Amanda Touchton: Head of Hate Group "Black Lives Matter, El Segundo"

Amanda Touchton is the power behind the throne, so to speak, for Black Lives Matter El Segundo.

As I wrote in a previous post, Black Lives Matter El Segundo is a hate group.

And here, she's pretending to seem professional:

She is a rich liberal who decided to move to El Segundo to cause trouble.

This is really sick. What is the matter with liberals. Why do they insist on ruining everyone else's lives so that they can virtue-signal that they are somehow better than the rest of us?

Why can't they just live their lives and let cities rest and grow in peace?

Anyway, when I learned about her key role with Black Lives Matter El Segundo, I wrote her a letter via her business contact information (she is a lawyer by trade):

Subject: Regarding Black Lives Matter Connections

Dear Ms. Touchton and Ms. Weinberger:

My name is Arthur Schaper, and I am the Organization Director for MassResistance.

We are the international pro-family group that makes the difference, and we were a large part of the counter-protest which confronted the Black Lives Matter protest that took up Civic Plaza in El Segundo last weekend.

It has come to my attention that you are connected with a group of people, including younger individuals, who have been harassing and sending death threats to residents in El Segundo in connection with the so-called Black Lives Matter.

Touchton and Weinberger, would you please clarify or refute these rumors.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Arthur Schaper, Organization Director

Check out the hateful response that I received from her:

Mr. Schaper,

I am the Administrative lead with El Segundo for Black Lives, a role that is separate from my role as a partner at Touchton & Weinberger LLP.  My partner, Melissa, and I are, however, advocates for equality and justice.  Neither myself nor El Segundo for Black Lives has been doing anything harassing to any residents of El Segundo or anyone else for that matter.  To the contrary, I have received threats on social media and have been insulted and degraded.  We are a peaceful organization that advocates for change through peaceful means.

You and the counter-protestors, however, harassed and insulted members of El Segundo for Black Lives.  In addition, you failed to comply with the executive order of Governor Newsom that mandates wearing face masks.  In this way, you put a number of people at risk with your willfully dangerous actions.  The behavior of the group you now claim to represent was reprehensible and you are not deserving of further communication.  I will not be responding to you again.

Thank you,

Amanda Touchton

So, she does not hide the fact that she is an administrative lead for Black Lives Matter El Segundo (This "El Segundo for Black Lives" Nonsense is a perverse attempt to spin their true affiliation, which is with the entire Marxist, Anti-Semitic Black Lives Matter movement).

Now, let's delve into her comments, and test them, if you will:

Neither myself nor El Segundo for Black Lives has been doing anything harassing to any residents of El Segundo or anyone else for that matter.

This is a total load of crap. Residents have called out the BLM El Segundo group for sending death threats and posting flyers promoting the Marxist organization around the city. Key officials connected with the El Segundo Ed Foundation have been targeted and bullied repeatedly by this BLM Hate Group in the city, too.

Now she wants to play victim, and she wants to project the abusive actions of her group onto others. This tactic is not going to work!

What else did she try to get away with in her letter?

You and the counter-protestors, however, harassed and insulted members of El Segundo for Black Lives.

Oh brother! As if anyone is going to listen or read this claptrap with any degree of seriousness!

Whether she likes it or not, men and women in the city of El Segundo have every right to peaceably assemble, and they did on June 27th, 2020, and they did again on July 5th, 2020. The residents of El Segundo have every right to push back on the lies and slander of a group made up of mostly a bunch of entitled outsiders who think they have the right to lecture and shame everyone else about race relations.

Mrs. Touchton has touched down in the wrong city, if she thinks she can gaslight everyone into believing that the city of El Segundo is some essentially racist municipality. She apparently forgot that one of the mayors recently was a fifth-generation Angeleno named Suzanne Fuentes, for example. Does Touchton have a problem with Hispanic people or something?

Then she resorted to the same failing, flailing attack that Ben Lourey, the enraged soy boy, used against me at the July 5th meeting in Library Park:

In addition, you failed to comply with the executive order of Governor Newsom that mandates wearing face masks.  In this way, you put a number of people at risk with your willfully dangerous actions. 

Touchton claims to be a lawyer, but she clearly knows very little about law, especially when it comes to hasty orders and directives coming from the Governor. Newsom has issued one arbitrary edict after another, telling certain counties, certain businesses, and everyday people to put on masks, to stay indoors, and all the rest. These emergency orders have long outlasted their constitutional authority. Furthermore, as a citizen of the United States and resident of the state of California, I am not obligated to wear a mask outside, nor do I have to socially distance if I so choose. Other individuals can insist on wearing masks for themselves and all the other protective measures as they see fit.

But those executive orders do not have the force of law, and in both rallies, the El Segundo Police respected that fact and did not press on me or anyone else to wear masks!

Final Reflection

Amanda Touchton is clearly flustered and angry. Her little social justice warrior charade has been cofronted effectively, and California MassResistance is not afraid to call her out.

She is part and parcel of a violent, domestic terrorist group called Black Lives Matter. This is a Marxist movement bent on undermining the rule of law and destroying the United States. Her hate needs to be exposed, and this Black Lives Matter, El Segundo movement needs to be exposed and disbanded. They should be ashamed of themselves for trivializing black lives in order to promote left-wing, anti-black, anti-American causes in the South Bay!

DACA Is Complex--Because of Obama's Lawlessness

Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals should live up to its name.

President Obama deferred the action to deport, remove illegal aliens who had arrived in this country when they were young. Now it's time to enforce the action.

The truth is--this DACA revocation is not complex. It's actually a pretty simple concept.

People who are in this country illegally need to leave the country, get back in line and follow the legal process to become citizens in our great country

We can complain--and perhaps rightly so--that the process to become a citizen is cumbersome and unfair. But millions of people have come to this country legally and joined our great nation as legal residents.

So, right way I have no compassion for lawlessness.

This country's compassion has been stretched to its limits. It's time for our elected officials to stop being guilt-tripped into throwing out the welcome out to everyone who comes to our borders claiming asylum or refugee status.

And you know what else? It's not the fault of the citizens in this country if illegal aliens took their children into this country and put them in this tight position.

The most compassionate action we can take is to enforce our laws.

Simple as that.

So, let's see what the liberal media choose to do ...

They turn up the perverse sympathy card. They induce readers to feel sad and even ashamed that they want the rule of law respected and our statutes enforced. Or the press will give the impression that enforcing our laws is too difficult, and will create too many problems for us.

From The Daily Breeze:

Trump faces a complex choice on DACA

It's not a complex choice, as much as the previous administrations have refused to enforce our laws. This conflict is not hard to understand. What is lacking is the political will to do what is right for the American people.

Donald Trump signed executive orders this week that might deliver two of his biggest campaign promises — to build a border wall and to make it considerably tougher to be an undocumented resident of the United States.

Donald Trump has followed through on more promises made--in two weeks time, then any politician before him. This is incredible!

But a third campaign promise — to repeal the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), and start the deportation process of about 750,000 people who grew up in the United States after being brought here as children -- remains unfilled.

Yes, and I submit that this is a big problem. We need to undo this unconstitutional program, no looking back. Donald Trump can declare to the world that he is compassionate. Elected officials are not permitted to spend our money for their compassion.

I share the same thing

For thousands of people in Southern California, that non-move by Trump is a moment of personal anxiety, a potentially life-changing shoe that has yet to drop.

For Trump, it’s a moment of political anxiety.

Before the election, DACA was as big a part of his campaign as the border wall. In speech after speech Trump railed against the program, saying he would “terminate” it immediately, even in the face of political blowback. Polling shows his core supporters responded to that message, seeing the promise as a sign that Trump was immune to typical political pressures.

But since the election, Trump’s language on DACA has softened.

I have spoken to Trump supporters and staffers in the Trump administration. The reason that he is not pulling the lever right now on DACA is that he wants the entire cabinet assembled.

OK.

But we need him to pull the lever soon. There should be no more applications processed. Time to pull the plug on that perverse program.

In his first TV interview as president elect he suggested he would replace DACA with something that would allow younger immigrants to stay in the United States. And on Wednesday, hours after he signed the executive orders to start construction of the border wall and to beef up border agents and immigration personnel, Trump told ABC news that DACA recipients “shouldn’t be worried.”

At this point, I stopped paying to what Trump says, and more attention to what he does. And Trump is doing a great job already.

Still, many are.

“There is just chaos and hysteria going on with our undocumented community,” said Luz Gallegos, community programs director for the TODEC Legal Center, which provides immigration services in the Inland Empire.

The word "undocumented" is the weasel word of the year. Give me a break. Human beings are not pieces of paper. They are human beings. And human beings can be illegal.

Like many immigrant advocacy groups in the region, the center continues to help immigrants already in the program to renew their status with DACA, which offers relief from deportation in two-year windows. But Gallegos said her group also is advising people not to submit initial applications for the program, keeping their personal information -- and the fact that they’re not documented immigrants -- out of government databases.

“It’s been really emotional. We don’t know what’s going to happen two days from now, two hours from now. It’s a roller-coaster” Gallegos said, choking up.

“There’s really no end to it with this administration.”

All of this chaos and upset is President Obama's fault. If he had any principles, if he really cared about fixing the immigration problem the way that he intended to, then Obama should have done something about the issue during the first two years of his Administration.

And Obama did nothing:

What is known is that DACA is popular.

As of now, DACA, created five years ago as an executive order by Barack Obama, covers about 750,000 people, about half of whom live in California. Most work or study here; virtually all speak English and are culturally assimilated.

How do they know that DACA is powerful? Who is telling them this?

Other sources have outlined that they do not know how many illegal aliens are in the country. But of course, notice that nearly half of these zombie migrants are in California (supposedly). 

Often, DACA recipients — touted as DREAMers by supporters and in the media — are the public faces of the immigration debate.

Notice the passage writes "by supporters and in the media." Let's make this plain. The media are supporters of these DREAMers, while ignoring the American Dreamers, the citizens who were born in this country and are finding it more difficult to find work and excel in their careers.

A poll released in late November by Global Strategy found that 58 percent of all voters supported keeping DACA in place, and just 28 percent wanted it to be repealed.

Which voters? Guess what ... I don't care if 90% of the people favor this DACA crap. It needs to be repealed. The rule of law is not based on popular sentiment. That's how Obama had governed for the last eight years. We need leadership, not feelings.

For Trump — supposedly immune to polling — a choice to cut the program could reduce his political capital.

No it wouldn't. What a crock.

“The politics of it get very dicey,“ said Mike Madrid, a California-based Republican strategist who has studied Latino voting trends. For most voters, he said, “going after DREAMERs would be one step too far.”

He is not going after "DREAMers." He is ending the ruthless lawlessness of the Obama Administration and their chronic disregard of We the People, the ones who form a more perfect union and who expect our elected officials to honor their oaths and uphold the rule of law.

“This is absolutely a lightning rod. DACA has personalized the [immigration] issue in a way that nothing else has, It puts a human face to it, and in a social movement, that can change everything.”

Given the political delicacy of the issue, Madrid said, it’s possible that Trump could choose to quietly phase out the program, rather than make a big repeal announcement.

“I think that might be as far as they’re willing to go, politically.”

But Trump is already facing pressure from anti-illegal immigration groups, who fear the president‘s hesitancy to repeal DACA signals a broader softening on his hawkish immigration policy agenda.

“We’re very disappointed,” said Joe Guzzardi, national media director at Californians for Population Stabilization, a Santa Barbara-based group that advocates immigration restrictions.

“He said early and often that he was going to repeal Obama’s executive orders on immigration, and DACA was on that list.”

I agre with Guzzardi. Trump needs to kick rump and repeal that immoral program.

In an email blast sent earlier this week, the North Carolina-based Americans for Legal Immigration PAC urged its 50,000 supporters to tell the White House to reopen its comments hotline so they could push the president to act on DACA.

“He risks alienating the very powerful base that elected him if he doesn’t act soon,“ said William Gheen, the group’s president. “We’ve given Republicans all of the branches of government, and we don’t want to see them support DACA by any means.”

Trump didn’t look at polling when he moved to build the wall. Only about 37 percent of Americans want a border wall; 59 percent oppose it. And, broadly speaking, most Americans -- 61 percent -- favor a path to citizenship for immigrants.

Other Republicans are moving away from Trump on immigration.

Earlier this month, a bipartisan group of senators, including Republicans Lindsay Graham of South Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, introduced legislation to give deportation relief to as many as 740,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

Lisa Murkowski is a total RINO, and how she came out of Alaska, I will never understand. If she is so concerned about all those illegal minors, she should pay for them to live in Alaska.

“It’s my firm belief most Americans want to fix a broken immigration system in a humane manner,” Graham said in a press release.

Graham's belief is all wrong, and our system is not broken. The powers that be are refusing to enforce our laws. This discussion continues to go around in circles. Pro-enforcement activists and advocates have done everything they can

In a statement on Trump’s executive orders Wednesday, California Senator Dianne Feinstein took the president to task for not addressing DACA, calling it “the most important issue at hand.”

Feinstein was one of the biggest cheerleaders for amnesty. If there were more commonsense voters in the state of California, they would be taking her to task, then throwing her out of office, Of course California has lost its commonsense base, or Republican voters are just not voting anymore, as they have gotten tired of being lied to or disappointed by Republican candidates, who get elected and then fail to stand their ground on principles which are best for our country.

“It’s a successful program that I think the president should leave alone,“ Feinstein said. “Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said DACA youth wouldn’t be a priority and I hope he follows through on that.”

Youth cannot be a priority, to the extent that repeated deportees commit rape and murder. They absolutely must be removed from this country, permanently.

Some of the blowback will undoubtedly come from the DREAMERs themselves.

Since the inception of the program in 2012, reciepients [sic] of the program have become a well-resourced and vocal political interest group, mobilizing undocumented immigrants and presenting a sympathetic face to the immigrant rights movement.

Here's another reason why DACA must be repealed. This group of illegal alien youth who have been sheltered are getting more radicalized by the minute. They do not honor the rule of law in our country,

Check out this video to get a glimpse of what will happen if there is no clear-cut enforcement of our laws:

“I think the real political strength of DREAMERs is that they are telling people who they are,“ said U.S. Congressman Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana, who has been outspoken on immigrant rights issues.

This is a lie. He does not care

“And when you get to hear their stories, how do you say no to them?”

Still, Trump might. His nominee for Attorney General, Ala. Sen. Jeff Sessions, introduced legislation two years ago to end DACA. And a key counselor, Steve Bannon, has publicly denounced the program.

Earlier this week, a draft of an executive order was leaked the Website Vox. That draft called for the elimination of DACA.

Let's hope it goes from leak to deluge, and very soon.

Final Reflection

Let's state the truth in earnest.

Anyone who enters this country is expected to do so legally and to reside in this country legally.

This is not a complex issue.

If parents put their children at risk, that is their fault. They made the situation complicated by breaking the law. It is not an "act of love" (as Jeb said) to violate our immigration laws.

Period.

Every other country in the world enforces its immigration laws. Why can't we?

We have been compassionate to the rest of the world. It's time for our government to put Americans First -- and that means Americans of all ethnic backgrounds who are born and/or naturalized citizens.

This DACA situation is not complicated. The cowardice or craven liberalism of our political class has created this problem. For once, our elected officials should have compassion on this country's citizens.

And that is not a complex request, either.

When Executives Are Acceptable

Some conservatives are already raising alarm about the number of Executive Orders issues by the Trump Administration.

My response:

There is nothing wrong with using executive orders in order to reverse unconstitutional acts.

How many executive orders did President Obama issue?

How many of them were clearly contravening the United States Constitution and upending the rule of law?

The DACA and DAPA programs were inherently vile, a complete dissolution of the legal order in our country. Illegal immigration must be stopped, and any laws dealing with immigration must begin with Congress. No DREAM Act came of out of Congress, so that means that the President had neither right nor authority to do anything.

And even when the announcements were issued, many illegals simply refused to stop out of the shadows and get registered.

Obama's decision to repeal the Mexico City Policy was an executive order.

That was a repeal of a policy instituted by President Ronald Reagan.

Trump issued an executive order, which would reinstates Reagan's program of protecting life.

The Mexico City policy protects taxpayer dollars, too. $100 million of our dollars go overseas to fund the death of innocents. This misuse of funds should never happen.

Executive orders are appropriate to ensure that the laws of our land are carried out, too.

They cannot act as laws unto themselves, of course. Lawmaking must originate in Congress, and especially in the House of Representatives. The domain for all appropriations must begin in the House.

But back to the situation of constitutionality.

There is nothing wrong with President Trump reverse executive orders that are unconstitutional through his own executive order. This should not be an issue of discussion.

For him to appropriate money without prior approval from Congress, however, is wrong, and that should not happen. If we want to make sure that we Make America Great Again, it's crucial that we Make the Constitution Great Again.
