Organizations Try to Adopt New Strategies in The Face of Growing Local Initiatives in USA Aimed Against Illegal Aliens ("Undocumented"– [sic])
WASHINGTON, D.C. Anti-illegal alien measures are proliferating coast-to-coast in the United States. Adding to that the new federal administration initiatives, pro-immigrant groups are up against he wall, so that there is the need to organize strategies to counter this big wave, such as conducting marches, as this battle promises to intensify. Eric Guttierez is a lawyer in charge of legislative affairs for the Mexican American Defense group called MALDEF. He said that their group wants to be everywhere at any time, but it is simply not possible and for that reason they are required to take anti-measures on state levels and work with local organizations with effective strategies to fight the new anti-illegal immigrant initiatives.
MALDEF has had some luck in restraining many of these initiatives. For example, last week, they were successful to have the federal government weigh on behalf of day laborers against the city of Baldwin Park, California, which tried to get through a resolution prohibiting public solicitation for work in parking lots and on the street by the illegal aliens. They were successful in coalition with the National Network of Day Laborers (NDLON) and the United Day Laborers of Baldwin Park.
But Guttierez says over all the local initiatives are growing, and for MALDEF it simply is impossible to fight then everywhere throughout the country. It would be complicated and expensive. After the failure of the US federal government to pass immigration legislation of a comprehensive nature to help the immigrants, the fight then passed to the States and the localities of the USA. But at the same time there are pronounced differences on just what is the best strategy to fight such initiatives in legal battles.
There arose differences on just how to go forward as the best way to push for help for illegal immigrants, but now there are differences as various local measures that are anti-immigrant come up. Boycotts? Marches? Demonstrations?, Direct Lobbying of local US Councilmen and Supervisors? Telephone Calling Campaigns? The Naturalization for the Right to Participate in Elections?
These are the questions, but the answers are all complicated, just as the Hispanic community itself is diverse. Each community seeks its own ways to counter this wave, to try to be effective.
(Rest of article summarized with main points)
--There are propositions to decentralize this fight against foreigners in the USA (sic and this is being suggested by such groups as MALDEF, and other pro immigrant groups in multiple localities, but we cannot dance to that music, observe NLACC.
--Reasons for the difficulty is that is simply impossible to be on the front lines of the battle in every locality, for lack of money or organizational strength nationwide.
--Flavia Jimenez of National Council of LA RAZA (NCLR) said that as a national group, it is difficult for them to move to be everywhere at anytime, because each state and local situation is difference. There are cases where the pro-immigrant (sic) organizations are stronger in some areas of the country than in others.
--There are established networks of support for Hispanic communities, to face these horrible decrees. They can mobilize, and there are other communities where these Latino presence is growing, but recently, like "support battalions".
--Ricard Juarez of the group Mexicans Without Borders, admits that marches and boycotts have limited "definitive results." But there are no other options for that which we are doing. We are trying to complement it with other actions. Such as allying with other pro-illegal alien ("inmigrante") groups, non-Hispanic groups, etc...
--In Prince William County (in Virginia), for example, they have no other option, because of the anti-illegal alien initiative which got through, even though in his opinion the voices of pro-illegal aliens would surpass those of the anti-immigrants.
--Every day more and more announcements of action taken against illegal aliens on the local level is cornering us, and not to mention the federal measures…the option is that we either go into hiding, or we go to the front and fight. So the decision was to go to the boycott, to say “we are here, that we contribute, and we want to be recognized” said Juárez.
--Local business can get together, with a war chest, and lobby local leaders, from the perspective that the Supervisor’s initiatives will harm business, that business pays taxes, and that if they are adversely effected, the County will be adversely effected, too.
--Chacon on the other hand, says he has two theories. On is that local anti-illegal alien measures try to smooth the way for changes on the federal level. "If you study it, you will see that where the anti-immigration forces are losing, it is they lose in essence because these regulations are deemed unconstitutional." The other is that this local movement is preparing for more federal action, just like the Bush Administration had proposed very early on. But Congress, even if in the hands of the Democrats, cannot pass these because it would take Republican support."
(END OF TRANSLATION)
Press commonly uses "immigrant" and "undocumented" for "illegal aliens", and "anti-immigrant" for "anti-illegal immigration".
I think this is a fair article, showing quite openly where their weaknesses are and how they can be exploited.

“It Is Becoming Difficult To Defend Immigrants” (Illegal Aliens)* (TRANSLATION)”
It certainly took a long time to come to this conclusion.
My translation: "They're on to us!"
Someone needs to tell Bill O’Reilly he just got through saying there way no way we were going to deport 12 million illegals. We just might surprise some people. I think they thought that shamnesty scam was a slam dunk too.
Brilliant strategy, La Raza. More protests filled with screaming illegals waving Mexican flags... that will definitely help your cause!
LA PINGA
Illegal Immigrants’AKA Criminal aliens would have No reason to be defended if they would just stay in their own countries.
La Raza....the Klan with a tan !!!
Maybe it is just me, but the marches only tick off Americans more. The more noise they make the more they will be disliked, in my opinion.
This can indeed be pushed past the "tipping point".
Actually, engaging here in classic Sun Tzu and Aikido Asian martial arts and mindskills.....
You will see, you will sense, that they will engineer their own destruction on this issue. They will lose their cool and "tip it" themselves, while we all watch.
They are so stupid. It is actually fun, if not sad in a sense from an embarrassment perspective, to witness their growing discouraged discord and confusion, thus sowing the very seeds to their own political defeat.
They should get out while the getting is good. They represent 5-10% of the American viewpoint, there is no way they can turn this around and reverse those numbers.
But they are more or less the same pasajeros on the same barco.
To La Raza I would say, beware using your anti-American, typical Hispanic, anarchy inspiring, overly forceful tactics in American cities. Americans don’t appreciate those tactics from aliens who shouldn’t even be here. It will only buy you more “grief” and more “horrific” local laws.
Complete and utter bovine excrement.
The same here in Loudoun.
Folks are fed up with the arrogance of the illegals and their ringleaders.
It may have woken up 100% of the illegal immigrant community but it also woke up 60-70% of the Americans, which far outnumber the illegals, so by sheer numbers of the visibility they created, they only succeeded in engineering MASSIVE anti-illegal alien BLOWBACK, quite the reverse effect.
That is why they rushed to replace the Mexican flags with US flags, but most Americans already caught on and are much too clever to be tricked that way. LOL
I owe you 385 in change! Sorry!!

Surely they will invited to the White House to map out a strategy for defeating the nativist American xenophobe vigilante voters.
Rove has plenty of free time to give his compadres at La Raza a hand, and he’s been on their side in the past.
