We need talking points, give us your thoughts
We need some talking points for the upcoming rally that members can use when being addressed by the media or others. Please give some suggestions, such as the financial impact with facts cited from reliable sources, or social impacts on neighborhoods such as crime.
Please participate because your input is important. Some of you live great distances from where we’re having the rally, but your input can still be used. |

I don't have statistics at hand this moment, but:
The displacement of American workers in whole industries since the early 1980's. why real wages have fallen like a rock tossed into a well since the early 1980's. Education, costs and results now vs. 1960's - what has changed and why. Why is it that Utah spends the least on education with high results, and why California is cranking out illiterate kids with - regardless of what the CTA peddles - over half our runaway state budget going to education. This would have to be nuanced - Elements of Mexican and Latin American cultures which, if not diluted and assimilated to a great degree, brings Latin American problems with them. Such as: We at least have a pretension of blind justice in this country and a lot of times it works, but a Mexican will generally equate hiring an attorney with bribing the judge, as is the proper course in Mexico. The Mexican system of "good old boy" "networking", nepotism, ubiquitous bribery and shake downs in general and the palm greasing necessary in order to do business, and general corruption in which embezzlement from public and private employers is considered to be deserved compensation. It leaves our ciminally bent scum in high places far behind in the dust. Mexican fatalism and hopelessness for change imbedded within the culture and expressed through its citizens. Welfare fraud and federal subsidization of illegality needs to be brought out as well, but how to do it without being characterized as foaming at the mouth bigots. Perhaps pictures contrasting the homes of "Latino activist" legislators and others who live on the hill and run down barrios which they claim are "vibrant communities enriching America". Pre 1980 pictures depicting the change would probably be essential. It would be interesting to see what sort of home Janet Murguia lives in and where: making her living peddling racial discord, I bet she doesn't live in the middle of what she insists is good for the rest of us. Nor do I believe she would actually enjoy it. That might be a good exercise for other public and "activist" figures as well. How about the the reality disconnect and real estate gulf that Barbara Boxer has between herself the average American Citizen - and the fact that she doesn't have to live with the results of her preferred immigration legislation. I would like to see something which would show the difference between Mexican Nationals and those who pretend to be Mexican - and how many actually regard each other when no one else is around to see their dirt - but that truth would be hard to get across with the sheer mountain of propaganda which has been dispensed and digested over the last forty years and all the people who gain in some manner from perpetuating the myth.

Here is Murguia's official NCLR biography. She for sure doesn't slum around in San'tana.
She's probably as distant from Mexico as I am (white boy who grew up in California), and in the same reality disconnect as Boxer. It's all about race. Quote:

I haven't verified it, but this is supposed to be a Janet Murgia quote. If it really is, it just goes to show how whacked out a person can get:

She also had something to do with producing Desperate Housewives as well as everything else she has her fingers into..
