Hispanic activist Carlos Quintanilla was arrested in Irving on an accusation of driving with an invalid license and other charges Thursday, the same day he was organizing an immigration rally.

Mr. Quintanilla said Accion America was holding its latest rally to urge police to not take people into custody for minor traffic violations just because they don't have a state-issued identification card or driver's license.

This article should be sent to that guy who heads "Mexicans Without Borders", or whatever that stupid organization is, that is opposed to crackdowns in Virginia. It seems he himself is an illegal.

I think they need to start arresting and deporting the ringleaders. This to me seems to be the best offensive, potent action. It makes for good psy war, too, if we are talking about trying to orchestrate massive self deportation (to save us the cost and trouble).

Carlos Quintanilla

They should find where he got his forged papers from and kick him out.

[AmericanInTokyo]

They got him on these:

criminal trepass from the Dallas County sheriff’s office;

expired registration,

failure to maintain financial responsibility,

and speeding from Farmers Branch police;

no seat belt,

no driver’s license and

city ordinance violation from Dallas police.

Perp!

Guilty!

I hope Johnny (Nyfong) Sutton doesn’t hear about this from a Mexican drug gang. This cop will end up in a federal jail.

<(snip)...In the center of the chaos stood Carlos Quintanilla. Atop a bench, he shouted through a bullhorn about how the anti-illegal immigrant measures the council was about to pass were discriminatory. He led a group of mostly Latino protesters in the chant made famous by Cesar Chavez. "Si se puede!" (We can do it!) he yelled again and again. He'd been leading chants outside, but now, inside the atrium, it seemed louder. He drew angry looks from Anglo residents who supported the measures, which make English the town's official language, allow local law enforcement to screen suspects' immigration status and prohibit landlords from renting to illegal immigrants. But Quintanilla also got some anxious glances from some Latinos who, like him, were there to oppose the proposals. A fellow member of the League of United Latin American Citizens told Quintanilla, who became a member of one of the group's local chapters last year, to stand down, saying he shouldn't be representing the organization. "Get out of my face," Quintanilla says he replied. "I don't need to listen to you." As the Farmers Branch immigration brouhaha made national headlines, Quintanilla emerged as the face of vociferous dissent, a high-profile Hispanic leader quoted frequently by English- and Spanish-language newspapers and often pictured on local news broadcasts. But in the weeks after the council unanimously passed the provisions, he quarreled with other activists over how to fight back, showing that at a time when Latinos are uniting against anti-immigrant forces, they're also plagued by division.

It got violent down there a little bit, at times:

Cesar Chavez was against illegal aliens invading the country. He encouraged his followers to turn them in. He also led a Minute Man style watch on the border.

These criminals are pissing on everything Cesar Chaves stood for and worked for. I’d like to see and anti-illegal rally at the new Cesar Chaves statue in Austin.
