Pomona Neo-Nazi Rally: National Socialist Movement Fights CA's Dream Act (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 11/07/11 05:36 PM ET Updated: 11/07/11 06:56 PM ET

"The American dream is not for illegals. It's for white America," Jeff Schoep, commander of the National Socialist Movement (NSM), said at the neo-Nazi group's rally in Pomona on Saturday, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin reports. The rally, which had nearly 75 neo-Nazis in attendance, was met by more than 300 counter-protesters. One counter-protestor held a sign that said, "When did your family immigrate?," the Daily Bulletin reports.

The focus of the rally was the group's demand that California repeal its recently-passed Dream Act, which allows state college aid to undocumented immigrants without criminal record who came to the US before age 16 or who have completed two years of college.

In a press release, NSM explained that it choose to protest in Pomona because, the group claimed, it is a "sanctuary city" for immigrants and doesn't follow federal immigration laws:

Pomona is a unique gathering place of continuing tension between ethnic minorities, such as Hispanics and Blacks. In 2009, an 18 year old Black named Marquis Le Blanc, was beaten and killed at a party by mostly Hispanic assailants. In the past year or so, area police have been questioned regarding the possibility of racial profiling. And most recently, nearby Coachella (97% Hispanic) and Pomona have each become known as an Immigrant Sanctuary for illegal aliens.. They are playing with ideas of civil disobedience.

The press release went on to quote Schoep saying, "With Whites being the minority population in Pomona (48%), you have to ask yourself where White people will fit in among these volatile American communities!.. White people cannot be left out of what has traditionally been their own towns..!"

According to Fox News, an earlier neo-Nazi rally took place in Pomona in March, with 30 white supremacists and nearly 500 counter-protestors.

On its website, NSM states that its core beliefs are "defending the rights of white people everywhere, preservation of our European culture and heritage, strengthening family values, economic self-sufficiency, reform of illegal immigration policies, immediate withdrawal of our national military from an illegal Middle Eastern occupation, and promotion of white separation."

The site states that membership is open to "non-Semitic heterosexual of European descent" and includes an under-18 group called the Viking Youth Movement.

NSM member Butch Urban told the Southwest Riverside News Network that the group does not promote racial hatred. "The blacks have the NAACP," he said. "The Hispanics have their organizations and all that is OK. Well, our group is a white rights organization."

As the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin reports, the rally consisted of an hour and a half of speeches by NSM members. There were no arrests or injuries.

America's dream is not for white Americans, it is for everyone, those who were born here and those who comes here legally and seeks to become a legal citizen. I cannot detest groups such as this more but I also realize that people who come here illegally are causing great harm to the whole. My question is how will the countries they come from change and improve if they just leave? I am in dire straights right now myself. Could I go to Germany and expect the German government to feed, clothe and shelter me for free without my attempting to become a German citizen or with no legal right to immigrate? Would the Germans welcome me with open arms?...the Italians?....the French?....the Japanese?

What's amusing about all of this is that nothing more could have been done to assure that the forward thinking immigration laws of Pomona stayed on the books, than this ignorant group of young men coming out against those laws. No politician will stand with them, and they would only have a small percentage of whites with them for a referendum.
Wherever you have humanity and fear, especially when it rises in difficult times, you will have racism.
We're not a perfect country by far, but the progress we keep making in this area is a beautiful thing. There was a time when the numbers at that rally would have been reversed for who supported whom. Step by step we move forward.

What really gets me is they use the Nazi Swastika flag which is the most hated Flag in the world but yet the Confederate flag that was used in the south is pretty much banned for people to own or display it in public..This Government should ban this Nazi Swastika flag with the twisted cross for people to even own. That Nazi flag with Hitler's Swastika killed millions and millions of people. These people should be horse whipped. If they displayed that Nazi Swastika flag of Hitlers during and after WW2 they would have got beat to a pulp. I say let the crowd have at them.

U.S. Hate Groups has grown from 400 in 2008 to 1,002 in 2010. Denial of racism in the U.S. is hilarious and we all know racism has grown since we elected our first ‘black’ president. I also find it amusing reading this excerpt:

The press release went on to quote Schoep saying, "With Whites being the minority population in Pomona (48%), you have to ask yourself where White people will fit in among these volatile American communities!.. White people cannot be left out of what has traditionally been their own towns..!"

The Southwest belonged to Mexico and before that to Spain in the 1500’s. The meaning of the name California is Name Of A Mythical Land. Major cities and states are Spanish names so where does the ‘white people come out with “what has traditionally been ‘their’ own towns?” Not!!

I would say North America is returning to its original Mexican heritage, don’t you think? Perhaps you should do your genealogy and see where your ancestors originally came from and return to “your roots”.

NSM and all the other hate groups obviously have a problem with more than just illegal and undocumented immigrants: they hate Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Asians, blacks, non-Nordic whites, gays, etc.; and their objective is to dismantle every form of equal rights for women that women have struggled to achieve in the past century alone. So it seems farcical and provocative for the City of Pomona to cater to NSM by allowing them to stage this neo-Nazi rally under the pretext that they are protesting illegal immigration, when their primary objective is to disseminate their hatred for over 90% of the world's humanity. The actions of the police at this neo-Nazi rally is equally fascistic and repulsive. Expressing hatred for the vast majority of the world's humanity is not only misanthropic, it is anachronistic in any democracy during the new millenium: it is no different than provoking physical and psychological abuse and torture. Pomona, and other cities like it which issue permits for neo-Nazi/hate group rallies, are breaking federal law in regard to provocating physical and psychological abuse and torture (terrorism) of the public at large, and such cities should be held liable for litigation.

Current Immigration Laws were called broken and dysfunctional by many
politicians and Mr. Obama himself. There are 4.5 American citizen children
who live every day in constant fear of losing one or both parents due to
deportation, there are thousands of American citizens who cannot adjust their
spouses status. American citizens face separation from their family members
for unknown period of time, possibly indefinitely.

Sign the Petition at http://wh.gov/b9y to return the value to the term : AMERICAN CITIZEN by:
Immediately adjusting immigration status of American citizen's immediate
family members (parents, spouses, children) to Permanent Resident.

No amnesty. Any amnesty will increase the numbers of illegal aliens. If people didn't enter the country illegally this would not be a problem. If we apply the 14th amendment in the way it was intended many of these children would be citizens of their parent' country. All of this talk about getting families together with no talk of any enforcement. America can not keep allowing unlimited numbers of illegals into the country without any enforcement. "Immediatel­y adjusting immigratio­n status of American citizen's immediate family members (parents, spouses, children) to Permanent Resident." Will this encourage more illegals? Sure will.

Why you keep saying that, the 14th amendment was not created to harbor illegal immigrants. It was created for the blacks American to have equal rights and to protected them. That is something very American.
What our people need to do is the right thing when moving to other people country. But they think that they can fool everybody and of course it is convenient for USA. Or was convenient, now because the economy; more deportation is happening.

The Fourteenth Amendment (Amendment XIV) to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868, as one of the Reconstruction Amendments.

Its Citizenship Clause provides a broad definition of citizenship that overruled the Dred Scott v. Sandford ruling by the Supreme Court (1857) that held that blacks could not be citizens of the United States.[1]

Its Due Process Clause prohibits state and local governments from depriving persons of life, liberty, or property without certain steps being taken to ensure fairness. This clause has been used to make most of the Bill of Rights applicable to the states, as well as to recognize substantive and procedural rights.

Its Equal Protection Clause requires each state to provide equal protection under the law to all people within its jurisdiction. This clause was the basis for Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the Supreme Court decision which precipitated the dismantling of racial segregation in the United States. In Reed v. Reed (1971), the Supreme Court for the first time ruled that laws arbitrarily requiring sex discrimination violated the Equal Protection Clause.
