Okay, who are these bozo’s in the uniforms (the brown berets)? So the illegals are forming an army on American soil?

I’m a peace-loving guy, but I hope I never see this in Memphis.

Update:

I have not been keeping up with the illegal immigration issue in recent months. I guess when John McCain threw those of us concerned about it under the Straight-Talk Express, I lost hope. But these Brown Berets have caused me to sit up and take notice again. So I thought I would do a little research.

The Brown Berets is a Latino rights advocacy group that grew out of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. The Modesto Brown Berets’ motto is “Culture, Community, Revolution.” – Modesto Brown Berets

Although they do not promote violence, the right is reserved…

We absolutely discourage our members from enlisting in the U.S. military. This institution has been used as a tool by the Power Elite for capital gain around the world. We believe youth should pursue the path of EDUCATION and LIBERATION, not destruction.

We will not utilize or instigate violence to achieve our goals, however, we reserve the right to defend ourselves by any means necessary. – Watsonville Brown Berets

Their view of illegal immigration is summarized below, it is their land…

We Have a Right

In accordance with history, we, as descendants of a people who are intricately connected to all the native people of this hemisphere as well as to these lands, do not believe we are “immigrants” in our own lands, but migrant people who have always traveled back and forth without considering artificial borderlines or governmental decrees. Not only in a historical, but in a contemporary sense do we have the right to pursue happiness, as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, which was signed by the United States in 1946. Our massive exodus as a people across racist borderlines are in direct result of U.S. foreign policy, namely neoliberal politics pushed by the ever-increasing shadow of capitalism and free-market theories, creating policies such as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), NAFTA, Plan Puebla-Panama (PPP), and the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), among others, which create a very heavy burden on the Mexican (and other countries’) working-class and exploit the natural resources so needed to live a decent lifestyle. We denounce any attempt to regulate the migration of people into any country without first creating equality among classes all around the world. We are aware it is capitalism which is the base of many ills all around the world, and we actively denounce it as long as it means ill will towards other people and profit over everything else. Although realistically, “immigration reform” is needed to help the people already living in the United States stay here, we believe the “immigration debate” needs to shift its focus to include mainly a debate about U.S. foreign policy and the impact it has had, and will continue to have, all around the world. We need to eliminate racist and exclusive concepts such as “illegal aliens” or “illegal immigrants” from our minds and learn the history behind immigration and why people migrate out of their home countries before pointing fingers and unfairly target mainly defenseless people as a direct result of our incompetence and stupidity. We need to fight against fascist immigration raids anywhere they pop-up and realize that there are more ties to racist history in the immigration debate other than these Gestapo-type terrorist attacks on our communities. Until fairness and equality exists around the world, until racism ceases to exist and true diversity is embraced, until then will we see a change in migration patterns and until then will “legal immigration” be a more viable option for many people around the world.

Until then, fuck all racist immigration laws! We will not cease to pursue a better life for our seeds! We are the people, and we will never be stopped! This is our land, and it is our right to exist!

BCR’s friend Tom Kovach has already done some work on this subject at Renew America that is worth a read. This seems to be a very active organization in California.
