NAACP, LULAC Denounce Gov. Susana Martinez's Extremist Allies on Driver's License Issue and Discriminatory Anti-Immigrant Agenda

In a joint press release issued today, New Mexico's chapters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) said they are concerned and appalled by the involvement of the Americans for Legal immigration PAC (ALIPAC) in New Mexico politics, as well as Governor Susana Martinez's continued attacks on immigrants and her apparent abuse of power.

"It has become apparent that Governor Martinez's anti-immigrant political agenda relies on support by national organizations with no ties to New Mexico and with questionable motives," said Pablo MartÃ*nez, a member of the LULAC Board and former law enforcement administrator. "We're concerned by ALIPAC's documented ties to white supremacists and other extremist organizations."

In an article in today's Albuquerque Journal, ALIPAC President William Gheen said the group will lobby New Mexico lawmakers to fight the "illegal immigrant invasion of America."

NAACP and LULAC pointed to reports by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) that have repeatedly labeled ALI-PAC as an "nativist extremist" group and an organization that goes beyond mere advocacy of restrictive immigration policy to actually confront or harass suspected immigrants or their employers.

They also pointed to statements in 2009 by the Anti-Defamation League decrying actions taken by white supremacists and Neo-Nazi groups on behalf of ALIPAC: click here and here.

Both organizations stated they believe Governor Martinez overstepped her authority in August, when she instituted the now-halted "Residency Certification Program" that targeted 10,000 individuals in the MVD foreign national driver's license database. The program has since been stopped by New Mexico District Judge Sarah Singleton, who ruled on September 13 that requiring re-verification based on national origin could violate the Equal Protection Clause of the New Mexico Constitution.

"LULAC views ALIPAC's attempt to influence our New Mexico State Legislature as a continuation of a national trend of racist militancy against Hispanic civil rights," said Dennis W. Montoya, LULAC's New Mexico Civil Rights Chair and District 1 Director.

"Our shared concern is the continued harassment of immigrants by the Governor's administration, as well as her apparent lack of concern for the impact her approach is having on New Mexico families," said Sam Bone, President of New Mexico's NAACP. "This constant attack on people that have abided by the current driver's license law is an abuse of power at the very least and is not at all reflective of New Mexico's values. We worry that this driver's license repeal effort is a the first step in the erosion of civil rights for all vulnerable minorities in our state."

Montoya went on to state that the Governor's approach towards immigrants represents "her lack of connection to the people of New Mexico, and a frightening display of overt discrimination. This repeal effort isn't about what's good for New Mexico, it's a part of a larger political strategy to alienate Latino communities from Arizona to Alabama. New Mexico has worked hard to foster positive and respectful race relations since statehood, and we don't appreciate these outside ideologies based on the politics of hate."

"We encourage the legislature to stand up to the Governor and support reasonable proposals that address fraud in the driver's license process, keep all New Mexico drivers insured and protect all of us from run-ins with uninsured motorists," said Bone of the NAACP.

Gov. Susana Martinez has the cards stacked against her, just like Arizona Jan Brewer on AZ SB1070 or any other governor obeying their Constitutional oaths to defend United States against foreign invasion.

At the source link I used the links provided and they go to the same old propaganda type articles about Alipac. I was about to provide them but thought W should make that call.

They're probably already on here somewhere.

Something seriously wrong in this country if one just wants our existing immigration laws enforced you are labeled and called the usual names.

I've been here a long time and know for a fact we are not connected with such groups named above.

Guess part of the plan is to smear and belittle your opposition. They appear quite desperate imo.

You Have UNITED 79% of America from it's previously dormant life ... and we owe it all to your MARXIST / SOCIALIST / COMMUNIST / PROGRESSIVE thought process

the Sleeping Giant is Awake and is very, very PISSED from what you MARXIST / SOCIALIST / COMMUNIST / PROGRESSIVE'S WACKO's have been doing to this Country

"the Anti-Defamation League decrying actions taken by white supremacists and Neo-Nazi groups on behalf of ALIPAC:"

What a crock. I am appalled and confused.. OK appalled..
And all along I thought I was fighting bigotry. Those in favor of ONE GROUP, ONE RACE!
Uh... ILLEGAL ALIENS....Who just happen to be uh.., the majority of them Hispanic.
ALPAC did not start "Illegal immigration, racism, or discrimination."
ALIPAC fights AGAINST "Illegal Immigration, Racism, and Discrimination!."
" white supremacists and Neo-Nazi groups " Not a chance here!
Sure perhaps one post at the most. Not only do the moderators weed out bigots and racists. The members smell a RAT quite quickly too..
ALIPAC IS CLASS,
ALIPAC STANDS AGAINST RACISM, AND DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LAWFUL LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS!
We are for a UNITED AMERICA.. A COUNTRY of LEGAL IMMIGRATION!
In common sense numbers. By the law and not a free for all!
For that we are defamed? Well there should be a law protecting U.S. against the lies and agenda of:
"LULAC Far Left Wing Racist Organization."

"NAACP Far Left Wing Racist Organization."

"SPLC Far Left Wing (MARXIST) Organization."
