Anti Immigrants responsible for Hate crimes? Yes or no?


Our anti-immigrant Politics, and many Anchor news dehumanizes the undocumented Immigrant as the “worst enemy" the way our military does during wartime; it lessens the burden of our atrocities on our consciences. This new racism equates "illegal immigrant" with "criminal behavior" and makes bigotry and HATE crime acceptable. For even the most bigoted amongst them like Lou Dobbs presenting false, unworthy, or knowingly tainted news, undermining the existence of journalism and correspondence credibility.

I can understand why people would have a problem with that. I can understand the arguments of people who believe there are more pressing concerns or the economy can't handle more immigrants. I don't agree, but I can understand. What I can't understand is dehumanizing, denigrating, diminished and demonizing undocumented immigrants, who are often taking one of the few opportunities to better themselves in the midst of the despair and ugliness of a world that often seems beyond broken.

Thus contrary to Federal regulations, U.S. Constitution, Civil rights statues and Basic Humanitarian rights in which the United States of America pride its itself and so vehemently upholds, stands for, and preaches around the World: It’s allowing within populist anchor news and organizations to outright violate the mentioned laws, statues, regulations, ethic, and procedural due process under the veil of unjust laws incompassed in the guise of the War on Terrorism in propaganda fashion.

I want to point out a couple of points what Lou Dobbs promoting on his segment Broken Borders and Border Security.

1.-Racism, Anti Immigrant Sentiment: Against a particular race, color, creed of people not only to those now labeled as Aliens/Illegal Immigrants of Mexican descendency, heritage and culture, but to those whom are Mexican American Citizens, Chicanos, or Hispanic Origin.

When Lou Dobbs speak of broken borders, and border security because of a terror threat from Al Qaeda, assimilates and associates two very different issues!! That of predominately Mexican migrant workers to this continent, and those of foreign Muslim Al Qaeda fighters. Thus a migrant people who come to work and live the American Dream and those foreign Immigrants with motives Terrorist.
This misleading, distorting, and twisting of the facts has expressively been sensationalized against the Undocumented worker as an Anti Immigrant sentiment.
This issues have been created a hostile, prejudice, fearful, and aggressive environment for a Hispanic race of people or those with Hispanic surnames in particular Mexican Americans, Chicanos, or just because looks kind a Mexican. See picture.











Lou Dobbs has polarized the Nation by sensationalizing the unjust laws, immigration reform, and blaming every social ill in the U.S. on the Mexican People as tough they are solely responsible.

Lou Dobbs has exploited and bashed the Mexican people for crossing the border. Which in itself is a minor offence? By, But not limited to discriminating, affiliating, associating, and profiling Mexicans, Hispanics, Latino people legal or undocumented with groups or organization of Terrorists implying that Mexicans could bring a Dirty Bomb. This is false and outrageous when the sons and daughters of Mexican descent are spilling their blood in the War WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq, and is in violation of constitutional rights. Thus creating an environment of hostility, anger, depriving freedom from fear of persecution and Liberty

Why are we remained Silent against Hate Crimes?.



Selma Goncalves, 20, was killed January 21, 2009 by an attacker in her Brockton apartment. Another woman was shot and is recovering and a third person, a 72 year old man Arlindo Goncvalves, no relation, was shot and killed by the attacker as he fled the woman's home. The attacker, Keith Luke age 22 of Brockton had set out on a mission of hate killings according to the police. He wanted to kill and many non-whites and jews as possible. According to Luke, his intended target after the murder of Goncalves was a synagogue in Brockton that was hosting a weekly Bingo game that draws hundreds. Luke was captured after a wild chase and shootout over three miles in the city of 90,000. Selma Gonsalves had come to Brockton a year ago from her native Cape Verde. Luke face multiple charges of murder and other charges.

History of Mormons in California.



This is from the video "More Precious Than Gold." The Mormon Battalion was the only religious "unit" in American military history serving from July 1846 to July 1847 during the Mexican-American War. They provided funds from their salaries and allowances to assist the Mormon exodus west, such as part of their clothing allowances they provided to Brigham Young to help finance the Latter-day Saint's move to the Salt Lake Valley.
The battalion was a volunteer unit of 500 soldiers, nearly all Mormon men with regular army officers in command and key staff positions along with Mormon company officers. The battalion made a grueling march from Council Bluffs, Iowa to San Diego, California. The Mormon Battalion were mostly members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who were fleeing religious persecution in Nauvoo, Illinois. The battalion's march and service was instrumental in helping secure new lands in several Western states, especially the Gadsden Purchase of 1853 of much of southern Arizona. The march also opened a southern wagon route to California. Veterans of the battalion played significant roles in America's westward expansion in California, Utah, Arizona and other parts of the West.
President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Brigham Young, sent Elder Jesse C. Little to Washington, D.C. to seek assistance from the federal government for the Mormon trek west. After several interviews with President James Polk in early June 1846, the offer to enlist some 500 men after the Mormons arrived in California was accepted. Yet, orders through military channels were misread and an army officer went to the Mormon camps in Iowa to enlist men into a battalion consisting of all Mormons.
The battalion was mustered into volunteer service on July 16, 1846 by Captain James Allen of the famous 1st U.S. Dragoons. Dispatched by Colonel (later Brigadier General) Stephen Kearny, Allen met no success in recruiting until Brigham Young and other members of the Twelve gave public approval. Eventually some 500 men volunteered into this unique "federal" unit, which was not structured as a more typical militia or state volunteer organization. Several large families, some soldier's wives and a number of teen age boys accompanied the battalion, making it appear more as a pioneer party than a military force. The Mormon Battalion would be part of the Army of the West under General Kearny, a tough and seasoned veteran, that would have two regiments of Missouri volunteers, a regiment of New York volunteers who would travel by ships to California, artillery and infantry battalions, Kearny's own 1st US Dragoons, and the battalion of Mormons.
The Mormon Battalion arrived in San Diego, California on January 29, 1847 after a march of some 1,900 miles from Iowa. For the next five months until their discharge on July 16, 1847 in Los Angeles, the battalion trained and also performed occupation duties in several locations in southern California. The most significant service the battalion provided in California and during the war, was as a reliable unit under Cooke that General Kearny could rely on to block Fremont's mutinous bid to control California. The construction of Fort Moore was one measure Cooke employed to protect legitimate military and civil control under Kearny. Some 22 Mormon men died from disease or other natural causes during their service. About 80 of the men re-enlisted for another six months of service.
A few of the men escorted John C. Fremont back east for his court-martial.
A few discharged veterans worked in the Sacramento area for James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill. Henry Bigler recorded the actual date, January 24, 1848, in his diary (now on display at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA) when gold was discovered. This gold find started the California Gold Rush the next year.

Border Patrol at Church? They weren't there for Mass.


A churchgoer says he and several others will not be going back to pray, because of who might show up. Raul Atkinson did not want to appear on camera, but agreed to talk with us about why he’s afraid to go to church.

He says he has faith and always makes time to pray. But Atkinson says he never thought he’d skip out on a service until some Border Patrol agents showed up.

Atkinson claims they weren’t there for mass. Instead, they were looking for information.

“We didn’t know what was going on. They just walked into our church asking for papers and IDs. And the ones that didn’t have any, they were picked up,” says Atkinson.

Atkinson tells us he watched as agents took a woman and children into custody. He says at first, he thought it was some sort of raid.

Atkinson says they were picked up during their prayer. He says no one was given a heads up and that Border Patrol agents walked right through the door and started asking for documents.

Border Patrol Agent John Lopez says no record of any arrests inside the Apostolic Assembly exists.

“As for as places that are worship centers, we will not - by policy, we will not enter these places, unless it’s absolutely necessary,” Lopez explains.

Atkinson says he’s been keeping in touch with the pastor. He hopes to be back in church soon so he can attend mass in peace without any interruptions or fear.

Since Border Patrol agents told us they did not go into the church, we checked with ICE officials. They also said there was no record of agents going into the church.

The question is how are all these haters succeeding in the face of hate crime legislation?. High Alert! Some “hate groups,” they warn, are changing their approach and attempting to use Latinos, Hispanics people as vehicles for their purposes. Ashamed and Outrageous this type of crimes still happen in United States of America.!!!!!!

Colombian immigrant Wilter Sanchez, 33, was brutally attacked in Wednesday afternoon by a gang of hate-filled thugs in the town of North Plainfield, New Jersey.

Doctors at the Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick say that Sanchez is lucky to be alive given his injuries. They are set to perform reconstructive surgery on Sanchez' face as soon as the swelling eases.

Five African American men between the ages of 17 and 19 young years of age were arrested for the hate crime. Continue Reading here: Source:

Stop Immigration Raids.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Several hundred immigrant supporters and religious leaders from across the country marched to the Southwest Washington headquarters of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency yesterday, strumming guitars, beating drums and waving colorful homemade banners exhorting President Obama to halt immigration raids and promote legislation offering illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
Although the demonstration featured many speeches in Spanish and cries of "Sí se puede!" -- Yes we can! -- the crowd was also notable for its diversity. Suely Neves, 26, of the Boston group Deported Diaspora had come on behalf of her fellow Cape Verde immigrants. Standing next to her, Indian American immigrant Dimple Rana, 28, said she was concerned about the fate of the Cambodian refugees she works with in Lowell, Mass.
"I've seen a lot of good friends deported because of minor prior convictions," Rana said as groups waving banners from Florida and New Orleans chanted behind her.
Many of the demonstrators had come to town to celebrate Obama's inauguration, and the mostly religious representatives who addressed the crowd portrayed the event as a chance to spiritually "cleanse" the agency of the Bush administration's stepped-up enforcement approach. At the same time, they urged Obama to make good on his campaign promise to push through a legalization plan similar to one that former president George W. Bush twice tried unsuccessfully to get through Congress.


Margarito Esquino, an activist for indigenous rights in El Salvador, lit incense and waved condor feathers toward the sky, shouting in Spanish, "O Great Spirit, we ask you to get rid of all the badness in this building and bring in the good!"
Rabbi David Schneyer, of the Am Kolel Sanctuary and Renewal Center in Beallsville, blew on a shofar, a ram's horn traditionally sounded for the Jewish new year.
The Rev. Frederick Hancock of Gethsemane United Methodist Church in Capitol Heights performed a libation ceremony meant to evoke African ancestral rituals, pouring grape juice -- symbolizing wine -- onto the roots of a potted plant as he called for strength from civil rights icons such as Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez
.
Many participants said they believe Obama's first priority must be to right the economy, even if that means delaying an overhaul of immigration law for months and even years. But they are also eager for the administration to declare an immediate moratorium on deportations and immigration raids.
Antonio Bernabe, an organizer with the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles and one of several immigrant activists who met with Obama's transition team in recent weeks, said he was very optimistic based on its response. Still, he said, demonstrations remain necessary.
"The anti-immigrant groups are already moving, and we have to assure Obama that . . . [the raids] are not acceptable," he said.

A Prayer for my Mother.



Dear God,

Today I just received a phone call from my sister In-Law with not a good news; My mother is 86 years old and now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.

Dear God,

I turn to you to give you thanks for my mother who is still alive. With your own gift of life, she bore me in her womb and gave me life. She tenderly, patiently cared for me and taught me to walk and talk. She read to me and made me laugh. No one delighted in my successes more; no one could comfort me better in my failures. I am so grateful for how she mothered me and mentored me, and even disciplined me. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older, I realize what an beautiful and pleasant person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen. How does a Son begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? Today, she needs me more than anything and I unable to assist her the same way she cares for me but Dear God you know me and know my heart, my soul, my feelings that I care even for my enemies. Dear God; Today I pray for a miracle for my mother (Candida), please touch her, and cause this problem to right itself, bring healing and deliverance, and touch her with your peace that passes understanding. Help her to hold onto her faith, as you work in her life. We give you praise ahead of time, for what you are willing to do. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Religious Coalition for Human Justice.


There were only a handful of Hispanic faces in the crowd Tuesday, as Muslims, Jews, Catholics and Protestants stood shoulder-to-shoulder to call for acceptance of immigrants, both Undocumented and legal.

The approximately 30 religious leaders and supporters added their voices to a rising chorus of North Carolina residents -- many of them from outside traditional Hispanic advocacy circles -- who are countering the call for a crackdown on Undocumented immigrants. The newly minted advocates say that the only solution to the problem of Undocumented immigration is federal reform.

"As a community, as a state, as a nation, as a world, we have done wrong," Rabbi Eric Solomon, of Beth Meyer Synagogue in Raleigh, said of the recent treatment of immigrants. "All human beings are made in God's image."

The announcement of a new N.C. Religious Coalition for Justice for Immigrants this week was one of a string of recent pro-immigrant events.

Undergraduates from college campuses across the state have joined to fight a decision to bar Undocumented immigrants from community colleges. A citizens group was formed in Alamance County to protest enforcement efforts in their county. And in Eastern North Carolina, a meeting will convene next week to oppose Beaufort County's efforts to eliminate public programs that serve Undocumented immigrants. Last month, advocates in Johnston County held a rally to protest derogatory comments about Hispanics made by the local sheriff.

The state chapters of the NAACP and American Civil Liberties Union have also taken strong stands against anti-immigrant rhetoric.

"People really feel that it's now or never," said Rebecca Headen, racial justice coordinator of the ACLU. "They have to step out of the shadows."

Many were once leery of jumping into a heated topic that could alienate them from their neighbors and open them to attacks from opposing groups. But some say they now feel compelled to get involved, regardless of the backlash they might face.

For the Rev. Richard McBride, a chaplain at Elon University, his call to action was the immigration arrest of a well-liked Alamance County library employee who was brought to the United States as a child. McBride is now part of a group that attends county commissioner meetings to protest Alamance's treatment of immigrants.

"It was the recognition that she had no good options," McBride said. "She was a child. She grew up here. This is the only country she knows. What does she do? I think we have a whole generation of young men and women in this bind."

Collateral damage

Alamance County Commissioner Tim Sutton, who has helped lead the charge for an immigration crackdown, said he considers it his responsibility to tackle a problem that he believes is hurting his county's budget but not provide it a support documentation from his believes. He said Undocumented immigrants commit crimes and burden public services, but he said he still has strong support for his initiatives.

He calls the Undocumented immigrants whose lives are disrupted by enforcement efforts "collateral damage."

"I've laid in bed many a night and prayed that what I was doing was not a sin," Sutton said Tuesday. "But we have to do what we have to do. It's like going to war. Sometimes people are killed."

In May, the N.C. Community College System took the most restrictive stance in the nation by refusing to admit Undocumented immigrants, even at out-of-state tuition rates.

In June, an Alamance County sheriff's deputy arrested a mother during a traffic stop, and her three children were left alone beside the interstate for several hours in the middle of the night.

Ronald Bilbao, a junior majoring in political science at UNC-Chapel Hill, is the head of the newly formed Coalition for College Access. As a mentor to an undocumented high school student who wants to attend college, he said the closing of the community colleges this year was a huge blow.

Bilbao is now helping mobilize students across the UNC System to advocate for re-opening the community colleges, which had been many Undocumented immigrants' only route to higher education.

"The people who are put down are the people who really can't stand up for themselves," said Bilbao, a U.S. citizen whose parents are Undocumented immigrants from Venezuela. "A lot of us who can stand up are now standing up. We're trying to show people that it's not just a Latino issue, that it's really about human rights."

Cause My Jesus.



If Ephesians says to Imitate Christ.
Why do you look so much like the World? Cause Jesus
He spent his time with thieves and Liars
He loved the poor and accosted the Arrogant
So which one do you want to be?

The Voice of Hope.



I beautiful workship video where it's a blessing for me and for all of us. There is still a Hope.
When Jesus spoke again to the people he said:

" I am the light of the World,
whoever follows me will never be in darkness,
But will have to have the light of Life".
John 8:12

My God bless America and the World.

Why some Immigration systems are Inhumane?


Two Zimbabwean pastors were deported last Friday after they were declared Prohibited Immigrants by the government.

Chris Chissana of Christ Embassy and Edmore Chaka of the Abundant Life Ministries were repatriated together with University of Botswana media studies lecturer Ceasar Zvayi (see separate story on Zvayi). Christ Embassy has been Botswana fastest growing Pentecostal Church. Spotting a maroon suit and s-curl hairstyle, the stylish Chissana looked shocked on Friday as he was being loaded in a police van. His voice was shaking as he said:

"I do not know what is happening. I cannot even explain it myself. What do you do when you are just picked up from your house... it happened so fast, I do not even know what I have done, I had no chance to explain anything," he said just before he boarded the van. Sympathetic members of Chissana's church, who waited for him at the Moonlight Lodge where the state agents had gone to collect Zvayi's belongings, gave him P200 to buy drinks along the way. The Monitor understands that Chissana is married to a Motswana with whom he has children.

Chissana's Christ Embassy Church has become one Gaborone's busiest spot, attracting people from all walks of life. Popular gospel musicians such as Mathews Matsetse, Ernest Seakgosing and to club DJs like DJ Bax have been there. The church attracts a multi-racial crowd, especially Nigerians.

In Gaborone, the Block 8 branch of the church commands a following of over 1,500 people, while the BBS branch has about 600 people. In a less than five years, the church has established more than 15 branches all over the country. Attempts to talk to the church elders in Gaborone after the deportation of their head were unsuccessful on Saturday. First an elder called Mark, said he would grant an interview after 4pm, as the church elders and the pastor's wife, must meet first. "By 4pm, we will have met and discussed the issue, as you know it happened so suddenly, only yesterday (Friday), so people are still in shock. I also don't want to be quoted saying anything about the matter until we have adopted a stand," he said. He never gave an interview and after 4pm, a different pastor called Ade came and promised to grant an interview later. He did not keep the promise despite several attempts to reach him. The Monitor has since established that the multitudes that gathered for Saturday service at the Block 8 branch were not informed about their pastor's deportation. They were encouraged to be strong in faith, according to a devout member who attended the service.

Christ Embassy in Botswana has been on the spotlight for a while. The Director of Civil and National Registration, Mabuse Pule, has in the past made it clear they are investigating the church. He said the church is not registered. Its application to register as a church was turned down in 2005 because it did not meet certain requirements.

Botswana has registered 923 churches since 1973. However the mushrooming of churches, especially by foreign nationals, has been a cause for concern for politicians.

Christ Embassy was started by controversial Nigerian preacher and healer Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. The pastor has been accused by a member of the church in South Africa of staging miracle-healing sessions.

South African newspaper, Sowetan has reported that he has been hiring people to pretend to be sick and disabled. The pretenders are then 'healed' during his television shows and public prayer meetings.

Meanwhile, on the day of the deportation, the thin looking Chaka of the Abundant Life Ministries wore a red shirt. He has been in the news for sometime, especially after he told his followers taking ARV drugs to discontinue and surrender them to him.

Nations are out of humane touch. France wants Immigrants entering by professional reasons but not for Humanitarian or searching for a better life.


Apparently they forgot the Freedom, Democracy and rights for Individuals. I am hoping that France remembered the legacy of FREDERIC AUGUSTE BARTHOLDI.

PARIS – France's first immigration minister claimed success Thursday for his no-nonsense policy on illegal immigration, saying the number of expulsions increased 80 percent this year while the number of people living illegally went down.

Brice Hortefeux said he expected the Europe Union to follow France's example and adopt an immigration pact to coordinate policies when France assumes the rotating presidency July 1. He said the pact would include an accord among the 27-member body not to undertake a mass legalization of migrants.

On Wednesday, the EU parliament adopted new rules for expelling illegal immigrants. However, the measures do not address issues like asylum, prevention or tackling problems at the source – all encompassed in the French pact.
Hortefeux, among the most controversial members of the government, insisted that Europe largely shares French concerns over illegal immigration
.

France seeks to choose its immigrants with an emphasis on those with skills and visas enabling them to work. Their ranks were up by 36.7 percent over the past year, Hortefeux said at a news conference marking his first year on the job. France wants half of its immigrants to be entering for professional reasons by 2012.

He said France expelled 80 percent more illegal immigrants in the first five months of 2008, compared with the same period last year. From June 2007 to May 2008 it expelled 29,729 illegal aliens.

The number of voluntary departures was up 374 percent over the past year, and 38 percent so far in 2008, Hortefeux said, suggesting that immigrants living in France without papers “now understand our rules.”

“France is managing to calmly master this migratory flux,” he said.

Overall, he estimated there are 8 percent fewer illegal aliens in France today than before he took office. Officials say there are 200,000 to 400,000 people living in France illegally.

Hortefeux was optimistic about the EU's adoption of a French-proposed immigration pact, saying it could happen as early as October – halfway into the French presidency.

Hortefeux's ministry also aims to preserve the French national identity and to attack the migratory flux in countries that are the source of illegal immigration. France has signed development pacts with five African countries this year – Tunisia, Senegal, Benin, Gabon and the Republic of Congo.

Air Force sued for Religious Intolerance.


A New Mexico man sued the Air Force on Thursday, claiming Air Force Academy senior officers and cadets illegally imposed Christianity on others at the school.

The suit was filed in federal court by Mikey Weinstein, an academy graduate and outspoken critic of the school's handling of religion.

Weinstein claims that evangelical Christians at the school have coerced attendance at religious services and prayers at official events, among other things.

There have been complaints at the academy that a Jewish cadet was told the Holocaust was revenge for the death of Jesus and that another Jew was called a Christ killer by a fellow cadet. A banner in the football team's locker room read: "I am a Christian first and last ... I am a member of Team Jesus Christ."
