"La Bruja" Jan Brewer SUED for Denying LEGAL DREAMERS Drivers' LIcenses!

The Guardian reports: Alejandra Lopez, 19, is one of thousands of young Hispanic "Dreamers" who grew up in the US and have been authorised to live and work here under Barack Obama's deportation reprieve.
But Lopez, the main carer for three US citizens – her child and two younger brothers – has been forced to turn down job interviews because she has been denied a driving licence by her home state of Arizona.

She is one of five young undocumented immigrants from the state who filed a class action lawsuit on Wednesday challenging what they say is its unconstitutional and discriminatory policy of depriving them of a driving licence or other state identification.
Jan Brewer, the governor of Arizona, issued an order in August this year to deny recipients of Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program any state identification of any kind, including licences. The DACA order, which was announced in June this year, allows undocumented young immigrants who came to the US as children to live and work here for a renewable period of two years.
The lawsuit was filed in the US district court for the state of Arizona on behalf of the Arizona Dream Act Coalition, an immigrant youth-led organization, Lopez and four other individuals. (The Dream Act is the name given to legislation, delayed in Congress for years, that would grant citizenship to certain undocumented migrants. Aspirant migrants living in the US are known as Dreamers.)
Jennifer Chang Newell, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union's immigrants' rights project, said: "Jan Brewer is thumbing her nose at the federal government. Federal immigration authorities have lifted the shadow of deportation from these bright and hardworking Dreamers, but Arizona insists on pursuing its own immigration policy aimed at keeping them in the dark."
She said that 87% of workers in Arizona, a state which has a poor public transportation network, drive to work.
"Rather than deny these young people the ability to drive – an everyday necessity for most people – our leaders should come together to enact long-term solutions that would allow our talented immigrant youth to achieve the American dream."
Brewer issued her order on 15 August, the day that the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) began accepting DACA applications. Brewer instructed agencies to "prevent DACA recipients from obtaining eligibility" for any "state identification including a driver's license" the lawsuit says. Arizona's motor vehicle division implemented Brewer's order on September 18.
Previous to the order, according to the lawsuit, DACA recipients would have been able to meet the requirements for a driving licence by submitting their employment authorisation documents. The legal challenge names Brewer as well as officials in the state's department for transportation.
Lopez, who has lived in the United States since she was four and is married to a US citizen, said: "It's hard to take my child to the doctor or help my two little brothers get to school and after school activities without being able to drive."
The high school graduate, who was granted federally deferred action status, including a work permit, in October, said: "Somebody offered me a job interview in Tempe (Arizona), which is about 25 miles away from where I live, but I had to turn it down because I'm not allowed to drive a car."
The lawsuit claims that Arizona's policy violates the supremacy clause of the US constitution by interfering with federal immigration law, and that it also violates the 14th amendment's equal protection clause by discriminating against certain non-citizens.
Linton Joaquin, general counsel of the National Immigration Law Center, said: "Young people like Alejandra have so much to contribute to Arizona. Unfortunately, her effort to fully participate in his community is stymied by governor Brewer's unlawful and wrong-headed executive order, which specifically targets immigrant youth who often know no other home."
An estimated 1.76 million young people in the United States are eligible for the DACA programme, including 80,000 in Arizona, according to the Migration Policy Institute, an independent, non-profit think tank in Washington DC. The USCS has deferred action to at least 53,275 individuals nationwide under the DACA programme, the lawsuit says.
Alessandra Soler, executive director of the ACLU of Arizona, said: "This is a shameless attack on our youth. When our youngest and brightest residents are prevented from getting licenses, going to school or work and pursuing their dreams, entire communities suffer."
The ACLU also said it is continuing to challenge Arizona's notorious SB 1070 immigration law. The US supreme court struck down many of the provisions of the state's SB 1070 law in June this year, but the most controversial part of the law – the clause known as the "show me your papers" provision – that instructs police to investigate the immigration status of those they suspect of being undocumented who they come across in the course of other policing matters – was upheld.

UPDATE: WE MUST UNDERSTAND THE FISCAL CLIFF

UPDATE:
It is imperative that ALL Americans understand the impact of the upcoming "Fiscal Cliff." I've made this illustration to help everyone understand the issues.
The stock market is currently being impacted and will continue to be impacted until Congress Compromises.
Why is the Stock Market impacted? Because investors become nervous when there is indecision (as we experienced during the Debt Ceiling discussions) and when they become nervous,  they move their investment dollars out of the stock market and into other types of investments.

It is very important that we support OUR President and OUR Congress in reaching a Compromise within the next few weeks. Republicans MUST listen to the voice of the American People and allow Tax CUTS to continue for ALL UP TO $250K and only End those for $$ above $250K. We ALL will be asked to support Reductions to various Programs. Let's listen to their discussions and support Compromise.

Susan Rice Attacks: Expert Outs Fox News for Hyping Benghazi for Political Reasons & for Being Wing of the Republican Party

Lincoln, Obama, Land of Immigrants and Equality for All!

My husband and I saw the film “Lincoln” this week. It was a story I thought I knew from History class. Lincoln freed the slaves. He was assassinated by John Wilkes Boothe. We had a civil war. The North won. The slaves were freed.

We’ve read countless books and seen countless movies about Lincoln and the Civil War. My husband has seen and loved most of them. He loved Gettysburg and I loved Gone With the Wind. We walked into “Lincoln” expecting the same. We were wrong.

We were stunned and amazed by the film. While the acting was brilliant, this film also told a new story. “Lincoln” focused on the politics of the time which is very similar to the politics of today. Do you remember the saying “The more things change, the more they stay the same?” This movie epitomizes this. While party names have changed, the politics have not.

In Lincoln’s time, politicians in the southern states advocated inequality. The rich and the powerful southerners (Big Business) advocated the use of Slaves to work the land and expand their businesses. The Northern Liberal/Humanitarians opposed Slavery and instead advocated Equality for ALL and a fair wage for workers. The Northern Liberal/Humanitarians voted President Lincoln into office.

The heart of the film is Lincoln’s fight to find the votes to pass the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery. In 1864, Lincoln realizes that as the South was tiring of war and the war was about to come to an end, it was urgent that the 13th amendment be passed before the war ended. His point was cleverly illustrated when he asked citizens who supported passing the 13th amendment why they supported it. They responded “to end the war.” He asked them if they would support passing the bill if the war ended. They said no. He asked them why. They said, “Well, you know. Ni—ers.” Their answer convinced his Secretary of State, William Seward, that Lincoln was right. They needed to move forward with passing the bill immediately.

Lincoln also discussed with Seward his belief in States’ rights, however sometimes, States were wrong and there were times when Federal law must rule. Abolishing Slavery – or any time State Laws promoted Inequality – were times when Federal Law must step in.

While Lincoln was a great orator, prolific in fact, it wasn’t his words that passed the 13th Amendment. It was his negotiation skills and behind the scenes tactics that passed the bill. While I’ve heard of these tactics, I didn’t know they were used to pass this bill. Lincoln used some shady characters to coerce and in some cases buy votes. This was nasty business, but this bill was important and no tactics were too low.

The opposition continually challenged Lincoln, using unscrupulous tactics, often misrepresenting his words and his actions. They insisted that states had the right to rule as they wanted. Lincoln’s Mission was to support the message of our Founding Fathers that All Men, including Blacks/Minorities, are Created Equal and no State Law could deny them that right. President Lincoln often quoted the words of Thomas Jefferson.

While the Slavery argument had been going on for decades, the Southern States seceded from the Union just weeks after Lincoln was elected – before he was actually sworn in on March 4, 1861. A month later, April 12, 1861, Civil War was declared.

On January 31, 1865, the 13th Amendment was passed by the House. General Lee surrendered at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. On April 15, 1865, President Lincoln was assassinated – a direct result of the passage of the 13th amendment. On May 9, 1865, the Civil War ended.

The President was killed because the Southern states were angry and remain angry – to this day --- that the 13th amendment was passed, slavery ended and President Lincoln ensured that Blacks and ALL Minorities are EQUAL under the Laws of our Land.

After watching this film, I thought of Lincoln and other Presidents like him. Roosevelt, Kennedy, Carter, Clinton and Obama have faced EXTREME adversity by the SAME groups that advocated against Lincoln for the SAME reasons --- All Men Are Created Equal! .They claim it is about States’ rights. The reality is, they do not accept the argument that ALL PEOPLE are created equal.
We are a Land of Immigrants, Yearning to Breathe Free. ALL PEOPLE -- ALL OF US are EQUAL and have the right to seek to achieve the American Dream.

As we move forward in our society, and as our President Barack Obama moves forward to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform and the Dream Act, it is imperative to understand, we are STILL fighting the same fight and we MUST support OUR PRESIDENT as he struggles to pass these very difficult laws into fruition.

Happy Thanksgiving 2012

Why Latinos Won't Vote for a Republican

Republicans clearly do not understand Latinos, nor do they understand our work ethic. Romney and other leading Republicans continue to say WE LATINOS want "Gifts." Republicans are extremely insulting and clearly don't understand Latinos!

No. We don't want gifts. We want to be treated EQUALLY. We want to be treated RESPECTFULLY.

If Republicans truly understood Latinos, they would KNOW that we, as children, are instilled with a HARD WORK ethic. As children, our parents taught us: "Work Hard. Do a Good Job. Never take hand-outs. Work for everything you earn. Never take welfare. It will destroy you."

My Dad worked 3 jobs. He worked in the factory. He was a painter for his own private business. He hauled saw dust for the factory. Dad was always working. Often he took us with him .. to learn.. to understand .. to instill in each of us a good work ethic. We thought he was strict. He was.

What so many Republicans, like Romney, don't understand is, WE DON'T WANT A HAND OUT. WE WANT EQUALITY.

Here is our Demographic:
1. Hard Working
2. Family Focused
3. Christian, Mostly Catholic
4. Humanitarian & Caring
5. Enjoy having a good time, but mostly with family.

Political Views:
1. Equality for All
2. Champions of the Underdogs
3. Will quietly demand equality and stand up for ourselves

Now LISTEN TO THIS ROMNEY: We may not ALL be Business Owners. We may not ALL be millionaires. However, we are ALL the Vital Cogs needed to Nation Build our Beautiful America.
Without the Planters there would be NO CROPS.
Without the Seamstresses, there would be NO CLOTHES.
Without the Foundation, there would be NO HOMES.

We don't ALL have to be Business Owners, although I know we have more and more Latino business owners.

People like you MUST UNDERSTAND that you Must Have the Middle Class, the workers in our democracy, in order to build and grow and continue to be the Greatest Nation on Earth.
Know this.
Respect this.
You don't understand this.
 Our President, Barack Obama does!

Congratulations to Miguel Cabrera! The American League's Most Valuable Player!

Romney and Ryan Blame their Loss on "Big Gifts to Latinos, Blacks & Young People."

Yesterday, Romney Said Obama Won Because He Gave ‘Gifts’ To Blacks, Latinos and young people. Ryan agreed with him.
We ALL know about the gifts Romney and Ryan received from the 1%.
The question I have for Romney: What GIFTs has anyone given to Blacks or Latinos?

My father taught us a very long time ago, NEVER accept welfare. NEVER accept handouts. The only way to be successful in life is to work HARD, every day.
We Latinos have a strong work ethic. WE have worked every day, all of our lives, since we were children. We NEVER take hand outs. We educate our children. We go to church. We believe in Family.

I am highly insulted at Romney and Ryan's remarks.
HOW DARE THEY!!!

Romney/Ryan: We Latinos didn't vote for you because of your ANTI Latino rhetoric. You supported the racial profiling laws like sb1070. You supported Sheriff Arpaio. You supported "Mass Voluntary Deportation." You supported drafting laws that make us 2nd Class Citizens.

I am glad Romney/Ryan lost.
I am tired of their rhetoric and their support of the Rich 1%.
GO AWAY Romney and Ryan. Your 15 minutes are UP!

BTW: What we need are statistics that show what rate of voters on social security, medicare and medicaid (the so called 47%) actually voted for Romney. Since many "Teapartiers are ON THIS LIST, My guess is that this rate is pretty high.

Local FBI Agent in Petraeus Case REVEALED!

John McCain Makes Fool of Himself!

Understanding the Petraeus Affair And How Republicans are Insanely Attempting to Blame Our President

URGENT: WE MUST UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FISCAL CLIFF!

It is imperative that ALL Americans understand the impact of the upcoming "Fiscal Cliff." I've made this illustration to help everyone understand the issues.
The stock market is currently being impacted and will continue to be impacted until Congress Compromises.
Why is the Stock Market impacted? Because investors become nervous when there is indecision (as we experienced during the Debt Ceiling discussions) and when they become nervous,  they move their investment dollars out of the stock market and into other types of investments.

It is very important that we support OUR President and OUR Congress in reaching a Compromise within the next few weeks. Republicans MUST listen to the voice of the American People and allow Tax CUTS to continue for ALL UP TO $250K and only End those for $$ above $250K. We ALL will be asked to support Reductions to various Programs. Let's listen to their discussions and support Compromise.

Sean Hannity & Fox News NOW Support "Amnesty"

IN NEWS THAT WILL DRIVE THE ANTI-LATINO RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS TOTALLY OFF THE EDGE:
Just ONE DAY after the GOP suffered a HUMILIATING Presidential DEFEAT that spotlighted the party's UNPOPULARITY with LATINOS, Fox News star Sean Hannity announced that his position on undocumented immigrants had "EVOLVED" and he now supports a pathway to citizenship. (SEE VIDEO).
Musing on his radio show about how his party could convince Latinos to switch parties, Hannity proposed a solution: "We've gotta get rid of the immigration issue altogether. It's simple for me to fix it. I think you control the border first, you create a pathway for those people that are here, you don't say you gotta home. And that is a position that I've evolved on. Because you know what--it just--it's gotta be resolved. The majority of people here--if some people have criminal records you can send' em home--but if people are here, law-abiding, participating, four years, their kids are born here... first secure the border, pathway to citizenship... then it's done. But you can't let the problem continue. It's gotta stop."

His declaration comes amid a wave of Republican soul-searching in the wake of Tuesday's loss. One of the central takeaways of the election was that the GOP has a serious demographics problem. Minorities -- Latinos, Blacks and Asians -- are NOT voting for them. Hannity & Fox pundits acknowledge that Republicans’ harsh rhetoric against Immigration (eg: Mass Self Deportation and Racial Profiling) has particularly offended Latinos. They realize that is they don’t change their agenda against Latinos, they will never win another election.

All of this hand-wringing by Hannity and Fox has to be killing the racist ANTIs like FAIR, Numbers USA, Alipac, Many in the Tea Party and others.  I’m curious as to what John Tanton, Roy Beck, Tancredo, Pat Buchanan, Steve King, Arpaio, Brewer and William Gheen have to say about Hannity & Fox’s change in attitude. I know it’s killing them!

CIA Chief David Petraeus Betrays Wife and Quits His Job

CIA chief David Petraeus resigned this week. This famous, former general was caught in the oldest game in the book. He had a sleazy affair with a journalist and co-author of his biography, Paula Broadwell.

What does this say about a man's ego. This reminds me of John Edwards. Both men had so much power with so much potential for more. Yet, they fell into the dastardly pit. They succumbed to a temptress' siren's call.

How could they do it?
How could they betray their wives who were their childhood sweethearts? How could they betray their families? How could they betray their country?

Petraeus' extramarital affair with the coauthor of his biography, Ms. Broadwell, came to light in a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) query into a completely unrelated compromise of a government computer system. Although no criminal charges are pending for Petraeus or Broadwell, it has been reported that Paula Broadwell has been under investigation by the FBI for suspicion of having access to Petraeus' email.

OUR President Sheds Tears When Thanking His Campaign Staff

Republicans and Many Democrats DO NOT UNDERSTAND the Latino Demographic Nor Our Agenda. In the Weeks and Months Ahead, I will be Dedicating My Blog to Helping America Understand the Latino Demographic!

Not many Republicans, Democrats or Pundits understand the demographics of the Latino electorate

Latinos extend across a broad spectrum. The vast majority of us, whose ancestors came decades ago, were immigrants. We came from SOUTH of the Border, whether it be from Mexico or Central/South America. Most of us from South of the Border have been here for Hundreds of Years. My Family arrived in America over 200 years ago.

Yet, the vast majority of Anglos (Northern European Americans - who arrived a century AFTER us) still consider US Immigrants!

I will be discussing this factor and the Latino Agenda on my blog, in detail, in the days and the weeks ahead.

Open Letter to OUR President FROM Latino Voters

Dear Mr. President,

As is evident by OUR Win Last night, 70% of ALL Latino Voters voted for you. We followed your first four years. We realize you are a good man, an honest man, a good husband, a good father and a Great President. You are a strong leader. You faced so much adversity these last four years.

You accomplished so much during your first four years and we appreciate you.
We know that you passed the Lilly Ledbetter Act, captured Osama Bin Laden, pulled us out of a wrongful war in Iraq - with a promise to bring home more of our troops and rule with diplomacy. We are respected again across the world. You passed the Affordable Care Act. You pushed through the Dream Policy. You corrected the wrongs that occurred during the Secure Communities Policy.

RACIAL PROFILING: So much Racial Profiling has occurred during the hate-filled racial profiling policies drafted by the far right, led by Kris Kobach and F.A.I.R. which began in Arizona and with Sheriff Arpaio. WE LATINOS HAVE EXPERIENCED SO MUCH HARM as these policies were rolled out across many other states. Let me state, here and now. WE LATINOS HATE BEING RACIALLY PROFILED and WE WILL NOT SIT STILL AND ALLOW THESE RACIAL PROFILING POLICIES TO CONTINUE. We are Demanding From You, Mr. PRESIDENT, to STOP THIS RACIAL PROFILING, ONCE AND FOR ALL!! NOW and Going Forward. THIS IS OUR PLEA! End this Immediately. NO AMERICAN SHOULD BE RACIALLY PROFILED!

HATE CRIMES: We know that you have forwarded our concerns to Attorney General, Eric Holder, to fight against Latino Hate Crimes, including the murder of .Marcelo Lucero, the Chilean Students and Luis Ramirez. We know that you stopped the ICE Raids and dramatically decreased the round-ups of immigrants sent to Private Prisons. We stood side by side with you as you fought against Sheriff Arpaio who wrongfully attacked you. Even though you did not pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform or the Full Dream Act in your First Term, WE AMERICAN LATINOS stood by you. We continue to stand by you. WE THE PEOPLE Support You.

Now,that your Second Term is about to begin, BEYOND ENDING RACIAL PROFILING AND ENDING HATE CRIMES, we ask:
1. Pass the FULL DREAM ACT: The time is right. Partner with Republicans. Now, even they realize this is the right thing to do. It will be easy. This can pass quickly. This will be a visible, immediate demonstration of your response to your many supporters.
2. Sheriff Arpaio: For Heaven's Sake. There is so much documentation and so many videos of his racial profiling and wrong doings. Please. Once and for all. Indict him for ALL OF HIS CRIMES.
3. Comprehensive Immigration Reform: Please begin a bi-partisan commission to FINALLY begin drafting a Bill. Include a pathway to citizenship.
4. STOP THE RACIAL PROFILING BILLS: As stated, this should be First but I am putting it 4th because I realize the complexity of this issue. Stop  bills like sb1070 -- those bills drafted in various states, drafted by kris kobach designed to racially profile ALL Latinos and people with  Brown Skin. For Heaven's sake.
This should be a no-brainer. WE LATINOS HATE THESE BILLS. We don't want to be the target during Arpaio "Suppression Sweeps."
Please understand. We just want to live our lives, just like everyone else. Heck. We've been here hundreds of years and the utter audacity of being subjected to these "sweeps" just because we have Brown Skin is not only demoralizing, it is a crime against Humanity. Just Stop It!
5. LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE NOT THE ORGANIZATIONS: Now I'm probably going to piss a few people off here. But let me tell you the truth. Listen to the Latino Americans Voters, NOT to large groups or organizations with Deep Pockets, claiming to represent us. WE Latino American Voters RALLIED AND VOTED FOR YOU because of 1 - 4 above, not because WE were coerced or cajoled by various organizations. We have been motivated by blogs, twitter, facebook and by own experiences. We are young. We are old. We are rich. We are poor. We come from every people - from every day Americans, NOT deep pocketed groups with their own agendas.
6. LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE. Start your own demographic groups. Rely on people WE respect like our Heroine Dolores Huerte, Luis Guitierrez, Raul Grijalva and the Hispanic Congressional Caucus. Listen to people, whose various ethnicities originated from Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central, Southern American and create a NEW task force.
Bring in our own stars who started from grass roots like Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, George Lopez.
Listen to our Bloggers. Latina Lista, Immigration Clearinghouse, Citizen Orange, Vivir Latino, Dreamer Prerna Lal, Unapologetic Mexican, Raciality, Indigenous Xicano, Yave Bennet, Dos Centavos, Long Island Wins, and me. We'll even include the Republican side like Ruben Naverette and Dee Dee Garcia Blase.

As I've listed, each of these items should not be tremendously difficult. All we are asking for is Justice, Equality, Fair Treatment, and a right to pursue the American Dream - recognizing that Education and Hard Work are the Great Equalizers. We are not Asking for a Hand-Out. We are just asking for a Hand Shake.

Thank You President Obama. We voted for you. We believe in You.

God Bless You. God Bless America.

With Much Love,
Dee

The Cultural Divide: Election 2012 - Your Vote Will Determine Our Future

The True Obama Girls Ask for Your Vote!

DEPORTATIONS: REPUBLICAN STATES' RACIAL PROFILING LAWS RESPONSIBLE NOT PRESIDENT OBAMA!

DEPORTATIONS! Republicans Lie to you and tell you President Obama's policies are the reason for increased Deportations. WRONG! The PRIMARY reason for the increase in Deportations is the Racial Profiling Policies in Republican States. The County with the HIGHEST RATE of Deportations in the entire Country is (wait for it) Arpaio's Maricopa County. Who wrote the racial profiling bills? Kris Kobach, Mitt Romney's Immigration expert. Mitt Romney who said he wants "Mass Voluntary Deportation" and will VETO the Dream Act on Day 1!
Here's the Statistical Analysis I did in May:As initially proposed, the Secure Communities Program should have worked. During these times of War, our Law Enforcement groups within Federal, State and Local communities should work together and they should search out and find dangerous and felonious criminals. They should utilize technology to help them to this end. The program should have been implemented flawlessly, with a focus on targeting felonious criminals. It was not. It was developed and introduced during the Bush Administration, broad-brush, with the focus of using technology for Deportation.

I’m a bit curious about the intent of the developers of the program. Were they taking into consideration the political agendas of the many local law enforcement agencies with “right wing” perspectives? Did they consider the potential for racial profiling? Did they consider the cost of the mandatory 48 hour holds and who would pay for these costs? Did they take into consideration the inaccuracies of IAFIS and the impact of misidentifying innocent (primarily Latino) citizens of wrong doing resulting in wrongful incarcerations? Did they plan for the expansion of costly private prisons?

It appears they did not effectively prioritize the program to focus on Felonious Criminals. Instead, the program has resulted in a very costly program with the end objective of Mass Deportation of all Undocumented Immigrants while Racially Profiling a high rate of innocent Latino Citizens.

In the summer of 2011, the President attempted to make corrections. He attempted to reprioritize the program to focus on Felonious Criminals. His efforts are facing extreme resistance by the Republican Party. The Republican base, particularly the Tea Party advocates, are pushing for Mass (voluntary) Deportation of the 11M here and they are using “Secure Communities” as their method of accomplishing their goals, all under the cover of protecting our country from terrorists. Their colleagues in various Hate Groups are demanding “Attrition through Enforcement.” Kris Kobach from the hate group FAIR and author of sb1070 is a surrogate for Mitt Romney. He has been a key spokesperson for stronger deportation measures. He is the author of many of the Anti Immigration Reform bills currently being advanced at the State level, in Republican governor states.

The problems with the “Secure Communities” program are primarily the fault of Republicans. Although some of the blame falls on the Obama Administration. They were too trustful in believing they could correct the abuses of the program with a statement, letter or ruling. They have been too slow in stopping the most abusive, corrupt sheriff in the History of America. Arpaio's racial profiling has continued. Congress has not moved forward in pushing Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

I am a strong supporter of our President and I do believe there are solutions to these problems. My recommendations to our President and his Administration in his 2nd term are as follows:

1. Indict Joe Arpaio. You have the evidence. Do it now, not only because he should be held responsible for all of his abuses, but his indictment will serve as a symbol to all abusers of power who blatantly racially profile. They too will be held accountable for their crimes.

2. Strengthen and Fine Tune/Streamline “Secure Communities” and change the name to “Secure America.” We all want the program to identify and deport dangerous felonious criminals. Work with local law enforcement to focus on Felonious Criminals (L1s) only. You will save Billions by streamlining the program plus you will speed up the process of deporting the Felonious criminals. Get a top 100 list – 2 decks of cards. Find them. Deport them. You would do more to protect America by chasing after the criminals and NOT the workers or the students. All of these saving will allow you to foot the bill for the holding of these felonious criminals.

3. Include America in on the conversation. Talk about Arpaio, the racial profiling, the Felonious Criminals, the costs – with no one willing to pay. You will get an argument from Republicans, but it is time to talk about it. We will help you. We will also ask the same questions to Republicans, to Romney. We will ask him “Do you support Racial Profiling?” “Do you support Arpaio’s abuses?” “Do you support Mass Deportation?”

Mr. President, we Latino Americans can help you in metamorphasizing this program to improve Security across America, significantly reduce costs and put an end to Racial Profiling. In your second term, we will not only support you but we expect you will pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform and hold racial profilers accountable for their actions.
