No Migra! No Minutemen! Ya Basta!

A wave of anti-immigrant hysteria is sweeping the United States. Racist vigilante groups such as the Minutemen Project, Friends of the Border Patrol and Save our State have taken it upon themselves to “secure the border” by scapegoating and attacking immigrants.

Una ola de histeria anti-inmigrante sacude a los Estados Unidos. Grupos racistas como el Proyecto Minutemen, Amigos de la Patrulla Fronteriza, y Salven a Nuestro Estado han decidido tomar la ley en sus manos y “asegurar la frontera” atacando a los inmigrantes y usándolos como chivos expiatorios.

Congress Recommends Sending Troops to Border
repost from washington post,

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."

Just what we need, more troops, this time operating within our own country. I wonder how far inland from the border these troops will operate? Who will they be attacking? Who benefits from all this? Who profits?

Call today to stop the MinnuteMen meeting in LA on Wed, May 25th:

Revolutionary Communists Take on Christian Fa
duko,

"One thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo to elevate the
visibility of what's going on in America."
Tom DeLay, Congressman from Texas, House
Republican Majority Leader,
speaking to his co-thinkers of "Family Research Council"

Tom DeLay is a powerful right-winger who wraps his ambitions in a frenzied
god-speak. He is the cynical manipulator, who redistricted Texas to disenfranchise
political opponents, and is now rewriting congressional ethics procedures to
rescue himself from his own colossal corruption. He is an aggressive liar, who
recently dared describe Terri Schiavo as "lucid."
But, for a half second there among allies, he let out something true.
This huge national power struggle over Terri Schiavo's fate has, in fact, elevated
the visibility of what's going on in America.

(Many prominent Jews, both contemporary and historical figures, have compared Israel/Zionism/IDF to *NAZIS*!) Israeli history professor Moshe Zimmerman retorts: "Regarding the involvement of ...

Esther Kaplan: On the Trail of the Christian
duko,

div>

Esther Kaplan grew up in the only non-Christian family in her hometown of
King's Valley, Oregon. Her childhood was deeply intertwined with those of
Christian fundamentalists she played with and with whom her family socialized,
even as she was often considered an oddity who needed to be converted. Later
in life she was touched personally and then compelled into activity by the
AIDS epidemic, particularly disturbed by the hateful response of some of the
Christian Right who viewed AIDS as a just punishment from God against gays.
It is this intimate familiarity with both the people who make up much of the
base of the rapidly growing Christian Right in this country, as well as with
the human cost and suffering being inflicted by the political operatives leading
this movement, that Esther has approached the subject of the rising role Christian
fundamentalism in this country.
