2007, The Chicago La Raza, Inc. Published 08-23-2007

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."

Two thoughts worth considering, regarding our recent victories--as reflected in this translation of this Spanish language article:

"If one gains victory in battle and is successful in attacks, but does not exploit those achievements, it is disastrous. This is called waste and delay"--Sun Tzu

and

"So the principles of warfare are: Do not depend on the enemy not coming, but depend on our readiness against him. Do not depend on the enemy not attacking, but depend on our position that cannot be attacked."--Sun Tzu

These good reports, and our success in stopping U.S. Senate/BUSHamnesty earlier this summer, could get us off our game, get us off our guard. We need to ramp up things even more, now that there is blood in the water and we can see the enemy's weakness. No chance for him to regroup or fortify. We must push now until a) as many counties of the 3,000 in the whole USA pass such similiar anti-illegal alien ordnances, and b) the southern border wall/fence is built completely and c) mass deportations, forced or self-induced, start in earnest and en-masse. We will not have won, America will not have won, until then.

WIC = Women, Infants, and Children

It’s welfare.

The moment the rabbit dies, any mother or mother to be (well it might a bit harder for citizens) can apply for and receive WIC vouchers. Or checks now I guess. The pregnant women must eat well so they can have a healthy anchor baby. It's birth, food, medical needs and schooling etc paid for by you and I and the rest of us law abiding tax paying citizens.

The next time you go to the supermarket, look at the milk and egg section and you will see certain brands with a little sign “WIC approved”. All of those items (and many others) can be purchased with the WIC card. You and I pay for their food.

Now that the essentials are paid for by you and me, they can use their welfare checks to buy cigarettes, booze steaks, drugs etc.

there is the need to organize strategies to counter this big wave, such as conducting marches, as this battle promises to intensify.

I hope they do. THAT is exactly what angered Americans before. You don't march through the streets in another country where you are a criminal invader and DEMAND anything. When it intensifies they're going to find out what a real battle is.

Most countries around the world would declare war on another nation that invaded them, but our leaders are so corrupt that they stand by and watch it happen. They have been bought and paid for with big corporate donors.

.....the Hispanic press shows they are deathly afraid but they have not surrendered yet.... we must continue to march forward and agressively take as much territory as we can. Local resolutions by City Councils, State Legislators and Supervisors goes a long way...

Another equally important strategy is to cut off LR's funding. Keep in mind that the US Govt (that's us, the taxpayers) funds LaRaza.

"There are established networks of support for Hispanic communities, to face these horrible decrees." So, demanding that we enforce American law is a horrible decree.

"support battalions" sounds to me awfully like an invading army, no?

I'm so sorry it's "becoming difficult" for them. Maybe if they stopped lying for a second. No one is not defending "immigrants" - in fact, for 40+ years the country has been flooded by them. Every bleeding heart like Kennedy wants us to become a third world cesspool and bends over backwards to welcome them.

So now not only do we take in more actual immigrants than any other country, we take in an equivalent amount of illegal aliens and all their extended illegal families.

If these pro-illegal alien groups want to lump it all in together, then fine, I will call for a time-out on all of it. Let's get back to a point where we can support our rapidly declining infrastructure, schools, hospitals, and natural landscape, then we'll talk.
