Black Group Blasts L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa for Supporting Arizona Boycott
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND Action, blasted Los AngelesMayor Antonio Villariagosa and City Council members Ed Reyes and Janice Hahn for their motion introduced this past Tuesday calling on the city of Los Angeles to institute a boycott in response to the Arizona immigration law, SB1070.
“Mayor Villaraigosa and City Council members should follow Arizona’s lead and address the Los Angeles illegal immigration crisis which is greatly contributing to the cities financial decline,” said Rev. Peterson b“Illegal immigration is having a negative impact on Los Angeles residents—especially black Americans, who are under siege and have to compete with illegals for basic health and education services.”
A new study by Louisiana State University indicates that Hispanic immigration has caused black workers to be uprooted from low-skill labor markets, which in turn has increased crime in urban areas across the country. The study found that over the last two decades many illegals are moving back and forth across the U.S.-Mexico border less often. The large number of illegal aliens who remain in the U.S. have flooded manufacturing, construction, and agriculture industries, displacing blacks from these jobs.
“It’s apparent that Mayor Villaraigosa and at least seven of the council members care more about the plight of Hispanic illegal aliens in Arizona than they do about the residents of Los Angeles. We will oppose Villaraigosa and any City Council member who tries to get this motion to boycott passed,” Rev. Peterson said.

Hah!
Mea culpa. I was not familiar with his positions, so I guess this wasn't an earth-shattering response. Quite the opposite, he's one of the few acting in the best interests of his community.
Ping!
Thanks Hijinx
It’s the least I can do...although I suspect some folks are cursing me for filling up their pings page...!
Divide and conquer! May the house of cards, otherwise known as the liberal Big Tent, come crashing down.
LOL, I have thought of it myself a time or two!
It’s great to see us doing things to take our country back. I am going to post a thread later in the day on how to get your city council to pass an e verify law. Tedw is doing that. I will ping you.
Yeah but he is of hispanic background.
Villaraigosa is L.A.’s Obammy.
Just what they needed to get over their Hispanic racism.
In SoCal nobody says:
“Los Angeleans”
they Might say
“Anglenos”
Perfect!! >:-}
HELP !!
I thought so!
Abigail12,
I live in a Gerrymandered congressional district created to insure a black congressperson.
My Congressional thief is Alcee Hastings.
Convicted and impeached former federal judge.
What part of Calif?
I lived in N. Hollywood and Chatsworth for 10 years. Got out a long time ago.
Well, I did live in Long Beach. Now I live in Ontario CA. its as far away as I can get right now! LOL Where do you live?
I must confess that economics is not my thing. At the very least, I do not consider free enterprise and small, limited government to be the be-all and end-all of everything.
I am not a social Darwinist. I am not against "welfare." I'm not even against "affirmative action." There are far more important issues, such as the imminent wrath of the A-mighty for the moral cesspool our country has become--unfortunately, partly because Blacks and Hispanics have intentionally made an alliance with the forces of evil.
In Europe the "right wing" is far less libertarian economically (and the "left wing" is far less libertarian sexually). Compared to today's San Francisco, Communist Bulgaria under Todor Zhivkov was an ocean of sanity.
I do not come from the Jeffersonian political tradition but from the Hamiltonian. Unfortunately, about a hundred years ago (or perhaps at the New Deal) the Hamiltonian elites on the coasts junked their traditional conservatism for leftist radicalism, leaving the conservative movement with nothing but Jeffersonians to lead it. And I must confess that I do not have a great love of the Jeffersonians, with their economic dogmatism, their fanatical strict constructionism, and their notorious anti-moralism. The Jeffersonian does not care what you do so long as his tax dollars don't pay for it and consider any and all moral crusades (unless they are done in the name of local ethnic heritage rather than universal truth) left wing "nanny statism."
How I long for the resurrection of a Hamiltonian conservative leadership.
I was born in L.A. I’m a native!!! I’m being driven out of my own city...there ought to be a law! THERE ARE! But they’re not being enforced....sigh...
Been to the Ontario Motor Sreedway twice.
NOw a condo from what I hear?
I live in the country west of Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Don’t know about that...I went when I was young but don’t remember where it was...Probably still here somewhere...
HOORAY Jesse! Thanks for the ping, abigail2.
