America Catering to Mexicans for Votes in Presidential Race by Frosty Wooldridge

Regular Americans flee California at breakneck speed. Where are they going? Into the interior of America! They flee to Idaho, Montana, Washington, Oregon, South Dakota, Colorado and Nevada. Imagine Americans fleeing to safer places in their own country because of a foreign nation’s citizens invading our country!

Do you notice how Romney and Obama hired special election gurus to garner the Mexican vote in the upcoming presidential election? They don’t address the black vote, the white vote or the American Hispanic vote. They connive for the Mexican vote.

A billboard exploded on the Los Angeles skyline two years ago by a local TV station: “Los Angeles, Mexico: Your Town, Your Community.”

It was spelled out in Spanish. CA was crossed out with a red X and replaced by the word “Mexico.” Two smiling Latinos representing over two million illegal aliens in the City of Angels smiled from their anchor desks. Behind them stood the LA skyline replete with skyscrapers. Most disconcerting was a statue, also in the billboard picture, that stands in the middle of Mexico City.

The Mexicanization of America, races, with total support from Barack Obama and his Congress, full speed across our country. La Raza, the most racist organization in the world, licks its chops as sheer numbers of illegal aliens have taken over Los Angeles. They’ve run Americans out of countless cities and communities. They’ve trashed school systems and bankrupted 86 hospitals. They’ve thrown trash throughout the park systems. They defy laws by not carrying car insurance, driver’s licenses, work off the books paying no taxes, brutalize our schools with their language, spread drugs, and more terrifying are the thousands of cases of TB and hepatitis they spread into Los Angeles. In other words, they’re bringing their Third World into our world.

La Raza’s motto is, “For the Latino race, everything; for anyone outside the race, nothing!” What is their prime directive? It is the ‘Reconquista of Aztlan’ or the retaking of our four border states back into the umbrella of Mexico.

We Never Occupied Mexico: Beck Schools Eva Longoria on Her Mexican History (Video)

“And the idiots in the Bill Maher audience ate it up,” Beck said on his Tuesday evening broadcast before launching into one of the most concise rundowns of Mexican history to date. In fact, as a Mexican-American, it seems inconceivable Longoria didn’t know her own history as well as Beck does.

You might have caught actress Eva Longoria‘s recent appearance on Bill Maher’s “Real Time” in which she claimed that Hispanics would not be moved to vote for Mitt Romney simply because he might tap Marco Rubio to be his vice president. The mere thought of it would be, as she put it, “insulting.” After all, she claims that Mexico was “occupied” by the United States.

“And the idiots in the Bill Maher audience ate it up,” Beck said on his Tuesday evening broadcast before launching into one of the most concise rundowns of Mexican history to date. In fact, as a Mexican-American, it seems inconceivable Longoria didn’t know her own history as well as Beck does.

As it turns out, the Spaniards occupied Mexico for some 300 years and even the word Hispanic was one employed by the Romans when they occupied what now is Spain. So, the Spanish language that is spoken across Latin America is a result of Spanish occupation. Likewise, it was Spain that occupied Mexico for hundreds of years.

in 1846 the Mexican-American war began in the wake of the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas. Mexico considered Texas part of its territory despite the Texas Revolution nearly a decade prior. Mexico never acknowledged Texas’ independence.

Ultimately, the Americans won the war with Mexico but on February 2 ,1848, the two countries signed the Treaty of Guadalupe which stated that U.S. troops would withdraw from Mexico, including Mexico City and take ownership of the Southwestern United States. What’s more, Beck pointed out that the U.S. agreed to buy the land from Mexico for $15 million, even though it was won squarely in victory and there was no obligation to do so. Not at any time did the United States occupy nor rule Mexico. The United States did not subject Mexicans to our form of government nor did it leave troops stationed in the country.

Beck continues with the real history of Latinos in America, below.

Book Presentation: Art and Social Movements: Cultural Politics in Mexico and Aztlán

McCaughan argues that the social power of activist artists emanates from their ability to provoke people to see, think, and act in innovative ways. Artists, he claims, help to create visual languages and spaces through which activists can imagine and perform new collective identities and forms of meaningful citizenship.

Venue:

Address:
2857 24th Street, San Francisco, CA, United States, 94110

Art and Social Movements offers a comparative, cross-border analysis of the role of visual artists in three social movements from the late 1960s through the early 1990s: the 1968 student movement and related activist art collectives in Mexico City, a Zapotec indigenous struggle in Oaxaca, and the Chicano movement in California.

“Art and Social Movements makes a powerful statement about the continued vitality of—and need for—the creative arts in radical political movements. By effectively synthesizing grounded analysis of grassroots politics with deft theoretical explanations of artistic genres, Edward J. McCaughan provides what I believe is the most significant empirically grounded study of cultural politics in Latin America since the anthology Cultures of Politics, Politics of Cultures: Re-Visioning Latin American Social Movements was published in 1998.”

IRS field agent: Here’s how illegals scam system

“Here’s a return right here: we’ve got a $10,300 refund for nine nieces and nephews. We’re getting an $11,000 refund on this tax return. There’s seven nieces and nephews,” he said, pointing to another set of documents. “I can bring out stacks and stacks. It’s just so easy it’s ridiculous.”

“Angry, resigned, helpless.”

That’s how one Northern California Internal Revenue Service employee described revelations that millions of illegal aliens are claiming and receiving billions of dollars in tax refunds for alleged family members in Mexico using a loophole in the tax code.

Knowledge of the scam has grown following a report by Indianapolis television station, WTHR-TV. The report documented illegal aliens filing the IRS Additional Child Tax Credit form for children – often nieces and nephews – who have never lived in the United States. To legally qualify, a child must be present in the filer’s U.S. residence for over half the year.

“We’ve seen sometimes 10 or 12 dependents, most times nieces and nephews, on these tax forms,” a tax preparer-turned-whistleblower told WTHR News. “The more you put on there, the more you get back.”

Obama using health care law to court Latinos

In a press release announcing the ads, the Obama campaign boasted that the health care law would make affordable health care available by 2014 to up to 9 million Latinos who previously lacked it and will allow 736,000 Latinos to stay on their parents’ health insurance plans.

Bucking conventional wisdom that Obamacare is a political liability in November, President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign on Tuesday unveiled three new ads targeting Latino voters and putting the controversial health care law front and center. The 30-second spots will run in Colorado, Florida and Nevada.

“For our president, health care reform is a reflection that we are all one united family,” Obama campaign volunteer Daniella Urbina says in the Colorado spot.

“For working families, health care reform means peace of mind,” Obama campaign volunteer Ernesto Apreza says in the Nevada spot.

Deported illegals persist in quest to reclaim lives in U.S. shadows

While all of those factors may be true, ample evidence in Mexico shows that the number of Central Americans such as Mr. Cordova and Mr. Ponce migrating north continues unabated and may even be surging.


Alfonso Cordova (back row, far right) lived in the U.S. for 30 years and owned an auto repair shop in Los Angeles. Then he was deported to his native El Salvador. His stop at a shelter in Tultitlan, Mexico, is one step closer to his goal of getting back to California to be with his wife, two grown sons and his business. Evidence in Mexico shows that the number of Central Americans migrating north continues unabated and may even be surging.

Alfonso Cordova lived in the United States for 30 years. He has a wife and two grown sons in Los Angeles, where he owned an auto repair shop until two months ago when he was deported to his native El Salvador.

Mr. Cordova, who spoke perfect English inside a packed migrant shelter here, now is scrambling to find a way back into the United States.

“I got a DUI one night,” said the 44-year-old, who briefly lived in Laurel, Md., before settling in Los Angeles. “I was stupid. I just made a mistake, and I got busted.”

The vast majority of undocumented Central Americans passing through Mexico are young first-timers, fleeing violence, unemployment and impoverished conditions in their home countries. But Mr. Cordova’s story of seeking to reclaim a life in the shadows of U.S. law is not uncommon.

“I lived in Florida for five years,” said Sebastian Ponce, 35, a native of Honduras who was deported from the United States in February.

Mr. Ponce, who sneaked back across Mexico’s southern border in recent weeks, said he plans to find temporary work in the Mexican city of Saltillo.

Illegal Alien in TIME’s ‘Top 100 Influential People’

Dulce Matuz is an illegal immigrant who’s the president of the Arizona Dream Act Coalition, the group working to provide a path to citizenship to children of illegal immigrants.

Some are calling it a slap in the face to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer.

Remember how she was in the running to be named one of ‘TIME’ magazine’s ‘Top 100 Most Influential People in the World’?

People voted for her online, and she was getting more votes than President Barack Obama or Oprah Winfrey.

Well, Brewer did not make the list.

But one Arizona person who did make the list is an opponent of Brewer’s immigration policies.

Dulce Matuz is an illegal immigrant who’s the president of the Arizona Dream Act Coalition, the group working to provide a path to citizenship to children of illegal immigrants.

“I am still processing that announcement it seems unbelievable, I am honored,” she told FOX 10.

Dulce says she didn’t know Time was considering her for the honor, although she’d noticed Time had attended a fundraiser for the Arizona Dream Act Coalition.

Campaign urges eligible immigrants to apply for citizenship, vote

Organizers hope that immigrants will be motivated by the aftermath of punitive immigration laws in states like Arizona and Alabama to go through the process of obtaining citizenship and employ their political power.

A new campaign led by civil- and immigrant-rights groups is urging eligible immigrants to apply for citizenship this month in order to vote in the November elections.

The campaign, called “¡Mas Respeto, Become a Citizen!”, hopes to tap into a large pool of legal permanent residents whose potential votes — if they became citizens — could shift the political landscape in many states, particularly around the issue of immigration.

Organizers hope that immigrants will be motivated by the aftermath of punitive immigration laws in states like Arizona and Alabama to go through the process of obtaining citizenship and employ their political power.

“The wholesale demonization of immigrants, and those who are perceived to be immigrant, is not only an affront to the immigrant community, it is an affront against the values that our nation holds dear,” Clarissa Martínez, director of immigration and national campaigns at the National Council of La Raza, said in a conference call this week. “Those who are eligible to become citizens now can do something about it, by taking the first step of becoming a citizen.”

‘Crusader’ against illegal immigration brings his message to the mat (Video)

‘RJ Brewer’ — real name, John Stagikas — has wrestled his way across the Southwest on the ‘Masked Warriors’ tour, to almost entirely hostile crowds. His shaved-headed, in-your-face character was created two years ago by the Mexican American wrestling promotion company Lucha Libre USA.


RJ Brewer

In the center of a starkly lighted wrestling ring, RJ Brewer glared at the overwhelmingly Latino crowd and spread the flag of Arizona across his back.

Buff, mean, white and glistening with baby oil, he snatched the microphone from the referee. “I come from the greatest city in the United States: Phoenix, Arizona!” the wrestler yelled in English. “Phoenix is the only city with a woman in power with the guts to get into the president’s face and address the real problem in this country!”

The audience knows that the “problem” he is referring to is illegal immigration. And the woman is his so-called mother — conservative Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the nation’s toughest law against illegal immigrants.

“You suck, RJ Brewer!” screamed 9-year-old Felipe Soria, spiky-haired and looking like a brown-skinned Bart Simpson. Chants of “Mexico! Mexico!” echoed through the packed arena.

Brewer taunted back: “How dare you boo an American hero!”

Characters are the stock in trade of pro wrestling, drawing audiences into its epic battles of good versus evil. And “RJ Brewer” — a shaved-headed, in-your-face crusader against illegal immigration created two years ago by the Mexican American wrestling promotion company Lucha Libre USA — is el mero malo, the chief bad guy.
