Patriots in Murrieta

When President Obama began dumping busloads of newly arrived illegal aliens on small town America to force so-called immigration reform he probably didn’t expect residents of a small California city to take a heroic stand against his lawless assault on the nation’s immigration system.
But grassroots activists in Murrieta, California, near San Diego, have been using the Left’s own playbook against the Community-Organizer-in-Chief’s efforts to force an unprecedented loosening of the nation’s largely unenforced immigration laws. Last week the protesters used the tactics of civil disobedience by blocking federal authorities from bussing in hundreds of illegal immigrants who snuck into south Texas. The feds have vowed to don riot gear in order to transport the illegals to Murrieta but that has not happened yet.
The illegals turned back by angry crowds were bound for what federal authorities called a “housing facility,” but local residents say such a facility doesn’t exist in Murrieta.
Longtime Murrieta resident John Henry said it appeared federal officials intended to place the aliens in the local Border Patrol station, which has only five holding cells.
“There are no showers, and there’s only one toilet in each cell. There’s really no place to give them hot food and no beds. There’s nothing here for them–we literally don’t have any way to take care of these people.”
Henry added, “We additionally don’t have any places for these people to go after they are processed.”
Henry told Breitbart News that the illegals, unaccompanied minors and women from Central America, are being sent to Republican-supporting communities like his city to send those opposed to open borders a political message.
“The administration thinks that if it floods our streets, in small town America, they can force us into immigration reform,” he said. “These immigrants should not be here. The only reason that they are coming here is for political reasons.”
“This is a small town – it’s mostly conservative – and the federal government knows that. The main reason a lot of us are out here protesting is because we do not want these people being dumped into our small town where we do not have programs or the resources to take care of them properly.”
Henry and his fellow protesters have been attacked by left-wingers who prefer hurling epithets to answering arguments.
In a Huffington Post op-ed, commentator Raul A. Reyes smeared the protesters as “anti-immigrant.” The protests themselves were motivated by “racism and xenophobia” and constituted “a shameful, sickening display of anti-immigrant sentiment.”
Except there is no evidence the activists were motivated by anything other than disgust at the Obama administration’s failure to enforce federal law. Nor is there proof that the activists were “anti-immigrant.” Anti-illegal immigrant, sure, but that’s an altogether different thing.
A group calling itself the Tequila Party is demanding the activists be jailed for daring to protest.
California attorney Ruben Salazar, pro-amnesty activist Dee Dee Garcia Blase, and Nebraska attorney Shirl Mora James wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director James Comey asking for an “outside investigation” of local politicians and law enforcement officials in Murrieta.
They accuse activists in Murrieta of being “homeland domestic terrorists (masquerading as patriots),” and claim that they were “obstructing federal law enforcement from performing their jobs and terrorizing small refugee immigrant children from Central America with racial slurs.”
Apparently civil disobedience is only acceptable when left-wingers do it.
Moreover, the Tequila Party doesn’t understand the meaning of the word refugee.
A refugee, under the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, a multilateral treaty that was ratified by the United States, is:
“A person who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country … ” [italics added]
Barring evidence of persecution under any of the five specific grounds, these people are in fact economic migrants, as opposed to refugees. The fact that life is less than optimal in countries like Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador doesn’t make those who leave their countries to sneak into the U.S. legitimate refugees.
The chaos on the U.S.-Mexico border that is now being swamped by uninvited visitors has been a long time coming.
Obama and generations of leftist politicians before him have been using immigration to subvert the American system. In the 1960s the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) shepherded reform of that era’s immigration laws through Congress. The concept is simple: Flood America with people who don’t share Americans’ traditional philosophical commitment to the rule of law, limited government, and markets, in order to force changes in society.
It’s the Cloward-Piven Strategy of orchestrated crisis as applied to immigration policy.
In the Sixties, Marxist academics and activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven called upon activists to pack the welfare rolls in order to spread dependency, bankrupt the government, and cause uprisings against the capitalist system.
Overburdening government bureaucracies would cause “a profound financial and political crisis” that would unleash “powerful forces … for major economic reform at the national level,” they argued in their seminal 1966 Nation article.
Overwhelming local and state governments with illegal immigrants, who qualify for taxpayer-supplied benefits such as free health care, education, and housing aid, might make those governments so desperate that they throw their political support behind the kind of so-called comprehensive immigration reform that the Left favors. After all, when was the last time Congress refused a bailout to anybody?
Although the disorder at the border has been building over time, President Obama gave a green light to would-be illegal immigrants when he indicated he has no interest in enforcing U.S. immigration laws.
Obama has provided executive amnesty and work permits for illegal immigrants covered by the proposed “DREAM Act” that Congress has repeatedly rejected. That legislation, if enacted, would cover individuals who claim to have entered the U.S. as minors under their parents’ guidance.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a directive in August 2013 expanding that amnesty to illegal immigrant relatives of “DREAM Act” beneficiaries. DHS issued another directive in December 2012 reinforcing the existing policy under which almost all immigration offenses were deemed unenforceable absent a separate criminal conviction.
Meanwhile, local media reported late yesterday that no new arrivals are expected to fly into nearby San Diego for the rest of this week: “Murrieta police say Border Patrol officials notified them late Wednesday afternoon that there will be no flights of immigrants from Texas arriving in San Diego on Thursday or for the rest of the week.”
It’s a small, and likely temporary, victory.
I realized a thought during the Falklands fiasco ... occupy the minds of the people with trivial matters while the 'more important' matters take place while our attention is diverted.
Israel was being forced to give land .. outposts, as I recsall .. to Jordan (or someone) ... and the IAF did not take that calmly, but strafed and blew up everything they could before handing it over ... and on the news, 4 color maps showing the English military mobilizing on the QE2 (plywood laid down to protect the carpets), trundling down to Argentina ....
4 or 5 months of maps that looked like Yolanda in the Philippines ...
and what about Israel ?
So ... who's being acceptingly invaded while we watch Murietta ?
On Monday, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Guatemalan president Otto Perez Molina held a joint press conference in Playas de Catazaja, Mexico, to officially announce an agreement to make it easier for those making the illegal journey to the United States from Central America, to cross into Mexico.
The Southern Border Program to Improve Passage, will provide for more border checkpoints along Mexico's border with Guatemala, and offer more protection and even emergency medical care to those making their way north. The illegal aliens will receive a so-called Regional Visitor's Card, according to El Universal. (Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...

VIDEO Gen. Michael Hayden: Treat Immigration Crisis Like Insurgency
Newsmax By Courtney Coren | 09 Jul 2014 12:19 PM / FR Posted by robowombat
GEN HAYDEN: The invasion is an insurgency---"a criminal enterprise that's so big and so powerful that, as a byproduct, it actually threatens the US government."
The only way to describe it......all they need are the guns....they know where the weapons are....and so does Obama. One of their oft-stated goals is to takeback the SW.....a counter-protest sign in Murietta announced "you are on stolen land."
This is being facilitated w/ our tax dollars by The Congressional Hispanic Caucus---Becerra, Guttierez, chief among them....and their allies......it’s a barbarian invasion---the savages have said they want everything we have. They would fundamentally transform America into a Third World....
And the stupid in the WH says its "our" responsibility to feed, medicate and shelter the barbarian hordes who want to destroy us.
AS TADSLOS I SIGHTFULLY POSTED:Every bit of this has a political aim, and this isn’t an insurgency, it’s an outright invasion.
Invaded????
Our Constitution.
A Murietta resident told Breitbart News that the illegals are being deliberately sent to Republican-supporting communities like his city....a vengeful message to those opposed to open borders.
“The Obama administration thinks that if it floods our streets, in small town America, they can force us into immigration reform,” he said. “These immigrants should not be here. The only reason that they are coming here is for political reasons.”
“This is a small town – it’s mostly conservative – and the federal government knows that. The main reason a lot of us are out here protesting is because we do not want these people being dumped into our small town where we do not have programs or the resources to take care of them properly.”......Murietta protesters have been attacked by left-wingers hurling epithets carrying signs reading "you are on stolen land."

It’s all been planned, bozo’s job has always been to destroy America. He just held off until after his re-election to ensure he had carte blanc to bring us all down. He wants a brown country-that is what he is all about-revenge and destruction of the most glorious republic to ever exist! We are so $crewed!
The liberals are trying to force changes in the system but if they push hard enough they may not be able to control the changes. The results might be something they don’t like at all.
No Prez Obama, it's not...no where in the Constitution does it say this!
The border swarm has caused Boobamba and the Dummycrats HUGE political problems.....as 2014 looms.
Dummies lock-stepped behind der leader---saluting smartly as Obamacare passed w/ an historic straight Dummycrat vote----a blunder of Ceausescuian proportions. Now the Dum-Dums have to deal w/ incensed constituents.
(boo-frickin'-hoo).
Other than loony Pelosi and the lollipop licking moron from Texas---very few Dummies are locking-step behind der leader on this one.
===============================================
TALKING POINTS---OLD FAITHFUL DURBIN'S STILL IN LOCKSTEP--TOLD CBS-NEWS HE'S FED UP WITH REPUBLCIANS WRT IMMIGRATION REFORM But will his constituents fall into line with Durbin's loyalty oath to der leader?
JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO DURBIN VOTERS As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act:
QUOTING OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.”
Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
SEN. RICHARD DURBIN WEIGHS IN: “We Democrats believe — and we stand by this — if you like your current health insurance plan, you will be able to keep it, plain and simple, straightforward.” (Sen. Durbin, Congressional Record, S.6401, 6/10/09)
NOW THAT'S LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE
I'm glad that somebody is finally publicly saying that.

Thanks for the link.
The Democrat-Voter registration process is continuing succesfully, un-hindered by any opposition, and will be a boon to the success of the revolution at the polls this year.
