Casa de Maryland, a taxpayer funded group that assists illegal immigrants, has made a public threat to the children of the grassroots Minuteman Civil Defense Corps that have made headlines since last fall monitoring day labor centers in the Washington DC area.
An article published yesterday by the Sean Sands of Maryland Community Newspapers Online quoted Casa de Maryland’s Executive Director Gustavo Torres saying “We are going to picket their houses, and the schools of their kids and go to their work. If they are going to do this to us, we are going to respond in the same way, to let people know their neighbors are extremists, that they are anti-immigrant. They are going to hear from us.”
The Minutemen have been photographing contractors picking up illegal aliens for work at the Wheaton day laborer center in Maryland spurring conflict with the illegal immigrant supporters.
Casa de Maryland, according to their own website, was “designed to address the multiple conditions of poverty and disenfranchisement that control the lives of many Latino immigrants and refugees“ and “achieves its goals through programs in areas such as leadership, organizing, women's empowerment, tenant support, employment, legal services, health, education, social services, and immigration assistance.”
Casa de Maryland offers an email and phone number where someone can coordinate potential employers with “experts in construction, carpentry, landscaping, babysitting, housekeeping, painting tiling, moving, odd jobs and more.” Casa de Maryland claims to have placed approximately 5,760 men and women in different daily, temporary and permanent job settings in 2004.
The group's website states Casa de Maryland has partnered with Clark Construction, Allentuck Landscaping Company and AFL-CIO to provide those seeking employment with jobs.
From Casa de Maryland’s 2004-2005 annual statement the Minuteman Civil Defense Press Corps found 51% of the groups $2.7 million came directly from grants issued on behalf of Montgomery County.
In response to the threats, Minuteman Civil Defense Corps President Chris Simcox said, “Threatening children like this is outrageous. Casa de Maryland’s funding should be pulled and its contracts cancelled. It is beyond belief that taxpayer dollars are funding this thuggish behavior."

Tacoma Park is directly up against Washington DC, near the right upper side of the "diamond." It's ultra leftist liberal, a "sanctuary city" where illegal aliens are allowed to vote (at least in local elections) and so on. It's been a magnet for America haters and America invaders for years. I suspect that the funding comes from the city of TP.
I doubt it. His supporters probably consider it a legit tactic, in the "people's struggle for social justice."
There's always a loophole for anti-American scum.

I suspect the "Leadership For A Changing World" knows their award winner threatens children.
The "Leadership for a changing world" award is probably a socialist front, supported by George Soros etc.
They will probably give him another award for "effectively battling the racist reactionary forces."
When it comes to illegal immigration, the same could be said of everyone from Bush on down, with the exception of Tancredo. I don't know what's going on in this country anymore. I think the whole thing is going to melt down anyday. I don't know what to do, except buy ammo. Doesn't matter who you vote for, they're all idiots just playing games.
As well they should. After all, they're only here to do the jobs we Americans do want to do. /sarc

Roger that.
This "sanctuary" garbage needs to be brought to everyone's attention. I can't see justification for any city to give "sanctuary" to illegals. How then do such areas enforce any other laws? If I lived in such a city and violated any laws, I would seek "sanctuary" and if I were denied I would then sue for discrimination.
This type of community needs to be put in the spotlight so more Americans will understand what is going on in this country.
Cheers to the Minutemen for bringing this to light!!
The Barbara Bush Foundation for Literacy is also listed by the group as a donor (to Casa De Maryland).
Any doubt about President Jorge?
I am not going to sit back while the US turns into a banana republic, and I sure hope you don't either. It's past time to get control of our borders and enforce immigration laws.
I'm not willing to live with it! I am going to do everything I can to get word out so that more Americans understand what is going on. Then I will do whatever else I can to get the borders secure and demand our officials enforce immigration laws.
Dear Gustavo Torres , you or your criminal band of terrorists go near my child and I can find you there won't be enough of your DNA left to ID you to your next of kin......comprende pendejo ? La cagaste chupamonde......
This POS threatening kids validates everything the minutemen are after em for..... Minutemen are no less than a community funded neighborhood watch program to locate and report criminal trash illegally in this country.
I'll have to send a C-Note donation to the Maryland Minutemen as they are one of the groups doing good work if they have outted this band of terrorist & criminal panderers in such a fine manner.
Well done Minutemen ! Well done !
Illegal aliens and their advocates have been emboldened to the point of being defiant. They don't agree with American immigration laws, and they know that we have an open borders President who will defend their views before he defends the views of Americans.
Amen. THe heroes and villains are pretty clear here.
You call it, I notify team CW2: PING!!
He's upset enough about it that he has made it easy for his listeners to contact the Montgomery County Council.
Have at it, folks!
Here's what you need to know, from WMAL AM630's website:
