Monday, May 1, 2006 9:06 p.m. EDT Dobbs: Radicals Running Immigrant Movement

A leftist anti-war group has seized control of the immigrant movement that staged mass protests across the U.S. on Monday, says CNN's Lou Dobbs.

Praising the Washington Post for being the only newspaper that has reported that the radical leftist group ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) was an active promoter of Monday's national boycott, Dobbs noted that the movement chose May 1, the traditional International Worker's day sanctified by the Soviet Union and Marxist movements throughout the year to stage their protest.

Speaking on his CNN show Monday, Dobbs said that "Some illegal immigration and open borders activists in the Hispanic community are deeply concerned about the involvement of the left-wing radical group [ANSWER]. But others, like Juan Jose Gutierrez, whom I've interviewed a number of times over the past several months, manages to be both director of Latino Movement USA and a representative of ANSWER.

"As Gutierrez told us on my show, 'The time has come ... where we need to stand up and make a statement. We need to do what the American people did when they pulled away from the British crown. And I am sure that back in those days many people were concerned that was radical action.'

"Just how significant is the impact of leftists within the illegal immigration movement?" Dobbs asked, explaining that "It is no accident that they chose May 1 as their day of demonstration and boycott. It is the worldwide day of commemorative demonstrations by various socialist, communist and even anarchic organizations."

Radicalism, Dobbs continued "is not confined to Gutierrez and Latino Movement USA, explaining that Ernesto Nevarez of the L.A. Port Collective is promising to shut down the Port of Los Angeles today: '[Transportation and commerce] will come to a grinding halt. ...They are going to put a wall along the border with Mexico. We're going to put a wall between us and the ocean. And those containers ain't going to move.'"

Dobbs is not alone in citing ANSWER's involvement in today's protest. On their web site, the Los Angeles ANSWER group spelled out their backing, proclaiming "On May 1, stand up for immigrant rights. Join immigrants and supporters to make May 1 a national 'day without an immigrant.' We will settle for nothing less than full amnesty and legalization for the millions of undocumented workers presently in the United States. Let’s show the government, corporations and politicians that a powerful, united peoples’ movement has the power to win Civil Rights, workers’ rights and make history. No Work! No School! No Business as usual!

"The ANSWER Coalition, along with other pro-immigrant organizations, has been working hard to build May 1 and the overall immigrant right struggle. We've passed out over 150,000 flyers for May 1, gathered thousands of petition signatures demanding amnesty for all immigrants and held public street meetings all over Los Angeles to promote the movement. Join the struggle for full equality and justice today!"

Said Dobbs: "No matter which flag demonstrators and protesters carry today, their leadership is showing its true colors to all who will see."

I just wish Lou and all others would start referring to the Marxist anti-American group ANSWER by a far more appropriate acronym:

C-ANSWER

.

[Gordongekko909]

ANSWER, huh? Paging Pied Piper Pitt...

[M1Tanker]

For more on ANSWER and their Orweillian nightmare see the links below. The truth about ANSWER, WWP, Code Pink, DU, Not in Our Name, the terrorist groups they openly support at thier protests, and their national socialist allies at Stormfront and the Black Bloq need to be shown daily!!! The pictures of their protests the media refuses to release must also be displayed. If there were real "investigative journalists" remaining, then these socialist dictator wannabes would have long ago been run out of the country for the traitors they are.

Build and man the FENCE.

[Reactionary]

Once again, the mainstream media does nothing but make the ravings of Stalinists into prime time news.

[stopem]

There's no doubt the sinister tone this all has taken

Washington must take this seriously and the worse thing they could do would be to give the miscreants amnesty.
Place armed guards on the border until they build a fence.

Some are convinced that Dobbs has a hate Bush/anti conservative agenda and claim Dobbs is using his anti illegal immigration stance to hurt this administration. I don't see it that way, but welcome him shedding light on who is running this movement.

My thoughts are that Bush and the GOP controlled Congress are responsible for the lack of border security since 9/11. Politicians can whine and make excuses all they want, but that's a fact. Since facts are facts and our President and Congress have ignored their constituents who have begged them to secure the borders for years, it is no surprise that we have run out of patience and do not trust our representatives any longer. Passing the buck won't fly anymore. We want some border security action NOW! To hell with the immigration bill. It can wait.

Lou makes sense to me. I like Lou Dobbs.

[Lancey Howard]

Newsmax should know better than to use the word "immigrant" in a headline like that. All they are doing is helping the scumbags blur the distinction between true immigrants and illegal aliens.

"Some illegal immigration and open borders activists in the Hispanic community are deeply concerned about the involvement of the left-wing radical group [ANSWER].

Radical isn't strong enough for this group. Communist is the correct term. ANSWER is staffed and is essentially a front for the openly Marxist Workers World Party

Notice the Red star, the image is from their own website.

They are pro illegal immigrant, pro homosexual, pro Castro, pro-Chavez, Pro Big and Little Kim (N. Korea), pro Osama (they refer to him as the "so called terrorist") and were pro Saddam before that became OBE., and most definitely anti American. And they've been around since 1959, well before the US involvement in Vietnam. They were quite active in that anti-war movement as well. The Workers World Party is, literally, a Stalinist organization. It came from a split within the old Socialist Workers Party over the Soviet Union's 1956 invasion of Hungary -- the WWP folks thought it was just peachy. Nice folks.

BTW, don't go to either of those links unless you have very strong, and preferably empty stomach.

There is a lot of odd groups behind this:

Answer is one of them as you can see there web address on the banner in back.

Of course the Socialist were in on it as well.

Look at the map on the right.

I think they want more than just amnesty.

Shows me that these Republicans when push comes to shove are owned by the same people (elites) as the dems. (Pls get out of the destructive group.)

I disagree. I saw him on Larry King today and he was definitely not using the illegal immigration to bash Bush, unlike people like Tancredo and many here at FR.

The map? Did you notice whats behind the cross on the crest?

[MikeHu]

The ANSWER people have an unblemished record for managing million-people parades/movements down to just themselves throwing frisbees in Dolores Park, denying they were ever involved in any disobedience -- wandering what next populist impulse they can exploit and proclaim themselves the leaders of and kings for a day.

So I wouldn't be too concerned about their ability to organize an effective anything but their own mass-buying trips for "medical" marijuana.

It's getting harder and harder to believe Bush is really interested in "homeland security."

[ballplayer]

You really are blind ,Dobbs on his show no matter what he is talking about immigration ,Iraq ,the budget always has snide remarks about Bush and the administration.
This mess began in 1965 when the immigration law was reformed and heralded and pushed through the senate finally by the fat pig from Mass.Ted Kennedy.All that did was change the quotas of immigrants to favor Africa ,Asia and Latin America over western Europe.The descent began then not with the Bush administration and the GOP congress.
You expected Bush to do things that no representative in this Govt would go near.The only thing any of these people will do is open the borders wide open ,so just get used to it
