U.S. Jews and Latinos form unlikely bond over immigration policy

The Forward ^ | January 27, 2010 | Nathan Guttman

The idea here seems to be to have Jews team up with pro-illegal alien activists to get amnesty passed so that the former can get help from Hispanics in influencing U.S. policy in ways that are beneficial to Israel. Sounds treasonous.

[boomop1]

Jewish commies.

[trumandogz]

Not treasonous, but perhaps irrational.

[popdonnelly]

Leftist nonsense from The Forward. The U.S. has the same rights to regulate ita borders as any other nation. It’s not anti-immigration or anti-Mexican to do so. Political expediency isn’t a good reason to abandon control over your borders.

The Forward...

A publication for jews that plays stereotypical eastern european jewish ghetto music in their radio ads, then asks if anti-semitism is on the rise.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Looking at bible history, one can see that a symbiosis between Jews and gentiles is not a very stable entity. In this situation they both ought to recognize they would be using one another and that it could go to hell in a handbasket quicker than they think. Particularly, I wonder how friendly the quasi-Catholic, quasi-pagan backgrounds of many Latinos really are towards the Jews.

But Jewish activists also see the joint work as an opening for cooperation with the Hispanic community on other issues, such as Israel.

Mexico has a history of supporting the Palestinian Authority. I guess the Jews are blind too.

Stupid Jews, trying to destroy America. Again. Hardly a day goes by.

This is an example of O'Sullivan's first law: "All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing."

Of course it refers chiefly to non-profits. For-profit corporations have their own clear agenda, though over time some of them do tend to lean left where their own profits aren't concerned.

And it also has to do with being at the center of cultural trends. A Croatian-American or Serbian-American organization is going to follow its own agenda narrowly defined by the interests of Croatian-Americans or Serbian-Americans. But a group like the Episcopalians is going to follow broader cultural trends leftward.

We know that Jewish organizations pushed for looser immigration laws in the 1960s because of what happened in the 1930s, so that forms part of the background, but mainstream Catholic and Protestant groups follow the same liberal Zeitgeist as today's Jewish organizations.

It does guys, can’t trust those stinkin Jew traitors. They’re as bad as the brown Catholics.

That's a peculiar reaction. Are you saying that the activities of these groups is somehow excusable because of who they are? To call them out is to be anti-semitic? Or did I completely misunderstand your comments?

Opposing Israel is a staple of modern leftist ideology (i. e. liberalism) - an ideology to which at least 70% of American Jews subscribe. It's not too hard to find liberal Israelis who exhibit the same bad judgement.

I was going to say "Jewish by birth, liberal by choice", but when you think about it, is there any liberal that doesn't crap on their religion/culture/heritage/country/etc/etc in practicing their beliefs?

How many tenants of Catholicism do hispanics toss aside when they cast their lot with liberals?

Bottom line, it should not surprise us.

[oldbill]

Real reason?

Just like their gentile Chamber of Commerce brothers and Hindi motel owners, Jewish businessmen want cheap immigrant labor to increase the bottom line.

There is no honor among these ecumenical thieves who will violate any laws and bribe any politician to fatten their wallets.

[max americana]

here in L.A. I work for rich Jews as a consultant and sometimes they confide in me over drinks what they really think of mexicans...

Overall, this will sound racist but from what they have told me they look at them as cheap slaves.

[Will88]

Most American Jews are certifiably, 99 and 44/100% free of all forms of common sense. They have disdain for the conservative Christians who support Israel strongly, and are trying to make deals with Hispanics who do not support Israel, and whose immigration activist groups are some of the most anti-semitic around.

Some probably actually do believe that supporting amnesty will win them lots of new friends and allies.

[umgud]

Gud points. Hadn’t looked at it quite that way.

[jnsun]

Try crossing the border illegally and getting a job in Israel.

It's about Democrats and consolidating the LEFT in the US.
