Nativist, racist and fear-mongering hate groups are working hard to drive their narrative on immigration. We couldn’t just stand idly on the sidelines. So…
We confronted them directly and this is what they had to say!
We know very well that if we don’t speak up, they will speak for us!
The worst part of it is that our politicians are using the narrative as anti-immigration reform arguments, sometimes even word for word! For years now, these groups have successfully infused their message into the national immigration debate. They have co-opted local politicians and national figures which then turn the absurd into acceptable talking points:”More punishment”, “Militarize the border”, “Massive deportations”, “More Enforcement.” This has resulted in dangerous policies that have led to flagrant violation of human rights. We need to spread the word and counter this absurdity.
Share this with your friends and family; let them know where the anti-immigrant rhetoric is born!
Once again and thanks to you, together we are making an impact.
Yours,
Axel Caballero and the Cuéntame team

In my effort to help give more awareness to immigration, reform and what it means to America, which, as we all know is not just sensitive but a controversial topic, it tends to get responses that are very supportive or are extremely negative . Please don’t get me wrong, i appreciate the responses. So , if we agree to disagree but feel passionate about a topic or two … so be it! So, just to give a background; originally i posted the announcement given by email to all who support immigration reform and President Obama, an adjustment to immigration rules:below you can find the statement from Katherine Archuleta, a link to sign the petition and a call to stand with President Obama …also, the repsonse and objection to immigration as well as reform which some feel is a disguise for amnesty… sigh. My response was that i did not respond well to statements in CAPITAL LETTERS and a rundown of my racial background …
In a smart, strategic change to our immigration policy, President Obama is making sure that our immigration courts will focus on cases involving people who have committed crimes or are a security risk, rather than on “low-priority” cases involving young people who were brought here as small children and know no other home, or veterans and military spouses. Show you stand with him by passing on this good news to your friends:

National Political Director
Obama for America
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN 1986, WHEN THEY ENACTED THE IMMIGRATION CONTROL AND REFORM ACT. What makes you think they are not lying to us again?
Millions were given Amnesty under the Simpson/Mazzoli bill, with an outcome of 6 million and a path to citizenship. A good many had rushed processing, with major problems they way it was originally performed. On top of this was CHAIN MIGRATION, which added even more family members, which ended up eating away at Social Security safety net, with not a dime coming from their pockets. Each year taxpayers are forced by the court to care financially for illegal aliens and their children. Over a 100 billion a year is drained from the US treasury and States, with no end in sight. President Obama cannot survive the 2012 election campaign, without the vote of maximum number of minorities, legal and illegal.
In America since the immigration lax enforcement, the criminals from the dregs of the gutters have been turning up here. Hit and run drivers have been escalating, along with drunken foreigners who have been mowing down innocent citizens. The worst states on the borders are full of drug dealers, people smugglers, children and women molesters and heinous murders. This is the abject time when E-verify must be mandated for every workplace and “Secure Communities” must be enforced to its full capability.
The Democratic parties, with Liberal undertones are unconcerned that–ONLY—U.S. citizens can vote? Learn about widespread voter fraud, that the US government pretends is negligible–it’s not? More is available to read at “Judicial Watch” that illustrates that both Washington and certain states are rife with corruption. Our last hope is the TEA PARTY, THE PEOPLE’S PARTY of all Americans, who will turn the tide of Obama’s executive order to limit the flow of illegal alien deportations. Just like the President Obama’s health care program, his executive order is full of gaping loopholes, so there is convincing probability that illegal aliens will be returned to the streets.
Rest assured the word is already out about Obama’s clemency campaign that will invigorate millions to arrive from around the world; but mostly from countries south of the US border.
THE ONLY STATES THAT ARE SAFE FROM ECONOMICAL OCCUPATION OF ILLEGAL ALIENS IS ARIZONA, ALABAMA AND GEORGIA. THEIR LEGISLATORS DECIDED TO ENACT POLICING LAWS, SO THEIR CITIZENS AND RESIDENTS DIDN’T GET STUCK WITH UNFUNDED MANDATE BILLS FROM WASHINGTON. STATES THAT REMAIN UNCONCERNED ABOUT THEIR LEGAL POPULATIONS, SUCH AS CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA, WHO ARE NOW DEMANDING MORE TAXES TO PAY FOR THESE INCURSIONS. BOTH STATES ARE STRAINING AGAINST LIBERAL POLITICIANS, GIVING UNHEARD OF WELFARE PAYMENTS.
Taxpayers are already being forced to pay for the education, medical care and welfare for illegal migrants and immigrants? So how much more money is citizens and residents expected to pay from their dwindling wages? Illegal alien children are well taken care of with your tax dollars that includes food stamps and cash payments. While many American citizens live in dire poverty. Something is seriously wrong with this picture?
The TEA PARTY has become a mammoth grassroots movement of tens of millions of one- minded Americans from all racial and religious backgrounds, political parties, no matter what the Leftists party blabber? The TEA PARTY members have the shared focused values of limited government, individual freedoms, personal responsibility, “fair” free markets and above all else returning authority to the States and the people. We need a flat tax system, so that everybody whose domain is the United States-pays. No more IRS loopholes to escape through? The TEA PARTY is about reforming all political parties and control, so the key principles of our US Constitution, once again is the foundation on which this nation stands. The TEA PARTY is the hope of America’s future; for without it the rot will continue to eat away in House & Senate. The TEA PARTY will enforce the 1986 (ICRA), with no further Amnesties, ever.

President Obama heard our message loud and clear. Yesterday, he held a major meeting on immigration reform to give the process new life. -Click on link below

This jump start for the immigration reform debate is the direct result of thousands of us demanding that he keep his campaign promises. He knows that our immigration system is broken, that our families are being torn apart and we need relief. But we need to make sure the President keeps his word.
Tell the President we support his efforts, but words are not enough -Click on link below

We need action. He has heard us loud and clear, but will he listen? Bringing immigration reform back is a good first step, but it’s not enough.
Thank you,
