ACLU: Police Enforcing Immigration Laws ‘Terrorize’ America

Posted on May 22, 2008

Here is the latest propaganda from the open border advocates at the ACLU. This isn’t poorly chosen semantics, it’s a carefully chosen description of their true feelings. It doesn’t reveal anything about their agenda, because they are completely open with their hostility toward those protecting our borders.

State and local police who help enforce federal immigration laws are targeting Latinos and “terrorizing” people across the United States, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said at a briefing on Capitol Hill on Monday.

Of course, it isn’t mentioned that the majority of people breaking our immigration laws are Latinos to counter-balance the ACLU’s accusation of racial targeting. That wouldn’t fit the mold of propaganda. It only adds insult to injury that they would describe those enforcing the law as “terrorizing” America, especially from an organization that specializes in scaremongering America to keep its coffers full and defends the real terrorists. Of course, this isn’t the first time the ACLU have used “terror” rhetoric to demonize their opposition. In 2005, Louisian ACLU Chief, Joe Cook described the Tangipahoa Parish School Board members as terrorists because they wanted to pray. It’s just one of their choice vocabulary words.

“Local law enforcement has been given the green light to engage in racial profiling,” Joanne Lin, a legislative counsel with the ACLU, said at the briefing held by the Appleseed Foundation, a non-profit network of 16 public interest justice centers in the United States and Mexico.

“Massive immigration sweeps are terrorizing communities across the country, including those who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents and other lawful workers,” she stated.

Lin, on a panel with five other speakers, said the ACLU opposes section 287(g) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which allows the Department of Homeland Security and its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division to enter into partnerships with state and local law enforcement agencies, in which local officers are authorized to operate as federal immigration agents. The designated police officers have been trained and are under the supervision of ICE officers.

“It’s always been the ACLU’s position that immigration is exclusively a federal law,” Lin said. “Our view is that it’s not the appropriate constitutional use of state and local power.”

The ACLU have always had the position to thwart any immigration enforcement they can and openly advocate open borders. Don’t be fooled by their rhetoric, their agenda is transparent.

One Response to “ACLU: Police Enforcing Immigration Laws ‘Terrorize’ America”

I’m not terrorized by the authorities raid illegal immigrant locations. In fact, I support those raids. The illegals are infringing in my neighborhood, my country, so I’m actually terrorized by them.
