1st Amendment Trashed in Immigrant Crackdown
John Earl,

Costa Mesa Mayor Allan Mansoor believes that America is "a nation
of laws." That's why, he says, the city's police should be first in
the nation to directly help deport "illegal aliens." But conduct by
Monsoor at two recent Costa Mesa city council meetings–-revealed on
video logs from two separate sources–-raises questions about his
ability to correctly and impartially uphold the law, including basic
First Amendment rights.

Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,

Oskar Torres, actor and screenwriter whose remarkable personal story formed the basis of the film "Innocent Voices," came to San Diego December 30 to introduce the film at a showing sponsored by Activist San Diego to raise money for Salvadoran textile workers.

'Twas the Day Before Christmas
Leslie,

On Saturday, December 24, 2005 a small contingent of Save Our State used the luxury of their holiday to try to prevent day laborers in Glendale from getting work. The legend follows.

International Human Rights Organization Opposes HR4437
AFSC,

The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) vehemently opposes the anti-immigrant Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005 (HR 4437), which has been introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-WI). This bill does little to address the root causes of migration to the United States, or the underlying social and economic conditions of both legal and undocumented workers.

Know Borders?
indio,

Instituto Mamolandia, Califas – There is "chatter" among the S.O.S. leadership that indicates that they are considering changing the name of the organization. Apparently some of the rank in file members of S.O.S. are having a hard time spelling S.O.S. In response to this, S.O.S. is considering dropping the “O” from its name. Additionally, S.O.S. hopes that its new name, SS, will help recruit new members. Especially with the neo-Nazi/skinheads in Saint Bernard County, or is that San Bernardino County.

Glendale: Jornaleros Victorious!
Leslie,

Anti-racist, anti-fascist groups and individuals came together in Glendale in a mighty display of cooperation and support for day laborers and to shut down a weakened Save Our State.

Joe Turner arrested

GLENDALE, December 10, 2005--Seventy-five determined day laborers with 150 allies defended their brethren at the Glendale Temporary Skilled Worker Center this morning from a protest by Save Our State, a San Bernardino-based anti-migrant group.  SOS had called the demonstration to turn public sympathy against the workers, but only managed to bring out about twenty supporters.  SOS was overwhelmed in the sea of counterprotestors, and passing motorists along the busy San Fernando Road throughway honked their support for the jornaleros throughout the morning.

Sat., Glendale: SUPPORT Laborers. Stop SOS

Bush touring border, met with protest in AZ
lotu5 ,

A guest worker program is not enough. We demand equal rights as citizens for all people. Tying someone's human rights to their employment is the same as slavery. Remember the African guest worker program? It didn't work out so well...

Bush is visiting Border states this week, with the exception of California. Along the way, he has already been met with protest:

Code Pink and Raging Grannies protest in Tuscon |Phoenix Insurgent Commentary on the protest | Audio: Phoenix Protest Against Bushs Visit

As Bush proposes a guest worker program, we should remember the critiques of such programs from Solidarity Across Borders in Canada

Bckgnd on "Minutemen Exposed by Their Own"
Leslie,

Following is some background on the "Minutemen Exposed by Their Own" story below. More properly, this should be a comment, but I needed html to make this work and I could only find it here, as a new article. I wrote this for OC Craigs List back on November 1, 2005. By then, Politechs was quietly disappearing from open connection with Gilchrist's campaign and their public website vanished page by page over the first week in November.
