The more I see the fury perpetrated against undocumented immigrants by immigration officials (USIC), despite the clamor from the business sector, churches and labor groups to stop the immigration raids of non-criminal, hard working people, the more I get to see the hate from those who rule from the top, the ones who give the order.
The more I see war and war, and more money to support it, the more I see the true intentions of the bankers who control the United States to possess the world and its people.
And I get more confused about North Americans who keep turning their eyes the other ways to the problems the country is facing: a continued deterioration of the dollar abroad, the economy as a whole plummeting while artificially injecting into the economy with phony money created by the Federal Reserve Bank without gold or silver backing.
And this is being done after the current real estate fiasco that is making the middle class to lose their homes.
Latin America, meanwhile, continues going on a different political path, away from that of Washington’s sphere of influence to liberate themselves from the tentacles of the International Monetary Fund that have kept their countries in misery for decades wile ruled by U.S.-backed dictatorial regimes.
At home, in our Latino communities, the pain is being felt like never before, on the children population, the future of the nation.
While Latinos – mainly those undocumented who have been contributing to our ailing Social Security fund for the main population to benefit – who are and have been the backbone of the U.S. economy, keep being targeted and persecuted when things are not going well everywhere else. They are hunted like animals.
The children, those whose parents came into the country undocumented, are feeling the emotional trauma caused by the immigration raids, on top of the economic distress caused in the absence of their parents when they are taken away from their homes and deported.
A new report released today by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) and the Urban Institute found that for every two people detained in immigration enforcement operations, one child is left behind. Two-thirds of these children are U.S. citizens and a similar share is under age 10.
“The local governments and communities we studied did not have adequate resources to deal with children’s needs in the aftermath of the raids,” said Randy Capps, a demographer with the nonpartisan Urban Institute, according to a Wednesday’s written statement.
“At the same time, the federal government did not have in place policies and procedures that explicitly consider the protection of children,” Capps said.
According to information I’ve found while researching the internet, what is going on now is a state of emergency in the U.S., but no one is going to tell you that. No matter how hard the media tries to make things look promising and normal in the economy, things are not going right. The U.S. national debt owed to the international banks, is so huge that there is no way it can be paid. And soon, our dollar could be replace by either the Euro or the Renminbi, the name of the Chinese currency.
To disguise reality, they (the international bankers) keep fi ghting the war on terrorism sending more money to Iraq and taking away our constitutional rights at home little by little. So they start with the hunting of undocumented immigrants, and don’t care about the children left behind.
In other related news, one ultimate act of control of every one of us will be the implementation of the Real ID, which is supposed to be implemented in 2008.
If you read this editorial, please don’t accept it. Some have said that the U.S. Mexican fence being built now is not to stop illegal immigration, rather to stop us from leaving. Many states are turning against it, although they are saying is because of its high cost.
With the Real ID, which will reveal every commercial, medical transaction your engage in, they won’t let you out if you owe money, etc. Do not accept it. It’s not to control terrorism, but to control us as human beings with political and fi nancial ends.
