MLK’s legacy: Open borders?!
In Birmingham, Alabama, today’s official Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday will be about…open borders (hat tip – reader Stephen):
The keynote speaker for the Martin Luther King Unity Breakfast on Monday is a Kansas native and the daughter of Mexican immigrants.
Organizers said they chose Janet Murguia, the president and chief executive officer of the National Council of La Raza, because of her message of unity and her opposition to a resurgence of hate speech in the immigration debate.
It’s the first time in more than two decades that the keynote speaker for the Birmingham event is not a white person or a black person.
Isabel Rubio, executive director of the Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama, an affiliate of La Raza, said having Murguia on the program signals a recognition of the growing population of Spanish-speaking people in Alabama and a continuation of King’s dream.
Murguia said she intends to speak about common challenges and opportunities for blacks and Hispanics.
“We recognize that the immigration system is broken and it requires a serious debate,” she said, “but there’s no room in that debate for hate, and we’re sensing a wave of hate right now that’s not only directed at immigrants, but the Hispanic community.”
We’ve gone from King’s dream of a color-blind society to lobbying by a group called “The Race” for DREAM Act benefits for illegal aliens, amnesty for illegal aliens, driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, and separatist schools for Hispanics.
This is progress?

Time to dust off that Poli Sci classic, “The Paranoid Style In American Politics.”
They have enough hate also, they hate “LAWS”
enforce our laws, build the fence!
debate over.
It’s not about immigration…It’s about ILLEGAL…What part of ILLEGAL don’t these open borders people get.
This isn’t the first time someone has tried to use the civil rights movement to bolster their positions… Only those who make the comparison are usually trying to cram gay marriage and now amnesty down our throats. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
This is usually where they hurt their cause. US citizens don’t take kindly to being told that we are racist because we want our borders closed and the laws enforced. There are plenty of Hispanics who want our laws enforced as well. if you are against amnesty your racist. Yeah, that’s going to help your cause.
“I, Monte Hall, do solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to bear true faith and allegiance to the same…. So help me God.”
I am obsolete.
Like I said in another post, Rep Sheila Jackson Lee was speaking at the national conference for the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights going on this past weekend in Houston. Lee:
Seems they are banding together to find the DREAM of MLK.
what a joke, they break the law, dont care they’re breaking the law and expect everyone to be all warm and fuzzy towards them? pahleezzzzzz.
Make Mexico better, speak up there! hello!
Yes, what part of illegal did MLK not understand?
There I fixed it for ya.
I’m glad to see Michelle bring up immigration again. This is where they are vulnerable, I think.
It’s also important to consistently point out the contradictions between Latinos and Blacks. Keep them in disarray less they together attempt to carry the mantle of the civil rights movement–that unassailable holy of holies.
First the race hustlers subvert Mr. King’s message of hope into permanent victim status and know a new protected racist group (provided Hispanic is a race) rises up to further the victim mentality. Telling us we are evil people for wanting to protect our national sovereignty. The race hustlers have turned his dream into a freaking nightmare.
Only in America can they do this type of BS and actually find support for their cause. Ok and maybe Canada, but they aren’t clamoring to overload the Canadian economy, healthcare system, etc…
Not until we enforce our laws and build the dang fence will I want to hear anything about what to do with the illegals that are here. Right now, they are still coming in droves. People are dying as a result of this influx of criminals. Something must be done about it. I will not settle for the well we can’t deport them all response. Especially from those who have sworn duty to do just that. Enough already.
know = now
What do they expect?
They come to America and expect us to turn our country – its laws, its culture, its system of benefits (Social Security, college grants/scholarships) – on its ear to benefit them.
Then they accuse us of being racist, bigoted, and hateful for requiring them to follow the law that countless LEGAL immigrants took the time to follow.
Can’t they see how their actions can rightfully be interpreted as insulting? They’re essentially saying, “We don’t give a damn about you, your laws, your country or your culture…gimme, gimme, gimme.”
I’m beyond positive that anyone who opposes illegal immigration would have no problem with immigrants of any stripe coming here legally, according to our laws, to make a better life for themselves.
It’s not racist or bigoted to demand that anyone who wants citizenship show their dedication to their new country by following its laws pertaining to immigration.
Breaking those laws as your first action in your “new country” does not sit well.
At least we have our GOP candidates out there on the stump. To be sure, they’ll be quick to condemn this sort of racial pandering and stand up for the rule of law and the constitution and the will of the people.
Right?
This great country has sent a man to the moon… But people want to say that we can’t put 12 million people on a bus and send them home…Hmmmmmmm..
It is not hate to be offended when someone breaks into your home. It is not hate when those coming into your country not only spurn assimilation, but mock and ridicule your values and systems. It is not hate when the burden on the social infrastructure increases the taxes of American citizens, closes hospitals and fills our jails with criminals. It is not hate when the actions of illegals cause death and lifelong trauma to the citizens of this country. And it is not hate to care enough about one’s country to take a stand against a situation that is slowly breaking it apart.
It is not hate. It is a desire for JUSTICE. It is the exercise of one’s right to protect their homes. It is recognition of the rule of law.
Those concepts may be foreign in countries like Mexico, but they are basic tenants of life in the US. Countries like Mexico that abhor immigration and discriminate against immigrants by their laws and practices. Want to run a business in Mexico? You are required to employ Mexican citizens as managers. Want to own property in Mexico? You can’t do it as a foreigner unless you put the deed in trust with a Mexican trustee. And even if you become a Mexican citizen, you will never be able to hold elected office because you are not a citizen by birth. Sounds more than a little like life under Islamic rule than life under a democracy.
Yes, there is hate associated with the issue of illegal immigration. But the hate is not generated by US citizens – the hate is borne by citizens of countries like Mexico. Groups like “The Race” that believe they are superior to the hodgepodge of other races that have melted together successfully in the US.
Keep your hated and racism South of the Border. And while you’re at it, take your citizens with you.
Meanwhile, another brave border agent lost his life in the line of duty over the weekend. How many more lives must be lost before these jerks get it.
Build the fence Now!
Well-said Jim M.
Remember, Hillary said just a few days ago, “no woman is illegal”…then she followed it up, after a reminder. with “no man is illegal either”. I think she meant, “no potential Democrat voter is illegal”.
No news laws just more enforcement of the ones we already have….thank you very much. Oh, and fire all the legislators. They’re the ones causing all the problems with their hyperbolic rhetoric, subterfuge and simply being on-the-clock in our state and nation’s capitals.
Is John McCain going to be in attendance? Maybe since Huckabee will be in Atlanta he can trot over there and see how La Raza feels about his plan to give in state tuition breaks to the illegals in his state while governor.
Here in Atlanta we have 2 former governors of Arkansas speaking at the MLK festivities. Clinton and Huckabee. Barack was here yesterday.
These people have no shame. Being called a racist used to be a “virtual” death sentence for anyone branded one. It was a name you called someone when you wanted to shut them up. That’s what groups like “la Raza” are still trying to do. We must not allow them to label people who want the laws upheld as racists. If they get away with it, it’s our fault.
Throws BS flag and 15 yard penalty. Hispanic is not a race it is a culture. Everytime someone tries to frame the discussion with this they need to be called on it. Hello, Hispanic=white.
I wonder if Senora Murguia will explain to the enthralled audience that even as she speaks there are jack-booted border guards using their bodies to impede the attempts of honest, hard working, law-abiding, Hummer drivers from reaching the “dream”. When an agent of a racist regime hates so much that he will try to stop vehicles from crossing that silly border at their pleasure, he has only himself to blame when he gets run over.
Translation: We recognize that you want to talk about our positions on amnesty. But, we have no ability to debate, and we have no logic behind our position other than “We want what we want, and we want you to pay for it”.
Therefore, we will use hyperbole, call you a racist, and back you in a position of defending yourself. Then all we have to debate is you being a racist, without any proof herein.
Illegal immigration is not about race. It is about one person deciding they are above the laws imposed on 300 million persons. It is about one person who so hates a country, that they join with other like minded individuals to tear it down from within. It is about greed, and laziness, and the impotence of that individual to do what is right in their home nation, so they would rather take the easy way and continue to feed the corruption they choose to “escape”. It is about the tacit approval and encouragement by these indivduals to the leaders in their home countries to continue the rape, abuse, murder, and theft of their own national heritage.
These men and women allow their governments to steal from them, to rape their sisters, to kill their brothers, and yet they still send home money that will be taken to commit more of these atrocities. Yet, when we Americans step in to aid them, our own Left calls us murderous bastards! How do you help a people build their lives when you have to fight their enemies on their front, and you own self-hating enemies right at home?
How do you keep a country free, when half of the country is working so hard to remove our ability to protect and defend those freedoms both locally and throughout the world?
“Vote Democrat: It’s easier than working”
Billary sure is making the MLK rounds this extended weekend, from NYC yesterday to SC today.
Leave it to the lily-white Clintons to usurp the MLK holiday from the first viable black presidential candidate in the country’s history!
crashemt. Hear, hear.
Being a Kansas resident, I’m very familiar with Janet Murguia. She’s a local racist hatemonger who had her organization’s convention cancel in KC because the mayor had the “audacity” to put a member of the Minutemen on the Parks Board of the city. Of course this “vile racist” on the Board is a 80+ year old grandmother.
Brilliant analysis.
The irony is that the illegals include racist criminal gangs who particularly hate blacks.
Talk about “stuck on stupid”.
Nice post, Jim M
the audacity to equate the illegal immigrants struggle with those that were brought here against their will. these who were forced into labor without pay and were violently treated as animals in many cases.
big difference in running in here breaking laws to take jobs from the black community and being snatched away from your homeland and forced into being the property of a land owner for servitude. no one is forcing them to come here.
the gall and the stupidity of the race baiters letting this happen.
They know it’s not really about hate.
I is only a ploy to appeal to illegals and pretend they care.
The only thing they care about is taking our freedoms, money, and thought process away from each and everyone of us.
Its okay for a mexican woman to speak at a MLK rally, but somehow it is not okay for a Chinese man to build the statue of MLK for the national monument??
Wha?
O_o
I hope the good folks of Flordia will stop McCain from winning this nomination.Latest Rasmussen poll has Romney up 5 points over the amnesty peddler McCain.McCain has so far been able to dodge the illegal immigration issue by being very vague.Numbersusa has Romeny rated excellent on illegal immigration.Is it just me or does FOX NEWS seem to be pulling for Rudy and McCain???
My grandmother lives in Montgomery, and I’ve noticed there is a skyrocketing illegal problem there just in the past couple of years. The people most affected are blacks who are having their wages undercut, so I wonder how they feel about illegals hijacking Martin Luther King’s cause of justice for American citizens.
But blacks have brought this upon themselves in a sense by voting for left-wing Democrats in block. Most blacks are against illegal immigration, yet they still vote for Democrats.
Sure it is. Just not (1) for everyone, and (2) in the right direction.
But it’s progress…
Gabe
Unfortunately a large portion of the black community has consumed several generations of brainwashing that the Democrats are the party that is looking out for them …
They can’t seem to fathom that black leaders such as Condi, Michael Steele, J.C. Watts, and others are anything less than traitors to the black community simply because they are Republican …
The most racist party in this country is the Dems … they have fought to keep the black population in lock step by their two-faced “promise everything – deliver nothing” approach for more than a half-century of manipulation …
Without their “victim class” warfare the Dems would have disappeared from the scene years ago … They have to keep all minority populations in a downward spiral so they will continue to believe their line of BS …
If you don’t believe that think S-CHIP … just for starters
MLK was a good man, in his day, back in the 60s. Unfortunately, today, the so-called “civil rights” movement has gone so radically left, that if he was to give one of his speeches, he would be “booed” off the stage. Everyone wants to use him, but few would ever follow his principles. The Sharptons and Jacksons would refuse him. Now, every minority wants to jump on the MLK bandwagon and use him. They have no idea what he stands for anymore.
Unless the proposal is to force people into a gay marriages, they aren’t trying to cram it down our throats.
Some look back historically at laws preventing blacks and whites from marrying, or Chinese and whites from marrying, and wonder if sometimes the laws need to be revisited.
If the new definition of being for the rule of law is racist, then I am a proud racist.
Separatist is what King fought AGAINST, not for!
Right and those laws were changed on their own merits. However, trying to change immigration laws to benefit those who broke the law isn’t the same as allowing two people from different races marry.
You people are constantly in search of your “precedents.” They are necessary to further your liberal agenda. All you need is one…
And Loving vs. Virginia isn’t it.
Well, if anyone followed the history of the passing of the 14th amendment they would be very surprised to find out it isn’t a real amendment anyway. It was never truly passed by 3/4s of the Congress and never really ratified by 3/4 of the states. The states that did pass it, did so, under duress, and some states recinded their ratification. Nevertheless, Congress and the Supreme Court accepted it, knowing it wasn’t real. It was the times…right after the Civil War.
No, this is “progressive”.
The proper response to illegal activity such as illegal entry is certainly distaste for the perpetrators.
The manipulative, disingenuous language used by supporters of illegal aliens is disgusting.
Hatred should be reserved for the corrupt officials in Washington who are making it happen and selling out our country.
It’s not hate that is being given here….it is the following of existing laws that these people don’t want to follow. That says enough by itself. They will play the race card issue as long as this nation is willing to forego it’s laws. Once we do have control of our laws, and we enforce them ‘daily’ the race issue should go away. Barack made that possible.
So we want our laws enforced and respected and that makes us racists but on the other hand these people show no respect for us or our laws. It is two fundamentally opposite value systems. The policies of Mexico regarding immigration are racist and we are supposed to believe that as Mexican citizens cross the border their values all of a sudden, magically, change? I see this as more proof of the differences between races/cultures but I have heard that there is no difference between us all so I’m confused/not.
That is beyond insulting to me, I do not behave like these ingrates do when I visit other countries, enough with lumping us in with these people. I have seen firsthand who the real racists are so la raza doesn’t fool me. I have taken action, if a Mexican comes to my door looking for work, an almost everyday occurrence, I tell them straight up, no. I don’t appreciate what I am hearing coming out of parts of your community. I will do the work myself or allow it to go undone before I hand over my money and my countries future to the likes of that. I am sick of being called racist because of other peoples failures albeit here or anywhere else and don’t forget to tell your boss exactly what I just said.
My parents taught me to take responsibility for my own actions, many of these people have been taught just the opposite, another on the long list of conflicting values. When America is loaded with citizens who when the going gets tough at home they start fleeing, well, I don’t have to tell you that these people would never have fought for the Revolution, the Civil War or WWII. The 21st century minutemen, it only takes a minute for them to pick up their belongings and beat a hasty retreat. It is sad that because of the actions of some, others will lose an avenue that could have helped to lift them up out of the dirt. The Mexican community, those who really call themselves Americans need to put these people in their place, and that place is back home where the policies better represent their values.
Don’t try to smear me as racist both of my immediate neighbors are Americans of Mexican heritage and they are a lot angrier than I am. I find myself in the uncomfortable position of being a moderator, they are pissed and I’m not sure how long I can hold them back. That’s what I get, not being a racist and all.
RIGHT ON tgusa. Send off that letter to the White House and the Mexican government. As MM puts it so succinctly…..SUCK IT UP!!!!!
If you are in favor of the government telling you who you can marry then you are in favor of a more intrusive government than I am.
Not sure who “you people” are. Not sure why you’d jump to incorrect conclusions about my political views based on one data point.
& all paid for by JonnyTaxPayer.
I’ve got your ‘RACE’ right here:
http://wehategringos.com/
That giant sucking sound is from the illegal aliens taking tax money and our culture away from us. In return we get more pushy freeloaders, anchor babies, criminals, overcrowded schools and hospitals, and espanol everywhere. And they wonder why we are not more welcoming. Maybe they are better off in the shadows.
dedalus, this post is not about who can marry who and MM has my apologies for may participation in leaning the thread that way. My point was that laws aren’t made to be broken. I am not against laws being revisited.
If I misunderstood your post, you have my apologies.

I had always been lead to believe that there was antipathy between the black and Latino communities because they were competing for the same goods, services,jobs and areas. This strikes me as an odd turn of events. Things have changed in this regard?
MLK struggled for those denied the same rights everybody else had purely on the basis of race.
These people want special treatment.
What is wrong with hate? I hate to floss. I hate to eat sauerkraut. Hate is a natural feeling, an intense aversion to something.
I hate the fact that La Raza can even function in this country, espousing an Hispanic take over of the USA. I hate the fact that illegals swarm across the border daily, intending to destroy our society with their selfish personal agenda.
Hate, originating from the lack of enforcement of our immigration laws, will end when justice for the American citizen becomes the high priority it should be. Our laws are being ignored, not just by the illegal aliens, but by our own Federal and State authorities who, I thought took an oath when they were hired, to support the constitution and the laws of the land. They aren’t doing their jobs. I hate it when that happens.
Larry D> #31, exaclty what I was thinking. Living in So. Cal. I see the race war up close. The latino gang members are in a war with the blacks. NOt black gang memebers mind you. Just people with a different skin color. Mayor Villaragossa (I try to spell it with a different word for Villa, but the site won’t allow it. I replace Villa with a certain blue pill that Bob Dole did a commercial for and it starts with a “V” too. All because our Mayor runs around on his now ex-wife.) called a meeting with the leaders of the Latino and black communities but it didn’t help. Still the unthinkable being carried our and Since Mayor V. is busy working for overthehillary’s campaign, nothing will be done about it.
MLK, A HERO who fought AGAINST race segregation being honored by bringing in a speaker from an organization called…
THE RACE, but IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE and for HISPANICS ONLY!?!?
MLK rolling over in his grave, along with Lincoln, Washington, Houston, and so many more.
UNFRICKIN BELIEVABLE
You know , it is interesting…..What color, or Nationality,..is an American?
Can anybody answer a particular Race or Nationality???
no
Go ask Americans of Chinese decent how they feel about illegal entry into this Great Country. Go ask ANY of the American Citizens who came here LEGALLY!
America is a Nation of Laws. If you don’t like them…GO HOME.
BUT PLEASE, As WE Are Now LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS,
WE ARE PAYING FOR YOUR FREE RIDE!!
WE COME FROM ALL NATIONS & ARE ALL RACES & COLORS!!!
WE ARE AMERICA!!
As with all good lies, there’s more than a little truth in it.
It is true that hate has seeped into this, and that there really is no need for it.
Because this is true, they want to fashion it as the cornerstone of “the debate,” and therein lies the problem. It is a red herring.
The debate is simple, and the Minutemen and their supporters have been calling for it: for a nation to be sovereign, it must be secure in its own borders.
That is the issue to debate. It is the only issue, in fact.
And it is the one issue that “La Raza” is afraid of.
The tragedy here isn’t La Raza’s exploting the situation. What do you expect from a pig, but a grunt? No, the tragedy comes from the people who claim to be standard bearers for MLK.
MLK didn’t serve in the military, but he was quick to point out that many African American’s *HAD,* and that they were *PATRIOTS* who deserved the same respect as everyone else.
I am open to correction here, but can anyone show me one instance where MLK called for open borders of any kind?
His dream was beautiful, but it was about a nation – not a geographical region that anyone can claim. Read the text of MLK’s “I have a dream” speech. It is very specific, and mentions a great many locations where injustice and despondency lie. He mentions, by name, places like Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, “Northern Cities,” Georgia, etc.
Dear God, have you ever heard, or even read, the closing of that speech? How he calls on God Almighty to let freedom ring in Pennsylvania, in New Hampshire, Colorado, California, etc.
He never mentions Mexico. He never mentions the Dominican Republic. He never mentions Colombia.
These people shouldn’t be ashamed of themselves; they should be jailed for fraud.
What a horrible miscarriage of one of the most important messages of the 20th century.
She grew up in KC Kansas, That tell’s me alot about her. KC Kansas is the stinking armpit of KC, the real and orignal KC is in Missouri and there are part’s of the city as in most you just don’t go into in KCMO but one place you never go is KCK unless you work in one of the industries down there. They are constantly shooting at each other, drive by’s even at funeral’s. This is a weird city you have KCMO, KCKS, North KC and KC North confusing to most visitor’s. LaRaza cancelled their covention here because the Mayor hired a women member of the Minutemen and they wanted her fired, she offered her resignation but the Mayor would’nt accept it, Yeah! so LaRaza pulled their convention another Yeah! I’m wondering if her parent’s were Illegal Alien’s or Immigrant’s. Enforce the damn law’s I’m sick of seeing them come in and steal alcohol and anything else they can get their hand’s on from my wife’s employer and so is he. They convienatley can’t speak english until you mention calling the police, and where do a good number of them live? in KC Kansas.
The constant and deliberate interchage between “immigration” and “illegal immigration” has to stop. The MSM and politicians do it constantly, and it is confusing to those who do not follow the issue.
Obviously (to some), it is the dishonest attempt to make average people think that anti-illegal immigration folks are against all immigration, which is demonstrably false. It is a lie, and they should be called on it, be it a newspaper article or a debate or anywhere in between.
Why is it that only hispanics (the definition of which itself is suspect and confusing) require signs, announcements, owner’s manuals etc., etc., in Spanish rather than English? Is Spanish more removed from English than say, Chinese or Hindi? I think not.
What does this say about hispanics? What do hispanics think this says about them? Do they care?
The funniest thing (in a sad way) is that blacks have the most to lose from an influx of illegals, but the flying monkeys of the DNC tell them otherwise, or just let them think what they want.
Where is Sharpton and Jackson on the issue of this La Raza chick speaking at an MLK celebration? Have they sold out their own people (again)?
I don’t think King would have taken kindly to illegal aliens working for less than minimum wage, stealing union jobs and not paying taxes. I tould say King would be very much against open borders.
Maybe off topic/Maybe not

What’s a “Pack Rat” condition?
The Mexican government is replacing its counsel to Orange County, CA because he was determined to be not activist enough in US domestic politics. The Mexican government has announced an agenda to become very active in local political activities in the US. The incoming counsel has said he plans to be “everywhere”. Folks, the struggle is just beginning.
MLK always stressed that if you feel a law is unjust, you should challenge it in the courts, in the constitutional way. And he put his body where his mouth was. Will the open borders crowd file suit to challenge the immigration laws? I’m not holding my breath.
If I hear one more time that our immigration system is “broken” I am gonna scream! To US, it would be fine as long as the laws on the books were enforced. To THEM…it is broken because it dares to even exist!
Brown is the new Black.
No need to apologize. Thanks for the comments. I agree with your point on laws.

A “Pack Rat” is a person who saves most everything and doesn’t like to throw anything away. Most likely the person in the article had a lot of paper and trash in the home which would fuel the fire.
Hey thanks geminicontender,
They don’t hear me even though I’m one of them loud people. They would rather I sit quietly in the corner after being shouted down. That will never happen.
Back in Time, that should be the theme song of the left. The liberal ideology has peaked and now that we see candidates from their different sub-groups competing against each other none of them can ask the others any questions. They can’t afford to appear racist, sexist, or any other ist so they can’t discuss anything of any modern importance or relevance without craks appearing in their façade as we are seeing. That’s why we see them offering handouts in exchange for votes that is why we see them trying to revive 40 plus year old issues. Leftism truly is an ideology of fear they even fear each other and if they are too afraid to debate each other how in the world can they deal with foreign leaders, especially the most tolerant islamofascists? Handouts? The left has constructed an Animal Farm and on it they have embraced a 1984 ideology, a double plus ungood. I look for this house divided to crumble like a stale saltine cracker in the not too distant future. Some might describe it as…blowback.
America for Americans, no hyphen wanted or needed, my ancestors dropped the hyphenated American tag, well, centuries ago. If you are missing your homeland so bad that you need to bring it with you, stay home, you will in the long run be happier. Either you are an American or you are not, if you desire to be an American citizen there is no in between. So get with the program or go home and make that home better, anyone is free to leave, there is no wall.
The biggest offense I see is some companies that want to pay an hourly rate from 40 years ago for the same job today. They complain that they can’t find Americans to do the work in return for 1970s wages. Well no duh you cheap rip-offs! The greatest weapon an American citizen has against illegal immigration is their wallet, use it wisely.
Thanks ATXCowgirl. So, a slob. never heard that term before.
The hate you feel is directed at lawbreaking and a willfull disregard for the Culture of America being assaulted by people who do not want to adapt, but want to force Americans to be UnAmerican by adapting to an outside force.
The hate that Hispanics feel is the hate of law abiding Americans that are sick and tired of illegals making demands for law abiding citizens to make changes to their lives, to provide services to illegals, and to simply allow illegals to pull every American’s lifestyle lower than it would be with-out illegal immigrants.
The hate that Hispanics feel is their own making, from their own mind, from their own failings. The hate is directed not at Hispanics, but it is directed at actions that many Hispanics have decided freely to act out. When there is no Illegal Immigration assault on America, do you think there will be anomosity towards Hispanics? I do not think so. 99% of all Americans are not racist xenophobics and the other 1% which might be are ostricized.
I for one am sick and tired of pressing 1 to make a phone call to my phone company. I for one am sick and tired of having to look for english directions in the manuals I buy. I for one am sick and tired of going to a resteraunt and not being able to talk to the jerk behind the counter that speaks broken english. Basically, I am sick and tired of having my English Language and my Culture assaulted by people who should not even be in this country, they are invaders, looters, pillagers and rapists. Drugs, gangs, and any number of other bad types of things come to America, along with the hard worker and the only way to get the chaff out is to force people to enter the country through a process that takes many months where our country verifies that people are who they say they are, that they are not criminals, and that they will not become a burden to our society. That is how my wife got here, through a visa, that took just shy of 1 full year to get. We did it the right way, and I demand that people who want to have the privilage of becoming United States Citizens follow a rigorous pathway that does not start by breaking the law.
I just clicked on the link provided in the story about La Raza (“The Race”); I knew a little about them, but it was rather “enlightening” if you don’t know what they truly stand for. For example, their stand that the southwest should be retaken by the Mexican government and made into a new state(I’m paraphrasing what I read, so forgive me if I missed something).
So tell me…how did a celebration of MLK become a soapbox for an organization that advocates something like that? I have a feeling if he were here with us today, he would be shaking his head and telling us, “That’s NOT what I had in mind!”
Common Sense in America for the most part is OFFICIALLY DEAD.
Black Americans are the ones MOSTLY impacted by out an of control Illegal Alien population. (Not that any of us are immune to the anti-American Effects caused by this problem)
Branden-in-escalon
La Raza calls it “Reconquista” … which is Spanish for reconquer … in this case they preach that the US Southwest is their’s … not ours … we stole it from them … and that they should take it back …
You know, if one were theorizing that the black organizers were at all “devious”; this could be a brilliant move. The Nevada results on the LEFT side showed a real reluctance on the part of hispanics to vote for a black candidate.
Savvy individuals from the black community would try to reach out to hispanic leaders to bridge a gap that could bring much benefit to Obama in terms of votes. This assumes of course the organizers were supporters of Obama instead of the other first black president.
I’m just sayin’……….
YES!
This drives me nuts. Brit Hume could not be more apparent in his anti-Romney stance.
Yeah,this is progress.This is the greatest nation the world has ever seen progressing straight to He**.
This is obviously subjective because as a Rudy supporter I see the bias leaning in favor of Romney and McCain; most pundits on Fox have essentially written Rudy off unless he wins Florida, which doesn’t sound pro-Rudy to me.
The likely fact is we’re all passionate
and simply see the reactions of others to our chosen candidate through a very severe and uncompromising magnifying glass.
On topic: King had a terrific vision which as others have said has been perverted into a color-centric society instead of a color blind society. That’s tragic. On an un-PC notes, however, to this day it irks me a little to think that his birthday is a national Holiday while Washington and Lincoln, who faced gigantic challenges and met them squarely (and Lincoln, too, was assasinated), have been reduced to “President’s Day”. Somehow that makes Kind seem greater than those two who are only his equal when rolled together. Indeed, I think Reagan did more in actuality than did King (admittedly Reagan was lucky to live through his assasination attempt), but there’s no Reagan Day, either. I’d like to wind that thought up with a definiative conclusion, but, alas, there isn’t one, except perhaps that someday some porn-miester will make a form of porn that’s truly educational and call it “Politically Correct Gone Wild.”
Great video regarding McCain’s doublespeak on amnesty
Just found this…spread the word..
Thanks for that great link, Truthmattersfa #83. John McCant will get my vote the day global warming hits. Never.
Let’s not forget that “The Race” takes racism to a new level. Recall this news form a couple of years back:
http://michellemalkin.com/2005/06/29/somexican-racism-is-okay/
And they defend it to this day. Not exactly the kind of thing Dr. King fought for.
Frosty as usual lays it out crystal clear in this MLK day article-

Desert lover-
Thanks for clarifying, I know I had missed something.
What is scary, is that when you give a group like that legitimacy, and they espouse extreme ideas, then those ideas began to take on legitimacy in some people’s minds. Not many people would take you seriously (I hope) if you were to brazenly call for something that extreme; but when you shield yourself under the umbrella of being a “civil rights group,” it is assumed(again by some who might not know otherwise) that you are merely trying to protect the Hispanic population from racism. Then you can slide in the more extreme views.
I wonder what Bill was dreaming when he fell asleep during the MLK service. Drudge has the video up now. Too funny.
people forget MLK was a socialist going back to his school days.
How pathetic to be called racists by members of “THE RACE.”
And we just lie down and take it, as we are invaded.
It is NOT broken in four states – it’s just beginning to work!
A sense of hate? Yeah I hate this – a village of illegal aliens, complete with a brothel, in the suburbs of San Diego.
It is duplicity for La Raza to lecture anyone on hate. And for the MLK celebration to let itself be hijacked by La Raza – sick.
Between the Latinists and the Islamists, real Americans will have to fight or be assimilated or marginalized. But how do we waken mainstream (I hope) America, the silent majority (I hope)?
Hispanics have been inviting themselves to the minority pity party since the 70s with only modest success.
Until last year though when Americans stood up and loudly said no more illegals.
After that, all the stops were pulled out in the attempt by Hispanics to co-opt the civil rights success that Blacks have enjoyed.
No matter that civil rights laws don’t mention foreign nationals and that in some areas of the nation, killing Blacks is considered sport by Latino gang bangers, not to mention south of our border, hate for Blacks is oppressive.
Apparently, the complete disregard and even disdain for our natural right to our own nation state, abuse of our health care, welfare, food stamps, housing and education systems along with millions marching with prejudice against our nation and in support for the entitlement attitude that has displaced millions of Americans, turning whole regions into third world slums and forcing the breakdown of the societal mores that created the greatest nation the earth has ever known; all of this isn’t hate; but Americans pointing out the incredible costs we’re burdened with and the destruction of our very way of life, is?
Despite the collusion of big media, big business and big government, Americans have every right to feel like the rape victim who is blamed by the rapist with no end to the suffering in sight.
Americans deserve a national victims bill of rights, and justice.
