 WE TAKE CREDIT

 Traitor Hernandez

TheNewsMexico.com - 12/18/2001

"The Presidential Office for Migrants Abroad, created by President Vicente Fox to attend to the needs of Mexicans living in the U.S., may be closed due to budget cuts, Mexican daily El Universal reported."

"Conquest of Aztlan" exposed the office of Mexicans abroad as a "fifth-column" of invaders. It did so convincingly. We were the only organization to do this. "Conquest of Aztlan" has reached very important decision makers in our government.

We take credit for advancing the demise of The Office of Mexican Invaders of the United States.

Re: Red Rocky, Salt Lake City mayor

Opposing viewpoint
At the fiasco in Anaheim I talked to both sides, and both sides gave credible arguments for their position. However, I agree with the other side more. For instance, I SAW how the fight REALLY started, and it was not the "communists" or the "reconquistas" that started it.

Letter to mayor Rocky Anderson and his utterly ridiculous reply, part of which reads, "We also urge our own community to look beyond our differences in national origin and to see each other as fellow brothers and sisters, instead of as 'foreigners,' 'Mexicans,' and 'illegals.'

State, IRS help illegals get taxpayer numbers
...Taxpayer numbers -- which arrive on a card almost identical to a Social Security card -- also may help undocumented workers open bank accounts, she said.

Fox Greets Mexican Migrants

Mexican ID Outrage
An injustice is growing here in California by the issuance, and acceptance, of Mexican ID cards to those illegally in this country.
