CA. Hispanic Candidate Speaks (Reconquesta)
New California Media ^ | 7-26-02 | Raul Vasquez

Posted on 08/01/2002 9:50:55 AM PDT by txdoda

Peter Camejo, a fluent Spanish speaker from New York who was born to Venezuelan parents, is running for governor under the Green Party. He is making a serious attempt to woo disgruntled Latino voters from the other two mainstream parties, especially the Democrats.

But Camejo's views on immigration certainly raise a few eyebrows. "We think that immigration is what made America great, especially the Mexicans," said Camejo, standing in the center of the banquet hall as it emptied in preparation for the Democratic dinner a few hours later. "This is a part of Mexico, this is territory taken from Mexico, and we're for amnesty for the people who are here."

Now it's coming from a U.S. citizen

What leads you to believe that Camejo is a US citizen?

I hope you didn't assume that because Mr. Camejo is running for state wide office that he is a citizen.

Remember this is California, citizenship is not required for voting, just a driver's liscense.

Not terribly surprising. The Green Party is essentially a new Communist party. Take a look at their platform sometime.

What about "Bush's illegals"? You think they won't vote for him?

Oh, no way! Bush's illegals will vote Republicano! /sarcasm

Well, looks like I need to do some Internet research tonight to find out how to immigrate to either Iceland or Australia. I don't want future generations of my family to live in a Third World USA.

My ancestors immigrated from England to seek a better life. After 382 years, I suppose it is my turn to make the drastic change.

The other two mainstream parties? The Green Pary is mainstream? Since when?

Yeah, the big question is...where to go. I just want someplace that respects women, property rights and doesn't hate white people.

agreed....but Gephardt addressed "La Raza" last week, he's also working on an amnesty plan.....

Yes, it's what I would expect from a democrat committed to the destruction of America as we know it. But let's face it, Bush got the Amnesty ball rolling last summer when he announced out of the blue with Vicente Fox at his side that he wanted to grant Amnesty to illegal aliens under the 245(i) extension act and, incredibly, has vigorously supported it since 9/11. In fact Bush went so far as to send WH operatives to Capitol Hill this March to strong arm the House leadership into passing the bill containing the 245(i) Amnesty against their wishes.

Given this, we shouldn't be surprised to see a democrat one up Bush's open borders liberalism with an even greater Amnesty proposal. After all, though most democrats may be traitors to the nation, let's give them credit for at least operating in their best interests. They know illegal immigration represents a titanic windfall of dependent welfare recipients to the Democratic Party as far as the eye can see. All of which makes Bush's open border agenda all the more bizarre.

There might still be time to hand Kosovo back over to its rightful owners before the UN starts demanding that we hand half of Florida, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California over to Mexico on the same perverted basis.

, aka the Mexican elites have solved their 'native problem' by sending them north

The Pope kind of slammed Mr. President Fox yesterday when he told him that the Mexico needs its indigenous people and that Mexico's indigenous people need to be in Mexico. Fox looked like he was caught off guard on that one.

TeeHee, the Pope is absolutely correct. All the Mexican elites are doing is upsetting OUR politics and sending their OWN people away. Mistake! Bless JPII!!

Yes ---the look on Fox's face when the Pope told him that was priceless. His whole plan shot down by no one less than the Pope himself. He seemed for once in his life to be speechless.

I suspect the Pope has figured out that when America becomes a weak Balkanized Nation due largely to illegal immigration it will no longer be in a position to defend freedom around the world.

From the El Paso times article:

"This noble effort to build a better Mexico, one that is more just and united, requires the collaboration of everyone," the pope said as President Vicente Fox and other political leaders listened. "In particular, it is necessary today to help the indigenous people achieve their legitimate aspirations, respecting and defending the authentic values of each ethnic group. Mexico needs its indigenous people, and its indigenous people need Mexico."

I should hope Fox and friends were very embarassed and ashamed of themselves ---notice no other leader has been publically reprimanded by the Pope for getting rid of their own citizens.

I wonder...have these Hispanic reconquistas ever considered the fact that Spain took Mexico from the native Indians that were living there, very brutally I might add. Why don't we "reconquer" Mexico for the Aztecs and Mayans?

Visit any Aztlan web page. These so-called Mexican "Hispanics" get rather upset when you call them Hispanics as their descent is mostly Indian. They hate Spain and the Americans with equal ferver as they see both Spain and the U.S. as the conquerers of their Indian ancestors.

I agree and I'd think GW Bush should be embarrassed for enabling Fox and friends to treat their people this way. Heck, Bush should be embarrassed for the degradation that illegal immigration was wrought upon America. I can’t wait to NOT vote for this guy. He deserves the same fate as his dad.
