Thread: Lies My Illegal Immigrant Organizer Told Me

“In Brockton, there hasn’t been an event like this one. An event … with many people marching to demonstrate to the city of Brockton, the city councilors, the mayor, and to the many racists that reside here, that here, there is a community of immigrants. That here, we can. That we are here, and that we deserve respect.”

This outrageous statement, as reported by the Brockton Enterprise, was made by one of the organizers of the rally in Brockton on Monday called A Day Without Immigrants.

It highlights what’s wrong with the Left in this country.

It’s one thing to be wrong-headed — to be given a set of facts and come to the wrong conclusion because your principles are wrong, your logic is wrong, or your heart is in the wrong place. It’s another thing to wrongly brand everyone who disagrees with you with a nasty name.

Keep in mind that this statement was made by someone who advocates for law breaking. This isn’t about legal immigration — participants in the rally chanted “Hey hey, ho ho, deportation has gotta go.” So it’s illegal immigration we’re talking about here.

But beyond that, the implication of her statement is wrong. When she refers to “the many racists that reside here,” she is apparently referring to anyone who disagrees with her point of view when it comes to illegal immigrants illegally living in Brockton.

This is ridiculous. It’s not necessary to harbor ill will toward other races of people in order to oppose illegal immigration and want to try to do something about it.

Brockton is one of the poorest cities in Massachusetts. When legal residents of Brockton experience long lines at emergency rooms because some illegal immigrants are using the emergency room for minor medical matters; when they can’t get a modest-paying job because some illegal immigrants are willing to do the work either for less money or without following government regulations or both; when their contracting business is consistently underbid by some illegal immigrants who don’t bother with worker’s compensation insurance; when they have to pay fines for traffic violations but illegal immigrants don’t; when they might go to jail if they present false identification but some illegal immigrants skate; when they are victims of crimes committed by people who don’t have a right to be here …

Noticing the problem and wanting to do something about it has nothing to do with racism.

Calling your opponents racists just because they disagree with you is inaccurate, lazy, and wrong.

Let’s have a Day Without Bearing False Witness Against Your Neighbor.

It appears that the illegals have infested Brockton and are also trying to take over politically by an anchor baby... typical socialist behavior. IMO

A Day Without Immigrants hits Brockton streets


About 200 protesters in Brockton took the streets on Monday just like others in more than 40 major cities in the United States as part of “A Day Without Immigrants.” The boisterous Brockton crowd, including one protester dressed as the Statue of Liberty, was organized by a group called the May Day Coalition.

BROCKTON – They were waving flags of Ecuador and Mexico, and calling for an end to deportation in Brockton.

“Hey hey, ho ho, deportation’s got to go,” the crowd in Brockton chanted, before switching it up. “What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!”

There were no significant labor strikes or boycotts like in other places around the nation, but about 200 protesters in Brockton took the streets on Monday just like others in more than 40 major cities in the United States as part of “A Day Without Immigrants.” The boisterous Brockton crowd, including one protester dressed as the Statue of Liberty, was organized by a group called the May Day Coalition.

“What we really want is for people to stop stereotyping and profiling certain groups of people, especially in this political climate, when people have negative things to say about the immigrant community,” said 25-year-old Natalia Guerrero, a member of the organizing committee for the event and a volunteer with the Coalition for Social Justice. “My entire life, I’ve grown up with undocumented children in Brockton. There’s no way I think they are less Brocktonian then I am.”

This is the second event held to support immigrants in Brockton within the last month, following another City Hall rally in early April. That first event was also held to support state Rep. Michelle DuBois, D-Brockton, who faced backlash for sounding the alarm about a rumored immigration enforcement raid in the city, and her warning for undocumented immigrants to “stay off the streets.” DuBois attended each of the rallies.

Both events have been sponsored by labor groups and other organizations like the statewide Coalition for Social Justice, Brockton Interfaith Community and the Latina Women Association of Brockton. But the latest pro-immigrant protest was much larger than the first, which attracted around 50 people.

“In Brockton, there hasn’t been an event like this one,” said Ines Figueroa, director of the Latin Women’s Association. “An event ... with many people marching to demonstrate to the city of Brockton, the city councilors, the mayor, and to the many racists that reside here, that here, there is a community of immigrants. That here, we can. That we are here, and that we deserve respect.”

The event was attended by first-time Brockton mayoral candidate Jimmy Pereira, who is the son of two immigrants from Cape Verde.

“We need to do our best to dispel the idea that every immigrant who comes here is a criminal,” said Pereira, who works as a transportation and community planner. “They don’t want to be coupled with criminals. They want a better future for their offspring. ... We need to work to help our immigrants. They too want to be American. It’s our civic duty to get them there.”

Guerrero, the organizer from the May Day Coalition, said the Brockton “A Day Without Immigrants” demonstration was a success. Guerrero noted that there were many tireless youth participating in the Brockton rally, and that they were inspiring others with their passion.
“I think the event was really important,” Guerrero said. “Brockton’s youth was extremely motivating. It was a lot of good, positive energy. ... This specific event wasn’t to support any strike or boycott. It was more so to show support to the immigrant community in Brockton, and to make our voice heard here.”
