On June 30, 2006, NY ICE rallied in front of the offices of NYS "Sellout Senators": Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer.  The Report-back and original Press Release appear below the picture.  The following picture is of a NY ICer in front of Schumer's office, and you can see the swarms of our opposition behind her:

Report-Back

On June 30^th, 2006^, our proactive Group rallied in front of the Offices of Senators Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer. We picked this location because, although we are grateful that both Senators voted for a fence to secure our Southern border, they did NOT prioritize interior enforcement. There are approximately 12-20 MILLION illegal aliens already here. (It is impossible to give an exact tally of those ILLEGALLY here, and, therefore, this number has to be an approximation). And, both Senators voted for guestworker amnesty legislation that would exponentially increase that already ridiculously-high number.

Learning from our previous protests, we accurately predicted to be outnumbered and bullied by counter protestors, but we went anyway because we believe in our Right to Protest when our representatives are selling us out. NY I.C.E. is comprised of brave New Yorkers that give voice to the silent majority of Americans who are fed up with the sheer lunacy of our country’s failure to enforce its immigration laws.

At the rally, these counter protestors, many of whom held up "Socialist Worker" newspapers and looked in their early 20’s, circled us repeatedly in an aggressive manner for at least 20 minutes into the rally, which enabled them to physically attack one of our members.  Subsequently, another counter protestor shoved the megaphone into the mouth of that same member.  Some of this violence and its perpetrators will be evidenced in photos on our "Face of Hate" page.

This rally once again exemplifies the counter protestors’ affinity for violence and their attempts to silence us. We believe that since the realities of the detrimental effects of illegal mass migration are indisputable, our opposition resorts to juvenile name-calling and violence. Our "Faces of Hate" page will show several counter protestors giving us the middle finger, in what amounts to a parade of middle fingers. Also, one counter protestor tells our camera guy that filming her is "illegal". Hmmm…when did she get so concerned with what’s ILLEGAL? Does she mean like how the 12-20 million aliens, for whom she is marching, are ILLEGAL? More importantly, do our Senators really want to be associated with people who commit such actions and idiocy?

Yet, our Senatorial rally was a victory—we did what we came to do, and did NOT acquiesce to the intimidation tactics of our opposition, the Baby Brigade.

Press Release

^{After rallying in front of Senator Clinton’s Office, NY I.C.E. plans to walk two blocks to Senator Schumer’s Office at 757 Third Ave. and rally there, since he, likewise, has supported illegal aliens.}

^{After a successful rally last week, the proactive group, NY I.C.E., will rally in front of Senator Clinton’s office this Friday. Although NY I.C.E. is grateful that the Senator did vote for a fence to secure our Southern border, she did NOT prioritize interior enforcement. There are approximately 12-20 MILLION illegal aliens already here. (It is impossible to give an exact tally of those ILLEGALLY here, and, therefore, this number has to be an approximation). And, Senator Clinton has voted for guestworker amnesty legislation that would exponentially increase that already ridiculously-high number.}

^{NY I.C.E. believes that an important distinction needs to be made between legal immigrants and illegal aliens. NY I.C.E. thoroughly supports the rights of legal immigrants; we are, in fact, fighting FOR legal immigrant rights, which are detrimentally effected by illegal aliens, many of whom already ILLEGALLY crossed the border or ILLEGALLY overstayed their visas. Illegal aliens commit a terrible disservice to those who are waiting in line to come to this country as legal immigrants.}

^{NY I.C.E. is open to all Americans and legal immigrants who believe in enforcement-ONLY immigration legislation. We represent the diversity and rich culture of the tri-state area, and welcome Americans and legal immigrants of all races, religions, and political affiliations who are united in our common struggle to protect our borders through enforcement-ONLY legislation. Bush’s spin-ographers want the people to believe in the false dichotomy of either mass deportation or legalizing mass importation. We believe that attrition, whereby the rewards of illegal aliens are systematically taken away through enforcement of immigration laws like employer sanctions, would solve the problem.}
