Sadly, Illegal Alien Lawsuit Against Rancher Nothing New
By Debbie Schlussel
You may have read about the illegal alien lawsuit against an Arizona rancher. The story, written by Washington Times reporter Jerry Seper–who admittedly (in e-mails to me) reads this site and has ripped off (without credit) exclusive stories from this site about ICE–is nothing new.
This isn’t the first time nor, unfortunately, the last time that illegal aliens have and will use our legal system to take away the freedoms, rights, and property of American citizens. Fortunately for the rancher in this case, Roger Barnett, he is only being sued civilly.
As I noted on this site several years ago, in “Gaza in Arizona: How ‘Civil Rights’ Lawyer Morris Dees Seized American Land For Illegal Aliens,” Dees and his Southern Poverty Law Center helped prosecute secure borders advocates and put them behind bars. Not only that, but the SPLC and the ACLU worked with the U.S. government to seize the Arizona ranch of the anti-illegal alien activists and secure U.S. citizenship for the illegal aliens. That was despite the fact that these activists gave the illegal aliens cookies, water, and warm blankets.
Here’s a snippet of what happened then:
Two miles from the border with Mexico, U.S. citizen Casey Nethercott’s dream ranch is now the property of Edwin Alfredo Mancia Gonzales and Fatima del Socorro Leiva Medina, both illegal immigrants from El Salvador.
And Nethercott didn’t sell it to them. They took it by force, after trespassing on it to sneak into the U.S. All orchestrated by Dees.
Dees’ legal squad used American courts to put Nethercott in jail and transfer his property to the illegals he tried to keep out.
Read the rest.
The story in the case against Roger Barnett has a similar storyline. Illegal aliens break the law and enter through the Southern border illegally. An Arizona rancher catches them on his property and points a gun at them until authorities arrive. The rancher is now the bad guy and the object of endless nightmare litigation, to the point he will lose everything even if he wins.
These federal prosecutions and lawsuits are not new, but they are increasing in volume because we do nothing and accept this as the status quo. Wall or no wall, crackdown on illegal aliens or not, we are losing the battle in the courts.
The lawsuit highlighted in the news today is just the latest on a downward spiral in our fight against illegal aliens and an upward spiral in their frivolous, absurd legal actions to secure their entry into our country and a golden ticket to remain here. In this case, the lawyers are from MALDEF–the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Foundation. But it makes no difference, which part of the alphabet soup of America’s ruin perpetrates the legal actions. They are winning, and we are losing.
The Courts are where Muslims are asserting Islam upon our country, and it is where illegal aliens are securing their invasion and takeover of our country.
If we ignore the courts, we do so at our peril. Unlike the border, there is no barrier to the ridiculous whatsoever in America’s unduly “hallowed” legal forums.
He’s just doing the job that Americans (ICE) won’t do.
