ACLU / Kroc Family Team Up With Mexicans Against Americans

PUA Staff - April 25, 2008

When the ACLU spends more time trying to help foreign nationals instead of trying to protect the US and US citizens, we need to rethink support for this digressed organization, said Xelan Bonn, Patriot Union of America founder.

"The direction the ACLU has went in in the last decade is remarkably anti-American," said  Bonn.

The Constitution clearly requires the federal government to protect both states and citizens from foreign invasion so when the ALCU aids foreigners to invade the US, they are aiding the dismantling of the Constitution - rather than protecting and safeguarding it and the Rights of US citizens, said Bonn.

ACLU, rights commission from Mexico sign accord (Sign-On San Diego)

April 22, 2008

SAN DIEGO: Stressing their joint commitment to protecting migrants' rights on both sides of the border, Mexico's National Commission for Human Rights signed an accord yesterday with the American Civil Liberties Union for San Diego and Imperial Counties.

Under the agreement, formalized at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice at the University of San Diego, the groups will “explore legal actions” challenging Operation Gatekeeper. The operation is the U.S. government's border-enforcement strategy implemented in 1994, which pushes San Diego's smuggling traffic farther east into the mountains and deserts.

José Luis Soberanes, president of the commission, said cooperative efforts will result in stronger migrant protection. The commission, funded through the Mexican Congress, is a public institution that is outside government control.

Kevin Keenan, executive director of the ACLU-San Diego, said the accord will allow his group to have greater effect. By working together with the Mexican commission, “I expect . . . to have our views considered in a much more serious fashion than when it's just the ACLU speaking.” –S.D.
