LA approves Arizona boycott over immigration law
http://yhoo.it/bmhgRU

The City Council voted Wednesday to boycott Arizona businesses, making Los Angeles the largest city to take such action to protest the state's tough new law targeting illegal immigration.

The 13-1 vote, which came after emotional discussion in which several council members recounted their immigrant ancestors, was largely symbolic since only a small percentage of the city's business dealings are affected.

"As an immigrant city, an international city, (Los Angeles) needs to have its voice heard. ... It is crucial this great city take a stand," Councilman Ed Reyes said.

The resolution is expected to be signed by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. It bars the nation's second-largest city from conducting business or reaching new contracts with Arizona businesses unless the immigration law is repealed, and also prohibits most city business trips to the state.

A new Pew Research Center Poll finds fully 73% of the country thinks police requesting immigration status documents is fine, while 67% think detaining someone for a status check is OK.

The poll reports that, overall, 59% approve of the law's broad provisions, while less than a third (32%) now oppose them.

Arizona gov. signs bill targeting ethnic studies
http://yhoo.it/dudzhl

PHOENIX – Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has signed a bill targeting a school district's ethnic studies program, hours after a report by United Nations human rights experts condemned the measure.

State schools chief Tom Horne, who has pushed the bill for years, said he believes the Tucson school district's Mexican-American studies program teaches Latino students that they are oppressed by white people.


Evangelicals' full-page ad in D.C. will call for immigration reform
http://yhoo.it/aSuqYl

Galen Carey, director of government affairs for the National Evangelical Association, tells Yahoo! News the organization is seeking to rally support for comprehensive immigration reform. The campaign begins with a full-page ad Thursday in Roll Call, a Washington newspaper that covers Congress.

"What we say is: There does need to be some workable system that's put in place to address the situation of people that are already here," Carey said.

The association, which includes members from 40 evangelical denominations, reached consensus on the issue of immigration reform in 2009 — almost two years after President George W. Bush's failed attempts to reform immigration — by focusing on the biblical material that supports immigration.

The problem is in Arizona and they are going to raise hell in CA?...... in which case any blk raising hell should go and do it in Africa?........it makes no sense.

[Gypsybiker45]

In return perhaps AZ should begin taking their full share of the Colorado river water??

California should remember that boycotts can work both ways.

And Cali, this is for you:

[bonaparte]

If LA loves illegals so much, why doesn't Arizona just round them up and bus them to Los Angeles. Just drop them off in front the the building that offers public assistance to illegals and give them the name of the person they need to talk to. Maybe after 100,000 illegals are shipped to LA they will start to rethink their position.

[StackerKen]

Man I may need to move out of Ca....head for AZ

Its so ridiculous

The AZ. law is is the same as the fed law that wasn't being enforced.


Edit to add; But of course MSM doesn't say a word about that fact

I consider this a net positive for the state of Arizona. No more Hollywood pop culture filth will be sold to them anymore.

87% Say English Should Be U.S. Official Language
http://bit.ly/cd7SF0

Americans continue to overwhelmingly believe that English should be the official language of the United States and reject by sizable margins the idea that such a move is racist or a violation of free speech.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 87% of Adults favor making English the nation's official language. This is the highest level of support yet but in line with what voters have been saying for several years. Just nine percent (9%) disagree.


U.N. Human Rights Experts Criticize Arizona Law
http://bit.ly/d6lhG1

Arizona's new law on illegal immigration could violate international standards that are binding in the United States, six U.N. human rights experts said Tuesday.

The basic human rights regulations, signed by the U.S. and many other nations, regard issues such as discrimination and the terms under which a person can be detained, the experts said.

"A disturbing pattern of legislative activity hostile to ethnic minorities and immigrants has been established with the adoption of an immigration law that may allow for police action targeting individuals on the basis of their perceived ethnic origin," the experts said.

What about the hostility towards white america?

I wish I could find something on the web about other country's laws and punishments for being there unlawfully.

Generally speaking, when the punishment is death or being sentenced to doing hard labor in a labor prison camp, then that is very effective in keeping illegal immigration under control.

[StackerKen]

OK. I THINK I GET IT
Let me see if I understand all this....

IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU
GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR.

IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY.
IF YOU CROSS THE AFGHAN BORDER, YOU GET SHOT.
IF YOU CROSS THE TURKEY BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU SPEND
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IN PRISON!
BUT, IF YOU CROSS THE U.S. BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET:

That may be why they are mad. They are about to get inundated by illegals who would have gone to AZ. CA is about bankrupt already.

What a great idea Bonaparte !

This would be a rare opportunity to make the liberal whackos pay for what they are trying to cram down the throats of patriotic Americans.

But don’t expect them to “rethink their position”; one thing I have observed about liberal whackos is their illogical stubborn intractable response even in the face of being blatantly proven dead wrong. They border on the moronic/ retarded. The only way to teach them is to make them literally eat their words and make them personally suffer for their beliefs.

Let me know; I would be willing to pay for a one way bus ticket. Better yet, maybe we could fill train cars with them and get a discount for volume business.

What part of “illegal alien” do you NOT understand ?

Best wishes,

AZ should dam the colo river and wait till la BEGS for water....then demand all illegals leave la or no water.

[Dirty Harry]

Right now, If I'm going to purchase anything, I look online to see if I can get it in Arizona first. Kills two birds with one stone. Helps their economy, and screws the govt out of sales taxes. It's a win/win.

I think I might be sending Gov. Brewer a check with a donation also.

Screw Kommiefornia.............

No no no

Give the Water to Illegals for Free but make all the city council and bleeding heart liberals pay a steep @$$ subsidy tax everytime they go to pick up theirs.

Protesters have urged Major League Baseball to move the 2011 All-Star Game from Phoenix in the wake of Arizona's controversial new immigration law, but Diamondbacks President and CEO Derrick Hall sounds as confident as ever that the game isn't going anywhere.

"I've had absolutely no indication that we'd lose the game," Hall said. "In fact, I'm confident that it will stay here. I think it's a difficult precedent for any league to set, making decisions based upon controversial state bills."

UC Berkeley ends hunger strike over immigration
http://bit.ly/amLOjI

With the blessings of ceremonial dancers, a group of UC Berkeley students ended a 10-day hunger strike Wednesday while negotiators met with the chancellor over the status of illegal immigrants and student demonstrators.

About 20 hunger strikers, mostly students, had camped out in front of the school's administration building since May 3. Their initial protest target was Arizona's new immigration law, which requires police to stop and question anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally.

The Los Angeles City Council, protesting Arizona's tough crackdown on illegal immigration, voted Wednesday to ban most city travel to Arizona and future contracts with companies in that state.

Council members argued that a new Arizona law, which will make it a state crime to lack immigration papers and requires police to determine whether people they stop are in the country illegally, would lead to racial profiling and discrimination. The law takes effect July 23.


Small New York Town Makes English the Law
http://nyti.ms/baIGm6

JACKSON, NY -- This town, population 1,700, has no schools, no post office and no churches. And now, at town meetings, it has no Spanish, no Chinese, no Arabic.

The town passed an ordinance last month that requires all Town Board meetings to be conducted exclusively in English. The measure was approved 3-1 by the Town Board and has divided the residents of this Washington County town.

The new rules are merely making official what has been done for the last two centuries, said Carol Rich, a Town Board member who voted in favor of it.

Boycott the People Boycotting Arizona

May 13, 2010

by Henry Makow Ph.D.

On Friday April 23, Arizona did something federal politicians don't have the guts to do. Enforce the immigration laws.

Immigrants will have to prove they are in the country legally. What's wrong with that?

You can't have a country if you don't distinguish between citizens and non-citizens. You can't have a country if anyone can enter illegally and receive the benefits of citizenship.

That is why the Illuminati media is up in arms about this legislation. "You can't have a country" is the message the Illuminati has for the American people. The USA will be merged into a world government controlled by the central bankers.

Overwhelming Majority Of Americans Support Arizona's New Anti-Illegal Immigration Law

By Frosty Wooldridge
5-13-10


President Barack Obama scratched his head. Congress shook its collective cranium. The media, always chastising the American public as to its 'racist' treatment of illegal aliens living and working inside America-shuddered under the latest Washington-based PEW report: 73 percent of Americans support Arizona's anti-illegal alien bill-SB 1070.

The bill mirrors federal laws and allows law enforcement in Arizona to arrest, detain and turn over to Immigration, Customs and Enforcement officers the estimated 460,000 illegal aliens living in Arizona. An illegal must be caught for a lawless infraction before he or she can be pulled over. Additionally, the law pursues employers with strong consequences of fines and jail time.

As pro-illegal alien supporters march in the street demanding amnesty-more and more Americans react in opposition. Americans want their borders secured.

For 30 years, five presidents and every U.S. Congress in session failed to enforce laws on the books. As a result, 20 million illegal aliens wander around the United States with forged, stolen or phony IDs and Social Security cards. They work, live and operate in the shadows. They remain outside the American mainstream.

But, they tap into $346 billion annually in American taxpayer benefits across 15 federal agencies: 'free' education for their children K-12, 'free' breakfast and lunch programs K-12, 'free' English as a second language instruction, 'free' prenatal care and birth costs for over 400,000 pregnant illegal alien mothers annually, 'free' assisted housing, 'free' food and housing for over 350,000 illegal criminal aliens residing in U.S. prisons.

While the media waxes emotionally about all of the illegals coming to America for a "better life", the American people grow angrier as 20 million of them arrived ILLEGALLY. They jumped the line in front of millions that wait legally to attempt to immigrate into America legally. The illegals break the mores of this society's foundation: the rule of law.

"Strikingly, nearly half of the democrats polled liked the law, under which local law enforcement officers are tasked with verifying peoples' immigration status if they suspect them of being in the country illegally," said Margaret Talev, reporter for McClatchy newspapers. "While the Democratic Party is regarded as more sympathetic to the plight of illegal immigrants, 49 percent said they would favor the law's passage in their own states."

That study shows the resentment sweeping across the nation as illegals usurp jobs, overwhelm schools, bankrupt hospitals and degrade wages for America's middle class and minorities that summer the most.

"In addition," said Talev, "69 percent of Americans said they wouldn't mind if police officers stopped them to ask for proof of citizenship or legal right to be in the country."

The poll results show that Congress will not be able to pass an amnesty without a growing uproar over legalizing those that arrived illegally. It violates Americans' basic understanding of the rule of law. The biggest organization in the nation to stop massive illegal and legal immigration, www.NumbersUSA.com with Roy Beck, enjoys over 1.0 million members and some days, they add 7,000 to 9,000 members as the issue heats up in Congress. During the June 2007 amnesty attempt, Beck's members melted the phone lines with over 1.5 million phone calls and over 2.0 million faxes within five days. The bill suffered defeat.

Another aspect of the illegal alien migration question: Tea Party phenomenon. Angry voters expect to vote out incumbents because they tire of 'career' politicians that do nothing year after year, decade after decade, i.e., U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer, Robert Byrd, John McCain, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Jon Kyle, Arlen Specter, Carl Levin-all of them ineffective, out of touch with the American people and dead wood.

After decades of abuse, non-compliance and disregard of border security-Americans expect to show their voting power in November by throwing the rascals out.

The Arizona Ethnic Studies Law: The Last Gasp of American Individualism
http://theoccidentalobserver.net/tooblog/?p=1870

Things keep getting more and more interesting in Arizona. Now they have penalized school districts that have ethnic studies courses: As reported by the NYTimes, “any school district that offers classes designed primarily for students of particular ethnic groups, advocate ethnic solidarity or promote resentment of a race or a class of people would risk losing 10 percent of its state financing.”

The people involved in teaching these courses deny that there is any advocacy of ethnic solidarity or racial resentment against Whites. And if you believe that, I’ve got some land I’d like to sell you.

Tom Horne, the state superintendent of public instruction, is the main man behind the law. He points to an incident in which all the Mexican students walked out on a speech by his deputy, a Republican Latina who was trying to counter another speaker who said that Republicans hate Latinos: “In the middle of her speech, a group of students that are in the Raza [!] studies program got up, put their fists in the air, turned their back to her. The principal asked them to sit down and listen, and they walked out on their own principal.” Sounds like a hostile act of ethnic solidarity.

The NYTimes article mentions that Horne objects to Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire, and the LATimes mentions Horne’s objection to Occupied America: A History of Chicanos, by Rodolfo Acuña, a professor and founder of the Chicano studies program at Cal State Northridge. Who would ever think that titles like that could lead to resentment against a certain (very evil) race?

Actually reading these books is well beyond my tolerance level. Friere’s book sounds like straight cultural Marxism right out of the Bill Ayers playbook. A reviewer quotes Friere: “Education as the exercise of domination stimulates the credulity of students, with the ideological intent (often not perceived by educators) of indocrinating them to adapt to the world of oppression.”

Occupied America emphasizes the evil that Whites have inflicted on Mexicans and Native Americans in the past. An Amazon review titled “Abajo con los Gringos!” (“Down with the Gringos”) states that Acuña’s book “contributes additional heft to the indictment of White settlement and expansion in this hemisphere as the cause of immense suffering by an essentially stone-age culture at the hands of a militarily superior civilization.” Another states that Acuña


pulls up countless accounts of slaughter, rape, torture, mutilation, and abuse of Mexican men, women, children, mostly incited as a sort of blood sport by American cavalry, enlisted men, volunteers, and associates, as well as the leveling of Mexican cities and towns just for target practice. To add to the war crimes, most of the Americans involved, even the command of Zachary Taylor, were never brought up on any charges, nor even in the most slightest way, reprimanded for their actions.

One has to agree with Horne and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer that this sort of thing is likely to produce hatred toward Whites. A spokesman for Brewer stated, “Governor Brewer signed the bill because she believes, and the legislation states, that public school students should be taught to treat and value each other as individuals and not be taught to resent or hate other races or classes of people.” Horne says much the same.

So the ideology underlying the bill is to let bygones be bygones and get on with the project of getting along with each other. The intellectual basis is classic libertarian individualism. Horne puts it this way:


I believe that what’s important about us is what we know, what we can do, what’s our character as individuals, not what race we happen to have been born into. And the function of the public schools is to bring in kids from different backgrounds and teach them to treat each other as individuals. And the Tucson district is doing the opposite. They’re teaching them to emphasize ethnic solidarity, what I call ethnic chauvinism. And I think that’s exactly is the wrong thing to do in the public schools, and that’s why I introduced this legislation to give myself the authority to put a stop to it.

This libertarian ideology is indeed the last hope of those intent on avoiding a race war as the inevitable consequence of present trends. The idea is that the faces will look different as the US absorbs all these immigrants, but we’ll still have a consensus commitment to individualism — nothing but vestigial group loyalties. No group conflict. No retribution for what happened in the past.

But now that America has gone so far down the road of minority ethnic consciousness and has signed on to massive non-White immigration motivated by fear and loathing of the traditional White population, is it really possible to turn back and pretend we are all nothing more than individuals? One reason to think that this is very unlikely to happen is that individualism is a unique creation of Western culture. No other culture has developed individualist institutions, and there is no reason to suppose that the millions of non-Whites who are crowding our shores will do so. Certainly these programs of ethnic consciousness raising will do nothing but strengthen group loyalties and hatred and resentment and hatred of the White majority.

At TOO we have repeatedly emphasized that White Americans are crazy to voluntarily become a minority in a society where the non-White majority has historical grudges against them and continues to have a strong group consciousness. Hostility to the traditional people and culture of America is a powerful current among Jews, spanning the entire Jewish political spectrum, from leftist intellectuals like Susan Sontag (“The white race is the cancer of human history”) and Howard Zinn to neoconservatives like Norman Podhoretz (see also here). It goes without saying that these attitudes are common among Blacks, and the fact that Acuña’s work is mainstream among Latino intellectuals is yet another indication, if any were needed, that it is common among Latinos too.

All the indications are that non-Whites are coalescing into a powerful political coalition centered in the Democratic Party. This coalition is formidable in large part because of the involvement of Jews who are such a prominent component of American elites in the areas of personal wealth, media and political influence, and in the legal and academic worlds.

This plea for individualism is really the last gasp of hope for avoiding a racial bloodbath in the future. It is simply inconceivable that a non-White majority led by racial and ethnic activists filled with anti-White hatred of the sort that we see every day now will somehow be magically transformed into an idyllic Neverland of individualists of all races, ethnicities and religions. Unless Whites manage to develop a separatist state or manage to massively reverse the changes of the last 45 years, they will be in a physical fight for survival.

This is not to deny that Whites have been brutal towards other peoples in the past. But it is naïve to suppose that non-Whites would behave any differently if they could have. Speaking as an evolutionist, the idea that Western culture is uniquely evil is ridiculous.

But the idea that Western culture and White people are uniquely evil have been common among the intellectual activists of the left that now dominate in the academic world, beginning with the Boasian anthropologists who dominated anthropology for most of the 20th century. The Boasians created an imaginary past expunged of ethnic violence and warfare (see here, p. 29 ff.) Non-Whites were portrayed as gift-givers and myth-makers, not at all prone to ethnic warfare.

Non-White intellectual activists are now celebrating their ethnocentrism and hostility toward Whites. Legions of them are tenured professors in departments of ethnic studies. Acuña’s department of Chicano studies at CSU-Northridge has 28 professors, and it’s the same pretty much everywhere. The Arizona legislation shows that this sort of intellectual ethnic activism also pervades the K-12 curriculum.

So Whites really have three choices:

* Reverse the trends of minority empowerment by getting rid of ethnic studies programs and deporting illegal immigrants, as Arizona is doing. However, that won’t be enough, unless they succeed in getting the very large numbers of legal non-White immigrants to leave.
* Stake out a White separatist area in North America.
* Get ready for the coming race war.
