SOTOYMAYOR IS A CARD CARRYING MEMBER OF THE MEX FASCIST PARTY OF LA RAZA 'The Race' NOW CALLING ITSELF UNIDOSus.
Yet one judge, who worked for an open-borders group named El Centro Inc. and whose sister Janet Murguia is president of La Raza (now called UnidosUS), suddenly thinks conspiring to harbor and encourage illegal immigration violates the First Amendment. Carlos’ sister Mary (who is an identical twin to Janet)
Wise Latina' Sotomayor heaps praise on San Francisco's new far-left DA, Chesa Boudin
San Francisco, whether it knows it or not, should be bracing to get even more crime-ridden and hellish than it already is with the questionably rigged election of Chesa Boudin as the city's chief prosecutor.
Boudin, recall, vows to ignore quality-of life crimes; drop gang enhancement charges on gangsters; and pressure victims of violent crimes to opt for "restorative justice" instead of jail time, letting crooks off if they apologize. What could go wrong?
Not a problem for Wise Latina herself, Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor, who horned in on Boudin's inauguration, sending this far-to-the-far-leftist an unprecedented message of pride and praise:
Chesa, my court sessions resume next week so I am unable to join your inauguration ceremony. I sent you this message to tell you how much I admire you, and to wish you well in your new endeavors.
...and...
Your personal strength and commitment to reforming and improving the criminal justice system is a testament to the person you are and the role model you will continue to be for so many.Chesa, you have undertaken a remarkable challenge today. I hope you reflect as a great beacon to many, and the road to accomplishing what you have set out to do will be daunting. Nevertheless, the city of San Francisco will be so very well served by a man whose life creed is believing, as you told me 'We are all safer when we uplift victims, hold everyone accountable for their actions, and do so with empathy and compassion.'
There's plenty more to gag about in the entire text of the message, transcribed in the San Francisco Chronicle, here.
Three ways to unpack this Sotomayor glurge:
One, it's pretty unprofessional, which is sorry stuff coming from a supposedly straight-arrow Supreme Court justice. Not only is Boudin an elected official well outside the realm of supposedly impartial judges, but he could easily come into conflict with judges as a partisan prosecutor. His interests may well conflict with those of judges because they're not the same interests, and he sure as heck isn't about to be impartial. We already know he's partial to crooks. According to National Review's Ed Whelan:
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but it strikes me as highly unusual that a sitting Supreme Court justice — or any federal judge, for that matter — would publicly lavish such praise on an elected official, especially in the absence of a previous working relationship or close friendship that would give her a special basis for offering insights into his character. In fact, the only similar example that comes readily to mind is the troublingly partisan public cheerleading that Sotomayor, then on the Second Circuit, engaged in over the election of President Obama. But if anyone thinks I'm overlooking other examples, please let me know. (Statements at retirement ceremonies would seem to be readily distinguishable, but I'd still be interested in them.)I also don't think the fact that Boudin's position is legal or prosecutorial rather than purely political makes Sotomayor's embrace of him okay.
Two, it's nonsense. Sotomayor paints the rich, white, cosseted Boudin, who grew up with rich step-parents in the seat of luxury in Chicago, and then parsed their knowledge and connections to secure a very privileged spot for himself — as a victim. He was a victim, but a weird one — a victim whose step-parents were pillars of the establishment. Those step-parents, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, had been two radical far-left terrorists who, unlike his dad, got let off for their crimes and then went on to secure fancy university teaching professorships, something young Chesa benefited from as other kids didn't. "Guilty as hell, free as a bird," as Ayers put it. That's not exactly an advertisement for the success of justice or rule of law; it's an advertisement for lawbreaking and the failures of justice when leftists are around.
Yet in Sotomayor's world, Chesa's a victim and therefore a hero — and a hero in need of some kind of praise and encouragement, despite the guy being nearly 40 years old and well past the needs-a-mentor stage. Victim = Hero. She speaks of this guy's visiting his parents in jail as proof of his privation, yet there's nothing victim-y about it. Boudin shares his parents' exact values, which is why Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez took such a shine to him as radical royalty. Boudin's prison trips were more likely indoctrination sessions than burdensome visits.
Three, the whole thing is partisan, not a shared commitment to public service. Sotomayor is a far leftist, and reputedly a stupid one, unable to keep her partisanship to herself. The last time she was in the public eye she said she wanted to break a baseball bat over her fellow Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia for saying things she didn't agree with. Now instead of sticking with her profession, she's advocating for solidarity among far-leftists. This is bad stuff. What it shows is just how unfit she is for her office and how unfit Boudin is, too.
This doesn't look good.

VIVA
LA RAZA SUPREMACY?
The comparison to the Nazi
Party is well deserved. La Raza openly supports pushing all but Latino
Americans out of a portion of the United States (ethnic cleansing), they call
for 'Reconquista' or the re-conquest of the American Southwest by Mexico (the re-occupation
of the Sudetanland), and the establishment of 'Atzlan' which is the utopian
all-Latino version of the American Southwestern states (Adolf Hitler planned to
called his utopia Germania).
"Despite the fact that the majority
of documented hispanics oppose illegal immigration, as do the majority of
Americans, Aztlan and La Raza race hate groups have become the
self-appointed voice for a separatist movement that threatens a violent
overthrow of the Constitutional system and a barbaric program of ethnic
cleansing. This is held up by the media as 'diversity' and to vociferously
oppose it is scorned as racism."
Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General We are

Obama Funds the Mexican Fascist Party of 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."
The
fringe is the center. The center is the fringe. Viva La Raza.

THIS FUCKER IS WORSE THAN LA RAZA AND M.E.Ch.A. MEMBER
CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL XAVIER BECERRA!
Judge whose sister heads La Raza rules
130-year law against encouraging illegal immigrants is unconstitutional
https://www.conservativereview.com/news/judge-whose-sister-heads-la-raza-rules-130-year-law-encouraging-illegal-immigrants-unconstitutional/
Imagine if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or
Rashida Tlaib got to single-handedly veto sovereignty legislation dating back
to the 1880s just like a president could veto a new bill passed by Congress
this session. Imagine if they could unilaterally abolish ICE and declare open
borders, except, unlike a president, they wouldn’t have to stand for
re-election. Well, that is exactly the situation this week with a single
federal judge. Thanks to Republicans agreeing to the notion that judges – even
lower court judges – have direct veto power over legislation, a foundational
immigration law has just been “vetoed.”
KCUR-FM reports that on Wednesday, Judge Carlos
Murguia of the U.S. District Court of Kansas ruled, based on a Ninth Circuit
opinion, that 8 U.S.C. §1324, the law prohibiting someone from
“encouraging” or “inducing” illegal immigration, is an unconstitutional
infringement upon the First Amendment. In doing so, Murguia vacated the
convictions of two illegal aliens, Jose Felipe Hernandez-Calvillo and Mauro
Papalotzi, who were convicted in August 2018 by a jury for conspiring to
encourage illegal aliens to remain here through employment at a drywall company
in Lawrence, Kansas. Four others were originally indicted by a grand jury
in 2015.
This law has been on the books in some
form for over 130 years, and numerous federal courts have upheld convictions
based on §1324. Yet
one judge, who worked for an open-borders group named El Centro
Inc. and whose sister
Janet Murguia is president of La Raza (now called
UnidosUS), suddenly
thinks conspiring to harbor and encourage illegal immigration violates the
First Amendment. Carlos’ sister Mary (who is an identical twin to Janet) is a federal judge on the very Ninth Circuit Court from which he drew this opinion.
Judge Mary Murguia once recused herself from a trial involving pro-enforcement Sheriff
Joe Arpaio because
of her sister’s leadership of La Raza. Carlos should have done the same thing
this week in this case, which involves a law that directly conflicts with the
work with the open-borders groups his family is associated with.
Rather than rule based on the law, he
decided to adopt the ruling of the Ninth Circuit (which doesn’t have
jurisdiction in Kansas), which ruled last December that §1324 is
“unconstitutionally overbroad” because it “criminalizes a substantial amount of
protected expression.” “The court adopts (the 9th Circuit’s) analysis in full and
agrees that (the law) on its face is overbroad under the First
Amendment,” said Murguia in a brief bench ruling first reported by KCUR-FM.
This assertion is ridiculous, because
the law clearly refers to engaging in subversive and fraudulent activities to
encourage or enable actual individual aliens to remain in the country, not mere
political advocacy for liberal immigration policies in the abstract. It’s like
saying that someone who hates high taxes or gun control laws and advocates
against them is the same as a person who actively assists tax cheats and gun
felons in achieving the end goal of the criminalized behavior.
The 1952 INA (8 U.S.C. §
1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)) calls for felony prosecution for anyone who “encourages or
induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United
States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry,
or residence is or will be in violation of law.” Subsection (V)(I) prohibits
“any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts.” The two defendants in
this case were convicted on both counts. This law passed the Senate
unanimously!
The forerunners to this law were the
Contract Labor Law of 1885 and the 1891 Immigration Act. The 1885 law made it
unlawful to “in any way assist or encourage the importation or migration of any
alien” for the purpose of contract labor. Section 3 of the 1891 Immigration Act
made it a felony to “assist or encourage the importation or migration of any
alien by promise of employment” through advertisements.
Other circuits have long recognized this
law as completely legitimate. “Harboring, within the meaning of §1324,
encompasses conduct tending substantially to facilitate an alien’s remaining in
the United States illegally and to prevent government authorities from
detecting his unlawful presence,” wrote the Second Circuit in 1999. “Such
facilitation may be attempted through a wide range of conduct.” (United States v. Kim, 193 F.3d 567, 574
(2d Cir. 1999).)
The Fifth Circuit has ruled that Congress intended for §1324
to “broadly proscribe any knowing or willful conduct fairly within any of these
terms that tends to substantially facilitate an alien’s remaining in the U.S.
illegally.”
So how could a single judge who has a
family history of open-borders activism be allowed to veto such long-standing
and universal laws? The answer is that he has no such power other than what the
other branches are willing to cede him.
The concern here is that this will not
only protect employers who knowingly help illegal aliens get around our
immigration laws, but it will also essentially legalize sanctuary cities.
Throughout the county, sanctuary cities are taking active steps to thwart immigration law. We would never tolerate this for other
federal laws concerning American criminals. Why should illegal aliens have
special privileges?
Rather than shirking from §1324
prosecutions, Trump’s DOJ should aggressively go after sanctuary cities,
especially in areas where there are saner federal judges. A judge has no power
to “strike down” or veto statutes he or she believes are overly broad. If there
is a case that concerns pure speech or advocacy without any conspiracy or
action taken to encourage illegal immigration, then it is within the
prerogative of a judge not to convict the person. That is judicial power. But
judges have no ability to say that the statute can’t be applied even when an
action is involved because, in their view, the text of the law might rope in
speech in other cases. To believe otherwise is to concoct an entirely new level
of judicial veto that our Founders explicitly rejected. This is the difference between judicial review and
judicial supremacy.
Finally, it’s important to remember that
this is yet another example of judges attempting to fully
nullify long-standing immigration law. Some on the Right believe that Congress
needs to pass new laws in order to end illegal immigration. It’s simply not
true. We don’t have a law problem; we have a judicial supremacy problem. The only question is whether the other
branches will give this fake power full effect.
ALIEN
NATION: Secrets of the Invasion
Why
America's government invites rampant illegal immigration
It's
widely regarded as America's biggest problem: Between 12 and 20 million aliens
(MOST SOURCES SUGGEST THERE ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY NEARLY 40 MILLION ILLEGALS
HERE NOW) – including large numbers of criminals, gang members and even
terrorists – have entered this nation illegally, with countless more streaming
across our scandalously unguarded borders daily.
The
issue polarizes the nation, robs citizens of jobs, bleeds taxpayers, threatens
America's national security and dangerously balkanizes the country into
unassimilated ethnic groups with little loyalty or love for America's founding
values. Indeed, the de facto invasion is rapidly transforming America into a
totally different country than the one past generations have known and loved.
And
yet – most Americans have almost no idea what is really going on, or why it is
happening.
While
news reports depict demonstrations and debates, and while politicians promise
"comprehensive border security programs," no real answers ever seem
to emerge.
But
there are answers. Truthful answers. Shocking answers.
In
its groundbreaking May edition, WND's acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine
reveals the astounding hidden agendas, plans and people behind America's
immigration nightmare.
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 the powerfully influential Council on Foreign Relations – often
described as a “shadow government" – issued a comprehensive report last
year laying out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North
American economic and security community" with a common "outer
security perimeter"?
Roughly
translated: In the next few years, according to the 59-page report titled
"Building a North American Community," the U.S. must be integrated
with the socialism, corruption, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada.
"Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S.,
Mexico and Canada. As Phyllis Schlafly reveals in this issue of Whistleblower:
"This CFR document asserts that President Bush, Mexican President Vicente
Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin 'committed their governments' to
this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005.
The three adopted the 'Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America'
and assigned 'working groups' to fill in the details. It was at this same
meeting, grandly called the North American Summit, that President Bush pinned
the epithet 'vigilantes' on the volunteers guarding our border in
Arizona."
The
CFR report – important excerpts of which are published in Whistleblower – also
suggests North American elitists begin getting together regularly, and
presumably secretly, "to buttress North American relationships, along the
lines of the Bilderberg or Wehrkunde conferences, organized to support
transatlantic relations." The Bilderberg and Wehrkunde conferences are
highly secret conclaves of the powerful. For decades, there have been
suspicions that such meetings were used for plotting the course of world events
and especially the centralization of global decision-making.
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, "In 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.

THE
AZTLAN INVASION & THE LA RAZA FASCIST PARTY FOR MEXICAN SUPREMACY
“The
radicals seek nothing less than secession from the United States whether to
form their own sovereign state or to reunify with Mexico. Those who desire
reunification with Mexico are irredentists who seek to reclaim Mexico's
"lost" territories in the American Southwest.”
MULTICULTURALISM,
IMMIGRATION AND AZTLAN
By
Maria Hsia Chang Professor of Political Science, University of Nevada Reno
One
of the standard arguments invoked by those in favor of massive immigration into
the United States is that our country is founded on immigrants who have always
been successfully assimilated into America's mainstream culture and society. As
one commentator put it, "Assimilation evokes the misty past of Ellis
Island, through which millions entered, eventually seeing their descendants
become as American as George Washington."1 Nothing more vividly testifies
against that romantic faith in America's ability to continuously assimilate new
members than the events of October 16, 1994 in Los Angeles. On that day, 70,000
people marched beneath "a sea of Mexican flags" protesting
Proposition 187, a referendum measure that would deny many state benefits to
illegal immigrants and their children. Two weeks later, more protestors marched
down the street, this time carrying an American flag upside down. Both protests
point to a disturbing and rising phenomenon of Chicano separatism in the United
States — the product of a complex of forces, among which are multiculturalism
and a generous immigration policy combined with a lax border control. The Problem
Chicanos refer to "people of Mexican descent in the United States" or
"Mexican Americans in general." Today, there are reasons to believe
that Chicanos as a group are unlike previous immigrants in that they are more
likely to remain unassimilated and unintegrated, whether by choice or
circumstance — resulting in the formation of a separate quasi-nation within the
United States. More than that, there are Chicano political activists who intend
to marry cultural separateness with territorial and political
self-determination. The more moderate among them aspire to the cultural and
political autonomy of "home rule". The radicals seek nothing less
than secession from the United States whether to form their own sovereign state
or to reunify with Mexico. Those who desire reunification with Mexico are
irredentists who seek to reclaim Mexico's "lost" territories in the
American Southwest.
Whatever
their goals, what animates all of them is the dream of Aztlan. According to
legend, Aztlan was the ancestral homeland of the Aztecs which they left in
journeying southward to found Tenochtitlan, the center of their new
civilization, which is today's Mexico City. Today, the "Nation of
Aztlan" refers to the American southwestern states of California, Arizona,
Texas, New Mexico, portions of Nevada, Utah, Colorado, which Chicano
nationalists claim were stolen by the United States and must be reconquered
(Reconquista) and reclaimed for Mexico. The myth of Aztlan was revived by
Chicano political activists in the 1960s as a central symbol of Chicano
nationalist ideology. In 1969, at the Chicano National Liberation Youth
Conference in Denver, Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales put forth a political
document entitled El Plan de Aztlan (Spiritual Plan of Aztlan). The Plan is a
clarion call to Mexican-Americans to form a separate Chicano nation: In the
spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historial
heritage, but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our
territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the nothern land of
Aztlan from whence came our forefathers ...declare that the call of our blood
is...our inevitable destiny.... Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds,
water the fields, and gather the crops, and not to the foreign Europeans. We do
not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent.... Brotherhood
unites us, and love for our brothers makes us a people whose time has come ....
With our heart in our hands and our hands in the soil, we declare the
independence of our mestizo nation. We are a bronze people with a bronze
culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers
in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we
are Aztlan.
How
Chicanos are Unlike Previous Immigrants Brent A. Nelson, writing in 1994,
observed that in the 1980s America's Southwest had begun to be transformed into
"a de facto nation" with its own culture, history, myth, geography,
religion, education, and language. Whatever evidence there is indicates that Chicanos,
as a group, are unlike previous waves of immigrants into the United States. In
the first place, many Chicanos do not consider themselves immigrants at all
because their people "have been here for 450 years" before the
English, French, or Dutch. Before California and the Southwest were seized by
the United States, they were the lands of Spain and Mexico. As late as 1780 the
Spanish crown laid claim to territories from Florida to California, and on the
far side of the Mississippi up to the Great Lakes and the Rockies. Mexico held
title to much of Spanish possessions in the United States until the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American war in 1848. As a consequence,
Mexicans "never accepted the borders drawn up by the 1848 treaty."
That
history has created among Chicanos a feeling of resentment for being "a
conquered people," made part of the United States against their will and
by the force of arms. Their resentment is amply expressed by Voz Fronteriza, a
Chicano student publication,
which
referred to Border Patrol officers killed in the line of duty as "pigs
(migra)" trying to defend "the false frontier."
Chicanos
are also distinct from other immigrant groups because of the geographic
proximity of their native country. Their physical proximity to Mexico gives
Chicanos "the option of life in both Americas, in two places and in two
cultures, something earlier immigrants never had." Geographic proximity
and ease of transportation are augmented by the media. Radio and television
keep the spoken language alive and current so that Spanish, unlike the native
languages of previous immigrants into the United States, "shows no sign of
fading."
A
result of all that is the failure by Chicanos to be fully assimilated into the
larger American society and culture. As Earl Shorris, author of Latinos: A
Biography of the People, observed: "Latinos have been more resistant to
the melting pot than any other group. Their entry en masse into the United
States will test the limits of the American experiment...." The continuous
influx of Mexican immigrants into the United States serve to continuously renew
Chicano culture so that their sense of separateness will probably continue
"far into the future...." There are other reasons for the failure of
Chicano assimilation. Historically, a powerful force for assimilation was
upward social mobility: Immigrants into the United States became assimilated as
they rose in educational achievement and income. But today's post-industrial
American economy, with its narrower paths to upward mobility, is making it more
difficult for certain groups to improve their socioeconomic circumstances.
Unionized factory jobs, which once provided a step up for the second generation
of past waves of immigrants, have been disappearing for decades. Instead of the
diamond-shaped economy of industrial America, the modern American economy is
shaped like an hourglass. There is a good number of jobs for unskilled people
at the bottom, a fair number of jobs for the highly educated at the top, but comparatively
few jobs for those in the middle without a college education or special skills.
To illustrate, a RAND Corporation study forecasts that 85 percent of
California's new jobs will require post-secondary education. For a variety of
reasons, the nationwide high-school dropout rate for Hispanics (the majority of
whom are Chicano) is 30 percent — three times the rate for whites and twice the
rate for blacks. Paradoxically, the dropout rate for Hispanics born in the
United States is even higher than for young immigrants. Among Chicanos,
high-school dropout rates actually rise between the second and third
generations. Their low educational achievement accounts for why Chicanos as a
group are poor despite being hardworking. In 1996, for the first time, Hispanic
poverty rate began to exceed that of American blacks. In 1995, household income
rose for every ethnic group except Hispanics, for whom it dropped 5 percent.
Latinos now make up a quarter of the nation's poor people, and are more than
three times as likely to be impoverished than whites. This decline in income
has taken place despite high rates of labor-force participation by Latino men,
and despite an emerging Latino middle class. In California, where Latinos now
approach one-third of the population, their education levels are far lower than
those of other immigrants, and they earn about half of what native-born
Californians earn. This means that, for the first time in the history of
American immigration, hard work is not leading to economic advancement because
immigrants in service jobs face unrelenting labor-market pressure from more
recently arrived immigrants who are eager to work for less. The narrowing of
the pathways of upward mobility has implications for the children of recent
Mexican immigrants. Their ascent into the middle-class mainstream will likely
be blocked and they will join children of earlier black and Puerto Rican
migrants as part of an expanded multiethnic underclass. Whereas first
generation immigrants compare their circumstances to the Mexico that they left
— and thereby feel immeasurably better off — their children and grandchildren
will compare themelves to other U.S. groups. Given their lower educational
achievement and income, that comparison will only lead to feelings of relative deprivation
and resentment. They are unlikely to be content as maids, gardeners, or fruit
pickers. Many young Latinos in the second and third generations see themselves
as locked in irremediable conflict with white society, and are quick to deride
successful Chicano students as "wannabes." For them, to study hard is
to "act white" and exhibit group disloyalty. That attitude is part of
the Chicano culture of resistance — a culture that actively resists
assimilation into mainstream America. That culture is created, reinforced, and
maintained by radical Chicano intellectuals, politicians, and the many Chicano
Studies programs in U.S. colleges and universities. As examples, according to
its editor, Elizabeth Martinez, the purpose of Five Hundred Years of Chicano
History, a book used in over 300 schools throughout the West, is to
"celebrate our resistance to being colonized and absorbed by racist empire
builders." The book calls the INS and the Border Patrol "the Gestapo
for Mexicans."
For
Rodolfo Acuna, author of Occupied America: The Chicano's Struggle Toward
Liberation, probably the most widely assigned text in U.S. Chicano Studies
programs, the Anglo-American invasion of Mexico was "as vicious as that of
Hitler's invasion of Poland and other Central European nations...." The
book also includes a map showing "the Mexican republic" in 1822
reaching up into Kansas and Oklahoma, and including within it Utah, Nevada, and
everything west and south of there
"This
is country belongs to Mexico" is said by the Mexican Militant. This is a
common teaching that the U.S. is really AZTLAN, belonging to Mexicans, which is
taught to Mexican kids in Arizona and California through a LA Raza educational
program funded by American Tax Payers via President Obama, when he gave LA RAZA
$800,000.00 in March of 2009!
‘Diversity,’
Illegal Immigration and Destroying America
By Frank Gaffney, Jr.
Center for Security Policy, February 20, 2018
Now
that official Washington’s political oxygen is being consumed by the latest
school shooting, it’s easy to forget abiding disagreements about immigration
policy. Yet, until supplanted by the current children’s crusade for gun
control, it was the so-called “DACA kids” who had to be accommodated with a
massive amnesty.
Just as we seem determined to ignore factors in mass murders like the pop culture’s role in inculcating a lust for violence – the more, the better, what passes for debate about illegal aliens is increasingly unmoored from any discussion of their impact on American society.
It’s time to reprise a 2003 warning by Democratic former Colorado governor Dick Lamm about a “secret plan” that is destroying our country through the combined effects of unchecked immigration, the “diversity” agenda and abandoning our national principle of “out of many, one.” This lunacy must end.

and Chicanos of Aztlán, we are a nationalist movement of Indigenous Gente that
lay claim to the land that is ours by birthright. As a nationalist movement we
seek to free our people from the exploitation of an oppressive society that

CA Marxists Ramping Up Destabilization of the Golden State
Immediately following the November election, California Governor
Jerry Brown appointed U.S. Rep. Xavier Becerra (D) to replace State Attorney
General Kamala Harris, who won election to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the
retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer.
Many wonder why Xavier Becerra was chosen by Brown. But all
anyone has to do is peek into the radical California Legislature, and
fanatical Gov. Jerry Brown, to see the trend of militant Marxist,
Socialist, Jesuit, Liberation Theology, Latino activism on the increase.
The goal by these extremists in California is to push
the state, and eventually the country to such a crisis, a reorganization
is the only cure. That is what Communists do. Modern day “Progressives” as they
like to be called, like Brown and Becerra, refer to themselves as
Multiculturalists and Progressives. But as history very clearly demonstrates,
using Marxism as the cure to anything in society is a very dark
fairytale.
The term “progressive” is simply
another way of saying “socialist” or “Marxist;” But it’s as important to
recognize how liberation theology factors into the radical Latino lawmakers: In
Latin America, the big enemy is not Marxism, it is capitalism. And the main
enemy of liberation theology, according to its founder, the Rev. Gustavo
Gutierrez of Peru, and many of its adherents, is the United States–Michael
Novak, the author of the 1984 ”Freedom With Justice: Catholic Social Thought
and Liberal Institutions.” Novak describes liberation theology as
“gaining its excitement from flirting with Marxist thought and speech.”
Xavier Becerra
As Fox News pointed out in a
2003 interview on the Sean
Hannitty Show, Becerra has a devout relationship with MEChA, as well as The Fabian Society. But don’t go
looking for the clip; it is apparent Becerra’s people have been busy at work
cleaning up his inline reputation and record.
“I got to be the first in my
family to go to college” thanks to MEChA, Becerra said.
Hannity repeatedly pressed
Becerra on why he would belong to a group that preaches racial discrimination,
prompting the Bustamente backer to complain, “Are you calling me a racist?”
When the Fox host pointed out
that MEChA favors the return of California to Mexico, Becerra still declined to
criticize the group, saying, “I got a lot of help from people in the
organization who have promoted education for kids and who continue to do that.
… What I know is what they do.”
MEChA is a Hispanic separatist organization (400 chapters
nationwide and in many high schools) that encourages anti-American activities,
civil disobedience, and romanticizes Mexican claims to the “lost Territories”
of California and the Southwestern United States, in a Chicano country called “Aztlan.” The
official national symbol of MEChA is an eagle holding a machete-like weapon and
a stick of dynamite.
The Fabian Society and Fabian
Socialism uses the teachings of John Maynard Keynes as their
catechism of political economy. Like Marxism, it embraced the idea of a
Communist Utopia, where the State owned everything and controlled every aspect
of the public’s lives. They have installed Fabian Socialism and Keynesism as the new faith,
both in the Universities and in Government bureaucracy. Keynes supported
statism and socialism, and managed and planning economies. U.S.
President Barack Obama has long advocated the use of Keynesian
economic concepts — despite the fact that John Maynard Keynes was incompetent,
a fraud, and accused of being a pedophile.
These groups have worked
diligently behind the scenes to implement their Socialist policies
into our government, labor unions and throughout academia. They have infected
the working class, demanding higher and higher wages, resulting often in welfare
and other government handouts once their employers are ruined. They use illegal immigrants as
messengers of their ideology, demeaning patriotism, and America. And
they have manipulated the political process so that only those candidates
well-versed in Marxism receive the attention of the corporate Media.
Illegal Immigration and Marxism
Even though the law doesn’t allow them to vote, illegal
immigrants are changing the landscape of the U.S. government, especially in
California, by impacting the census’ through mass migration. California
allows illegal aliens to vote.
Former Mechista Rep. Xavier Becerra, the U.S.
congressman for California’s 31st District, says what all leftist Latino
lawmakers say: their (illegal) constituents still pay taxes
and contribute to society, therefore
they should vote. — “An individual doesn’t have to be a citizen to pay taxes –
you pay taxes if you work in this country, you pay taxes if you purchase
something,” Becerra said.
Led by Los Angeles County Federation
of Labor head Maria Elena Durazo, a group of
socialist and Communist California labor officials and Democrat Party operatives
created a program to target Latinos and immigrants (illegal and legal) to
permanently drive California politics far to the left, Democrat political
consultant Richie Ross wrote in CalBuzz in
2010. Ross openly boasts of targeting the Latino community’s fear of
anti-illegal immigration measures, to drive the community even further into the
arms of the Democratic Party.
In 1994, then-Governor Pete Wilson
put Proposition 187 on the ballot. It was called the nation’s first
anti-immigrant initiative, but in fact the goal of Proposition 187 was to
make illegal aliens ineligible for public benefits including public social
services, public health care services, and public school education. It came in
the middle of a deep recession in California and was popular partly because the
fiscal estimate from the California Legislative
Analyst’s Office said that it would save
the state about $200 million/year.
Latinos and Communists
The two most significant Marxist
groups in the United States, the Communist Party USA and Democratic Socialists of America, are both committed to increasing the Latino vote in order to
give Democrats a permanent electoral majority.
Maria Elena Durazo,Los Angeles County Federation of Labor head,
is closely associated with both groups. She is is also well connected
to former LA Mayor and Gubernatorial hopeful Antonia Villaraigosa, as well as
former California State Senator Gil Cedillo, both long time
immigration activists.
“Durazo, Villaraigosa and Cedillo,
all trained under legendary Los Angles Communist Party USA activist,
Democratic Party activist and “immigration reform” pioneer Bert Corona,”
Trevor Loudon wrote in 2013. All three have
long ties to both the Communist Party USA and Democratic Socialists of
America, and coincidentally were all prominent California supporters of
presidential candidate Barack Obama and long time ally of both the Communists and DSA.
(former mayor of Mexico’s second
largest city of Los Angeles) Villaraigosa has a long history with MEChA. As a
student, he headed the UCLA chapter of MEChA, but left UCLA six weeks before
graduation to become a full-time organizer with Corona’s Centro de Action Social Autonoma.
Another radical activist isRep. Luis
Gutierrez (D-IL), a co-sponsor of the 2010 Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
Gutierrez, a former member of the
Marxist-Leninist Puerto Rican Socialist Party, chairs the Immigration Task Force of the Congressional
Hispanic Caucus. Longtime amnesty activists Gutierrez and Rep. Xavier
Becerra (D-CA), both members of
the Congressional Progressive Caucus, worked on the amnesty effort.
Communists seek to use amnestied illegals to build a “permanent
progressive majority.” Most thinking Americans know that Democrats only care
about illegals for the winning voting bloc they can provide, but most are
unaware that this idea was hatched and developed by the American Communist
Party, which Richie Ross clearly explains in his op ed:
The campaigns we developed
broke new ground, organized new union workers, and increased the political
impact Latino voters have had on California politics – simultaneously tripling
their number of registered voters, increasing the Democratic share of that vote
by 50%, and doubling the percentage of the total votes cast in California from
Latinos.
Through the rest of the 1990′s
our campaigns focused on legislative races in Los Angeles. We
succeeded. But it was all small.
In 2000, our message was
controversial (until it worked). “If you want to make a difference,
voting isn’t enough. Don’t bother voting unless you sign our pledge to
get 100% of your family to vote.” Latino turnout rose… and accounted for
14% of the votes cast according to the State’s voter registration and voting
history records.
The Enemies Within
Trevor Loudon’s 2013 book, Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the
U.S. Congress, “profiles fourteen Senators and more than fifty
Representatives. Their ties to Communist Party USA, Democratic Socialists of
America, Workers World Party, the Institute for Policy Studies, Council for a
Livable World and other radical anti-American organizations.”
Loudon identifies Bert Corona, as the “Communist Father of the
‘Immigrants Rights’ movement” in 1960. In 1964, Corona, Cesar Chavez and future
Democratic Socialists of America member Dolores Huerta forced Congress to end
the guest worker “Bracero” program. Later, Corona sought ways to address
“problems confronting Mexicans in the United States who had no visas or
citizenship documents” – in other words, illegal aliens – including “how to
defend persons detained by immigration authorities and how to help immigrants
acquire disability and unemployment insurance and welfare.”
Loudon writes:
On March 11, 1998, Los
Angeles Democratic Socialists of America leader Steve Tarzynski wrote an email to another
Los Angeles DSA leader Harold Meyerson.
Tarzynski listed 25 people he
thought should be on an “A-list” of “25 or so leaders/activists/intellectuals
and/or “eminent persons” who would gather periodically to theorize/strategize
about how to rebuild a progressive movement in our metropolitan area that could
challenge for power.”
Tarzynski listed himself, Harold Meyerson, Karen Bass, Sylvia Castillo, Gary Phillips, Joe Hicks, Richard Rothstein, Steve Cancian, Larry Frank, Torie Osborn, Rudy Acuna, Aris Anagnos, Abby Arnold, Carl Boggs, Blase Bonpane, Rick Brown, Stanley Sheinbaum, Alice Callahan, Jim
Conn, Peter Dreier, Maria Elena Durazo, Miguel Contreras, Mike Davis, Bill Gallegos, Bob Gottlieb, Kent Wong, Russell Jacoby, Bong Hwan Kim, Paula Litt (and Barry Litt, with a question mark), Peter Olney, Derek Shearer, Clancy Sigal and Anthony Thigpenn.
Included in a suggested elected
officials sub-group were Mark Ridley-Thomas, Gloria Romero, Jackie Goldberg, Gil Cedillo, Tom Hayden, Antonio Villaraigosa, Paul Rosenstein and Congressmen Xavier Becerra, Henry Waxman and Maxine Waters.
In further preparation for battle, the California legislature
just hired former Attorney General, Eric Holder. “Having the former attorney
general of the United States brings us a lot of firepower in order to prepare
and safeguard the values of the people of California.” Kevin de Leon, the
Democratic leader of the Senate, said in an interview. “This means we are very,
very serious.”
Very serious, and very Marxist, indeed.

thought should be on an “A-list” of “25 or so leaders/activists/intellectuals
and/or “eminent persons” who would gather periodically to theorize/strategize
about how to rebuild a progressive movement in our metropolitan area that could
challenge for power.”
Tarzynski listed himself, Harold Meyerson, Karen Bass, Sylvia Castillo, Gary Phillips, Joe Hicks, Richard Rothstein, Steve Cancian, Larry Frank, Torie Osborn, Rudy Acuna, Aris Anagnos, Abby Arnold, Carl Boggs, Blase Bonpane, Rick Brown, Stanley Sheinbaum, Alice Callahan, Jim
Conn, Peter Dreier, Maria Elena Durazo, Miguel Contreras, Mike Davis, Bill Gallegos, Bob Gottlieb, Kent Wong, Russell Jacoby, Bong Hwan Kim, Paula Litt (and Barry Litt, with a question mark), Peter Olney, Derek Shearer, Clancy Sigal and Anthony Thigpenn.
Included in a suggested elected
officials sub-group were Mark Ridley-Thomas, Gloria Romero, Jackie Goldberg, Gil Cedillo, Tom Hayden, Antonio Villaraigosa, Paul Rosenstein and Congressmen Xavier Becerra, Henry Waxman and Maxine Waters.
In further preparation for battle, the California legislature
just hired former Attorney General, Eric Holder. “Having the former attorney
general of the United States brings us a lot of firepower in order to prepare
and safeguard the values of the people of California.” Kevin de Leon, the
Democratic leader of the Senate, said in an interview. “This means we are very,
very serious.”
Very serious, and very Marxist, indeed.

ATTORNEY GENERAL XAVIER BECERRA IS A MEMBER OF THE MEX FASCIST SEPARATIST

VIVA LA RAZA SUPREMACY?
http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2018/07/la-raza-hillary-clinton-backs-mexican.html
In 1994, Voz Fronteriza received $6,000 from UC student activity funds and
many of its writers are members of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, which refers to the American Southwest as “occupied
Mexico.” California attorney general Xavier Becerra, a former congressman once on Hillary Clinton’s short list
as a running mate, boasts of his involvement with the militant group.
(DO A SEARCH FOR THE CLINTON’S LONG HISTORY
WITH THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA “The Race” NOW CALLING ITSELF
UNIDOSus.)
California AG Xavier Becerra:
Corrupt Anarchist
The American Left Are The New
Traitors
Immediately following the November 2016 election, California
Governor Jerry Brown appointed U.S. Rep. Xavier Becerra (D) to replace State Attorney
General Kamala Harris, who won election to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the
retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer.
Many wonder why Becerra was Brown’s
choice given that Becerra served in Congress since 1993, and resided in a
million dollar home in Washington, D.C. (his primary residence) with his
wife and three children, regardless of the requirement that a congressman from
a certain district has to live there.
But all anyone has to do is pay attention to the radical
California Legislature, and fanatical Gov. Jerry Brown, to see the decades-long
trend of militant Marxist, Socialist, Jesuit, Liberation Theology, Latino
activism.
Gov. Jerry Brown’s choice of Xavier Becerra to be
California’s Attorney General was the first of many steps to protect the
pervasive lawlessness of the radical left. Becerra has taken an aggressive and
combative stance against President Donald Trump, suing Trump over the
Presidents’ efforts to enforce federal immigration laws, and even blocks
federal government attempts to deport criminal illegal aliens.
Trump’s campaign centered on building a wall along the United
States border with Mexico to keep out illegal aliens, violent gangs, and
terrorists posing as immigrants.
Xavier Becerra also has lingering
troubles from his days in Congress. As the Daily Caller’s Luke Rosiak has been reporting, “Xavier Becerra,
now attorney general of California, ran the House Democratic Caucus, and his
server was physically stolen shortly after
the IG report named it as evidence in a hacking probe, three senior government
officials said.”
“The chairman of the House
Democratic Caucus, barely reacted when he learned the caucus server had been
infiltrated in 2016, although he loudly decried the hack of the Democratic
National Committee that happened around that same time,” Rosiak said. “No one has faced punishment for the
caucus server infiltration.”
“Members of the Awan family logged on to the Caucus server 7,000
times without authorization between October 2015 and August 2016, according to
a House investigation. The logins suggested “the server is being used for
nefarious purposes and elevated the risk that individuals could be reading
and/or removed information,” it said.
Even after the Wikileaks publication of DNC emails, Becerra
never publicly acknowledged nor demanded consequences for the cyber breach on
the server of a group similar in nature to the DNC.”
“The Awans were accessing members’
computers without their knowledge, transferring files to remote servers, and stealing computer equipment — including hard drives that
Awan & Co. smashed to bits of bytes before making tracks,” former
Prosecutor Andrew McCarthy reported in National Review. And none of the Awans could have qualified for a security clearance.
The unvetted Awans enjoyed
unfettered access throughout the Democrat Caucus – and even had access to the
accounts of members of the House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees.
Many believe Becerra departed Congress to become Jerry Brown’s
appointed attorney general in California to put him in a position in which he
could not be prosecuted.
However, Becerra has an election coming in November, and faces a
solid Republican challenger in retired Superior Court Judge Steven Bailey.
Kowtowing to BLM
And now, Sacramento’s shady weak-kneed Mayor, Darrell Steinberg,
who has a history of standing by and watching scandals happen, just announced
that AG Xavier Becerra will take over the investigation into the March 18
police shooting of career thug Stephon Clark in Sacramento.
But Houston, we have a problem with this: hundreds of Black
Lives Matter protesters have blocked the entrance of nearby Golden 1 Center in
downtown Sacramento twice in one week, preventing thousands of ticket-holding
Kings fans from attending NBA games. And the Sacramento City Council and Mayor
Steinberg allowed it to happen.
Anti-police mobs, and Black Lives Matter protestors have also
halted traffic on Interstate 5, and shut down a Sacramento city council meeting
where the Sacramento police did nothing to stop them… likely on orders from the
Mayor.
Lloyd Billingsley reported at Frontpage
Mag a connection between Beccerra and Black Lives Matter, and points out that
both Kamala Harris and Becerra completely ignored the brutal murders of police
officers Danny Oliver and Michael Davis by now-convicted murderer Luis
Bracamontes, who told the court, “I wish I had killed more of the motherfuckers.”
But Becerra was silent on the Oliver/Davis murders, and on Kate
Steinle, gunned down by repeatedly deported Mexican national José Inez García
Zarate, likely because of his Awan brothers problems in Congress.
Billingsley also points out, “While
anti-police mobs raged through the streets, Jerry Brown issued pardons for five illegals facing deportation and guilty of crimes such as kidnapping, robbery, vehicle
theft and drug dealing.”
Are you feeling the anarchy? Socialism? Leftism?
What legal recourse do voters have against lawyer politicians
who knowingly violate the law, either through the passage of unconstitutional
bills, or through illegal actions and policy? What will it take for voters to
throw out these corruptocrats and crooks?

CALIFORNIA COMRADES CHOOSE
COMRADE HOLDER
https://sacramentocitizen.wordpress.com/2017/01/11/california-comrades-choose-comrade-holder/
Any attorney general who is not
an activist is not doing his or her job.
Eric Holder
In Part One of this
series, we exposed the Chicano Marxist take over of the California legislature
and their plans to defy federal immigration laws and expected actions of
the incoming Trump administration. Gov. Jerry Brown’s nomination of Xavier Becerra to be
California’s next Attorney General was the first of many steps to protect the
pervasive lawlessness of the radical left. Becerra has already taken an
aggressive and combative stance against President-elect Donald Trump, vowing to
fight Trump’s efforts to enforce immigration laws, and even block attempts to
deport criminal illegal aliens. Trump’s campaign centered on building a
wall along the United States border with Mexico to keep out illegal
immigrants, violent gangs, and terrorists posing as immigrants.
Xavier Becerra, currently a 12-year
member of Congress, is an admitted member of MEChA, or
“Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan,” often likened to a Latino KKK.
Becerra has publicly defended MEChA, even
though the Chicano supremacist group evangelizes discrimination
against non-Hispanics and calls for the killing of Border Patrol “pigs.”
MEChA’s rallying cry is: “For the race, everything; For those outside the race, nothing.”
Becerra’s Radical Plans
Recently, the State Assembly Committee on the Office of the
Attorney General asked nominee Becerra to detail his plans on the issues
of immigration, civil rights, the environment, policing and consumer protection
– apparently the only issues the California Legislature is interested in
Becerra defending.
In a letter released Saturday,
Becerra praised California’s policies helping illegal aliens get driver’s
licenses, free college tuition, and free lawyers to represent them in
deportation cases, calling it “national leadership.”
“All of these policies and programs are representative of
California’s values as a welcoming state,” Becerra wrote to the Assembly
committee.
Becerra also took a shot at Trump for proposing to create a
registry of Muslim immigrants during the campaign.”Disturbing statements
uttered during the recent Presidential campaign have given rise to legitimate
fears that the new federal administration might seek to adopt policies that
would discriminate against people based on factors such as their religious
belief,” Becerra wrote. “Any such policies would be antithetical to the deepest
constitutional values and traditions of this nation — a nation founded in
part by men and women fleeing religious persecution.”
“I have no intention of allowing this policy through the doors
of California,” he wrote.
Like a good progressive foot soldier, Becerra also vowed to
fight for abortion, calling it “reproductive freedom.”
Becerra said he will support
California’s recent legislation expanding voter registration and participation
in elections. He might want to look into the 650,000 newly registered
California voters, registered online only weeks before the election. According to the Los
Angeles Times, “98%
of all the growth in California’s voter ranks in 2016 happened in just the last
45 days of the registration season.”
As Attorney General, Becerra has vowed to continue
enforcing policies to combat climate change and work to “transition
Californians to a low-carbon way of life.” Becerra added that a part of
environmental protections is safe drinking water and vowed to “pursue the goal
of providing safe drinking water to all Californians.” Perhaps Becerra can
begin by supporting the safe drinking water bills that Assemblyman Devon Mathis
has tried to get passed over the last two years? In Mathis’ district,
wells began going dry in East Porterville more than three years ago, with more
continuing to dry up every day.
Assemblyman Devon Mathis, R-Porterville, authored the bills
to provide $10 million to homeowners (not farmers) to dig deeper wells and
clean contaminated ones.
Both bills passed through the Assembly and a state Senate
committee without opposition, only to have Senate Appropriations Chairman
Ricardo Lara, D-Los Angeles and Mecha activist, put both bills on suspense– one
after the other, killing them and depriving 10,000+ low-income individuals
access to running water. Sen. Lara was playing politics with this Republican
bill, despite the 10,000 poor people who need the clean water.
Sanctuary Cities
California, through its 35 Sanctuary
Cities, is clearly violating U.S. Federal Immigration law. Recently, Democrat
members of the State Legislature proposed two bills: SB 6 by Sen. Ben Hueso, to
create a state program to fund legal representation for illegal aliens facing
deportation, and AB 3 by Assemblyman Rob Bonta to create taxpayer-funded training for
defense attorneys and public defenders on immigration law for illegal aliens.
And now California is going to try to prevent the new
Presidential administration from enforcing federal immigration law despite the
fact that the Constitution clearly imposes a duty on the president and the
executive branch, to enforce the law.
Hiring Eric Holder… for what?
Democrats in the California State
Legislature apparently decided Becerra isn’t enough legal muscle, and recently
hired former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder to fight a “clear and present
danger” from President-elect Trump… the same former Attorney General Eric
Holder who was once blasted for helping to trigger a “war” on police and called America “a nation of cowards” on the issue of
race. However, he now says he sees his “younger” self in Black Lives
Matter activists… this is who California hired to assist California’s top law
enforcement officer?
Since Trump — who is not referring
to himself as “The Office of President-Elect,” as his predecessor did — has not yet taken office, nor
any official actions, it is hard to see specifically for what purpose Holder
has been hired.
There certainly is poetic justice in hiring the failed Attorney
General of the failed Obama Administration to defend the failed and
deteriorating policies of the Jerry Brown administration and radical Democrats
running the state.
Described as a “devious,
power-hungry, racial zealot,” Eric Holder is also a dubious choice since he is
the only U.S. Attorney General in history to be held in contempt of Congress,
when he refused to turn over Operation Fast and Furious documents to Congress. One of the most reckless law
enforcement operations ever conducted by the Justice Department, it involved selling
guns to Mexican drug cartels, and resulted in the death of a U.S. border patrol
agent, Brian Terry, as well as hundreds of Mexican citizens.
Under Holder’s watch at the DOJ
Civil Rights Division, more than half of all the lawyers hired were chosen from
four radical, anti-American organizations: the ACLU, National Council of La
Raza, NAACP, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and the
Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights, John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky outlined
in their 2014 book, “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department.”
Additionally, the Justice Department
under Holder, and now Loretta Lynch, has one of the worst records before the U.S.
Supreme Court, losing significantly more cases than either of the Bush or
Clinton Departments of Justice. “In most administrations, the department wins
about 70 percent of the cases before the Supreme Court; Mr. Holder’s department
has a losing record and has lost at least nine cases 9-0–even with Obama
appointees Elena Kagen and Sonia Sotomayor on the court,” wrote Jared Taylor of American
Renaissance, in a review of “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department.”
Judicial Watch announced today that
it filed a records request with the
California Legislature Joint Rules Committee seeking to examine legislative
records regarding the state’s employment of former Obama U.S. Attorney General
Eric Holder Jr. The record request includes:
All contracts between the California Legislature and former U.S.
Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling.
All communications between the California Legislature and former
U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling about the
Legislature’s retention of Holder and/or Covington and Burling.
“Judicial
Watch’s records request is designed to expose how California state legislators
are wasting tax dollars to take care of another corrupt politician – Eric
Holder – under the guise of resisting the rule of law on immigration and other
matters,” stated Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “His record at the Clinton and Obama Justice
Departments demonstrates a willingness to bend the law in order to protect his
political patrons.”
The hiring of Eric Holder by the California Legislature
confirms a lack of confidence in Xavier Becerra by Gov. Brown and
Democrats in the Legislature–which must be quite humiliating for Becerra,
especially after his promise to uphold California’s “progressive” policies on
immigration, Obamacare, energy, and criminal justice. “If you want to take on a
forward-leaning state that is prepared to defend its rights and interests, then
come at us,” Becerra said, directing his comment to Trump. Choosing
Holder also reiterates the anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-religion
movement of Marxists in America, but particularly in California. The biggest obstacle
standing between Marxism and Marxist domination of the world is America, and
the U.S. Constitution. And standing between a Marxist takeover of America
is California – only when California is destroyed can Marxists proceed.

Xavier Becerra: “CalExit” Movement can proceed
The CalExit Movement
has gained momentum. With the approval of California Attorney General Xavier
Becerra, if the separatist movement can gather 585,000 signatures, the
representatives of CalExit can put a referendum on the ballot where the state
would secede from the United States.
“The initiative [titled
‘California Autonomy From Federal Government’] would form a commission to
recommend avenues for California to pursue its independence and delete part of
the state constitution that says it is an inseparable part of the U.S. The
measure would also instruct the governor and California congressional
delegation to negotiate more autonomy for the state,” according to the AP.
CHICANO MARXISTS PREPARE FOR BATTLE
WITH TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
As Chicanas and
Chicanos of Aztlán, we are a nationalist movement of Indigenous Gente that lay
claim to the land that is ours by birthright. As a nationalist movement we seek
to free our people from the exploitation of an oppressive society that occupies
our land. Thus, the principle of nationalism serves to preserve the cultural
traditions of La Familia de La Raza and promotes our identity as a
Chicana/Chicano Gente. M.E.CH.A
Immediately following
the November election, California Governor Jerry Brown appointed U.S. Rep.
Xavier Becerra (D) to replace State Attorney General Kamala Harris, who won
election to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer.
Many wonder why
Xavier Becerra was chosen
by Brown. But all
anyone has to do is peek into
the radical
California Legislature, and fanatical
Gov. Jerry Brown, to
see the trend of militant
Marxist, Socialist,
Jesuit, Liberation Theology,
Latino activism on
the increase.
The goal by these
extremists in California is to push the state, and eventually the country to
such a crisis, a reorganization is the only cure. That is what Communists do.
Modern day “Progressives” as they like to be called, like Brown and Becerra,
refer to themselves as Multiculturalists and Progressives. But as history very
clearly demonstrates, using Marxism as the cure to anything in society is a
very dark fairytale.
The term
“progressive” is simply another way of saying “socialist” or “Marxist;” But
it’s as important to recognize how liberation theology factors into the radical
Latino lawmakers:In Latin America, the big enemy is not Marxism, it is
capitalism. And the main enemy of liberation theology, according to its
founder, the Rev. Gustavo Gutierrez of Peru, and many of its adherents, is the
United States, wrote Michael Novak, the author of
the 1984 ‘’Freedom With Justice: Catholic Social Thought and Liberal
Institutions.” Novak describes liberation theology as “gaining its
excitement from flirting with Marxist thought and speech.”
Xavier
Becerra As Fox News pointed out in a
Becerra has a devout
relationship with
MEChA, as well
as The Fabian Society. But
don’t go looking for
the clip; it is apparent
Becerra’s people have
been busy at work
cleaning up his
online reputation and record.
“I got to be the
first in my family to go to college” thanks to MEChA, Becerra said.
Hannity repeatedly
pressed Becerra on why he would belong to a group that preaches racial
discrimination, prompting the Bustamente backer to complain, “Are you calling
me a racist?”
When the Fox host
pointed out that MEChA favors the return of California to Mexico, Becerra still
declined to criticize the group, saying, “I got a lot of help from people in
the organization who have promoted education for kids and who continue to do
that. … What I know is what they do.”
MEChA is a Hispanic
separatist organization (400 chapters nationwide) that encourages anti-American
activities, civil disobedience, and romanticizes Mexican claims to the “lost
Territories” of California and the Southwestern United States, in a Chicano
country called “Aztlan.” The official national symbol of MEChA is an eagle
holding a machete-like weapon and a stick of dynamite.
These groups have
worked diligently behind the scenes to implement their Socialist policies into
our government, labor unions and throughout academia. They have infected the
working class, demanding higher and higher wages, resulting often in welfare
and other government handouts once their employers are ruined. They use illegal
immigrants as messengers of their ideology, demeaning patriotism, and America.
They have manipulated the political process so that only those candidates
well-versed in Marxism receive the attention of the corporate Media.

MEChA, The Movimiento Estudantil Chicano De Aztlan, Is A

MEChA Continues To Support "Reclaiming" Chicano
Nation And Resistance Of The Chicano People To "A Foreign
Culture." "In March of
1969, at Denver, Colorado the Crusade for Justice organized the National
Chicano Youth Conference that drafted the basic premises for the
Chicana/Chicano Movement in El Plan de Aztlán (EPA). A synopsis of El Plan
stipulates: 1) We are Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztlán reclaiming the land of
our birth (Chicana/Chicano Nation); 2) Aztlán belongs to indigenous people, who
are sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture; 3) We are a union of free
pueblos forming a bronze (Chicana/Chicano) Nation; 4) Chicano nationalism, as
the key to mobilization and organization, is the common denominator to bring
consensus to the Chicana/Chicano Movement; 5) Cultural values strengthen our
identity as La Familia de La Raza; and 6) EPA, as a basic plan of
Chicana/Chicano liberation, sought the formation of an independent national
political party that would represent the sentiments of the Chicana/Chicano
community." (National MEChA Website, Accessed 6/20/16)
MEChA's Slogan Can Be Translated To "Within The
Race, Everything; Outside Of It Nothing." "Starting with the name (Chicano Student Movement of
Aztlán, "Aztlán" referring to the mythical Aztec homeland that
prophecy held was north of Mexico and would be repopulated by descendants of
the People of the Sun), continuing with slogans like Entre la raza todo; fuera
de la raza, nada (Within the race, everything; outside of it, nothing) and
concluding with that tribalistic clapping circle, the average MEChA meeting might
look to outsiders like a gathering of brown-skinned brownshirts." (Gustavo
Arellano, Op-Ed, "Raza Isn't Racist," Los Angeles Times, 6/15/16)
MEChA Members Have Dismissed The Importance Of Brown Vs.
The Board Of Education And Destroyed An Entire Run Of The Campus
Newspaper. "It doesn't help
MEChA's case that Semillas del Pueblo Principal Marcos Aguilar, a former UCLA
Mechista, once dismissed the importance of Brown vs. the Board of Education
during an interview, adding that "the white way, the American way, the
neoliberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own

recently destroyed an entire run of the campus newspaper because they
considered the paper's coverage of one MEChA event inadequate." (Gustavo

BECERRA ADVOCATED ON BEHALF OF A
DRUG DEALER
Becerra Lobbied For The
Commutation Of A Convicted Drug Traffickers' Sentence
Becerra Urged President Clinton To Commute A Donor's
Son's Drug Trafficking Sentence. "President-elect
Barack Obama's offer to make Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles) the next U.S.
trade representative makes him the second Cabinet-level candidate to have been
involved in President Clinton's controversial 2001 commutation of a Los Angeles
cocaine dealer's prison sentence. The dealer, Carlos Vignali, was convicted in
1994 for his role in a drug ring that delivered more than 800 pounds of cocaine
-- worth about $5 million at the time -- from Los Angeles to Minneapolis. He
was released after serving less than half of his 14 1/2 -year sentence. Becerra
was one of a number of Southern California political leaders who urged Clinton
to consider commuting Vignali's prison term in response to a campaign by
Vignali's father, Horacio, a Los Angeles businessman and developer who
contributed to Becerra's political campaigns." (Josh Meyer, Tom Hamburger
and Peter Nicholas, "Cabinet Picks Put Focus On Drug Case," Los Angeles Times,
12/5/08)
Drug Dealer Vignali's Father Was "A Major Political
Donor," And Becerra Defended His Actions Against Accusations That He Had
Pulled Strings For A Donor. "Vignali's
father, Horacio, a major political donor, persuaded various public
figures--including Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg, county Supervisor Gloria
Molina, former Rep. Esteban Torres, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony and state Sen.
Richard Polanco--to write letters to the White House on his son's behalf.
Becerra, one of the last officials to add his voice to those seeking an
evaluation of the younger Vignali's case, spent last week repeatedly defending
his actions in newspaper, TV and radio interviews, worried that the perception
that he had pulled strings for a donor could taint his clean-cut image."
(Matea Gold, "Vignali Case Casts Shadow Over Mayor's Race," Los Angeles Times, 2/20/01)
Vignali Donated Over $15,000 To Becerra And Hosted A
Fundraiser For His Mayoral Race. "Both
Becerra and Villaraigosa have said that they were moved by Horacio Vignali's
passionate pleas to help his son, adding that the parking lot owner's donations
to their campaigns did not sway them. Over the years, Vignali donated $2,795 to
Villaraigosa, $2,475 to Becerra, and an additional $10,000 to Becerra's
political action committee. Vignali and his family have given $3,500 to
Becerra's mayoral campaign and co-hosted a fund-raiser for him last June."
(Matea Gold, "Vignali Case Casts Shadow Over Mayor's Race," Los Angeles Times, 2/20/01)
Becerra Claims That He Had Only Asked For More
Information Regarding Vignali's Conviction But Eventually Ended Up Writing A
Letter On His Behalf. "The
congressman insists that he was merely seeking a review of the facts of
Vignali's conviction, and never pushed for a presidential commutation, even
though he did make a phone call to a White House counsel Jan. 19, in the waning
hours of the Clinton administration, to ask about the case. That phone call was
merely to get information for a worried Horacio Vignali, he said. 'What I
wanted to know was, 'Can you give him some information?,' he said. 'If I was
going to try to put pressure on, I would have tried to call the president.'
Becerra said he resisted writing a letter on Vignali's behalf until he learned
that Mahony had written one in July 1996. (Mahony said last week that he made a
mistake weighing in on the case.)" (Matea Gold, "Vignali Case Casts
Shadow Over Mayor's Race," Los Angeles Times, 2/20/01)
Becerra Continued To Insist That He "Didn't Push For
A Commutation." "Even
then, Becerra said, he refused to push for presidential clemency as Vignali
urged him to do. The congressman eventually wrote to Clinton on Nov. 21, asking
him to evaluate the case. 'I thought . . . if Cardinal Mahony has written a
letter, I can ask for a review as well,' Becerra said. 'I didn't know whether
the guy was innocent, so that's why I didn't push for a commutation.'"

BECERRA'S MAYORAL CAMPAIGN SENT
OUT "INCENDIARY" CALLS IMPERSONATING AN ELECTED OFFICIAL ATTACKING
HIS FORMER FRIEND ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA
A Becerra Campaign Phone Bank Sent Out
"Incendiary" Calls Attacking Antonio Villaraigosa During The 2001 Los
Angeles Mayoral Race. "The Los
Angeles County district attorney's office has concluded that a phone bank run
for the unsuccessful mayoral campaign of U.S. Rep. Xavier Becerra sent out the
incendiary calls last month attacking rival Antonio Villaraigosa, according to
sources familiar with the investigation." (Nicholas Riccardi and Greg
Krikorian, "D.A. Traces Bogus Calls To Firm Tied To Becerra," Los Angeles Times, 5/23/01)
· The Calls Impersonated Supervisor Gloria Molina Urging
Voters To Oppose Villaraigosa For His Alleged Opposition To Increased Penalties
For Rapists And Child Molesters. "At
a news conference today, Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley is expected to announce that
prosecutors found that no crime was committed in the prerecorded calls, in
which a woman posing as county Supervisor Gloria Molina alleged that former
Assembly Speaker Villaraigosa opposed legislation increasing penalties for
rapists and child molesters. 'Please, on April 10, say no to Antonio
Villaraigosa,' the message concluded. 'The safety of women and children in our
community depends on it.'" (Nicholas Riccardi and Greg Krikorian,
"D.A. Traces Bogus Calls To Firm Tied To Becerra," Los Angeles Times, 5/23/01)
Becerra And Villaraigosa "Were Once
Friends." "The tensions
between Villaraigosa and Becerra--and their staffs--run deep. Although the two
men were once friends, community leaders had feared that their competing
candidacies would divide Latino support and that neither would make it to the
June runoff." (Nicholas Riccardi and Greg Krikorian, "D.A. Traces
Bogus Calls To Firm Tied To Becerra," Los Angeles Times, 5/23/01)
The Calls Against Becerra "Were Ordered--And Paid
For--By The Becerra Campaign." "Although
details of the probe were carefully guarded Tuesday, interviews show that
investigators uncovered evidence that Becerra's campaign manager knew of the
calls and that the voice on the recording is a female aide to the congressman.
Martin GutieRuiz, director of the La Colectiva agency, which issued the calls,
told The Times they were ordered--and paid for--by the Becerra campaign."
(Nicholas Riccardi and Greg Krikorian, "D.A. Traces Bogus Calls To Firm
Tied To Becerra," Los Angeles Times, 5/23/01)
The Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley Denounced
Becerra's Tactics As "Dirty Tricksterism." "In the calls, a woman impersonating county
Supervisor Gloria Molina said that former Assembly Speaker Antonio
Villaraigosa's record on crime made him a bad choice for women and children. On
Wednesday, Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley said a seven-week investigation showed that
the calls were generated by Becerra's campaign. Although no crime was
committed, Cooley denounced the tactic as 'dirty tricksterism.'" (Matea
Gold and Greg Krikorian, "Becerra Knew of Hit Calls Long Ago, Two
Say," Los Angeles Times, 5/25/01)
LA County Supervisor Gloria Molina Who Was Impersonated
On The Calls Felt "Personally Abused And Personally Hurt By Xavier Becerra
And His Campaign.""Although
Becerra said he had no involvement in the calls, Molina said Wednesday that she
felt 'personally abused and personally hurt by Xavier Becerra and his
campaign.' Molina told reporters that the congressman could not hide behind his
aides and that, even if he did not personally authorize them, had to accept
responsibility for the calls. Molina's strong statements could hurt Becerra,
who has benefited from her support and enjoyed a squeaky-clean image."
(Greg Krikorian and Nicholas Riccardi, "Phone Ad Blamed On Staff Of
Becerra," Los Angeles Times, 5/24/01)
Becerra's Campaign Not
Only Spread The Bogus Calls Deleted Them After They Prompted An Investigation
Becerra Was Informed Of His Campaign's Connection To The
Villaraigosa Attack Calls And Waited To Inform The District Attorney's Office
For Weeks. "Two political
associates of Rep. Xavier Becerra said Thursday that they warned the
congressman weeks ago that his campaign was apparently responsible for an
anonymous hit phone call campaign against one of his mayoral opponents. The
revelations raise questions as to why Becerra waited until last week to tell
the district attorney's office he had heard "rumors" that the calls
may have been linked to his campaign." (Matea Gold and Greg Krikorian,
"Becerra Knew of Hit Calls Long Ago, Two Say," Los Angeles Times, 5/25/01)
· Cooley: "Being Responsible Means Asking The Tough
Questions And Getting The Straight Answers, Not Just Buying The First Nice
Answer You Get And Averting Your Eyes." "'The responsibility was to come forward right away,
not weeks later to report that he heard 'rumors,' Cooley said. 'Being
responsible means asking the tough questions and getting the straight answers,
not just buying the first nice answer you get and averting your eyes.'"
(Matea Gold and Greg Krikorian, "Becerra Knew of Hit Calls Long Ago, Two
Say," Los Angeles Times , 5/25/01)
Becerra's Campaign Deleted The Incendiary Phone Calls
Made On His Behalf After They Prompted An Investigation. "U.S. Rep. Xavier Becerra's mayoral campaign not
only produced a scandalous telephone ad in the Los Angeles mayoral race but
later erased the message after it had prompted an investigation, Dist. Atty.
Steve Cooley said Wednesday. Although the actions did not constitute a crime,
the district attorney's report could spell political trouble for both Becerra
and Los Angeles Councilman Nick Pacheco, a Becerra supporter connected to the
telephone bank that issued the calls." (Greg Krikorian and Nicholas
Riccardi, "Phone Ad Blamed On Staff Of Becerra," Los Angeles Times, 5/24/01)
Becerra Campaign Officials "Stymied"
Investigators Attempts To Discover The Origin Of The Calls. "Over the course of the probe, investigators found
themselves stymied by some of the Becerra campaign's top officials, prosecutors
said. Monserratt initially denied any knowledge of the controversial calls.
Several days later, Cooley said, investigators tried to reach Monserratt but
were unsuccessful until an attorney representing him contacted the district
attorney's office. But on May 1, under oath, Monserratt explained La
Colectiva's role in making the controversial calls." (Greg Krikorian and
Nicholas Riccardi, "Phone Ad Blamed On Staff Of Becerra," Los Angeles Times, 5/24/01)
The Los Angeles Times
Slammed Becerra For His Underhanded Campaign Tactics
Los Angeles Times' Editor Frank Del Olmo: "Smart As Becerra Is, He Will
Never Again Be Able To Pass Himself Off As A Stanford-Educated Boy
Scout." "The letter from
Cooley to Molina recounting the investigation, and subsequent revelations that
Becerra had been warned about political trickery before the April primary,
suggest that these protestations of innocence are so much political tripe.
Smart as Becerra is, he will never again be able to pass himself off as a
Stanford-educated Boy Scout. That's bound to hurt. And just when he could use
that comforting bowl of menudo, he may not be able to get it." (Frank Del
Olmo, Op-Ed, "Becerra Has A Lot Of Explaining To Do," Los Angeles Times, 5/27/01)
Los Angeles Times' Steve Lopez: Becerra Is Having A "Biblical Fall From
Grace."
"People keep telling me there's no interest in local
politics in Southern California, and I have to say that I just don't get it. In
Los Angeles alone, a Mexican American is running for mayor as a non-Latino, his
white opponent, is running as a black man despite falling asleep at the wheel
during the Rampart scandal, a Boy Scout congressman is having a Biblical fall
from grace, and half the city wants to secede." (Steve Lopez, Op-Ed,
"The Shocking Truth About Political Pranks," Los Angeles Times, 5/25/01)
The Los
Angeles Times Slammed
Becerra For The Impersonation-Centered Smear Campaign. "Shame on Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles), a
losing candidate in last month's mayoral primary. How could he not know that
his campaign paid for the outrageous phone calls--made in a voice sounding like
Los Angeles County Supervisor Gloria Molina's--that smeared former Assembly
Speaker Antonio Villaraigosa? If Becerra didn't know what his campaign was
doing on his behalf, he should have. In the end, the dirty trick didn't help
him much. He polled barely 6%. In contrast, Villaraigosa won a spot in the June
5 runoff. That's justice." (Editorial, "Face Up to It, Rep.
Becerra," Los Angeles Times, 5/24/01)
The Los
Angeles Times: "Becerra's
Campaign Paid For The Calls. Voters Shouldn't Forget That." "A bill, AB 690, by Herb Wesson (D-Culver City),
would rightly criminalize unethical behavior of this kind and require
identification of whoever paid for automated phone calls. A similar measure, AB
3, introduced by Senate Republican Leader Jim Brulte (R-Rancho Cucamonga), is
scheduled to come before the Senate Appropriations Committee today. Both bills
should be approved. Becerra's campaign paid for the calls. Voters shouldn't
forget that." (Editorial, "Face Up to It, Rep. Becerra," Los Angeles Times, 5/24/01)
The Los
Angeles Times Also Noted
That Becerra's Actions Should Be Prohibited By State Law For Misleading
Voters. "Los Angeles County
Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley says there is insufficient evidence to file criminal
charges, even against the campaign manager who, according to a phone bank
worker, approved the hit piece. State law prohibits the impersonation of a
public official in an attempt to mislead voters. In this case, the caller said
she was 'Gloria Marina,' which is close to Supervisor Molina's name but
apparently not close enough to be illegal." (Editorial, "Face Up to
It, Rep. Becerra," Los Angeles Times, 5/24/01)
