JUDGE
SOTOMAYOR, SIMPLY OBAMA IN A SKIRT?
A
WALL STREET ASS LICKING LA RAZA SUPREMACIST
VIVA LA RAZA?
Supreme
Court Nominee Member Of Mexican La Raza Group
May 28, 2009
President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee is a
member of an influential extremist Mexican La Raza group that advocates open
borders and driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants.
Judge Sonia
Sotomayor is listed as a member of the National Council of La Raza in an American Bar Association profile discovered by a news organization dedicated
to exposing public corruption. The appeals court judge has already ignited
a firestorm for publicly saying that a jurist’s ethnicity and sex will make a
difference in their judging.
The La Raza membership is a fiery compliment to the
now infamous
Berkeley
speech in which Sotomayor said: “I would hope that a wise Latina
woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a
better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
The National
Council of La Raza describes itself as the largest Latino civil rights and
advocacy organization in the United States, but it actually caters to the
radical Chicano movement that says California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and
parts of Colorado and Texas belong to Aztlan.
The takeover plan is referred to as the
"reconquista"
of the Western U.S. and it features ethnic cleansing of Americans, Europeans,
Africans and Asians once the area is taken back and converted to Aztlan. While
this may all sound a bit crazy, this organization is quite powerful and its
leaders regularly attend congressional hearings regarding immigration. The La
Raza council also receives millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars each year.
Obama even violated his own lobbyist ban to hire a top National Council of La Raza
official (Cecilia Munoz) as director of intergovernmental affairs. Munoz
supervised all legislative and advocacy activities on the state and local
levels and was heavily involved in the congressional immigration battles before
the president issued an “ethics waiver” to make her part of his administration.
In return, the La Raza council has strongly
supported Obama while never the less pressuring him to do more for the race.
The group was quick to issue a
press release
lauding the president’s “historic appointment” of Sotomayor to the nation’s
highest court, calling it a “monumental day for Latinos.” No mention of the
judge’s membership in the group, however.
Sonia Sotomayor opposes E-Verify
requirement
True to form, she said it was
illegal to make employers e-verify citizen status of new hires.
Interesting, she says a state cannot force employers to check if employees they
are hiring are illegal. Thankfully the court ruled 5-3 supporting law. But now
we know for sure just how extreme far left Obama's choice was. We cannot afford
Obama to get another term, or you can bet this country will be overrun by
illegals. I don't want this country to be poor and corrupt like Mexico, which
it will if illegals overrun the country.

Obama
Administration Challenges Arizona E-Verify Law
The Obama
administration has asked the Supreme Court to strike down a 2007 Arizona law that punishes employers who hire
illegal aliens, a law enacted by then-Governor Janet Napolitano. (Solicitor General's Amicus Curiae
Brief).
Called the “Legal Arizona Workers Act,” the law requires all employers in
Arizona to use E-Verify and provides that the business licenses of those who
hire illegal workers shall be repealed. From the date of enactment, the
Chamber of Commerce and other special interest groups have been trying to undo
it, attacking it through a failed ballot initiative and also through a lawsuit.
Now the Chamber is asking the United States Supreme Court to hear the case (Chamber
of Commerce v. Candelaria), and the Obama Administration is weighing in
against the law.
To date,
Arizona’s E-Verify law has been upheld by all lower courts, including the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit, in particular, viewed it as an
exercise of a state’s traditional power to regulate businesses. (San Francisco Chronicle, June 2, 2010). Obama’s
Justice Department, however, disagrees. Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal
said in his filing with the Supreme Court that the lower courts were wrong to
uphold the statute because federal immigration law expressly preempts any state
law imposing sanctions on employers hiring illegal immigrants. Mr. Katyal
argues that this is not a licensing law, but “a statute that prohibits the
hiring of unauthorized aliens and uses suspension and revocation of all
state-issued licenses as its ultimate sanction.” (Solicitor General's Amicus Curiae
Brief, p.
10). This is the administration’s first court challenge to a state’s
authority to act against illegal immigration, and could be a preview of the
battle brewing over Arizona’s recent illegal immigration crackdown through SB
1070.
Napolitano
has made no comment on the Department of Justice’s decision to challenge the
2007 law, but federal officials said that she has taken an active part in the
debate over whether to do so. (Politico, May 28, 2010). As
Governor of Arizona, Napolitano said she believed the state law was valid and
became a defendant in the many lawsuits against it. (Id.).

Sotomayor’s record: A judicial
pragmatist and defender of corporate interests … WHICH
MAKES HER AN OBAMA IN A SKIRT
By Don Knowland
17 July 2009
As a nominee to the US Supreme
Court, Sonia Sotomayor is reliable defender of corporate interests, siding with
big business, government authority and the police far more than with the poor,
the arrested or the oppressed. With 17 years on the federal courts, the most of
any Supreme Court nominee in more than half a century, she is anything but an
unknown quantity.
In her five years as a federal
district court trial judge, Sotomayor issued hundreds of written decisions. In
12 years on the appellate court, she has been the principal author of over 150
opinions. She joined in the majority opinion in over 350 cases.
A survey of her written decisions
reveals a jurist firmly wedded to the bourgeois mainstream, particularly when
business interests are at stake, and not given to sweeping formulations. The New
York Times legal correspondent assigned to cover the Supreme Court wrote
that Sotomayor’s opinions “reveal no larger vision, seldom appeal to history
and consistently avoid quotable language.”
A Congressional Research Service
analysis found that Sotomayor’s rulings could not be easily categorized in
ideological terms, and “showed an adherence to precedent, an emphasis on the
facts of a case, and an avoidance of overstepping the court’s judicial role.”
According to one of Sotomayor’s
former law clerks, “She is a rule-bound pragmatist-very geared toward
determining what the right answer is and what the law dictates...” Sotomayor
herself has professed to follow a narrow “just the facts” approach to judicial
decision-making, a style described by some as judicial minimalism.
However, when important issues arise
that affect more fundamental interests of the ruling elite, such as national
security matters or big economic questions, Sotomayor comes down invariably on
the side of the establishment, at the expense of the majority of society.
A
law-and-order judge
As with most former prosecutors, Sotomayor
has a negative if not hostile view of the rights of those accused of crimes.
Encomiums from her former associates at the Manhattan District Attorney’s
office and various New York and national police organizations were read into
the record of her confirmation hearing.
According to Leroy Frazer Jr., first
assistant district attorney in Manhattan and a former colleague of Sotomayor,
she “has contributed greatly to law enforcement in New York” as a judge. John
Siffert, an attorney who taught appellate advocacy with Sotomayor at New York
University School of Law for ten years, confirms that she is loath to overturn
criminal convictions. “She was not viewed as a pro-defense judge” while she sat
as a trial judge, Siffert told the press.
One decision Sotomayor authored as
an appellate judge upheld the use of evidence police seized mistakenly,
thinking they had a warrant. The Supreme Court’s five-justice conservative bloc
came to the same conclusion this year, over the dissent of the court’s four
moderate justices. Jeffrey Fisher, a Stanford Law School professor who was on
the losing side of the January Supreme Court decision, said Judge Sotomayor’s
ruling displayed her “willingness to give police the benefit of the doubt.”
One case decided by Sotomayor as an
appellate judge involved the timeliness of the habeas corpus petition
filed by a prisoner convicted of murder and rape. Congress had only recently
passed President Bill Clinton’s Anti-Terrorism-Effective Death Penalty Act,
which imposed a one-year time limit on such petitions. Confusion existed in the
federal courts regarding how the new law would be applied to pending cases.
Following the advice of a court clerk, the defendant’s attorney mailed in
rather than filed the appeal the day it was due.
Sotomayor and her colleagues on the
case refused to consider the petition, ruling that it was untimely and that its
lateness was not excusable. They also summarily brushed off the defendant’s
claim to innocence, even though guilt was based on a confession the police coerced
when the defendant was 17. The defendant then spent six more years in jail
before DNA testing conclusively established his innocence.
Capital
and labor
While frequently dissenting against reactionary rulings on
issues involving democratic rights, the four-justice moderate bloc on the
Supreme Court has increasingly tended to join the court’s right wing in
favoring big business over workers and consumers where their economic interests
are explicitly counterposed, as in cases involving punitive damage awards
against giant corporations.
Sotomayor is unlikely to buck that
trend. She currently sits in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which hears
the most important appeals affecting Wall Street and the financial industry.
That court’s 2006 decision strongly favored Wall Street in a group of cases
involving thousands of investors suing dozens of the largest banks and
investment houses, including Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse,
Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and the now defunct Bear Stearns
and Lehman Brothers. The plaintiffs charged massive fraud involving
manipulation of the market for initial public offerings of company shares. Such
schemes played a major role in inflating the dot.com and telecom bubbles.
As a practical matter, the
plaintiffs in the case could proceed only if they could band together for class
actions. The appellate ruling dismissed the cases on the basis that questions
as to what information and assurances individual plaintiffs relied on in
purchasing shares precluded finding sufficient commonality to permit the cases
to proceed on a class action basis. This amounted to an extremely strained
reading of the rules regarding class action suits and reduced the value of the
plaintiffs’ recovery by many billions of dollars.
Sotomayor’s most well known decision
as a district court judge involved her issuing an injunction in 1995 against
baseball team owners during the longest strike in baseball history, which
followed an owner lock-out of players. Sotomayor ruled that the National
Relations Labor Board had cause to believe that baseball owners committed
unfair labor practices by eliminating free agency and salary arbitration provisions
of the expired collective bargaining agreement. She ordered the owners to
bargain in good faith on those issues. The strike then ended.
As an appellate judge, Sotomayor has
favored working class plaintiffs mainly in disability cases. In one case,
Sotomayor ruled that New York did not sufficiently accommodate a dyslexic
applicant taking the bar examination.
Sotomayor dissented in a 2003 case
brought by the federal Equal Opportunity Employment Commission against a major
trucking company relating to discrimination against drivers who took medication
that the company believed impaired driving. Federal regulations provide that
discrimination occurs if a company perceives that a worker or workers have an
impairment as to a “class of jobs” compared to average persons of comparable
skill, as opposed to single jobs. The majority dismissed the case, saying that
the evidence showed only that the employer perceived the drivers as incapable
of long-distance, stressful driving jobs. Sotomayor argued that there was
sufficient evidence that the employer perceived the impairment to extend to any
truck driving jobs, an entire “class of jobs,” such that the case should
proceed to trial.
Constitutional
rights
Outside of the criminal case
context, Sotomayor has shown some favor toward suits challenging violation of
the Fourth Amendment probable cause and warrant requirements and due process
rights.
In a 2002 case, Sotomayor wrote that
New York City’s policy of seizing and then keeping for an extended period of
time, sometimes for years, vehicles used by alleged drunk drivers or in other
misdemeanor crimes violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution.
The City’s ordinance permitted it to
file a civil case seeking the forfeiture of vehicles of those found guilty. But
the forfeiture cases were often deferred for many months or even years, while
the underlying criminal cases were resolved. Sotomayor’s ruling required a
meaningful hearing at a meaningful time as to whether the vehicle’s owner could
recover it. Her decision reversed the trial court ruling of then-District Judge
Michael Mukasey, who later became George Bush’s last attorney general.
In a case seeking damages for a
house search based on a flawed warrant, Sotomayor dissented in order to
challenge the formulation used by the majority to define when a police officer
is entitled to “qualified immunity” from suit for such a violation. The Supreme
Court excuses an officer from such constitutional violations unless the law is
so clear that an objectively reasonable officer could not believe his conduct
is lawful. Sotomayor objected to her circuit’s formulation of this defense that
gave police officers extra latitude in meeting that standard.
Sotomayor wrote a 2006 opinion
approving suspicionless searches of passenger carry-on luggage and car trunks
before boarding a ferry, based on the government’s purported interest in
deterring terrorist attacks on large vessels engaged in mass transportation.
She joined another decision that struck down a portion of the Patriot Act
relating to disclosure of National Security Letters on First Amendment grounds.
In a 2002 case, Sotomayor authored
an opinion that gave prison officials wide latitude to infringe prisoner First
Amendment rights by withholding incoming mail if they could articulate some
security justification for such action. In other cases, Sotomayor has granted
latitude to prisoners in exercising religious rights.

SOTOMAYOR… LA RAZA SUPREMACIST
She said the nation is "deeply confused" about
the proper role of race and ethnic identity, and she maintained that her
identity as a Latina shaped her life and her work in court. She hoped "a
wise Latina" would reach a "better conclusion" than a white
male, she said on several occasions.
Speeches reveal more about Sotomayor's thoughts on race
The Senate Judiciary Committee receives a file on the
Supreme Court nominee's life from Princeton onward. She has spoken on other
occasions of ethnic identity and her hopes about 'wise Latina' judges.
By David G. Savage
June 5, 2009
Reporting from Washington — Judge Sonia Sotomayor, already facing controversy
for a 2001 speech on the virtue of having "a wise Latina" as a judge,
made similar comments in a series of speeches released Thursday.
She said the nation is "deeply
confused" about the proper role of race and ethnic identity, and she
maintained that her identity as a Latina shaped her life and her work in court.
She hoped "a wise Latina" would reach a "better conclusion"
than a white male, she said on several occasions.
Since her nomination, conservative activists have cited the comment as
evidence that she would rule based on her ethnic identity.
President Obama sought to defuse the criticism last week. "I'm sure she
would have restated it," he said, adding that she was "simply saying
that her life experience will give her information about the struggles and
hardships that people are going through."
The speeches were among a thick file, including court opinions and financial
documents, that the White House sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee on
Thursday. They cover 35 years of Sotomayor's life, from her days as a Princeton
student through her time as a prosecutor, corporate lawyer, trial judge and
appeals court judge.
She reported a net worth of $740,000, consisting mostly of her $1.1-million
condominium in New York City. She has a $381,000 mortgage and about $31,000 in
the bank. She reported owning no stocks, bonds or mutual funds.
She said that White House Counsel Gregory Craig first contacted her about the
Supreme Court vacancy on April 27 -- five days before Justice David H. Souter
publicly announced he was retiring.
In a speech at Princeton in 1996, she said: "I began a lifelong commitment
to identifying myself as a Latina" while at Princeton, "taking pride
in being Hispanic, and in recognizing my obligation to help my community reach
its fullest potential in this society."
She added: "I underscore that in saying this I am not promoting ethnic
segregation. I am promoting just the opposite: an ethnic identity and pride
which impels us to work with others in the larger society to achieve
advancement for the people of our cultures."
"America has a deeply confused image of itself that is a perpetual source
of tension," she said at a 2006 gathering of Latino students at Yale Law
School. "We are a nation that takes pride in our ethnic diversity,
recognizing its importance in shaping our society and in adding richness to its
existence. Yet we simultaneously insist that we can and must function and live
in a race- and colorblind way that ignores those very differences that in other
contexts we laud."
She said that the Supreme Court was "just as fractured" as society
over the role of race in public decisions, such as college affirmative action.
"This tension leads many of us to struggle with maintaining and promoting
our cultural and ethnic identities in a society that is often ambivalent about
to how to deal with its differences," she said.
Sotomayor repeated that she disagreed with a comment attributed to Justice
Sandra Day O'Connor that "a wise old man and a wise old woman reach the
same conclusion" in deciding cases. "I'm not so sure that I agree
with the statement," she said at Seton Hall Law in 2003. "I would
hope a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would, more often
than not, reach a better conclusion."
Two years earlier, at the UC Berkeley law school, she said she hoped the "wise Latina" would reach "a
better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
She said the nation is "deeply
confused" about the proper role of race and ethnic identity, and she
maintained that her identity as a Latina shaped her life and her work in court.
She hoped "a wise Latina" would reach a "better conclusion"
than a white male, she said on several occasions.

saturated with racism, yet in denial, having never endured the social
development of a Civil Rights movement like in the US--Blacks are harshly
treated while foreign Whites are often seen as the enemy. [22.3] In fact,
racism as workplace discrimination can be seen across the US anywhere the
illegal alien Latino works--the vast majority of the workforce is usually
strictly Latino, excluding Blacks, Whites, Asians, and others.”

These attitudes are institutionalized in the courses they
take from ethnic studies departments and in the organizations they join. This
homeland was lost to the “brutal ‘gringo’ invasion,” and the goal of the “Plan”
is the reconquest” of that lost homeland,
and restitution for that historical crime. The racist drift of all this is
apparent in the motto of MEChA: “For the Race everything, outside the Race,
nothing.” “Many universities, for example, have chapters of a group called
MEChA, the “National Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán,” the mythical land
allegedly stolen by Americans in the Mexican War. This fantasy history claims
that the whole Southwest was once Aztlán, the homeland of La Raza, the “bronze”
race, who are “the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of
Aztlán from whence came our forefathers,” as the “Plan of Aztlán” puts it.
What Obama’s Quick Illegal Immigrant Fix Ignores
Posted By Bruce Thornton On June 19, 2012 @ 12:23 am In Daily
Mailer,FrontPage
America’s
ward-heeler-in-chief just bought some votes with the policy equivalent of a keg
of beer and a slab of bacon. Obama’s memorandum to Homeland Security head
Napolitano to stop the deportation of illegal aliens brought here as children
and granting them work permits bypassed Congress, that branch of government our
quaint Constitution makes responsible for such policy. Obama said so himself
last year when he reminded people that he couldn’t “change the law
unilaterally” and “We have to pass bills through the legislature and then I can
sign it.” But the need to stanch the bleeding from a week of economic bad news
for his reelection campaign has given the president Constitutional amnesia. If
Obama had been sincerely interested in crafting a legal, bipartisan, permanent
solution to this problem, he could have negotiated with Florida Republican
Senator Marco Rubio, who has crafted a more sensible solution than last year’s
Dream Act, and worked through Congress. But the
need to throw some goodies to Latino voters in several swing states critical
for his own reelection was more important than actually governing according to
the Constitution.
Obama’s accompanying
rationale for this decision, moreover, was full of unexamined assumptions and
sentiments. “These are young people who study in our schools, they play in our
neighborhoods, they’re friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to our
flag. They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way
but one: on paper,” Obama said. They “face the threat of deportation to a
country that [they] know nothing about, with a language that [they] may not
even speak.” They “for all intents and purposes, are Americans. They’ve been
raised as Americans, understand themselves to be part of this country.” All
those statements are loaded with begged questions that point to the bigger
problem we have with immigration both legal and illegal––the question of
national identity and national loyalty.
No doubt, many of these
young immigrants match Obama’s description. I’d bet that those who have served
in the military do. But many do not,
particularly the university students usually showcased by their champions. From
my years of experience as a teacher in a university about half Hispanic,
hundreds of them illegal immigrants mostly from Mexico, I know that many see
themselves as Mexican or Chicano first, and Americans second, if at all. They travel to Mexico and speak Spanish,
and have imbibed an anti-Americanism that casts them as victims of American
imperialism and racism who deserve reparations for those historical crimes.
These attitudes are institutionalized in the courses they
take from ethnic studies departments and in the organizations they join. This
homeland was lost to the “brutal ‘gringo’ invasion,” and the goal of the “Plan”
is the reconquest” of that lost
homeland, and restitution for that historical crime. The racist drift of all
this is apparent in the motto of MEChA: “For the Race everything, outside the
Race, nothing.” “Many universities, for example, have chapters of a group
called MEChA, the “National Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán,” the mythical
land allegedly stolen by Americans in the Mexican War. This fantasy history
claims that the whole Southwest was once Aztlán, the homeland of La Raza, the “bronze”
race, who are “the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of
Aztlán from whence came our forefathers,” as the “Plan of Aztlán” puts it.
Obviously, MEChA scorns assimilation to American culture
and identity, promoting instead a Mexican identity called “Chicanismo,” which
“involves a personal decision to reject assimilation and work towards the
preservation of our cultural heritage” and the recovery of a “bronze culture
for a bronze people.” Thus MEChA “is
committed to ending the cultural tyranny suffered at the hands of institutional
and systematic discrimination that holds our Gente [people] captive.” If you
need further evidence that this ideology is hostile to American culture and
identity, consider a poem published at California State University Fresno in La
Voz de Aztlán, a state-subsidized campus newspaper that functions as
MEChA’s house organ: “America the land robbed by the white savage / the land of
the biggest genocide / the home of intolerance / the place where dreams come to
die / the place of greed and slavery,” and so on for another two dozen lines.
Clearly, students who accept
such an ideology are hardly going to be “Americans in their heart, in their
minds, in every single way,” as the president claimed. Rather, they will
identify themselves as victims of America from which they feel alienated. They
will not believe, like earlier immigrants, that living in America allows them
to improve their lives by enjoying the freedom and economic opportunity
unavailable to them in their ancestral country. Rather, they will think that
they are owed reparations from the country that unjustly stole a region of
their true homeland. As the Chicano activist slogan goes, “We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.” This
historical lie justifies ignoring the responsibilities immigrants to the United
States traditionally have accepted, which is to assimilate to the country they
live in by accepting its language, traditions, and political principles. With
the mythic history of unjust displacement, however, the burden is now on the
mainstream culture to adapt to and accommodate the culture of those it
allegedly oppressed and robbed of their land. The
dominant culture must expiate its historical crimes with various sorts of
reparations and entitlements, particularly special consideration for illegal
aliens like free tuition in public universities, drivers licenses, welfare and
health care, or quasi-amnesties such as the Dream Act.
Such a legitimization of
illegal aliens thus is merely part of what the “Plan of Aztlán” calls
“restitution”: “Restitution for past economic slavery, political exploitation,
ethnic and cultural psychological destruction and denial of civil and human
rights.” A “reconquest” impossible by force will be achieved through demography
and the abandonment of the old model of assimilation, in an attempt to make
California more like the culture illegal aliens risk their lives to leave, and
less like the America that has given them greater freedom and opportunity.
We should not simply
assume, then, as the president and other supporters of amnesty do, that people
here illegally consider themselves Americans and give America their loyalty
just because they were brought here as children. No doubt many do, but how do
we know? We need to figure out a way to vet all immigrants to this
country to ensure that we give the privilege of citizenship only to those who
will not subordinate being an American to being something else. Given how
thoroughly multicultural identity politics, predicated on American crime and
oppression, permeates schools, popular culture, and government programs, merely
living the bulk of one’s life here is no guarantee of American identity.
Determining whether or not immigrants, including those brought here as
children, truly understand and accept the core principles and values of our
political order is the most serious challenge we face in dealing with 11
million illegal immigrants.
Obama’s quick-fix may win
him some votes, but it does nothing to make sure residence in the country is
reserved only for those immigrants who understand why America is exceptional,
feel blessed to live here, and are proud to be Americans.

Training the Next Generation of Mexican Revolutionaries?

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates
and prosecutes corruption, today announced the release of a special report,
Academia Semillas del Pueblo (Seeds of the People Academy): Training the Next
Generation of Mexican Revolutionaries with American Tax Dollars. Judicial
Watch’s report includes excerpts of new documents obtained by Judicial Watch
through the California Public Records Act that highlight the school’s radical
agenda. According to the report’s introduction: “Academia Semillas del Pueblo
is not much more than a training ground for the Mexican reconquista movement,
which seeks to conquer the American Southwest – by force or by ballot box – and
return it to Mexico.” Among the highlights of Judicial Watch’s special report:
· Academia is led by Mexican revolutionary radical Marcos Aguilar, who recently
told an interviewer with UCLA’s Teaching to change L.A.: “We don’t necessarily
want to go to White schools¼the White way, the American way,
the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own
destruction.” · Academia offers an 8th grade United States history and
geography class entitled, “A People’s history of Expansion and Conflict – A
thematic survey of American politics, society, culture and political economy;
Emphasis throughout on the nations the U.S. usurped, invaded and dominated;
Connections between historical rise of capitalism and imperialism with modern
political economy and global social relations.” · Academia is funded by
the Mexican reconquista organization “National Council of La Raza.” Moreover,
Aguilar previously served as a leader of M.E.Ch.A., a radical student-run
Chicano organization, while attending UCLA. According to M.E.Ch.A.’s official
statement of principles, “Aztlan (the American southwest) belongs to indigenous
people, who are sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture¼We are a union of free
pueblos forming a bronze Nation.” · According to Academia’s original charter application, the
school targets “communities [that] are highly self-identified as Latino.”
English instruction for Academia’s students does not begin until the fourth
grade. “Marcos Aguilar’s school seems to be brainwashing school children with
Mexican separatist, anti-American, Marxist propaganda, and getting American
taxpayers to pay for it,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “How could the Los Angeles Unified School
District agree to fund this sham of a school with tax dollars?”

NATIONAL COUNSEL OF LA RAZA – THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY IN
U.S. FUNDED WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS BY BARACK OBAMA.
NCLR Funding
Skyrockets After Obama Hires Its VP
06/17/2011
A Judicial Watch investigation reveals that federal funding for a Mexican La
Raza group that for years has raked in millions of taxpayer dollars has
skyrocketed since one of its top officials got a job in the Obama White House.
The influential and politically-connected National Council of La Raza (NCLR)
has long benefitted from Uncle Sam's largess but the group has made a killing
since Obama hired its senior vice president (Cecilia Muñoz) in 2009 to be his
director of intergovernmental affairs.
Ignored by the mainstream media, Judicial Watch covered the appointment because
the president issued a special "ethics waiver" to bring Muñoz aboard
since it violated his own lobbyist ban. At the pro illegal immigration NCLR,
Muñoz supervised all legislative and advocacy activities on the state and local
levels and she was heavily involved in the congressional immigration battles
that took place in the George W. Bush Administration.
She also brought in a steady flow of government cash that's allowed the
Washington D.C.-based group to expand nationwide and promote its leftist,
open-borders agenda via a network of community organizations dedicated to
serving Latinos.Among them are a variety of local groups that provide social
services, housing counseling and farm worker assistance as well as
publicly-funded charter schools that promote radical Chicano curriculums.
Judicial Watch published a special report on this a few years ago.
This week a JW probe has uncovered details of the alarming increase in federal
funding that these NCLR groups have received since Muñoz joined the Obama
Administration. In fact, the government cash more than doubled the year Muñoz
joined the White House, from $4.1 million to $11 million.
Not surprisingly, a big chunk of the
money (60%) came from the Department of Labor, which is headed by a former
California congresswoman (Hilda Solis) with close ties to the La Raza movement.
Since Obama named her Labor Secretary, Solis has launched a nationwide campaign
to protect illegal immigrant workers in the U.S. Just this week Solis penned
declarations with Guatemala and Nicaragua to preserve the rights of their
migrants.
The NCLR also received additional taxpayer dollars from other federal
agencies in 2010, the JW probe found. The Department of Housing and Urban
Development doled out $2.5 million for housing counseling, the Department of
Education contributed nearly $800,000 and the Centers for Disease Control a
quarter of a million.
Additionally, NCLR affiliates nationwide raked in tens of millions of
government grant and recovery dollars last year thanks to the Muñoz factor. An
offshoot called Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) saw its federal funding nearly
double to $18.3 million following Muñoz' appointment.
A social service and legal assistance organization (Ayuda Inc.) that didn't
receive any federal funding between 2005 and 2008 got $600,000 in 2009 and
$548,000 in 2010 from the Department of Justice. The group provides immigration
law services and guarantees confidentiality to assure illegal aliens that they
won't be reported to authorities.

THESE LA RAZA POLITICIANS HAVE WON HIGHER OFFICES WITH THE VOTES OF ILLEGALS.

POSSIBLE AND VIOLENCE IF NECESSARY!”
Agendas
of MEChA, La Raza, MALDEF, and Southwest Voter Registration Projects These are
transcripts of live, recorded statements by elected U.S. politicians, college
professors, and pro-illegal alien activists whose objective is to take control
of our country "by vote if possible and violence if necessary!" 1.
Armando Navarro, Prof. Ethnic Studies, UC Riverside at Latino Summit Response
to Prop 187, UC Riverside, 1/1995
"These
are the critical years for us as a Latino community. We're in a state of
transition. And that transformation is called 'the browning of America'.
Latinos are now becoming the majority. Because I know that time and history is
on the side of the Chicano/Latino community. It is changing in the future and
in the present the balance of power of this nation. It's a game - it's a game
of power - who controls it. You (to
MEChA students) are like the generals that command armies. We're in a state of
war. This Proposition 187 is a declaration of war against the
Latino/Chicano community of this country. They know the demographics. They know
that history and time is on our side. As one community, as one people, as one
nation within a nation as the community that we are, the Chicano/Latino community
of this nation. What this means is a transfer of power. It means control."

Your
Tax Dollars To Fund Illegal Immigration
United

fund the pro-illegal immigration group: The National Council of La Raza (NCLR).
This bill, the Hope Fund Act of 2007 (H.R. 1999) would appropriate $5 million
to NCLR in 2008 and $10 million each year thereafter.

ALIEN NATION – THE INVASION, OCCUPATION AND RISE OF MEXICAN
FASCISM IN OUR BORDERS:
Titled
"ALIEN NATION," the issue is subtitled "SECRETS OF THE INVASION:
Why government invites rampant illegal immigration." Indeed, it reveals
pivotal secrets very few Americans know.
For example:
Did you know that radical immigrant groups – including the League of United
Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the Mexican American Legal Defense and
Educational Fund (MALDEF), the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) and the National Council of La Raza (La Raza)
– not only share a revolutionary agenda of conquering America's southwest,
but they also share common funding sources, notably the Ford and Rockefeller
foundations?
''California is going to be a Hispanic
state," said Mario Obeldo, former head of MALDEF. "Anyone who does
not like it should leave." And MEChA's goal is even more radical: an independent
''Aztlan,'' the collective name this organization gives to the seven states of
the U.S. Southwest – Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,
Texas and Utah. So why would the Rockefeller and Ford foundations support such
groups? Joseph Farah tells the story in this issue of Whistleblower.
Why have America's politicians – of both major parties – allowed the illegal
alien invasion of this nation to continue for the last 30 years unabated? With
al-Qaida and allied terrorists promising to annihilate major U.S. cities with
nuclear weapons, with some big-city hospital emergency rooms near closure due
to the crush of so many illegals, with the rapid spread throughout the U.S. of
MS-13, the super-violent illegal alien gang – with all this and more, why do
U.S. officials choose to ignore the laws of the land and the will of the people
to pursue, instead, policies of open borders and lax immigration enforcement?
The answers to all this and much more are in Whistleblower's "ALIEN
NATION" issue.
Is there hope? Or is America lost to a demographic invasion destined to
annihilate its traditional Judeo-Christian culture, and to the ever-growing
likelihood that nuclear-armed jihadists will cross our porous borders and wreak
unthinkable destruction here?
There most definitely is hope, according to this issue of Whistleblower.
Although most politicians of both major political parties have long since
abdicated their responsibility for securing America's borders and dealing
effectively with the millions already here illegally, there are a few
exceptions – most notably Colorado Rep.
Tom Tancredo.
May's Whistleblower includes an exclusive sneak preview of Tancredo's
forthcoming blockbuster book Mortal Danger: The Battle for America’s Border and
Security." In an extended excerpt, Whistleblower presents Tencredo's expert
and inspired analysis of exactly how to solve the nation's most vexing problem.

WIKILEAKS HAS EXPOSED OBAMA’S
AGENDA OF A BORDERLESS U.S. – NARCOMEX! EVEN AS HE HAS SQUANDERED BILLIONS
PROTECTING MUSLIM DICTATORS’ BORDERS.
17. Tom
Tancredo, U.S. Congressman from Colorado,, speaking on CSPAN, 6/27/2001
"In the June 21 issue of Time Magazine, the lead story of which is titled,
"AMEXICO". It describes the de facto elimination of the border
between Mexico and the United States. I believe that the debate revolving
around our immigration policy should reflect the fact that this phenomenon is
underway. President Fox (of Mexico) yesterday stated that he came to the United
States to "play a more active role in establishing the new international
architecture". I believe that this new "international
architecture" can be described as AMEXICO.
WE ARE MEXICO’S WELFARE and PRISON SYSTEMS!
“Mexico’s government has
provided its nationals with valuable tools to help them cross the border safely
but Dominguez is the first American resident, with a salary provided by U.S.
taxpayers, to openly promote such a gadget. A few years ago Mexican officials
published a 32-page booklet (Guia Del Migrante Mexicano) with safety
tips for border crossers and distributed hand-held satellite devices to ensure
the violators complete their journey safely.”

FIFTEEN THINGS YOU
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LA RAZA “THE RACE”
by Michelle Malkin
Only in
America could critics of a group called "The Race" be labeled
racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity chauvinists, whose
aggressive activists and supine abettors have succeeded in redefining all
opposition as "hate."
Both Barack Obama and John McCain will speak this
week in San Diego at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza,
the Latino organization whose name is Spanish for, yes, "The Race."
Can you imagine Obama and McCain paying homage to a group of white people who
called themselves that? No matter. The presidential candidates and the media
have legitimized "The Race" as a mainstream ethnic lobbying group and
marginalized its critics as intolerant bigots. The unvarnished truth is that
the group is a radical ethnic nationalist outfit that abuses your tax dollars
and milks PC politics to undermine our sovereignty.
*
Here are 15 things you should know about "The
Race":
*
15. "The Race" supports driver's licenses
for illegal aliens.
*
14."The Race" demands in-state tuition
discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding U.S.
citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.
*
13. "The Race" vehemently opposes
cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state and federal
authorities.
*
12. "The Race" opposes a secure fence on
the southern border.
*
11. "The Race" joined the American-Arab
Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds
from entering immigration information into a key national crime database -- and
to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.
*
10. "The Race" opposed the state of
Oklahoma's tough immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to
illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions and strengthened local-federal
cooperation and information sharing.
*
9. "The Race" joined other open-borders,
anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227, California's
bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.
*
8. "The Race" bitterly protested
common-sense voter ID provisions as an "absolute disgrace."
*
7. "The Race" has consistently opposed
post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.
*
6. Former "Race" president Raul Yzaguirre,
Hillary Clinton's Hispanic outreach adviser, said this: "U.S. English is
to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." He was referring to U.S.
English, the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action group dedicated to
preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States.
"The Race" also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised
the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding
the terms "illegal" and "amnesty."
*
5. "The Race" gives mainstream cover to a
poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil
Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA). The late GOP
Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized the organization as "a radical
racist group … one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has
permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a
racist nation out of the American West."
*
4. "The Race" is currently leading a smear
campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV
and cable news networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the
airwaves -- in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up
their foes. The New York Times reported that current "Race" president
Janet Murguia believes "hate speech" should "not be tolerated,
even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights."
*
3. "The Race" sponsors militant ethnic
nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8
million in federal education grants). The schools include Aztlan Academy in
Tucson, Ariz., the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz., Academia Cesar Chavez
Charter School in St. Paul, Minn., and La Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los
Angeles, whose principal inveighed: "We don't want to drink from a White
water fountain, we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of
collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don't need a White water fountain …
ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of
life will eventually lead to our own destruction."
*
2. "The Race" has perfected the art of the
PC shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home loan
standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal "mortgage
counseling" grants, seeking special multimillion-dollar earmarks and
partnering with banks that do business with illegal aliens.
*
1. "The Race" thrives on ethnic supremacy
-- and the elite sheeple's unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian
Victor Davis Hanson observes: "[The] organization's very nomenclature 'The
National Council of La Raza' is hate
speech to the core. Despite all the contortions of the group, Raza (as its
Latin cognate suggests) reflects the meaning of 'race' in Spanish, not 'the
people' -- and that's precisely why we don't hear of something like 'The
National Council of the People,' which would not confer the buzz notion of
ethnic, racial and tribal chauvinism."
