Guest Commentary | An open letter and appeal to Sen. Alex Padilla
Santa Cruz Sentinel ^ | July 2, 2025 | By Unhae Langis

Dear Sen. Alex Padilla,

I would like to extend my gratitude for your speaking up against ICE deportations at the DHS meeting last month. I was utterly appalled by the sight of a U.S. senator being roughed up and handcuffed.

As a fellow person of color, you must realize the ugly truth of racism that underlies this outrageous action: racism against brown people (the darker the worse generally) within a structure of white supremacist imperialism that plagues our lives.

• H.Res. 488 (or Senate equivalent)

Which in denouncing the Boulder, Colorado, antisemitic terrorist attack expresses “gratitude” for law enforcement officers including ICE

Karen Diamond was burned to death by a Muslim illegal alien. Thank God for the law enforcement agents who put an end to this terrorist attack

Alex Padilla’s parents are illegal alien’s. He is a filthy scumbag anchor baby who needs to be deported along with his parents. The sooner the better. No exception.

You guys have to read the rest of it as it prattles on about Zionists trying to exterminate the poor innocent Palestinians - partly because their skin is darker.

It’s alarming that we are surrounded by so many self-deluded nutjobs constantly searching for a cause that villainizes our nation. Do they still make those bumper stickers: “America - Love It or Leave It”?

Very little to no reporting of what Alex Padilla actually did - Padilla said he was “trying to ask a question” - which the media backed up as if had peacefully raised his hand when Nazis and KKK threw him to the ground for no reason...

“Noem stated that Padilla did not identify himself when he interrupted her remarks, shouting and lunging forward toward the podium. According to Noem, Padilla’s actions disrupted the event, prompting security to remove him from the room.”

Padilla is an embarrassment and disgrace - but given California voters + illegals voting + vote fraud, he will be elected in a landslide.

Praying that Trump cleans up the voter rolls in California:

"GOP Would Pick Up at Least 5 California Congressional Districts if Illegals Were Not Counted in Census – Rep. Burchett"

See comment #2.

Apparently Padilla is an anchor baby.

If Trump does anything during this term - and he’s already done a lot of great things - I hope he ends once and for all birthright citizenship.

It would be interesting to know how many members of the Padilla family have served this country in uniform. I make it a point to ask and I’m appalled at the number of times I meet people whose families arrived post World War II yet have not seen a single male member of the family join the military. Disgusting.

Someone has to go to college to be this stupid. UCSC is a great stupidity factory. Probably went there.

It would be wonderful if he were to end it and make that retroactiveto 1960 or so. Kamel Harris is also an anchor baby.

Author of letter exhibits very limited knowledge, and understanding of the world, people, and history.
Author shouldn’t have admitted that he/she/they/it was a person of color. The “single lens” viewpoint displayed makes “people of color” look ignorant.

Okay. Either way he needs to represent Tampico.

Since this TWOT assaulted a cabinet official he should have been removed on a stretcher. And, “lunging” = assault. Look at the full video, he went after her like he wanted to strangle her. Had she not been white he’d have been shot.
