MESA, Arizona — Latino students and supporters rallied outside the Arizona Republican presidential debate on Wednesday to protest that ALL of the Republican Candidates’ oppose the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act allows certain non-citizen youth to apply for residency and citizenship after graduating from high school and completing two years of college or the military. It passed the House of Representatives in 2010 and received a majority of votes in the Senate, but failed due to a Republican filibuster.

TEA PARTY REPUBLICANS: THANK YOU FOR SELECTING THE MOST FLAWED CANDIDATE - NEWT GINGRICH!
TEA PARTY REPUBLICANS...THANK YOU FOR SELECTING THE MOST FLAWED CANDIDATE AND MAKING IT EASIER FOR OUR PRESIDENT, BARACK OBAMA, TO WIN IN 2012.
ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU!!
Newt! Philanderer Newt!
He cheated on his wife the first time.
He cheated on his next wife the next time.
He asked her for an OPEN MARRIAGE...all while he continued his promiscuous affair with his staffer.. the floozy .. with whom he is now married.
Newt told his cancer-ridden 2nd wife that his mistress Calista was OK with him having SEX with other women.
Then Newt divorced his second wife, cancer ridden, sending in the Divorce papers while she is on her Cancer Bed.
The Conservative Christian Leaders are supporting this philanderer. These so-called Christian Leaders are supporting this evil philanderer.
As they say, once a philanderer, always a philanderer.
It is obvious the Tea Partiers, the leaders among the Social Conservatives, and the Republican Leaders care NOTHING about morales, Christianity, Fidelity or ethics if they support Newt Gingrich.
Of course, when you think about the history of the so-called Christian Conservatives supporting the Conservative Christian agenda, many of them are scandal ridden and even though they very vocally are opposed to, including:
. Ted Haggard
. Jim Baker
. Jimmy Swaggart
. Larry Craig
(I could go on and on but my fingers are feeling pretty sleazy from just typing these names!)

Flip Flopper Mitt Romney Says He is For the Dream Act and For Immigration -- No Wait -- He Changed His Mind - No Wait - He Changed it Again! Say What?
Mitt Romney is one scary dude. He is leading the Repub Pack running for President right now. Gingrich and Perry say he is Gordon Gekko from Wall Street - a venture capitalist - Corporate Raider - who, when at Bain Capital,took over and ravaged businesses, laying off thousands - outsourcing offshore even more, and since Wall Street LOVES these ravages, Bains was rewarded by Wall Street and made Millions/Billions for Bain Investors and for Romney and his peers.
Gekko's favorite line was: "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good!"
As I remember 2008, the year of the Great Recession and Stock Dive during George Bush's term, was caused by Venture Capitalists and Corporate Raiders like Romney. Romney is an elitist. That is clear.
Romney is also a flip flopper. It is difficult to believe a word he says. So often, he has taken the opposite side of many issues, including:
HE WAS FOR AND AGAINST --
. IMMIGRATION
. ABORTION
. REAGAN'S PRINCIPLES
. GLOBAL WARMING
. ASSAULT WEAPONS
. TARP / THE STIMULUS / AUTO RESCUE
Now, sources are saying Mitt Romney is filming ads in Spanish, (He Speaks Spanish) to be played on Univision and other Latino venues. He will talk about his support of Immigration Issues, the Dream Act, the roots of his ancestors in Mexico and more. If Mitt becomes the candidate, as soon as these ads are available, I will post them.
The issue is: No One Can Believe Romney. He is the world's biggest flip - flopper. His decisions will be based on the moods of his backers, whoever provided him the most PAC Monies. Very Scary Stuff!!

Should Latinos Support President Obama in the 2012 Election without passage of CIR and the Dream Act? I say "Seguro Que Si"
As my long time readers know, I am a long time advocate of the passage of Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR). I have supported CIR since 2006, prior to the introduction of the CIR Act of 2007, popularly known as the "McCain - Kennedy" Bill. The CIR Act of 2007 was a good bill. It was bi-partisan. However, it did not pass. The rabid ANTI groups, most Republicans, now turned Tea Partiers, rallied against it. They used derogatory language and misleading statements to derail this noble cause.The Bill was beautiful and prolific in its simplicity. Here are the highlights:
1. Enforce our Borders with trained Border Patrol and technology
2. Employer Sanctions, especially for Exploitive Employers
3. Provide a pathway to citizenship for those here that are felony free.
4. Establish the Dream Act, allowing students to pay in-state tuition or serve in the Military.
While the Bush Administration said they supported the CIR bill, they also catered to the ANTI crowd by conducting massive ICE Raids all across the country, incarcerating whole families, including women and children. They conducted these raids in Poultry and Meatpacking plants, Construction, and manufacturing plants. Then, in 2008, as if to up the ante, they conducted MASSIVE raids in Postville Iowa and Laurel, MS. In Postville, they arrested nearly 600 workers, putting them in cattle barns - treating them like animals - as they shipped them off to unknown detention centers in Texas. They did the same in Laurel, MS, this time nearly 700 workers were shipped - most to the LaSalle Detention Center in Jena, LA. which is part of the GEO Group, one of the largest private prison owners and huge contributors to the RNC and to the Bush Administration.
These actions were over the top, blatant, and so flagrant in Republican's intent to fill the pockets of their political cronies - just in case McCain lost the 2008 Presidential election.
These actions were also obvious to many Human Rights and Latino groups who raised a rallying cry, "STOP THE ABUSE!" This rallying cry motivated Latinos to go to the polls in massive numbers, at the highest rate in history, to vote for Hope and Change - to Vote for Barack Obama in the 2008 elections.
President Obama has kept many promises.
1. Stop Worker ICE Raids: He has stopped the worker ICE Raids. He said "no mas" to the despicable, inhumane raids in Postville, IA and in Lauren, MS.
2. Focus and only deport Felonious Criminals: The INTENT of the "Secure Communities Act" was for ICE to focus on felonious criminals for deportation. These felonious criminals have been deported in massive numbers. No more "very long stays" to feed the pockets of the cronies. Instead these felonious criminals were deported. This caused the numbers of deportees to increase. Additionally, over zealous local police and ICE officers took it upon themselves to detain and deport Mothers and Students. They should not have been included in the deportations. Some in the media and local Humanitarians have been very vocal about these detainees. This resulted in:
3. President Obama, via his Presidential authority, to exclude non-felonious criminals and Dream Students from deportation. This just happened this summer.
President Obama has said he supports CIR and he supports the Dream Act. He also supports Jobs for All of us and an improved economy. However, we can all see the Republican opposition he is facing. All we have to do is Look and Listen to what is happening. Or as my mother would say "Mira Nomas!"
1. 2012 Republican GOP Debates: All we have to do is listen to what is being said in the 2012 Republican Presidential Debates. Hermain Cain wants to ELECTROCUTE US! They ALL have begged for Arpayaso's support! Other Republicanos want to shoot us like Pigs! "Mira Nomas!"
2. Republican Racial Profiling Bills and Latino HATE Crimes: All we have to do is see what the Republicans are advocating with their Latino Racial Profiling and Hate Laws in state after state after state. "Mira Nomas!"
3. Republican Arpayaso - Racial Profiling / Hates the President: Look at Arapio in Arizona - the new Bull Connor. Look how he has abused his power and abused Latinos. Remember the pictures of children in church being scared to death while his masked volunteer goon deputies circled the Confirmation Mass? He also HATES President Obama. Just look at the antics of his "Cold Case Posse" re-investigating our President's citizenship. Arpayaso treats ALL of us, including the President, as if we were "Illeegals!" "Mira Nomas!"
4. Dirty Tricks by Republican Governors: There are numerous Republican Governors that are CHANGING The Voting Laws to Stop MINORITIES from Voting. One Example: In Texas, they've changed the law. While they ALLOW a Gun License to serve as your picture ID, they do NOT allow young people to use their College pictre ID. "Mira Nomas!"
5. Republican/Tea Party Thuggery: Did you also know that there are many "pretend" Latinos who say they are Latinos and blog against our President? You see them ALL THE TIME in newspaper Comment Sections and Blogs URGING Latinos NOT TO VOTE! on Election Day! This is ALL part of their dirty tricks to try and get as many of us (Latinos) to stay home and NOT VOTE! Republican Thuggery ala Watergate! "Mira Nomas!"
I believe in our President! I believe in the American Dream! I believe that WE THE PEOPLE can turn our Economy around and create a Better World for our Children! When my viewers and commenters on my Facebook page ASK me if I support President Obama in the 2012 Presidential election, I say what my Mother would say: "Seguro Que Si!"
