Illegal immigrants have chutzpah.
They will crawl, burrow, dig, run, leap, and do just about anything to entire our country.
Once here, they will flaunt their illegal status, and shove directly in our faces their demands for services, programs, and “their rights.”
This past Sunday, at St. Anthony’s Church on 9th and Mitchell where I usher, an area that has a heavy Hispanic population, I noticed in the vestibule of the church on the tables, someone had left a large pile of fliers promoting a forum or seminar for immigrants sponsored by the group, “Voces de la Frontera.” Also on the tables were stacks of the latest “Voces de la Frontera” newspaper.
The newspaper included a column entitled, “KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.”
It read:
PROTECT YOUR IMMIGRATION STATUS
1) The right to remain silent: If you are arrested, you have the right not to answer the questions of law enforcement officials. Do not lie. Do not say anything except “I need to speak with my attorney.” (Gee, that form of English they’re willing to learn).
2) If you are arrested, follow these steps:
a) Do not reveal to the agents or the government anything about your immigration status.
b) Do not lie.
c) Do not give the officials false documents.
d) Do not turn in documentation from another country. If you do, the government can use this information in order to deport you.
e) Show them the card below.
The card reads:
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
If you are detained by immigration or the police:
Hand the card to the official, and remain silent
The card explains that you are exercising your right to refuse to answer any questions until you have consulted with a lawyer.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Please be informed that I am choosing to exercise my right to remain silent and the right to refuse to answer your questions. If I am detained, I request to contact an attorney immediately. I am also exercising my right to refuse to sign anything until I consult with my attorney. Thank you.
The column also offers advice on what to do if police or immigration comes to your workplace, detain you on the street or in a public place, and if arrested. One of the pieces of advice is to request bail.
Advocacy groups, like “Voces de la Frontera,” are providing how-to, stay out of jail cards to immigrants to flash when confronted by authorities. Even though here illegally, the immigrants, without knowing a lick of English, take out their handy dandy cards and demand the same rights of law-abiding U.S. citizens. They demand attorneys and bail.
By the way, the legal rights presentation the fliers in the back of my church were promoting is taking place later this month at a Milwaukee Public Schools’ high school….your tax dollars at work.
Come to America, illegally.
Get legal advice on how to deal with the authorities.
Learn about it, free, at a taxpayer supported public school.
America, what a country. A foolish, foolish country.
