4-10-2009 @10:36 PM ~ Gracias Hermano Ron ~ I am glad you are down there to help represent us along with the other companeros and companeras. I regret not being able to make it down there in the flesh but I will be there in spirit. I have my own refugees to help out at the Emergency Shelter I work at up here in Sacramento. I consider all Americans who are homeless in the streets also refugees and we have some from other countries. An elderly feisty Russian who is disabled wandering the streets with a cane, a lost Ukrainian young girl left outside to fend for herself around these predators that haunts the streets around here now. Imagine a hard working brother from Mexico who has been here for years but lost his job, became homeless and now he is at the shelter. Yes, YA BASTA! Enough is enough!

We should demand out loud complete amnesty for those who are in jeopardy of beind labeled an illegal alient and deported. There should be an immediate moratorium on all immigration cases involving Mexicans who are under ICE until this whole issue is settled once and for all. Yes, we are in a unique situation somewhat similiar to the Palestinian people. Our people did not create or cross the border, the border crossed us and the U.S.A. continues to double-cross us.

The truth is that the Obama regime, as much as I support Obama in general and respect him as a humane being, does not have a concrete clue as to what to do about 'the immigration issue' nor are they bold enough to come up and out with a strong solution to the whole dilemna. We should demand a GENERAL AMNESTY!!!!!

At the same time, we should closely observe our non-Latino allies in the progressive movement inside the United States who say they are with us, who say SI SE PUEDE! and keep them in tight solidarity with us on this central core American issue.

This whole 'immigration issue' will make or break families, alliances and coalitions in ways no one can completely foresee!

How can a people whose descendants have been here for many millenniums of thousands of year, for as long as anyone can remember, from before recorded history possibly ever be considered a foreigner!!! It is insane and the government has long been insane on the whole immigration issue and the Mexican people.

This is why we MUST continue the pressure on President Obama to push forward. We know that for political reasons, he will try to pass some weak "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" like the one that Representative Luis V. Gutierrez from Chicago is trying to push. This is when the grassroots coalitions must unite together and send a powerful message to DC; "STOP ALL ICE RAIDS and FULL LEGALIZATION NOW" This is going to be discussed this weekend at the Southern California Immigration Coalition's Immigration UNITY Conference. Over 50 speakers from across California are already confirmed; including elected officials like Senator Gil Cedillo, Community organizers from organizations like Hermandad Mexicana, Union Del Barrio, authors like David Bacon, university professors like Raul Hinojosa and Gilbert Gonzales, leaders like Angela Sanbrano from NALACC, Christian Ramirez from the American Friends Service Committee and Pablo Alvarado from NDLON, attorneys like Peter Schey and the list goes on and on... Together, we can pressure President Obama to do what's right! The Southern CA Immigration Coalition has THREE Central Demands. 1. Stop ALL ICE Raids NOW! 2. FULL LEGALIZATION for ALL! 3. No Bracero/Guest Worker Program! See you at the conference this Saturday!! www.immigrationcoal ition.org Ron Gochez Social Justice Educator/Community Organizer Union Del Barrio Southern California Immigration Coalition

Obama to Push Immigration Bill Despite the Risks

By JULIA PRESTON

While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Obama plans to begin addressing the country's immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal, a senior administration official said on Wednesday......
