E-MAIL FROM Lee Siu Hin: Hate E-Mail, Call We Received to Today

We had been receiving large amounts of hate e-mails/calls event death threat against us because of our stands of fighting for immigrant rights and fight against racism. Last night, we received the following hate call to our office and it was recorded to our system: http://www.immigrantsolidarity.org/Audio/June606HateCall.wav

Meantime, this morning, I received a e-mail from a self-proclaimed interfaith peace activist angry about my immigrant right works:

“…. Perhaps you-all don’t realiz that immigrants MUST be LEGAL, or the U.S. will have too great a burden, to dd the services needed, and consider our national debt. Mexico should not be forcing their cituzens to leave….” (exact e-mail). The first phone call show the right wing racist anti-immigrant forces desperate attempts to terrorize the people of oppressed who choose to fight back, and the second e-mail shows a large number of so-called “peace activists” are completely cureless and ignorance about what is the immigrant rights and human rights about when they claim to fight for the human rights of Iraqi people. For the past 5 months, we had been received far more hate calls/death threats against our immigrant works then our works on anti-war/labor rights/anti-globalization for the past 5 years combine. Recently, I was told by one of the top AFL-CIO official, according to their study, 60% of the labor against immigrant rights,. This shows the difficult tasks in front of us–not only we need to fight racist/Nazi/KKK anti-immigrant Minutemen, but we also need to confront the racist/ignorance ‘left’ who talks human rights/anti-war/labor rights every day.
