Open letter to the Arkansas
Beverage Control Board

Are the Constitution,
federal and state laws being corrupted by politicians, bureaucrats and other
appointed and/or hired “officials” through stupidity, ignorance, criminal
activity or buy-outs?

Witness the story appearing
in the Fort Smith Times Record 1/21/10 titled “Alcohol permits awarded.”  The principal in this piece was one Maria L.
Diaz De Leon who was awarded an Arkansas state liquor license by the Arkansas
Beverage Control Board (ABC).

Examine the facts as the
Times Record presents them: Fort Smith detective Cody Elliott uncovered a
dearth of evidence suggesting that Maria De Leon was not legally worthy to
receive a liquor license.  The ABC had
the negative information in hand regarding De Leon.  ABC Director Langley voted to deny De Leon a
liquor permit, but he was overridden by Board member Ron Fuller’s comments and
vote and the rest of the board was swayed by his politically correct rhetoric.  Fuller’s comments: “the language barrier may
have caused some confusion during the interview,” and “I think we should give
people new to our country perhaps an opportunity to show they can be very
successful and to show that they are genuine part of American society.”

The Fort Smith Detective’s
investigation revealed the following:  De
Leon had been cited for traffic violations and was reportedly once arrested in
Texas on suspicion of smuggling and harboring illegal immigrants (a felony
under federal law 8 USC, but law enforcement rarely ever pursues charges against
illegals).  Furthermore she lied through
a translator saying she’d never been cited or arrested.

It certainly appears obvious
to me this woman is an illegal alien, unable to speak English (a requirement
for naturalized citizens), a suspected illegal smuggler, an unsafe driver, and
a liar.  To top it off she has the
audacity to name her club “El Coyote.” 
Coyote is the common name used to describe Mexican human
traffickers. 

In my opinion, a majority
of the ABC Board, and in particular Ron Fuller, can only be described as
criminally contemptible and grossly incompetent. Fuller’s statement saying that
De Leon is a “genuine part of American society” is blasphemous to the rule of
law and legitimate citizenship.

As a citizen of the U.S.
and Arkansas, I demand this license be cancelled immediately and if not so,
action be taken against the ABC to prevent it from issuing licenses to persons
who are not lawfully present in Arkansas. 
What’s more the woman should be arrested, punished and deported if, in
fact, she is not here legally.

This woman appears to be potentially
guilty of at least two criminal acts—invading our country illegally and
trafficking in human beings, while lying about receiving numerous traffic
citations, which poses the question … did she have any insurance?  Meanwhile the Sebastian County Sheriff, ICE, and
the FBI refuse to enforce 8 USC Sections 1324(a), 1324(c), & 1644.

The Club El Coyote will no
doubt be a conduit for more illegals. 
It’s a shame that the American citizen who applied for a license at the
Season’s Inn was rejected for minor citations 20 years ago—American justice?
