You Don't Speak for Me (http://dontspeakforme.org/principles.html - broken link)
They are advocating for open borders.
No, they are not open borders advocates. They simply believe all who wish to become immigrants should do so legally, as opposed to violating our laws by entering this country illegally, or overstaying visas. The name of the organization conveys the message that Hispanic illegal alien advocacy groups “do not speak for them.” Their organization dispels the myth that ALL Hispanics support illegal immigration.
Actually, the previous Illegal Alien koolaid peddlers called it a fix. Reagan and his left over ideas of Carter and his crew. Look were it has gotten us.
Perhaps the pro-illegal crowd actually believe that we will fall for this “we will secure the borders, enforce our laws, and eliminate illegal immigration” BS again. Perhaps our elected reps believe we have forgotten the promise made before the last mega amnesty. You know, “we will NEVER have another amnesty.” We have NOT forgotten. Nor will we be fooled again.
If anyone is being fooled, it’s the IA supporters who actually believe illegals will be amnestied.
"You Don't Speak for Me" is a Latino-American group which demands:
1. All immigration should be legal
2. Illegal aliens from any country should never be rewarded with benefits or privileges
3. No amnesty - no way!
4. Secure our borders now and fully enforce immigration laws
5. Learn and speak English
..........
what latino group...the last press release was in 2007, "You dont speak for me" doesnt have anybody speaking for it but some old videos made in 2006-2007.
Col. Al is one voice with one vote just like any other American.

To both broaden the demographic of its movement and cultivate a grassroots following, the Washington D.C.-based Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has created front groups that work together, often in concert with border vigilante groups, to broadcast a xenophobic message. At the same time, they use these as a defense against charges of racism.
In May 2006, the Washington D.C.-based Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) “was proud to help launch” a group called You Don’t Speak for Me

So now we're going to quote references from groups such as the Anti-Defamation League, a far left-wing organization which makes the ACLU look legitmate by comparison?
Do YOU believe that advocating to defend our southern border and our nation's laws is an inherently "xenophobic" act? May I ask what your point is, 1751Texan?
