Political Parties-the 2 headed snake

Outrageous slurs from new head of Ark. Repub Party

Republican
State Executive Party and Karen Ray:                                                         September 21, 2007

The
Republican Party nationally, and more specifically the Republican Party of
Arkansas, has again proven to be criminally involved and dysfunctional. 

The State
Executive Party members, using little judgment, have hired an immature D.C.
firebrand to lower the Party from a moribund enterprise to one which has little
or no regard for the Constitution, the rule of law, and middleclass taxpaying
Arkansas’ citizens.

Before this
woman is officially employed she attempts to destroy what little is left of the
Arkansas Republican Party, she is engaged in firing salvos that torpedo citizen’s
 efforts to curtail the illegal Mexican
and OTM invasion and suggests efforts  as
passé and she encourages businesses who hire illegals to come to our
state.  She shows utter contempt again,
for the rule of law and the welfare of middleclass Arkansans and is willing to
grovel at the feet of the Tyson’s, Wal-Mart, Georges, Simmons, Arkansas Farm
Bureau, the Chambers of Commerce, et al.

The
firebrand Ms. Karen Ray is a D.C. graduate of the largest criminal enterprise
in the history of civilization, i.e. Bush/Cheney/Gonzales/Chertoff…all experts
in criminal activities, such as torture, surveillance, and attacks on
individual freedoms.  Ray is alleged to
be working as the confidential assistant to the Assistant Secretary for
Immigration & Customs Enforcement at the Dept. of Homeland Security.  One would conclude that in this capacity she
is working to secure our sovereignty and deport the illegal hordes who are
stampeding our state and nation resulting in the destruction of  middleclass Americans, more specifically, a
greater toll on our Black citizens.  

Self-serving
government types such as Ms. Ray and the evil Bush administration are
destroying our sovereignty, thumbing their nose at the rule of law (Article 4,
Section4) and the moribund Republicans have never once raised the question
about Mike Huckabee’s criminal behavior in bringing a Mexican Consulate (a
clearinghouse for illegal Mexicans) to our state. That was in violation of
Article 1, Section 10.

In addition
to Ray proposing to violate U.S. Immigration statutes included in this missive,
Ray is quite comfortable with the use of the pejoratives, “racist & racism”,
which suggest a backstabbing viciousness on a very high level.

The
Executive Committee should at once resign and Ms. Ray’s contract declared null
and void.

It is distressing to see
the level to which the Republican Party has descended, completely disregarding
the tenets that gave rise to making this a preeminent republic and further
willing to turn our once proud country into a 3rd World dumping
ground in order to satisfy the greedy desires of criminally involved
corporations, some of whom I have  previously named.

 

This whole affair is embarrassing
and indeed a disgrace. Log on arkansasfreedom.net

Federal statutes accompany
this fax, pay particular notice to 1324c which authorizes ALL law enforcement
to uphold immigration laws.

Good morning
Phil,                                                                        
September 20, 2007

 

Long time since 271 & Cavanaugh Rd and a belated
congratulations on your appointment.

 

Reviewing your testimony at Rep. Green’s hearing this
week regarding the illegal alien invasion, I was glad to see you are in touch
with the Feds regarding Arkansas’ law giving authority to ASP to pick up
illegals.  However; I was not encouraged by your final response, that
anything of a positive nature is not going to happen—maintaining the status
quo, which is not acceptable.

 

You stated it would cost $118,000 per head to train
troopers.  May I remind you that there is over a billion in revenue
surplus  in the state coffers.

 

This morning’s headline in the Times Record, “Beebe
unaware of immigration law”.  I’ll be euphemistic—the governor is not
telling the truth, and as AG, what does that say about Beebe?

 

You may not be aware of the Federal Statutes that give
all, I say again, ALL policing agencies the legal responsibility to arrest
illegals as well as all those hiring, transporting, housing, aiding or abetting
illegals and charge them with a felony, accompanied by prison time and hefty
fines.  See accompanying copies of the laws. Governor Beebe has been sent
copies of the laws on at least 3 occasions while he was A.G.

 

You have spent a good deal of time in NW Arkansas and
should be more than aware of the huge cost foisted upon middleclass Arkansans
to subsidize illegals healthcare, welfare, education, penal, etc.  At the
same time it is disconcerting to find out an ASP watch commander in Springdale
stating last year he did think there was a gang presence in NW until his
brother-in-law was gunned down.  Do you think that trooper was in a
trance?

 

In any case Phil, I know you owe your position and some
allegiance to Governor Beebe, but your real responsibility is to protect the
citizens of Arkansas, not the corporate master puppeteers. You are one of us
Phil, don’t get carried away with NW Ark sociability, i.e. don’t forget your
roots.

 

The Republic is at stake.

 

Kindest regards,

Officials: Lincoln, Pryor,
Beebe, McDaniel, Boozman, Ross, Berry, Snyder, Stodola, etc., etc.

 

Please explain to the citizenry
why these laws, in effect for years, have not and are not being enforced.

The laws are being sent over
the country to inform taxpaying citizens of the criminal conduct you “servants
of the people” (yah) are perpetrating against us to keep the cheap slave labor
invading our borders to benefit your corporate sponsors and the Mexican
government with $billions being sent back HOME, and to protect your
self-serving, sorry behinds.

The destruction of our
Constitution, rule of law, and sovereignty obviously mean nothing to you.

 

Citizens: Federal laws not enforced—why?

Federal
Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)

“Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien
to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such .
. . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . .
for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under
title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.”

Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and
Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):

A person (including a group of persons, business,
organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:

* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally
in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering,
or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or

* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring
him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in
any way, or

* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal
convictions.

Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment,
and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime. Anyone
employing or contracting with an illegal alien without verifying his or her
work authorization status is guilty of a misdemeanor. Aliens and employers
violating immigration laws are subject to arrest, detention, and seizure of
their vehicles or property. In addition, individuals or entities who engage in
racketeering enterprises that commit (or conspire to commit)
immigration-related felonies are subject to private civil suits for treble
damages and injunctive relief.

Recruitment and Employment of Illegal Aliens

It is unlawful to hire an alien, to recruit an alien, or to
refer an alien for a fee, knowing the alien is unauthorized to work in the
United States. It is equally unlawful to continue to employ an alien knowing
that the alien is unauthorized to work. Employers may give preference in
recruitment and hiring to a U.S. citizen over an alien with work authorization
only where the U.S. citizen is equally or better qualified. It is unlawful to
hire an individual for employment in the United States without complying with
employment eligibility verification requirements. Requirements include
examination of identity documents and completion of Form I-9 for every employee
hired. Employers must retain all I-9s, and, with three days’ advance notice,
the forms must be made available for inspection. Employment includes any
service or labor performed for any type of remuneration within the United
States, with the exception of sporadic domestic service by an individual in a
private home. Day laborers or other casual workers engaged in any compensated
activity (with the above exception) are employees for purposes of immigration
law. An employer includes an agent or anyone acting directly or indirectly in
the interest of the employer. For purposes of verfication of authorization to
work, employer also means an independent contractor, or a contractor other than
the person using the alien labor. The use of temporary or short-term contracts cannot
be used to circumvent the employment authorization verification requirements.
If employment is to be for less than the usual three days allowed for
completing the I-9 Form requirement, the form must be completed immediately at
the time of hire.

An employer has constructive knowledge that an employee is
an illegal unauthorized worker if a reasonable person would infer it from the
facts. Constructive knowledge constituting a violation of federal law has been
found where (1) the I-9 employment eligibility form has not been properly
completed, including supporting documentation, (2) the employer has learned
from other individuals, media reports, or any source of information available
to the employer that the alien is unauthorized to work, or (3) the employer
acts with reckless disregard for the legal consequences of permitting a third
party to provide or introduce an illegal alien into the employer’s work force.
Knowledge cannot be inferred solely on the basis of an individual’s accent or
foreign appearance.

Actual specific knowledge is not required. For example, a
newspaper article stating that ballrooms depend on an illegal alien work force
of dance hostesses was held by the courts to be a reasonable ground for
suspicion that unlawful conduct had occurred.

IT IS ILLEGAL FOR NONPROFIT OR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS to
knowingly assist an employer to violate employment sanctions, REGARDLESS OF
CLAIMS THAT THEIR CONVICTIONS REQUIRE THEM TO ASSIST ALIENS. Harboring or
aiding illegal aliens is not protected by the First Amendment. It is a felony
to establish a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading any provision
of federal immigration law. Violators may be fined or imprisoned for up to five
years.

Encouraging and Harboring Illegal Aliens

It is a violation of law for any person to conceal, harbor,
or shield from detection in any place, including any building or means of
transportation, any alien who is in the United States in violation of law.
HARBORING MEANS ANY CONDUCT THAT TENDS TO SUBSTANTIALLY FACILITATE AN ALIEN TO
REMAIN IN THE U.S. ILLEGALLY. The sheltering need not be clandestine, and
harboring covers aliens arrested outdoors, as well as in a building. This
provision includes harboring an alien who entered the U.S. legally but has
since lost his legal status.

An employer can be convicted of the felony of harboring
illegal aliens who are his employees if he takes actions in reckless disregard
of their illegal status, such as ordering them to obtain false documents,
altering records, obstructing INS inspections, or taking other actions that
facilitate the alien’s illegal employment. Any person who within any 12-month
period hires ten or more individuals with actual knowledge that they are
illegal aliens or unauthorized workers is guilty of felony harboring. It is
also a felony to encourage or induce an alien to come to or reside in the U.S.
knowing or recklessly disregarding the fact that the alien’s entry or residence
is in violation of the law. This crime applies to any person, rather than just
employers of illegal aliens. Courts have ruled that “encouraging”
includes counseling illegal aliens to continue working in the U.S. or assisting
them to complete applications with false statements or obvious errors. The fact
that the alien is a refugee fleeing persecution is not a defense to this
felony, since U.S. law and the UN Protocol on Refugees both require that a
refugee must report to immigration authorities without delay upon entry to the
U.S.

The penalty for felony harboring is a fine and imprisonment
for up to five years. The penalty for felony alien smuggling is a fine and up
to ten years’ imprisonment. Where the crime causes serious bodily injury or
places the life of any person in jeopardy, the penalty is a fine and up to
twenty years’ imprisonment. If the criminal smuggling or harboring results in
the death of any person, the penalty can include life imprisonment. Convictions
for aiding, abetting, or conspiracy to commit alien smuggling or harboring,
carry the same penalties. Courts can impose consecutive prison sentences for
each alien smuggled or harbored. A court may order a convicted smuggler to pay
restitution if the alien smuggled qualifies as a victim under the Victim and
Witness Protection Act. Conspiracy to commit crimes of sheltering, harboring,
or employing illegal aliens is a separate federal offense punishable by a fine
of up to $10,000 or five years’ imprisonment.

Enforcement

A person or entity having knowledge of a violation or
potential violation of employer sanctions provisions may submit a signed
written complaint to the INS office with jurisdiction over the business or
residence of the potential violator, whether an employer, employee, or agent.
The complaint must include the names and addresses of both the complainant and
the violator, and detailed factual allegations, including date, time, and place
of the potential violation, and the specific conduct alleged to be a violation
of employer sanctions. By regulation, the INS will only investigate third-party
complaints that have a reasonable probability of validity. Designated INS
officers and employees, and all other officers whose duty it is to enforce
criminal laws, may make an arrest for violation of smuggling or harboring
illegal aliens.

State and local law enforcement officials have the general
power to investigate and arrest violators of federal immigration statutes
without prior INS knowledge or approval, as long as they are authorized to do
so by state law. There is no extant federal limitation on this authority. The
1996 immigration control legislation passed by Congress was intended to
encourage states and local agencies to participate in the process of enforcing
federal immigration laws. Immigration officers and local law enforcement
officers may detain an individual for a brief warrantless interrogation where
circumstances create a reasonable suspicion that the individual is illegally
present in the U.S. Specific facts constituting a reasonable suspicion include
evasive, nervous, or erratic behavior; dress or speech indicating foreign
citizenship; and presence in an area known to contain a concentration of
illegal aliens. Hispanic appearance alone is not sufficient. Immigration
officers and police must have a valid warrant or valid employer’s consent to
enter workplaces or residences. Any vehicle used to transport or harbor illegal
aliens, or used as a substantial part of an activity that encourages illegal
aliens to come to or reside in the U.S. may be seized by an immigration officer
and is subject to forfeiture. The forfeiture power covers any conveyances used
within the U.S.

RICO — Citizen Recourse

Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to
obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or
actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud
statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The
pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the
listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group
of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, AND CAN
INCLUDE NONPROFIT ASSOCIATIONS.

Tax Crimes

Employers who aid or abet the preparation of false tax returns
by failing to pay income or Social Security taxes for illegal alien employees,
or who knowingly make payments using false names or Social Security numbers,
are subject to IRS criminal and civil sanctions. U.S. nationals who have
suffered intentional discrimination because of citizenship or national origin
by an employer with more than three employees may file a complaint within 180
days of the discriminatory act with the Special Counsel for Immigration-Related
Unfair Employment Practices, U.S. Department of Justice. In additon to the
federal statutes summarized, state laws and local ordinances controlling fair
labor practices, workers compensation, zoning, safe housing and rental
property, nuisance, licensing, street vending, and solicitations by contractors
may also apply to activities that involve illegal aliens.

 

 

 

Huckabee shameful record

Great expose’ of Huckabee’s true ugly record

Arkansas
Editorial Says Mike Huckabee Is Closest of all Candidates to Hillary Clinton

A recent editorial (Sept. 10, 07)  entitled “Hillary vs.
Huckabee?” in the Arkansas paper, The Leader, begins by
saying: “Mike Huckabee said on ABC’s  ‘This Week with George
Stephanopoulos’ that he would be the Republicans’ best candidate because his
record contrasted the most sharply with hers. Our former governor might be the
GOP’s best candidate against Sen. Clinton, at least among the present and forthcoming
challengers, but his strength would be that he is closest to, not farthest
from, Sen. Clinton on the issues and their records. (See
below for more excerpts from the article and the link to the article: )

The Leader’s editorial  reminds me of  one of 
Arkansas’s best known liberal writer John Brummett’s article,  February 1,
2000 in which he says : “As it happens, Huckabee governs about as
Clinton governed, and Boozman [Huckabee’s appointee]  directs the
state Health Department about as Dr. Joycelyn Elders directed it, save the
brutal and over-the-top rhetoric…The state’s leading liberal Democratic
journal (the only one), the weekly Arkansas Times at Little Rock, has in recent
issues put Boozman on the cover and suggested it might have been wrong about
him and put Huckabee on the cover as ‘Arkansan of the Year’ and extolled his
Clintonesque moderation...  His moderation is evident in that his most
touted program is a form of liberal-lite. It is the expanded and modified
Medicaid for kids in families of the working poor that he calls ARKids
First.  In another article Brummett had this to say ” Mike
Huckabee, despite his rhetoric and religious conservatism, has been more of a
moderate progressive, like modern Democrats, at least in a broad historical
context encompassing race and immigration and spending.”

Monday,
September 10, 2007 Excerpts from The Leader Arkansas paper.

EDITORIALS>>Hillary
vs. Huckabee?

Fantasizing
about a race for president against Sen. Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee said on
ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” that he would be the Republicans’
best candidate because his record contrasted the most sharply with hers.
Half of his equation could be right.

Our former governor might be the GOP’s best candidate against Sen. Clinton, at
least among the present and forthcoming challengers, but his strength would be
that he is closest to, not farthest from, Sen. Clinton on the issues and their
records. Better than the others, he might carve into the middle ground of
independent voters who would otherwise tilt toward the Democrat.

We noticed that he was not very specific on their contrasts. It was strange
that he vaguely mentioned two comparisons: education and health care. It would
be hard to separate the former Arkansas governor and the former Arkansas first
lady on those issues, based on their Arkansas records. It was on education and
health care that as Arkansas first lady she made a lasting imprint.

She was the author of the higher school standards that were approved in 1983
over her husband’s imprimatur, and she worked to expand children’s health-care
initiatives, founding the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families.
Huckabee claims education and children’s health care as his best innovations.

So what is the contrast? You will remember that ArKids First, the great
expansion of government-paid health insurance for children, was Arkansas
Advocates’ suggestion to the newly sworn in Gov. Huckabee in 1996. He eagerly
embraced it and calls it even today his proudest achievement. Sen. Clinton’s
husband, as president, brought it about on the national level a few months
afterward.

We presume that Huckabee, alone among the GOP presidential candidates, favors
expanding the national children’s health initiative, which Sen. Clinton and all
the Democratic members of the congressional delegation favor.

As governor, Huckabee sought and won a federal waiver for a plan to have the
federal government — that’s you — subsidize health insurance for poor adult
workers. Other Republicans, including President Bush, are opposing that remedy
as creeping socialism.

Education affords the best comparison. Huckabee likes to lump the Clintons
together as a unit, which is fair. So how do they stack up? Hillary’s tough
school standards in 1983 forced some gradual school consolidation as school
districts failed to measure up to the standards over five years.

Huckabee demanded wholesale and immediate school consolidation and abolished
more than 50 of them in one swoop. He wanted more than 100 other school
districts consolidated but the legislature balked. Does he dare boast about
that?
Taxes? Huckabee raised them considerably more in 10 years than Clinton did in
12. Clinton vetoed a 4-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax, and it passed over his veto.

Huckabee fathered a 4-cent increase in gasoline and diesel taxes. He claims
before conservative audiences that the voters, not he, approved those taxes,
but that is not true. Debt? The Clinton regime produced a small increase in
general state indebtedness, to fund water projects and college construction.

Huckabee accounted for bigger increase in general state debt — the kind that
taxpayers are obliged to service — than all previous Arkansas governors
combined. Sen. Clinton is nailing down union endorsements in the Democratic
primary. Huckabee is the only Republican candidate to seek them.

Quotes from other Arkansas articles that support the thesis that Mike
Huckabee Is Closest of all Candidates to Hillary Clinton:

Huckabee’s pro illegal alien agenda- unbelievable!

 

·                   
See following link for n Arkansas newspaper articles that outline
Huckabee’s pro illegal alien agenda. One quote from the article 
will give you an idea: “Gov. Mike Huckabee said Thursday that a bill to
deny state government benefits and voting rights to illegal immigrants is
‘inflammatory… race-baiting and demagoguery.’ He challenged the Christian
values of its main sponsor.”  We don’t believe that Hillary could
do any better!   http://www.wpaag.org/Huckabee%20pro%20illegal%20alien%20agenda%20-%20unbelievable.htm

 

Government Control

 

·                   
As an example of Huckabee’s idea of government control  vs
local control, he actually called for superintendents to be appointed by the
State Department of Education, saying in his educational plan, A
superintendent, who will have the authority to hire and fire principals and
central office staff, will administer each district.  The
authority to hire and fire the superintendent will rest with the director of
the state Department of Education, [whom Huckabee appoints].
 Only Hillary Clinton could dream of  such arrogance and power. 
 For this and other such outrageous government control ideas from
Governor Huckabee’s own paper  on education , see this link: http://www.wpaag.org/Huckabee’s%20Ed.%20Plan%20-2%20Parts.htm 
Also see this link with numerous examples of how Huckabee and his appointed
Director of Arkansas Department of Education did a better job than Hillary in
government takeover of the schools in Arkansas.  http://www.wpaag.org/Simon%20Appointment%20Cause%20for%20Concern.htm

Health Care & Other Issues

 

·      Getting health
coverage for every Arkansan is now a goal of Gov. Mike Huckabee’s
administration, the governor and top administration members confirm. (Isn’t
that just what Hillary tried at the very beginning of her husband’s
presidency?) “Health care for all ranks high on list for governor,”
Monday, June 5, 2000 Arkansas Democrat Gazette. 

 

·         Concerning
Huckabee’s Arkansas Kids First Department of Human Services Director Tom Dalton
said, “This program will put us in a very small group of states that
virtually provides a kind of universal coverage for children.  
Few states will cover children up to 20 percent oft he poverty level.  I
don’t know of any in the South. ”  Plan would bridge gap in
health-care system”  “Plan would bridge gap in health-care
system”, by Kevin Freking,  Arkansas Democrat Gazette, Feb. 9,
1997

 

·      Advertised on
handouts to use in schools to recruit people to sign up for Arkansas Kids First
the following quote is found:  “We are looking for organizations
to partner with us in an outreach effort to contact families and children….When
children are enrolled in ARKids First, their coverage includes the following:
(How many of you have insurance this good, even with your exorbitant priced
plans?) Name of pamphlet “About ARKids First” obtained from school
counselor who said they were given instructions to find as many children as
possible for the program.

Chiropractor

Laboratory and X-ray

Durable Medical Equipment

Prescription Drugs

Outpatient Hospital

Vision Care

Outpatient Mental and Behavioral
Health

Speech Therapy

Podiatry

Medical Supplies

Nurse Midwife and Nurse

·     Concerning
“Our Kids First” health insurance for children, Huckabee is quoted as
saying, “The program will push Arkansas from near the bottom among the
50 states in expenditures for health care for children to first in the
country.  The program is already being “heralded as a model for other
states,” (“Session could be regarded as very effective”
March 28, 1997 Jonesboro Sun.) On the same day this article was
published, The Sun also published  an AP article
saying,   “The intense focus is (health insurance) is driven
by Democrats’ effort to incrementally expand access to health insurance…Clinton
aims to cover 5 million children over the next four years by enrolling more who
are eligible for Medicaid, and by giving states $750 million a year to develop
or expand subsidy programs. (Arkansas Our Kids First children’s health care is
paid for by state and federal money.) 

 

·    Huckabee wrote an
article entitled “Why I Am Against Instituting School Prayer”
published July 1999.  At the following link a liberal praises him for that
article saying,  “But Huckabee said he never could understand why so
many people ‘railed against (the absence of) prayer in schools when they didn’t
even pray at home.’ … “I felt it was not the schools’ job,” he said, to teach
his children to pray, but the family’s… For himself, Huckabee quipped, “I
prayed in school every time I took a math test.’ This writer goes on to say,
“That’s, um, right. In fact, when I worked at Americans United for
Separation of Church and State, I’d make practically the same argument on a
regular basis.”  http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/9855.html  
At the close of the article this writer said “He [Huckabee] doesn’t have a
prayer” in getting the conservative nomination. Name of article “I
prayed in school every time I took a math test”

 

·    Another article with
headline reads: “Huckabee says year-round school in Tennessee model for
Arkansas.”  Hillary Clinton wants schools to be open from 6:00
am. to 6:00 p.m. year round to  match the parents’ work schedules.
Arkansas Democrat Gazette, September 23, 1997.

 

·    “Huckabee touts national
certification as goal for Teachers“ is the headline of another
article.  Arkansas Democrat Gazette, August 9, 1999.

 

·     Gov. Mike Huckabee
on Friday announced another condition he wants before he calls a special
legislative session on education — the appointment of a panel of teachers to
meet in secret to offer advice to himself and the Legislature…  The
panel of teachers Huckabee would appoint would consist of nine teachers who
would be current or former state “teachers of the year” or Milken Award
winners. http://nwanews.com/adg/News/141121/
( Milken Awards are Presented on the Basis of Innovation, Not on Test Scores or
Academic Achievement and are given to Educators who incorporate global UNNESCO
curriculum)  For another article that gives extensive details on Milken
Award Winners, see this link:  http://www.wpaag.org/Huckabee%20Wants%20Milken%20Award%20Winners’%20Input.htm
” Huckabee Wants Teacher Input from Milken Award Winners”

 

·    “Clinton, Huckabee joins
obesity fight.” is the headline of an article in Arkansas Democrat Gazette
May 4, 05 with a picture of Huckabee and Clinton together at a
microphone.  The first paragraph reads,   “Arkansas
Governor Mike Huckabee addresses reporters during a news conference with former
President Clinton on Tuesday in New York. In many schools  in
Arkansas now the teachers can no longer allow cupcakes to celebrate their young
students’ birthdays, and all students have to be weighed annually and parents
notified of their weight problem.  (Some teachers have nicknamed
Huckabee’s obesity fight as “The Fat Police”.)

 

 Taxes

 

·        The
House of Representatives approved Thursday what would be the largest ever
Arkansas state tax increase, sending the $360 million-a-year measure for
education to the Senate for expected approval today.  (Arkansas Democrat
Gazette, February 6, 04 by Michael Rowett and Michael Wickline)  This was
at the request of Governor Huckabee.

 

·       
Mike Huckabee said Monday that he supported a set of proposed changes
in state education law that includes $ 309 million in increased school funding,

We don’t hear Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee touting these things on
the campaign trail now that he is appearing before conservative voters in the
nation. 

To those that have followed Mike
Huckabee’s governing philosophy in Arkansas, this editorial that says Huckabee
is closest of all the candidates to Hillary Clinton comes as no surprise. Mike
Huckabee was able to push Hillary Clinton’s governmental controlled educational
reforms faster than she, herself,  was able to do as the Governor’s wife.  
If there is any surprise, it is that a paper would have the courage to say it.

Attacks on anti-illegal immigration proponents

Letter to editor Democrat-Gazette regarding 3 attacks in one week

200 Comments

 

 

 

Arkansas’ high priest of illegal immigration and resident
neo-con is in full damage control.  Three
Democrat-Gazette editorials in one week denigrating American citizens re: their
stance against the illegal Mexican invasion, coupled with his defense of the
illegals.    Editor Greenberg spits on
the Constitution, our culture and heritage, referring to illegals as immigrants.

 Greenberg is a proponent
of the selective use of the Constitution, e.g. referencing new Oklahoma
immigration laws implying only the Feds can handle inter-state commerce or
immigration regulation.  Greenberg, read
the U.S. immigration laws found on arkansasfreedom.net
which demands:  ALL policing agencies
have authority to arrest those transporting, hiring, aiding, abetting, housing
illegals.  Those doing so are felons.

Andres Chao of the Mexican Consulate is concerned with the “rights”
of Mexicans.  If Mexicans are legal or
citizens, they speak English and should appeal  complaints to U.S. officials.  If they don’t speak English, they are illegal
and must be dealt with, i.e. deported and those hiring, arrested.   Half the Mexicans in Arkansas are alleged to
be illegal, they have no rights; therefore it is our duty to engage in racial
profiling, a long time tool before Political Correctness.

On to Fort Smith, Greenberg writes that the city prints
water bills in Spanish, Vietnamese, etc. and says it is only sensible. Why?  The currency is U.S. English.   Fort Smith unwisely tabled the English-Only proposed
ordinance—translation, the gang of four Directors believe the only new
businesses the city can attract are those hiring illegals. Why would we want
those?

Beebe continues the corruption legacy?, Huckabee illegal Consulate, Huckabee shameful record

Huckabee, Beebe, McDaniel, illegal Mexican, et al protection racket

230 Comments

Citizens:
Question.                                                               September
8, 2007

Why do the individuals we
elect and appoint to protect the Constitution, our sovereignty, the rule of
law, and our various treasures turn to criminality and sell us out?  All governments are either criminal or
complicit in the destruction of middleclass America.

 

An example, an Arkansas
microcosm.

 

Former Arkansas Governor
and now presidential candidate, Michael Huckabee and his Mexican shill Robert
Trevino flew to Mexico City, courtesy of the taxpayers, October 2003, and
engaged in an arrangement with then Mexican President Vicente Fox to create a
Mexican Consulate in Little Rock, Arkansas—a criminal violation as stated in
the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 10, which defers the making of
treaties, compacts, agreements with foreign entities to the U.S. Congress.  Huckabee made this arrangement without the
knowledge of the Ark. State Legislature or the citizenry.  Huckabee’s creation of the illegal Mexican
Consulate has exponentially increased the illegal Mexican magnet 100 fold.

 

Numerous F.O.I. requests
have provided very little specific information dealing with the financing and
detailed functions of the Little Rock Consulate.  We do know that since its inception some 3
months ago, the Consulate has issued over 4,000 Matricula Consular cards which
serve as I.D. for illegal Mexican nationals.   The Consulate in actuality serves as a clearinghouse
for the dispersal of illegals into the workforce.

 

August, 2006, then
Attorney General Mike Beebe was made aware of Huckabee’s constitutionally criminal
act and stated (get this) that he, Beebe only represented Government
entities.  Apparently Beebe in one of his
unintelligible pronouncements conveyed the idea Huckabee was not a part of
Arkansas state government.  Remember,
Gov. Beebe is the Unctuous One.  I
personally contacted him on 2 other occasions and he offered up similar foolish
answers. (To see more of his unstatesman-like utterances, log on to arkansasfreedom.net)

 

Mike Beebe is now Governor
of our state and has shown himself to be a puppet of Wal-Mart, Tyson’s,
Chambers of Commerce, Mexico, big government, and religion.

 

Oklahoma has passed fairly
stringent illegal immigration legislation, along with Tennessee. Missouri
Governor Mike Blunt is also proposing stringent legislation against the
illegals. Arkansas is the recipient of another massive invasion from the 3
states mentioned, also California for benefits not provided for our own
citizenry, due to failure of enforcement of U.S. immigration laws, creating a
sanctuary environment.    Free prenatal
care for illegals, compliments of presidential candidate Huckabee and the
feckless Arkansas Legislature are in the thousands, while producing untold
numbers of anchor babies.  The Ark. Dept.
of Human Services is over 1 ½ years behind in their tallying of illegal Mexican
and OTM women utilizing the free prenatal and ancillary services, and the
numbers of their offspring.  The cost
since implementation in July, 2005 is in the millions and the numbers are in
the tens of thousands, plus the anchor babies. The invaders from the 4 states
mentioned are giving motels and other similar places as their official places
of residence.  I faxed Gov. Beebe and
suggested he call Missouri Gov. Blunt for possible collaboration in fashioning
new legislation dealing with illegals or enforcing current U.S. immigration
laws.  No response.

 

It should be said here that
with the criminal destruction unleashed on the middleclass by Huckabee, and
being continued by Beebe,  Huckabee now
bloviates in the presidential debates that we must seal our border contiguous
with Mexico and continue the criminal assaults on Iraq and Afghanistan to “salvage
our honor”….Huckabee speaks of honor?  He
also championed scholarships & in-state tuition for illegals, fortunately
those were defeated.

 

Rogers, Arkansas Mayor
Steve Womack and the uninvited Mexican conquistador Andres Chao, residing in
the Mexican Consulate subsidized by Arkansas taxpayers, compliments of Huckabee
and the Little Rock city government, but not limited to, met September 7, 2007
in Rogers regarding Mayor Womack’s policy of training city police to enforce
Federal Immigration laws.  Mayor Womack
is a patriot of stature, courage, and substance.  Chao keeps blathering about Mexican rights
and racial profiling.  It is indeed
troubling that the mayor would be subjected to such outrageous demands from a
foreign entity.

 

Advadago Chao said “the Mexican
community worries about the situation”. 
He said, including fear that they’ll be targeted.  To Senor Chao, why shouldn’t they be
targeted?  Most are illegal and those
that are not will have no problems. Chao further states “I understand the role
of the Mayor is to defend and protect PEOPLE who live in Rogers”   No Andres, he is charged to protect and
defend American citizens who live in Rogers.  
Further he says, (this sounds like it came from Gov. Beebe’s playbook) “I
understand that my role is to protect and defend Mexican nationals living in
Rogers”.   Defend from what Chao?  If Mexican nationals are naturalized American
citizens they submit their complaints to appropriate American officials.  Illegal Mexican nationals deserve no protection
and you have no judicial authority in this state or any other state.

 

Not a word pertaining to
the illegals or those hiring them from Gov. Beebe,  Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, Federal
Prosecutor Robert Balfe III, county sheriffs, city police chiefs—they all owe
their soul to the “company store”, i.e. they are bought and paid for. Then
there is the matter of the vicious Mexican, Salvadoran, & Oriental gangs…and
still no action. Kudos to state Representatives Rick Green , Jon Woods and Senator
Ruth Whitaker for their 2nd scheduled hearing at the state capitol
Sept. 18, 2007, delving into the cost and criminal activities foisted upon the
citizenry by the illegal Mexican and OTM invasion, exploited by criminal
Americans ‘ who hire, aid, abet, transport, & house them.

 

It has come to our attention
that Gov. Beebe has installed an 800# line into his office for Spanish speaking
people.  Naturalized citizens are required
to speak English; therefore the governor is involved in illegal activity and
the question begs to be asked, what part is he and his office playing in the
betrayal of Arkansas citizens?

 

In a news story published
today in the Fort Smith Times Record regarding chicken waste polluting the
streams of Arkansas & Oklahoma, John Brummett, a columnist & reporter
for Stephens Media, stated “you can’t hold statewide political office in
Arkansas without defending the poultry industry”.  This says it all.

 

As the guillotine drops,
know ye have been warned.   Elected
officialdom and appointees at all levels, with few exceptions, are corrupt to
the core and pathetic cowardly specimens.  This conduct is not peculiar to Arkansas; it
reigns supreme throughout our once vaunted Republic.

Huckabee’s
pro illegal alien agenda unbelievable!

Below are excerpts from  three articles that indicate how
strongly  Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee has promoted the illegal
alien agenda. In one of the earlier Presidential debates, Huckabee’s rhetoric
would have convinced voters that he was actually tough on illegal aliens, but
his actions have proved otherwise.  We have found this information to
be  shocking to the majority of Republicans who have not closely followed
Huckabee’s actions,  especially  when they discover how Huckabee
worked directly with the Mexican President to establish a Mexican consulate in
Little Rock which is basically used as a conduit for illegals.  In the
short time the Consulate has been in business, they have issued 4,000 ID cards
to Mexicans.  It doesn’t take much  deductive reasoning to realize
that most of those would have to be illegal.  See this link for that
article. http://www.nwaonline.net/articles/2007/08/28/news/082907arhispbank.txt

Federal law 8 USC Section 1324 says
that “Any person who encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or  reside in the United States,”  shall be
“fined” or “imprisoned not more than 5 years or
both.”  Then how could it be legal or ethical for a Governor
to help establish a Mexican Consulate to help Mexican illegal aliens
reside  in this country when even a citizen of the US can be imprisoned
for such action?  http://law.onecle.com/uscode/8/1324.html

This should remind all of us to look behind the words and find the actions
of all who run for office. We understand that only 40% of Republicans even know
that Rudy Giuliani is pro abortion.  We need to stay informed!

Huckabee:
‘Race-baiting ’ behind immigration bill

BY DAVID HAMMER THE ASSOCIATED PRES
This story was published Friday, January 28, 2005

Excerpts

“Gov. Mike Huckabee said Thursday that a bill to deny state government
benefits and voting rights to illegal immigrants is “inflammatory…
race-baiting and demagoguery.” He challenged the Christian values of its
main sponsor.
   
 “Holt often talks of his strong Christian beliefs, but Huckabee
singled him out, ! saying, “I drink a different kind of Jesus juice. My
faith says don’t make false accusations against somebody. In the Bible, it’s
called ‘Don’t bear false witness.’”

 “The governor said Holt’s plan to deny prenatal care to illegal
immigrants goes against their shared anti-abortion principles — that unborn
fetuses should have a citizen’s right to life.

  ” Illegal immigrants “can’t vote, can’t collect Social
Security benefits,” Huckabee said. “They don’t get a tax refund, but
they pay sales tax, gasoline tax, and property tax when they pay their rent. We
don’t let them vote. They don’t get welfare benefits. And they don’t get
unemploym! ent benefits.”

  “Huckabee has proposed that the state allow undocumented
immigrants who complete their public education in Arkansas to eligible for
college scholarships.”

Excerpts
LITTLE ROCK – In a impassioned speech before hundreds of influential
Hispanic civil rights leaders from across the nation, Gov. Mike Huckabee told a
captive audience Wednesday that America is great because it has always opened
it doors up to people seeking a better way of life.

“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,” Huckabee said,
citing the Golden Rule. “I have tried to govern that way and it stands to
reason that I really do believe that what made this great country so great and
so unique is that it has always been a place for people to run to – and not run
from.

 Huckabee said as the largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing
ovation.

Huckabee was the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO
John Tyson, at a noon luncheon of the League of United Latin American Citizens,
which is holding its 76th annual convention in Little Rock.

He told the LULAC delegates that their presence in the state’s capital city was
very important because Arkansas has one of the fastest growing Hispanic
populations in the nation.

Senate Bill 206, which died in the Senate, would have required proof of
citizenship to register to vote and also force state agencies to report
suspected cases of people living in the country illegally. Holt, R-Springdale,
replied later to Huckabee’s comments that Christian charity does not include
turning a blind eye to lawbreaking.

The Republican governor, who many believe will run for president in 2008, also
backed legislation that would have opened the door for illegal immigrants in
Arkansas to receive college scholarships.

House Bill 1525 by Rep. Joyce Elliott, D-Little Rock, was approved by the House
but eventually failed in the Senate. Huckabee reiterated Wednesday that he
believes every child, regardless of their parent’s immigration status, should
have an opportunity to receive an education in the U.S.

Tyson also credited LULAC leaders for pushing the company to add Hispanics to
the Tyson board and promote more Latinos to upper management and executive
positions.

He also said in that last 15 years, the number of Hispanics that work for the
Arkansas company has increased significantly.

“I am proud to tell you that more than 40,000 of our workers are
Latinos,” Tyson said of the company’s 114,000 employees. “We are
learning, growing and benefiting from that diversity.”  For entire

Governor 19-for-21 in bills he pushed

BY SETH BLOMELEY ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE – April 15, 05
Excerpts
ILLEGAL ALIENS
   
“Huckabee also supported a bill to make illegal aliens eligible for
state-financed college scholarships and in-state tuition. Opponents said it
would reward people for breaking the law, that it would violate a federal law
and that it could require the state to eliminate the higher out-of-state
tuition rates.
“The bill passed the House. While pending in the Senate, critics raised
questions about whether such a law would be legal. Huckabee insisted it would
be. Attorney General Mike Beebe issued an opinion questioning its legality. The
Senate rejected the bill twice.
“Wednesday, Huckabee again defended the proposal, saying, “We never
stopped working for that bill. I don’t under! stand the opposition to it. As a
society and as a people, we’re bigger than that. It hurts me we’re still
debating issues that I thought were set aside in the 1960s.”

Illegal immigration, who benefits?

The Mexican government ($26 billion sent back yearly), big business, religion, and government programs/agencies. What about the “Feel Strongly Both Ways” Unctuous Mike Beebe and his back-stage enablers—insurance man and (poof) mental health provost Jay Bradford? Chicken-Shill Morril Harriman? Attorney General and Campaign Chairman for Hillary, Dustin McDaniel? Andres Choa of the Mexican Consulate Clearinghouse for illegals?

Who suffers and pays for this illegal Mexican and O.T.M. invasion?
Middleclass taxpayers, of course.

Governor Beebe stated:

“We need a policy that this is allowed, and this is not allowed and try to enforce it”. Read the laws below, there’s your answer.

Current US Law Speaks

8 USC Sec 1325—Illegal entry

…shall be subject to civil and criminal penalties, can be fined and imprisoned.

Section 1324a Hiring, Harboring, Transporting any illegal alien

…guilty of a felony punishable by 10 yrs jail + $2,000 fine per illegal alien + forfeiture of property.

Section 1324c Law officers have authority to make arrests

…all officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws shall have authority to make arrests for violation of any provision of this section.

Section 1644

…no local ordinance, rule or measure shall stop law enforcement officers from enforcement of the section.

Title 19, USC 1459, Section (f) & (g)—illegal entry(f)

Civil penalty of $5,000 for the first violation, and $10,000 for each subsequent violation(g) Criminal penalty liable for a fine of not more than $5,000, or imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or both.

The people speak

Governor Beebe:

If you are not comfortable enforcing U.S. immigration law, we citizens expect you to convene an emergency legislative session immediately and replicate recent Oklahoma illegal alien laws. No 2 year “study session”, no blaming “the Feds”. Arkansas is in a crisis mode, from not only illegals coming from Mexico, but the massive numbers arriving here daily from California, Oklahoma, and Tennessee due to Arkansas’ government treating the invaders to multiple benefits not available to citizens and no restraints, in violation of our laws.

Governor, cut your strings to the master puppeteers and uphold your sworn Constitutional duties by protecting citizens physically, economically, and our standard of living.

No return to Wilsonian politics, not Woodrow, NICK!

Martial Law

137 Comments

I wrote in this forum recently that the U.S. is a
Communist police state.  I stated on a
Salt Lake City radio show April, 2006 there is a 30% chance Bush would not
relinquish the presidency at the prescribed time.  I enunciated the war on terrorism is a cruel hoax
and Bush would attack Iran before the end of his Presidency.

 

Explanation: the foundations are in place, resulting in a
dictatorship. The Patriot Acts, the Military Commissions act, the Martial Law
Codicil, failure to secure our national borders, the Security, Prosperity
Partnership, accompanied by the Trans-national corridor, three aircraft strike
forces replete with stealth B-2 bombers carrying 30,000 pound bunker buster
bombs resting in the Persian Gulf, executive orders are written, signed and
waiting to be executed.

 

The laws and acts enumerated allow wiretapping( the FBI
has practiced this indiscriminately), search & seizure without warrants,
Green Lanterns in computers, authority for the President to seize the states’
national guards under contrived or perceived circumstances , dissolving Posse
Comitatus and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.  
Policing agencies have been militarized (weaponry) and Blackwater troops
(mercenaries) are embedded in the military and the various policing agencies,
with questionable allegiances to U.S. citizens.  All for a reason.

 

Government has prepared for the coming civil unrest,
precipitated by the millions of legals and illegals penetrating our shores with
no regard for the Constitution, rule of law, heritage, and culture, all by
design.  

 

The burning question; when civil unrest breaks out between
the invading hordes and American citizens and the order comes down from
Bush/Gonzales/Chertoff to stamp out the citizen’s protest, what will be the
response of America’s military and law enforcement?  Will they support citizens or criminally
corrupt politicians and bureaucrats?

 

America’s hegemonic hubris is a terminal disease.

 

Reality is not politically correct.

Huckstering Huckabee

[Patrick Cleburne] @ 5:36 pm [Email author] [Email This Article]  [Print This Article]

Yesterday I expressed skepticism about Mike Huckabee’s credentials as an Immigration reform patriot. As it happens Huckabee addressed the issue on Friday in Iowa. ( Huckabee discusses immigration during Iowa visit By JOSH NELSON WCFCourier.com Saturday, April 28 2007)

To an experienced eye, it is clear Huckabee’s commitment to repairing America’s immigration disaster is thin and cosmetic. (VDARE.com italics)

Huckabee tried to shore up his credibility on the issue, which ranks at the top of Republican voters’ concerns, while speaking to a crowd at an Iowa Christian Alliance fundraiser. He… said there needed to be a “common sense approach” to the issue.

That approach includes a physical fence in areas where it is needed and electronic monitoring in other areas, he said.

(This of course is the minimalist position usually adopted by those against the idea. Why not a full fence?)

While he said he is opposed to any plans for amnesty, he would like to see a path toward citizenship for people in the country.

(In other words, he wants the effect of Amnesty.)

“I just don’t think it’s realistic to say this weekend we’re going to round up 12 to 20 million young people and their children…”

(This is the central tenet of pro immigration defeatist line. Those who know the history on immigration know that voluntary repatriation often reached 40% of any given immigration flow – but that was before the magnetism of America’s social programs took effect.)

Tellingly, Huckabee did not apparently mention the crucial issues of birthright citizenship, or the status of English.

Any inclination to give Huckabee the benefit of the doubt was completely eradicated by three devastating articles helpfully supplied by a reader (thanks, T.S.)

Huckabee promotes ‘open door’ policy at LULAC convention Thursday, June 30, 2005 By Wesley Brown Arkansas News Bureau

In a impassioned speech before hundreds of influential Hispanic civil rights leaders from across the nation, Gov. Mike Huckabee told a captive audience Wednesday that America is great because it has always opened it doors up to people seeking a better way of life…
“Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority,” Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter…He said Arkansas needs to make the transition from a traditional Southern state to one that recognizes and cherishes diversity “in culture, in language and in population.”

Immigration bill un-Christian, anti-life, governor says Friday, Jan 28, 2005 By Doug Thompson
Arkansas News Bureau

Gov. Mike Huckabee Thursday denounced a bill by Sen. Jim Holt that would deny state benefits to illegal immigrants as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life…Huckabee said he took exception to characterization of immigrants in the bill and by its supporters as exploiters of social programs….Something that’s not worth sharing is not worth celebrating,” Huckabee said. “This is the kind of country that opens its doors. This bill expresses an un-American attitude.”

Governor Huckabee risks political fortunes to denounce immigration raid By Melissa Nelson Associated Press August 5 2005

Huckabee, a Baptist minister, said his support for the state’s growing Hispanic population has to do with compassion, not politics…Hugo Juarez, deputy consul general for the Mexican Consulate in Dallas, called Huckabee a good friend of Mexicans and the Mexican government.

The governor’s pro-immigrant stance was also praised by LULAC president Hector Flores, who called Huckabee’s efforts for the children a testament to progress in racial attitudes.

“I marvel at the changes in a Southern state like Arkansas where the governor actually called out the troops to keep the schools from being integrated in 1957. What a turnaround and especially for it to come from a Republican,” he said.

“What a turnaround” is right. But is Huckabee a “good friend” of the American people? Not on this evidence.

Memo From Oklahoma, By Allan Wall

Cashing In On Illegal Immigration In The Sooner State

Currently I’m visiting my home state of Oklahoma. On a trip to Oklahoma City, I picked up a free Hispanic newspaper in a restaurant. The Spanish-language periodical is known as “El Nacional de Oklahoma“. The free paper bills itself as “Oklahoma Owned. Hispanic Owned.” The copy I picked up was dated July 5th, 2007.

Looking over this paper can give one a good idea of what is important to the Oklahoma City Mexican immigrant community and who is profiting from high Mexican immigration into the city.

Naturally, immigration was an important topic in El Nacional’s July 5th, 2007 issue. On the national level, the defeat of the Bush/ Kennedy Amnesty/Immigration Surge bill was bemoaned. On the state level, the passage of Oklahoma’s HB1804 was criticized. In fact, Oklahoma Hispanic leaders are considering a boycott against state businesses which supported the recently-enacted legislation or who don’t support the amnesty agenda.

The front page, above-the-fold article was dedicated to an article about the Mexican consul Andres Chao, who recently visited Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Oklahoma does not (yet) have a Mexican consulate/illegal immigration encouragement station. But Chao is consul in the nearby state of Arkansas, in the new Little Rock consulate So, being next door to the Sooner State, he can still do some damage. [El Nacional July 5, 2007–México abre nuevo consulado en EU]

Consul Chao visited Oklahoma, and got together with members of the Mexican colonies of Tulsa and Oklahoma City. In the latter, Chao met with 300 Mexicans in a Mexican restaurant. He was asked to send a mobile consulate (used for dispensing matricula consular cards to illegal aliens) to Oklahoma every three months.

Chao said he couldn’t arrange to send the mobile consulate every three months but would try to visit a few times in 2008. However, the consul did point out that the new Mexican consulate in Little Rock is there because the Arkansas state government (Mike Huckabee, governor) actually requested its establishment. So Chao suggested that the governor of Oklahoma could make the same request.

Attorney Giovanni Perry, chair  of Governor Henry’s “Advisory Council on Latin American and Hispanic Affairs” said that would be the goal of her organization.

One of the Mexicans present at the meeting used the occasion to bellyache about Oklahoma’s new 1804 law, scheduled to take effect November 1st:: “Everything I do I do for my family, but I feel fear because of the new law”.

Boo hoo. If he were legal, why would he feel fear?

Consul Chao also bemoaned the failure of the recent Senate Sellout: “Disgracefully, the reform [Senate Sell-out] died and it’s sad for the Mexican government that the compromise was not accomplished. For us it is a double worry because we know that they [emigrants] left Mexico for the lack of opportunities and therefore we want to create jobs there [in Mexico].“

Mexican politicians say that sort of thing a lot, so how about some action?

You can also learn a lot from the ads in El Nacional. It’s a free paper, so it depends 100% on advertising. The business community would not be spending money on ads if they didn’t expect a return on their investment.

In fact, the ads in the newspaper advertise for a great variety of products and services, suggesting that the Oklahoma City Mexican community has a fair amount of disposable income.

Unsurprisingly, law firms are disproportionately represented.

The ad for the Bumgarner & Goodwin firm tells readers that “Legal o illegal, usted merece tener un buen abogado” (Legal or illegal, you deserve to have a good lawyer). Bumgarner & Goodwin advertises its criminal law expertise, defending clients from DUI charges, drug charges, domestic abuse, theft and assault charges.

Winningham and Stein calls itself Oklahoma’s oldest and most experienced law firm. Just so you know what they’re up to, the firm’s website is called legalizacioneeuu.com.

Other firms raking in the dough from Oklahoma’s demographic transition are Tuan A. Khuu which deals with both immigration law and accidents,

Bryan & Robinson and  Scott & Standefer who can defend folks from DUI and criminal charges as well as take on auto accident, personal injury and workers compensation cases.

Then there are Olivarez & Looper   Brian E. Powley ,and Michael S. Johnson Isaac S. Funderburk IV is a criminal lawyer who “fights for you” i.e, fights for the criminal. Other ads are placed by immigration law specialists Stump & Associates and the aforementioned Mexican government-connected Giovanni Perry [VDARE.COM note: Perry doesn’t seem to have a website, but a fawning Oklahoma Journal Record profile (September 15 2006) indicates her favorite vacation spot is Bora Bora, Tahiti.]

So what’s wrong with that, isn’t this what lawyers do?

Well, yes. But in any sort of real debate over immigration, the fact that many lawyers profit heavily from it ought to be pointed out again and again—along with the fact that many ordinary Americans are hurt by immigration.

El Nacional de Oklahoma also has automobile ads galore, as well as one placed by “Byron’s Liquor Warehouse”. That combination ensures there will still be a need for ambulance-chasing Okie lawyers to make some more money off auto accident and personal injury cases.

No wonder the usual suspects are incensed over the new Oklahoma law.

It could potentially cut into their profits.
