Re: ICE Raid Intensifies Fear in the Prince William County Latino Community

Luke is right, one doesn't need a major political or historical analysis in order to understand that all current US security forces campaigns of harassment, sweeps and removal against Latino immigrants originate out of the same fear, racism and hate that is at the core of the foundation of this most "illegal" nation. And just like when they used the same tactics in the past to remove our ancestors from their native lands and communities, they do the same to us today; arresting, jailing and removing even our small children! One thing is for sure, the fight for justice of all Native Latinos, from all the Americas, here in this empire is just beginning! Our resistance today, at whatever and despite the cost, must be as strong and as legendary as our ancestors' was! White pacifism never brought us anything beneficial and is another tool to keep us under control and obedient to their system of domination and exploitation!

In this context is also important to point out that we, as native people, should never fall for the regionalisms or nationalisms that ruling elites all over the continent have used to keep us fighting each other. Whether is in North America, Central America or South America, ruling classes in each country/state share an inherent hate and racism towards native peoples! Whether of British, Spanish or French descent, they are all the same and their intent always has been and is to preserve their material wealth at our expense! We must remember that ruling classes of every country all over the continent cooperate with each other and still use the famous tactic of "divide and conquer" in order to keep us submerged in misery and poverty! We must remember that a white racist in the US is not better than a white racist in Quebec or a white racist in Argentina!

That's why it's very important that we, Native peoples, resist this latest racist assault by white colonizers and imperialists on our dignity through a united front of Native peoples from all over the continent, regardless of region and nationality! A single region or nationality type of agenda won't succeed in this fight if it doesn't include all the Native regions and cultures of the entire continent! Only then we'll
be able to create a strong resistance movement that moves beyond the current peaceful denunciation of terrorist acts by the US state against our people!

!Por la dignidad y la lucha de los pueblos Nativos de America!
