Welcome to Maywood, Mexico

Boasting a population that is 97% Hispanic, more than half foreign born, and 40% illegal, the Los Angeles County, Calif., incorporated city of Maywood has achieved the Reconquista goal. It is now as lawless and chaotic as any place in Mexico. Maywood is a warning to every city and town in America.


The Maywood City Council announced this week that after years of radical policies, corruption and scandal, the city was broke and all city employees would be laid off and essential city services contracted out to neighboring cities or to L.A. County government.

How did this happen? Until recently, Maywood was the model for "brown power" politics.

Maywood was the first California city with an elected Hispanic City Council, one of the first "sanctuary" cities for illegal aliens, the first city to pass a resolution calling for a boycott of Arizona after that state passed a law to enforce federal immigration laws, the first California city to order its police department not to enforce state laws requiring drivers to have licenses to drive, the first American city to call on Congress to grant amnesty to all illegals.

Council meetings were conducted in Spanish. Maywood was the leader in the peaceful, democratic achievement of the La Raza goal to take power in the U.S.

The City of Maywood started out quite differently. Back after World War II, Maywood was a booming blue-collar town with good jobs, a multi-ethnic suburb of Los Angeles.

On the 25th anniversary in 1949 of Maywood's incorporation as a city, the town celebrated with a beard-growing contest, a rodeo, and wrestling matches in City Park. Chrysler operated an assembly plant there until 1971.

But the early 1970s saw these industrial jobs in aerospace, auto and furniture manufacturing, and food processing evaporate under the pressure of higher taxes, increased local and state regulation, and the attraction of cheaper land and cheaper labor elsewhere.

The multi-ethnic Maywood of the post-war years was transformed in the ’80s and ’90s by wave after wave of Hispanic immigrants, many of them illegal.

In August 2006, a "Save Our State" anti-illegal immigration rally in Maywood drew hundreds of protesters—but a larger number of defenders of illegal immigration. The pro-illegal protesters carried signs which read "We are Indigenous ! The ONLY owners of this Continent!" and "Racist Pilgrims Go Home" and "All Europeans are Illegal Here."

According to newspaper reports at the time, objectors to illegal aliens were subject to physical attacks. A 70-year-old man was "slashed," a woman attacked, and cars vandalized. Pro-illegal demonstrators raised the Mexican flag at the U.S. Post Office.

The illegal population and their sympathizers became increasingly radicalized. Elections to the City Council saw "assimilationist" incumbent Hispanic council members ousted by La Raza supporting radical challengers.

For years, the Maywood City Council authorized police checkpoints to stop drunk driving. Drivers without licenses had their cars impounded. Illegals in California cannot get drivers licenses. By 2005, the number of such impounds were in the hundreds. A community campaign was launched forcing the City Council to suspend the checkpoints.

Cars were still being impounded whenever a police traffic-violation stop resulted in a driver without a license. Felipe Aguirre, a community activist with Comite Pro-Uno, an "immigration service center," coordinated a new campaign against any impounds. He was elected in 2005 to the City Council. He is the mayor of Maywood today.

Aguirre and a new majority of the council dismantled the Traffic Department​. Illegals were given overnight-parking permits and impounds stopped. You didn't need a license to drive in Maywood. The Los Angeles Times wrote glowingly of this "progress" in a story entitled "Welcome to Maywood, Where Roads Open Up For Immigrants".

The Maywood Police Department was restructured by the new council. A new chief and new officers were hired. Later it turned out that many of the new officers had previously been fired from other law enforcement agencies for a variety of infractions. The Maywood P.D. was known as the "Department of Second Chances."

Among those hired was a former L.A. Sheriff's deputy terminated for abusing jail inmates; a former LAPD officer fired for intimidating a witness; and an ex-Huntington Park officer charged with negligently discharging a handgun and driving drunk.

Even the L.A. Times called the Maywood Police Department a "haven for misfit cops." Their story alleged that a veteran officer was extorting sex from relatives of a criminal fugitive; that another officer tried to run over the president of the Maywood Police Commission; and that another officer has impregnated a teenage police-explorer scout.

Charges of corruption and favoritism led to one recall of city council members and threats of more recalls are heard to this day.

Maywood is represented in the state Senate by Democrat "One Bill" Gil Cedillo. He earned the nickname by introducing every year in the state legislature a bill to grant drivers licenses to illegals. Maywood is represented in Congress by Democrat Lucille Roybal-Allard, a staunch advocate of amnesty for illegals.

Today, Maywood is broke. Its police department dismantled along with all other city departments and personnel. Only the city council remains and a city manager to manage the contracts with other agencies for city services in Maywood.

Maywood is the warning of what happens when illegal immigrants, resisting assimilation as Americans, bring with their growing numbers the corruption and the radical politics of their home countries. Add the radical home-grown anti-Americanism of Hispanic "leaders" and groups like La Raza and you get schools where learning is replaced with indoctrination, business and jobs replaced by welfare and gangs, and a poisonous stew of entitlement politics.

In too many American communities, this sad tale is all too familiar.

OUTLAW THE AMERICAN FLAG? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!

From Redstate.com:
By Eric Erickson.

"Yesterday the journal Psychological Science published a paper (abstract here, original here*) that demonstrates:
"The mere sight of the American flag can subtly shift their political views… towards Republicanism. It’s an effect that holds in both Democrats and Republicans, it affects actual votes, and it lasts for at least 8 months.
This is a fascinating finding in and of itself, but even more so considering the other recent study that showed:
"July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day."
So apparently, patriotism is a Republican thing. (Go ahead now, lefties, get all frothed up).
The flag study is particularly interesting because of the duration of the effect – the influence upon the flag “viewer” can last up to eight months.
From the study:
"In contrast to people’s beliefs, we report two experiments showing that the American flag introduces a bias toward the Republican Party over the Democratic Party. A single exposure to a small American flag while participants were deliberating about their voting intentions prior to a general election led to significant and robust changes in participants’ voting intentions, voting behavior, and political attitudes, all in the politically conservative direction. In a separate experiment, we replicated these patterns over a year into a Democratic presidential administration.
We also tested the longevity of this priming effect on judgment and attitudes. Flag priming effects may be especially potent if they occur while a person is consciously deliberating about politics and voting intentions. We exposed people to the American flag once during such an arguably critical psychological window, and found that the effects from this single exposure lasted up to 8 months later. This represents one of the most durable priming effects in the cognitive sciences literature, and shows that contextual effects can not only impact important political decisions, but can also have a robust and long-lasting influence."

This pretty much explains the whole flag-burning thing on the part of the Left. There must be some sort of deep-seated hatred for a symbol that reminds them that their beliefs are just wrong."

Idaho Student Says Teacher Tossed His Mexican Flag in Trash

FOX News

TWIN FALLS, Idaho — A high school student says he may file a lawsuit against a physical education teacher who took a Mexican flag he had brought for Cinco de Mayo and put it in the garbage.

Clint Straatman denies Froylan Camelo’s version of events but said he took the flag Monday because “white kids” might have hurt the 16-year-old. He said he put it in a garbage can because he had no place else to keep it.

Camelo said he was changing into gym clothes at Minico High School in Rupert when Straatman told him, “Give me the flag.”

“I said, ‘What’s the problem?”‘ Camelo, speaking in Spanish, told The Times-News of Twin Falls. “He said, ‘The problem is that we are in the United States and not in Mexico.’ He grabbed it from me. He threw the flag in the garbage can.”

Camelo said that Straatman told him the flag would be returned at the end of the school day, but that Straatman taunted him instead.

“I asked, ‘Where is my flag?”‘ Camelo said. “He said, ‘What, the U.S. flag?’ I said, ‘No, the one for Mexico.’ But he wouldn’t give it to me.”

Camelo said he then took the undamaged flag out of the garbage. He said he’s been contacted by the American Civil Liberties Union and is considering a lawsuit against Straatman.

ONE ANGRY VETERAN

Oh, here's news on the trial of Peter Ryan Lynch. Note that the people who brought the charges against him are El Centro de la Raza at University of New Mexico. First, there was news that Felipe Calderon would be passing out bucks to the Mexican consulates for programs to combat anti-illegal immigration, hate crimes, racial profiling. Then UMC got a new department, Institute of Diversity. They pulled over El Centro de la Raza under them. When the Institute of Diversity first formed, their site stated they were going to combat anti-illegal immigration, hate crimes, racial profiling. They've moved stuff around and edited now and hidden the El Centro de la Raza site, but it's still there as it was.... it's just under sites of interest. I'll give you the link. Probably have before since this is like a stone in my craw. At any rate, about the same time as the Institute of Diversity formed, this flag ruckus occurred. They went after Peter Lynch like a pack of wolves after a skraggly lamb. LULAC even piled in and wanted a federal hate crimes charge brought against him. And we had ADL and ACLU people attacking police departments all over the nation for racial profiling, even here in Odessa. SPLC is after people like Lou Dobbs and Hannity for hate speech. Ain't it grand what Mexico does with money?

Peter Lynch


El Centro de la Raza
They've hidden things and moved things around again... but they haven't gotten rid of the evidence.

Here's some more background on Peter Lynch.

Oh, no, they found him guilty.

Well, I guess they had a big party over that one and LULAC is probably ecstatic over the improved prospect of having him prosecuted for a hate crime. But it's ok for them to do Maywood, and all that other stuff with our flag. Where's a bucket?

I guess that's also why they had the audacity to do this.

And this.

And this.

This vet, however, seems to have scored a victory. It doesn't appear they wanted to tangle with him.
