    Two versions of a still-relevant Woody Guthrie song – “Deportees.”

    The first:  Arlo Guthrie and Emmylou Harris:

    The second:  by Joan Baez, now 70, singing it at a concert after she spoke about Arizona’s despicable SB 1070.  I first saw her sing this song before I was 20 years of age; I am now 62.  How long must we continue to sing it?

    I have no sympathy for them at all.  The same thing happened here in GA when the republicans in the state legislature decided to pass a harsh immigration bill and Nathan Deal signed it into law.  The farmers here began screaming about their crops dying in the fields, and the governor came up with the lame-brained scheme of recruiting probationers to replace the undocumented workers.  It didn’t work because most of the probationers walked off the job within a couple hours, and some didn’t last that long.  When the law was passed, the far right crowd was ecstatic.  As usual, the republicans underestimated the implications of passing this law on the agriculture industry–a large part of GA’s economy, and imho, they have to live with it.   Few of them like the higher prices on produce at the present time, and I’m quite sure they’ll be complaining about them very soon.

    In this country it still comes down to dollar bills.  Thanks for this info Sis Seeta.

  • As illegal foreign workers leave, owing
    to the  E-Verify system being used by hundreds of thousands of honest
    business owners, it’s not surprisingly  those jobs are being rapidly
    refilled by low income, blue and white collar unemployed  Americans. Read
    the internet news of reports of lightening raids by ICE, which explains the
    sudden emergence of for ‘hire’ signs, as factories, plants, stores and
    construction are looking for legal job seekers. This is being persistently
    illustrated all throughout America, from the school janitor, roofers,
    manufacturing and across the occupational workforce. President Obama started a
    sound policy of deportations, but with the advisement from his Department of
    Justice attachment, there anti-America worker Liberal doctrines are now being
    observed through their attacks on different states. Currently the Democratic
    left is using an iron gauntlet against states, which will not be trodden down
    by judges and the courts.

    Allowing foreign aliens to squat in this sovereign nation permanently without
    hindrance, is not what our law abiding country believes should happen. Obama’s
    administration has been corrupted by his Liberal czars such as Eric Holder,
    Nancy Pelosi, and Janet Napolitano and very strongly by Sen. Harry Reid, who
    nearly crippled E-Verify some years back. Since the stronger reappearance of
    E-Verify, Reid, and his cynic politicians has tried to weaken its
    influence, with the persistence of special interest lobbyists and radical open
    border organizations.

    We must consider the consequences of not implementing the injection of the Lama
    Smith E-Verify program, the Legal Workforce Act, today and in the future. If
    the American people don’t demand Mandatory E-Verify, millions more people from
    South of our border and by international flights, will take advantage of us.
    The E-Verify program is a simple, an easy operational program that anybody can
    operate from a computer. But there are many lies spewing from those who are
    gaining much profit by the dismantling of this application.  Foreign
    nationals will arrive in droves eating away at our failing educational system,
    health care and every form of Medicaid and welfare assistance. Over 100 billion
    dollars annually are already spent on the 20 million and more already here, but
    this is not a static dollar figure; it is rising constantly? Ask the officials
    in Los Angeles County, California and Clarke County, Nevada of how much is bled
    from their diluted welfare systems. Most states are in an unparalleled
    financial mess, from these entitlement programs. If President Obama and his
    current Imperial Court enter a second term in the White House, does that signify
    a new mass Amnesty is looming? Does that mean this country that is already
    suffering from the unfettered invasion, going to cough-up over $2.6 trillion
    dollars to make those already here comfortable? This is the heart palpitating
    analysis the Heritage Foundation has concluded on?

    Call the Washington switchboard today
    and request the phone numbers of the House Ways and Means Committee on E-Verify
    Immigration program at 202-224-3121 insisting they vote for E-Verify the ‘Legal Workforce Act’ (H.R. 2885 bill.)  You can also go to NumbersUSA website and be
    apprised of the current immigration situation, costs and rhetoric from the
    Liberal politicians and the unceasing pressure of the progressives and
    extremists. At the NumbersUSA site they have access to a free faxing system, so
    you can exclusively contact the reluctant lawmakers against E-Verify.
    In addition join your local TEA PARTY as millions have already, as this is the
    only route on commonsense to stop illegal immigration. A TEA PARTY majority in
    Washington means the dismantling of Sanctuary Cities, the Dream Act and no more
    Obama amnesties or Immigration reforms. In most cases it’s about money, greed
    and power. Mandatory E-Verify is a federal program, which nobody can get a
    waiver from once voted on.  As Americans we can make a massive difference,
    on who comes to this country? People with high level degrees in technology,
    science and math, we should be given priority. Others with financial capital to
    invest should also receive priority visas.

    Those who are looking for a handout, arriving from any country in the world
    should not be admitted. Since the 1986 Immigration mass amnesty, we have been
    importing poverty that is a fiscal nightmare for all of us. We also need field
    and agricultural worker, but not until the real double layer fence covers every
    inch of our border with Mexico and come here with legal authority, so they can
    be tracked. We need more ‘boots on the ground’ whether border agents of a
    permanent military presence, to interdict criminal from across our poorly
    constructed border barrier.

     

    It’s evident to millions of Americans
    that the left side will be blinded, intentionally or not in the next election
    for President. Therefore, we need to scrutinize the integrity of our federal
    voting system, which must be overseen in every constituency. Absentee ballots
    are especially open to abuse and every effort must be accomplished to stop
    voter fraud and illegal aliens registering to vote. Violating our most sacred
    voting rights shows that the Democratic Party will stoop to any level, to gain
    the power by ignoring groups as ACORN and other innocuous new voter canvassing
    groups hunting for registration signatures; whether a new citizen or not?
