Manong Al Says Boycott AZ!

STATEMENT FROM KABATAANG MAKA-BAYAN (PRO-PEOPLE YOUTH) USA: MAY 1, 2010

On behalf of Kabataang maka-Bayan (KmB / Pro-People Youth) USA and the Alliance for Just and Lasting Peace in the Philippines (AJLPP), we in the Filipino community stand in solidarity with the millions protesting the racist legislation of Arizona, S.B. 1070.

Here on May Day, the internationally recognized day of the worker, we speak in unison as an integral section of the work force that creates the interwoven fabric of America is under attack - not judged for their deeds or character, but for their darker skin tones and Latin last names. By the very nature of the bill, we from the Philippine archipelago, fall within the very statutes of reasonable suspicion.

Leaving a homeland and family, traveling miles upon miles under dangerous conditions, all in an effort to extract the bare minimum from the vast amounts of wealth that the United States has accumulated, many times from the shores we just departed - it is from these same homelands that we flee, where the raw materials are exported to create every single product that America enjoys.

It is from these lands you see the hands that cook, clean, repair, build, and maintain. Here we care for your young, heal your sick, and continue to do every other possible employment opportunity we can find no matter how minimal the compensation. While back in our countries there is no one left to look after our bedridden elders, soothe our crying children, or speak out against injustices.

We are neither criminals nor the drain on American society that the supporters of S.B. 1070 will have you believe. We are not the homeless or wretched refuse. We are those that have left home tirelessly to reach that golden door. We are the huddled masses yearning for respect and dignity.

We will not be moved.

We will not leave.

Full Rights for Immigrants Now!

Fight Racism and Bigotry!

@TheChicahuaAchcauhtI That's what they want you to think

[TheChicahuaAchcauhtI]

over 60% of federal housing goes to illegal aliens.

43% of Food Stamps goes to illegal aliens

41% of Unemployment Checks go to illegal aliens

58% of Welfare payments go to illegal aliens

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking crops, 41% are on welfare

74% of all "undocumented immigrants" in the U.S. work for cash and pay no taxes
