LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles City Council signed a resolution alongside the Anti-Defamation League on Wednesday in support of civil and human rights for immigrants.

The Declaration of Los Angeles is an initiative of the Anti-Defamation League, Latino-Jewish Roundtable and International Affairs Committee.

The declaration calls on elected officials to recognize the basic human rights of immigrants and raises concern about "vigilante" groups that have the potential for violence.

"We have a long history of standing up for immigrants' rights. We do this because we were once strangers in this land, too," said Amanda Susskind, director of the regional ADL.

"Simply, the extremists are taking over the debate. Our declaration does not propose a solution to our immigrant debate. Our declaration is simple. We believe human rights have a place at the table. We believe xenophobia and racism have no place at the table."

The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California and Archdiocese of Los Angeles are among the 18 organizations that have signed the Declaration of Los Angeles.

The Anti-Defamation League plans to take the declaration to the California state Legislature during the 2007 session.

"The coalition's work comes not a minute too soon," said City Council President Eric Garcetti.

"Los Angeles is a truly cosmopolitan city. We have the opportunity to model for the rest of the country how to incorporate hundreds of cultures from across the globe into civic life peacefully and by recognizing the dignity and rights of all."

Have those people been sniffing poppies?

So pretty much, this is a non-binding over glorified letter that they want amnesty for all. Why is the city getting involved in this special interest / non-profit agenda? This has nothing to do with city business.

"Declaration of Los Angeles" (city council-approved pro-illegal immigration resolution)
The Anti-Defamation League, their Latino-Jewish Roundtable, and several other groups have convinced the Los Angeles City Council to sign the "Declaration of Los Angeles", a far-left resolution that claims to support human rights for "immigrants", but which is little more than a resolution in support of illegal immigration, couched in the expected doublespeak. Next year they're going to try to get the California legislature to sign on, and the Mexican partisans in that body will probably trip over themselves to comply.

The press release quotes Amanda Susskind, Director of the ADL Pacific Southwest Region:

"At this particularly volatile time in our country's history, we find it of utmost importance to unite against hatred and victimization aimed at many people who migrate to this country. Without negating the need for safe and secure borders, nor aligning ourselves with partisan politics on the issue, the ADL stands strong in the desire to support basic human rights and fair treatment of immigrants."
There certainly is some "hatred and victimization" of all types of immigrants, yet as their history shows the ADL is willing to smear those who simply support our laws of engaging in those practices. And, of course, "migrate" is a bit close to the Mexican government's favorite euphemism for illegal immigration, "migration". And, of course, their "fair treatment" - based on their past statements - is "comprehensive immigration reform".

According to the release, the Declaration also condemns "xenophobic rhetoric... especially about Latino immigration". As above, their definition of "xenophobia" is what others call "opposition to massive illegal immigration". They also oppose "vigilante civilian patrol groups creating the potential for violence and an atmosphere of fear and lawlessness", a truly Orwellian phrase considering the massive lawlessness and political corruption associated with what the ADL supports.

The doublespeak continues:

The Declaration calls upon local, state and federal government officials to: recognize and protect the basic human rights of immigrants, support humane treatment of undocumented persons, publicly denounce xenophobia, monitor and respond to extremists groups that advocate bigotry or racism, hold to the highest standards of human rights and dignity all law enforcement and judicial processes that relate to deportation, detention and immigration status, and recognize the need for a safe and secure United States.
Of course, the government monitoring and responding to groups that abide by the laws is a truly fascistic idea, but no one ever said the other side were nice people. And, the implication that the DHS is not dealing with "undocumented persons" (illegal aliens) humanely is meant to chill attempts at enforcing our immigration laws.

In brief, their position - and the one now taken by the Los Angeles City Council - is only a slightly cleaned-up version of that that one might expect from the Mexican government.

Which brings us to their partners in this enterprise:

* ACLU of Southern California (has at least one indirect link to the Mexican government)
* American Jewish Committee
* American Jewish Congress
* Archdiocese of Los Angeles (led by Cardinal Roger Mahoney)
* Asian Pacific American Legal Center
* Bet Tzedek Legal Services
* Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (alleged collaborateurs with the Mexican government)
* Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation
* Gay and Lesbian Center Legal Services Department
* Korean American Coalition
* LA Center for Law and Justice
* League of United Latin American Citizens
* Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (has at least on indirect link to the Mexican government)
* National Council of Jewish Women Los Angeles Section
* Progressive Jewish Alliance
* Public Counsel Law Center
* South Asian Network

"Los Angeles is a truly cosmopolitan city. We have the opportunity to model for the rest of the country how to incorporate hundreds of cultures from across the globe into civic life peacefully and by recognizing the dignity and rights of all."

You are already a MODEL for the rest of the country, a model of what NOT to do. Productive, law-abiding people and companies are fleeing your city and it's sinking into a Third World cesspool. It amazes me how these far-left libs come up with this swill in order to make themselves "feel good." They have no idea of what they are saying or doing or the results of such tripe.....they just "feel good" about it. Then they retreat to their secluded worlds, far from the ravages of illegals, and opine about all the "good" they are doing. Oh ye Hypocrites, how can the world bear ye??? They speak nothing of the murders, rapes, lawlessness among the illegal community and yet have the gall to refer to the Minutemen as some kind of Nazi group bent on "lawlessness." How can they bear the stench of the vile hypocrisy and lies that exude from their lips? What they say is signifies nothing, but soothes their huge egos and gives them a feeling of moral superiority. Again, they IGNORE and refuse to say ILLEGAL!

Doug McIntyre was going crazy about this this morning. I think he's going to talk about it more tomorrow. He's on from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. PST
