Pro-illegal immigrant groups snuggle up to anti-war, communist groups
Many pro-illegal immigration groups are trying to tie their issue to the Iraq War. I see this as a pretty convoluted connection, yet they’re trying to make that case. From the Associated Press story…
Frustrated by Congress’ lack of progress on immigration reform, pro-immigrant activists want to tap into growing anti-war sentiment this spring by combining the two issues at dozens of rallies nationwide.Many organizers are concerned that debate over the Iraq war has overshadowed immigration reform, and some immigrants are increasingly opposed to the conflict as more foreign-born troops are killed or wounded.
Immigration reform has been stalled since last summer, when Congress split over whether to first strengthen border security and immigration laws or extend a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants.
On Saturday, Latino Movement USA and other immigrant groups will participate in an anti-war rally in Los Angeles being organized nationwide by the ANSWER Coalition, which stands for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism.
For those of you who don’t know, ANSWER is a communist front group, also big on immigrant “rights” - in other words, completely open borders. Continuing on…
But not all pro-immigrant groups want to see the issues joined.
Jorge Mario Cabrera, associate director of Carecen, a Hispanic advocacy group in Los Angeles, said it’s better to focus limited resources on one issue. He said being associated with anti-war efforts could backfire.
“The risk is that immigration reform is still very political” without adding the war issue, Cabrera said.
Angelica Salas, director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, said her organization is staying neutral for the sake of members with loved ones in Iraq.
Socialists and communists in America have been big on open borders for some time, so it’s pretty natural that there would be some cross-pollination between the immigration and anti-war crowds. However, linking the two, as if one really had anything to do with the other, is a bit of a stretch. They jabber about the number of Hispanics who are joining the services and subsequently fighting in Iraq, with some getting injured or killed. But really, no one forced them to join. It is a volunteer military, after all. No one twisted my arm.
