Why Rigoberto Padilla Should Be Deported

Why Rigoberto Padilla Should Be Deported

by Lewis Loflin

Here we will explore the all too familiar story of Rigoberto Padilla, an illegal alien Mexican arrested in Chicago for drunk driving. It's a story of political corruption, bad schools, and racial politics. It's the story a complete breakdown of law enforcement and rule of law that puts innocent people at risk and reveals just how entrenched racial Marxism is in Chicago. If one wants to understand President Obama, then we must explore the issues around Rigoberta Padilla. Let's explore what happened with an earlier version of this story in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Alfredo Ramos is a Mexican illegal alien that was convicted of manslaughter for killing two young girls in Virginia. According to police, Ramos, 22, slammed the 1998 Mitsubishi he was driving into the rear of a 1994 Plymouth driven by Allison Kunhardt, 17, in Virginia Beach, Va. Kunhardt and her best friend Tessa Tranchant, 16, were stopped at a traffic light when they were rear-ended by a drunken, speeding Ramos. Even wearing seat belts one died at the scene and another later at the hospital. Ramos had only minor injuries while the police that had previously arrested Ramos for drunk driving had refused to get him deported blaming only speed and alcohol.

To quote another source on his broad criminal history, "Ramos had a history of prior convictions, yet due to the sanctuary policies of two Virginia towns, his immigration status was never questioned or examined. He was convicted in Virginia Beach of public drunkenness in 2006. In 2007, Two months prior to killing Allison and Tessa, he was arrested for identity theft, public drunkenness and a DUI in Chesapeake. The arresting officer said Ramos almost ran over him. He was driving with a fake license and a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit." More on that at www.familysecuritymatters.org

Why was Ramos at least not in jail for all of his prior crimes? Plea bargains and racial politics. They even know where his illegal alien brother lives, but due to local sanctuary policies in the community refuse to arrest him. This policy prevents police from dealing with illegal aliens and harbors these criminals from Federal law enforcement. Local officials were just as guilty of killing these young women as Ramos was. If the laws had been enforced including no license, no insurance, and DUI, and if Ramos had been removed earlier from this country, those girls would be alive. Who will be the next Ramos?

21-year-old Rigoberto (Rigo) Padilla has a similar story. Rigo is an illegal alien Mexican and admits his entire family in a letter to Senator Durban is illegal aliens. Like Ramos' prior arrests he was nailed for DUI after running a stop sign before he could kill somebody. Chicago like Norfolk is another Sanctuary City that harbors illegal alien criminals such as Rigo, but the system broke down. His public defender (he has no money) slipped and reported him to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and he faces deportation. Not so fast as the New York Times and racist Latino groups take up his cause.

In Illegal Immigrant Students Publicly Take Up a Cause (Dec. 11, 2009) the New York Times shrugged off Rigo's criminal activities as a "misdemeanor" after his sweetheart plea deal. They simply reported Rigo as "a Mexican-born college student in Chicago who has been an illegal immigrant in this country since he was 6." Other supporters make him out to a great scholar and all around victim due to his immigration status. But on the illegal alien issue since his arrest the Times reports:

...students held two street rallies on his behalf and sent thousands of e-mail messages and faxes to Congress. The Chicago City Council passed a resolution calling for a stay of his deportation and five members of Congress from Illinois came out in support of his cause. One of them was Representative Jan Schakowsky, a Democrat, who offered a private bill to cancel his removal. Obama administration officials said they would review cases like Mr. Padilla's as they arose. They said the situation of Mr. Padilla, 21, pointed to the need for an immigration overhaul that would include a path to legal status for people in the United States illegally...

...others in Florida of students who fought off deportation - is activism by young immigrants, many of them illegal, which has become increasingly public and coordinated across the country, linked by Web sites, text messages and a network of advocacy groups. Spurred by President Obama's promises of legislation to grant them legal status, and frustration that their lives have stalled without it, young illegal immigrants are joining street protests despite the risk of being identified by immigration agents...

Most of the rest of the article is the same thing, cheering on a position advocated by the far-left for decades. Their argument is he has been here for years and being in college means that he will be such a great addition to America, they should let him stay. There are several issues the Times left out, so let's explore more closely if Rigo really is just a poor Mexican college student turned activist.

Not Education, But Indoctrination in Chicago Schools

The graduation rate in Chicago public schools is a pathetic 52%. (Chicago Tribune July 5, 2006) According to the University of Chicago Chronicle (April 26, 2006) half the black/Hispanic male students (well under half manage to graduate at all even with their low standards) have less than a 2.0 GPA score. They are are mostly functional illiterates. In reality three-fourths of the black/Latino young males are uneducated in Chicago. This failure in leftist/Democratic schools is the direct cause of the failure in minority communities and not white racism as they claim. "White values" such as education, hard work, and thrift are discouraged as white racism while students are raised on a toxic cocktail of victimization, Marxist liberation theology, and black/Hispanic nationalism. The result as the Chronicle further notes, "The report also showed that few (Chicago) high schools have been successful in sending students to a range of colleges."

Turns out Rigo attends Harold Washington College, a two-year community college that was founded in 1962 as Loop College, renamed for the first black mayor of Chicago, Harold Washington in 1987. They are noted for their taxicab driver certification program. One noted student was Walid Shoebat a former Palestinian terrorist right at home with the local Arab Student Organization. This and other Islamist organizations are given free reign for teaching Islamic culture in public schools, much of it Islamic nationalism opposed to western values and culture. While billed as a cultural program, they admit they cover Muslim prayers. This would never be tolerated from any Christian organization. Yet in this failed school system the Federal government is spending $880,000 to teach Islamic/Arab culture. That's on top of another $1.6 million in state/federal funds. (Chicago Sun Times Nov. 9, 2009)

For more on Shoebat see Pandering to Muslims or Political Correctness at the Bristol Herald Courier?

What about Rigo? He is a professional racist activist and always has been. His college studies consist of an Associate's Degree in Arts with a "Latin American and Latino Emphasis." In his letter to Durban he claims to be the former president of the Organization of Latin American Students, Casa Aztlán, and Erie Neighborhood House. These are racist Latino organizations.

Casa Aztlan's mission statement also leaves no doubt as to their agenda; "Acknowledging the strengths of Mexican families, Casa Aztlán seeks to sustain the strong cultural identity of the Pilsen community by organizing and educating residents and providing supportive services in order to combat social violence, discrimination and poverty." They are Latino separatist groups preventing the assimilation of Hispanics assuring them of more self-inflicted failure.

Any white group advocating protection of their language and culture would be attacked as racist and their members expelled from any public institution of education. As for "La Casa Erie" their mission is "empowers Latino and diverse low-income communities to reach their fullest potential" and "Our mission is to promote a just and inclusive society by strengthening low-income, primarily Latino families". It's just more racial Marxism.

Rigo is a racial activist that broke the law and like Ramos got a slap on the hand. He is getting an absolutely absurd degree in a public educational system filled with racial activists graduating illiterates. He has no intention like most Mexicans of becoming an American, but a Mexican that lives in America. Now they report Padilla is enrolled at the University of Illinois at Chicago, but he has no money even to pay for an attorney for drunk driving. But according the Latino racist group Erie Neighborhood House own website of "one of their own":

Rigo's story is not much different than many of the participants who come to Erie House. Rigo was not the valedictorian of his high school class. He was not a stellar athlete. He did not receive presidential scholarships to attend college...Rigo did not attend the college of his choice because he couldn't afford it...

So who is paying that bill? How did he get into an expensive college he can't pay for with an AA degree in Mexican studies? To quote the Chicago Sun Times Dec. 10, 2009,

Six days away from deportation, a University of Illinois at Chicago student caught in the switches while awaiting immigration reform has a one-year reprieve...Instead of returning next week to his native Mexico, Padilla can graduate from UIC, where he's studying law and earning straight A's...

After the City Council hearing, U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) introduced legislation that would have paved the way for Padilla to become a legal resident. That sent a "powerful message" to Homeland Security, Hoyt said.

"A convincing argument was made that united all of Chicago that Rigo is a young man who will be an asset to our nation. He should not be separated from his family and thrown out of the country he calls his home," Hoyt said.

He is in this college as a cover to keep him from being deported and to be used as a poster boy to help pass the Dream Act in Congress. And according to his attorney Kalman Resnick who plays on racial Marxism,

"It's a rare teenager who doesn't do something that ends up in the criminal justice system. I know that. I raised two teenagers. But [the punishment] depends on class and color and national origin."

Sorry Mr. Resnick but most white teenagers do not end up in jail, so I assume he is speaking for certain protected victim groups. They end up there because like Rigo they broke the law. It's time to deport this criminal and racist illegal alien back home to Mexico. Even more vital is to put education back into Chicago schools emphasizing English, math, and science, not racial Marxism, Islamic culture, or Latino nationalism. His deportation has been delayed as of December 2009.
