Calling the recently passed Arizona anti-immigrant law a "most dreadful piece of legislation" and likening it to apartheid South Africa's passbook program, Coalition of Black Trade Unionists President Bill Lucy told the 700 delegates and guests at the organization's 39th convention in Detroit that the CBTU would be moving its 2011 convention from its scheduled location in Phoenix.
"We have to join in that fight," said Lucy, even though his organization may face severe penalties for breaking its hotel contract.
Lucy, who is also secretary-treasurer of the 1.6-million-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and a long time member of the marxist Democratic Socialists of America said that the law targets immigrants who "have as much right to be here as any other nationality."
"People want a decent job and better life and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that," he said. "We need an immigration law to bring 12 million people out of the shadows and give them legitimacy. Yes we can!"
Lucy also went on to praise president Barack Obama a long time associate of Democratic Socialists of America.
"President Obama is our friend; we want to be seen with him day and night. He's our best chance" said Lucy.
Lucy reminded everyone that President Obama inherited the greatest mess since FDR. Our economy was "going down the sewer" until this president came into office, Lucy noted. Obama has the sensibilities and program to reclaim this country for regular people, he said, but he warned that "Republicans will never vote for anything that allows him to claim success bringing this country back."

Does this man know nothing of the legislative -- Democratically-inspired -- foundations of the economic morass? Does he not understand the Socialists and Marxists' influence on matters such as the community reinvestment act and other such idiocies? The selling of derivatives -- AIG could tell him a great deal about that! And Fannie and Freddie?
As for immigration, why can't we have immigration laws enforced -- just as Calderon enforces Mexican immigration law? How is it that Mexico and other countries are "permitted" by the Left to enforce tougher laws against illegal immigration while Arizona is thrown to the wolves by its own Federal President and Congress for trying to SIMPLY ENFORCE THE LAW?
When will sanity be restored to the earth?
I'm reading Whittaker Chambers' "Witness." If you haven't read it, folks, take the time. It's long, but it's brilliant.
These people have had nearly free "reign" for most of the 20th century (excepting the brief years of push-back aka McCarthy -- not the monster he is portrayed in the propagandistic media and academia -- and Reagan).
We've got to stop this madness.
Trevor, glad you're back.
This is nonsense. A lawyer did an analysis on TV last night, and said the AZ law is LESS intrusive than the Federal.
Of course in order to have world government, you need no borders and no cultural distinctions.
