Emergency Rally for Muslim and Immigrant Rights--Today!
« on: January 25, 2017, 12:06:07 PM »
Emergency Rally for Muslim and Immigrant Rights

The moment we've been bracing for is here. Multiple news outlets are reporting that President Trump will sign an executive order today or tomorrow, restricting entry to the US from majority Muslim countries. Another executive order is also expected, attacking our undocumented neighbors with an expanded border wall and an intent to target sanctuary cities like NYC. As a city of immigrants, we cannot stay silent in the face of such hate. We ask you to gather tonight (Wednesday), to show President Trump that all New Yorkers stand with our Muslim and Latino neighbors. Together, we will form a beacon of light against the coming darkness

WHAT: CAIR-NY Holds Rally for Muslim and Immigrant Rights.
WHEN: Wednesday, January 25, 5 p.m.
WHERE: Washington Square Park Arch in West Village/Manhattan

If you obey our Immigration laws you have nothing to fear. if you don't, you should be deported.

remember when O'neill (dem) and Regan (gop) did the 1986 amnesty bill and promised it was a one time thing for 3 million people. Now the bi partisan problem got b/t 4 and 6 times worse depending on which studies you find accurate.

So remind me once more, why on earth would the citizens accept the word of their govt now when they were once lied to, then mocked and the problem grew many times over.

Peace for all but that includes the rule of law

Flagged as racist what-about-ery.  This has NOTHING to do with "immigration laws"

The president is literally suggesting

 i) a muslim registry, like a fascist regime would
 ii) a refugee ban (bye bye statue of liberty hello fortress state)  and
iii) stripping basic human rights away from immigrants who are here

 That is what is being protested.

What that has to do with your rant and your racist (Ohio!) website ......focusing on bullshit racist fake-issues like "arizona 1070" and about a tiny number of people killed by "illegals" - why aren't you protesting other murders, I wonder.... oh yeah, because it doesn't serve your racist ends.



If you obey our Immigration laws you have nothing to fear. if you don't, you should be deported.

lalochezia, I whole heartedly agree with you. The ban is plain dumb, immoral, illogical and un-american


See I respect your opinion even though we may differ on some issues like say illegal immigration.

please do keep stating anyone who may in some small way disagree with you in therefore a racist. Frankly, that small minded liberal group thing is what led us to this calamity to begin with.

Protest all you want, it your right and I fully support it. Can you extend my first amendment right to me please? Or are you being Fascist?

All the best, see you at the march

NEW YORK (January 25th, 2016) — Tonight, at 7pm, immigrant New Yorkers with Make the Road New York will march in Jackson Heights in response to Donald Trump’s executive actions to attack immigrant families and communities. Immigrant New Yorkers are outraged by these actions to tear families apart, which will include building a wall on the Southern border, seeking to dramatically increase immigration enforcement, and defunding sanctuary cities. They will march through New York’s most diverse community to highlight their strength and resilience.

WHAT: Immigrant New Yorkers march in Jackson Heights to say: We are #HereToStay

WHEN: Wednesday, January 25, 7pm

WHO: Make the Road New York

WHERE: Corner of 92nd Street and Roosevelt Avenue, Jackson Heights, Queens [By train: 7 to 90th St - Elmhurst]

Community members and advocates shared the following statements in advance of the march:

Zuleima Dominguez, Youth Power Project member at Make the Road New York and DACA recipient, said: “This is a dark day for me, my family, and my community. As a DREAMer and member of a mixed-status immigrant family, I know what it’s like to live in the shadows—with the fear of being taken away from the people I love. Trump wants us to feel more of that fear and put our future and our dreams in jeopardy. Still, sad as I am today, I also know that my community is strong. We are here to stay, and we are going to resist. We will not go back to the shadows. We will not allow Trump’s racism and xenophobia to devastate our communities. We will stand up together to defend ourselves.”

Javier H. Valdés, Co-Executive Director of Make the Road New York, said: “This is an act of war against the immigrant community. Increasing ICE and border enforcement and aiming to defund sanctuary cities is an attack on our families. And we stand united with refugees and our Muslim brothers and sisters; an attack on any one of us is an attack on us all. With this executive action, Donald Trump has signaled that he wants to terrorize us and make millions of immigrants live in fear. But we are committed to not letting that happen. Today we join allies around the country in committing to the fiercest possible resistance to stop the President’s reckless attacks. We will organize in our communities, and we will explore every possible legal avenue to challenge this vile policy.”

I always wonder if the folks decrying undocumented immigrants similarly decry the white "illegals" that came before. (Look for a bit and white people will find someone or several someones in their social circle with an illegal grandparent or great grandparent.

FYI, your First Amendment rights don't shield you from criticism. And when you're first comment about people's worry over a ban on immigration on Muslim majority countries and the worry that immigrant families have over breaking up families is about how you have nothing to fear if you did everything legally -- insensitively ignoring that people brought here as children or the natural born citizens of undocumented immigrants HAVE A LOT TO FEAR -- you should be prepared for the valid criticism that you got.

Additionally, if your comment is deleted and you are banned from the board, your first amendment rights have still not been trampled upon. https://xkcd.com/1357/

Isn't CAIR related to a terrorist organization and Hamas?  I was just reading an article about them.

terrorist? much like the IRA-supporting groups that had donation jars in every single one of Queens' Irish pubs in the '70s, '80s and '90s? perhaps.

Nah just a fact based reality of how we as a nation got here:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/99th-congress/senate-bill/01200


see we already did this one in 1986 where the Dems and Gop had a "grand compromise". we the people trusted our govt and what happened? the problem within 25-30 years grew by a factor of 3x or 6x ( depending n what #'s you think may be accurate) So while I lament this clown is anywhere near power the blanket "it's racist" just doesnt hold true to the facts.



Sometimes people can disagree on principle without resorting to fake insults that arent based in reality

All the best to you and yours.

Actually, when the targets are people who aren't white, it's completely racist. It's just scapegoating non-whites to scare white people by preying upon their racial biases. There's nothing new about this. Racism is a lot more complicated than donning white robes and burning crosses.
