I just got off the phone with a fellow conservative activist
from Texas.
Even in the deep red Lone Star state, secure border
advocates can feel lonely. The state legislature had two stunning opportunities
to secure the border and strip sanctuary cities (for illegals, not citizens) of
their funding, but the legislation went nowhere.
The same hesitation had erupted in Wisconsin last year, when
the state senate flirted with a bill to punish detestable sanctuary cities. Governor
Scott Walker, who had beaten down Big Labor in his own backyard, would not
advocate for the bill.
Of course, in California, illegal immigration is welcomed
with open arms and taxpayer dollars. The state legislature wanted to open up a
“New Americans” office for the illegal alien hordes streaming in. A few
Republicans in league with the Democratic majority of even expanded health
insurance to illegal aliens.
The same holds true for other states, like Delaware,
Illinois, and Washington State, where public benefits flow into illegals' pockets
from our own.
Why have Republicans caved or fled from this fight? What
gives? Why has it become so difficult to stand up to illegal immigration and
stop open borders?
Some sources credit the Big Business donor class that craves
cheap labor as well as corporate welfare. Granted, that is a generous and
accurate answer. I will also submit, however, that the political correctness
silencing average Americans has infiltrated upwards.
There is some good news in the midst of the bad, though.
US Senators like Charles Grassley of Iowa along with Ron
Johnson of Wisconsin have not been afraid to stand up to illegal immigration,
particularly its disastrously negative consequences on ours citizens and
communities. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania has been pushing legislation to end
federal funding to sanctuary cities, too, and overtly resisted taking in
refugees of dubious status into our country.
(Let’s hope they win re-election in November).
Grassley’s effective response has been particularly
encouraging.
To recap:
On June 13th, 2016, five American citizens were burned alive in
an abandoned warehouse in the Westlake section of Los Angeles. Grassley took immediate action to investigate
this perverse tragedy, in part because four of the victims were from Iowa. The
one Angeleno, DeAndre “JokerFace” Mitchell, ran into the fire to try and save
them. While the Americans all died, illegal alien Johnny Josue Sanchez of
Honduras survived. He awaits the death penalty if convicted. These
unconscionable losses of life cannot continue, and the cowardice to avoid doing
something about it cannot go unchallenged.
I came face-to-face with the horrid consequences of illegal
immigration when I visited that abandoned warehouse in June. I still remember
the smell of charred rubble and the inexplicable sorrow of DeAndre Mitchell’s
wife. Later, I would confront the vicious nature of the hatemongers pushing
this officious, evil policy of open orders and unfettered migration on two more
occasions. La Raza affiliates (most likely funded by socialist billionaire
George Soros) paraded in front of the Adelanto Detention
Center demanding its closure.
Then these protesters assaulted a private meeting
of Republicans with Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Instead of being intimidated by their abuse, I exposed their
hatred, first at my local
city council meeting, and then with news sources throughout the Los Angeles
region. These La Raza haters understand “Rules for Radicals”, how shame is
extremely powerful, and the fear of a threat is actually greater than the
threat itself. But I’ve read their book, as have fellow conservative activists
of our team We the People Rising, and we are standing our ground.
October
20th, 2016, the Beach Cities Republicans would welcome Latinos Por Trump founder Marco
Gutierrez, along with three other prominent Pro-Trump Latinos. Within days,
another Facebook Event page signaled that La Raza would swarm the area and “Shut Down” our
event.
Instead of canceling the meeting or moving to a secret
location, our team contacted the Torrance Police and worked with the restaurant
owner to ensure full safety and protection. For some Republican leaders in my
area, though, that was not enough. One of the local Republican leaders implored
me to cancel the meeting. “The very meeting itself is the problem.” I refused.
I finally realized another reason why so many conservatives
don’t take a firm stance: absolute panic. Fear for the worst. Such internal
terror cannot be reasoned with. Conservatives must stop running because they
fear the potential consequences of bad men doing bad things. Edmund Burke’s
ominous warning lives on and leaves a telling caution: “For evil men to
protest, good men must do nothing.”
I refuse to do nothing, and more of us are standing up and
doing the same.
La Raza invited 800 people to disrupt the meeting. Only 26
responded to the call to protest.
How many actually showed up? ONE!
You can see his picture at the top, but also noticed a Trump
sign right behind him. Another pro-Trump demonstrator showed up and took the
limelight away from the La Raza activist (his name is Ernesto Ayala. Why not
tell him how ineffective he was? Visit his Facebook page
here)
The Beach Cities Republicans meeting went off without a
hitch.
Omar Navarro, who is running against Congresswoman Maxine
Waters (D-Torrance) started the event. Then Francisco Rivera of Huntington
Park, followed by Raul Rodriguez, the California coordinator for America First
Latinos.
Then came Marco Gutierrez, who stirred some controversy with
his “Taco Trucks on Every Corner.” Truly, though, a culture where the rule of
law is abandoned, where private businesses cannot profit because of corruption
and regulatory burdens will resort to a street-ware cash only economy, one
where few thrive and many barely survive. His personal story as well as
political vision inspired many.
The most stirring outcome from this, though, was the
vindication of knowing that our team refused to be bullied. We celebrate our
candidate, and we exercise our freedoms.
As for La Raza, they could only muster one lonely SJW … Boo
Hoo!
Lesson learned: resist the La Raza bullies, and they will
flee!
