With Whom do Our Leaders Side in the Immigration Debate?

Arizona has thrust a proverbial stake in the ground of our Southwest border; choosing to support legal immigration and take a stand against the violence and crime that accompanies the business of trafficking humans across international borders.

We have seen numerous protests in response to Arizona’s new Immigration law. However, who is protesting and what are the motivations behind those protests? Are the protesters who we have seen breaking windows, assaulting cops, and carrying torches, just concerned citizens worried about the potential for harassment? Or are they radical Marxists just seizing on the opportunity to create more havoc in support of their agenda? The video below shows a teacher who recently spoke at a La Raza rally. The speaker in Southern California claims to be speaking from “stolen occupied Mexico” and invokes the revolutionaries Fidel Castro, and Che Guevara, calling on the crowd to continue their revolution North of the Rio Grande, saying, “We will no longer fall for these lies called borders.”

Before condemning the Arizona law and lending their political weight to revolution, leaders such as Arizona Representative Raul Grijalva and President Obama should consider the company they keep. The left has gone to extreme effort to misrepresent the Arizona law; and the motivation of those maligning Arizona are in step with the Marxist agenda of the open border La Raza movement.

Our leaders may have chosen La Raza. As for me, I prefer to side with hard working immigrants such as Gabriella Saucedo.
