Day labor battle brewing: Minutemen, Casa of Maryland set stage for showdown in Takoma Park
Gazette.net ^ | February 22, 2006 | Sean Sands

An organization trying to stop illegal immigration started work in the downcounty last week, photographing contractors who pick up day laborers in Wheaton and making plans to expand to Silver Spring and Takoma Park.

And while Stephen Schreiman, president of the Maryland chapter of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, said his group would work covertly for the time being, Casa of Maryland, a workers’ rights group that runs day laborer centers in Silver Spring, Wheaton and Takoma Park, said it would take the opposite approach...

...

‘‘We are going to target them in a specific way,” said Executive Director Gustavo Torres. Casa representatives will go out with cameras and video cameras to record the Minutemen, but that will only be the first step, he said.

‘‘Then we are going to picket their houses, and the schools of their kids, and go to their work,” Torres said.

....

‘‘In this area, the commercial sector hasn’t been harmed in the sense of people being deprived from work because of the day laborers being here,” he (Erwin Mack, Takoma-Langley Crossroads Development Authority) said. ‘‘Consequently, while there are issues with their right to be in the United States, that’s not what we’re concerned about. We’re concerned that they wait in an area that doesn’t hurt our commercial properties.”

....

Schreiman said his group plans to turn its findings over to local and state law enforcement, though he said he was not aware of Takoma Park’s status as a Sanctuary City. Takoma Park law prohibits any employee, including its police officers, from assisting or cooperating with federal investigations or arrests related to immigration issues.

‘‘That’s blatantly a criminal act as far as I’m concerned,” Schreiman said. ‘‘That means they’re aiding and abetting the transport and hiring of illegals, if they refuse to cooperate.”

Exactly. South of the border, kidnapping children on the way home from school is routine, for example.

Apparently Chris Core, the morning radio host on WMAL talked about this on his show today. I didn't hear the show, but it seems that Chris doesn't like the idea that his tax money is being used for the Casa de Maryland gang to threaten citizens and stalk their children.

He's upset enough about it that he has made it easy for his listeners to contact the Montgomery County Council.

Have at it, folks!

Here's what you need to know, from WMAL AM630's website:

Speak Out!!!!

Tired of Montgomery County funding Casa de Maryland, as Chris discussed Friday morning? Click HERE to contact the Montgomery County Council to let them know how you feel.


You can also listen to previous day's radio shows on-demand, by clicking on this link. They only have a one week, rolling archive, so if you want to hear today's show you'll need to do it before next Friday.

I've lived in suburban Maryland, Montgomery Kounty, for the past 6 years. They are a strange breed.

Although most identify with the libs because their pay check comes from the Feds or because they are Jews who feel its their duty to vote liberal, they have a weird conservative bent. ( I suspect living with a sniper helped.)

I think they won't tolerate this too long. They are a population that, if push comes to shove, they will react, especially if Casa starts terrorizing children. Not Acceptable.

Just wish more of them would wake up post 9-11 and realize it's to time to push like the dickens.

What good are the police if not to be able to assist in fed investigations?!

Well, I'm sure they can ticket you for not wearing a seatbelt and make sure you don't smoke anywhere.

Grew up there in the 70's and 80's, moved west in 1992. It just seems to have gone mad since. Plus from a distance, you realize how strange multi-generational government employee families are.

Goons declare war on Minutemen and their families.

Takoma Park is a brain free zone.

The only way I can figure is that Casa will have people following the children as they walk to school


I ask you...what would do immediately...if you saw someone taking pictures and following YOUR CHILDREN to school??

Let's hear it.

I wonder if Takoma Park Police will go after the Casa people who are stalking young children?

I doubt it. They're just doing the stalking and privacy invasion that Americans won't do.

I think when they picket their houses they should be met by some armed Americans who ain't going to take it anymore. Threats against children are obscene. Perhaps these folks are also child molesters and pediphiles?

This is Takoma Park. All you'd probably get are old farts in ponytails going "Peace, man, can you dig it?"

Totally understand. You know we have those folks here in Texas also.

Do I understand correctly that the old farts in ponytails are restricted mainly to Austin down there?

Where I come from, this is a declaration of war. Threatening our children is completely out of line, even for the criminal alien lobby. I wonder if the Quisling Brigade will come around to defend these disgusting threats by criminal aliens?

I'm sure that Tamar Jacoby and the Wall Street Journal Editorial Page will call it justifiable self-defense.

It's amazing to me that no one seems to have a problem with tax dollars and illegal immigrant being used in the same sentence let alone for one to help the other!

Thanks for the ping.
