[QUOTE] Another bit of treason from our esteemed friends in academia.
Now we are advised that not only is illeagal immigration "necessary and good" for the US economy but that policy's of inclusion must include giving criminal invaders the right to vote. To deny them is at our peril.
Yeah, That makes sense.
Unless of course the civil unrest they are worried about occurs because of the refusal of the elite's to deal with the wholesale invasion of our country by Mexico and the third world.
Interesting concept. [/QUOTE]
[B]Panel debates permitting noncitizens to vote UCLA law professor says exclusion could be `recipe for civil unrestââ¬â¢[/B]
By ANGELA PANG Aggie News Writer
UCLA law professor Joaquin Avila believes that the continued exclusion of non-citizens in California from political participation is detrimental to achieving a more "cohesive society."
Avila, an expert on minority voting rights issues, was at the UCD law school on Monday for a panel discussing whether non-citizens in California should be excluded from voting and participation in the political process. Avila also discussed his recently-published document "Political Apartheid in California: Consequences of Excluding a Growing Population."
Also accompanying him on the law panel was UC Davis law professor Kevin Johnson and Adela De La Torre, chair of the Chicana/o studies department.
Over 4.6 million adults in California are noncitizens, contributing to the economy but lacking political representation, according to Avila. In addition, he said the 2000 U.S. Census found that California has at least 85 cities where noncitizens are 25 percent of its total adult population.
Avila said these numbers are "alarming."
"Unless we integrate them, we're going to see our cherished democratic institutions transmogrified into a de facto political apartheid," Avila said. "As a society, we simply cannot afford this outcome."
Avila offered several recommendations for pursing political empowerment for noncitizens. He said there needs to be increased public debate on this issue, continued research on noncitizen participation in local government and an exploration of non-citizen voting for local offices.
He suggested that a consensus should be reached on a constitutional amendment that could permit counties, cities, and school districts to choose to allow non-citizen voting in their local elections.
Johnson echoed Avila's sentiments, saying that barring noncitizens from the political process and excluding them from serving on juries is a "recipe for civil unrest" because it could undermine their faith in the U.S. political process and justice system.
Avila also addressed and refuted the notion that undocumented immigrants are breaking the law by being in the country illegally and should therefore not be given the same rights as citizens. He said the state's economy would suffer because state and local revenues depend on the noncitizen population.
"The main reason to support non-citizen voting is self-preservation," Avila wrote in his document, distributed by the UCLA Chicano studies department. "A society's interests are not furthered when a substantial number of its inhabitants are excluded."
The event was sponsored by the UC Davis Pacific Regional Humanities Center.

While I have no doubt "professor" Avila harbors his little Marxist dreams about leading the great, low IQ brown masses from Mexico in a takeover of CA, it would be interesting if someone could furnish us with his credentials - and records of his grades, test scores, LSAT score, etc. How far below the white average does one think his "qualifications" are? He's no doubt a "federal" professor/lawyer (the feds decreed he'd 'get in').

I am of Spanish descent, but even I could no longer take what is going on in the state of California. Because of the lack of jobs for whites, as well as for the illegals, the situation in California is becoming worse and worse all the time, not only that, as the Spanish people in California become stronger they are asking for more and more. I hate to tell you guys, but the state of California is gone to the Illegal Latinos the same as Palestine is gone to the illegal Khazards Zionists.

Socially California is a pit hole. But the weather sure is sweet. It must have been 80 degrees out there today. Soft breeze coming off the ocean. Pretty nice. :thumbsup:
