Quote: "We are a revolutionary Mexican organization here. We understand that this is not just about Mexico. Its about a global struggle against imperialism and capitalism At the forefront of this revolutionary movement is La Raza. We will no longer fall for these lies called borders. We see America as a northern front of a revolutionary movement Our enemy is capitalism and imperialism...."

#5 Time to be smart here: best to keep a low profile on immigration and Mexico until November. There's no point in raising the issue before then or, as per National Review's prosecutorial expert Andy McCarthy, passing laws like AZ's that don't add any substantive powers while giving La Raza et al a reason to rally. Also best to keep our powder dry because

1) NOTHING WILL CHANGE, either in terms of policy, law or law enforcement, until the people have spoken and given Tweedledum and Tweedledee the resounding bitchslap they so desperately deserve on this-- in November; and

2) given that nothing will change, there's no point in helping Barry achieve his last ditch, ave maria madre de dios stratagem of rallying the latino element of his base.

Keep your powder dry. F*** these twin corrupt parties in November.

#6 1) NOTHING WILL CHANGE, either in terms of policy, law or law enforcement, until the people have spoken

Nothing will change, I think, until the start of the new Congress in January. The lame duck bunch will do what they can to ensure their legacy in the meantime.

#7 If Mexico is that great a culture, then why the hell are you HERE? Go back and revel in YOUR culture.

#8 If Mexico is that great a culture, then why the hell are you HERE? Go back and revel in YOUR culture

It has zip to do with cultural pride or distinctiveness. The goal is simply power for the political scammers who use these desperately poor people for their own ends. The immigrants themselves only want to survive. They're unskilled campesinos who've been driven into the ditch by their and our political class's corrupt bargains (cf the loophole in NAFTA that lets Cargill, ADM etc dump over $1 BILLION in corn-- corn!-- into Mexico each year).

This movement has f-all to do with culture. It's simply one half of a set of corrupt bargains in which our and Mexico's elites cynically barter millions of desperate, hapless Mexicans for power and profit, at the expense of America's fiscal and Mexico's economic health.

#9 I'd contribute a small amount to buy this guy a ticket to the his favorite dictatorship paradise to take part in the global struggle. There is Cuba, Venezuela, etc. I'm sure you can enjoy your free speech rights in those places dipwad.

#10 Went to a Jiffy Lube to have my car serviced today. Many of the staff were Hispanic, but so too were a number of customers. I was particularly struck by the young Hispanic woman, probably Mexican by her accent, who was a little nervous about getting her car serviced for the first time but quietly proud of undertaking this task by herself, aided by a manager who is a native Spanish speaker.

From the looks of her clothes and car, her income is modest but if I followed her conversation correctly (and my Spanish is rusty when it comes to rapid conversations) she's gainfully employed. In other words, an immigration success.

Which makes the sort of thing we see in places like southern California and the political agenda of La Raza all that much more of a travesty.

#11 yeah, so what? Big surprise an UCLA professor would say something like this. Here's another shocker... the entire Chicano Studies faculty agree with him.
