New Year’s Resolutions from the State of Arizona:
#1 Force President Obama and Attorney General Holder to come
to Arizona to visit Operation Streamline…. so that we can permanently shut it
down, with or without the assistance or actions of the above: End this criminalization, dehumanization and
for-profit scam!
#2 Force President Obama and Attorney General Holder to come
to the border itself, including both, the killing fields and the militarized
border walls. He needs to witness the effect of his own policies. Bring the Walls down!
#3 Continue to build irreversible movement for the
administration cease its massive deportation policies: NiUnoMas!
#4 Shutdown Migra offices and private immigration detention
centers often and everywhere around the country: If the President doesn’t halt the deportations, we will!
#5 Dismantle border patrol checkpoints and end immigration
enforcement inside the mainline United States. It is time to quit treating the
entire nation as a border zone and it is time to halt the practice of using the
migra as hunter battalions throughout the country. Our backs are not the border!
#6 End all 287 (g)
agreements, SECURE Communities, and any and all other agreements between the
police and the migra. Abajo con la
poli-migra!
#7 Have UN/OAS examine the killing and brutalizing of
migrants with impunity along the U.S/Mexico border… and file crimes against
humanity for all those responsible when and where appropriate. All life
is sacred.
#8 Decriminalize immigration. Any forthcoming immigration agreement
should be international in scope and should respect all human rights treaties
and conventions. Ningun ser humano es
illegal.
#9 Have all scholarship foundations around the country
follow the lead of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, which now accepts DREAM-DACA
students: Exclusion is another word for
Discrimination.
#10 Continue to build movement for the new Pope and the
Catholic Church to revoke and renounce the Doctrine of Discovery; to cease its
claim on this continent, its peoples and our souls. All this is but a prelude
for not simply reparations, but the beginning of the process by which peoples
everywhere are treated not simply as full human beings, but are afforded rights
as full human beings: We cannot be
illegal on our own continent.
#11 Get some more sleep this year and create more. We should
not be spending all our time fighting and responding. Instead, we need to
create the world we want to live in. Creer-Crear
y Hacer
I would have made this
a Christmas wish list, but I don’t believe in wishing. Instead, these are my
New Year’s resolutions.
