Hidden Agenda Ping!

Tim Molloy of the AP offers a roundup of the recent protest by illegal aliens who are demanding rights to which they aren't entitled in the falsely-titled "Immigration Rallies Draw Thousands Nationwide". It contains the following:
Teodoro Maus, an organizer of the Georgia protest, estimated as many as 80,000 Hispanics did not show up for work.
Molloy or his editors are apparently too shy to tell us that Maus isn't just a member of the "Coordinating Committee of Community Leaders". He's also a former Mexican consul. As with other professions, whether anyone is truly ever a "former" consul is unclear.
Here's an earlier AP article that doesn't disclose his former job. And, here's more on some recent statements he made here.
However, for much more on Maus, see this:
In 1996, Maus joined with local Hispanic activists and turned his guns on Norman Bingham, Cobb County Board of Education Chairman. Bingham, you see, had the temerity to exercise his First Amendment free speech rights in Maus' fiefdom, by stating that Latino construction workers were "uneducated" and "probably illegal aliens". After demanding Bingham's ouster, Maus allowed the chairman to retain his position, after of course recanting and issuing a two-page apology. That same year Maus attacked a Smyrna, Georgia law requiring all commercial signs be in English.In 1999, Maus agitated for the issuance of drivers' licenses to illegal aliens, but in this case the Georgia legislature failed to carry out the consul's edict. That same year, on a Spanish-language radio station, Consul Maus ordered local Hispanics to punish Georgia companies which, in Maus' view, "mistreat or ignore Hispanic customers".
After stepping down as Consul General, Maus stayed in the U.S. as a private consultant and then president of the Mexican-American Business Chamber. Now [2002] Maus is slated to move to Washington as the Mexican government's liaison on environmental affairs...
If president Bush weren't a strong supporter of anything and everything Vicente Fox wants, a former consul agitating his citizens who are in our country illegal would have created a tense situation. As it is, Bush will probably thank Fox when they get together next week.
On the more general issue, please also see this article for the URLs of popular blogs. Please comment on blogs when they cover immigration stories. That's very important since what's covered on blogs tends to percolate upward in the media food chain.
Emailed a note to AP.
It's getting to be that it's not so hidden anymore...
And, just to make it clear, I didn't post this to B&P.
We know that Mexico is using Rob Allyn to spread propaganda in the U.S.
If they're using surrogates to agitate their citizens in our country, shouldn't that be widely covered?
IMHO, Maus is here as an agent provocateur, no doubt with the full knowledge of someone high up in the mexican gov and, probably, high ups in our gov.
Quite possibly, he's been promised the UN Georgia regional overseer position.
Bump!
Mr. Maus, Mrs. Mitchell, and Mr. Peebles
Sounds like another name for Liberal, pro-open borders, one-worlder, wealth redistribution brain-washing.
What's next, "cultural development curriculum" internment camps for the students that are the most 'resistant' to the conditioning?
Just move along folks. There's no hidden agenda here. ;^)
You are quite right. It's been there for all to see. We just weren't notified of the agenda or we chose to ignore it for the alternative (Gore).
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster
since the AP lauds illegal immigrants to petition our government, why not just allow foreign campaign contributions from Iran and China ,too?
Klintoon revisted...
Sounds like a take over to me....
These people are becoming more brazen every day.
In six years Bush has added $3 TRILLION dollars to the federal portion of our National Debt and more than likely doubled the number of illegal aliens in our country.
Even Clinton and Carter didn't do that to the U.S. Taxpayers.
I would have liked to have seen Protest Warrior at that rally.
What is the message they get in Peoria? That we are FLOODED with illegals.
I sure hope these activists really open the floodgates of their activist passion!
What he did is illegal in Mexico and gets you 10 years in prison, after a show trial.
