War Has Been Declared

By Joseph Farah

We often talk about the illegal-immigration crisis as an "invasion."


Some surely consider that hyperbole.


Invasion? Isn't an invasion part of an act of war?


That's right. And we not only have the evidence of the invasion in the form
of 12 million or 20 million illegal aliens in this country. We also have the
rhetorical evidence of actual declarations of hostilities against the United
States by some of the organizers of this invasion.



You may have read some of these declarations of war elsewhere. I took the
trouble of finding original recordings or original citations for each and
every one. So you can be sure of the accuracy of these quotations. You can
send this column to your friends, your loved ones, other Americans who need
to be awakened to the threat facing them and their country.


Here is the naked agenda behind those massive illegal-alien street protests
you've seen recently:



_____

"Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the
future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten
rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die ... Through love of
having children, we are going to take over."


- Augustin Cebeda, of the Brown Berets, at a rally in Los Angeles July 4,
2000, captured on videotape.



_____

"We have an aging white America. They are dying. They are sh----- in their
pants with fear! I love it! We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I
mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him!"


- Jose Angel Gutierrez, political science professor at the University of
Texas at Arlington, captured on videotape.



_____

"Because our numbers are growing ... [some are] afraid that we're going to
take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They are
right, we will take them over, and we are not going to go away - we are here
to stay, and we are saying 'ya basta' (enough!)."


- Richard Alatorre, former Los Angeles city councilman at a September 1996
Latino summit conference in Los Angeles opposing California Proposition 209
ending affirmative action, captured on videotape.



_____

The American Southwest "... seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction
of Mexico without firing a single shot."


- Carlos Loret de Mola, July 20, 1982, the Mexican newspaper Excelsior.



_____

"Que viva la causa! It is an honor to be with the new leadership of the
Americas, here meeting at UC Riverside. So with 187 on the ballot, what is
it going to take for our people to vote - to see us walking into the gas
ovens? It is electoral power that is going to make the determination of
where we go as a community. And power is not given to you - you have to take
it. Remember: 187 is the last gasp of white America in California.
Understand that. And people say to me on the Senate floor when I was in the
Senate, 'Why do you fight so hard for affirmative action programs?' And I
tell my white colleagues, 'because you're going to need them.'"


- Art Torres, former California state senator and chairman of the California
Democratic Party, January 1995, captured on videotape.



_____

"California is going to be a Hispanic state and anyone who doesn't like it
should leave."


- Mario Obledo, co-founder of the Mexican-American Legal Defense and
Education Fund, or MALDEF, in a radio interview on KIEV in Los Angeles, June
16, 1998.



_____

"We are practicing La Reconquista in California."


- Jose Angel Pescador Osuna, Mexican consul-general, at Southwestern
University School of Law, Feb. 6, 1998.

There are many, many more shocking, revelatory quotations that show the true
nature of the invasion - literally, the declarations of hostilities that
have been issued over and over again. But this sampling should dispel all
notions that this movement is about assimilation, about U.S. citizenship,
about equality, about diversity.


It's about power. It's about payback. It's about a takeover.
