our veterans are sleeping under freeways in California. I’ve seen 'em. (audience "that's a crime.") Hospitals in California are going bankrupt. But I just hope that you get involved because you have to
do it. The federal government is not going to do it. All of this is a dog and pony show rounding up these illegals right now. They're trying to get the employers so upset they're going to put more pressure on 'em and say look how much a head of lettuce is now. This has nothing to do with lettuce, it's jobs all through our economy.
(Audience "Build the wall." and then a lady says "We can grow lettuce.")

Mariann Davies - Voice of the People Rally - Harrisburg, PA
Mariann Davies is with the group You Don't Speak For Me. Their name is very ironic in my opinion, but at least they realize that they also don't "speak for me."
Thankfully she did not get into the hate speech and insinuations that all "illegal" immigrants are murderers like her colleagues from New Jersey did. (Carmen Morales and Miguel Cruz.) However, she is very obviously upset. So much so that she couldn't remember if it was her father or her grandfather that immigrated here. After telling us it was her father she simply regressed into the common chant "this is not our grandfather's and father's" America. Maybe she doesn't understand what was happening in our grandfather's America, but many minorities of that time surely have a few stories.
Why do these groups continue intimating at this country's past as if it was all bubble-gum and parades? Have they forgotten about the extreme racism that held this country throughout the majority of the last century? Or is it just a convenient chant to make people feel that we've lost them good ol' days. You know, the days when it was legal to lynch someone and colored people were segregated from whites.
Just because Mariann's group is made up of Hispanics does not mean they are not prejudice and/or racist. Intercultural racism and prejudice is very much prevalent throughout the world. This is currently very apparent in Rwanda.
While Mariann stresses about how to pay for college for her four children (her choice to have that many) others throughout the world are trying to figure out where their next meal will come from. There are currently 143 million orphans in the world. Why not adopt? Either way I'd rather be trying to figure out how to pay for college then how I'm going to pay for my next meal.
Lastly, it is very disturbing to me that Mariann would stand before a considerable amount of skinheads and white supremacists and give her speech. This is far more ironic than the name of her group. If she has no problem speaking against La Raza why wouldn't she speak against those skinheads at the rally? link
Mariann Davies:
I'm not sure if you can see me over this. (laughing - she is just slightly taller than the podium) but thank you everyone for coming. Thank you to all the Pennsylvanians that are here.
I just want to tell you a little bit for those of you that don't know our organization - I'm also standing with two of our other founding members, Carmen Morales and Joe Perez from New Jersey. I live in beautiful Bucks County Pennsylvania and I'm a proud citizen of this commonwealth.
My family, my parents were legal immigrants from Quito, Ecuador. They - my father came here over fifty years ago. He became a proud naturalized citizen. He served this country in Korea during the Korean war - proudly. My parents did everything the right way. We expect everyone to follow the rules no matter where they come from. It is unfair when there is 3 million applications for people to become naturalized citizens or are trying to bring their family members abroad, from abroad legally and have to wait sometimes a decade to get paperwork done. And we have an open door to the south. We have millions of people here who have cheated. To my children I say how fare is that? We tell our children you have to stand in line, you have to wait your turn, but on the other hand, in our country, that's not the case. If you cheat you prosper. And those of us who are following the rules or come from families who've played by the rules. This is not my grandfather's or my father's America any more either.
Like all Americans we are all so very proud of our ancestral heritage. In our private lives we cherish many of the customs and traditions that our ancestors brought to this country, but we affirm our status as citizens of the US in our civic lives. We are first and foremost Americans. (applause) We embrace the principles of our nation and the rule of law which are set forth in our constitution and we reject all attempts to divide this nation along ethnic, racial, or religious lines. (applause) And to those of you here who are with La Raza our group came together because when sat there and we watched millions of illegal aliens and their supporters - the profiteers of illegal immigration - the businesses, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the National Lawyers Guild, the SCIU, the Service Employees International Union, the ACLU, Answer LA, and communist and socialist organizations supporting those who break our laws. Having these marches in the cities of our streets, excuse me, in the streets of our cities, we were highly offended. Not only because they purported to speak for all Hispanics and making everybody think, including you that we all think that way. We came together to say "No mas." (applause)
You Don't Speak For Me supports an immigration policy that requires everyone to respect the laws of this nation that protects the legitimate interests of the American people. That embraces newcomers of all backgrounds who obey our laws. Who contribute to the common good and endeavor to become a part of the fabric of American society. We are all from different immigrant backgrounds we may have been here generations, but what unites us is our language, the respect for the laws and customs and norms of this great nation and assimilation.
We believe these views are shared by the vast majority of Americans including those of Hispanic heritage. Any individual or organization that does not espouse these core values does not speak for us.
Again, I'm here as an American. I am also a proud spouse of a Union Member, a mother of four children, a daughter of legal naturalized citizens and a proud citizen of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I also want to encourage all of you to get on the phones next week and call your local state representatives, your local state senators and demand, not ask, not insist - we're way past that - demand that they get Daryl Metcalve's legislation out of committee, on to the floor for a vote. I do not want to stand in front of a podium a month from now, two months from now calling to an end for sanctuary policies in Pennsylvania because of some tragedy. I don't want us to wait until something horrible happens like what happened in New Jersey. We have already had enough of our citizens in this, in this state and even in my county being victimized by criminal illegal aliens who have been deported before - who have had many encounters with local law enforcement and there's no cooperation or a cohesive policy with local law enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security. I do not want to become another sanctuary state, I am done with that, I don't want to be like New Jersey. I want Governer Rendell to take this issue seriously. He's being silent on the matter because he thinks Pennsylvanians don't care. I don't want to wait any longer. We need to stop the sanctuary state, sanctuary policies, we need to be proactive in Pennsylvania, not reactive. Not one more victim.
And with that I just want to keep it short. Thank you all for coming. Make sure you get on the phones.
The last thing I want to say was mentioned briefly, the Dream Act. Those of you that don't know - might not know what that is. Right now they're trying to pass amnesty piecemeal. The Dream Act for me is something in particular that hits home. We have four children and we are trying to figure out how we are going to afford for them to go to college. And apparently all of us have been contributing tax dollars that the illegal alien lobby wants us to contribute to subsidize college tuition for illegal alien students that are here right now. (applause and booing) To make matters worse, not only are they demanding that we subsidize in state college tuition and benefits to any public college and university in this country for illegal aliens, but they also want those illegal alien students to become citizens when they graduate. I have a problem with that. First of all, it puts an illegal alien student - and I know many of them may have come her as children not through there own will, but the bottom line, just like financial aid - we're rewarding their families for crossing the border illegally. And we're going to give them college tuition? That puts an illegal alien college student under the dream act in a better position than any US citizen college student in any of the other 49 states. It also is incredibly fundamentally unfair to all of the hundreds of thousand of foreign students who come here under student visas. They often have to show money in the bank before they come across - before they come to the United States to pay for their tuition. They're not allowed to tap into any public or federal financial aid or state loans or governments or grants and they certainly do not - are not automatically entitled to citizenship. When their student visa runs out they have to go home and then they can reapply to be a citizen. So basically again the Dream Act would put an illegal alien student not only in a better position than ever US citizen college student, but even those that come from abroad and play by the rules. We have to stop the Dream Act. It's on the floor right now. Call your federal legislators.
And with that, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for having us. Enjoy your labor day weekend.
God bless America. (applause)
Thankfully she did not get into the hate speech and insinuations that all "illegal" immigrants are murderers like her colleagues from New Jersey did. (Carmen Morales and Miguel Cruz.) However, she is very obviously upset. So much so that she couldn't remember if it was her father or her grandfather that immigrated here. After telling us it was her father she simply regressed into the common chant "this is not our grandfather's and father's" America. Maybe she doesn't understand what was happening in our grandfather's America, but many minorities of that time surely have a few stories.
Why do these groups continue intimating at this country's past as if it was all bubble-gum and parades? Have they forgotten about the extreme racism that held this country throughout the majority of the last century? Or is it just a convenient chant to make people feel that we've lost them good ol' days. You know, the days when it was legal to lynch someone and colored people were segregated from whites.
Just because Mariann's group is made up of Hispanics does not mean they are not prejudice and/or racist. Intercultural racism and prejudice is very much prevalent throughout the world. This is currently very apparent in Rwanda.
While Mariann stresses about how to pay for college for her four children (her choice to have that many) others throughout the world are trying to figure out where their next meal will come from. There are currently 143 million orphans in the world. Why not adopt? Either way I'd rather be trying to figure out how to pay for college then how I'm going to pay for my next meal.
Lastly, it is very disturbing to me that Mariann would stand before a considerable amount of skinheads and white supremacists and give her speech. This is far more ironic than the name of her group. If she has no problem speaking against La Raza why wouldn't she speak against those skinheads at the rally? link
Mariann Davies:
I'm not sure if you can see me over this. (laughing - she is just slightly taller than the podium) but thank you everyone for coming. Thank you to all the Pennsylvanians that are here.
I just want to tell you a little bit for those of you that don't know our organization - I'm also standing with two of our other founding members, Carmen Morales and Joe Perez from New Jersey. I live in beautiful Bucks County Pennsylvania and I'm a proud citizen of this commonwealth.
My family, my parents were legal immigrants from Quito, Ecuador. They - my father came here over fifty years ago. He became a proud naturalized citizen. He served this country in Korea during the Korean war - proudly. My parents did everything the right way. We expect everyone to follow the rules no matter where they come from. It is unfair when there is 3 million applications for people to become naturalized citizens or are trying to bring their family members abroad, from abroad legally and have to wait sometimes a decade to get paperwork done. And we have an open door to the south. We have millions of people here who have cheated. To my children I say how fare is that? We tell our children you have to stand in line, you have to wait your turn, but on the other hand, in our country, that's not the case. If you cheat you prosper. And those of us who are following the rules or come from families who've played by the rules. This is not my grandfather's or my father's America any more either.
Like all Americans we are all so very proud of our ancestral heritage. In our private lives we cherish many of the customs and traditions that our ancestors brought to this country, but we affirm our status as citizens of the US in our civic lives. We are first and foremost Americans. (applause) We embrace the principles of our nation and the rule of law which are set forth in our constitution and we reject all attempts to divide this nation along ethnic, racial, or religious lines. (applause) And to those of you here who are with La Raza our group came together because when sat there and we watched millions of illegal aliens and their supporters - the profiteers of illegal immigration - the businesses, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the National Lawyers Guild, the SCIU, the Service Employees International Union, the ACLU, Answer LA, and communist and socialist organizations supporting those who break our laws.

Frank Jorge - Voice of the People Rally - Harrisburg, PA
This turned out to be one of the scariest and most violent speeches I have come across thus far. Frank Jorge not only calls for a violent revolution and civil war, but also promotes the assassination of our politicians. He obviously has no regard for human life whatsoever if he can so freely speak of taking it.
Frank's use of the word "power" when describing the bullet flying through a politician's car window just goes to show what he thinks power is. He feels that power gained by owning weapons. Isn't that how gangs think Frank. Some of us like to think they power is gained by knowledge and learning. Please explain to me what peaceful revolution we have tried to wage as a nation. Why not try to get people together through civility rather than create factions by calling for civil war.
Before I get to the speech I have a couple more Durant quotes for Frank:
Frank's speech:
Introduction: Representing Latino Americans For Immigration Reform - Lupe Moreno. I don't know how many of you know Lupe. He's also the chairman for Antelope Valley Minutemen. Please welcome Frank Jorge.
Frank Jorge: Well thank you everybody and good afternoon. I bring you greetings from illegal alien occupied California where you can savor the third world countries just by walking down the street. I do know that we have opposition here today. I like that - you know - you can't have a good ice cream sundae without some chocolate or something on it and they really spice things up for me.
One thing I would like to share with those folks, some of which I think have intermingled with you is that I was originally born in Cuba. I have family there and on their behalf I wish to communicate to all you communists that communism sucks. --- freedom. You can't get toothpaste and their is no Lidocaine or Novocaine when you go to the dentist. My cousin is a dentist and she let me know all of these things.
You know a few weeks ago I was watching a movie by Mel Gibson called Apocalypto. None of it is in English. Sort of like in Los Angeles, California. ---- either. And one of the things that struck me was a quote that he put right there in front of the movie as it began. It's a quote by American author William Durant and it goes like this "No great civilization is conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within"
I will share with you, quite bluntly, what my feelings are on what has happened in the United States of America because this is not the country that I immigrated to legally in 1957 before Castro took over. I do not think that we are losing America ladies and gentlemen I think that we have lost it and that if anything we must be all means necessary take it back.
It is not lost on me that we're next to Philadelphia and supposedly Rocky Balboa is living someplace up there, but who the hell needs Rocky when you've got the sandwich guy right here. Now that's a real Italian stallion. Thank you Joey. Now you wonder who it is that we have lost the United States to. We have really lost it to the multi-national corporations, we have lost it to the Republican party, which has been purchased like a cheap trinket by the multi-national corporations and the Democratic party. You don't really have anybody representing you anymore. Let's face it, look, the last amnesty was declared in 1986 in one of the most idiotic moves Ronald Reagan ever made. God bless him for the good things he'd done, but Ronald that was really stupid. Even I was shaking my head and saying "my God this is something that I am going to have to confront." Well here we are twenty-one years later and what are they doing, they're trying to propose another amnesty because they know no other way in which to serve their masters, the multi-national corporations and the elitist that really run this government.
Let there be known now, we are part of the formula of what runs this nation and what runs this government, but it appears that we are negligent in their point of view. Because even right now, after that idiot of a president said "see you at the signing", you know what I'm talking about then - that hideous bill that he wanted to promote. I hear that just a few days ago he signed papers so that the Mexican trucks can roll across the border. And this is who you have representing you as a nation - and the gentleman asked a very question "why hasn't he been impeached." Because everybody else has been bought out obviously. That's why. In the 1950's this would not have played itself out more than a day. In the 1960's I don't think it would have either. Today in 2007 it is quite common to hear someone as mentally and verbally challenged as George Bush say things like "see you at the signing" because he could give a flying you know what's about what you and I think about the future of this nation. If this president will be known for anything, it will be for presiding over an American holocaust. 9,000 Americans killed a year by illegal aliens is not a laughing matter and I wish that I could get into the oval office with that dick of a president and let him know what I think.
The fact is that revolution and civil war are not unknown to the American people. Revolution occurs when the people overthrow it's government or it's ruler and no longer desire to be governed by such. We are already in that process whether you acknowledge it or not. In 2005 when men and women, including myself, I am a man by the way, went to the borders in Arizona that was the beginning of a revolution, it was a way of telling government "we have had enough." Incrementally government ratchets it up. Incrementally so do we. That is why we are here today. That is why rallies like this are occurring all over the United States of America. A civil war occurs when you can't take it anymore and the bullets begin flying.
Let me share with you what I think may happen in these United States of America because I am convinced that if something does not change we will dive headlong into a civil war. I have heard this all the way from Alabama to Texas to California. Grandmother's have told me "hey, I'm locked and loaded I'm ready baby, let's go." (audience applauds and laughs - I guess war is funny to them.) We do not know how the violent phase of this process will begin. Conceivably, maybe one of those that have had one of theirs killed by an illegal alien will utilize their second amendment rights to take out the killer and in addition take out a politician that made it possible for it to occur.
Politicians will respect you. Politicians will acknowledge your power when they see a round flying through their windshield and getting into their flesh. That will get their attention. I'm not advocating violence; it is already here and you have to acknowledge that. 9,000 Americans killed a year by, what? people that are not supposed to be here - a government that is playing games. That doesn't cut it for me ladies and gentlemen. I can only be moved so far back. We are already painted into a corner and we have no place to go. We are already second class citizens. I want to remind the federal government of America a quote by John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and I never have been a Kennedy fan. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable. This is your country. Take it back. Thank you.
Frank's use of the word "power" when describing the bullet flying through a politician's car window just goes to show what he thinks power is. He feels that power gained by owning weapons. Isn't that how gangs think Frank. Some of us like to think they power is gained by knowledge and learning. Please explain to me what peaceful revolution we have tried to wage as a nation. Why not try to get people together through civility rather than create factions by calling for civil war.
Before I get to the speech I have a couple more Durant quotes for Frank:
Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years.
From Durant's Declaration of Interdependence
Human progress having reached a high level through respect for the liberty and dignity of men, it has become desirable to re-affirm these evident truths:That differences of race, color, and creed are natural, and that diverse groups, institutions, and ideas are stimulating factors in the development of man [humankind]; That to promote harmony in diversity is a responsible task of religion and statesmanship; That since no individual can express the whole truth, it is essential to treat with understanding and good will those whose views differ from our own; That by the testimony of history intolerance is the door to violence, brutality and dictatorship; and That the realization of human interdependence and solidarity is the best guard of civilization.
Therefore, we solemnly resolve, and invite everyone to join in united action.To uphold and promote human fellowship through mutual consideration and respect; To champion human dignity and decency, and to safeguard these without distinction of race, or color, or creed; To strive in concert with others to discourage all animosities arising from these differences, and to unite all groups in the fair play of civilized life.
ROOTED in freedom, bonded in the fellowship of danger, sharing every-where a common human blood, we declare again that all men are brothers, and that mutual tolerance is the price of liberty.
Frank's speech:

Robert Goldsborough - Voice of the People - Harrisburg, PA
I do need to go over this one more time, but here is Robert Goldsborough's speech from the Harrisburg rally.
Introduction:The next person we're going to introduce has been working in Washington DC most of his life. Forty years ago he was fighting communism. He still is. He's a great patriot. He's also the president of the largest grassroots organization in the United States with over 230,000 members. I've known Mr. Goldsborough for many years. That's why I do films for AIC because they are dedicated. So can I please have a round of applause for Mr. Robert Goldsborough.
Robert:Thank you fellow Americans and thank you John Clark for all the work that you've done on this. Thank all of you for coming out here on labor day weekend because we have to stand for the laborists of America. Those who are citizens. And one thing that we have seen in all the deaths that have occur ed since 9/11 due to illegal aliens. Tens of thousands tragic beyond belief. We also have American workers being put out of work or their wages lowered because of illegal immigrants - because of illegal aliens. I'm sorry John. I corrected (laughing from the audience) Illegal aliens have taken their jobs. (clapping)
And yet this seems to fail to move our congressmen in Washington. Both parties are guilty of it. One party wants cheap labor and the other party wants cheap votes. And so they don't care if they sacrifice the American worker, our sovereignty, or security, our safety. It matters not to them. And we have, coming up, an election in 2008 which I think is probably one of the most important ones we've ever had. And we have a number of candidates and we need to know which candidates are there for the good of the country. Not just for their own narcissistic greed and power hungry. We have to judge what they're really for. Are they saying things just to lie to every group they speak to? Or are the sincere about the safety and security of the future of this country. We need law makers who don't reward law breakers. (applaus) We've had enough of that.
We've had this administration and the previous couple of administrations, we've had both parties wanting to give amnesty and citizenship to millions of illegal aliens and they don't care what happens to our security, our safety, or the jobs of America. We don't - it's been a great country - a magnificent country, the greatest country on the face of the Earth. (applause) We don't need to keep exporting jobs and importing illegal alien workers.
I wanted to say one thing that maybe some of you have heard about, which I think shows us what has happened over the past couple of years of trying to pass amnesty legislation. Citizenship for illegal aliens. And it is something which happened in Europe back in 1948. And it was called pressure from below pressure from above. And a member of the Czechoslovak Communist Party Central Committee, Yan Kozak, developed this technique because Czechoslovakia which a few years earlier had won its freedom from Nazi Germany and all the oppression that went with the Nazi's. They were free for a few years and they had the most successful democratic government in central Europe. Jan Kozak, member of the communist party of Czechoslovakia devised the technique of pressure from above and pressure from below. Using the members of parliament who were communist and then also using the masses to organize them to publicize, brainwash, mobilize, activate them. And they succeeded. They succeeded in taking over Czechoslovakia and turning a free democratic republic into a one state totalitarian slave state. We have to stop and think did something like that occur over the past couple of years? Did we have members in congress who were trying to pass legislation which would suppress America and turn it over to an army, an invasion of illegal aliens? Did we have...did we have the numbers of Hispanics and other who marches, millions and millions who marched in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Chicago, Denver, elsewhere? Did this happen automatically? Did they come together spontaneously? No, as Will Jasper explained last may in an article in The New American the Marxists spent over ten years organizing. Organizing the Hispanics, the Latinos, the illegals and who paid for most of them? (Audience: "We did.") The Ford Foundation.
One of the things that I think we have to do besides keeping up the momentum of winning the fight. We won the fight in May and June and we stopped it. That was not the war. The war continues. We already have part of that amnesty, pardon me, immigration reform legislation as a man in the White House calls it, rewarding illegal aliens. We already have part of that being introduced to the Senate called The Dream Act and it will allow illegal aliens who have gone to High School in the United States, or served in the United States (?), to get a free college education. (Boos from the audience) This is being introduced when the Senate reconvenes next week. So we won the battle in May and June because the people were alerted. We won't succumb to pressure from below and pressure from above. We have to keep fighting. And I would like to just share with you briefly a few comments that I learned from reading about George Washington. He sent a letter to the c--, Washington in June 12, 1776. I like to share with you what he said:

Introduction:The next person we're going to introduce has been working in Washington DC most of his life. Forty years ago he was fighting communism. He still is. He's a great patriot. He's also the president of the largest grassroots organization in the United States with over 230,000 members. I've known Mr. Goldsborough for many years. That's why I do films for AIC because they are dedicated. So can I please have a round of applause for Mr. Robert Goldsborough.
Robert:Thank you fellow Americans and thank you John Clark for all the work that you've done on this. Thank all of you for coming out here on labor day weekend because we have to stand for the laborists of America. Those who are citizens. And one thing that we have seen in all the deaths that have occur ed since 9/11 due to illegal aliens. Tens of thousands tragic beyond belief. We also have American workers being put out of work or their wages lowered because of illegal immigrants - because of illegal aliens. I'm sorry John. I corrected (laughing from the audience) Illegal aliens have taken their jobs. (clapping)
And yet this seems to fail to move our congressmen in Washington. Both parties are guilty of it. One party wants cheap labor and the other party wants cheap votes. And so they don't care if they sacrifice the American worker, our sovereignty, or security, our safety. It matters not to them. And we have, coming up, an election in 2008 which I think is probably one of the most important ones we've ever had. And we have a number of candidates and we need to know which candidates are there for the good of the country. Not just for their own narcissistic greed and power hungry. We have to judge what they're really for. Are they saying things just to lie to every group they speak to? Or are the sincere about the safety and security of the future of this country. We need law makers who don't reward law breakers. (applaus) We've had enough of that.
We've had this administration and the previous couple of administrations, we've had both parties wanting to give amnesty and citizenship to millions of illegal aliens and they don't care what happens to our security, our safety, or the jobs of America. We don't - it's been a great country - a magnificent country, the greatest country on the face of the Earth. (applause) We don't need to keep exporting jobs and importing illegal alien workers.
I wanted to say one thing that maybe some of you have heard about, which I think shows us what has happened over the past couple of years of trying to pass amnesty legislation. Citizenship for illegal aliens. And it is something which happened in Europe back in 1948. And it was called pressure from below pressure from above. And a member of the Czechoslovak Communist Party Central Committee, Yan Kozak, developed this technique because Czechoslovakia which a few years earlier had won its freedom from Nazi Germany and all the oppression that went with the Nazi's. They were free for a few years and they had the most successful democratic government in central Europe. Jan Kozak, member of the communist party of Czechoslovakia devised the technique of pressure from above and pressure from below. Using the members of parliament who were communist and then also using the masses to organize them to publicize, brainwash, mobilize, activate them. And they succeeded. They succeeded in taking over Czechoslovakia and turning a free democratic republic into a one state totalitarian slave state. We have to stop and think did something like that occur over the past couple of years? Did we have members in congress who were trying to pass legislation which would suppress America and turn it over to an army, an invasion of illegal aliens? Did we have...did we have the numbers of Hispanics and other who marches, millions and millions who marched in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Chicago, Denver, elsewhere? Did this happen automatically? Did they come together spontaneously? No, as Will Jasper explained last may in an article in The New American the Marxists spent over ten years organizing. Organizing the Hispanics, the Latinos, the illegals and who paid for most of them? (Audience: "We did.") The Ford Foundation.
One of the things that I think we have to do besides keeping up the momentum of winning the fight. We won the fight in May and June and we stopped it. That was not the war. The war continues. We already have part of that amnesty, pardon me, immigration reform legislation as a man in the White House calls it, rewarding illegal aliens. We already have part of that being introduced to the Senate called The Dream Act and it will allow illegal aliens who have gone to High School in the United States, or served in the United States (?), to get a free college education. (Boos from the audience) This is being introduced when the Senate reconvenes next week. So we won the battle in May and June because the people were alerted. We won't succumb to pressure from below and pressure from above. We have to keep fighting. And I would like to just share with you briefly a few comments that I learned from reading about George Washington. He sent a letter to the c--, Washington in June 12, 1776. I like to share with you what he said:
"Heaven [that] knows how truly I love my country; and that I embarked in this arduous enterprise on the (of) purest motives. But we have overshot our mark; we have grasped at things beyond our reach; it is impossible we should succeed; and I cannot with truth, say that I am sorry for it; because I am far from being sure that we deserve to succeed. Our want of skill, our want of ammunition is short, our want of everything which an army ought to have are all no doubt exceedingly against us, but they are nothing to our want of virtue. There are not - listen to these lines - there are not one hundred men in America that know our true situation. Three-fourths of the congress themselves are ignorant of it. If it be the will of God that America should be independent of Great Britain then this be the season for it, even I and these hopeful men around may not be thought unworthy instruments in his hands. And should we succeed we are heroes and immortalized beyond even those of former times. In this persuasion I resolve to go on, contented to save my country, or die in the last ditch."
Thank you.
