Carlos Santana on Immigration

He blasted the haters while at a Braves Game and at a press conference afterward and what he said is true.

Carlos Santana Blasts Georgia Immigration Law At Braves Game | TheLoop21.com

He was invited to Turner Field in Atlanta to speak before the first annual "Civil Rights Game" between the hometown Braves and Philadelphia Phillies. After being honored as a "Beacon of Change," Santana acted as such and spoke out against Georgia's recent passing of immigration law, HB 87 that is supposed to crack down on illegal immigration by increasing enforcement powers and requiring many employers to check the immigration status of new hires.

“The people of Arizona, the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves,” he said before being met with a round of awkward handclabs and boos from the crowd.

In a post-game press conference he continued.

“This [law] is about fear, that people are going to steal my job,” Santana said. “No we ain’t. You don’t clean toilets and clean sheets, stop shucking and jiving.”

"It’s an anti-American law. It’s a cruel law, actually," Santana added. "If you all remember what it was like here with Martin Luther King and the dogs and the hoses, it’s the same thing, only it’s high tech. So let’s change it.”

In 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act was the original Immigration Reform bill that was subverted by business interests. Millions of illegal aliens entered the country after the mass amnesty using bogus documentation, which indicated they had been resident before the law was signed by Ronald Reagan. Even though the bill was sworn by the departed Senator Kennedy it has been shown to be a failure; not because it’s broken as Liberal and Democrats would like you to believe. But as there sections of the bill, never enforced. That everybody--including mostly Guest Workers for agriculture, that were given a path to citizenship, were able to apply for everything from food stamps to Medicaid costing within a few years $78 Billion dollars. If today, another Amnesty is passed with at least 20 million illegal alien settled here, the cost today would be just unimaginable, with access to Social Security and your pension money.

The afterwards of that Reagan bill was a silent signal for all those newcomers to depart the farms and taking-up other occupations across the country. If you want to witness the 14.5 trillion dollar US deficit reduced, we must enforce our immigration laws, policing our States with a mandatory E-Verify and the new Secure Communities provision of the Save Act. We cannot afford any more half measures, from the ongoing resistance of President Obama, politicians like Senator Harry Reid (D-NV in their growing unconstitutional push for an Immigration reform bill that disguises another capacity Amnesty. Illegal Immigration is an inflammatory issue, caused over decades of Washington lack of sympathy to US worker, now with estimates of 20 million foreign nationals feeding of the welfare system they have—NOT--attributed too? The worst issue is the instant baby citizenship law, which has become an uninterrupted national issue that is another massive entitlement for these people.

This is a foothold for hundreds of thousands of illegal families with 300.000 infants annually and probably the most fiscally exhausting expenditure for taxpayers. The Leftists and even GOP leaders have chosen not to release information of the costs of another amnesty; federal or State costs to support millions of these invaders. Now that Billionaire Donald Trump, Mike Huchabee have opt out of the presidential race, we the taxpayer citizen and legal resident need to choose somebody with a moral responsibility, in identifing the best personage for President. Currently the Tea Party that without any prejudice to a person’s political affiliation, race or religion must combat the Liberal elite in the media, who are going to crucify any challenger to Obama’s presidency. Every new candidate must face an overwhelming ordeal of rhetoric, propaganda and lies from the invasive left wing of the Democrats. They are going to dig up as much dirt as they can? It's only illegal immigrants that have become the welfare parasites, as ethnic legal Hispanic households having being tied to the same financial brush of those who scorned the "Rule of Law."

Another peril that must be exposed is that illegal aliens are voting in our elections and must be treated with zero tolerance. ACORN has said to have reorganized, after being dismantled by Congress and they will be registering just about anybody, no matter their immigration status.

THE TEA PARTY is the party of the American people, of--ALL--the American people, who are comprised of all delusional political party members and are ready to conclude this present President and Lib-Democratic party. Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (R-MN), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) are some of the leaders in the TEA PARTY, and ardent Conservative Constitutionalists that are prepared to reform our unfair tax system, reduce the government agencies and return them to state control and insure a Congressional amendment to halt out-of-control spending. The TEA PARTY are against anything that is an obstacle to the sovereignty rights of all Americans and are ready deport illegal immigrants through ATTRITION. Get going today and join the monolith membership of the TEA PARTY at the National and local branches.
