Mexicanizing Martin Luther King
by Terry Graham (first published 1/2005) email: teegra22@yahoo.com
It’s no surprise that the Mexican national who assaulted me at First Data/Western Union’s Immigration Forum July 2004 in Denver is being called the Latina “Martin Luther King” in a piece by Argentine immigrant and professional Latino hustler Francisco Miraval. The column, crediting my attacker -- "Julissa ‘Luther King’" with launching a Latino immigrant civil rights movement ran in Spanish-language newspapers nationwide.
As we mark King’s birthday --whatever your opinion of him -- Americans of all colors reflect upon the history of Black slaves, their descendants and the Civil Rights movement.
We must also “out” the campaign by border-jumping invaders to hijack that history and its icons, portraying themselves as long-suffering victims to advance their self-serving, fast-track-to-freebies agendas, often on the backs of Blacks.
As a White American whose ancestors arrived in 1640, I reject the MLK con perpetrated by paid immigrant spokesholes like Miraval who claim that I owe foreigners anything upon their voluntary, deliberate arrival here.
I am surprised by Black Americans who help these phonies usurp Black history and hard-won Citizenship, given the overwhelming evidence that massive third-world immigration has harmed Blacks terribly.
14th Amendment Citizenship & The Dream Scheme
Perhaps the most twisted example of Black identity theft by open-borders opportunists is the outrageous misapplication of the long-irrelevant 14th Amendment. Passed in 1866 to grant former slaves automatic US citizenship, with full rights and privileges, this Amendment truly is written in the blood of Americans of all colors.
Yet today, 14th Amendment Citizenship is gained by breaking and entering, breaking water, and swimming down mama’s birth canal. [Beware the emerging claim that because pregnant illegals “are carrying American Citizen babies,” they have a right to public healthcare.]
Black and all American children suffer as the floodgates to our nations remain open, most significantly in their access to quality education. When Ezola Foster, a Black American educator, decried losses to Black students as scarce public school funds were diverted to illegal and 14th Amendment “New American” students, she was assaulted by coworkers who didn’t like her criticizing the Mexicanization of our schools.
I won’t forget the Black teacher who told me she lost her job with San Francisco Public Schools because she didn’t speak the language of immigrant students, or the disabled Black father from Oakland who sued, and lost, when his young son was forced into foreign-language public school classes because no seats were available in English-speaking classrooms. In America.
How about MLK’s “I Have A Dream” twisted into the DREAM Scheme Act, a tax-grab by illegals to get in-state college tuition discounts because ICE has failed to deport them.
What would MLK -- or George Washington, say?
The Freed-o’-Bandido Ride
Last September’s so-called Immigrants Freedom Ride, featuring illegal Mexican marauders bussing to Washington, DC to demand their “rights,” was a total rip-off of the ‘60s civil rights “Freedom Ride”. At the Denver pit stop, Mexican flags flew in St. Joseph’s Church as American flags were stomped on in a perverse Mexican hat dance. South-of-the-Border scofflaws deboarding the busses shamelessly co-opted the term “Freedom Riders” from ‘60s activists. Google “Freedom Ride” and you’ll find these impostors are quickly displacing, erasing, and replacing American Black history, struggles, and successes.
Denver’s celebration welcoming these Freed-o’-Bandidos was sponsored by at least one panelist at First Data’s “Immigration Forum” where I was attacked. Lisa Duran, of Derechos Por Todos (Right For All People) is the contact listed in the event’s handout as lobbying for drivers licenses for illegals and against cooperative ICE-local police efforts. That handout states, “Frightening national and statewide efforts to connect law enforcement to immigration enforcement must be stopped. This campaign will work to promote civil liberties and to protect immigrants from deportation.”
Barbara Jordan on Border Jumpers
No doubt, Duran and her ilk would deny the legacy of the late Barbara Jordan, the Black American Chair of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform. Speaking for the vast majority of Americans, Jordan said in her 1995 testimony before Congress: “Our goal should be zero apprehensions -- not because aliens get past the Border Patrol, but because they are prevented entry in the first place....We believe that illegal aliens should be eligible for no public benefits other than those of an emergency nature, in the public health and safety interest, and constitutionally protected...The Commission supports enhancement of the Institutional Hearing Program that permits the federal government to obtain a deportation order while criminal aliens are still serving their sentences.”
Miraval & Martin
Returning to Francisco Miraval [tragically now a Naturalized Citizen], who wrote the piece granting Kinghood to Julissa Molina Soto, note that Miraval sat on the Board of Directors of The Hep C Connection, her [former] employer -- a non-profit funded by First Data/Western Union --when she assaulted me. Hep C reportedly helps illegal aliens (a felony per Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 274). [Molina-Soto, or whatever her real name is, given her five aliases suppressed at trial, was astonishingly found not-gulity of the assault, despite the testimony of three Denver policemen and a video showing her striking me repeatedly.]
Miraval’s failure to grasp our First Amendment and its fundamental role in perpetuating freedom shines in his report on the assault (La Voz Nueva, 7/28/04). There, he notes that Mario Hernandez, ex-spokesman for Denver’s Mexican Consulate and now VP of Public Affairs for First Data Corporation, and the Mexican Consul himself asked me to “behave properly” (i.e., shut up) at the public forum prior to my being assaulted by his colleague.
Behave? Read the First Amendment for how American Citizens (neither slaves nor peons) can behave.
.
For Miraval’s vacuous view of civil rights, read his website’s description of Project LEARN (www.newsandservices.com/whatisprojle.html), an initiative he designed to “hire Latino immigrants to teach the classes Latino immigrants need...” News Flash to Francisco: The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Miraval’s hiring criteria (Latino immigrant) would block even Martin Luther King from applying for Project LEARN jobs. Busted!
Bush's Barrio Without Borders
President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation declared that on January 1, 1863, all persons held as slaves within any State “shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.”
Today, President Bush is pushing his Border Buster’s Emancipation Proclamation, aka amnesty. The rocky road from slavery to Citizenship -- if Bush has his way -- will become the superhighway for scofflaws to Get Out of Jail Free and Go Directly to Citizenship.
As Bush so casually considers bestowing American Citizenship upon criminals, he should take note that the highest title any American can hold is Citizen, not President...or Presidente. By devaluing and utterly disrespecting Citizenship bought with the blood of our ancestors, Bush’s egregious proposal can only be interpreted as a plan to turn America into a Global Plantation or, perhaps more accurately, a Barrio without Borders.
Mexicanizing Martin Luther King, Black History, the Civil Rights Movement and our beloved nation, is an unacceptable scenario that thinking Americans will not tolerate. Faced with impostors, ethnic hustlers and traitors -- enemies foreign and domestic -- make no mistake: WE SHALL OVERCOME.
