DATELINE: LEE COUNTY FLORIDA -

We have AMERICAN parades, and those AMERICAN people get permits which require them to pay for related services such as trash cleanup, crowd control, etc.

BUT NO!!!  Our local illegal aliens made the deal, but now realize they don't have the $$$ and aren't going to pay.  So once again, we AMERICANS are going to pay for thier bills for the services they used for thier little march.

WTF?

If this doesn't piss you off, then you just don't have a pulse.

you pay for it, gringo!

This just fits the pattern - using emergency rooms for regular dr visits and never paying, getting government services and not payint taxes, etc etc etc.

We owe it to them. We took their land!

March will cost organizers a minimum of $50K

FORT MYERS: Leaders with the city of Fort Myers and Lee County are trying to determine how much "The Great March" cost taxpayers. The city of Fort Myers attorney sent a letter to organizers on Friday stating they would be responsible for all costs involved in the event. The organizers say they shouldn't have to pay because they have a right to protest. For just the city of Fort Myers' overtime costs, the bill is $50,630.

On Friday, the Fort Myers city attorney sent a letter to Luis Ibarra, Director of the United Latin Immigrants of Florida as well as the Mexican Consulate in Miami.

The letter stated, "The city is unaware if you have taken any steps to provide for the event and therefore will incur significant taxpayer dollars to provide what the organizers of the event are supposed to provide. As a result, the city will be seeking reimbursement for these services and will hold your organization responsible to the greatest extent of the law."

Ibarra says he never received the letter and it's the first he's heard about the possibility of receiving a bill for the march.

"We are a non profit organization and we shouldn't have to pay anything to anyone. This is freedom of speech and we have the right to protest and march as immigrants. Who says we have to pay? That's ridiculous," said Ibarra.

The city says it doesn't matter if they are non-profit organization or a corporation. Any organization that holds an event of this size, permitted or not, needs to provide for basic services.

The city of Fort Myers estimates overtime costs alone will run $50,630. That doesn't include vehicle costs, food, water or equipment. They are at least one week from having final numbers.

Lee County says it will be weeks before they will know how much the march cost.

Here is an excerpt from the Fort Myers ordinance regarding processions:

Sec. 17-117. Permit required; fees.
No parade or procession upon any street of the city and no open-air public meetings upon any public property shall be permitted unless a special permit shall first be obtained. Any person desiring a permit under this section shall make written application to the chief of police or some duly authorized member of the police department. Permits issued under this section shall be printed or written, duly signed by the chief of police or some duly authorized member of the police department after approval and shall specify the day, hour, place and purpose of such parade, procession or open-air public meeting. The fee for such permit shall be five dollars ($5.00) if the activity permitted requires no extra policing or will cause no extra cost or expense to the city. If such activity will require additional policing or supervision or otherwise incur additional cost and expense to the city, there shall be charged such fee as will defray such additional cost to be determined by the chief of police.
(Code 1963, § 32-1)

Don't worry about it, it's just another law that won't be enforced against illegals

I mean, if they can parade around in public without fear of deported back, why pay bills?

Considering that ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) is one of the orgainzers behind these marches, I wouldn't be surprised if one of their intentions was to overtax local services, cost them a lot of money and then refuse to pay.  I would put nothing past ANSWER.

Not in THIS area - it won't be quiet at all.

I think that somebody is going to get hurt, this is redneck town, and these people won't let this just happen.

I hope you are right but OUR .gov has gone to a LOT of trouble to cover up the crimes committed by illegals

Still waiting for someone to locate ANY crime statistics for illegal aliens
How many rapes did they commit last year? How many of those were rapes of children under 15?
How many robberies did illegal aliens commit last year? How many resulted in death of the victim?
How many illegal aliens were charged with possession of FORGED GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS?
How many illegal aliens were charged with INCOME TAX EVASION?
How many illegal aliens were charged with driving without insurance\drivers license?

I bet NO ONE can find information on the crime rates of illegals because their arrest records are SEALED TO PROTECT THEIR PRIVACY

A quick google search for stats.  Didn't read it thoroughly, though.

The local newspaper has a poll today, the bottom line is that 60% responded that the marches will work against the illegals.

That was before tomorrows article, which will have a headline like "Bend over AMERICANS, and pay for the illegal's marching bills too".

The taxpayers should just shut and pay.  After all, they(the illegals) are just protesting things that Americans won't protest.

So when can we just take out the belt-fed and for some target practice. Lets organize some machine gun shoots on the same days and places as the marches.

Earlier this year, there was a report about illegals up here in Minnesota.

Best quote from a newscast in 2006:
"Most illegals don't commit crimes"

Yes, a news reporter said that.  Uummm, how about the fact they are illegal for starters?

"Most illegals don't commit crimes"

Yup, if you exclude unauthorized entry into the United States, use\possession of fraudulent
government identity documents, income tax evasion, housing codes, health laws and operating
a vehicle on public streets without proper training\testing\insurance "most" of them probably don't

The final bill is at $500,000, and the march organizers still insist they are not paying.
