National Alliance for Immigrant Rights

NAIR is a new umbrella organization founded at the National Immigrant Rights Strategy Convention in Chicago on August 11-13, 2006.

One of the leaders of the convention was Jorge Mujica, who is also an official with Mexico's PRD party. Other delegates to the convention have close ties to that party. (Hundreds Meet to Launch New Immigrant Rights Alliance).

Miller Brewing supported the convention in some way, perhaps going as far as providing funding.

Aside, of course, from it tasting bad that is. It's not just that they, in what looks like a form letter that they're sending out to those who complain, admit to providing "support for a recent immigration convention in Chicago". That support was described here and Miller replied here. What's important is that the convention they supported is the one where the National Alliance for Immigrant Rights was formed, and as previously indicated, one of the leaders of that convention is an official with a Mexican political party. And, it's also this quote from the letter: We support the free movement...

Immigration march organizers have foreign links - 09/01/06

Many of those who attended the recent immigration marches are foreign citizens who are here illegally. But, it doesn't stop there. For instance, one rally organizer is a former Mexican consul general and another is an official with a Mexican political party. Not surprisingly, the MSM has barely mentioned such links. The reader is strongly encouraged to contact media sources and suggest that instead of simply reporting what goes on at future marches they do some journalism and look into any links between organizers and foreign governments or institutions.

More on the Chicago NAIR meeting from Workers World - 08/22/06

Around August 11, a few hundred illegal immigration supporters met near Chicago and created the "National Alliance for Immigrant Rights". One of their leaders is an official with Mexico's PRD party, and the article "Immigrant rights activists meet near Chicago" from Workers World has a little bit more on who's involved and what they want: workers.org/2006/us/immigrant-rights-0824 Of course, it's necessary to take what they write with a grain of salt because the article contains things that could have been written by chief reactionary George Bush himself: Nineteen Minutemen vigilantes stood...

Tainted National Alliance for Immigrant Rights to march on Labor Day - 08/16/06

The National Alliance for Immigrant Rights is organizing pro-illegal immigration marches for Labor Day in, among others, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Dallas, and New York. That's according to one of their spokespersons, Nativo Lopez of the Hermandad Mexicana Nacional. And, as the first link points out, one of the leaders of the NAIR is an official with Mexico's PRD Party. So, who's linked to these extremists and Fifth Columnists? The protest in Long Beach will include: Teamsters, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and other union members will join pro-illegal immigrant...

National Alliance for Immigrant Rights: Pro-illegal immigration groups seek power - 08/14/06

On Sunday around 400 people from 25 states met in Chicago to try to organize the disparate groups that assisted in getting illegal aliens and their supporters to march in our streets and demand rights to which they aren't entitled: "Pro-immigration groups seek formal political power" by Oscar Avila and Antonio Olivo. They formed a group called the "National Alliance for Immigrant Rights". One of the leaders is Jorge Mujica, an official with the Mexican political party PRD. At least to me, that completely taints everyone else involved in the group, and the reader is strongly encouraged to...
