I just don't understand the mentality then. So let's so I was an illegal immigrant. I knew that any day I could be deported. So what do I do, I have a child? Isn't that selfish? I knew what the potential consequences would be.

The law is the law and if you are an illegal immigrant, then you have to realize that it is a reality that you might be deported and you have to accept that. Having a child is an unwise move.

Now some might say that the law is bad. Maybe, but that is besides the point. The law is the law and if they illegal immigrants want to be accepted, they can start by accepting and abiding the laws of the country they want to live in.

Send their children back to their homeland with them (wherever it is)! Teach the children what happens when they commit crimes. Just what are these criminals thinking? That it's okay to be a criminal just because you have a child (or 5)? That if you scream and whine long enough, people will forget about punishing you for what you've done wrong? These illegals are some of the most pathetic people I've met in my life. Grow up and quit breaking the law! I wouldn't dream of doing what they're doing. If I wanted to move to Germany when I retired, I would have done it the right way! Not sneak in as a tourist, steal somebody's identity, and then try to hide within their society so that nobody knows I'm illegal! What's so hard about that? Being a good member of society is EASY. Just simply follow the rules. Why can't these people understand what rules are? Is it a cultural difference? Do what you want no matter who you hurt? Who cares that you ruin somebody's life by taking their SS number and abusing it? Low life trash is all they are.

Don't split families up. If staying together is of the utmost impotance, then take your children when you're deported. They're still US citizens. They can return when they're adults and can contribute to society. They'll be legal citizens. But don't come into the country, have an anchor baby, and then expect to be allowed to stay. You've committed a crime by coming here. NO AMNESTY!! I could rob a bank and say 'It's OK that I broke that law because I plan to spend the money I stole. It'll be good for the economy.' Would that excuse my breaking the law? Of course not. After I'm convicted, I could say 'I have two children. Don't send me to jail and seperate me from my family.' I realize that comparing robbing banks and illegal immigration is comparing apples and oranges. But in my possibly warped mind there are similarities between the two and the defense being used. I also realize that my family does not have the option of going to jail with me and that the anchor baby did nothing wrong to deserve to be deported. That too is a comparison of apples to oranges. But the original issue is seperation of families. If the punishment for robbing that bank was deportation, you better believe that I'd take my family with me.

The American Republic supports the Mexican People


America was unfortunately developed by the murdering of the indigenous inhabitants (Various tribes of Indians) and by lies and deceit.

The Dutch had great ideas for America, the French wanted a new home, Spain was addicted to blood, religion and gold, and Britain was expanding due to overcrowding and disease. The Jews brought in the Irish to manage, and the Negros to work, then came the Asians. The Mexican people were always in America and thru crafty means they were systematically pushed back into their continent. Poncho Villa was trying to save the Mexicans from the lies of oil, and the rest is still history.

Now the so called Minute Men are attempting to drive the Mexican people back across their original border. California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, etc was originally Mexico. The illegal government of Mexico has forced their people into slavery forcing them to cross over their borders into America to look for work to feed their families. The current US government does not recognize these facts as do others.

We of the American Republic respect the Mexican people and will help them regain their dignity and respect due any human being on this planet.
Under our new government, the Mexican people will be welcomed to enter our land and to work, prosper and provide for themselves and families. They can either stay or return to their country without the threat of deportation. America was invaded by immigrants from around the world looking for a better life and was built on that fact. We will offer the same opportunity for all who seek freedom and a new way of life.

Viva La Raza


We are a Legion of many, who will live a life of peace, and have respect for all living things, while having considerations for those who are different, and look for ways to truly accommodate those who are slow in understanding.

We support the poor, helpless, and defenseless people. We support the freedom of Women, we support the sane treatment of animals and the environment, we support the freedom of religion and expression. We do not support ignorance, period.

We are a growing nation of people that encourage anyone or Nation anywhere to become part of the New American Republic!

Sincerely,
Judah Ben-Hur
