Immigration Reform
What defeated immigration reform in 2007
was a
sophisticated coordinated
marketing strategy to influence United States Senators.
The
well financed
sophisticated coordinated
marketing strategy used by
Numbers USA together with conservative Republican
talk radio energized America to defeat immigration
reform by sending one million faxes, hundreds of
thousands of emails and placing thousands of telephone
calls to their United States senators. This massive
highly financed organized lobbying program over whelmed
senators who were told daily by Numbers USA, faxes,
emails, phone calls and Republican talk radio represented America who wanted no
amnesty program that would reward "illegals" entering
the United States.
It worked.
Now
we need to do the same.
If the massive marches in 2006 were not enough, isolated
"chispas" will not work. Nothing short of a massive
national boycott and
lobbying program is required.
The only way to win immigration reform in
Washington D.C., is by using a sophisticated coordinated
marketing strategy to influence United States Senators
and Members of the United States House of
Representatives to approve immigration reform that
includes a pathway to citizenship and the Dream Act.
ˇYa Basta!
working with the Blue Dogs of the Democratic Party,
Hispanic News and Act America will work toward
passage of immigration reform.
Act America is
being established to duplicate Numbers USA and needs
your support to make immigration reform possible. This
will become important after the Super Bowl.
|
The urgency now is to spread the
message of publicizing
ˇYa Basta! to every one in
the United States and Latin
America. Why Latin America?
Because American products and
services are sold in Latin
America.
How we will spread the message
using the wire services can be
found below.
The Blue Dogs of the
Democratic Party as a non profit is set up to take
donations to undertake publicizing
ˇYa Basta!.
Become
involved
|
Remember Numbers USA and conservative Republican
talk radio is preparing for 2008. It will take
considerable catch up to equal Numbers USA and talk
radio. This will not be enough. We need to surpass them.
In America, money talks. If you do not contribute at
Blue Dogs then more and more state, county, city, and
town laws will be passed to detain you and quickly
deport you.
If you think moving to
another city or state is the answer, think again.
There is a massive
movement across the United States to pass laws that
deprive undocumented from services and jobs.
There is no
place to move to.
The only thing that will save you is a
new
immigration law in 2009 that leads to citizenship and contains
the Dream Act. |

PHOENIX (By Jon Garrido,
the Blue Dogs of the Democratic Party)
September 9, 2007 —
For many in the Hispanic community
across the United States, this is a time
of high anxiety.
The debate over immigration, once simmering,
is now explosive.
The current wave of anti-immigration sentiment
is a dark moment in America's history paralleling the
civil rights movement of the 1960s.
Failure to pass
comprehensive immigration reform has led to local laws
that imperil the rights of Hispanics.
There has been a long period of warning signs, but
now they are impossible to ignore.
Local laws and ordinances are sprouting up
across America to make Hispanics feel harassed and discriminated against.
One such town is Payson, Arizona.
Hispanic News
is fighting back with a possible lawsuit if Payson,
Arizona does not rescind its racist affidavit
requirement.
What
is happening today has an adverse impact on all
Hispanics not just the undocumented. To the
anti-immigration hate bashers, there is no
difference between an American Hispanic and an
undocumented person — a brown face is a brown face.
If you are
an American Hispanic and think this is not your problem
then you have your head in the sand. The racism being
waged on the undocumented is being waged against all
persons with brown faces. When your children are walking
home from school or are at the shopping mall, all white
people look upon your children as suspect. And this is
not just about your children, it is about you being
stopped on the highway and the police officer points his
flash light in your face and asks, "Let me see your
papers." If you can not prove with an official document
you are an American citizen, you will be detained along
with your family!
All Hispanics — American Hispanics
and the undocumented — must coalesce to “strategically combat” anti-immigration
forces.
An alliance of Hispanic
organizations must be forged along side a grass roots
movement of brown faces to counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry toward
Hispanics everywhere in the United States.
We have growing political power
that will make its presence felt in later years, but a
strong and growing
economic power can be can leveraged now.
Eventually, the United States
Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of all
immigration court cases addressing if the states and sub
governments: counties, cities and towns, have the
authority to approve immigration laws.
For a long period of time, this
will not hamper states, counties, cities and towns from
undertaking laws and ordinances passed to hinder the
presence of Hispanics in countless jurisdictions across
the land. The list of governments approving immigration
laws grows daily; unfortunately, the judicial process
for declaring approved laws unconstitutional is
burdensome and lengthy.
To date, the United States Supreme
Court has ruled numerous times only the United States of
America can approve immigration law as stated in
constitutional law, the Supremacy Clause of the U. S.
Constitution.
That date is far in the future. Until
then we are at the mercy of our own destiny and
undertakings. It is this interim period of time from
today until the U.S. Supreme Court rules that ˇYa Basta! addresses.
ˇYa Basta!
Out of desperation and a feeling of
frustration, Hispanics across the United States are
taking action to counter the anti-Hispanic bashing
taking place in most cities and towns across America.
This frustration can be expressed by the utterance: ˇYa
Basta!
(Enough is Enough!).
These actions are similar to sparks
(chispas) igniting all over the United States.
When enough sparks (chispas) take hold they will forge into a fire
and ignite as fierce and quick as a prairie fire spreading across
America's
Heartland. No one will be able to put out the roaring fire. The fuego is coming.
It will happen but time is of the
essence. Migrants are being rounded up and deported. All
migrants are being deported including mothers with children born in the United States.
Sparks (chispas) are important but they are
limited in impact when local actions are undertaken as
isolated actions; however, for the purpose of
illustration —
if chispas are thought of as a light
bulb dispersing wave lengths of light in all
directions to light up a room, the wave lengths are not marching in unison
or coordinated like a flashlight beam and as such have wasted energy. If the
waves of light energy are focused by one strategy and
campaign, the dispersed wave lengths of light in all
directions then becomes an army of wave lengths all
marching one behind the other. In my college physics
class, I witnessed a laser powerful enough to cut through
steel. Today,
more importantly, a coordinated
national movement can counter
act hatred, prejudice and bigotry toward Hispanics
everywhere in the United States.
Enough to even
lobby the U.S. Congress to pass comprehensive
immigration reform in 2009 after the 2008 elections.
What is needed is a
coordinating mechanism or rather a coordinating
organization. This organization is Hispanic News giving
birth, sponsoring and coordinating:
The ˇYa Basta!
National Boycott.
The sparks (chispas) are happening in:
EL PASO
A group of women from La Mujer Obrera finished a week long
hunger strike Monday. The strike was organized by La Mujer Obrera to call
attention to the problems of poverty and hiring discrimination in El Paso.
KANSAS CITY
An example is La Raza’s recent decision to consider
pulling the 2008 convention out of Kansas City because
of the appointment to the city’s parks board of a member
of a militant group opposing immigration reform.
PRINCE WILLIAM
COUNTY
Hispanics Launched an economic boycott
and to promote shopping outside the county. On the first day of a
one-week boycott called by immigrant groups in Prince
William County, county residents said they
were shopping elsewhere to send a message that Latino
immigrants are an important, unified economic force and
can't be intimidated.
The boycott is a protest
against a resolution, passed unanimously by the Board of
County Supervisors in July, to deny many public services to
illegal immigrants and empower police and other officials to
question immigrants about their legal status and in some
cases turn them over to federal immigration authorities.
PHOENIX
The denial of
government services to America's
undocumented began in Arizona with the
passage in November 2004, of Proposition
200. This was the beginning of a
movement of denying services to
undocumented across the United States.
Two years later, Arizona voters in
November 2006, approve Proposition 300
requiring documentation as proof of
lawful presence in the United States to
qualify for in-state tuition and state
financial assistance.
An
immigrant-rights organization is
calling on thousands of workers to
stay home this week and not spend
money to protest the state's new
employer-sanctions law.
Organizers say the week long work stoppage and economic boycott
began on Labor Day is aimed at calling attention to the
labor and economic contributions of undocumented immigrants at a
time when employers have come under intense pressure in Arizona
to stop employing them.
The state's new employer-sanctions law
signed by Governor Napolitano,
elected governor by the Hispanic
community, has now aligned herself with
the most vile
state legislator against Hispanics who
was the author of Proposition 200. The
new law, Napolitano's Achilles heel on
future elections, takes effect January
1 and has the power to revoke business licenses from employers who
knowingly hire unauthorized workers.

The 2008
Super Bowl will be held in Arizona. Beginning in 2008 with Arizona and
each state thereafter that has approved
a law hindering services provided to the
undocumented or requiring citizenship
verification, ˇYa Basta! will send out
notices/press releases prior to the
Super Bowl notifying corporations and
organizations if they advertise at the
Super Bowl, their product or service
will be boycotted nationally until
racism against Hispanics comes to an end. It is
important to repeat,
ˇYa Basta!
is not boycotting the Super Bowl, only the sponsors. For example, if General
Motors (GM) has a Super Bowl commercial on buying the Chevy Chevrolet Colorado
truck, do not buy this truck because General Motors indirectly supports
defeating immigration reform. Instead of buying a Chevy truck, buy a Ford
Ranger. If Ford is also a Super Bowl Sponsor, do not buy a Ford truck, buy a
Toyota truck. The same with beer. If Budweiser has a Super Bowl commercial, do
not buy Budweiser beer, buy Corona beer.
The evening of the Super Bowl, all commercial
sponsors of the Super Bowl will be listed here at ˇYa Basta! and the list of
Super Bowl sponsors will be emailed across the United States to everyone in our
email directory.
Add your
name to receive the list of Super Bowl sponsors to boycott their product or
service and to receive updates on the !Ya Basta! National Boycott.
|
Why is boycotting Super Bowl
sponsors important to
immigration reform? If not one
commercial is advertised during
the televised Super Bowl, the
Super Bowl will not be
televised. If the Superior Bowl
is not televised, it will show
the USA, American Hispanics and
the undocumented want racism
toward us to come to an end and
American Hispanics and the
undocumented want
compassionate
immigration
reform passed in 2009. Hispanic News,
Act America and the Blue Dogs of
the Democratic Party next summer
will invite all Hispanic/Latino
groups to join together to
draft an immigration bill that
includes an
expanded Dream Act
and
Ayuda program that
will be given to the Congress
for passage instead of having
Kyl, Hutchinson Bailey, Cornyn,
Sessions, McCain, Graham, and
other racist United States
senators sponsor an immigration
bill that does not include a
path to citizenship. If the
immigration bill had been
adopted as these racist senators
sponsored, it would have
deported all 12 million migrants
for jaywalking or spitting on
the sidewalk. It was a proposed
bill with very strict
citizenship provisions loaded with unworkable cruelties. This will
not happen again. If it does,
the
ˇYa Basta!
National Boycott continues.
The Super Bowl will be held in
Arizona on February 3, 2008.
This is only 144 days away.
ˇYa Basta!
has only 144 days to gain
support across America.
ˇYa Basta! does not ask you
to stand outside the Super Bowl
carrying a sign.
ˇYa Basta!
does not want you trying to stop
any one from entering the Super
Bowl. ˇYa Basta!
does not want you protesting out
front and arrested because you
do not have a permit. ˇYa Basta!
from the comfort of your home
along with all your friends and
relatives, wants you to watch
the Super Bowl. The
ˇYa Basta! goal is to have no
commercial sponsors. More than
one Super Bowl may be required.
Beginning with the Arizona Super
Bowl,
Write down the name of every
commercial sponsor. Email
ˇYa Basta! your list and
later that night, ˇYa Basta!
will publish the list of
sponsors. That night, the
boycott begins against every
commercial sponsor. Make ˇYa
Basta! a success to end racism
against all Hispanics and
Latinos. Email all your friends
and relatives and tell them
about ˇYa Basta!. To help you,
click the email address
Join the Ya Basta National
Boycott of the Super Bowl
then just add email addresses
and click send. ˇYa Basta!
is the best way to fight back
against racism toward
Hispanics/Latinos in America.
This is the only way to pressure
the Congress in approving
immigration reform including the
Dream Act. |

Hispanic News in 2006 started
the Ax Kimberly Clark boycott
that spread the AxKC boycott
across the United States and
into Mexico and other Latin
American countries. At the
height of the AxKC boycott, in
addition to visitors from all
over the United States, 9,000
visitors per day were coming to
Hispanic News from Mexico to
learn the latest news on
immigration reform and the AxKC
boycott.
Hispanic News spread the AxKC
boycott across the United States
and into Mexico by use of a
weekly press release sent to all
media: television, radio and
newspapers. The press releases
were purchased by Hispanic News
using wire services and the wire
services distributed the press
releases in English and Spanish
through out the United States
and Latin America.
They were very effective
spreading the boycott message.
Now Hispanic News will use the
same wire services to spread the
ˇYa Basta! National Boycott
across the United States and
into Latin America.
Hispanic News needs your
financial support to send out a
press release every week using
the wire services until the
Super Bowl on February 3, 2008.
The cost for each press release
distributed by the wire services
to every television and radio
station plus newspaper in the
United States and Latin America
in English and Spanish is
$1,100. To make ˇYa Basta!
successful to pressure
Washington to approve
immigration reform requires your
support. The Blue Dogs of the
Democratic Party is working with
Hispanic News to make ˇYa Basta!
a success. Blue Dogs is a non
profit and will accept your
donation and by agreement all
donations will be used to pay
for press releases. Remember the
Super Bowl is only 144 days
away. We need to spread the
message beginning today.
