Illegal Protest

Ok Southern Poverty Law Center, let’s just forget about the fact that Johnny Sutton used the immunity testimony of a career Mexican drug smuggler to convict these men AND in the process he applied a gun statute that was designed ONLY for the application to CRIMINALS who use a FIREARM in the commission of a CRIME.

Apparently, the SPLC thinks being a Border Patrol Agent is a crime as does Johnny Sutton and our Justice Department.

Never mind that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals DERIDED Johnny Sutton for overzealous prosecution of these two agents just about two weeks ago. Apparently the SPLC didn’t get that little tidbit of news. Oh and.. apparently the SPLC doesn’t realize that the prosecution’s STAR WITNESS, Aldrete-Davila, is now sitting in prison awaiting charges of yet MORE DRUG SMUGGLING. The prosecution does not now have a credible witness upon which to base the entire WITCH HUNT case against these two Border Patrol agents. So guess what SPLC, they will probably have to THROW THE APPEAL OUT because the other evidence used to convict these agents is WEAK unless they have the lying scumbag DRUG DEALER to say what they want him to say.

The Southern Poverty Law Center and their supposed “Hate Watch” crap disgusts me completely. What a bunch of hypocrites! You will notice that the ONLY groups on their “Hate Watch” lists have to do with fighting illegal immigration. They don’t have the Mexica-Movement on that list and there is no more hateful a group than that - they want to erase the Gringo from the United States altogether. But they’re not on their “hate list”. But you know who is? Two sweet ladies who formed a citizen’s group to fight illegal immigration. They are not vigilantes. They are not hateful. They want our immigration laws enforced and for that, they earned a place on the SPLC hate watch list. It is despicable to see how BIASED this group is against PATRIOTIC AMERICANS. To them, Patriotic Americans who want to SAVE THEIR COUNTRY from the ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION are nothing more than “nativists”. Go ahead and try to label us you scumbags. The truth will prevail and your lame propaganda will go NOWHERE but into the ears of your BIASED and RACIST audience.

Nativists Make Heroes of Border Shooters

Border Patrol agents Ignacio “Nacho” Ramos and José Alonso Compean attacked an unarmed border-crosser who was trying to surrender, shot at him 15 times and wounded him as he fled, then tampered with the crime scene and failed to report the shooting as required to their supervisors. For their crimes, a federal court in Texas sentenced the men last year to terms of 11 and 12 years in prison.

Now, courtesy of the nativist movement, they are heroes.

Lou Dobbs, the CNN anchor obsessed with undocumented immigration, has featured their case at least 131 times, including a one-hour special, according to the September issue of Texas Monthly. They’ve been glorified by anti-immigration websites and lionized by politicians like U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.). Even the American Freedom Riders, a nativist biker gang, calls them “persecuted.”

Why are so many associated with the law-and-order right singing the praises of these two felons? Because the man who was shot turned out later to have been part of a marijuana-smuggling operation. Ramos and Compean didn’t know that at the time — the man was on foot and tried to surrender, and the agents only found the drugs in a van after he managed to flee on foot back to Mexico, badly wounded. Dobbs describes the officers as “these two outstanding Border Patrol agents.”

Dobbs, along with many others, thinks they should go free.

Rival Minutemen leaders Chris Simcox and Jim Gilchrist were both at a Sept. 8 fundraiser for Ramos’ family that was hosted by the American Freedom Riders. More than $38,000 was contributed and over 400 people attended to show their “absolute disdain for [President] Bush’s ‘dear friend’ Johnny Satan” — a reference to prosecutor Johnny Sutton, the highly conservative U.S. attorney who had worked for Bush in Texas and Washington. Others, like Dobbs, have also savaged Sutton.

Republican congressmen Dana Rohrabacher (Calif.) and John Culberson (Texas) have even claimed that the agents are suffering prison conditions “far worse than those of suspected terrorists being held” at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba.

What no one has offered is any proof that the two are innocent.

Now, the nativist fervor is expanding to others similarly situated — in particular, Border Patrol agent Nicholas Corbett, who last January shot dead Mexican construction worker Francisco Javier Dominguez-Rivera a few yards north of the border. Corbett claimed he shot in self-defense after being threatened with a rock, but forensic and video evidence, along with accounts of several witnesses detained with Dominguez-Rivera, contradicted him, suggesting instead that the worker was shot without provocation after he was forced to kneel directly in front of Corbett. Corbett faces trial on second-degree murder charges in February.,/p>

Anti-immigration activists claim Corbett is being railroaded due to pressure from Mexico. In October, the American Freedom Riders rallied to support him, describing him as “another agent charged with murder for doing his job.”

Oh and just one more thing. WE ARE NOT ANTI-IMMIGRATION!!!! You can stop repeating that lie now. We are and always have been ENTIRELY against ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION ARE NOT THE SAME THING. We support the LEGAL IMMIGRATION into this country of people who help enhance our country. We do NOT support people who cut in line in front of legal immigrants and who disrespect our laws by sneaking into our country in the dead of night.

Trying to paint us as “xenophobes” or “racists” is totally a lie. This country is nicer to immigrants THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON THIS PLANET. ANNUALLY WE ADMIT CLOSE TO 2 MILLION LEGAL IMMIGRANTS INTO THIS COUNTRY. YOU CAN STOP WITH THE “ANTI-IMMIGRANT” LIE ANY TIME YOU WOULD LIKE TO ACTUALLY REPRESENT THE TRUTH.

I’d also like to include an excellent comment I received on my other blog “Stop the Invasion”, just today which perfectly reflects how we, as Patriotic Americans, share a common bond with LEGAL IMMIGRANTS in wanting to stop illegal immigration:

My parents came to this country legally in the mid-50s. They took the time to learn the language, familiarize themselves with American history, and became very productive members of society through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. When I see another illegal immigrant walking into a welfare office, or showing up to a hospital to birth a child, or any other number of circumstances, where they will simply walk out in the end and WE, the taxpayers, end up footing the bill…I become livid. They then spit in our face by claiming that we should accommodate their culture by learning to speak their language…when they’re nearly all too damn lazy to learn but a few words in ours. I’m fluent in Italian, French, Greek, Latin, and of course, English. I’ve had many opportunities to learn Spanish, and have neglected to do so every time…and for a very important reason: I visit Italy, France, Greece, and many Latin speaking countries fairly frequently with my family. Why in the hell would I ever visit Mexico? I hate tequila, and much prefer beaches that aren’t littered with trash and sketchy Mexicans. I’m also fed up with seeing every other children’s program trying to teach my three-year-old son how to speak Spanish, when he should be learning English. I’ve taken the liberty to teach him some words in Italian, because my family just loves it when he says “Hello” or “Goodbye” in their native tongue. Besides this, his priority should be to learn the language of this country…not the invaders to the south. Something must be done about the immigration problem, or I fear that I’ll one day be forced to leave this country and return to Italy, or elsewhere in Europe…or hell, maybe even Canada. If we can’t rely on our own president to address this serious issue, who can we rely on?
