At
the current rate of invasion (mostly through Mexico, but also through Canada)
the United States will be completely over run with illegal aliens by the year
2025. I’m not talking about legal immigrants who follow US law to become
citizens. In less than 20 years, if we do not stop the invasion, ILLEGAL aliens
and their offspring will be the dominant population in the United States.
According to US Border Control (see LINK below). “They will have made such
inroads into the political and social systems that they will have more
influence than our Constitution over how the U.S. is governed. The ugly
consequence of an ignored U.S. Constitution is already taking place.” The
millions upon millions of illegal aliens streaming into the US are the
foundation for what could be another attempt at secession by several US states.
Many of them will use ill-conceived programs that reward illegal immigration to
become US citizens. Other illegals will simply go to the polls and vote without
taking the trouble to apply for citizenship. Together, these groups could form
a voting block that could tear our nation apart. Those of you who read the
email version of this column should go to www.ConservativeTruth.org to see the
map posted there. It shows the borders of a new nation proposed by influential
Mexican nationals and Hispanic US Citizens. (See LINK below: Professor Predicts
'Hispanic Homeland'.) It includes six northern states of Mexican, as well as
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and southern Colorado. The idea of a Hispanic
Homeland could be ignored as the pipedream of crackpots if a substantial
majority of Mexican citizens did not support it. A Zogby poll of Mexicans done
in June 2002 revealed that a substantial majority of Mexican citizens believe
that southwestern America properly belongs to Mexico. They said that Mexicans
do not need the permission of the U.S. to enter this territory. 58 percent of
Mexican citizens agreed with this statement: "The territory of the United
States' southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico." Only 28 percent disagreed
with the statement. Listen to what some Mexican government officials and US
leaders (including politicians and Professors at taxpayer-funded Universities)
have to say on this subject. Jose Angel Gutierrez, professor, University of
Texas, Arlington and founder of La Raza Unida political party screams at
rallies: "We have an aging white America. They are dying. They are
******** in their pants with fear! I love it! We have got to eliminate the
gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got
to kill him!" (See LINK below.) Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council
"They’re afraid we’re going to take over the governmental institutions and
other institutions. They’re right. We will take them over. Mario Obledo,
California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Jerry Brown,
who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton, says,
“California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn’t like it should
leave." Proposition 187 was the California initiative supported by a
majority of Californians that denied taxpayer funds for services to
non-citizens. Speaking at a Latino gathering in response to Proposition 187’s
passage in 1995, Art Torres, the Chairman of the California Democratic Party,
said: "Power is not given to you. You have to take it. Remember, 187 is
the last gasp of white America in California." The national newspaper of
Mexico, Excelsior: "The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to
the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot." Gloria Molina,
Los Angeles County Supervisor: "We are politicizing every single one of
these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country...I gotta tell
you that a lot of people are saying, "I’m going to go out there and vote
because I want to pay them back." Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul
General: “We are practicing ‘La Reconquista’ in California."
"Reconquista" means the reconquest of the US southwest by Mexico.
(See LINK below.). These people are serious! They think they are going to take
US territory. The Mexican President declared it here in our country, and Bill
Clinton signed a Presidential Executive Order that paves the way for at least
part of Mexico’s dream. Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo said in Chicago on
July 23, 1997, "I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends
beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and that Mexican migrants are an
important – a very important – part of this. For this reason, my government proposed
a constitutional amendment to allow any Mexican with the right and the desire
to acquire another nationality to do so without being forced to first give up
his or her Mexican nationality." Translation: It is next to impossible to
receive Mexican citizenship unless you can prove you are of Mexican descent.
But Mexico knows that the US has soft immigration laws and will grant
citizenship to almost anyone. (After all, we grant citizenship every day to
immigrants from countries who have sworn to destroy us.) So Mexico wants to
take advantage of this ridiculous situation by encouraging their citizens to
apply for US citizenship while keeping Mexican citizenship. That way the
Mexican government can influence the political process here in the US.
Executive Order 13122, signed on May 25, 1999, by the most treasonous president
this nation has ever been cursed with, Bill Clinton, established an Interagency
Task Force on the Economic Development of the Southwest Border. Part of the
Order reads, "The Southwest Border or Southwest Border region is defined
as including the areas up to 150 miles north of the United States-Mexican
border in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and California."
According to experts on international law, this sets the stage for a 150-mile-wide
“Border Zone” that will neither belong to Mexico or the US. This could then
become the first area of a Hispanic Nation that would eventually encompass the
areas shown in the map of the proposed Republica del Norte (The Northern
Republic). Our government, pushed by liberal Democrats, has been systematically
laying the groundwork for such a breakaway republic. Did you know that
immigrants from Mexico and other non European countries can come to this
country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts? It’s
called affirmative action or racial privilege. Some time ago a vote was taken
in the U.S. Congress to end this practice. It was defeated. Every single
Democratic senator except Ernest Hollings voted to maintain special privileges for
Hispanic, Asian and African immigrants. They were joined by thirteen
Republicans. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have repeatedly stated that they believe
that massive immigration from countries like Mexico is good. They have also
backed special privileges for these immigrants. Mexico, a nation that has
benefited enormously from American generosity is now working to destabilize our
country. Is “destabilize” too strong a word? I don’t think so. Whether or not
Mexican leaders think they can actually create enough hatred against “gringos”
to accomplish the creation of a new republic made up of mainly US territory,
they know that pushing that agenda will cause huge political problems here and
allow Mexico to accomplish many of their goals. Is the government of Mexico
behind this? You have seen quotes from a Mexican President and a Mexican Consul
General in support of it. They have everything to gain and little to lose by
pushing it. The Mexican government is also pushing illegal immigration, which
destabilizes our economy. The US Border Control website (see LINK below) shows
an illustration from a Mexican government publication showing their citizens
how to best illegally enter the US. Why? It takes the strain of taking care of
unemployed Mexicans off the Mexican treasury and puts it on the US treasury.
And when the illegals get on welfare, they send some of their money home, which
helps the Mexican economy. All this talk by Mexican and US officials about the
US illegally occupying Mexican territory does nothing but breed racial hatred.
The sad thing is that none of this is about race. It is about the things that
all wars and conflicts are about: Greed, power and money. I don’t like to talk
about a problem without offering a solution. The US politicians and professors who
advocate taking US territory are guilty of sedition. Remove them from their
offices and (hopefully) put them in a federal penitentiary where they can
consider the error of their ways. The Mexican politicians who do the same are
guilty of inciting sedition. This is very close to an act of war. Immediately
cut of all economic aid to Mexico until its government publicly disavows this
lunatic plan. Finally, we must realize that we can’t stop this by marching US
troops into Mexico. We should use troops to guard our borders, because the US
Border Patrol cannot cover the huge US-Mexico border without help. And we need
to use pass laws that will stop the government from rewarding illegal
immigrants at the expense of those who follow the law. We have a huge immigration
problem in this country. This ridiculous Hispanic Homeland idea is just a
symptom of the problem. INTERNET RESEARCH: Professor Predicts 'Hispanic
Homeland' 1. http://www.aztlan.net/homeland.htm
Professor Predicts 'Hispanic Homeland'
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A University of New Mexico Chicano Studies professor
predicts a new, sovereign Hispanic nation within the century, taking in the
Southwest and several northern states of Mexico. Charles Truxillo suggests the
“Republica del Norte,” the Republic of the North, is “an inevitability.” He
envisions it encompassing all of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and
southern Colorado, plus the northern tier of Mexican states: Baja California,
Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas. Along both sides of the
U.S.-Mexico border “there is a growing fusion, a reviving of connections,”
Truxillo said. “Southwest Chicanos and Norteño Mexicanos are becoming one
people again.” Truxillo, 47, has said the new country should be brought into
being “by any means necessary,” but recently said it was unlikely to be formed
by civil war. Instead, its creation will be accomplished by the electoral
pressure of the future majority Hispanic population in the region, he said.
California Appoints Illegal Alien to State Office
California
has its first illegal alien in state office, after Senate President pro Tem
Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) appointed Lizbeth Mateo to the
California Student Opportunity and Access Program Project Grant Advisory
Committee.
Mateo, an
attorney, was born in Mexico and came to the U.S. illegally at the age of 14
with her parents, who are also illegal aliens, according to the Sacramento
Bee.
She complained that illegal aliens are not adequately
represented in state government, and described her appointment as a step
towards correcting that alleged injustice.
“While
undocumented students have become more visible in our state, they remain
underrepresented in places where decisions that affect them are being made,”
Mateo said, as quoted by Fox News.
De León, who is running for U.S. Senate against incumbent Sen.
Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), described Mateo as: “a courageous, determined and
intelligent young woman who at great personal risk has dedicated herself to
fight for those seeking their rightful place in this country,” according to Fox
News.
Mateo, however, seems somewhat confused about which country she
prefers.
In
a Facebook post in 2016, apparently
celebrating her graduation from Santa Clara University School of Law, Mateo
declared, in Spanish: “[E]verything is dedicated to Oaxaca, Mexico!! to that
land that I miss so much.”
Lizbeth Mateo (Facebook)
While she is
the first illegal alien to hold a state office, she is not the first elevated
to public office in California. In 2015, the city council of Huntington Park,
California, appointed two illegal aliens to
city commissions, sparking a public backlash.
De León and other state officials are stoking an ongoing
confrontation with the federal government over federal immigration laws.
U.S.
US immigration officers arrest Michigan doctor who has lived in US
for 40 years
Clark Mindock,The Independent 20
hours ago
·
Like
A respected doctor who has been in the United
States for nearly 40 years has been picked up by American immigration agents
after the Trump administration denied his attempt to renew his green card.
Lukas Niec, an internal medicine doctor known
for long hours at the hospital in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was picked up by
Immigration and Customs enforcement agents over the weekend.
He’s now reportedly sitting in a jail cell
waiting for word on when he’ll be allowed to return to his normal life — or if
he’ll allowed to do so at all.
Mr Niec, an internal medicine doctor at
Kalamazoo’s Bronson Methodist Hospital, moved to the United States nearly 40
years ago when he was five years old. His parents brought him from Poland in
1979, alongside his sister, who said that they had packed just two suitcases
before making the journey.
“In 1979, my parents were both doctors, left
Poland, and took two suitcases and two small children — my brother was five,
and I was six, and they came here for a better life for their kids,” Iwona
Niec-Villaire, Mr Niec’s sister, told a
local reporter.
But now Mr Niec is facing potential
deportation after living here for the vast majority of his life.
“He doesn’t even speak Polish,” Ms
Niec-Villaire, who is now an attorney, said.
The arrest was made Tuesday while Mr Niec was
enjoying a day off with his daughters at a lake home he owns near Kalamazoo.
Three Immigration and Customs agents entered the home and took him into
custody.
“While Bronson Healthcare, like others,
respects the laws and regulations concerning United States immigration, we are
following the situation surrounding the detention of Dr. Lukasz Niec closely
and are doing everything we can to advocate for Dr. Niec,” the hospital where
he works wrote in a statement Monday. “We have been in contact with our elected
representatives and we have our immigration counsel coordinating with Dr.
Niec’s attorney to explore all options to secure his prompt release from
detention.”
The Trump administration has overseen a spike in immigrant
arrests over the past year, and US immigration services say that the priority
for arrests and raids made is to target individuals with criminal or dangerous
histories. While arrests have been elevated, there have been fewer over all
deportations since President Donald Trump took office.
ICE did not respond to a request for comment
about Mr Niec’s case, and for clarification on how his history qualified him as
a target for the agency.

New York, California Moving to Permit
Illegal Aliens to Practice Law?

Dining Room of the White House, Sept. 25, 2014. Attorney General Holder will

Sapna Rampersaud has
written an article for National Review Online's The Corner titled "Illegal Immigrants Can Now Defend the Laws They
Break,"detailing how the states of New York and California have moved
to permit illegal aliens to practice law. This is the kind of thing one might
expect to see as a headline on the satirical website The Onion, but, sadly,
it's true.
Actually, they've been
headed that way for some time. John Feere, previously a legal policy analyst
here at the Center, wrote about California's efforts clear back in
January of 2014, and commented on the back flips achieved by the California
Supreme Court in deciding that permitting illegal aliens to practice law was
copacetic:
“[N]ew lawyers must
take an oath to ‘support the Constitution of the United States" and must
also pass an ethics exam. The California Supreme Court explained in its holding
that it "assumes’ that a licensed illegal alien ‘will make all necessary
inquiries and take appropriate steps to comply with applicable legal
restrictions.’ The Committee of Bar Examiners explained that ‘there is no
reason to believe’ Garcia [the illegal alien applicant seeking approval to
practice law] ‘cannot take the oath and faithfully uphold his duties as an
attorney.’
“It is unclear why the
court and the bar examiners would assume such things. Illegal immigrants
regularly fail to comply with a whole host of laws. Within Garcia's own circle
of family and friends one can identify a variety of potential legal violations,
if media reports are accurate.
“Garcia admits to
working a number of jobs prior to law school, and depending on how he obtained
the work, he may be liable under False Personation of a U.S. Citizen (18 U.S.C.
§ 911), Fraud and False Statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001), and Social Security
Fraud (42 U.S.C. § 408), just to name a few examples. We estimate that nearly
half of working illegal aliens have filled out I-9 Forms and are likely in
violation of these statutes. If the Obama administration decided to enforce
federal immigration law, Garcia could potentially face many years in jail and
significant fines. It is important to remember that these crimes often create
real victims.”
In addition to Feere's
very cogent observations, I'm also wondering how, exactly, an attorney who is
illegally in the United States can be deemed an "officer of the court." Aren't the two
things, when put together, inherently oxymoronic? An alien who has no lawful
status must inevitably engage in deception and subterfuge in order to remain in
the United States without being apprehended. That doesn't sound like the kind
of upright behavior required of officers of the court.
Moving back to the article on The Corner,
Rampersaud has her own version of the "Mr. Garcia" described above:
“One such lawyer is
Lizbeth Mateo. Born in Mexico, Mateo and her family illegally crossed the
border when she was 14 and have been residing in California ever since. In
2013, Mateo returned to Mexico knowing she had no legal visa to come back and,
as part of what became known as the Bring Them Home Campaign, returned to the
U.S. border with eight other children and demanded unauthorized reentry into
the U.S. — which she was granted. Having graduated from Santa Clara University
School of Law and working jobs that required the use of a stolen Social
Security number, Mateo now spends her time as an immigration lawyer ‘preparing
legal strategies to help undocumented immigrants stay in the country’ — all
while flaunting her own undocumented status.”
“This example
illustrates the extent to which certain states both accept and encourage
illegal immigration. Mateo is praised for being a ‘leader’ and a ‘bold advocate’
but should instead be described as what she is: a lawbreaker. Mateo has taken
an oath of office to uphold the Constitution, but breaks federal law every day.
Square that circle.”
She's right. You can't
square that circle. But one thing I can say for certain is this: It takes more
than just a state license to practice immigration law because, of course,
immigration laws are federal in nature. Attorneys who wish to represent aliens
before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), the Justice Department
division that handles the immigration courts and Board of Immigration Appeals,
must register with and be approved by the EOIR director.
While I don't see any
particular prohibition of illegal aliens in the provision of the federal
regulations governing such registration, at 8 CFR Section 1292.1, it would defy
logic and make a mockery of the immigration courts for the director to approve
such an application for registration.
There is also the
issue of fairness to the illegal alien being represented by another illegal
alien: What happens if his lawyer is arrested before his hearing is completed,
thus leaving him high and dry? For EOIR to permit such a situation to occur
would be tantamount to malfeasance. On the other hand, it defies logic that
certain states have already taken that step-too-far, and that, too, seems to me
to smack of malfeasance.
Maybe it's time that
Attorney General Jeff Sessions steps in to require his new EOIR director to
amend the regulation and make the prohibition against illegal alien lawyers
representing other illegal aliens in the immigration courts crystal clear.
Meantime, if an
illegal alien attorney shows up in court to represent an alien respondent in
removal proceedings, perhaps the presiding immigration judge will have the good
sense to summon immigration agents to arrest the attorney and place him or her
into proceedings as well. After all, they're fair game. Being a lawyer
shouldn't intrinsically place anyone above the law, should it?

Illegal Aliens to
Practice Law? – Revisited
The American Bar Association
building in Washington, D.C. (Wikimedia Commons Photo/Tony Webster)
The House of Delegates of the American
Bar Association (ABA) — the quasi-official body for lawyers throughout the
United States — has passed a resolution affirming its belief that
"[i]mmigration status alone shouldn't bar lawyers from practice."
“The ABA House of Delegates on Monday voted to urge Congress to
allow state courts to permit immigrants who are seeking legal status to obtain
licenses to practice law, and to support ‘the principle that bar admission
should not be denied based solely on immigration status.’”
I have written about my dismay
and disdain for this notion more than once, most recently in a July 19 blog,
wherein I question how people who daily must practice deception, and whose very
presence in this country is in violation of law, could possibly comply with the
bar association's code of ethics, or be deemed "officers of the
court."
I'll admit, though, that part of
me, the less noble part, is amused by the notion. What could be better than
seeing open-borders lawyer advocates having to compete for their livelihood
against those whom they are so keen to see overlooked and forgiven for their
unlawful presence? What better way to snap their attention than to dig into
their bottom lines? Schadenfreude doesn't get any better than that.
I've also been pondering, as I
did before, how and why allowing illegal aliens to practice law would be good
for their clientele. Would you want to hire an attorney who might himself be
arrested in the middle of your own legal entanglements — forcing you to start
over with a new lawyer, at great trouble and expense?
Courts everywhere these days cite
the need for judicial efficiency and economy as driving forces in the way they
set dockets, move through cases, and dispose of motions. Why would any court be
in favor of an arrangement where the arrest of one side or the other's counsel
could happen at any time in the midst of proceedings, because he or she is an
illegal alien practicing law?
Then consider this little thought
experiment: You're sitting in an immigration court, watching a removal case.
The respondent (the alien "defendant") is called before the judge. He
is unaccompanied by counsel. The judge asks him if he is represented. The
respondent says that he will represent himself. The judge asks whether he's
sure that's wise; the respondent answers that he's certain, because he himself
is an attorney. He then asks the immigration judge for a continuance. The judge
asks why, and for how long. The respondent says, "Well, judge it will have
to be for quite a while. I'm carrying a pretty heavy caseload right now, and I
have one civil proceeding in the midst of trial, and another upcoming. I expect
that, between them and the other cases I'm representing in which they will want
me to continue as attorney of record, maybe I could show back up here in, oh
say about two years?"
Of course, in two years, the
respondent will have continued to take on more new cases in order to keep the
money flowing in, with the happy consequence that it continues to make his
appearing before the immigration judge a remote possibility since his removal
would disrupt those cases in which he's attorney of record.
Now I don't suggest that the
immigration judge would necessarily buy into that line of argument — but I
can't absolutely say that he or she wouldn't either. It's absurd, isn't it? But
that, ladies and gentlemen, shows exactly how far to the left the ABA has
meandered in its official positions.

What's happening here is pretty similar to the
specter of millions of illegals marching on Los
Angeles several years ago, waving the Mexican
flag. The disloyalty, the ingratitude, and
entitlement don't persuade anyone that these
supplicants should be given anything as a matter
of right.
DACA recipients yell 'hey, hey, ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to go!'
DACA recipients were at it again, filling the streets around the Supreme Court and beyond, demanding the U.S. to fork over a free right to stay in the U.S. and even put an end to the Trump administration.
And protesters also targeted Trump for repealing the program with chants of "Hey hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go.”
Which is offensive as can be given that President Trump was elected legally by U.S. voters and represents the stated choice of it citizens. He even remains extremely popular among his fellow Republicans.
The whole specter is offensive actually, given that DACA recipients are de facto lawbreakers, yet now view DACA protections not as an act of mercy, but an entitlement. America, see, owes them, based on their time illegally spent in the country.
Worse still, they've made it clear that they only obey laws to their liking. Breitbart reports that DACA recipients are vowing to not leave even if the Supreme Court rules against them. So much for rule of law, something they learned contempt for at mom's hip.
The event was organized by none other than Mr. Soviet honeymooner himself, Bernie Sanders, who's always viewed the U.S. as something to be taken over and 'reformed.'
The presidential campaign for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a 2020 Democratic contender, helped organize the Home is Here Rally in support of DACA, asking supporters in an email to RSVP a week before the demonstrations.
"We must stand in solidarity and show the Trump administration that their cruel and harmful policies will not stand," an email from the group read.
Citizenship means nothing to Sanders, any more than gratitude.
What's happening here is pretty similar to the specter of millions of illegals marching on Los Angeles several years ago, waving the Mexican flag. The disloyalty, the ingratitude, and entitlement don't persuade anyone that these supplicants should be given anything as a matter of right. They certainly don't, or shouldn't, move the Supreme Court, which is deciding their case on relevant interpretation of the law. Mob yelling isn't the way a decent jurist does law.
What the specter of illegals protesting does do is serve as a reminder that U.S. immigration laws are still badly in need of enforcement. The only thing any decent law-abiding American can think as these foreigners yell for free stuff is that they need some deporting to learn some humility, justice and gratitude for what they had. Those are things they have yet to become familar with. They just wanted to overturn the results of the 2016 election because they don't believe in representative democracy. All they believe in is lawlessness that favors themselves.
