Marxist Labor Leaders Used Latino Voters to Move California Left - Implications for All Americans

A group of socialist California labor officials and Democratic Party operatives, led by Los Angeles County Federation of Labor head Maria Elena Durazo, targeted Latinos and immigrants in a deliberate program to permanently drive Golden State politics to the left.
This program was revealed in a November 2010 Calbuzz blogpost: Untold Story: How the Latino Vote Hit Critical Mass, by one of its key participants, Sacramento based Democratic Party political consultant Richie Ross.
In the post, Ross openly boasts of targeting the Latino community¡¯s fear of anti-illegal immigration measures, to drive the community even further into the arms of the Democratic Party.
He explicitly names Durazo, her late husband and labor boss predecessor Miguel Contreras, as initiators of the program. He also states how the couple worked with future California Assembly speaker Fabian Nunez to implement the plan.
According to Ross:
Zitat Beginning in 1994, California began to change. The numbers of immigrants who became citizens grew exponentially each year. According to the Department of Homeland Security¡¯s statistics, prior to Proposition 187, the number of new citizens in California each year had been a steady 50,000 to 60,000. In 1994, the number jumped to 118,567. In 1995, it was 171,285. In 1996, 378,014.
Also in 1994, a husband and wife team, Miguel Contreras the leader of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and Maria Elena Durazo, then the leader of the Hotel Workers in Los Angeles (later Miguel¡¯s successor at the Labor Fed) began something new: they linked organizing immigrant workers to organizing immigrant voters. And they hired a young immigrant-rights firebrand, Fabian Nunez, as he protested Proposition 187 by carrying the Mexican flag down Broadway in Los Angeles.
Nunez served as L.A. Labor¡¯s political director and eventually became the Speaker of the Assembly.
The campaigns we developed broke new ground, organized new union workers, and increased the political impact Latino voters had on California politics ¨C simultaneously tripling their number of registered voters, increasing the Democratic share of that vote by 50%, and doubling the percentage of the total votes cast in California from Latinos.
Through the rest of the 1990¡äs our campaigns focused on legislative races in Los Angeles. We succeeded. But it was all small.
In the 2000s, the team began to play for higher stakes. And all evidence points to their success.
I always appreciate Trevor Loudon. Thanks for posting.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

ZitatMaria Elena Durazo and her labor union and socialist colleagues have changed the face of Southern California forever. As the once Golden State sinks into bankruptcy, Durazo and her comrades will exploit an ever growing Latino voting bloc to maintain power for their Democrat friends, no matter how bad economic conditions become.
This is pretty much how Obama won the 2012 presidential election. If he can now carry out his plan to give citizenship to 12,000,000 illegal immigrants now living in the US, the Democrats will have at least 8,000,000 more locked in votes for 2016.
All Americans should learn from the socialist takeover of California, because this is the blueprint for the entire United States. Latino immigrants and voters will be one of the key planks of American socialism.
Millions of Latinos, who come to America for a better life for their children, are going to exploited by Marxists, labor union socialists and Democrats, to destroy the very country they long to be part of.
Unless conservatives and Republicans are prepared to confront this issue head on, the constitutional republic known as the United States of America will soon be gone forever.
You have to give the progs credit. They have a goal, a plan and method to win elections.
