Equating Migrant People with Terrorists
The US, Canada and Mexico are putting the final touches on an executive agreement called the North American Alliance for Prosperity and Security which is a combined agreement on terrorism laws and economic laws, but it also contains sections dealing with immigration. Strangely, this is being kept very quiet in the United States despite the fact that Bush, Fox and Martin agreed in principle to the agreement in March and are continuing to have meetings to iron out the details.

Saturday protesters gathered in the streets of San Ysidro to raise their voices against the minutemen and groups like the minutemen. Protesters shouted in support of the rights of all people. These people came to the streets to let everyone - from bystanders, to Schwarzenegger - know that our state and county won't be taken over by a vigilante group.

On June 8, 2005 I was visited by agents of the FBI and ATF and questioned about the University Towne Centre fire of July 31, 2003 and the speech by animal-rights and environmental activist Rod Coronado in Hillcrest on August 1, 2003. That appearance has already led to early-morning raids on two other San Diego activists whose videotapes of the event were seized by the FBI, and Coronado's return to Southern California in May 2004 was met by even more intense repression. This time the FBI and ATF seemed interested mostly in obtaining photos of the audience at the Coronado event so they could scan them for "persons of interest" in the UTC arson investigation.

UPDATE: Photos from Friday's downtown protest for Justice for Janitors here
On June 4, 2005 the minutemen entered the town of Fallbrook early in the morning. There had been no prior warning to their arrival as there was in the previous demonstrations. Their objective; to stop City Bank from allowing their Mexican patrons from using Mexican ID to cash checks or open accounts. They stood on the sidewalk on Main St. next to Denny’s with racist anti-Mexican signs. There were reports that they were intimidating and harassing a disabled Mexican man who was walking down the sidewalk.

BREAKING NEWS: Reports of arbitrary arrests of peaceful protesters in Garden Grove The protest was peaceful and non-violent until the police rushed the crowd and arrested people for no reason. 
From the Washington Post: "The deployment of 36,000 National Guard troops or state militia on the U.S.-Mexico border would stop the illegal flow of foreigners into America, says a congressional report that credits the Minuteman Project with proving that additional manpower could "dramatically reduce if not virtually eliminate" illegal immigration."
