    Inquiry to Ark State Police Director re enforcing existing laws

    Col. Winford Phillips

    Director ASP

    Little Rock, Arkansas

     

    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,

     

    Joe McCutchen

    Fort Smith

     

    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?

     Subject: FYI***Federal
    Immigration and Nationality Act Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)

     

     

    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.

     

     

     

    FOI Request To Arkansas Dept. of Health and Human Services On Total Wal-Mart Employees Recieving Public Welfare Services



    Wal-Mart and Welfare


    Today ARKANSASFREEDOM.COM FOIed theArk. Dept. of Human Services and the Dept. of Health for detailed information regarding numbers and kinds of welfare dispensed to Wal-Mart employees.

    As I recall, former Rep. Dustin McDaniel, now Attorney General and co-chair for Hillary Rodham Clinton, authored and passed a Bill blocking the information that we are now FOI-ing.

    The two state agencies have 3 working days to respond. The results, if any, should prove interesting. It is now becoming crystal clear that Politicians and bureaucrats have insulated themselves from the prying eyes of the citizens who are paying the tariff.

    We will post the results as soon as they become available. The body of the FOI is on ARKANSASFREEDOM.COM.

    Joe


    Correction: It was not Dustin McDaniel who helped block information as to the numbers of Wal-Mart employees on welfare, but Joe Quinn who was Huckabee’s media man and who subsequently went to work for Wal-Mart as their “Health” director…what a coincidence!!

    Our apologies to McDaniel.

    Pursuant to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101), (Arkansas FOIA) I hereby request copies of the public records identified below. I am requesting any and all documents, which shall be construed to include any written or electronic document, including but not limited to faxes, emails, telexes, telegraphs, statistics, graphs, memoranda, compilations, or other communications or writings of any form falling within the purview of the Arkansas FOIA that discuss or touch upon the following subjects:

    Huckabee/Beebe welfare state

    The United States has morphed from a Constitutional Republic to a Communistic Police State, forced redistribution, the mechanism.

    Legislators arrogantly refuse to ask taxpayers/citizens if they approve of various governmental programs.

    There is no Constitutional basis for enacting programs, taking from producers and redistributing to non-producers. Theft of private property is a crime.

    Arkids 1st, a welfare program formulated by Gov. Huckabee, advertised as subsidizing healthcare for gainfully employed Arkansas’ Citizens. In fact, is a thinly veiled program conceived to give healthcare to illegal Mexicans. The theft occurred concomitantly with another Huckabee criminal act, (Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution) installing a Mexican Consulate in Little Rock, a clearinghouse for illegals. Enter Gov. Beebe: Calling for reauthorization of the SCHIP (prenatal care for illegals), Arkids 1st, and the ARHealthnet programs.

    Beebe states “failure to reauthorize would impact our state’s ability to provide for those who are most in need”. Not a proper function of government. For SCHIP alone Beebe says we need $116 million per year.

    Beebe states ARHealthnet (adult medical insurance) is a true partnership between Federal and State government, businesses and families. Partnership?: Federal tax dollars stolen from the small business man, state taxes from the small businessman, employees insurance paid by small businessman—only a politician could concoct such deviousness. Citizens are inoculated with Communist ideology and don’t comprehend the criminal acts perpetrated by politicians against them.

    Beebe stated June 23rd, re: Immigration: “it was his responsibility to restore the faith of people in government”, forget Faith, how about the facts.

    He further stated “Legal means legal, illegal means illegal”. Further, “we need a policy that this is allowed, this is not allowed, and then try to enforce it”: Weak, and a lie.

    See 8 USC Sections 1324, 1325, 1644, Beebe knows and does nothing.

    nation of immigrants would be. Absent a founding group, it would be no
    nation at all, but a random gathering of people united only by their
    presence in the same land.
        The United States is a nation with
    a distinct founding culture, one that remained dominant while
    assimilating—and subtly changed by later arrivals. Revolutionary
    Americans were fairly homogeneous: 60 percent English, almost 20
    percent Scottish and Irish (the rest were Dutch and German), and
    overwhelmingly Protestant.
        Immigrants are people who leave one
    society and move to another. There has to be a recipient society to
    which they move. In our case, the society was created by settlers who
    came here in the 17th and 18th centuries. They weren’t immigrating to
    some existing society. It was the settlers’ Anglo-Protestant society
    and culture that attracted subsequent immigrants. We then, therefore,
    are a nation with immigrants.

        American’s
    integrity and sovereignty are strained by multiculturalism, affirmative
    action and mass immigration. The pet phrase of American politicians is
    “Strength in our diversity.” The much-repeated dictum “nation of
    immigrants” is unquestioned by Americans and foreigners alike. Mass
    immigration, both legal and illegal, has transformed our republic into
    a Third World dumping ground, the majority not acculturating, coming
    from countries exhibiting no concepts of individual rights and rule of
    law.

    Fax to Arkansas Officials re immigration laws unenforced

    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.

     

    Enjoy your rule.

    Fox in the hen house influencing the chicks

    Honesty in academia?—hardly. 
    Harding University in conjunction with their American Studies Institute
    has invited former Mexican president Vicente Fox, one of America’s worst
    enemies, to speak primarily to the student body, also in attendance will be
    corporate heads and college officialdom on April 26th.

    This constitutional travesty was put together by the Harding
    president and board of trustees to brainwash susceptible students and reinforce
    the Fascist foundation of Corporatism. ..the nexus between government and
    corporations producing a symbiotic relationship.  The topic to be addressed by Fox is allegedly
    the expansion of Latin American commerce, a thinly veiled disguise for the North
    American Union, which will dissolve our national borders, create a new currency,
    and judicial system. Treason!

    The genesis of The North American Union, aka Security &
    Prosperity Partnership, was created by Presidents Bush, Fox, and Canadian Prime
    Minister Martin, March, 2005.

    A press release issued by Harding University makes not only
    absurd statements, but outright lies.  “During
    his tenure, Fox controlled inflation and interest rates, and achieved the
    lowest unemployment rate in all of Latin America.”  When Fox gave directions, camping gear, and
    transportation by the Mexican army and Beta Grupo to millions of his impoverished
    citizens to illegally invade the U.S. and they in turn send $20-30 billion yearly
    back to Mexico…yes, he did lower unemployment. 
    “He gave priority to migratory policies, human rights, as well as
    fighting drug trafficking.”  75% of all
    illicit drugs come from Mexico and increasing. 
    Oh yes, he has been awarded “Hero of Democracy” by the National
    Endowment for Democracy.

    Fox is also demanding amnesty, politicians called it “earned
    legalization” for 20-30 million illegal Mexicans and open borders. Why? Cheap
    slave labor, votes, and expanded government programs.

    Citizens, students, beware of the treasonous Bush/Fox/Martin
    triumvirate, all office holders, and illegal employers.

    Free immigration or Invasion

     

     

    FREE
    IMMIGRATION OR INVASION

    BY Michael
    Gaddy

    In the month of
    April 2005, I traveled to the Arizona border and worked as a volunteer with the
    Minuteman Project. Upon returning I wrote an article that appeared
    at LRC. For several days that
    followed I received many emails, including fellow writers at LRC who took issue
    with my stance on protecting our borders. I understand the issue this raises
    with those who believe in the open border policy advocated by many
    Libertarians. My question is: can we live with the theory of open borders when
    obviously what we are experiencing is not people immigrating for a better way
    of life, but an invasion?

    The one
    question that I never received an answer to from all those who wrote me in
    opposition to my position was: with the current open border policy and the
    welfare state how do we protect the private property of not only those who live
    on the U.S. side of the border, but others whose private property is being
    destroyed by the criminal element that constantly flows across our porous
    borders?

    While one of my
    most respected writers at LRC, Anthony Gregory,
    touches briefly on the objections to free immigration in a welfare society by Hans-Hermann Hoppe in
    his work
    , I believe there was absent a delving into the meat of Hoppe’s
    argument in which he addresses what he believes to be an invasion as opposed to
    free immigration.

    In Hoppe’s work
    On Free Trade and
    Restricted Immigration,
    he states:

    “In
    light of steadily mounting immigration pressure from the world’s low-wage
    regions, three general strategies of dealing with immigration have been
    proposed: unconditional free immigration, conditional free immigration, and
    restrictive immigration. While our main concern will be with the latter two
    alternatives, a few observations regarding the unconditional free immigration
    position are appropriate, if only to illustrate the extent of its intellectual
    bankruptcy.”

    As for
    unconditional free immigration, Hoppe’s words are certainly relevant if one is
    a close up observer of our basically unprotected borders today, and the
    millions here illegally who demand their share of welfare
    “entitlements,” and politicians who seek votes by insisting these
    immigrants receive the fruits of the labor of others.

    “Since unconditional free immigration must be regarded as a
    prescription for national suicide, the typical position among free traders is
    the alternative of conditional free immigration. According to this view, the
    U.S. and Switzerland would have to first return to unrestricted free trade and
    abolish all tax-funded welfare programs, and only then should they open their
    borders to everyone who wanted to come. In the meantime, while the welfare
    state is still in place, immigration would have to be made subject to the
    condition that immigrants are excluded from domestic welfare
    entitlements.”

    Here Hoppe
    draws a distinction between free trade and free immigration.

    “There
    is no analogy between free trade and free immigration, and restricted trade and
    restricted immigration. The phenomena of trade and immigration are different in
    a fundamental respect, and the meaning of “free” and
    “restricted” in conjunction with both terms is categorically
    different. People can move and migrate; goods and services, of themselves,
    cannot. Put differently, while someone can migrate from one place to another
    without anyone else wanting him to do so, goods and services cannot be shipped
    from place to place unless both sender and receiver agree. Trivial as this
    distinction may appear, it has momentous consequences. For free in conjunction
    with trade then means trade by invitation of private households and firms only;
    and restricted trade does not mean protection of households and firms from
    uninvited goods or services, but invasion and abrogation of the right of
    private households and firms to extend or deny invitations to their own
    property. In contrast, free in conjunction with immigration does not mean
    immigration by invitation of individual households and firms, but unwanted
    invasion or forced integration…”

    Hoppe
    elaborates on the view that illegal immigrants are nothing more than foreign
    invaders, forcing themselves on those who have no choice but to receive them.

    “…with
    respect to the movement of people, the same government will have to do more in
    order to fulfill its protective function than merely permit events to take
    their own course, because people, unlike products, possess a will and can
    migrate. Accordingly, population movements, unlike product shipments, are not
    per se mutually beneficial events because they are not always —necessarily and
    invariably—the result of an agreement between a specific receiver and sender.
    There can be shipments (immigrants) without willing domestic recipients. In
    this case, immigrants are foreign invaders, and immigration represents an act
    of invasion. Surely, a government’s basic protective function includes the
    prevention of foreign invasions and the expulsion of foreign invaders. Just as surely
    then, in order to do so and subject immigrants to the same requirement as
    imports (of having been invited by domestic residents), this government cannot
    rightfully allow the kind of free immigration advocated by most free
    traders.”

    In my view,
    Hoppe could not be more correct in his belief that the government should
    protect its citizens from the foreign invasion of those who enter our country
    illegally. In fact our Constitution demands it.

    “The
    United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of
    Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion…” ~ Article 4
    Sec. 4 of the U.S. Constitution

    I understand
    how one can idealistically look at free immigration and believe that to place
    restrictions on the free flow of people is inconsistant with liberty. Those who
    support this view should travel to the border and see first hand the
    destruction being wrought on the private property of our citizens; slaughtered
    livestock, water lines dug up from the ground and left running in an
    environment where water is as valuable as gold, fences destroyed, homes invaded
    and burned, citizens literally afraid to walk to the mailbox unarmed, private
    property owners who have actually deserted their property to avoid the constant
    harrassment, threats and violence and the refusal/inability of our government
    to protect them from this destruction.

    In fact, many
    of our politicians, including Congressman Raul Grijalva of Arizona, have sought
    federal intervention against those private property owners who seek to protect
    their property from these invaders. His words on the subject speak volumes.

    “An
    atmosphere exists in southern Arizona that threatens to ignite in a flashpoint
    of violence. The words and actions of these groups (read private property
    owners) are evidence of an armed racial movement intent on taking the law into
    their own hands. We cannot allow the complex issues in U.S.-Mexico border
    policy to be hijacked by individuals who have chosen to break faith with our
    government and take matters into their own hands.”

    In my view,
    this issue is one of national security more than any other. Our run away
    government’s reckless foreign policy has created a plethora of enemies who seek
    our destruction, not just of our government but of the citizens as well.
    Allowing those who wish to destroy us unfettered access to our property and our
    lives is ridiculous in the extreme.
    Our insane policy concerning those who are invading our country and seek to do
    us harm is most obvious in the following: when natives of Mexico are
    apprehended after crossing illegally into this country, they are fingerprinted,
    given food and water, medical attention if needed and then transported back to
    Mexico, but an illegal from any other country, including those with whom we are
    at war, even though these wars are illegal and immoral, are taken to a city
    such as Tucson, processed, given a trial date to appear in court and then
    released! Should it come as a big surprise that less than 5% ever return to
    honor their court date?

    To doubt the
    millions crossing our border and the millions already here constitute an
    invasion is baffling. Immigrants migrate for a better way of life while
    invaders come to dominate and control. One need only listen to the words and
    writings of the invaders and their supporters, many of who are teaching in our
    institutions of higher learning here in the United States.

    “California
    is going to be a Hispanic state and anyone who doesn’t like it should leave.
    They should go back to Europe.”
    ~Mario Obledo

    “The
    border remains a military zone. We remain a hunted people. Now you think you
    have a destiny to fulfill in the land that historically has been ours for forty
    thousand years. And we’re a new Mestizo nation. And they want us to discuss
    civil rights. Civil rights. What law made by white men to oppress all of us of
    color, female and male. This is our homeland. We cannot—we will not—and we must
    not be made illegal in our own homeland. We are not immigrants that came from
    another country to another country. We are migrants, free to travel the length
    and breadth of the Americas because we belong here. We are millions. We just
    have to survive. We have an aging white America. They are not making babies.
    They are dying. It’s a matter of time. The explosion is in our
    population.”
    ~Jose
    Angel Gutierrez, Professor and Attorney, University of Texas Arlington.

    “The
    ultimate ideology is the liberation of Aztlan. Communism would be closest [to
    it]. Once Aztlan is established, ethnic cleansing would commence: Non-Chicanos
    would have to be expelled — opposition groups would be quashed because you
    have to keep power.”
    ~Miguel Perez of Cal State-Northridge’s MEChA (Movimiento
    Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) chapter.

    “As an
    academic mission I’m proposing it (El Norte) as a thesis. But I’m also an
    advocate of the idea, I myself-through the way I teach my classes and to the
    students I help form in the classroom-that’s my activism. The main incentive
    would be so people of the same culture, language, and identity could develop
    their own nation-state under the principal of self- determination.”
    ~ Chicano Studies
    Professor Charles Truxillo at the University of New Mexico who advocates that
    California, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona secede from the United
    States to form the Chicano republic of El Norte.

    Professor
    Truxillo, is a self-described disciple of Chicano-Marxist terrorist Reies Lopez
    Tijerina. Tijerina and his terrorist group have been advocating retaking the
    southwest since the mid ’60s. In June 1967, Tijerina led his gang in an assault
    on the courthouse in Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico. During the attack, he proved
    that his violence was non-discriminatory. They shot fellow Mexican-American
    jailer Eugolio Salazar in the face, pistol whipped fellow Mexican-American
    Undersheriff Dan Rivera, and killed fellow Mexican-American Deputy Sheriff
    Nicainor Saizan.

    Professor
    Truxillo claims that the new nation of El Norte should be established “by
    any means necessary.

    “These
    are the critical years for us as a Latino community. We’re in a state of
    transition. And that transformation is called ‘the browning of America’.
    Latinos are now becoming the majority. Because I know that time and history is
    on the side of the Chicano/Latino community. It is changing in the future and
    in the present the balance of power of this nation. It’s a game – it’s a game
    of power – who controls it. You (to MEChA students) are like the generals that
    command armies. We’re in a state of war…What this means is a transfer of power.
    It means control.”
    ~ Armando Navarro, Prof. Ethnic Studies, UC Riverside.

    Are the above
    the words of those who seek only economic opportunity?

    While I am in
    complete agreement with Anthony Gregory and others that the State will only use
    this issue to pass more oppressive legislation against its citizens, I hardly
    see how allowing the free flow of immigrants who are determined to colonize the
    Southwestern United States will stop this oppression. If the ignorant among us
    show an unwillingness to buckle to the desires of the State, there will always
    be another “New
    Pearl Harbor.”

    I was asked on
    two separate occasions this past week to be a guest on talk radio out of Mexico
    City. During my appearance, I asked the host if he locked the doors of his home
    at night and when he was away. He finally, after repeating the question until
    he answered, said that he did. When I asked him why, he said to keep unwanted
    people out of his home—people who might steal his property or harm his family.
    My question to him and to others is: Why should we not control our borders for
    the same reason?
