Attempt to Limit Mexican Trucking in U.S. Masks Union Agenda

Mexican truck drivers have been unfairly denied access to U.S. highways for more than a decade by a wall of prejudice. The North American Free Trade Agreement was supposed to allow qualified American and Mexican truckers to make deliveries across the border, but opponents have exploited safety fears to block implementation. The delay in meeting our commitments has cost Americans hundreds of millions of dollars each year from higher transportation costs and tarnished the U.S. government’s reputation as an honest and reliable neighbor. According to Annex I of NAFTA, licensed and qualified Mexican trucks were to be allowed to make deliveries in U.S. border states by 1995, a year after the agreement went into effect, and throughout the U.S. by MORE

Princess Tiffany goes to Washington looking for hubby David Hartley's body

Why doesn’t Tiffany Hartley just take a damned polygraph test as has been requested by hundreds of thousands of Americans who doubt her recounting of events that allegedly occurred on Falcon Lake on the Texas-Mexico border 8 months ago on September 30, 2010.   On that day, Tiffany and David Hartley, illegally entered the Republic of Mexico via Falcon Lake, a man made lake that straddles the US-Mexico border. Fully aware of State Department alerts warning Americans to take care in traveling to Mexico, and aware of the dangers, the were allegedly on a day trip to photograph a partially submerged church in the town of Viejo Guerrero.   Once there, they were supposedly confronted by 1, 2 o 3 MORE

ALIPAC President William Gheen put in his place by DREAMER Viridiana Martinez

Viridiana Martinez, co-founder and community organizer for the  N.C. Dream Team, debated the nativist President of ALIPAC, William Potter Gheen III on North Carolina Public Radios WUNC and John Stasios “The State of Things” and it was a massacre. Think Hillary Clinton debating Jethro Bodine. Martinez was one of the three NC DREAM Team members who conducted a 13-day hunger strike in Raleigh last summer during a campaign to convince Congress to pass the DREAM Act and recently was arrested along with 7 others at a protest on the Georgia State University campus in Atlanta. They were all released on April 7 with no deportation process initiated. The debate is over two bills currently in the NC Legislature which would MORE

Anti-Immigrant Bills all but dead in Arizona for the year

Yesterday, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld the injunction against Arizona’s SB-1070 anti immigrant bill, as it should have. According to CONSTITUTIONAL LAW PROFESSORS BLOG The Ninth Circuit held that the US had a likelihood of success on its federal preemption argument against these four sections based on the federal government’s claim of preemption under the Supremacy Clause, Article VI…… As to section 3, Judge Paez found that Arizona’s state criminal provision that “a person is guilty of willful failure to complete or carry an alien registration document if the person is in violation” of federal law, is not authorized by federal statutes and “plainly stands in opposition to the Supreme Court’s direction” regarding field preemption. Section MORE

Question of the Day - ¿Por qué?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtMRIEs0nIg&feature=player_embedded”

Cross Posted From THE MEX FILES Much as I liked to make fun of Don Chente’s often blunt (and sometimes gaffe-prone) public pronouncements, the question he raises is one heard more and more in Mexico.  I admit, I get rather snippy (especially when reading and writing late at night, for posting the next morning) when I read remarks like a comment on F.B.I. Director Robert Mueller’s statement to the U.S. Congress that “there is an ‘unprecedented’ level of violence in Mexico linked to the country’s drug wars” to the effect that Mexico could solve the problem by “just legalizing drugs”.  Sorry… that’s been done, but the violence still continues, and I’m afraid my response is that it’sU.S. drug users (including those MORE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE IMPENDING NATIONAL BOYCOTT OF GEORGIA Local and national groups press Governor Deal to commit to vetoing Arizona-style anti-immigrant legislation.

North Carolina Representative Rick Glazier exposes ALIPAC and William Gheen on NC House Floor

North Carolina State Representative Rick Glazier, a Democrat from Cumberland County North Carolina is a Patriot and a hero for standing up before other members of the North Carolina House of Representatives during the debate over HB-33 which would prohibit all state and local governments from accepting the Matricula Consular cards issued by the Mexican Consulate to undocumented immigrants in the US, and exposing ALIPAC and it’s president William Gheen for what they are. Rep. Glazier, took exception to a vile and sophomoric letter Gheen sent to all members of the North Carolina Assembly which in typical Gheen peckerwood style, accused everyone who did not agree with him and support his anti Hispanic agenda of being “un-American”, “traitors” and guilty MORE

Economic Boycott of Arizona to continue despite defeat of Anti Mexican legislation pushed by Russell Pearce

Arizona human rights group Puente, and activist Sal Reza issued a press release today indicating that they will continue to stand behind the successful  economic boycott against Arizona business until the draconian anti Hispanic SB-1070 is consigned to the trash heap of history, along with it’s author, Senator Russell Pearce. The press release states: “The Boycott will intensify and continue until SB1070 and other anti-migrant laws are repealed.” Said Raul Cordero. Raul has been actively boycotting business associated with financing anti-migrant legislators in their election and reelection bids. “These legislators have taken Arizona to the brink of disaster causing major economic losses with their anti-human campaigns against workers and law abiding residents of Arizona.” Concluded Isabel Garcia from Tucson There have MORE

BREAKING NEWS - A Resounding defeat for Az Senate President Russell Pearce

The Arizona Senate has defeated bills intended to force a Supreme Court ruling against automatic citizenship for U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants. Three other major bills aimed at illegal immigration — one to require hospitals to check legal status of patients, another that would require schools to do the same of its students and an omnibus bill that would strip rights ranging from owning a vehicle to getting a marriage license — also went down in defeat in the state Senate. The automatic citizenship bills were defeated on votes of 12-18 and 11-19 as majority Republicans split on the issue. That’s right folk, a solid win for human and civil rights as the hateful agenda of Arizona Senate President Russell MORE

Another frivolous complaint filed by Laine Lawless - Judge John S. Leonardo targeted

Wackadoodle supporters of convicted double murderer Shawna Forde have filed another frivolous complaint, this time with the Commission on Judicial Conduct against Pima County Superior Court Judge John S. Leonardo. Read it for yourself people. The loons need to be locked up in a rubber room for their own protection. Forde was convicted last month of the barbaric double murders of 9 year old Brisenia Flores and her father Raul, and the attempted murder of the wife and mother Gina Marie Gonzalez. Here’s the ludicrous allegations put forth by the two morons, who incidentally, had to “swear under penalty of perjury, that the forgoing information and the allegations contained in the attached complaint are true”. I wonder if the Arizona Judicial Committee will MORE
