Rally In LA Against Immigration Raids
(Los Angeles, CA) -- People rallied in front of the federal building in Los Angeles today to call for an end to the recent immigration raids that have been carried out across the country. Juan Jose Gutierrez, with "Latino Movement USA" says the raids are racist in origin. Gutierrez said they are very suspicious about the government's motivation for carrying out these unjustifiable raids on December 12th, because that is holy day for most people of Latin American origin to celebrate "The Day of the Virgin de Guadalupe." He added that the government's excuse for the raids was identity theft, however, only 65 of the 13-hundred individuals who were deported as a result of those raids were actually charged with that crime.

Sorry Juan The Day of the Virgin de Guadalupe isn't a US Federal holiday and doesn't count here. How sacred could it be anyway if all these people were at work?

"The Day of the Virgin de Guadalupe."

That isn't an American holiday. Go to Guadalupe and worship the virgin if it's so important.

Well first off it is not a so called Holy Day here in America. Second how are the raids racist, Are these clowns saying that raids should only take place by the Feds if multi ethnic? And it just so happens that the largest numbers of people who are here illegally are of that ethenticity.

"unjustifiable raids"? He is kidding right? And here we go with the race card again. PLEASE Juan, come up with something new.

Unjustifable raids because it is a holy day ???
This has got to be one of the most stupidest things I have heard!
When did congress pass a law saying certain people can only be arrested on certain days?
Not only are the raids unjustifable but racist to boot?
Where do they get these ideas from?
This guy needs to be careful or he could find himself on a 5150 hold.

There were also many placards from the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism), the leading leftist antiwar group that was one of the main organizers of the march


May 1, 2006 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Juan Jose Gutierrez is the director of Latino Movement USA and a member of the steering committee of the Los Angeles branch of International A.N.S.W.E.R, a hard core Marxist organization which was responsible for organizing the huge illegal alien protest in Los Angeles on March 25 and is intimately and inextricably involved in the planning and exectution of similar protests today, appropriately the traditional day to support the "International Workers of the World."

Mr. Gutierrez is being given great exposure today; he was this morning even on happy-talk-television Fox & Friends, identified only as being associated with Latino Movement USA.

We have obtained an MP3 of an address that Mr. Gutierrez made at an LA forum hosted by the Party for Socialism & Liberation [PSL] March 10, 2006:

From the PSL website - "Director, Latino Movement USA, Gutierrez was an invited guest at the inauguration of new Bolivian president Evo Morales. He discusses the huge changes happening now in Bolivia with this inauguration the first indigenous President in Latin Ameria who declared the "colonial period was over" as millions watched live on television."

Greeting the audiences as "comrades" Mr. Gutierrez' main point was explaining why the election of Evo Morales in Bolivia should be seen as an important victory for those who support the world-wide Marxist revolution and that Morales should not be seen simply as a Bolivian "nationalist," but as a hard-core Marxist warrior.

Gutierrez talked fondly about the Nazi regime in its infancy visiting Bolivia to acquaint itself with the mystical and power symbols of the native peoples and stated that the Bolivians that he talked to believed that the only reason why the Third Reich failed was that the Nazis turned the swastika upside down.

Gutierrez talked about Morales having become the "...supreme leader of the indigenous [American] peoples..."

Gutierrez stated that the election of Morales meant an "end of colonialism" and the "beginning of a new era" [which Gutierrez suggested was code for the continuing worker's revolution] and that Morales' understood what he was saying was a "message being addressed to entire native American population" and "setting forth a course for all the peoples of the continent..."

While observing the "crowning" of Morales, Gutierrez "could not think of anything else but of the fact that...that 39 years before that day and the age of 39 Ernesto Che Guevara’s life was taken by...agents of the CIA."

Lest one get the impression that Guevara was not an internationalist, that, "he wasn’t a real Marxist," Gutierrez suggests we look to, "Fidel [who] in his introduction [to Che's revolutionary tract] Bolivian Diary...in his introduction Fidel said the people of the communist party of Bolivia who fail to support Che in his quest to ignite the revolution in the South American countries ...[have] nothing more than a prehistoric mentality..."

Gutierrez, director of Latino Movement USA and key member of International ANSWER then states, "I don’t think he could have said it better...people throughout the world who never forgot the message of Che."

Gutierrez feels that what Che did, what Fidel did was, "nothing more than what Evo Morales was doing there," and that "Che's ideology [was] nothing more than a continuation of the ancient ways of life...that remain alive today"

Continuing on Gutierrez concludes his remarks about his first day in Bolivia saying that "it goes without saying that I felt Che's revolutionary presence ...there becoming alive...the time has come to take up the banner of reigniting revolutionary fervor across the continent and across the world."

Addendum from the ANSWER website, use the above to parse the following for it true meaning:


"A.N.S.W.E.R. believes that all working people should back the demand: "Amnesty! Full Rights for All Immigrants!"
Corporations and politicians want to brutalize the people who work the hardest to keep society functioning - immigrant workers...They want to repress immigrants so their corporate allies get more profits. Repressive laws and terror campaigns allow them to exploit immigrants even more, driving down wages and working conditions for all workers. That's why racist politicians and media hacks are scapegoating immigrants for everything wrong in society. But immigrants aren't the real cause of unemployment or crime - it's the rotten system that puts profit over people.

A.N.S.W.E.R. says to Congress and all the anti-immigrant racists that "No Human Being is Illegal!" Racism against immigrants emanates from the same forces behind the criminal war to conquer and control the wealth of Iraq.

There is a force strong enough to defeat the racist warmongers - the united people's movement. That is what changes history.

A.N.S.W.E.R. is working to build a movement that can transform society, disarm the Pentagon and win back all that has been stolen from us - from Los Angeles to Baghdad, Mexico City to Manila, Port au Prince to Gaza and everywhere. Join us in the struggle for amnesty and against war, racism and bigotry!"
