Muslim Illegal Immigrants Demand American Homeland

(2003-06-09) -- Approximately 13,000 Arab and Muslim illegal immigrants have petitioned the U.S. government for a homeland of their own to be carved out of "all of that wasted space out west." The illegal immigrants said they deserve the right to self-determination.

If their petition for a North American homeland is denied, the illegal immigrants face deportation under an obscure U.S. law which makes perpetrators of illegal actions punishable.

Some of the Muslims have been in the U.S. for many years, and live in attractive suburban neighborhoods, which they now call "refugee camps."

A visit to the Starbuck's coffee shop in California's Twin Pines "refugee camp" found jittery Muslim men sipping bitter coffee, wondering about their future. They told a reporter how they live paycheck-to-paycheck on isolated cul-de-sacs where families of four often huddle in three bedroom, two bath tract homes without broadband internet access.

You are of course talking about all the wasted space that sick willie didn't grab when he was president.
Lets give them barbera strisands estate, her know it all nose doesn't need that much space.

Posted by: Mike S at June 9, 2003 10:03 AM

Hey! I like the Grand Canyon.

There's tons of space in Nevada that isn't being used for anything since they stopped testing nuclear weapons. Let's give them that.
I was going to suggest Death Valley, but there are some very unique and sensitive ecosystems that I wouldn't want to see damaged.

Personally, I can't beleive that an out-moded and obscure law like this would be enforced. Why, if this trend continues, people who commit all sorts of crimes could actually be punished!
(the above paragraph is intended as sarcasm)

I'm going back to where my ancestors came from and demanding their land back. Now, was that Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany, or Italy? hmmm....I think it was all of them. Decisions, decisions.......

Frenchman:

I'm sure France has no immigration laws - they let just anyone in, don't they? Oh - I forgot - Europeans are OK - it's just those pesky North Africans who need to be kept under control...

***Legislation. On February 27, 1997, the French National Assembly approved by a large margin new immigration legislation that legalizes the status of some illegal aliens, but also implements measures to make it easier to locate and remove illegal aliens.

One provision of the new legislation requires foreigners without residency permits who stay in private homes to report their arrival and departure to local police. Under a 1982 regulation (decree), foreigners who apply for a tourist visa, but have no money or hotel reservations and intend to stay in private homes, must usually obtain an officially stamped affidavit, a so-called certificate of accommodation, from a French host in order to obtain a tourist visa to visit France.

An earlier draft of the legislation required the French host to notify the authorities of the foreigner's arrival in and departure from private homes. The legislation was amended on February 19 to shift the reporting burden from the French host to the foreigner; the host requests the certificate, and the alien turns it in to authorities when leaving France. Records are to be destroyed after three months.

The law is designed to cut down on illegal immigration, mostly from former French colonies in Africa and North Africa; Europeans and visitors from about 30 other countries are exempt from the reporting requirements. Another amendment would make the police rather than elected mayors responsible for operating the reporting system.

Illegal Immigrants from Mexico are demanding the return of their ancient homeland. A mythical land called "Hollywood." When asked for a comment on this claim, several Republican representatives in Washington said they had no problem with returning the region to the "displaced people" and further commented that since nothing of value was ever produced there, the return would pose no great loss to the American people or economy.

Legal immigrants are the ones that actually went through the bureaucratic process to make sure that they won't be kicked out in the future, if for nothing but pity of having to actually deal with the INS...

P.S. At least USA allows you to prosper as an immigrant by integrating you into a platform for obtaining it's riches, unlike the West Europeans, who still think that the 'separate but equal' doctrine is a sustainable democratic model...

Frenchman -

the largest swath of land added to the possessions of the United States (within the contiguous 48 states) was the Louisiana Purchase in the early 1800's. We bought the land, fair and square from...

France.

The land was not conquered, it was purchased.

Regarding the topic of illegal immigrants, after your country's little trade union strike allows the anarchists to completely disrupt your country and the immigrants to take over and implement islamic law, will we (the United States of America) have to come across the Atlantic AGAIN to save your sorry lot?

Posted by: tom at June 9, 2003 12:58 PM

I like Camembert, but was told by a French exchange naval officer's wife that the Camembert we get over here is relatively tasteless - which is probably true. I also like Brie and SagaBlue.

I also love PepperJack (yeah, I know - can't help it).

SRG: as long as you don't eat CheeseWhiz, that's OK. I have a great recipe for broccoli-cheese soup that uses Velveeta - haven't made it for about 10 years, but it's to-die-for. Even people who hate broccoli go nuts over it.

I'm not a huge cheese-eater, but with a lovely bottle of Chateau Los Alamitos Conduit, it makes everything look a bit rosier :)

If it weren't for the Frecnh killing of the natural inhabitants of most of what is now the United States, stealing their lands, and then selling it to the new government of the United States, we wouldn't have Mardi Gras.

Since you are so intelligent, could you tell me what laws were in place in the country now known as the United States that would have caused immigration of the colonists to be illegal? Because, your post seems to indicate that if the colonists did not have superior firepower their immigration would have been illegal? What immigration law are you pulling this out of, I would be interested to research it.

You have a few collective misconceptions about the French attitude to illegal immigrants.

They let anybody into the country as long as they are heading directly for the UK. They will even feed them, give free accommodation and transport them to the Channel refugee camps where they will allow them to pay extortionate prices to get themselves smuggled into the UK. A few die in the back of refridgerated trucks, some are caught, but most make it through and end up working in the porn industry or near slavery to pay off their transport "debts".

The UK which adheres strictly to the UN rules on refugees treats those that apply for assylum quite badly but rarely manages to deport any illegal immigrants. Anyone who has been to London in the last 10 years can see the results of unfettered illegal immigration from all over the world.

Despite all the French Help and the very bleak welcome in the UK which is getting much tougher on immigration (at last) they still can't wait to get out of France.

Reaaaaaalllllllly?????? The Quoran says to kill Christians and Jews. It is a religion based in hatred. Christianity last time I checked was based on "Love thy neighbor as thy self". There is a basic difference in Muslims and Christians. Unfortunately no matter how much I try I can not turn the other cheek. It is a failing of mine and I will have to face my maker over it. However; until them, I refuse to allow muslims to get a free pass at ANY AMERICAN no matter what the PC folks think. So Max, no I do not see what you mean!!!

Posted by: Old Sailor at June 9, 2003 11:06 PM

what a crazy thought !
its as though all the Jews in Palestine suddenly decided they wanted their own state even though most had only been there a few years, carried out a brutal terrorism campaign to get their way maybe with Menachem Begin blowing up buses full of innocent civilians and Yitzhak Shamir murdering the UN peace negotiator Bernadotte, and then ethnically cleansed all the native Palestinians in a series of brutal massacres at Deir Yassin, Tantura etc.

Cassandra: Europeans and visitors from about 30 other countries are exempt from the reporting requirements.

Think that might have something to do with the fact its a legal requirement that all citizens of the EU have freedom to move & work in all countries of the EU?

How does this differ any from the USA's visa waiver programme?

Posted by: greap at June 10, 2003 06:40 AM

Old sailor,

You should travel more, read more , study more and know more people.

If that¥s the way you see muslims, you are showing a complete lack of knowledge about them.
Christianity based on love? Haaaa!!!!That¥s what I call idiocentrism.

You need a wider view of things I¥m afraid.

By the way , one thing is the existence of a particular legal system related to inmigration and other thing is whether you agree with it or not.

***I didn't know that - thanks for educating me :) Can't comment on the visa issue because I don't really know enough about it - I was just trying to respond to Frenchman's post about illegal aliens only being illegal if they were strong enough to rise up or some other such nonsense.

Posted by: Cassandra at June 10, 2003 11:03 AM

Scott -

great post, the irony is skewer-ful. I guess those arguing against your position don't grasp the point - all the hoopla on yesterday's NYT's front page about government treatment of illegals. The last time I read the Bill of Rights people who enter the US illegally have no rights. They're not citizens. If the worst thing that happened when the illegals got picked up and detained was that they were held for 80 days (on average) before they were deported then you guys are crying wolf (again). Scott's satire (remember folks, this is a satire site) pokes fun at those people who think illegal aliens have rights, to the point where the illegals are clamoring for a homeland.

see http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110003601 for the other perspective on the issue.

Posted by: tom at June 10, 2003 11:55 AM

Old Sailor,
The Quran doesn't say to kill Christians and Jews. It call them fellow "Peoples of the Book." The Quran stresses tolerance. Hospitality and mercy are two of the five "pillars of faith."
Unfortunately, just as Jesus' message got twisted throughout the millenia to excuse stuff that would have made him sick, the message of the Quran got twisted into all the crap that is going on today.
Incidentally, the Quran recognizez Jesus as a great prophet.

On a related, but different note: this whole "no alcohol" policy of there's needs a rewrite. If they could unwind with a beer or two after a long day, I doubt all fanaticism would be happening.

2) Being unused to alcohol, the hangovers would have them in bed for a week.
3) AK-47s and alcohol do not mix. FUBARed Palestinians with fully automatic weapons. They'd fire up into the air in celebration, and miss the sky shooting their fellow "I like to parade with a table-cloth wrapped around my head" guys.

I usually spit on the ground where Farrakhan walks, but he doesn't pull any punches.
Devout Muslims are nice folks. There is a Muslim community center near where I live. I pass it often on walks, and they always have a wave and smile for passers by.
(I took part in a voluntary escort program for Muslims in my neighborhood for a week or two after 9/11. Making sure they got to and from home without being harrassed by a**holes. A couple of the ladies wouldn't let us leave without feeding us. Yum! Fortunately the walking kept the pounds from piling on too much).
Fanatics of any faith are a whole different kettle of fish: their own narrow world-view is the only correct one and everyone else is not only wrong but deliberately wrong and therefore EVIL.

can't say I've ever found brutality that refreshing.
I can't say I regard Sharon as that honest either for example pretending he's accepted the road map when in reality he's raised 14 reservations including refusing to remove the illegal settlements (and no, caravans don't count as settlements) and in fact even continuing to build settlements on the grounds that ceasing the theft of Pal land will require "a pregnant woman to have an abortion?"
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L21407583.htm
funny that, the Israelis have never said their policy of hardly ever granting Palestinians building permits in occupied East Jerusalem amounts to forcing Pal pregnant women to have abortions due to lack of living space.

If you add that to the PLO statements that call for the destruction of Isreal, and the Pal textbooks that call for the destruction if Isreal and that proclaim that Jews are evil and deserve death...WHy does anyone think there will be peace in the region?

I find that remark rather callous considering Hamas just offed 9 innocents and maimed 50-60 more people just this morning.
Rummy
Sharon is a politician too,therefore everything he says comes under scrutiny however theres no doubt in mine or your mind where he stands when it comes to the protection of Israel.
Do you believe Arafat when he renounces terrorism 5 minutes before an al-asqua guerilla blows himself up in a dining room full of passover worshippers?
The frustrating thing about all this is the period of relative quiet between 1993-2000,yes there were acts of terror but they were few and far between the nonsense that occurs in the holy land on a daily basis now.
I live on the frontlines of terror myself,I take the bus to work in manhatten,I know in my heart its only a matter of time before the city of my birth and the city with the highest population of Jews gets whacked again..
All I can do about it is hope and pray that its not my time,I nearly crap myself daily when my wife puts the kids on the school bus cause I cant be there with them...Tell me what my crime is and why I have to live like this?

Posted by: Sean at June 11, 2003 11:47 AM

Sean,
ah well I didn't know about the bus bomb at the time.
however you SHOULD have known about all the innocent Pals Sharon has had killed. 2 unarmed Pal teenagers were shot dead last week in defiance of the road map. So how callous was YOUR comment about his brutal honesty being refreshing ?

Posted by: Northpole at June 11, 2003 03:21 PM

Im pretty well versed in Uncle Ari's savage ways and if you read me from 830 this morning you will see I dont really care for the man at all..
What I do respect about him is the iron of his convictions..For example,how many politicians in the usa have changed their minds on issues like abortion...about all of them have at 1 point or another...You will not see Sharon waiver on the subject of Jerusalem or the right of return..
you will see some type of compromise on the west bank and gaza but only if it benefits Israels interests..Point is you know where he stands weather you like it or not and in the age of the spin doctors and pollsters that is refreshing..

Posted by: Sean at June 11, 2003 03:37 PM

Sean,

so Sharon is a politician whereas Arafat is a serial liar is what you're saying ?
it may come as a surprise to you but Israel have tried very, very hard to link Arafat to the current terrorism and failed. endless repetion by Israel does not equal the truth here. Israel supplied their attempts at evidence to the US and, apart from some sloppy factual errors, the main appearance of Arafat seemed to be of a man who was trying to control terror despite the fact that Israel was undermining him by detroying his security apparatus (Bush made this point to Israeli security only this week).

Come to think of it when did Menachem Begin or Yitzhak Shamir renounce terrorism ?

> The frustrating thing about all this is the period of relative quiet between 1993-2000

yes and during this period the number of Israeli infiltrators into illegal settlements doubled - is it any wonder Pal anger erupted into the Intifada. Israel squandered the chance for peace. Not content with getting 78% of Palestine they wanted more ? What did Golda Meir (nearly) say ?
"When Israelis learn to love their own children more than they lust for Palestinian land there will be peace"

you do realise that without banner headlines 22 Palestinians have been killed since June 4 - a minority were militants - what was their crime ?
yesterday having killed 2 Hamas militants in their deluded attempts to suppress terror the IDF sound up by firing a 2nd missile into a crowd of innocent Pal bystanders kiling 5 - what was their crime ? will the IDF terrorists get arrested and face justice ? will Sharon cease his terror ?

yup, Sean, Point is you know where Hamas stands weather you like it or not and in the age of the spin doctors and pollsters that is refreshing..

whether Hamas and Sharon kill innocents deliberately is beside the point I spose

Northpole(cat),CONical Scummy this is for you,

I said it before, and I'll say it again, we should give ALL palestinians their own state, on the Moon! Once there, with their murderous/hateful nature, and no one else to fight with, they would soon turn on themselves, and put themselves out of their misery! Problem solved!

P.S. Be sure and take plenty of explosives with you, so you can kill yourselves in MASS quantity's, as you do with innocent Israeli women and Children!

Have a long stay in HELL!

This just in; Hell has added a new wing, with the influx of Homicide bombers and MOST other followers of moe-ham-head, a proud Satan was heard to say, "I'm so happy that my best buddy Arafat, and his lovely group Hama$$, are helping me to pack-em-in. I love the look on these lovely murders face when I tell them we have a full menu here, pork chops, ham, bacon, pig knuckles, and sausage! I can't figure out what they are talking about when they ask me:

1. Will I turn the heat down?
2. Where are the virgins?
3. How come moe-ham-head is here with us?
4. How soon will the ones who lied to us be here, so we can 'TALK' to them?"

Pal,
I bet people were saying Israelis, "with their murderous/hateful nature", should be given a state on the moon in the 1940s when Menachem Begin was bombing the snot out of buses full of civilians and peaceful Yitzhak Shamir was murdering the UN peace negotiator Bernadotte.
Both these terrorists got elected Israeli PM !! what is it with Israelis ? why do they love terrorists so much ?

Begin bus bombing innocent civilians - 1 of many incidents
http://www.cdiss.org/terror_1940s.htm
Twenty Arabs, five Jews and two British soldiers killed and thirty wounded in Jewish terrorist bomb attacks on buses in Haifa and Ramleh, Palestine. British mandate to rule Palestine ends on 15 May 1948; state of Israel established.

December 29
Jewish Irgun terrorists throw grenades from passing taxi into cafÈ near the Damascus gate, Jerusalem, Palestine, killing eleven Arabs and two British policemen. >

Shamir murdered the UN peace negotiator
http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/History/folke.html
The terrorists, wearing khaki shorts and peaked caps, left their jeep, found Bernadotte in the second car of the convoy and one man, later discovered to be Yehoshua Cohen, fired a Schmeisser automatic pistol into the car, spraying the interior with bullets and killing Seraut and then Bernadotte. The other LEHI members shot the tires of the rest of the convoy and all the terrorists escaped to the religious community of Sha’arei Pina where they hid with haredi (ultra-religious) LEHI sympathizers for a few days ...
Yitzhak Shamir reputedly played a role in planning the assassination; however, he was never tried and went on to become Prime Minister of Israel. >

------ Hey, Idiots! Here's how your right to self-determination works: Assimilate into American society, reject any loyalty to former countries, become "Americans", not Arabs, not Muslims.

excuse me, mr. racist redneck but last time i checked, the u.s. constitution granted ppl the right and freedom to practice their own religion, so why would i forget about being muslim? Or is mr. Bush - the king of all racist rednecks - planning on writing his own constitution? hm... that would take a thousand amendments just to correct the spelling and grammar.

And by the way, if you hate french so much, plz do destroy the statue of liberty. wouldnt that be ironic? or stupid? hm... well wouldnt be anything new for rednecks...

P.S. do not forget your own past. you invented terrorism and mass murders. remember native americans. how about african americans?

Posted by: proud to be muslim at July 25, 2003 08:56 PM

proud to be muslim: before picking on spelling or grammar, how about checking your own? It's pretty atrocius (intentionally misspelled.) And we didn't invent terrorism. Also, "tired of whiners" was actually saying that we shouldn't go around being muslims or catholics or protestants or jews or whatever. We should go around being americans who happen to be muslim or catholic or protestant or jewish or whatever we are. And cut the 'racist redneck' crap. Prove that GWB is a racist redneck, and then make comments like that. But you gotta back it up with something other than hyperbole.


PS: The main debate is going on at the latest thread. This one has been dead for more than a month.
