Cobb should heed lessons being learned in California

By D.A. King, Marietta Daily Journal, September 9, 2006


Unless you watch the daily Lou Dobbs show on CNN, or actively search for news on the internet, it is easy to miss the clear and present danger to the future of our children’s America that the ongoing crime of illegal immigration represents.

Most of the politically incorrect news from around the country on the crisis is intentionally absent from newspaper headlines and nightly news broadcasts.

Examples? Stop me if you heard this one from Illinois last year: A Chicago area schoolboy was reprimanded by his principal for not standing during the national anthem.

The Mexican national anthem.

Or this: Protesting recently passed U.S. House legislation aimed at securing our borders and controlling illegal immigration, in March, jeering students from neighboring districts lowered the American flag at California’s Montebello High School, replaced it with the Mexican flag and then flew beneath it - upside down - the Stars and Stripes.

Late last month, in another telling display of loyalty by illegals and those who support them, the American flag was taken down, defiled, and then the flag of Mexico was raised in its place over the United States Post Office in Maywood, California - USA.

Placards reading “go back to Europe! This is our continent and All Europeans are illegal since 1492! proudly reflected the agenda of the snarling ethnically motivated protestors.

Most Georgians have not heard about racist and seditious events like these - or of the town of Maywood. The small metropolitan Los Angeles suburb may seem totally unrelated to us because of its location and distance, but we can learn something of the true agenda of many illegal aliens and their leaders from what is happening there.

Without immediate and decisive local action here, California and Maywood could be examples of what to expect in Georgia and suburban Atlanta.

The federal government released a report last month showing that from 2000 to 2005, Georgia suffered the fastest growing population of illegal aliens in the entire nation - including California and all of the other Border States.

The illegal population in Georgia increased 114%; the next highest rate of growth was in Arizona, with 45%. One can only wonder what the citizens of Maywood thought when they got similar news on California more than twenty years ago. Their mistake is now easy to see: They trusted the federal government to remedy the problem.

Maywood, designed to accommodate about 10,000 people, is officially a town of 29,000 people - another estimate is around 46,000 when illegal aliens are counted.

A drive through Maywood today reveals many instances of five and six mailboxes per house, with garages, sheds and temporary buildings being used as residences.

In a town that is now 97% Hispanic - and nearly half illegal - the recently elected Maywood city council has eliminated its traffic police with the reasoning that too many Latinos were being cited for driving without a license and drunk driving. The new leaders described the previous traffic enforcement as “racist” and “oppressive”. “I don't really see the legal and illegal distinction… we are all human beings” remarked Felipe Aguirre, the new deputy mayor.

One life-long resident is quoted in the British press as cautiously complaining, “you go to the city council and they all speak Spanish”.

There is a lesson here somewhere.

Earlier this year, the city government adopted guidelines that prohibit the city from any enforcement of U.S. immigration law, declaring the city a "haven for illegals”.

What does this have to do with Georgia?

No Georgia counties, Cobb included, have taken advantage of a 1996 law that provides federal training to expand local police authority to enforce immigration laws.

Last month, in Clayton County, the first government dual - language school in Georgia opened. Students at Unidos Dual Language Charter School get about 70 percent of their reading, writing, social sciences and math in Spanish, and 30 percent in English, reports school founder Dell Perry …”it’s [Spanish] sort of where things are going,” Perry said in an AP interview. “We'd be really arrogant to expect everybody to speak English." one student’s mother explained.

Here in Cobb County, a Mexican citizen, Teodoro Maus, who is also a former Atlanta Mexican Consul General and organizer of the March 17 Alliance of Georgia, which staged massive rallies in Georgia this spring in a demand for amnesty and the “rights” of illegals, is the paid “cultural liaison” for the school system.

What!? Eliminated the police force because people were breaking the law?

What!?

Maywood is not the only town being turned into a colony of Mexico. Look at this story from 2003 about the city of South Gate, CA. If this is what we can expect as more Mexicans gain political power in our country we are surely doomed to becoming a third world hellhole.

Our Mexican Future

South Gate, California, is a town of 98,000 about 12 miles southeast of Los Angeles. It is 92 percent Hispanic, and its politics have taken a distinctly Mexican turn. Until January 28, city treasurer Albert Robles was the real power in town, and he and his pals seemed intent on lining their pockets and doing favors for friends. Mr. Robles is a colorful figure who, last year, stood trial for telling a California state senator he would rape her and kill her husband, and also for threatening to blow the brains out of a state assemblyman. His lawyer argued that threats were just politics as usual in South Gate, and Mr. Robles got off with a hung jury. His cronies on the city council approved more than $1 million in city money for his defense, but he now faces new assault and weapons charges.

During Mr. Robles’s tenure, the city council voted itself a 2,000 percent raise, and stripped the elected city clerk of most of her duties when she refused to act as a rubber stamp. The council also hired a convicted embezzler as a litigation specialist, as well as a police officer who was once fired for tipping off drug dealers about raids. The FBI is looking into a shady deal whereby the city council tried to channel $4 million in federal money to a Robles crony, ostensibly to build a recycling plant. The Robles crew has managed to work its way through an $8 million city reserve fund, and the treasury is now empty.

The city’s two police unions, which call the current council a bunch of “klepto-crats,” arranged for a recall vote, which appeared likely to win. The four recall targets, Mayor Xochilt Ruvalcaba, Mr. Robles, a councilwoman, and the vice mayor, resorted to classic Mexican politics: giveaways. They announced free garbage pickup for a month, and anyone who registered to vote was entered in a city-sponsored raffle for a television set. Shortly before the vote, they approved $90-a-month rent subsidies to more than 400 low-income families for a year. In the biggest pre-election giveaway, the city raffled off a three-bedroom house. The drawing was a gala affair on city hall grounds, complete with rainbow-colored lights, thumping ranchera music, and crowds of eager residents. After announcing the winner, Mayor Ruvalcaba told the crowd, both in English and Spanish, “If God permits me, gives me life and I’m reelected, we’ll do this again.” She later claimed the raffle had nothing to do with buying votes; she meant to call attention to the high cost of housing in California.

No one was fooled. Julia Barraza said it was just like campaign season back home in Mexico, when politicians would roll up on flat-bed trucks, handing out blankets, food, and sombreros. “Igualito, igualito, (it’s the same)” she says; “It’s like I never left Mexico.” Councilman Henry Gonzalez, who has opposed Mr. Robles and who was not a recall target, says, “They’re trying to manipulate people by using old gimmicks from Mexico.”

The 37-year-old Mr. Robles modeled the city administration on the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which stayed in power in Mexico for decades. He and his friends seemed so likely to fight the recall with another favorite Mexican tactic—voter intimidation—that the state stepped in. “Election fraud investigators will be working . . . to ensure that the election is coordinated with integrity and the outcome reflects the wishes of the people of South Gate,” explained California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley. He agreed this was an “extreme” measure, but explained that “the average voter in South Gate has felt somewhat intimidated.”

The recall won by a crushing 88 percent, but the lame-duck city council called a final meeting on Feb. 3 anyway to dish out last-minute pork. Despite a standing-room-only crowd of jeering citizens, they promoted 12 friends in city government, and tried to approve a $1 million low-interest federal loan to a Robles pal, even though a Superior Court judge had ordered the council not to award the money.

The highlight of the meeting was a shoving match between councilman Gonzalez and Mayor Ruvalcaba over a piece of paper, which ended when Mayor Ruvalcaba hit the councilman in the head with her purse, and then threw a solid right to the face. “Arrest the mayor, arrest the mayor,” chanted the crowd, as Miss Ruvalcaba raced into a back room. Several uniformed South Gate police officers jumped over the wooden railing separating spectators from councilmen, caught her, and cited her for misdemeanor battery. She now claims that in the middle of the shoving match, Mr. Gonzales made a grab for her breast, and she had to defend herself. She and the three other losers will not leave office quietly; they are on the ballot for new elections on March 4.

In the meantime, even the Los Angeles Times wants to know: “Have Third World politics come to South Gate?” The paper notes that threat-maker Robles and punch-thrower Ruvalcaba are not fresh over the border. They both grew up in America, graduated from UCLA, and took the traditional route into politics by working for established politicians. Their Third World antics appear to be an expression of something other than environment.

Third World politics is coming not just to South Gate but to the entire state. Some time in the late 1990s, whites ceased to be a majority, and in 2001 Hispanics accounted for an outright majority of births in California. Combined with the ones who immigrate legally and illegally, it will be only a matter of time before Hispanics are the undisputed majority. “The long-anticipated Latino majority has arrived,” says David Hayes-Bautista, director of UCLA’s Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture. “In 2003, it is learning how to walk and will shortly learn to talk.” Somehow, it is not difficult to imagine what it will say. “They will be defining the American dream,” says Mr. Hayes-Bautista; “It’s in their hands, basically.”

just politics as usual in South Gate

Sickening!

Earlier this year, the city government adopted guidelines that prohibit the city from any enforcement of U.S. immigration law, declaring the city a "haven for illegals”.

Oh, so it's okay for a city to pass ordinances AGAINST enforcing existing U.S. immigration laws, but it's NOT okay for a city to pass ordiances FOR enforcing existing immigration laws?

What a crock of .......

AmericanGirl, In answer to your question...

Why should he want to...goes against his globalist agenda!

curioupat...here's my question. The ACLU files lawsuits to protect the "rights" on non-American citizens due to a city trying to enforce EXISTING immigration laws, but the ACLU just ignores the rights of American citizens when a city elects to deem all existing immigration laws invalid.

We Americans are getting the shaft.

Right.

Personally, I think those city officials are guilty of something...I'm no lawyer, but I wonder why the Governor hasn't stepped in and removed them from office pending an investigation by the state's AG?

Gov. Bush had to remove, 2 members of the city commision for breaking the law in Miami. They were replaced according to the law.

Get it! THE LAW!
