The Lone Protester – A Case In American Patriotism

 

Cross posted from Freedom Folks and The Voice.

Thank you Mr. Funderburk, for having the testicular fortitude and moral conviction to do what millions should.  You sir, are a true American Patriot.

Here is Terry Funderburk’s story in his own words.

My name is Terry Funderburk. I live in Columbia, SC and have a small business in the new home construction industry here. I install copper on new homes. I have been in business for almost 20 years now and always had plenty of work lined up. Usually, I had 20 to 30 jobs lined up for the next few weeks. Last year my company grossed 176 thousand. I have 2 employees and a partner. (my son). This year though, things have gone to hell in a handbasket. Here we are almost into August and my business has grossed so far this year 18 thousand. (by this time last year we had grossed 110 grand). So whats different between this year and last year? Right, the illegal competition. Let me tell you a little story that actually happened to me this week (it still seems surreal). But it begins about a month ago. Then I stopped by a home that was being rebuilt due to a lightning strike last year I knew the homeowner, I have done 2 different copperjobs on his house before it burned down. I asked him if he was planning on installing copper on the front and rear porches and he said yes, to please give him a bid on it. He said that he had an international team of roofers to install the shingles on the roof and that if I wanted the copperjob to be sure to give him a low bid. He said that the international roofers got paid 4 to 5 dollars an hour for the shingles. (thats what American roofers were making in 1970). Well, I turned in a bid to him for 5 grand on the copperwork. A fair price. So this past Monday morning was when my adventure began. (and it ain’t over by a long shot). I drove by that house early Monday, the international roofing team was hard at work installing the copper. I saw red. I got enraged. I went home, made up 2 picket signs, one said illegals, stop stealing our jobs and the other simply said Enforce our laws. I told my wife that I probably wasn’t coming home that night because I was going to protest until I got arrested and taken to jail. In route to the job I called my son and told him what I was planning to do. I asked for his support, gave him my digital camera and had him park his truck across the intersection from the job with the camera and take pictures of me protesting that job. I got my picket sign and started marching up and down the street yelling. I brought out all of the homeowners neighbors told them exactly how cheap their friend was. Every vehicle that came by I made sure they slowed down, read my sign and saw how mad I was.

After about 30 minutes of doing this a single cop showed up. He pulled over, came up to me, grabbed my sign, threw it down on the road and told me to come to his patrol car with him. I asked him if I was under arrest, he said no that he just wanted to talk to me. I told him no, I wanted his hands off me, my sign back and that I wanted to keep expressing my first amendment rights. He grabbed me forcefully then, trying to steer me to his vehicle but I immediately sat down in the middle of the road. I was still yelling because I was madder than hell at that homeowner.

He cuffed my hands behind me then he real forcefully tried to pick me up so I yelled to my son, Police brutality, take a picture, lol, That cop took his hands off me then and called for a backup. The other cop arrived after 30 minutes or so and the entire time I am so pissed I yelled at everybody that came by. A lot of them gave a a thumbs up.

Once the cop was talking to the homeowner so I reached over and picked up my sign with my hands cuffed and yelled for my son to take a picture, (nice one too).

Well, both cops came over to me, I asked them if I was under arrest they said no. They picked me up (no help from me) and shoved me in the back of the patrol car.

I looked at the homeowner while they were doing this and he had a smirk on his face so I called him a cheap bastard. I asked both cops again if I was under arrest, they both said no so I demanded to be released. Then the first cop sat in the front seat and began to write a ticket. I asked him what was the charge he said cursing. lol. I started laughing then, it was just so damn funny (and tragic). I asked him, tell me, which crime is worse, cursing, that homeowner knowingly and admitting to employing illegals or the illegals breaking the law by being here illegally? Well, I certainly found out which crime is the most serious because I spent the next 22 hours in jail for cursing. When I got out of jail Tuesday afternoon I called and emailed 8 different law firms. I went to criminal court yesterday morning (for cursing mind you). The judge asked me how did I plead. I told him I wanted a jury trial. Thats what the lawyers had advised me. Every word in this story is true. I got the pictures to prove it. And the ticket for cursing too of course. My trial should be within the next 3 to six weeks, I’m just about bankrupt because of all the illegal competition, but I swear to God if I am found guilty of cursing I will take it all the way to the supreme court. I listened to Michael Savage the other evening and he said that there were 30 illegal Hispanics outside his studio protesting something he said over the air. He said that they sounded like they were offended and then he said that there are 180 million Americans offended by the millions of illegals flooding across our southern border but of the 2 groups who is our politicians and government listening to. The 30 illegals of course. But I tell you what, it is way past time for the American people to put there feet down, to get rid of most of the bums in Washington and locally and get this country back to the way it was before it became politically correct. The way things are going these days I fear for the future of my kids and grandkids. Is there anybody out there with me or can offer me any advice? Thanks for reading a tragic story from a very outraged patriot. Almost forgot, but I am not one of Senator Lindsey Grahams bigots(this fellow is gone come nov 08). I am married to a beautiful lady from the Philippines. It cost 15 grand in visa and lawyer fees to get her here LEGALLY. The process took 2 years. She didn’t have a border to just stroll across like our southern neighbors love to do all the time.

Get Well, Don. America Needs You More Than Ever.

Don, the AZGhost and momentum behind Americans killed by Illegals, Just got out of the hospital yesterday.  Our thoughts and our prayers are with him in his recovery.  The Ghost is a good and decent God fearing patriotic American who has always been decent to me.  He is a leader in the cause for a soveriegn America and illegal immigration enforcement.  He is a selfless man who tries hard to get the word out about all the innocent American lives that have been snuffed out by the lawless illegal invaders.

May each of you offer up your prayer to his speedy recovery.  God bless you Arizona Ghost.  God bless you and watch over you.  May the Lord heal you and make you stronger than you ever were before.  May you continue to do the Lord’s work and fulfill the patriotic mission you have undertaken.

Please visit him at his site americanskilledbyillegals.com and wish him well. 

My best wishes and prayers go out to you and your family Don.  Please get well soon.  America and Arizona need you more than ever.

These People Know How To Make Money, With Illegal Alien Labor Of Course

 Commentary:  Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, is right on the money in this argument.  The “Wake Up Coalition of Greed Fueled Law-Breaking Asshats”, who are void of any real and valid basis for their opposition to a law requiring them to forfeit profit for compliance, are left with nothing but to throw out the already spent “race card”.  This coalition of greedy lawbreakers claim that if they are forced out of business by continuing to break the law, “Anglos” will lose their jobs too.

I refuse to sink down to the coalitions level as referring to this in racial terms.  If lawbreaking businesses are forced out of business for hiring illegal workers, then the few and far between legal employees will find work with other employers.  And get this… MANY new legal businesses will start up and fill the void as the market dictates.  You see, it’s simple economics.  Every single one of these greedy lawbreaking business owners know this.  They are simply trying to protect their sleazy and quite profitable scheme of hiring illegal workers and paying them slave wages.

Business Owner Group Says Illegal-Hire Law Will Hurt Anglos Too

By Howard Fischer

Capitol Media Services

PHOENIX — A new state law intended to deny work to those here illegally will end up costing a lot of Anglo Arizonans their jobs.

That’s what a group of Arizona business owners hope to convince the state’s non-Hispanic majority of — that it’s in their own best interest to quash laws punishing companies for knowingly hiring undocumented workers.

Mac Magruder who heads the Wake Up Arizona coalition, said Tuesday the new law will have “devastating unintended consequence” on the state’s economy, and will do far more than just drive out the possible 500,000 people in Arizona illegally.

“When brown people lose their jobs, white people will lose their jobs,” he said.

He noted that the law, which takes effect Jan. 1, allows a judge to suspend a firm’s license to do business for up to 10 days. A second violation in three years means permanent revocation.

“When a business shuts down, where are they going to work?” asked Magruder.

Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox said fears of “racial profiling” may result in “a mass exodus of workers.” Wilcox, who also owns a Mexican restaurant in Phoenix, said companies that lose some of their work force will be unable to stay in business and have to lay everyone else off.

Besides backing court action to overturn the law, the coalition, which now has about 15 members, hopes to persuade voters to defeat an even tougher measure that may be on the 2008 ballot, possibly by launching a competing initiative more favorable to employers.

The campaign, however, started with some name calling.

Magruder, who owns seven McDonald’s franchises, said Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, architect of the law, would not negotiate in good faith during the legislative session.

“You can’t reason with hatred,” Magruder said. Asked later if he believes Pearce is a racist, Magruder said, “I mean, something walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I wonder if it is.”

Pearce, however, noted the law punishes only firms that knowingly or intentionally hire undocumented workers, which Pearce said protects other companies that hire only legal U.S. residents from unfair competition.

He said Magruder “wanted employer amnesty.”

“Anytime they run out of arguments . . . they throw out the race card,” Pearce said. “These are folks who simply don’t want the law enforced.”

Magruder said companies try to follow proper procedures, checking Social Security numbers and filling out federal hiring checklists. But he conceded someone must be hiring people who crossed the border illegally.

“What happens is, if you even start questioning those documents you can be sued for profiling,” Magruder said. “The business guy is really between a rock and hard place.”

Coalition members said the state should stay out of issues surrounding illegal immigration. But Gov. Janet Napolitano, who signed the measure, said that isn’t an option.

“The failure of this administration, this Congress to pass immigration reform in a comprehensive manner has serious repercussions for the states,” she said Tuesday.

Here is a list of “The Wake Up Coalition of Greed Fueled Law-Breaking Asshats”.  I should add that I know two of the people on this list.  I am a little surprised to see their names here however, I also know that each of these two individuals is the type to put personal profits above moral conviction.  So, I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised.

• Mac Magruder, owns McDonald’s franchises

• Ray Arvizu, owns Arvizu Advertising & Promotions, a Hispanic marketing firm

• Tom Barnett, owns Good Egg and Eggery restaurants and Burger King franchises

• Steve Chucri, president, Arizona Restaurant Association

I.C.E. Not Very Interested In Illegal Alien Reports

 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

ICE is located on the Internet at http://www.ice.gov/

If you call any ICE office to report illegal aliens, they refer you to the “Tip Line” at 1-866-347-2423.

Here you are given the option of pressing 1 for help with immigration and obtaining citizenship and pressing 2 to report illegal or suspicious activity. Of course, they warn you that you will be prosecuted for giving false information and then say that all personnel are busy please stay on the line. Then you are disconnected. Repeated calls get the same treatment and then are disconnected.

Ok, I’ve had about as much of this as I can take.  I am fed up with our government turning their heads and letting this invasion and all the vermin associated with it run rampant.  The Guy From Boston speaks for me on the subject.

Tell the youngins’ to leave the room.  If you’re easily offended by real and passionate street language… then don’t watch the tape. 

Ladies and Gentlemen,  The Guy From Boston.
