San José (California), 29 abr -- The center Aztlán Chicomostoc criticized the marches announced for May 1 in several cities of California and in the rest of the country and asked the organizers for a "change of strategy".

It is necessary "that the leaders think about doing something more constructive", told Efe MarÃ*a Ortiz, member of this organization.

According to the activist, after the massive marches of previous years, an increase was seen in the "waves of repression against people without any defense from the leaders of the organizations".

Likewise, she emphasized that each those who leave each year to march are mostly the undocumented, and that by that status, they possess no political power to demand a change.

The residents and citizens are the ones that have political power "and the people are the ones that should be at the front of these marches", indicated Ortiz, for whom the motto of the march of this year We March Today, We Vote November 2 " is a contradiction".

"We should not turn our people into sacrificial lambs", said the Mexican Martin Lazo Cuevas, worker of the security service area.

When they are called to march, "they are not told about the risks that implies, they are only invited to participate", he maintained.

In the opinion of this immigrant of 42 years of age and that has never marched, the main problem is that the people that go and march "demand a right that they do not have".

Lazo Cuevas underlined that if a foreigner visits Mexico and he begins to do political propaganda, "without any questions he is arrested and sent back to his country immediately".

"What we have to do now is build institutions of educational, personal, and economic defense to help our people", finalized Ortiz.

Those activist organizations only care about furthering their agendas and could care less who they sacrifice. Follow the money.

Lazo Cuevas underlined that if a foreigner visits Mexico and he begins to do political propaganda, "without any questions he is arrested and sent back to his country immediately".

Yes, in Mexico and their own countries!!

I could kiss this man!

Miguelina beat me to it. I had to pinch myself, but alas, yes, someone in the opposition actually admits the truth...

Thanks for the research LawEnforcer
Good find.

Not only do they get it, but there is a divide growing within the cause. That divide will definitely work to our advantage on many fronts.

OMG! Someone gets it! How crazy is that??? Are pigs flying? I think I'll go check...

Nope, Don't see any!

Finally what many, many Hispanic Americans have been saying all along...could this be for real? I surely do hope so. There efforts are best directed to the corrupt, greedy governments of the nations they left behind. They have every right to protest and make demands there as they should.

Wait! I DID just see a pig fly by. It had Obama written on its underside - but other than that I thought it was a good omen.

I don’t believe the issue is Hispanics the problem is ILLEGALS, ILLEGAL EMPLOYERS, the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, and other SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS. Since the ILLEGALS’ infamous L.A. march displaying their mexican flags demanding their rights United States citizens are distrustful of any organized protest demanding anything. The situation will remain this way until our National Borders are secured and our Immigration Laws are Enforced. Our Elitist Politicians at the demand of their Elitist Political Contributors, Chamber of Commerce, and other Special Interest Groups will not allow the problem to be solved for fear of losing a dollar.
