La Raza Infiltrates School Systems with Racist Teaching
The name of the nation’s most visible, self-defined Latino civil-rights organization, the National Council of La Raza, translates as the National Council of The Race. The official website denies it, of course, but we have dictionaries. That controversial term - La Raza - is gaining currency: Some K-12 public schools now teach something called “Raza Studies.”
Like those in Tucson, for example. The Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) has, in fact, welcomed Raza Studies in its classrooms for about a decade, but it’s been mighty secretive about the association.
What, exactly, is Raza Studies? Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne asked that question in November 2007 when he inquired if it wouldn’t be too much trouble for TUSD to send to him the Raza curricula it was teaching and the textbooks from which it taught them. Actually, TUSD replied to Horne, meeting his request would be a heckuva lot of trouble.
Then the local papers piled on Arizona’s superintendent. The first sentence of a November 26th editorial in the Tucson Citizen read, “Memo to Tom Horne: Butt out.” Another editorial, titled “Horne meddling in TUSD’s ethnic studies efforts,” this one in Tucson’s Arizona Daily Star, noted that “Students enroll in these classes because they cover information that is not offered in other classes. While U.S. history classes and textbooks do a better job than those of the past of including more about our shared history, much is left out.”
What is left out of traditional syllabi, of course, is the grievance and distortion. When Horne finally acquired the program materials he requested, they included texts with titles such as Occupied America and The Pedagogy of Oppression. And according to John Ward, a Tucson teacher who saw his U.S. history course coopted by the Raza Studies department, the Raza curriculum’s focus is “that Mexican-Americans were and continue to be victims of a racist American society driven by the interests of middle and upper-class whites.”
Illegal Immigrant Numbers Decrease Due to Sagging Economy
ABC 7’s Project Immigration revealed that more immigrants are warning family members not to come to the U.S. because of the sagging economy.Along a rural road in western El Salvador, ABC 7’s Andrea McCarren spotted a young boy in a red shirt harvesting sugar cane. His name was Jonathan and he was 12-years-old. Like most children his age, Jonathan had a dream, a dream to travel to the United States and work.
For many Central Americans, the dream to work in the U.S. is fading quick.
“What I want to say to all the people from El Salvador or other countries, the situation in this country is not easy. It’s very difficult and it’s not worth it to risk your life,” said day laborer Jose Manuel Munoz through a translator.
From suburban Washington to rural El Salvador, ABC 7 heard from many immigrants that they are warning their friends and relatives to not come to America. “I say to the rest, this is not a good time to come to the United States. If you are okay, over there, in El Salvador, stay there,” said Rosa Nativi.
We’re Stuck with Illegal Immigrants Unless You Get Involved with Local Politicians
That’s right, here is where we are right now. We are in the middle of a presidential election and our choices are Barrack Obama and John McCain. Unfortunately, both of these candidates are not going to do anything to stop illegal immigration. That’s a fact, plain and simple.
If you’re a Republican and feel that McCain will be the better of the two candidates to stop illegal immigration, he once supported amnesty for illegal immigrants. After much pressure from conservatives, he changed his view to concentrate on walls and borders, mainly tied to security purposes for terrorists.
If you don’t think Bush did anything to stop illegal immigration, just wait until McCain gets in office. And considering Obama is his only candidate, McCain (former amnesty supporter) is the best you’ve got.
So what does that mean? Get local. Look at what states like Arizona are doing, you can do the same thing. All you have to do is pressure your elected officials, or fight to elect new ones. Stopping illegal immigration state by state, on a local level, is the only way we can make a difference in the near future.
Illegal Immigrants in Arizona Sent Back to Mexico for Medical Care
Believe it or not, hundreds of legal and illegal immigrants are being sent back to their home countries for medical care because they lack insurance. However, in some cases the FBI and police have come into stop forcible removals according to patients’ lawyers.
Arizona is able to do this because of federal and state law that mandates only U.S. citizen and legal residents are eligible for Medicaid. The state hospitals are pressured by Arizona leaders to transport non-citizens back to their native country.
This sounds good and all, but the cost to transport the non-citizen can be up to $100,000. The hospital (meaning your tax dollars) has to pay up to $100,000 to send the illegal immigrant back to Mexico! I don’t know if it would be cheaper to treat the illegal alien patient and then send them back by bus . . . but there has to be a better way.
We’re Back! After Being Hacked…
Well, it’s funny . . . we have a ton of websites, including some other political sites, but this Say No to Illegal Immigration site was the only one that got hacked. Is La Raza turning to hacking anti-illegal immigration websites? Who knows, but whatever the case is, we figured out the password and the 17 comments that were waiting for moderation are now approved.
We hope to keep contributing to the website. If you would like to help write articles or give news tips, feel free to leave a comment and we’ll get a hold of you.
Good to be back.
Loophole Would Allow Illegals to Get Tax Rebate Check
A big loophole in the House Bill fortunately caused problems today with the proposed Bush tax rebates. The loophole in the House bill would allow most illegal immigrants to receive a tax rebate check.
If the illegal immigrants work and have a tax payer identification number, they are technically considered “resident aliens”, even if they don’t have a social security number or used a fake social security number to get a job. Therefore, they are eligible to receive the tax rebate check under the current legislation even though they aren’t an American citizen.
Nevada Senator John Ensign (R) said, “I’m not sure that the American taxpayer would like people who are in this country illegally to be getting a tax rebate.”
Really Senator Ensign? At least you have a clue! Supposedly, tomorrow they are going to start working on fixing both the Senate and House Bills to correct this loophole and not allow tax rebates for illegal aliens. At this point in the fight against illegal immigration … who knows what will happen.

“New Immigrants” Letter to Editor Ignored by Orange County Register
From the Email Bag….
It’s no big surprise that the Orange County Register newspaper in California did not print the following letter to the editor.
Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register:
Dear Editor:
So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren’t being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry.
Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today’s American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.
They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture.
Indiana State Senator Takes Gloves Off For New Illegal Immigration Law
Thanks to the great visitors of this website, we learned that Indiana State Senator Mike Delph (R) recently filed legislation to rid Indiana of illegal immigration. Much like other very tough legislation passed in Arizona and other states, this bill would severely punish businesses who hire illegal aliens.
(STATEHOUSE) — Sen. Mike Delph (R-Carmel) filed one of the toughest illegal immigration measures in the country aimed at punishing those who harbor, transport or employ illegal immigrants. Senate Bill 335 is modeled after laws in Arizona, Georgia, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
“It’s time we unite as Hoosiers to uphold and enforce the rule of law. No longer should we tolerate the failure of the federal government to protect our borders and ensure our national security,” Delph said. “We have a proud tradition in this country of being a nation of immigrants, the great melting pot. But we also have a proud tradition and respect for one of the basic and fundamental pillars of democracy, the respect for the rule of law. It is intolerable that the Federal government has allowed the erosion of that respect, and as a result, now states like Indiana must stand and offer assistance.”
Highlights of Delph’s bill include:
- Requiring the Superintendent of State Police to negotiate a Memorandum of Understanding with the federal government to assist with enforcement of federal immigration and customs law;
- Prohibiting a person from knowingly employing an unauthorized alien;
- Requiring the Attorney General to investigate complaints of violation of the law and local prosecutors to file actions against those who knowingly violate the law;
- Requiring a court to hold a hearing, make a determination and:
- Order the employer to terminate employment, sign an affidavit with court, be placed on probation for three years, order the suspension of all licenses to operate in the state of Indiana if perpetrator fails to sign an affidavit with the court (first violation);
- Revoke all licenses to operate in the State of Indiana if second offense occurs during probationary period (second violation).
- Prohibiting any unit of government, state or local, from entering into or continuing a public contract with a firm that employs an illegal alien;
- Requiring all hospitals to report total costs of care of the illegal alien population to the Indiana State Department of Health;
- Requiring employers to verify employment eligibility through the federal pilot program after Dec. 31, 2008; and
- Makes it a Class A Misdemeanor against those found guilty of transporting, shielding from detection, concealing, or harboring an illegal alien. Subsequent offenses would be a class D or C felony.
SB 335 will be heard in the Senate Committee on Pensions & Labor on Wednesday, January 16 at 9:00 a.m.
“All citizens who are concerned about illegal immigration are encouraged to come to the Statehouse next Wednesday and voice their opinions during the hearing,” Delph said.
Illegal Immigrants Cost Los Angeles County $37 Million in November and $1 Billion a Year
Illegal Immigrants do not put a huge burden on the government, that’s just anti-illegal racists blowing it out of proportion, right?
Get a load of this:
New statistics from the Department of Public Social Services reveal that illegal aliens and their families in Los Angeles County collected over $37 million in welfare and food stamp allocations in November 2007 – up $3 million dollars from September, announced Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
Twenty five percent of the all welfare and food stamps benefits is going directly to the children of illegal aliens. Illegals collected over $20 million in welfare assistance for November 2007 and over $16 million in monthly food stamp allocations for a projected annual cost of $444 million.
“This new information shows an alarming increase in the devastating impact Illegal immigration continues to have on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” said Antonovich. “With $220 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $444 million in welfare allocations, the total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year – not including the millions of dollars for education.”
This is just one county in one state! One billion dollars a year paid by Los Angeles County taxpayers for illegal immigrants. Mind blowing.
