http://www.infowars.com/welcome-to-maywood-mexico/ Welcome to Maywood, Mexico Roger Hedgecock Human Events June 29, 2010 Boasting a population that is 97% Hispanic, more than half foreign born, and 40% illegal, the Los Angeles County, Calif., incorporated city of Maywood has achieved the Reconquista goal. It is now as lawless and chaotic as any place in Mexico. Maywood is a warning to every city and town in America. The Maywood City Council announced this week that after years of radical policies, corruption and scandal, the city was broke and all city employees would be laid off and essential city services contracted out to neighboring cities or to L.A. County government. How did this happen? Until recently, Maywood was the model for âbrown powerâ politics. Maywood was the first California city with an elected Hispanic City Council, one of the first âsanctuaryâ cities for illegal aliens, the first city to pass a resolution calling for a boycott of Arizona after that state passed a law to enforce federal immigration laws, the first California city to order its police department not to enforce state laws requiring drivers to have licenses to drive, the first American city to call on Congress to grant amnesty to all illegals. Council meetings were conducted in Spanish. Maywood was the leader in the peaceful, democratic achievement of the La Raza goal to take power in the U.S. The City of Maywood started out quite differently. Back after World War II, Maywood was a booming blue-collar town with good jobs, a multi-ethnic suburb of Los Angeles. On the 25th anniversary in 1949 of Maywoodâs incorporation as a city, the town celebrated with a beard-growing contest, a rodeo, and wrestling matches in City Park. Chrysler operated an assembly plant there until 1971. But the early 1970s saw these industrial jobs in aerospace, auto and furniture manufacturing, and food processing evaporate under the pressure of higher taxes, increased local and state regulation, and the attraction of cheaper land and cheaper labor elsewhere. The multi-ethnic Maywood of the post-war years was transformed in the â80s and â90s by wave after wave of Hispanic immigrants, many of them illegal. In August 2006, a âSave Our Stateâ anti-illegal immigration rally in Maywood drew hundreds of protestersâbut a larger number of defenders of illegal immigration. The pro-illegal protesters carried signs which read âWe are Indigenous ! The ONLY owners of this Continent!â and âRacist Pilgrims Go Homeâ and âAll Europeans are Illegal Here.â According to newspaper reports at the time, objectors to illegal aliens were subject to physical attacks. A 70-year-old man was âslashed,â a woman attacked, and cars vandalized. Pro-illegal demonstrators raised the Mexican flag at the U.S. Post Office. The illegal population and their sympathizers became increasingly radicalized. Elections to the City Council saw âassimilationistâ incumbent Hispanic council members ousted by La Raza supporting radical challengers. For years, the Maywood City Council authorized police checkpoints to stop drunk driving. Drivers without licenses had their cars impounded. Illegals in California cannot get drivers licenses. By 2005, the number of such impounds were in the hundreds. A community campaign was launched forcing the City Council to suspend the checkpoints. Cars were still being impounded whenever a police traffic-violation stop resulted in a driver without a license. Felipe Aguirre, a community activist with Comite Pro-Uno, an âimmigration service center,â coordinated a new campaign against any impounds. He was elected in 2005 to the City Council. He is the mayor of Maywood today. Aguirre and a new majority of the council dismantled the Traffic Department. Illegals were given overnight-parking permits and impounds stopped. You didnât need a license to drive in Maywood. The Los Angeles Times wrote glowingly of this âprogressâ in a story entitled âWelcome to Maywood, Where Roads Open Up For Immigrantsâ. The Maywood Police Department was restructured by the new council. A new chief and new officers were hired. Later it turned out that many of the new officers had previously been fired from other law enforcement agencies for a variety of infractions. The Maywood P.D. was known as the âDepartment of Second Chances.â Among those hired was a former L.A. Sheriffâs deputy terminated for abusing jail inmates; a former LAPD officer fired for intimidating a witness; and an ex-Huntington Park officer charged with negligently discharging a handgun and driving drunk. Even the L.A. Times called the Maywood Police Department a âhaven for misfit cops.â Their story alleged that a veteran officer was extorting sex from relatives of a criminal fugitive; that another officer tried to run over the president of the Maywood Police Commission; and that another officer has impregnated a teenage police-explorer scout. Charges of corruption and favoritism led to one recall of city council members and threats of more recalls are heard to this day. Maywood is represented in the state Senate by Democrat âOne Billâ Gil Cedillo. He earned the nickname by introducing every year in the state legislature a bill to grant drivers licenses to illegals. Maywood is represented in Congress by Democrat Lucille Roybal-Allard, a staunch advocate of amnesty for illegals. Today, Maywood is broke. Its police department dismantled along with all other city departments and personnel. Only the city council remains and a city manager to manage the contracts with other agencies for city services in Maywood. Maywood is the warning of what happens when illegal immigrants, resisting assimilation as Americans, bring with their growing numbers the corruption and the radical politics of their home countries. Add the radical home-grown anti-Americanism of Hispanic âleadersâ and groups like La Raza and you get schools where learning is replaced with indoctrination, business and jobs replaced by welfare and gangs, and a poisonous stew of entitlement politics. In too many American communities, this sad tale is all too familiar. __________________
Its back to the same old question - Who is a legal and who is an illegal Inhabitant of these lands? In my books apart from the natives everyone - whites, blacks, jews, chinese, blue, mexicans, japanese are all illegal. It doesn't matter if you are 10th generation descedent or yesterday immigrant. The Europeans siezed land from natives and established laws thats now everyone uses to call themsleves legal or called illegal. The act of seizing land from natives was illegal and therefor all other laws made by invaders are illegal. So folks these problems will not go away because of some (illigitimate in the 1st instance) laws made by illegal occupiers. The problems will be more pronounced as occupiers become the minority or weaker. Its the number cause of wars in the past, present and future all over the world. So the best thing is all you pack your bags and go back to your native countries.
And you of course, are the only one who is rightfully here... Perhaps you have this quaint idea that the natives are people who were peaceful and lived in harmony with the land. And of course, NEVER took land or warred against other native people...
who were the original natives? If there were cro magnons in the states... then europeans are the orginal natives.
Thats your argument... with some fundamentalists... not mine. I have stated mine many times... 1. Time is Relative. Days on earth can be billions of years traveling at close to the speed of light. 2. I have no reason to believe a 16th century Catholic Monk could date the bible by counting generations. Especially when some generations are missing. 3. I have arguments that light has not even been a constant - not that I make the argument... but what if light has been slowing down? 4. Even reading the creation story in the bible... there was a lot of creating done during that first period before the "clock was started"... I have no reason to believe that first period consisted of only 12 hours or 12 billion years. Hence my beliefs about God are not inconsistent with the idea that we have gone through some evolution.
The problem with your argument is unlike your God, evolution is a fact not an idea, and therefore quite inconsitent with superstitious beliefs.
I wasn't really gunnin' for you, jem, but your post gave me an opening to bait someone else. Sadly, they have not taken it.
