OPINION<\/p>\n

Columnist<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia is going to become a Hispanic state and if anyone doesn\u2019t like it they should leave. They ought to go back to Europe.\u201d \u2014 Mario Guerra Obledo, co-founder of MALDEF, on the Tom Likus radio show<\/a>, 1998<\/strong><\/p>\n

With start-up financing from the Ford Foundation, Obledo co-founded the now largely corporate-funded Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund in 1968. His angry promise cited above leaped to mind Friday when we learned that the innocuously named illegal alien lobby corporation \u201cGeorgia Association of Latino Elected Officials\u201d welcomed some interesting \u2014 and powerful \u2014 guests to a recent breakfast fundraiser gala in metro Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Brian Kemp and Attorney General Sam Olens, Republicans both, participated in the 12th annual GALEO \u201cPower Breakfast\u201d moneymaker last Friday. State Rep B.J. Pak (R-Lilburn) was also there.<\/p>\n

What do powerful Republican Georgia politicians helping finance the anti-enforcement GALEO have to do with the quote above from MALDEF\u2019s Mario Obledo?<\/p>\n

The executive director of GALEO is community organizer Jerry Gonzalez. Before he was awarded with the leadership of GALEO, he was a Democratic fundraiser and MALDEF lobbyist at the Georgia Capitol, where he is known for his vitriolic outbursts at Republican legislators. Gonzalez and his anti-borders corporation have actively fought every immigration enforcement bill under the Gold Dome, including HB 87 of 2011, and Gonzalez has brought the leader of the Socialist Workers party into Georgia to fight for driver\u2019s licenses for illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

As a certain indicator of growing political power in what this writer now sadly refers to as \u201cGeorgiafornia,\u201d Gonzalez crowed for weeks that Republican Governor Nathan Deal would assist with the GALEO funding campaign by attending Friday\u2019s event and would offer some \u201cwelcoming remarks.\u201d Alas, political insiders report that Deal cancelled at the last minute.<\/p>\n

The pre-printed GALEO event program with Deal\u2019s<\/a> name and a \u201cthank you\u201d list of the Georgia corporations<\/a> that sponsor GALEO can be seen on my MDJ blog and on the Dustin Inman Society Facebook page. Western Union, Georgia Power, Coca Cola and Cox Communications are just a few of the non-politician Gonzalez financiers.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez boasts on the GALEO website that All-American luminary Jane Fonda was a \u201cfounding friend.\u201d With their tacit endorsement, it looks like Deal, Olens, Kemp and Pak have joined \u201cHanoi Jane\u201d in supporting the GALEO\/Gonzalez agenda.<\/p>\n

An abbreviated list of Gonzalez\u2019s accomplishments on behalf of the open-borders, brown-supremacist goals include fearlessly marching in the streets of Atlanta demanding an end to enforcement of American immigration laws. They also include denigrating Cobb Police and Sheriff Neil Warren for supposedly creating \u201can environment of fear through active racial profiling and intimidation targeting the Latino community within Cobb County\u201d by doing their jobs.<\/p>\n

Readers with long memories may remember the 2007 federal approval for the Cobb sheriff\u2019s office use of the life-saving federal 287(g) program<\/a> that expanded the authority to locate and hold illegal aliens who had been captured for other crimes. \u201cThis has set us back tremendously\u201d a seething Gonzalez said then.<\/p>\n

Donations to GALEO help with its opposition to voter ID as \u201canti-Hispanic\u201d and Gonzalez makes it clear that making English our official language would be an \u201cinsult to our culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

I watched in person several years ago as Gonzalez marched in protest of then-CNN newsman Lou Dobbs with a large group of fellow travelers carrying signs calling Dobbs a \u201cracist\u201d and other placards reading \u201cTHIS IS OUR CONTINENT- GO BACK TO EUROPE!\u201d I asked some of the group with Gonzalez where my black friends who opposed illegal immigration should return to.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica\u201d was the quick and defiant reply.<\/p>\n

State Rep Katie Dempsey (R-Rome) must be quite curious about Gonzalez\u2019s newly revealed Republican supporters. Four years ago, the Rome News-Tribune reported that a very angry Jerry Gonzalez shadowed the diminutive legislator around a Rome event focused on E-Verify until \u201cGonzalez, who began yelling at Dempsey when the meeting ended,\u201d was escorted by local police from the property.<\/p>\n

GALEO has staged multiple fundraisers a year since its creation in 2003. From the event program, about $40,000 would be a very close estimation of the amount of operating funds the aforementioned Republican officials helped GALEO raise last week.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez has every right to be rolling in laughter at his success with GOP politicians \u2014 yet they will no doubt cling to claims they are \u201cconservatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

I wonder any of this will come up at the Republican state convention this weekend?<\/p>\n
