I am Hispanic. I am an American. I am a Minuteman. These terms are not contradictory.
I urge the citizens of Kansas City to question the actions of the National Council of La Raza, a group that claims to stand for civil rights but extorts your mayor with threats of defamation and boycott if their demands are not met — demands that a grandmotherly civic leader be terminated for her affiliation with a patriotic organization. I find their actions demeaning to all Hispanic Americans, and undermining of our civil liberty and patriotism.
Our Minuteman mission is peaceful and responsible for saving the lives of hundreds who entered our country illegally and were left to die in the desert, be forced into prostitution or otherwise exploited for their cheap labor.
As citizens, we have a moral obligation to provide immigrants a safe passage — by our rules — while also protecting the citizens of the United States from invasion, disease and criminal behavior. The immigration problems we face can be resolved when employers, elected officials, the judicial system and law enforcement agencies at the local, state and national levels work together to enforce all immigration laws.
