Huge March for Immigrant Rights in Los Angeles on Saturday

Racist white nationalist leader says, "The American people should not be surprised if the long-expected Second Mexican War starts this Saturday"

Los Angeles, Alta California - March 22, 2006 - (ACN) This Saturday March 25, pro-immigrant organizers hope to surpass the over 100,000 activists that marched for immigrant rights in Chicago on March 10. The LA massive march will begin at 10:00 a.m. at the intersection of Olympic and Broadway then proceed north on Broadway to the downtown Federal Building where a huge rally will take place.

The Los Angeles march and rally for immigrant rights has the support of a large number of organizations and groups. The event has the potential of being the largest ever in the city's history. Participating will be Los Angeles area progressive Mexican-American and Latino groups as well as other anti-racist activist organizations such as AnswerLA. A big boost for the march and rally is the participation of labor unions such as the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the Catholic Church whose Cardinal Rogelio Mahony has instructed his priests not to obey the proposed anti-immigrant Sensenbrenner Legislation if it becomes law.

Organizers of the LA march and rally have made provisions to protect the marchers after a well known racist made a threat on his website. Glenn Spencer of the anti-Mexican "American Border Patrol" wrote on his website today, "The American people should not be surprised if the long-expected Second Mexican War starts this Saturday". Glenn Spencer is formerly from Los Angeles but moved to the Arizona/Mexico border to harass Mexican migrant workers. Spencer, whose ancestors are migrants from England, has long advocated for a war with Mexico and often sites Caspar Weinberger, former Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan, and his book "The Next War" in which Weinberger writes that the USA is headed for a war with Mexico. There are extremely dangerous White nationalist groups in the USA such as the Minutemen Vigilantes that are itching for a shoot out with Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. They are just waiting for the right time to start a civil war and experts have speculated that they may "stage" a provocation in order to justify doing it.

We are hoping for a peaceful march and rally this Saturday. We must however be very alert for racist agent provocateurs that may want to utilize the event to start a riot. The situation in Los Angeles is presently very tense and we must not allow for people like Glenn Spencer to spark a major violent incident. We have received unverifiable information that members of the Minuteman Vigilantes will be attempting to infiltrate the crowds and provoke the LAPD to attack the marchers. We appeal to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to do every thing possible to assure that peace and harmony prevails in "The City of Angels" this coming Saturday.

Sounds like a preemptive excuse for the invaders to start the "riot" themselves.
