Marxist Labor leaders used Latino voters to move California left – implications for all Americans

Maria Elena Durazo of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, deliberately used Latinos to change Los Angeles.

Richie Ross, a Sacramento based Democratic Party political consultant along with union activist Maria Elena Durazo, her husband, her prediessor Miguel Contreras, California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, linked immigrant union workers with immigrant voters to double the votes cast by Latinos in the early 90s.

In 2000, Latinos were told to pledge to get 100% of their family to vote.

In 2005, the Latinos increased their vote for Villaraigosa by 50%.

In 2010, Maria Elena and Fabian Nunez used the Arizona anti-illegal alien law to push for pushing a vote for Jerry Brown. Latinos accounted for 22% of California’s voters.

The Communist Party USA and Democratic Socialists for America are both committed to increase the Latino vote.

Maria Elena Durazo is closely allied with the two communist groups, Antonia Villaraigosa, and Gil Cedillo. They all trained under Communist Party USA activist Bert Corona.

A young Bert Corona was mentored by communist International Longshore Worker’s Union president Harry Bridges. It was Bridges that convinced Obama’s communist friend Frank Marshall Davis to move to Hawaii. Davis was a writer for the union’s newspaper.

Durazo, Cedillo and Villaraigosa were trained at Bert Corona’s radical Centro de Action Social Autonoma (CASA) in the 1970s.

Both Durazo and Cedillo were connected to another Corona founded communist party spinoff, Mexican American Political Association.

In 1998, the Los Angeles Democratic Socialists of America leader Steve Tarzynski sent an email to Los Angeles DSA comrade Harold Meyerson. Meyerson, a columnist with the Washington Post introduced Barack Obama to the wider American Public.

Tarzynski listed in his email, 25 people he thought should be on an “A-list” of leaders to strategize on the progressive movement. That list included Maria Elena Durazo, Miguel Contreras, Gil Cedillo, Anonio Villraigosa, Stanley Sheinbaum, Karen Bass, Xavier Becerra, Henry Waxman, and Maxine Waters.

Peter Dreier of Occidental College wrote of Villaraigosa’s victory and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis in the DSA’s Democratic Left, Winter 2006 saying that it is “just remarkable what L.A. has become.”

No matter how many things the Republican Party does right over the next two years, it's entirely possible that pursuing amnesty could put the Senate out of reach in 2014. Is it really worth it to give the Democrats their extra 7.2 million votes?

A fine editorial, but it makes the error of assuming that today's Republican Party is serious about opposing the Democrats. If the last two Presidential elections are any indication, this is not the case.

Today's Republican Party cares not a whit whether it gives the Democrats 7,200,000 new votes. That is, as long as the caviar at the latest cocktail party is fresh.

Stop birthright citizenship. No public benefits of any kind without proof of citizenship. Most would return home.

Bingo. Remove the goodies; remove the illegals.

Focusing on Amnesty is a mistake, here. Yes, there would be some eventual path to citezenship for illegal alieans. I grant that but, on the front end the country will finally get e-verification, updated social security cards and hence tracking, no access to social services unless one has a legal status, and harsh penalties for employers who employ illegals. In the end, hotels, vegetables, and housing prices will go up because the work will no longer be done by illegal immigrants. In essence, this means no more exploitation of the poor in the downtrodden which the Dems are supposedly for....

Look, I hate this problem as much as the next person but, we’ve absolutely got to get that front-end stuff in place. We’ve been lax and lazy as a society for 60 years when it comes to border enforcement and the GOP is now payig for it with a surge of ignorant uneducated workers coming in and voting for socialism. We’ve got to tighten up our game before we come a third world country.

.....the only argument FOR anmesty is to get Hispanic votes....

I hate to be the one to bring it up---but it is unlawful to exchange legislation for gratuities and/or votes.

=================================================

If there's any dealing to be done, Repubs had better get on the stick----legislation should be amended to deny citizenship:

(1) to illegals who bought forged/faked multiple identities;

(2) to illegals who fraudulently voted in American elections;

(3) to illegals cashing US govt checks;

(4) to all illegals convicted of crimes;

(5) to illegals w/ fraudulent drivers' licenses......

(6) to illegals undermining the US ecocomy by sending money back to their homelands;

(7) to illegals affiliated with latino organizations undermining US ntl security;

(8) to illegals connected to the hatemongering "La Raza" and to "Raza Studies" that advocates killing Americans.

.............and so on and so forth.

====================================================

Former Cong Allen West should write letters to his colleagues, and to the media, emphasizing the following:

(1) decrying the agitation and intimidation tactics being used by latino groups,

(2) exposing latino groups using hatemongering for personal gain,

(3) emphasizing illegalities WRT threatening the US Congress for passage of self-serving bills, and,

(4) precpitating investigations into fraud and intimidation upon our electoral/legislative system by hatemongering groups.

There seems to be a huge disconnect between Obama/Biden attributing their reelection to "The Hispanic Vote" and the rush to legalize Hspanics. O/B seem to be saying that illegal Hspanics fraudulently voted in US elections (/snix).

=============================================

Some observers say Congress is in a state of paralysis WRT amnesty legislation. Obama is under constant latino presuure----forced to repeat and repeat his once-broken promise to win reform. Dems are floating proposals; Republicans, like Marco Rubio of Florida--with his eye on higher office----is positioning himself as a reformer.

Congress paralyzed? Nonsense---the Democrats are doing everything in their power to facilitate illegal activities on Capitol Hill. Read on.

AP broke the story WRT an illegal immigrant------ and registered sex offender----Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta----who was working as a volunteer intern for Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ).

The Peruvian ilegal was scheduled to be arrested but had not been due to "political concerns" (Menendez was running for reelection in NJ). The Homeland Security said the AP’s story about the delayed arrest was “categorically false.”

But Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa and six other Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee asked the Obama administration for details about the incident.

Guess what?

Obama’s Homeland Security Department lied to the AP. Documents show ICE officials in New Jersey advised that the arrest “had the possibility of garnering significant congressional and media interest” and were “advised to postpone the arrest” until officials in Washington gave approval.

The documents describe a conference call between Washington and New Jersey to “determine a way forward, given the potential sensitivities surrounding the case.”

The Repub senators said the documents show the delay was delayed six weeks just like the AP reported. They asked for details about the department’s review of potentially sensitive, high profile immigration cases when arrests are delayed. Menendez said that his staff was notified about the case immediately before AP’s story; he learned about the case from the AP and he knew nothing about whether or why DHS had delayed the arrest.

=============================================

Mmmmmm.......it's downright amazing how Obama and the Democrats suck-up for latino votes at the same time they're "defending" the US Constitution (snix).

Law-abiding Americans Must demand answers to these penetrating questions.

(1) Why are illegal lawbreakers given the protection of: (a) the federal govt, (b) the Obama Admin, (c) the DOJ, (d) a US Senator, (e) other govt officials/workers/agencies and institutions?

(2) Are Democrats and Obama acting on orders from foreign governments?

(3) Why is an illegal lawbreaker (a registered sex offender) offered more protections and rights than law-abiding Americans?

(4) What's the number of state/officiels/agencies/institutions protecting interests, as well?

(5) What are the penalties imposed on US and state govt officials for using tax-paid govt offices, govt resources, and govt authority, to aid and abet wrongdoing---and why are they not being mobilized?

======================================================

The illegal predator was billed as a "volunteer." So how did he subsist in pricey Washington? who was paying his rent? Who was buying his meals? Who was paying his carfare back and forth to the Senate?

===============================================

L/E should examine Sen Menendez's timesheets, employment contracts, and other govt documents filed relating to actuating the position for an illegal. Its a felony to falsify govt documents---forgery could also be involved. How many other govt checks is he cashing: (1) state pension checks, (2) govt bonus checks, (3) govt annuities, (4) federal SS checks, (5) federal SSI checks, (6) state UI and Workmen's Comp checks. And govt credit cards, expense accounts, adminstrative budgets, travel reimbursements, use of govt cars.......and so on.

What ever is done with people who came here illegally, it must NOT include the right to vote.


You have to remember Anchor Babies. Upon reaching 18 years of age they will be voting. You also have to remember the majority of these “pardoned” illegals will live on the welfare system and breed like rats.

Let’s see.....how long ago was it that Regan passed the amnesty bill in 1986? How old are the first of hordes of babies born in welfare hospitals to previously illegals today? 26?

How many voted for Obama?

It’s pretty obvious why amnesty is important to the communist Democrats isn’t it?

Doug McIntyre said recently in the Daily News that there are 750,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles, or 19.6 percent of the population.

If LA County does not contain at least 2.5 million illegal aliens, I will buy Villaraigosa and McIntyre a drink. The "12 million" illegals nationwide has been a standard line for years. Since they are illegal, no one actually knows. My bet is between 20 and 25 million. Our total Latino population is edging toward the 100 million mark. It is not too far-fetched to imagine that 1 in 5 is here illegally. Of course, many of the rest have illegal antecedents. This ain't really very good.

What also ain't really very good or logical is the Karl Rove hypothesis that "Latinos are the Republicans of the Future. Catholics, doncha know ... strong family values ... hard workers " etc ad nauseam.

What really happens is that the illegal latino illegitimacy rate is very high, welfare usage is very high, and all in all, it's a safe bet that the illegals cost us more money than they bring in in taxes and SS payments ... which is the left/euro/socialist rationale for illegal immigration. How the Democrats keep Latinos and African-Americans, who are the first victims of illegal immigration, in the same big tent is like dudes, beyond me!

“how exactly are you gonna ship ‘em all home?”

Simple!!!

Enforce existing law and fine anyone caught hiring one heavily on a first offense and mandatory prison sentence for a second offense including homeowners!!!

Make it illegal for any government to give them any form of aid.

They will self deport and all be gone within a year!!!!

Amnesty, no. But so far I haven’t heard conservative people offer any other solution besides “send them home”. And I’m waiting.

Here has been my view since the topic hit the boiling point in 2005:

1) CLOSE THE BORDERS FIRST!

2) Streamline the process and fees for Legalization and Citizenship starting with those who have already spent years in line.

3) Provide a window of opportunity for the illegals here to come out of the shadows. Give them a 6 month timeframe to acquire a Temporary State ID which will be tagged with the letter I for Illegal Immigrant. If you do not acquire this ID and you are arrested for any reason after this 6 month window, you will be deported.

4) Along with being given a Temp State ID, you will also be placed into a probationary period of 2 years (or more) where you must remain arrest free for that probationary period. Any misdemeanor or felony conviction will immediately get you deported. Also, like welfare, you must demonstrate that you are attempting to get LEGAL work.

5) After said probationary period, you will then enroll in the Citizenship Program which will allow for Citizenship at the end of the program. The program will consist of the current naturalization test and a naturalization class.

6) During the probationary period and Citizenship period, you cannot file for any financial aid.

2) Why don’t Hispanic voters already support the Republican Party since Reagan backed an amnesty in 1986? The only way the GOP could be helped politically by backing amnesty would be if our numbers with Hispanic Americans went through the roof as a result of the policy. Well, guess what? This concept has been tested in the real world. In 1984, Ronald Reagan received 37% of the Hispanic vote. Then, in 1986, he backed a “one-time” amnesty for illegal aliens. The result? In 1988, George Bush received 30% of the Hispanic vote. If the exact same thing happened again with 12 million illegal immigrants, it would be like the crack of doom for the conservative movement. “

There’s all the proof ya need that HISPANICS will vote democrat/socialism no matter what the GOP offers up!

“Back when Regan made the first amnesty proclamation I told everyone who would listen that that was a grave mistake because now, millions of Mexicans would flood into the U.S. knowing that some time in the future another amnesty would occur.

My predictions were right on the mark.

America, as we know it, is over. Political Correctness, sensitivity, diversity, civil rights, the welfare system and a whole host of other parasitic maladies upon freedom and Constitutional laws has made a lawful and organized society a thing of the past.

We have crossed the line and will not be coming back over it again.”

I’d give anything to find something there to disagree with you about.
