Patriots Under Siege (2): Hypocrisy and Deceit

By Mark Andrew Dwyer

This article is a continuation of "Patriots under Siege (From Both Sides of the Border)"
http://americanpatrol.com/GUESTCOLUMNS/ ... 19MAD.html

The criticism and attacks on Arizona Minuteman Project that were launched by various individuals, groups, news media, and organizations sympathetic to mass "migration" of Mexican nationals to the U.S., which category includes parts of the American government, were filled with hypocrisy and deceitful "rationale" that in some cases reached the climax of absurdity. The common denominator of these attacks was a charge that the Minutemen dared to obstruct mass invasion of Mexican "migrants" to the U.S. and disrespected these "migrants'" rights, most notably, the right to improve their lives at the expense of American citizens, and the right to invade (sometimes referred to as the right to safe crossing of the border) and to take over the U.S. by means of "migratory tactics" that would, supposedly, make "Latinos" an electoral majority in a few decades. The purpose of these attacks was to deceive the American public into believing that these were the defenders of America (the Minutemen, that is) and not the invaders (Latino "migrants) that were the root cause of the "border problem", and that enforcement of anything that was being violated almost exclusively by Mexicans was automatically "an expression of racism" (quotation from [1].)

It's very revealing to learn (and worth of remembering) who the attackers were.

Here is a brief account of some anti-Minutemen rhetoric. (Should I say propaganda?)

1. Minutemen are "vigilantes" that take the law into their own hands.

This was one of the most common mantras (second only to the ubiquitous epithet "racist") repeated ad nauseam by the open-border-with-Mexico lobby. According to Fox News (see [2]), during a press briefing with Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in March and about two weeks before the Minutemen Project started Bush said: "I am against vigilantes in the United States of America; I am for enforcing law in rational ways [...]." (It's worth noting that, according to [3], during his 2000 campaign he called Mexicans who cross the border in violation of U.S. laws "heroes, and that his administration de facto refused to enforce the American-Mexican border and several immigration laws that pertained to Mexican "migrants".)

Interestingly enough, none of those who were outraged that, allegedly, Minutemen were "taking the law into their own hands, even before the Minutemen convened at the border (and today we know for fact that all these allegations were false), had any problems with millions of Mexican migrants that took the U.S. immigration law in their own hands, ostensibly, because that law does not adequately address "migratory" needs of Mexico's growing population, and forced their entry into the U.S. without asking for a permission, many of them with a help of armed "coyotes" and other criminals.

2. Minutemen are a bunch of racists, nativists, and xenophobes that are afraid of new emerging Latino majority in the U.S.

According to San Diego Union Tribune (see [4]), Armando Navarro, a University of California-Riverside political science professor and coordinator of the National Alliance for Human Rights that fights for the right of Mexican "migrants" to move freely into the U.S. as they please, characterized the project as "a nativist reaction against us Latinos because we are becoming the new majority." Other critics contended that "the project may attract anti-immigrant racists and vigilantes looking to confront illegal immigrants" (quotation from [5]). According to [7], the National Alliance for Human Rights called Minutemen a mob of vigilante racists. And Jorge Ramos, a high profile Mexican fifth columnist in the U.S. and Spanish language TV commentator, called them "hunters of hate" (quotation from [8]).

Well, how American citizens could not be concerned with millions of "Latinos" illegally "migrating" into the U.S., multiplying at twice the rate the Americans do, and trying to take over this country by becoming, eventually, "the new majority"? Should they welcome the perspective of the U.S. becoming a banana republic run by Latino politicos? (See [6] for recent development in Ecuador to have a taste of what it's like to be ruled by a Latino government.) Is this a symptom of xenophobia to resist a foreign invasion? And does the fact that American border is being violated almost exclusively by "Latinos" make its defense a case of racism? (Of course, it does not; Latinos' cries of "racism" in response to any meaningful enforcement of the border and the immigration law only prove that they, indeed, are the ones who are most likely to violate them.)

In that sense, Poles defending their motherland against German invasion in 1939 were but a bunch of racists (they only shot at Germans), nativists (they denied Germans their right to "migrate" to neighbor countries just because of Germans' alien status), and xenophobes (they did not look forward to German takeover of Poland) that were just looking to confront the Bundeswehr (German army) exercising its right to free travel through Polish border (the Poles confronted Germans for more than a month until they surrendered to German aggression). Accordingly, Polish troopers must have been called "hunters of hate" (Poles really hated Germans for what Hitler's army did to Polish nation). If one used Navarro and Ramos' "logic" then one would conclude that it was Polish resistance to Hitler's troops invading Poland and not the unprovoked German aggression that was the source of the problem when the WWII erupted in 1939. German Minister of Propaganda Goebbels could surely learn something from Navarro and Ramos.

3. Minutemen obstruct redistribution of American wealth to Mexicans and other Latinos.

Per San Bernardino Sun (see [7]), Navarro said that "a weak Mexican economy drives many to leave their homeland in order to build a better future for themselves and their families in the United States." A prospective illegal border crosser was quoted (in [1]) saying: "I would like to tell those people that we are not criminals [...]. We came to pick crops. Our records are clean. We are not selling drugs, we only want to work. Who will pick the crops if we don't?" The same source quoted a Mexican woman who said she didn't send her children, American citizens, to school in Douglas on Friday. "A bunch of us women didn't send their kids because we were afraid of the Minutemen," she said.

Well, the fact that the poverty rates in Mexico are competing only with her explosive population growth doesn't make us, Americans, responsible for the misery they brought upon themselves in their own country. We are under no obligation to educate their children, to feed their poor, and to treat their sick. The unsolicited "gift" of "cheap" labor they offer is a Trojan horse. Not only do they take away jobs from Americans (by accepting lower pay with no benefits), but as soon as they root themselves in the U.S. they claim the right to the entire country just by working in it. The mentioned above remark by Navarro about "the new [Latino] majority" is very indicative of what these "migrants" and their cheerleaders are up to. Ramos gives us another hint of what is inside this Trojan horse by saying (quotation from [8]): "The irony is that the food [Americans] consume and the houses they inhabit were undoubtedly harvested and built, respectively, by the same immigrants they pursue. They complain about undocumented immigrants while benefiting from their labor." So, as soon as we accept their "gift" of illegal labor we lose the right to complain about their wrecking and taking over our country. Like if you hire a gardener and he thinks he acquired an unalienable right to your backyard by working in it. Is anyone naive enough to believe that these "migrants" are guests that will just go back home after making some money in the U.S.?

4. Minutemen are violating illegal immigrants, rights.

Even before the Minutemen Project begun, Mexican government, the ACLU, and other "civil rights" groups, in particular, the illegal immigrant "rights" lobby, threatened with "legal" action if the rights of the border jumpers were violated. Per Washington Times (see [1]), Mexican Consul Miguel Escobar told reporters his government "considers it unacceptable that certain people are detaining Mexican migrants." Arturo Salinas, Mexico's assistant interior secretary was quoted (see [9]) saying: "We have sent all available personnel to coordinate with state and local officials so they can assist our Mexican compatriots [...]. We want (migrants) to know we'll be on alert to make sure their human rights are not violated." Mexico's President Fox said (quotation from [10]): "We totally reject the idea of these migrant-hunting groups. We will use the law, international law and even U.S. law to make sure these types of groups, which are a minority, will not have any opportunity to progress." According to North County Times (see [11]), ACLU's mission was "to make sure that illegal immigrants' rights were not violated."

ACLU posted a position paper at their website (see [12]). Here are excerpts. "In fact, there have been growing reports and allegations of abuse of immigrants as a result of the Minutemen,s activities. Increasingly, it appears that private citizens near the Arizona border are engaging in illegal treatment of immigrants [...]. Under the Constitution, every person regardless of immigration status is entitled to due process, and private vigilantes are not permitted to take the law into their own hands [...]. The presence of ACLU national staff highlights that we will continue to monitor private individuals who want to take the law into their own hands as well as law enforcement agencies who have the responsibility to prevent illegal vigilante action." Per ABC (see [13]), "the immigrant rights group, Deporten A La Migra, says they hope to meet with Arizona's attorney general to demand that the Minutemen be stopped."

What "rights" do the invaders have, one may ask? Geneva Convention grants some rights to the prisoners of war and not to the aggressors. That Mexican government and its fifth column collaborators like Deporten A La Migra, facilitating and welcoming Mexican invasion (euphemistically called "migration") of the U.S. should surprise no one, and the hollowness and hypocrisy of their rhetoric is obvious. They had guts to threaten the Minutemen with retaliation should they brake the laws that "protect" the invaders despite the fact that they encouraged for years violations of international border of a sovereign country (the U.S.) by their citizens. It sounds a little bit like Al Capone complaining about police violating the rights of his associates to break the law as they pleased.

The stance of ACLU, supposedly an American and not Mexican organization, is more surprising. As a matter of fact, if Fox hired ACLU and paid them handsomely, they wouldn't do any better job in supporting Mexican national interests in the U.S. than they do now. Nowhere in their position paper is there any mention or concern of the rights of Americans violated by the "migrating" hordes, or the duty of the Border Patrol and the law enforcement to apprehend foreign violators of our border and the immigration law.

But ACLU's claim of invaders' "constitutional" right to a "due process" reached the paramount of absurdity. I read the U.S. Constitution and its 27 Amendments many times and I failed to find any clause or suggestion that would grant an invading horde the right to a "due process" before the invasion could be repealed. That would be the utmost nonsense it did. What if, say, Communist Cuba sends its troops to invade the U.S.? Will then ACLU claim that each Cuban trooper is protected by the U.S. Constitution as soon as he put his feet on American soil? Will ACLU demand that he be tried in the court of law, which process must include appointment of a defense lawyer for each defendant (compliments of the American taxpayers), before being shot at or repatriated?

Contrary to ACLU's insinuation, repealing invaders or deporting illegal aliens is not a punishment for a crime and, therefore, Amendments 5, 6, 7, and 8 do not apply to such actions, similarly like refusal to give away a car to a hijacker, even if it involves a forceful resistance, is not that hijacker's punishment that cannot be imposed without a due process. Moreover, the law of the State of Arizona contains a provision of "citizen,s arrest that allows private citizens to lawfully detain, possibly with a use of a firearm, suspects of felony criminal offenses (see [14]) a fact that ACLU is clearly lying about when they claim that. "private vigilantes are not permitted to take the law into their own hands.

Obviously, the ACLU is trying to use the U.S. Constitution against the U.S. and its citizens, which explains the above nonsensical conclusions that ACLU is making up. I leave it to your judgment if it's a case of treason or not (certainly, it's very close). But it's absurd to stipulate that the Constitution can be used efficaciously, be it by ACLU or by a foreign nation or a fifth column organization like Deporten A La Migra , to support an objective that clearly contradicts the very purpose of the Constitution, which is the protection and welfare of American citizenry and not the protection and welfare of the invaders and illegal entrants.

(To be continued. Next week's topics include:
5. Minutemen may bring violence, danger, and lawlessness to the border.
6. Minutemen are a nuisance in border zone.
7. Minutemen Project was a controversial initiative.
8. Border should not be enforced at all (because it's controversial)
9. Border enforcement should be left entirely to professionals.
10. Border enforcement is not feasible.
11. More nonsense.)

I would love to see the ACLU taken to court for aiding and abetting illegal aliens.
They are sad excuses for Americans (I am assuming that they ARE Americans)..

The leader of the ACLU is Latin although Puerto Rican not Mexican.

the ACLU and Congress

EVERYONE--GREAT POST GREAT ARTICLE--LONG OVERDUE! BUT GLAD ITS BEEN WRITTEN AND POSTED.

With regard to the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, and Hispanic Alliance for Civil Rights and blah blah blah.....

They are aiding and abetting indirectly and I believe directly this illegal migration into the United States and should be investigated and prosecuted as part of the Collaborative Network of Illegal Immigration.

With regard to their "Americanism".....whether or not they are Americans....I would assume nothing and take nothing for granted.

NO AMERICAN with what knowledge we have now would interfere with Minutemen; degrade organizations working to stop the illegal immigration; or in any manner do anything other than either nothing (complacent) (let somebody else do it) or something (work their butt off) to save our Nation.

To quote: There is a line drawn in the sand. Here it is. You are either with US or Against US.

US = United States of America

I hope your watching ACLU and reading this website....cause we're gonna bring you down.

The people who have relied upon your group are Americans who needed help. Your record is probably weak these days; your "Saving Americans Pot" scraping the bottom; while your efforts to "Save Foreign Nationals with Allegiance to Foreign Governments" pretty full both in expenditure of dollars which I presume are charitable contributions made to a public charity and personnel time.

You'll be judged by your Actions, boys and girls. So, you better decide NOW what side of this line in the sand you're on.

We've already got more traitors, liars, cheaters and thieves than we can fully comprehend at the moment.....but it's my duty now to add to this growing list, "the hypocrites" that apparently wouldn't know a real live true blue civil rights violation if it jumped out of the ground and bit their nose off.

Put ACLU on the Globalist Lists....that's probaby where their funding has been coming from the past few years causing of course a "change in their mission".

If the ACLU takes one more dollar from companies it knows are Globalists trying to take our Nation Down, then every lawyer with the ACLU is going down to....the Court House to be tried by a Jury of Peers!!

I know I'm ready to Peer, how 'bout you all!!!

In fact I'm ready to Peer, and Peer, and Peer, and Peer until the Creek Don't Rise and The Cows Come Home!!!
