Assembly Speaker John Pérez a Cal dropout, not grad
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 5/19/11 | Lance Williams, California Watch

Posted on 05/19/2011 9:54:17 AM PDT by SmithL

When Rep. Hilda Solis inserted remarks in the Congressional Record praising Los Angeles activist John Pérez as "an asset to the labor movement," she was recounting the life story of a man who would later become California's Assembly speaker.

"After graduating from the University of California Berkeley, John began working on designing and organizing education programs," Solis, then a Los Angeles congresswoman and now U.S. secretary of labor, wrote in 2004.

But the record is wrong: Pérez dropped out of UC Berkeley and never returned.

For a decade, Pérez's designation as a UC Berkeley graduate went unchallenged in newspaper articles, biographies and public pronouncements - until after he won his first Assembly race in 2008.

Since his election, Pérez has emerged as one of California's most powerful officials. He was elected Assembly speaker in 2009. As speaker, he is also an ex-officio regent of the University of California.

His latest official biography says he attended UC Berkeley. But until 2008, biographies of Pérez often said he had graduated from the prestigious public university, records show.

Well, maybe one of Cali Assembly Speaker John Pérez's other identities graduated (snix).

Illegal Jose Madrigal, the Washington state rapist, had some 30 identities.

And of course “unchallenged” by Perez himself which shows he was was a party to the fraud

Yet keep him around, California. You’re your own worst enemy

QUESTIONS Assembly Speaker John Pérez should be REQUIRED TO ANSWER

<><> Do you support the Dream Act as a vehicle to tear down US democracy?

DREAM ACT DEMONSTRATION----- 2009

<><> Have you made deals with illegal aliens to exchange campaign cash and votes to use your office to get illegals US govt handouts----free education, EITC, welfare, food stamps, UI, SS, SSI, healthcare, sub-prime mortgages, subsidized bank loans?

<><> Do you know exchanging gratuities for political favors is a felony?

<><> Do you know which identity illegals use to register to vote for you?

=================================

July 21, 2006----BERGEN RECORD, NJ

Texans accused of selling counterfeit IDs (impoverished illegals "here for a better life" pay several thousand $$$ for fake ID's)

Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, NJ L/E authorities said.

The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses---- for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said state police.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution. The Drug Interdiction Task Force regularly runs checks.

The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. Authorities approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately.

The Texas brothers consented to a search. Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs. All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####

Continuing the Mexicanification of California, with all the corruption, cronyism and exploitation that involves. Just damn. Our beautiful state turned into a Third World hell hole, with a thin layer of the super rich on top, a vast ocean of poverty and ignorance and grasping spite on the bottom, and a shrinking and increasingly pressed middle class being taxed and regulated out of existence.

His not graduating doesn’t matter. His failure to correct the record does.

For a decade, Cali Assembly Speaker John Pérez was party to a fraud---for ten years, he allowed his public credits to include UC Berkeley graduate. He never once challenged numerous newspaper articles, biographies and public pronouncements describing him as a graduate.

Usually when one fraud surfaces---others were committed. Pérez should be rigorously scrutinized by L/E.

L/E might be looking at the parameters of criminality including: fiduciary negligence; illegal conversions of govt money; facilitating govt fraud; official acts prohibited; misuse of public funds; misuse of govt position; abuse of govt power; conflict of interest; influence buying; conspiracy to deceive; misuse of govt office, collusion, conspiracy to collude; presenting false instruments for filing; forgery; extortion. Other crimes might include: forgery, extortion, healthcare fraud, and electronic/postal fraud, making false statements to government officials, falsifying government documents and concealment of facts on government documents.

“Visualization leads to realization”

This means that to keep the vision before one, one is motivated work to achieve that goal.

Leftists and New Agers (and, unfortunately, some Christian pastors) pervertered it, like everything else with which they come into contact, to mean, “wishing/visualizing it makes it so”; the essence of magic.

Somehow, though, no matter how much they visualize driving a Rolls to their penthouse office suite, they still only find a 35 year old Renault in the garage, that takes them to the nearest “demonstration” gig.

Instead of learning that that doesn’t work, and working harder, they instead double down, and wish harder.

Statement: "Assembly Speaker John Pérez a Cal dropout, not grad"

Response: It does not matter as he is part of the conquering Mexican leadership class who will govern for the benefit of 'his people.' For Americans it is as the Gaul said to the Roman: "Woe to the Conquered!"

Selection of web site bloggers:

<><> He majored in Chicano studies which requires that you dropout and fake your resume in order to get a passing grade. He minored in Disneyland attractions---restaurants that serve Mexican food.

<><> Nothing says CA politican like a Chicano studies Unionist! Is there any wonder we are doomed?

<><> His cousin, LA Mayor Villagarosa was a major La Raza activist at UCLA----Chicano motto is "for our race everything, for others nothing". Looks like Mr. Perez was following down the same path.....hating white people in college, then using it to get political kudos from the Latino community and liberals to get a political leg up. Then later faking being white friendly, getting labor secretary Hilda Solis to pump his self-esteem.

<><> He's untouchable gay, Latino. Whats not to like? I hate the way the feds give La Raza grant money, then they funnel it back to politicians like Perez, and in turn get more federal grant money. ugh.

<><> SO MUCH IRONY.....Come now a Gay Hispanic Democrat drops out of LIBERAL art degree program. AT BERKLEY! It's like Arnold fathering a child out of wedlock, only better because Perez is still in office.

<><> If you looked up the term "Identity Politics", this article and Prrez would be referenced. The ONLY way it could have hit the liberal erogenous zone is if he was in a wheel chair caused by an accident with an oil truck with Texas license plates.....liberals would have been on their knees fellating Perez on the front page of the Chronicle.
