The Beltway is buzzing over President Obama's likely nomination of Thomas E. Perez as the next head of the U.S. Department of Labor. But when Americans find out whom Perez has lobbied for most aggressively over the course of his extremist leftwing social justice career, they'll be wondering which country Obama's pick really plans to serve.
Press accounts describe Perez, currently the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's civil rights division, as a "tireless advocate of worker and civil rights." The son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Perez was a former special counsel for the late illegal alien amnesty champion Sen. Ted Kennedy.
During the Clinton years, Perez worked at the Justice Department to establish a "Worker Exploitation Task Force" to enhance working conditions for ... illegal alien workers. While holding down his government position, Perez volunteered for Casa de Maryland. This notorious illegal alien advocacy group is funded through a combination of taxpayer-subsidized grants (totaling $5 million in 2010 alone from Maryland and local governments) and radical liberal philanthropy, including billionaire George Soros' Open Society Institute.
That's in addition to more than $1 million showered on the group by freshly departed Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez's regime-owned oil company, CITGO.
As I've reported previously, Perez rose from Casa de Maryland volunteer to president of the group's board of directors. Under the guise of enhancing the "multicultural" experience, he crusaded for an ever-expanding set of illegal alien benefits, from in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students to driver's licenses and tax-subsidized day labor centers. Casa de Maryland opposes enforcement of deportation orders, has protested post-9/11 coordination of local, state and national criminal databases, and produced a "know your rights" propaganda pamphlet for illegal aliens that depicted federal immigration agents as armed bullies making babies cry.
The group can claim credit for pushing the White House to issue an estimated 800,000 illegal alien deportation waivers by executive fiat. And now, Casa de Maryland is currently leading the charge for an even broader illegal alien "path to citizenship."
Questioned by GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions during his DOJ confirmation hearing in 2009 about the illegal alien rights guide produced by Casa de Maryland, Perez grudgingly stated that "the civil rights division must not act in contravention to valid enforcement actions of our federal immigration laws."
But "act(ing) in contravention" of the law is at the heart of Perez's and Casa's radicalism -- and not just on behalf of illegal aliens.
During his tenure with the Obama DOJ, Perez sought to undermine electoral integrity by attacking South Carolina's voter ID law. His race card antics were rebuked by a unanimous U.S. District Court panel (which included a Clinton appointee), and the law prevailed.
Perez was instrumental in covering the backsides of the militant New Black Panther Party thugs who menaced voters and poll watchers in Philadelphia in 2008. The American Spectator's Quin Hillyer recounted that a federal judge challenged the veracity of Perez's testimony about DOJ political appointees' interference on behalf of the Panthers. "This came after Perez also had, apparently unlawfully, refused to honor valid subpoenas from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights -- and it was in addition to yet another falsehood by Perez, this one to the effect that DOJ had sought the maximum allowable penalty against the Panthers," Hillyer reported. "While the original decision to dismiss the case pre-dated Perez's appointment to the Justice Department, his direct involvement in, and hands-on management of, what amounted to a cover-up of the decision's origins should alone be disqualifying for any Cabinet post."
Perez also helped spearhead the lawsuit against Arizona over its immigration enforcement measures and launched a three-year DOJ witch-hunt against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The vengeful investigation against Arpaio, the nation's most outspoken local law enforcement official against illegal alien crime, was dropped without charges last summer. Perez is leading similar witch-hunts against police departments across the country based on leftwing junk science theories about racial "disparate impacts."
With Senate Republicans John McCain, Lindsey Graham and company folding like lawn chairs on Obamamnesty, open-borders groups are thrilled at the prospect of another victory with Perez's nomination. Last week, conservatives stood with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., over John Brennan's nomination as CIA director. Who will stand for American workers in opposition to Obama's pending secretary of illegal alien labor? Anyone?
Great. The ID stealing, drunk driving, vote thieving, resource bleeding, racism screaming, tuition demanding, copper stealing, child molesting, taco czar. Just what we needed.
Isn’t it a bit odd that a president would appoint agency heads who are hellbent on destroying said agencies? Only someone with a kill mission on America would do that.
Only someone with a kill mission on America would do that.
You have that exactly right.
That’s the ONLY way to DESTROY things on our country....FROM THE INSIDE....just like Obama being President, Hagel being Secy of State, etc. etc. Obama said in his own words that you have to be on the inside to CHANGE....read DESTROY.
And I agree
Perez is BAD news!
It is an article of faith in O's "community" that all US laws, rules, regs, our constitution our govt and its agencies, etc----exist for one purpose: to preserve the "status quo." In their tortured minds that means to elevate and maintian whites in positions of power in order to diminish non-whites to servile status, to keep non-whites in their place,
Thus, the destruction of the "meritocracy" is complete. We now have the empowerment of the dregs of society---those on the margins, criminals, law-breaking latinos, etc etc etc.
=========================================
FReeper Aemilius Paulus on aother thread has nailed it precisely.
Live with it, white America. We are considered "the conquered people". And our troubles have only just begun. The only humor---if any---in this woeful situation is watching Obama voters who sap-happily figured "egalitarianism" would become the norm once O was elected. They will soon learn how very wrong they were.
I don’t doubt it one bit. As a matter of fact the entire administration is bad news
A good one today about Perez
Obama’s choice for Labor Secretary refused to rule out bringing Sharia blasphemy laws to the U.S.
[snip]Hagel: Pro-Iran, anti-Israel. Brennan: Muslim Brotherhood jihad apologist. Kerry: dunce. And now this. “Obama to Nominate Sharia Supporter, Illegal Immigrant Advocate as Labor Secretary,” by Matthew Vadum at the American Thinker, March 12:
Perez is apparently in favor of Saudi-style anti-blasphemy laws. In Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries offenders can be condemned to death merely for insulting Islam.
Amazingly, at a congressional hearing last year, Perez pointedly declined to rule out bringing such laws to the United States. At the July 27, 2012, meeting of the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on the Constitution, Perez refused to say whether he would uphold the religious speech protections in the First Amendment in the future.
“Will you tell us ... that this administration’s Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion?” Congressman Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) asked four times to no avail.
Perez, like so many Obama administration officials, believes that America is a seething hotbed of “Islamophobia,” filled with ignorant racist rubes who irrationally fear the Muslim religion. He has worked with hardcore Islamist groups such as the terrorist-linked Islamic Society of North America and applauded Islamists for lobbying against airline security measures....
