At the December 20, 2016 surprise Rialto City Council meeting, We the People Rising surprised Councilman Rafael Trujillo, who was conspiring with open border advocates and illegal aliens to turn Rialto into a sanctuary city.
What ensued was beyond hilarious.
Here's a few clips of what we did to that corrupt and arrogant councilman:
Here's Rafe on the run!
Here were my comments at the Rialto City Council Meeting on January 13, 2017:
There was another councilmember, however, who was plotting with Trujillo to turn Rialto and entire San Bernardino County into sanctuary territory for illegal aliens:
Here's my video:
She actually claimed that she did not know what a sanctuary city is. But of course she does--she was working with Rialto city councilman Rafael Trujillo to turn cities into lawlessness zones to protect illegal aliens and undermine the rule of law.
Here is another video from We the People Rising:
This woman was arrogant and disgraceful. She even laughed in Agnes Gibboney's face when she was talking about the death of her son Ronald De Silva at the hand of an illegal alien.
Check out what We the People Rising accomplished at the latest Victoville City Council meeting:
Pro Illegal Victorville Council Member Blanca Gomez Packs Meeting With Supporters 3/21/17 Victorville City Council Meeting: Victorville, CA Report by Robin Hvidston
VIDEO It was a raucous meeting as Council Member Blanca Gomez had recruited her supporters (including a homeless man who appeared confused) to pack the meeting. They SHUT DOWN the meeting butCITIZENS STOOD UP!
THE CITY COUNCIL MOTION TO STUDY A POSSIBLE CENSURE ACTION PROCESS IN REGARD TO VICTORVILLE COUNCIL MEMBER BLANCA GOMEZPASSED4 TO 1 Pro-Sanctuary-City Council Member Blanca Gomez recruited her "La Raza" support group, 4 ACLU members to speak out on her behalf and a Spanish media La Opinion reporter Alejandro Cano to cover the issue of the Victorville City Council seeking to pass a motion to take action on a possible censure process against Council Member Blanca Gomez. The motion did pass on a 4 to 1 vote. http://laopinion.com/autor/alejandro-cano/
Displaying signs at the Victorville City Council meeting.
Victorville Council Member Blanca Gomez (who wore her city pin to the Rialto City Hall first Sanctuary City Committee meeting on 1/30/16) has been continually filibustering her agenda and exhibiting disruptive behavior that violates the Brown Act at the Victorville City Council meetings. Therefore, at the 3/21/17 city council meeting, a motion was proposed that a possible censure action process go forward in regard to Council Member Blanca Gomez.
Victorville Council Member Blanca Gomez had staged her supporters and ACLU members who disrupted the meeting just before the vote on the motion was to go forward. The meeting was called into recess. After the council recess, the vote to study the censure process for Council Member Blanca Gomez passed on a 4 to 1 vote.
Council Member Blanca Gomez's supporters scrawled signs on the backs of the Victorville City Council agenda, which they then displayed. The above supporter misspelled a word on her sign, which reads: "Blanca Gomez has ARE Support."
Those who oppose Council Member Blanca Gomez displayed printed signs.
Council Member Blanca Gomez spoke out of turn throughout the meeting. At one point, she stormed off the dais and went to aid one of her ACLU members who was arguing with the city clerk.
Council Member Blanca Gomez is demanding that Victorville provide Spanish interpreters at the council meetings. At the end of the meeting, she was the final council member speaker. After she had railed against the city council members and her opposition in the audience, she began to speak exclusively in Spanish.
Attend the next Victorville City Council meeting on Tuesday, April 4th at 6pm.
“…Catholic Charities gets billions of taxpayer dollars for refugee resettlement and general immigration services, which puts it into the category of a smallish government agency. For example, in 2010, 62 percent of Catholic Charities’ budget was funded by the unwilling taxpayer. The feds and the Catholic bishops are partners.”
The reporter added some intriguing details and comments from the ACLU about Nolasco's comments:
An official for the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern
California mocked elderly white people at a city council meeting last week,
telling them they had “five years left.”
Rialto, California, held a regularly scheduled city council meeting
last Tuesday after a city councilman apologized for planning an event to
discuss the possibility of Rialto becoming a “sanctuary city.”
Luis Nolasco, a community engagement and policy advocate for the ACLU
of Southern California, stood up to speak at the city council meeting and
attacked many of the white people present, saying they are not actual residents
of Rialto.
This report was really gratifying. It's good to know that these race-baiting Millennials are not getting away with their arrogant and snide remarks.
The ACLU had to disavow Nolasco's remarks:
The ACLU of Southern California told The Daily Caller
Tuesday that Nolasco’s comments were not consistent with the ACLU’s stated
policy but they support his right to freely express his opinion.
This is how Californians, American citizens start punching back twice as hard.
These aggressive, progressive pro-amnesty activists need to be put to shame. Their attacks on people just because of the color of their skin is beyond intolerable.
David Phillips of Rialto now not only criticized Nolasco, but pointed out the racist double-standard:
""I want to apologize for the young man who is sorry that there are white people here."
My name is Arthur Schaper, and I am a member of We the
People Rising.
I live in Torrance, California, but I am aware that one of
your city council members was attempt to enact a sanctuary city policy, a
violation of federal law, which affects me and every citizen who lives in the
United States of America.
City Councilman Rafael Trujillo organized this meeting in
private but on public property. I was expecting to speak with him about why its
wrong to enact such an immoral plot. Yet as soon as I an fellow citizens
arrived on the scene, he started claiming that he was just going to listen to
constituents. He was trying to hold a private meeting on public policy in a
public facility all paid for by taxpayer dollars.
That is criminal.
Now, here is what I was going to share with the Councilman
on Friday December 30th, which I will share with you today.
I will speak about young Ruben Morfin.
He was a young boy, only 13 years old, who lived in Salinas,
California. On his way home from school, walking to his grandmother’s house, an
illegal alien gang member confronted him. When the illegal alien asked him
where he was from, he said “I am an American.”
Then the illegal shot him in the back of the head—execution
style. The doctor at the hospital told his mother Angie that half of her little
boy’s brain was missing. Then Ruben passed away. To this day, Angie lives a life sentence,
because her little boy is dead, and even though the murderer was captured and
sentenced.
Every year on Ruben’s birthday, she has to remember that her
son was murdered. Every Christmas, Ruben is not there. Ruben would not have
died if our nation’s immigration laws had been enforced It will never be a
crime for anyone in this country to say who they are. I am an American, and
this country is for American citizens, and for immigrants, men and women who
come here legally.
Because of sanctuary city policies which have allowed
illegal aliens to roam our country without fear of law enforcement, there have
been unnecessary deaths, more senseless murders.
Instead of enforcing the law in his city and this state,
Councilman Trujillo made excuses, ran away from me and others, and then fled
from city hall. He even attempted to scare away law-abiding citizens by calling
the police including the police chief.
We will not tolerate the disregard for the rule of law in
our country, and in our state.
Councilman Trujillo, I have a question for you: “Since you
support illegal immigration, since you support sanctuary cities for illegal
aliens instead of citizens, what would you like to tell Angie Morfin, or
Ruben’s aunt Lupe, who will never see her nephew again? That little boy is dead
because of lawlessness which you support.
Mr. Trujillo what would you like to tell the parents of
Marcello Bisarello? Are you saying that the lives of these two murdered
Americans mean nothing?
To the Rialto City Council, I urge a motion of censure
against Trujillo. To the residents of Rialto, I ask you to consider a recall
effort against this corrupt “undocumented politician.”
As for your Mr. Trujillo, now that you can’t run away from
you – I demand your resignation.
Rafael Trujillo ran away from his constituents and from United States Citizens.
But that was not all. We witnessed how corrupt the local media have become, pushing the whole "poor undocumented immigrant" mantra, as though this country should abandon the rule of law to placate illegals who broke the law to enter our country.
Later on, a reporter who claimed to be from the Fontana Herald name Alejandro Cano, arrived.
Now, why was he coming to the Rialto City Hall? It's Friday. New Year's Day is just around the corner. We pressed him for answers, but we put all the pieces together. Trujillo was hoping for a nice puff piece in the local paper to make him look good as he advanced his depraved sanctuary city agenda! In effect, WTPR thwarted two corrupt events.
And we let this "journalist" have it!
He made excuses, then mocked us, claiming that we already knew why he was there (true, we did). Still, we insisted on his telling us what is going on.
He danced around the issue, then tried to walk away.
I refused to let him go away without a serious interrogation.
Who doens't love going after the arrogant, biased media frauds?!
And there's more about this corrupto!
Here are his Facebook profile photos:
Check out this part of his Facebook page.
Notice that he lists himself as a "former reporter" at Fontana Herald News. He used to work for "La Opinion" too? Wow, this guy seems to have a hard time holding down a job, or the liberal media is hitting its final death throes.
From the moment that We the People Rising had confronted him, he was lying to us! He didn't work for the Fontana Herald!
Earlier in the day, he announced to the public that Rialto was going to become a sanctuary city ... how did he know that, when the city councilman Trujillo had claimed that he wanted only to meet with constituents??
Then he wrote this hateful post shaming us because we turned the tables on him and exposed his corrupt bias:
Notice he plays the race card, when not once did anyone mention his skin color, race, ethnic background, etc. His ploy is the last vestiges of the regressive left. They routinely play the race card, hoping that this empty smear will silence their opponents.
Guess what? It's not working! They are the ones being racist, since they insist on making concerns about illegal immigration focus on ... race. It has nothing to do with skin color, but everything to do with legal status and the rule of law.
Then watch him play the race card!
That "minuteman" is Raul Rodriguez, an American of Mexican descent:
Let's see Cano play the race card now!
Of course, the Anti-Trump hate is palatable, and here's a post to prove it:
"Carving Trumpkins ..." Does this Alejandro Cano want to hurt Trump supporters or something?
And of course, for further proof of the anti-Trum hate, consider the extended, hateful, misleading rant below, which Cano shared from someone else's Facebook wall:
It should serve as no surprise, then, that millions of average Americans have had a dithering view of immigration over the last decade. The media has been dedicated to pushing the amnesty lobby, portraying the illegal aliens as the consummate victims, while law-abiding citizens, born and naturalized, appear farcical or heartless for opposing illegal immigration and demanding enforcement of our laws.
It's time for the stories of American families to be heard, the families who have lost loved ones to illegal aliens. Men and women have lost jobs to illegal immigration, and the quality of life in cities throughout the United States and particularly in California has fallen fast. The rule of law matters, and the need for proper reporting from a faithful, robust, independent press is essential.
Unfortunately, for the past fifty years, the media has colluded with government officials, selectively exposing corruption and negative consequences to hurt conservatives, but ignoring the inevitable litany of failures and tragedies which following progressive, leftist agendas.
Not only did We the People Rising stop this immoral sanctuary city policy, but we also exposed and humiliated the corrupt, complicit, and compliant local media!
I received the following message from a resident in the Inland Empire two days ago:
If you want to come by and listen........... You are invited
to the first meeting of the Rialto Sanctuary City Committee Meeting Friday,
December 30th, 10:00am at City Hall, 150 S. Palm Ave in Downtown Rialto. This is a small group meeting focused on
Rialto residents who want to help lead us into the work that needs to be
done. There will already be
organizational leaders in attendance like Maribel Nunez, TODEC, and LULAC.
Refreshments will be served.
Rialto wants to be a sanctuary city,
How foolish can these undocumented politicians be? President-elect Donald Trump has signaled that he will shut down sanctuary cities. The corrupt major cities, plus the few Democratic trifecta states in the country have thrown down their gauntlets, so to speak. They will resist federal mandates and not comply with Congressional orders as long as possible. The chief of police for the city of Los Angeles has announced that he will not comply with immigration federal orders.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the California State Legislature want to provide pro bono legal representation for illegal aliens. These reckless, corrupt politicians have lost their minds, or they have become so craven and cowardly that they will do whatever their special interest masters tell them too.
But We the People Rising will not stand for it.
I have never visited the city of Rialto. It has charming elements to it, certainly.
But a subtle veneer of poverty is stealing over the city. I saw three stray dogs wandering in the street before I arrived at a nearby cafe to collect my thoughts. To attend a city meeting about a potential sanctuary city policy--such an event was completely unheard of to me.
It's Friday, December 30. The new year is just around the corner. President-Elect Trump will be sworn in in twenty days. Instead of complying with federal law, city officials like Rafael Trujillo want to double-down in their lawlessness.
Just for background, Rafael Trujillo is a career politician. He has worked for every Democratic congressman in the San Bernardino, Inland Empire region. He only ran for office for the first time when he was elected to the Rialto City council, but before that he served on the regional water board as a regional candidate. Like a lot of Hispanic, Democratic lawmakers, he is 100% in favor of amnesty and supports illegal aliens ahead of legal residents and American citizens.
He just got elected to city council, and already he is plotting and planning a perverse agenda to turn Rialto into a sanctuary city!
I arrived at the Rialto City Hall about five minutes before the meeting was set to start:
It's still cold, but not chilly outside, and the weather was actually more temperate than I expected. Some of We the People Rising (WTPR) were waiting in their cars outside of the city hall, but I decided to walk in, just to get warm.
Within minutes, the rest of the team arrived, and lo and behold, Trujillo was standing in the lobby of the city hall.
I recorded his remarks, and could tell that he was playing dumb to the rest of us:
At first, I was not even sure who he was, then I got one of his business cards at the front desk (printed in English and Spanish).
Then a few of the constituents whom he planned to meet with showed up. More people from our team arrived, and then we realized what was really going on. Trujillo had intended to have this "sanctuary city" committee meeting in private, without anyone but his ardent, left-leaning supporters in on the plan.
Unbelievable. This man has only served for one month, and attended one city council meeting, and he is going behind everyone's back! He did not even tell the other city councilmembers what he is doing. What an impetuous child!
This meeting was not only unethical, but it looked like a flagrant Brown Act Violation, in that I saw city council papers on the desk in the back room!
What was going on? Trujillo refused to give me any answers.
Then we confronted this "undocumented politician" further:
This second video is particularly revealing.
He had two of his activist-staffers (including a former school board member) with him. One of the arrogant Hispanic radicals tried to shame us about confronting Trujillo, claiming that since he is a citizen, he has every right to discuss with htis elected official the plans for a sanctuary city.
Rafe "Sanctuary City" Trujillo then played the race card on me, even though I had only asked a question about one of the two women with him. I shut him down instantly. He had no idea what to do!
We were undeterred, but this man continued to try and dodge us. He even asked one of the men inside the city hall to call ... the Chief of Police!
Seriously?! We are citizens of the United States and we have every right to expect elected officials to honor the needs of citizens, not illegal aliens. He had no right to misuse city property and resources in this treasonous manner, either.
I showed him a picture of Marcello Bisarello, an American citizen who was killed by an illegal alien drunk driver in Santa Ana, California.
This young man died in so tragic and arbitrary a manner. No one killed by an illegal alien should ever have died. These deaths are preventable, but only if the federal government would enforce our immigration laws!
He then promised to meet with Agnes Gibboney (whose son was killed by an illegal alien). Sure he would ... He insisted on running away from us, even after he had the police called on us! All five police officers, the only peace officers in the entire city. So, the city councilman summoned everyone of them to watch citizens exercise their rights.
What a waste of city resources.
He was cornered, he was scared, he got caught, and jumped into his car to escape!
We the People Rising had so much to celebrate! We upended this corrupt meeting!
No matter Trujillo may have tried to do afterwards, We the People put his to flight!
Now about this Trujillo guy ...
Don't let him think that this issue has died away.
Call him and email him right now, and tell him to abandon this vain "sanctuary city" nonsense!
