Press conference denounces Utah raid
On May 13, pro-immigrant organizations held a press conference and emergency rally to protest the ongoing raids and deportations targeting undocumented workers across the United States.
Community leaders and organizers demanded that the raids and deportations be stopped and called for immediate and comprehensive immigration reform.
The federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid on May 12 in Postville, Iowa, at Agriprocessors Inc., the nation's largest kosher slaughterhouse, is a prime example of these racist attacks against the working community. About 700 workers, more than half of the plant’s workforce, were arrested in the raid. As a result of this racist action by the federal government, more innocent families have been divided.
The latest raid on the undocumented community is what sparked the Los Angeles call to action.
Speakers at the press conference and rally included Juan José Gutiérrez, Latino Movement U.S.A.; Angelina Corona, Executive Director of Hermandad Mexicana Nacional; Raúl Murillo, president of Federación de Clubes de Chihuahua; Ian Thompson, ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) organizer and former Iowa resident; and Cecilia Rodríguez, director of Alianza Hondureña de Los Angeles.
"The situation where the immigrant communities are under siege by ICE and other local police agencies has become intolerable," stated Gutiérrez.
Thompson gave a statement of solidarity with the immigrant community: "These racist raids are crimes against the immigrant communities from small-town Iowa to Los Angeles. There shouldn’t be any second-class citizens. All people who labor should be recognized and treated as equal under the law. We won’t stop organizing until we achieve full rights for all undocumented people and ICE is shut down completely."
Party for Socialism and Liberation members distributed dozens of candidate statements from Marylou Cabral and Stephen Hinze, PSL candidates for Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Districts 4 and 5. Both candidates demand that ICE be thrown out of Los Angeles County and that Southern California be designated a sanctuary for undocumented workers.
The action was covered by all the major Spanish-language media stations. ANSWER’s Los Angeles office received dozens of calls of support in the hours following the event.

U.S. CBP agent arrested on suspicion of conspiring to smuggle undocumented immigrants-Jesus M. Huizar, 28, the agent, is a five-year veteran of the force, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.
One of the aspects of illegal immigration that you don’t hear a lot about is the significant number of communists that cross the border. Hermandad Nacional Mexicano (The Mexican National Brotherhood) was founded by marxists who immigrated to start a revolution here.

The left's plan for turning this country into a third world sh** hole.
The best thing for Mr Thompson to do is to physically confront ICE agents while flailing his arms and screaming "Tengo una bomba".

DRUGS MADE AT KOSHER MEAT PLAN
JTA ^ | 05/13/2008 | Staff
Federal authorities charged that a methamphetamine laboratory was operating at the nation’s largest kosher slaughterhouse and that employees carried weapons to work.
The charges were among the most explosive details to emerge following the massive raid Monday at Agriprocessors in Postville, Iowa.
In a 60-page application for a search warrant, federal agents revealed details of their six-month probe of Agriprocessors. The investigation involved 12 federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the departments of labor and agriculture.
According to the application, a former plant supervisor told investigators that some 80 percent of the workforce was illegal. They included rabbis responsible for kosher supervision, who the source believed entered the United States from Canada without proper immigration documents. The source did not provide evidence for his suspicion about the rabbis.
The source also claimed to have confronted a human resources manager with Social Security cards from three employees that had the same number. The manager laughed when the matter was raised, the source said.
At least 300 people were arrested Monday during the raid, for which federal authorities had rented an expansive fairground nearby to serve as a processing center for detainees.
The search warrant application said that 697 plant employees were believed to have violated federal laws.
Agriprocessors officials did not return calls from JTA seeking comment.”

Uhhh... That's part of the problem... They're NOT "second class citizens." They're NOT citizens at all. In fact, they're not even "guests." They're illegal aliens.
One of these days, when I've got some extra time on my hand for jail, I think that I'm going to go to the house of one of those illegal alien supporters, pitch a tent and a lawn chair on their front lawn, and when the police get there to haul me off, I'll just tell them that I'm an "undocumented resident" of that house!

“prole-feed” def.: rubbish produced by `news organizations’ for the masses.
Example:
`Community leaders and organizers demanded that the raids and deportations be stopped and called for immediate and comprehensive immigration reform.’
translated:
‘Leftist trouble-makers/ne’er do wells pleaded with news organizations to stop the US from enforcing its immigration laws, and for full and complete amnesty.’
I guess the ICE raiders at Postville let go the Ukrainians and Israeli illegals they found, but kept the Mexicans. Don’t let ANYONE try to pin the “racist” label on those of us who believe that the immigration laws need to be enforced.
Sorry.
You may want America to become a second or third world country like the ones you come from, but that is not how it works. You are welcome to become Americans and obey our laws and want our laws enforced or you are free to leave.
They’re arresting people who are in the country illegally. That’s not racism. And since when did Mexicans become a separate race?
Why are we required to pay any attention to the stupidity of groups like ANSWER?
For 35 years this filth has spread across our country like a cancer turning us into some grotesque hint of our former self. It’s about time our Federal government took notice.
The latest raid on the undocumented
So it is racist to enforce the laws, what is it for breaking into the county. Grab the barf bag is an under statement.
