A Murder Suspect Who Fled to Mexico is Caught

On January 6, 2009, Wilshire Area Homicide Detectives arrested 3 of the 4 suspects involved in the murder of Ysidro Martinez. The victim, a 17-year-old male Hispanic and resident of Los Angeles, was confronted by the 4 suspects. On December 12, 2008, 23-year-old Rico Cruz of Los Angeles, 18-year-old Mario Cruz of Los Angeles, 21-year-old Rolando Garcia of Los Angeles, were all charged with murder and were being held on 1 million dollars bail. The outstanding suspect, 23-year-old Jaime Aquino who was believed to be the stabber, fled to Mexico after the crime. Homicide investigators tracked Jaime Aquino down in Mexico and requested that he return. On January 9, 2009, Aquino surrendered himself to Border Patrol Agents in San Ysidro, California, where Homicide Detectives were waiting. Aquino was arrested for murder and returned to Los Angeles where he is being held without bail.

One of the questions we have at La Raza Racism is why have the media networks largely ignored this story. The real shame is on all those ethno-centric Latino/Hispanic organizations who are silent on this tragedy. If that 17 year-old were killed by non-hispanics, La Raza racist groups and network media would run this story for a week straight.

Self-Inflicted Poverty by Walter E. Williams, Ph.D.

The following article is by Walter E. Williams, Ph.D. (African American). La Raza Racism has taken to liberty of modifying this piece.

Did you learn that the United States is rich because we have bountiful natural resources? This is just another distortion by the multi-cultural Left. Africa and South America are probably the richest continents in natural resources, but are home to the world's most miserably poor people. On the other hand, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Switzerland, and England are poor in natural resources, but their people are among the world's richest.

More than likely your liberal college professor taught that the legacy of colonialism explains Third World poverty. That's another lie! Canada was a colony. So were Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. In fact, the richest country in the world, the United States, was once a colony. By contrast, Ethiopia, Liberia, Tibet, Sik kim, Nepal and Bhutan were never colonies, but they are home to the world's poorest people.

There's no complete explanation for why some countries are affluent while others are poor, but there are some leads. Rank countries along a continuum according to whether they are closer to being free-market economies or whether they're closer to socialist or planned economies, a redistribution of wealth based on race, liberal guilt, and entitlements. Then, rank countries by per-capita income. We will find a general, not perfect, pattern whereby those countries having a larger free-market sector produce a higher standard of living for their citizens than those at the socialist end of the continuum.

What can the West do to help? The worst thing is more foreign aid. For the most part, foreign aid is government to government, and as such, it provides the financial resources that allow Latin American and Africa's corrupt regimes to buy military equipment, pay off cronies and continue to oppress their people. It also provides resources for the leaders to set up "retirement" accounts in Swiss banks. Even so-called humanitarian aid in the form of food is often diverted. Blundell reports that Mugabe's thugs rip labels off of wheat and corn shipments from the United States and Europe and re-label them as benevolence from the dictator.

Most of what Africa and Latin America needs, the West cannot give, and that's the rule of law, private-property rights, an independent judiciary and limited government. The real question now is whether biased college professors will include this position in their lectures and textbooks.

Where's Mexico's "Obama?"

Obama's election proved many things. The USA is great because power can shift without a shot being fired or a machete being wielded. Such a succession of power is simply not possible in many countries around the world. So the primary question for us at La Raza Racism wasn't so much, "Why is the world celebrating Obama's win?" But instead, why aren't other countries electing their own president of "progress?"

Three countries belong to NAFTA: USA, Canada and Mexico. Both Mexico and Canada claim victimhood by their bully neighbor, the USA. But Canada is pleasant and civil. Mexico is corrupt and incompetent! As Latinos, this contrast should shock us. Racist multi-culturalists need to spend less time giving Mexico a free pass with no accountability, and spend more time demanding Mexico elect their OWN "Obama!" Where's Mexico's president of "hope," "progress," and "change?" Where's Mexico's "Obama?"

Mexico needs to stop dumping, unloading, and exporting their social, corruption, and poverty problems on the US middle-class taxpayer through illegal immigration, and solve their own problems, Obama-style!

Good Sumariton Killed by 3 Hispanic Carjackers

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects responsible for the shooting death of a young man who was trying to prevent a crime.

On Jan. 11, 2009, at around 1:05 a.m., Foothill Division patrol officers responded to an assault with a deadly weapon broadcast in the 11000 block of El Dorado Avenue in Pacoima. The Responding officers arrived and found 18-year-old Javier Villareal suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Villareal observed a carjacking in progress and had tried to intervene by confronting the three Hispanic carjackers with a gun. Why was 18-year old Villareal walking around with a gun? Maybe because LA is becoming a "rich, vibrant Latino community." Well, one of the suspects fired at him multiple times, causing Villareal to die at the scene. Villareal is not a known gang member. The motive for the incident is believed to be gang related.

The victim of the carjacking was not hurt. The suspects are described as three male Hispanics in their early twenties. Get ready people! Rich, vibrant Tijuana culture coming to a neighborhood near you!

The US Military is Prohibiting US Marines from Visiting Tijuana, MEX.

As of Jan 23, 09, the US military is prohibiting US marines from visiting Tijuana, MEX. Why? Because Mexico is a ghetto and is on the verge of collapsing. Why do racist multi-culturalists always romanticize Mexico, but yet then ignore reality and facts? On several occasions, the US Department issues warning to Americans traveling to Mexico. We Latinos need to celebrate the fact that the USA is a point of destination, and acknowledge that many Latin countries are countries from which to escape.
