Cain Proposes Electrified Border Fence

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Saturday that part of his immigration policy would be to build an electrified fence on the country’s border with Mexico that could kill people trying to enter the country illegally.
The remarks, which came at two campaign rallies in Tennessee as part of a barnstorming bus tour across the state, drew loud cheers from crowds of several hundred people at each rally. At the second stop, in Harriman, Tenn., Mr. Cain added that he also would consider using military troops “with real guns and real bullets” on the border to stop illegal immigration.
The remarks were among the most pointed yet by Mr. Cain about illegal immigration, and they come as he is enjoying a surge in national political polls on the back of his victory in a recent Florida straw poll. They also follow on remarks made by Representative Michele Bachmann on Saturday during a speech on illegal immigration in Iowa, in which she also advocated a border fence.
It is not the first time that Mr. Cain has floated the idea of an electrified fence. He has told the story many times of a caller to his former radio show who chastised him for talking about building a border fence, saying that such an idea was impractical. Mr. Cain often says he told the caller that he had recently returned from China, and if the Chinese could build the Great Wall then America could build a border fence.
Last summer, after President Obama remarked that some Republicans seemed to want a moat filled with alligators in addition to a fence, Mr. Cain responded by saying that he would indeed add an alligator-filled moat to his proposed fence, which would be topped with electrified barbed wire.
In his remarks on Saturday, Mr. Cain appeared to go a step further. Speaking to a rally sponsored by the Roane County Tea Party, Mr. Cain said that part of his plan would be to “secure the border for real” with a fence.
“It’s going to be 20 feet high. It’s going to have barbed wire on the top. It’s going to be electrified. And there’s going to be a sign on the other side saying, ‘It will kill you — Warning.’” At an earlier rally, on the campus of Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, Tenn., he added that the sign would be written “in English and in Spanish.”
“This nation has always been a nation with wide open doors,” Mr. Cain said at the second rally. “We want to make it easy for people to come through the front door. And we’re going to shut off the back door so you don’t have to sneak into America.”
Saying that some critics have told him that his remarks about building a fence are insensitive, Mr. Cain said that the fault lies with the actions of some illegal immigrants. “It’s insensitive for them to be killing our citizens, killing our border agents,” he said. “That’s what’s insensitive. And that mess has to stop.”
In addition using a fence and unspecified “technology” to cut down on illegal immigration, Mr. Cain added: “If we have to put troops with real guns and real bullets for part of it, we can do that too.”
Brent Wilkes, Vice Chair of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, said Mr. Cain’s remarks were reflective of increasingly harsh prescriptions for dealing with illegal immigration being offered by Republican presidential candidates.
“These folks who come across the border are at most committing a misdemeanor,” Mr. Wilkes said. “To suggest that they would be electrocuted or shot would be to treat them harsher than we treat murderers or rapists. It’s a real distortion of the rule of law.”
Mr. Wilkes said Mr. Cain is mistaken when he implies that it would be easy for would-be Mexican immigrants to enter the country legally. In fact, he said, there are few if any visas available for Mexican nationals who do not have a firm job offer in this country or who do not already have relatives living here legally.
After long being considered an also-ran in the Republican field, Mr. Cain has surged into the spotlight following his victory in the Florida straw poll and because of interest in his unusual 9-9-9 tax plan, which would set personal and business income tax rates at 9 percent each and institute a 9 percent national sales tax, eliminating all other federal taxes.
The Tennessee tour, which began Friday near Memphis, Mr. Cain’s birthplace, has drawn crowds of several hundred supporters and curious onlookers at each of eight stops.

Ocupemos ICE

Durante todos mis años como agente de la Patrulla Fronteriza/INS/ICE,siempre me he preguntado qué pasaría si todos los indocumentados decidieran dejar de jugar este juego.

Nota: Me refiero a los mexicanos indocumentados ya que tengo mayor familiaridad con ellos.

El juego opera bajo estas reglas: La élite binacional de México y los Estados Unidos ha creado una
subclasificación de trabajadores desechables. La élite mexicana intercambia a sus propios y miserables ciudadanos mexicanos por sus remesas, ayuda externa, fínodos de la Iniciativa Mérida, ganancias del narcotráfico, del petróleo y del intercambio comercial. La élite de los Estados Unidos recibe mano de obra barata, capital político, ganancias del TLCAN, del petróleo, del comercio, de las maquiladoras y de la venta de armas.

Lo más impresionante es que la élite binacional, equivalente al 1% de la población, ¡no paga nada en todo este juego mientras que recibe todas las ganancias! Mientras tanto, los contribuyentes de Estados Unidos, los mexicanos pobres y las clases medias de ambas naciones pagan todos los platos rotos. Desde el año 2006, 40 mil ciudadanos mexicanos y al menos cien ciudadanos estadounidenses (dos de ellos agentes de seguridad) han muerto en el transcurso de la guerra contra las drogas financiada por nuestro país.

El juego se mantiene gracias a que dicho 1% utiliza la propaganda sobre temas migratorios para culpar a los mexicanos indocumentados. La propaganda mantiene el status quo de esta pequeña minoría mientras victimiza a los indocumentados y a los contribuyentes de Estados Unidos. Los votantes de mi país, quienes están demasiado abrumados por las otras crisis provocadas por ese mismo 1%, no sólo se tragan la
propaganda que les transmiten, sino los falsos argumentos de que hay soluciones coercitivas para asegurar la frontera.

El juego también requiere que los indocumentados interpreten sus roles como peones ilegales en este
esquema. Deben cruzar la frontera de ambos países como si fueran animales. Deben esconderse dentro de los Estados Unidos como los judíos en la Alemania nazi. Deben aceptar su destino... ¿o no?

¿Qué pasaría si todos los indocumentados ocuparan las oficinas de ICE como lo están haciendo los manifestantes contra Wall Street? ¿Qué sucedería si miles se entregan al mismo tiempo? Sí, todos los indocumentados que en estos momentos son "infractores no criminales de baja prioridad" simplemente llegaran a las oficinas de ICE y dijeran "bien, aquí estamos, fuera de las sombras, la decisión es de ustedes".

El juego como lo conocemos terminará cuando una de las partes deje de jugarlo. Sólo Dios sabe que el 1% jamás se detendrá, así que está en manos de los indocumentados, que forman parte del 99% restante,detener esta dinámica.

He sido llamado traidor y comunista por pensar de esta forma. Pero tengo dos preguntas para quienes me achacan estos adjetivos:

1) ¿Estarían en este país los mexicanos indocumentados (que integran el 50% de todos los migrantes sin papeles dentro de Estados Unidos) si pudieran ganar un salario decente para vivir con sus familias en sus comunidades?

2) ¿Por qué el gobierno de los Estados Unidos rara vez critica los abusos contra los derechos humanos del corrupto gobierno de México?

Occupy the Border

The time in Mexico was over 40,000 + deaths ago.
 
The elite who run Washington and Los Pinos (Mexico's version of the White House) make too much money off of drug and immigration wars to do anything to stop them.

Obama coddles Calderon and turns a blind eye to the rest.  After all, Mexican oil is real important to said bi-national elite.  So is Mexican trade.  So is Mexican labor.  So are profits from NAFTA.  So are remittances sent home. 

This needs to be worked from the bottom up. 

Mexicans from Mexico and American supporters need to Occupy the Border.  Flood the system with drug war asylum exiles.  The undocumented within the US need to Occupy ICE.  Make Obama keep his word.  Flood the system with "low priority" (non criminal) immigration cases .  Break the system so they will have to fix it.

Hit them where it hurts them most.  Occupy the Border and slow down the billion dollar a day trade.  Get the attention of the world media.  Expose these failed and murderous drug and immigration wars at an international level.

Mississippi Madness


 In response to LA Times Article: One man helps mount Mississippi's anti-illegal-immigrant movement
 http://discussions.latimes.com/20/lanews/la-na-mississipi-immigration-20111008/10

Do you ever wonder why these "law" makers seldom if ever criticize the corrupt, civil rights abusing Mexican government for its part in our failed immigration?
Do you actually think that the undocumented from Mexico would come here or stay here if they were paid a decent living wage at home with their families?  These people love Mexico and they love their families.  They come here because the Mexican government offers them nothing.  They have to feed their families.  They are coerced and lured by the elite on both sides to come to the U.S.  Please Google remittances from Mexico and see where their earnings go.
There is a reason that illegal immigration is never solved.  It is about the rape of the good people of Mexico and the good tax payers of the US.  Meanwhile, the 1% of both countries is laughing all the way to the bank.
American voters need to see the big picture behind the elite's immigration propaganda.  Then we will have a chance to fix this.

Occupy ICE

In all my years as a US Border Patrol/INS/ICE agent, I always wondered what would happen if the undocumented stopped playing the game. 
Note:  I speak of the Mexican undocumented because it is they who I am most familiar with.

Here is the game.  The bi-national U.S./Mexican 1% elite have created a sub class of dispensable human laborers.  The Mexican elite trade their own Mexican citizen poor for remittances, foreign aid, Merida funds, drug profits, oil profits, and trade.  The US elite receive cheap labor, political capital, NAFTA profits, oil, trade, maquiladoras, and arms profits in this deal. 

The real kicker - the bi-national 1% elite pays nothing in this game while receiving all of the profits!  Meanwhile, U.S. taxpayers, the Mexican poor and the middle classes of both countries pay in full for their parts.  Since 2006, forty thousand Mexican citizens and at least one hundred US citizens (two of which were U.S. agents) have died in the US backed Mexican drug war.          
 The game depends upon the 1% using immigration propaganda to blame the Mexican undocumented.  Propaganda maintains the 1%'s status quo while victimizing the undocumented and U.S. taxpayers.  American voters who are too overwhelmed by the other crises that the 1% has created believe not only the elites' propaganda, but also the elites' false claim that there is an enforcement fix to "secure" this border!  

The game also calls for the undocumented to play their part.  The undocumented have to accept their roles as illegal pawns in this game.  They have to run across the U.S./Mexican border like animals.  They have to hide in the U.S. like the Jews did in Nazi Germany.  They have to accept their fate. 
Or do they?

What would happen if the undocumented Occupied ICE offices like other protestors are occupying Wall Street?  What if they turned themselves in to ICE by the thousands? 
Yes, all of those undocumented who are "low priority non-criminals" simply go to ICE and say “Okay here we are, out of the shadows, and now make a decision."

The game as we know it ends when one side or the other stops playing it.  God only knows that the 1% will never stop, so it is up to the undocumented members of the 99% to make it stop.

I have been called a communist and a traitor for thinking this way.  I have two questions for those who say that:

#1 Would the Mexican undocumented (who make up approximately 50% of the all the undocumented in the US) either come or stay in the U.S. if they could make a decent living wage working safely at home with their families?

#2 Why does the American government seldom if ever criticize the corrupt, civil rights abusing Mexican government?

Former Border Patrol agent John Randolph calls for protest: Pt. 1


Former Border Patrol agent John Randolph calls for protest: Pt. 1

Luke Witman's photo

On Wednesday, September 7, nearly 200 demonstrators gathered near a community college in Charlotte, NC to protest the deportation of undocumented students in this country. At the rally, at least 10 young undocumented individuals publicly announced that they were living in this country illegally, all of whom were later arrested. To many, the bold tactics of this group of protesters may have seemed exceptionally risky. However, to former Border Patrol agent turned migrant activist John Randolph, this act represents an opening step towards what he hopes will become a more widespread effort among undocumented individuals in this country to step out of the shadows and fight for reform of this country’s immigration system.
Speaking to the risk the Charlotte students took in publicly announcing their undocumented status, Randolph argues, “I don’t think the Dream Act kids are going to put up with the government again making promises and doing nothing. . . They know they can not wait twenty or thirty years until something is actually done.” And Randolph has a plan that he argues could help push the U.S. government to actually make the necessary reforms it has continuously put off making.

John Randolph worked for twenty-six years as a Border Patrol agent in the city of El Cajon, Calif., just east of San Diego. After a career spent witnessing Border Patrol colleagues as well as their undocumented targets frequently injured and sometimes killed as a result of the agency’s pursuits, Randolph retired in frustration in 2005. Today he uses his sad, stressful, yet enlightening experiences working at the border to spread awareness of immigrant issues and the need for dramatic U.S. policy reform.
“In my mind, frustration was a big part of what we were being paid to do and accept. That was the job,” Randolph says about his work with the Border Patrol. He assumes that his colleagues in the agency largely shared this sense of frustration, but he says that they did not spend a great deal of time discussing it. “I think that we focused upon what we were doing in the moment and did not worry about the big picture,” he says. For him, if Border Patrol agents were to look too deeply at the job they were doing, their frustration would make doing the job impossible.
For Randolph, the exasperation he felt working for the Border Patrol came from what he saw as the failure of both the U.S. and Mexican governments to effectively protect their citizens. Time and again, the two countries have failed to curb Mexican immigration into the U.S. or to tackle the violence that is raging at the border. For Randolph, this failure is calculated, as both the Mexican government, overpowered by influential criminal syndicates, as well as the U.S. government, overpowered by corporate elites, profit off of this situation at the expense of human life. U.S. corporations need the cheap labor they get through undocumented migration into this country, while Mexican drug cartels profit off of drug and human trafficking .Neither of these two powerful groups stands to benefit from effectively closing off this border or attacking the criminal activity that pervades it.
Randolph argues, therefore, that it would be foolhardy to wait for either of these two countries’ governments to solve the problems at the border. For him, it is crucial that Mexican and U.S. citizens take matters into their own hands and come together to fight for change.

John Randolph
Proceeds From CD Sales to Benefit Farmworker Organization RIDGWAY – Former U.S. Border Patrol agent and now retired Ridgway resident John Randolph has seen it all. He’s seen fellow agents killed in the line of duty. He’s seen Mexicans die seeking a better life for their families, for work. He’s seen families torn apart and violent criminals set free.

After 26 years of working with immigration, Randolph retired in 2005. With illegal immigration and horrid drug cartel violence still plaguing the borderlands today, Randolph continues to deal with the emotional sadness and stress caused by his former job. He recently turned to music as a form of therapy, and has recorded a CD of his music, including an original song titled “Two Pesos Pobres,” to promote awareness of immigrant issues.

On Dec. 8, Randolph will perform “Two Pesos Pobres” at the Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs conference in New Orleans. The same nonprofit organization will benefit from sales of Randolph’s CD.

Written in both Spanish and English, “Two Pesos Pobres” describes Randolph’s feelings about his years working as a border patrol agent. Greatly affected by the people he saw getting hurt and killed, Randolph faced constant grief over the fact that 98 percent of the Mexicans he arrested were individuals trying to make a better life in the U.S. so they could feed their families at home. Not only was it dehumanizing to these people to be chased around in the dark, it was dehumanizing for Randolph to do it.

“What I never understood and still do not understand – why do we arrest the people who pick our fruits and vegetables for us?” Randolph told The Watch. “Why do they have to flee their country? Why do we want and need these workers on one hand but treat them as a sub-class of human beings on the other?”

For many who try to cross the border, Mexicans, as stated in the introduction of “Two Pesos Pobres,” face a tough and often dangerous choice in seeking a better life.

Campesinos Mexicanos will you survive?

Pobreza, corupcion, y narco-violencia

It’s harder and harder, to cross the line

Will you get through, or will you die trying?

Y Los Americanos, ellos no comprenden…


Interested in combining his love for the Spanish language with his career, Randolph joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 1979 after attending a four-month academy and passing post academy classes, oral boards and field officer reviews. He spent his first years patrolling the backcountry of San Diego and, at first, it was a perfect job.

“I actually remember thinking, ‘I can’t believe they are paying me to do this job.’ I worked in the very peaceful and scenic areas of eastern San Diego,” Randolph said.

However, things quickly changed when his patrol was moved to northern San Diego County where he worked city patrol in Escondido, Oceanside, and all cities south to the I-8 freeway. The reality there was constant arrests, often with stressful car and foot pursuits. During one traffic stop, Randolph was exiting the passenger seat of his squad car when the stopped vehicle took off. Instead of waiting for Randolph to get back in the car, his partner accelerated, forcing Randolph to let go of the moving squad car and roll onto the paved street.

“I remember shouting for joy because I knew I just missed hitting my head and getting killed,” he said. “Needless to say, I never rode with that agent again.”

Randolph said his border patrol job got worse as he watched the freeway for cars packed with people being smuggled north. One dark night he witnessed a load car driver jump over the freeway’s divide to escape arrest. There was a large gap between the overpass lanes and the Mexican man, only 20-years-old, fell to his death.

“I had to guard the body until the local police and FBI investigated the case,” he said. “It is a wonder that one of my co-workers did not follow this man over the divide.”

Hopelessly poor in a desperate land

Houses of pallets, they do what they can

Campesinos Mexicanos – they farm to survive

Necesitan trabajo, without it they’ll die

Sin papeles legales – they run for their lives

Cosechas Americanas – al Norte they arrive

Los ninos se lloran, ‘apa – a donde vas?

Their families are starving – what is the cause?


In another instance, Randolph observed a young Mexican woman running into drainage channels or “tubes” on the I-805 Freeway. It was night and the woman didn’t know that the tube dropped from six feet in height to five.

“She hit this drop running at full speed,” he said. “We took her to the hospital with severe head and facial injuries… Sometimes they would run and sometimes they wouldn’t. We saw people get smacked on the freeway a lot.”

Randolph also had fellow agents killed in the line of duty. One was shot while sitting in a surveillance van; the other was shot to death during an undercover operation.

The constant deaths left Randolph questioning, was the loss of life worth it? Was it worth it to for the immigrants to run to the U.S.? Was the patrolling effective? For many it was just a game that often turned deadly.

“They knew it was a game,” he said. “As did we. Sometimes we would catch people and send them back to Mexico. They would leave us by saying, ‘See you tomorrow.’ We didn’t have the resources to stop them. It wasn’t like they had any animosity toward us. This was just something we were both doing. The whole thing seemed so silly and it has turned into a horrible mess.”

They love this new country, they love USA

They start their new families aqui they will stay

Por favor, please forgive them for crossing your line

They seek a new future, aqui on your side


Randolph makes clear that he holds no favor for criminal aliens who come to the U.S. and break laws. “The offices that I worked in rightly deported thousands of criminals every year,” he said. With that, though, Randolph still doesn’t understand why the U.S. arrests the people who pick its fruits and vegetables. So far, he is convinced that the “ineffective” manner in which immigration law is applied is by design.

“If we seal the border, Mexico will collapse and American interests there fail. If we seal the border, U.S. mega agricultural corporations will lose their never-ending supply of cheap labor,” he said, adding that lost in all of this are the lives of people who simply want to work for a better life. “I don’t want them to be forgotten. They are overlooked. We are so used to the convenience of going to the store and buying vegetables and we don’t realize how it got there and how the people who picked it got here.”

Yet, Randolph said he also understands U.S. taxpayers’ frustration with the idea of providing public funds to support Mexican aliens “It is all a real mess,” he said.

For Randolph, writing and performing “Two Pesos Pobres” is therapeutic. He regularly experiences posttraumatic stress-like symptoms from his past working as an agent.

“I dream about this stuff almost nightly,” he said. After writing the song, he sent it out to various government agencies that help immigrants. Almost immediately, the Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs, which provides assistance and a voice for men, women and children who prepare and harvest food, invited him to perform the song in New Orleans.

To coincide with that event, Randolph will sell the CD containing “Two Pesos” and nine other songs, for $5-$10, depending on what people can afford. The proceeds from those album sales will be donated to the Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs.

“I am so appreciative of what they do and what they are allowing me to do,” he said. This is not about me making money.”

To purchase the album, email Randolph at j_m_randolph@hotmail.com or call 970/626-3105. Anyone interested can also listen to a live version of the song at youtube.com/user/randee51 or a studio version at www.muzlink.com/artist0011517.code.

Tell the NYPD to stop the brutality and respect the rights of protestors


Defend Occupy Wall Street!
Take action!
Clicking here will automatically add your name to this petition to Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly:
Automatically add your name:
Take action now!
Dear John,
Not a single banker has gone to jail for crimes that lead to the financial meltdown. But now over 1,000 protesters have been arrested in the inspiring Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City.
The occupation of Wall Street has inspired a nationwide movement in the spirit of Wisconsin.
But there has been a powerful backlash against peaceful protesters who are using both their right to public assembly and tactics of nonviolent civil disobedience to call attention to the fact that our government has bailed out the wealthiest Americans but has done little to help middle and working class Americans who have lost their jobs and had their homes foreclosed on.
The protest is building momentum with a huge solidarity march today that CREDO and Other 98% members, progressive organizations and labor are joining. However the very existence of Occupy Wall Street could be endangered by strongarm NYPD tactics aimed at intimidating protesters and ending their three week stand against the big Wall Street banks.
Many of the rank and file "blue shirts" of the NYPD have shown great poise, respect, and even moments of solidarity with the protestors. After-all they are members of the 99% of America that has been victimized by Wall St.
However, NYPD leadership has used brutal techniques to break up the protests. In an incident last week, a police officer attacked nonviolent protesters with pepper spray. There are multiple videos of the attack on four women protesters who did nothing to provoke the officer's action. The New York Times reported that the officer in question "looked as if he were spraying cockroaches."1
The officer involved in that attack was not a rank and file cop. He was a deputy inspector with supervisory responsibilities for the police action. What's more, he has a history of violating the civil rights of protesters and is currently facing legal action for accusations of wrongful arrest and civil rights violations at the 2004 Republican National Convention demonstrations.2
There have been other incidents of police abuse. But the documented attack on protesters by a high-ranking NYPD officer demonstrates that this is incident isn't simply the collateral damage of a tense and confusing situation. The police are roughing up protesters in an attempt to break up the Occupy Wall Street protest.
Today, tens of thousands will march in solidarity with the 99 percent and the Occupy Wall Street protesters. But we must ensure that after the march is over and the news cameras are out of sight that the police do not continue their campaign of violence and intimidation to stop the momentum building at the Wall Street protests.
We have heard from our friends on the ground that the most important thing people can do who cannot come down and support the protests in person is to ensure that the Mayor and the Police Commissioner do not drive them out of the park which is serving as the base for Occupy Wall Street protests.
It's important that the Mayor and Police Commissioner know that the eyes of people across the country are on them, and that we consider it an attack on democracy and not just an individual protester when the NYPD systematically uses intimidation and violence with the intent of suppressing the ongoing protests.

¿Necesita Alguien Papeles Para Sumarse a la "Ocupación de Wall Street"?


Mil gracias a Erich Moncada y Radio Bemba 95.5 FM Hermosillo, Sonora, México, para la traducción de Ingles a Español.

¿Necesita alguien papeles para sumarse a la "Ocupación de Wall Street"?

¿Necesita alguien de papeles legales para poder ser reconocido como miembro del 99% de las personas que están ocupando Wall Street? ¿No se han dedicado los delincuentes de Wall Street y del sistema de inmigración corporativa a violar los derechos de los mexicanos indocumentados? ¿No es cierto que sus programas como el TLCAN o la Guerra Contra las Drogas han obligado a muchos mexicanos indocumentados a emigrar hacia los Estados Unidos mientras simultáneamente los presionan a formar parte de ese 99 por ciento?

Probablemente deberíamos empezar a deportar a los criminales de Wall Street hacia sus propias prisiones migratorias mientras liberamos a sus víctimas que las ocupan legalmente. Invito a todos los Chicos del Dream Act y a otras víctimas indocumentadas inocentes de este sistema de avaricia y migración corporativa a convertirse en ocupantes morales y legítimos.

De hecho, después de que pongamos en evidencia a los avaros por lo que son, muchos de ustedes tendrán la opción de regresar a sus países de origen donde podrán recibir salarios decentes, humanos y suficientes
para sobrevivir.

US Taxpayers, Mexican Undocumented and Occupy Wall Street


US taxpayers are being raped by the same elite who rape the Mexican undocumented.   Yet many voters  blame the undocumented, and not the elite.
   
Here is why the elite on both sides of the border rape not only US taxpaying citizens like lola, but the Mexican undocumented too.   Extreme greed because of NAFTA, US/Mexican trade, Mexican oil, profits from the US/Mexican drug industry complex, and cheap labor.

Of course the Mexican government gets millions in Merida funding, aid, and remittances sent back home by its own people.  That is the trade-off between the bi-national elite.  The losers of this deal are the American taxpayers and the Mexican people.  Forty thousand Mexican and some one hundred US citizens (including two US agents) have been killed due to the US back war for drugs in Mexico.

OWS is going to challenge all of these failed drug and immigration war policies. 
As a retired US Border Patrol/INS/ICE agent, I encourage all abused US taxpayers, Dream Act kids, Mexican undocumented, and Mexicans drug war exiles to join the protests and stop this financial, human life, and human rights tyranny.
