PROTEST JANUARY 20TH – OBAMA FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE
OBAMA FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE SEES NO IMMIGRATION REFORM
HERMANDAD MEXICANA AND MAPA DEMAND OBAMA FULFILL PROMISE
Los Angeles – Hermanded Mexicana Nacional and the Mexican American Political Association along with other organizations will protest President Barack Obama’s first year in office as a promise unfulfilled to the immigrant communities.
“January 20th concludes the first year in office for President Obama with great lament due to the extraordinarily aggressive enforcement tactics directed against working class immigrant families completely opposite to what candidate Obama promised during the presidential campaign,” declared Nativo V. Lopez, President National of Hermandad Mexicana and MAPA.
Hermandad Mexicana and MAPA call on the immigrant community, their families, and allies to participate in two actions directed at President Obama to demand immediate White House action to pursue fair and humane immigration reform, particularly the legalization of all undocumented persons, this year.
The actions occur in coordination with immigrants’ rights coalitions and networks nationally that are organizing similar protests during the month of January. These are the first public protest actions in favor of favorable and humane immigration reform in 2010.
The two protests will occur at the following locations:
Wednesday, January 20, 2010 – (5:00 p.m.)
Federal Building, 300 N. Los Angeles St., Los Angeles
Wednesday, January 20, 2010 – (5:00 p.m.)
Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement – 34 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana

National President

Yeah ok, the Americans are going to love their president giving foregin nationalist citizenship when 10% of the country is out of work.. Very smart.. All this is going to do is make Americans angry that the president is not closing down the border.
Wise up stop listening to idiots like Lopez!
Stay low, concentrate on educating your kids, learn the lanuage and make yourself an asset not a liability to this country.
YOU have no rights as an illegal Alien.
All lopez is going to do is make it harder for you. Listen to a immigrant not a activist who likes the power of supposed leadership!
Do not piss, an already pissed off nation of over burderned people!
i saw nativio lopez name on this and started laughing . this guy wants open borders , illegals to have the same rights as legal people and wants spanish spoken in schools . a great leeader for reform im sure in the protest they will wave the mexican flag and have all the signs in spanish .
I would support a non-residence licence valid only for driving a motor vehicle, with an insurance requirement. Federal law with the ID act prohibited regular licences and Obama is correct I beleive in enforcing federal law in respect to labor laws that prohibit employing undocumented persons.
Visas are a different issue, that process in a disater and needs to be streamlined. 3-5 years to get though and application process just encouages people to break the law.
You orange county people are a bunch of racist people and ignorant. All for Bilingual education. They are human beings not animals. Their is a solution to every problem treat people like people not animals. Spanish is a beautiful language. This is a free country you can speak any language you desire.
You orange county people are a bunch of racist people and ignorant.
Muchos, Sylvia, no todos.
Sylvia and Vern, why do you treat illegal aliens as if they’re helpless, diaper soiling basket cases? I think they can take back the countries they are being lured from now. I think they’re good enough, have enough fire to do it. I don’t think that the youngest and strongest of those societies should turn tail and run from the very countries that need them more than ever. Amnesty and a bucket and mop is just a slap in the face. Every person that crosses that border illegally puts another nail in the coffin of the country they came from.
