Chicanos / Latinos Anticipate Big President Obama “Immigration” Move Within Purview of the Constitution
Gary Dorr is NezPerce who works with Lakota warriors in the Dakotas, also Veteran of our United States Armed Forces writes:
We’re all in the same boat of Broken Treaties. And we’ve all been subjected to the imaginary border drawn on a map, irrespective of traditional, ceded, and un-ceded territory. There have been illegal “takings” of land and territory that should be righted, but probably never will. All this from the “immigrants” who came here seeking their own freedom from tyranny.
Chicanos / Latinos Anticipate Big President Obama “Immigration” Move Within Purview of the Constitution
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. – Genesis 50:20
Phoenix, AZ — Our women-led independent voter group is in support of President Obama utilizing his executive authority within the purview of our Constitution of the United States. What was intended to do harm, our Creator intended it for good when “broad discretion” language was highlighted by Justice Anthony Kennedy who wrote the Court’s 5-3 opinion in Arizona v. United States, and joined by Chief Justice John Roberts. Both Roberts and Kennedy are Republicans.
We know that executive action will not include the entire 11 million but this is a very BIG beginning. We hope that the Obama administration will consider giving discretion firstly to the veterans of our United States military who served honorably and who are in fear of deportation. Though approximately half of the 11 million are expected to be given prosecutorial discretion by the Obama administration, this is the time the Republican Party ought to re-evaluate their 2012 anti-immigrant RNC platform in order to contribute to a unique opportunity that will enable them to come up with solutions regarding the other half of the 11 million affected. We would like to remind Republicans the resistance of taxation without representation by the original Tea Party and ask they see the billions of dollars into our tax coffers from undocumented immigrants who pay into our state and federal tax system without representation.
Chicanos and Latinos have proven our American patriotism over and over again with the blood we have spilled in past American wars — the indigenous natives have a special tie and bond to this soil and we will continue to do what it takes to preserve our environment moving forward.
Ronald Reagan once said: “….in 1620, a group of families dared to cross a mighty ocean to build a future for themselves in a new world. When they arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, they formed what they called a “compact,” an agreement among themselves to build a community and abide by its laws”.
Though compacts were important to these new immigrants of 1620, Native American treaties to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo affecting the indigenous continue to get ignored. Major networks such as FOX News, ABC, NBC, and CBS minimize a historic moment affecting millions of the original indigenous natives to this land but are there to capitalize with ideas such as FOX News Latino when they come to the Chicano / Latino buying power trough.
We first give thanks to our Creator with regard to hearing our cries, and also President Barack Obama who gave the Republican Party 6 years to work on immigration reform but to no avail. It is now time for #ImmigrationAction before the holidays.

Native American & Chicano Coalition to Obama: Veto Koch / Pipeline XL After Ecologists Issue Disaster Warning
The Native American / Indigenous Chicano Mexican-American Coalition are asking President Barack Obama to veto the Keystone Pipeline XL bill that violates treaties, rapes our earth and water and negatively impacts our environment. Native Americans and the indigenous Xicano community can no longer stand idle with continued broken treaties and continued raping of our earth.
Furthermore ecologists have issued a disaster warning to the Keystone XL regard, and the Koch Brothers (who have a history of violating environmental laws) will not protect the American midwesterner from earthquake disasters from their deep oil drilling that is affecting our earth and creating earthquakes as recent as May 2014. Those living in the midwest do not have earthquake proof structures California has adopted and the Koch Brothers should pay in advance in order to ensure midwestern Americans are safe!
Disaster Warning: The Area Under The Keystone XL Pipeline Is Likely To Experience Earthquakes
“….the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) issued an advisory warning of an increased likelihood of “damaging earthquakes” as a result of the increased number of small and moderate shocks in central and north-central Oklahoma. Both the USGS and OGS reported that there have been a stunning 183 earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 and greater in the Sooner state between October 2013 and April 2014. The two agencies issued the warning advisory because the increase in the rate of earthquakes above 3.0 on the Richter Scale since last October increases the possibility of a “damaging” quake of 5.0 magnitude or higher in central Oklahoma as a result of injecting chemical-laden water used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) of tight rock formations to “fracture” rock deep underground to extract oil and gas…”
Gary Dorr, Native American activist states:
This is a pipeline that goes THROUGH the United States not TO the United States. All the profit goes out into the Mexican Gulf in a tax free International Oil Trade Zone. The only thing that comes to the United States is the extreme risk of putting 4 carcinogenic compounds into diluted Bitumen inside a 36 inch pipe at 1,600 psi.
Our coalition is focusing on these 11 Democrats in the current Democratic-led Senate and we expect them to do the right thing for the people — not $elf-interests. And there will be a backlash against Democratic House of Representatives who have already supported it by independent key swing voters during the next election cycle.

From Buttonvalley:
Last year: “On Monday, the leak from a water pipe at the Suncor oil-sands site saw an estimated 350,000 litres of industrial waste water pour into the Athabasca over a 10-hour period, causing “a short-term, negligible impact on the river,” according to the company.” This followed another huge leak in 2011. You could spend hours on Google reading about the leaky tar sands mining operations. Here are just a few of the facts about tar sands mining.
- Oil sands mining is licensed to use twice the amount of fresh water that the entire city of Calgary uses in a year. The water requirements for oil sands projects range from 2.5 to 4.0 barrels of water for each barrel of oil produced.
- Oil sands mining is licensed to use twice the amount of fresh water that the entire city of Calgary uses in a year. The water requirements for oil sands projects range from 2.5 to 4.0 barrels of water for each barrel of oil produced.
- At least 90% of the fresh water used in the oil sands ends up in tailing lakes so toxic thatpropane cannons and floating scarecrows are used to keep ducks from landing in them.
- The toxic tailing lakes are considered one of the largest human-made structures in the world. The toxic lakes in Northern Alberta span 50 square kilometers and can be seen from space.
- A 2003 report concluded that “an accident related to the failure of one of the oil sands tailings ponds could have catastrophic impact in the aquatic ecosystem of the Mackenzie River Basin due to the size of these lakes and their proximity to the Athabasca River.”

Chicano POW Of Nazi Slave Camp / Veteran Anthony Acevedo’s Contribution to the Holocaust Memorial Museum
Army Medic Anthony C. Acevedo recorded names in a diary of fallen comrades in a Nazi slave camp.
As we end this Veteran’s Day, I want to highlight a Mexican American Chicano Veteran who broke his silence about 6 years ago. He was so scarred with regard to his horrific experiences in a Nazi camp — but thank God he survived.
I recently saw a video of Army medic Anthony C. Acevedo in a documentary with regard to Nazi Germany and Hitler and I was moved to my core when I saw Acevedo recalling events. Anthony desperately wanted to help his dying comrade(s) and begged the Nazis for permission to help the dying. Anthony was a medic and wanted to apply his training to help his fellow man. In once instance, Anthony watched a Nazi soldier dump ice water on his ailing comrade sending his Army buddy into immediate shock and death. Acevedo cries uncontrollably telling that story and it haunts him to this day.
If it hadn’t been for Acevedo documenting and writing the many names of his fellow Americans who died in a Nazi slave labor camp, many families would not have the closure they have today. I implore my fellow Chicanos to see this video. It’s excruciating to hear, but it will solidify how important it is to strengthen the Jewish and Chicano rapport we are building. We are both a people who struggled as a result of our ethnic identities. Mexican indigenous and other indigenous Latinos who do not benefit from Cuban amnesty continue to struggle today, and we will not forget the green card soldier veterans who were willing to sacrifice their lives for this great Nation in order to become a proud American citizen. Some have already been deported after serving this great Nation and some are at risk of being deported even to this day. We made a plea to the Obama administration on this day, and we hope the “powers that be” will grant the indigenous / immigrant soldiers relief for honorably serving our Nation. They will not be forgotten.
Moving forward, may patriotic Chicanos continue to help those who cannot help themselves and are struggling.
Acevedo catalogued the atrocities in a diary he kept hidden in his pants, using a Sheaffer fountain pen to record what he saw all around. When the soldiers were on their forced death march, Acevedo asked to use his pen for a tracheotomy to save a soldier named George Buddeski. Metz refused. “You’re going to kill him then,” Acevedo responded. Metz grabbed a rifle from a guard and cracked the young medic across his face. Acevedo suffered permanent nerve damage from the blow.

Now Is The Time For Pro Life Groups To Help 6 mo. Baby Who Survived Immigrant Mother Beaten To Death
A Pro Life Call To Help 6 month Baby Miraculously Delivered By C-Section
By DeeDee Garcia Blase
We were the first to report the story of an undocumented pregnant Mexican woman who was beaten to death in English. There were news stories regarding the woman who was beaten to a pulp and hospitalized, but few people knew she died until surviving members of Paola Delgado-Polanco were asking for financial help to bring the body back to Mexico and to help the miracle baby (delivered by c-section) who is in critical condition right now.
I wonder, and my gut instinct tells me that anti-immigrant sentiment and the dehumanization of undocumented immigrants played a role in nonchalant reporting. After all, many of us hear and continue to hear time and time again public political officials refer to immigrants as pigs, cockroaches, cattle and so forth. In fact, some political officials have advocated shooting them.
As a former long life Republican, now proud independent — nothing affected me quite like the dehumanizing term of “anchor baby” because I used to be a staunch pro life activist who volunteered my time to help the Arizona Right To Life and other pro life causes. Things took a turn when the Arizona Republican former Sen. Russell Pearce wanted to deny brown babies born in the U.S.A. their right to citizenship under the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. The day the now ousted Senator Russell Pearce began attacks on our 14th Amendment / birthright citizenship in Arizona legislative hearings was the day Arizonans For Better Government filed recall papers. The day chosen to file recall paperwork was essentially a pro life symbol — not just an economic immigrant one for me. There were 2 recall Russell Pearce Groups, but Arizonans For Better Government were the first.
Pro life leaders wanted me to put the pro life issue before my legal immigration reform activism, however, the story of Paola Delgado Polanco can give an example to pro life leaders of Catholic-leaning pro life organizations why legal immigration reform is important. Reports show that undocumented immigrant women fear reporting her abuser for fear of getting deported. In other words, pro life organizations must support additional means, too, for undocumented immigrant mothers to feel safe in reporting a domestic abuser without fear in order for them to be strong for their babies, too.
According to the UK Guardian:
A pregnant woman who was beaten to death by her boyfriend who assaulted with a baseball bat has died, but not before giving birth to a baby girl.
Police say 21-year-old Paola Delgado-Polanco, who was originally from Mexico, was pronounced dead on Wednesday morning after being violently assaulted at her trailer park home in Delaware.
Miss Polanco was found by paramedics and died just hours later from her injuries.
Before she died, she gave birth to a baby girl who was born three months premature.
The newborn is listed in critical but stable condition at Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware.
…
Paola’s family in Puente de Camotlan in Mexico are hoping that people may be able to donate to help bring her body back to her home country.
They have set up a page which they also hope will help to raise some funds to help care for her newborn baby girl which the family will now look after.
We implore pro life leaders to help us help the 6 month preemie baby alive. The baby is in critical condition, and the family needs help and prayers.
The family writes:
(ENGLISH)
Paola Eden Delagado Polanco was a young thriving girl and full of life, with charming simplicity and humility. She died October 29 at her 21 years as a victim of domestic violence caused by her boyfriend in Bear, Delaware. Paola was six months pregnant, and by a miracle the baby survived. God has plans for all of us and Paola is now in the kingdom of heaven with our Heavenly Father. She was beautiful, but her inner beauty was far more radiant than her physical attractiveness. We urge support for funeral expenses and to send her body to rest in her home town of Puente de Camotlan Nayarit, Mexico. We also ask for your help in the expenses for her premature baby girl who has a long journey ahead of her. Thank you and may God bless you .– The Delgado Polanco Family

Brown lives matter, and I hope pro life organizations get a better understanding why we must protect undocumented mothers first with our continued legal immigration reform advocacy. This dilemma is sort of like the “chicken before laying the egg” thing.
Brown Lives Matter: Does GOP dehumanizing of immigrants affect reporting when immigrant woman dies of domestic violence?
October is supposed to be domestic violence awareness month — but that does not seem to be the case in Bear, Delaware, when a pregnant woman of 6 months was reported being beat and hospitalized. The hospital staff was able to save the 6 month preemie baby. A presser was issued by the New Castle County police department notifying media of the hospitalization, however, no presser was conducted regarding the woman’s death beyond their October 20, 2014, communications. Information regarding festivals, square dances and the like were discovered on the New Castle County PD press release page, but we could not locate news of the death — only by word of mouth.
Had agencies or news outlets reported the death of this young lady, the giving hearts of American people may have learned faster how to help the now motherless baby with resources to help pay for the expense of a funeral and preemie baby needs. Since the immigrant woman died on October 29th, 2014, it would have given Bear, Delaware, the chance to educate the people in their region the horrors of domestic violence and how it may sometimes lead to a tragic death and story. We believe more and more people should look for possible signs in helping those who are suffering from domestic abuse and we should be better with this sort of education to this regard.
According to the surviving members of the woman who was abused to death:
Paola Eden Delagado Polanco was a young thriving girl and full of life, with charming simplicity and humility. She died October 29 at her 21 years as a victim of domestic violence caused by her boyfriend in Bear, Delaware. Paola was six months pregnant, and by a miracle the baby survived. God has plans for all of us and Paola is now in the kingdom of heaven with our Heavenly Father. She was beautiful, but her inner beauty was far more radiant than her physical attractiveness. We urge support for funeral expenses and to send her body to rest in her home town of Puente de Camotlan Nayarit, Mexico. We also ask for your help in the expenses for her premature baby girl who has a long journey ahead of her. Thank you and may God bless you .
– The Delgado Polanco Family
As legal immigration reform supporters, we ought to consider how the anti-immigrant sentiment fueled by Republican bigotry (when they adopted self deportation ideas with the blessing of Kris Kobach) contributed to the dehumanization of immigrants. Could the sentiment contributed to nonchalant reporting because some view immigrants as less than human or as an equal?
It is shameful Delaware Online did not report this abuse and death leaving behind a precious innocent baby in need of community support when the mother died on October 29 and during Domestic Violence Awareness month.
As we embark Dia de los Muertos, may word of mouth and social media be sufficient to help the needs of the grieving family and the surviving 6 month preemie that is currently hospitalized. We implore those who can give to give what theyu can to help this family — even if it is $5.00 because a little will go a long way collectively. It is a miracle the baby survived.
