No Mr. Rivera It's Not Ethnic Cleansing

To no one's surprise HB 1804, the bill clamping down on illegal immigration, is being challenged. "Rev." Miguel Rivera and his crony "Rev" Victor Orta have filed a lawsuit attempting to thwart the will of the people. You can read the story here: http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectID=12&articleID=071016_1_A1_spanc57517 Get a load of his quote; this is taken verbatim from the Tulsa World article. "The leaders and people behind House Bill 1804 are guilty of ethnic cleansing," said the coalition's president, the Rev. Miguel Rivera, at a press conference outside the federal court building. Get that? ETHNIC CLEANSING...Before I go into the absurdity of this statement, let me first say how disappointed I am in Mr. Rivera's claim. I'll not call him Reverend as he is telling not only an out right lie, but he is exploiting the people he claims to represent. The comments are inflammatory and insulting to those who uphold our laws. What Orta and Rivera fail to see in this law is an attempt to uphold the laws of our country, laws, unless deemed contrary to God's word, they are bound to follow. Don't take my word, check out Romans.

1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake
Romans 13:1-5 (NKJV) So, gentlemen, if you are men of God, are to obey the laws of the land. Also, the Illegal aliens that sneak into our country are law breakers and, according to the same passage, deserve to be punished (i.e. sent back to whatever country they came from) Another facet of this law that escapes their attention is the protection aspect of it. This law is designed to protect citizens of our country, Hispanic, black, white, Asian, it doesn't matter. Who are these gentlemen more concerned about? As for "ethnic cleansing" maybe Rivera and Orta ought to brush up on their history and current events to learn what ethnic cleansing really is. Here are a few incidents lifted from history and current events.

The numerous deportations by Stalin before and after WWII of ethnic peoples.

The mass murder of farmers in the Ukraine by Stalin's man made famine during forced collectivization. (possibly 5 million farmers died)

The deportations of both the Northern and Southern kingdoms of Israel and Judah by the Assyrians and Bablyonans in 722 and 586 B.C.

Deportations of Jews from Arab countries in the modern era.

Deportations of Jews, Poles, Slaws, and other native peoples from their homelands by Hitler during World War II. Many of these ended up in death camps.

The former Yugoslavia where ethnic cleansing was taking place by the Serbs.

And others.

Anybody see the comon denominator? Each of these examples involve taking people from THEIR land. Making those who break into our country, therefore breaking our laws and who many times cost tax payers money go back to ther land is not "ethnic cleansing"

So, gentlemen, before you come to our wonderful state where the people spoke and bad mouth our police, brush up on your history and get your facts straight. Or is it you know full well you are telling lies, and the more sensational your accusations can be, the more press time you will get.

Hey it works for two other Professional victims, Jessee Jackson, and Al Sharpton, maybe you figure it can work for you too?
