Though, more often than not, it is a "faux pas" to
attempt to place people into tight little categories,
never-the-less one can not help observe that certain
people do possess incredible similar personality
traits. This is certainly the case with two
columnists that write for the Jewish World Review;
one a daughter of Filipino immigrants by the name of
Michelle Malkin and the other a descendant of
Mexicans by the name of Linda Chavez-Gersten.
Both are married to Jews, both are Republicans and both are being utilized to attack Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. Linda Chavez-Gersten is the better known of the two. Linda Chavez recently made the national news after she was "dumped" by President Bush as a nominee for Secretary of Labor as a result of a near revolution by the Mexican-American electorate because of Chavez ' participation in the "English Only Movement" that caused great irreparable harm to bi-lingual children of Mexican descent. Michelle Malkin (Malchin is the Jewish spelling) is presently attempting to make a name for herself by going on a rampage against Mexican immigrants and more recently against Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante of California.
Michelle Malkin is presently being afforded quite a lot of time by the mainstream media , especially the Fox News Channel, to attack Mexican immigrants and Cruz Bustamante, the front runner for governor of California in the ongoing recall election. Malkin recently wrote a book titled "Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals & Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores" in which she attempts to convince Americans that Mexican immigrants may be dangerous terrorists. In addition, she was recently on the Fox News Channel talking about her recent article titled, "Bustamante, MEChA and the media" in which she vehemently attacks the Lieutenant Governor of being a "Chicano Power" militant who plans to return Alta California back to Mexico.
We ask, why doesn't Malkin lay off our backs and perhaps focus on the growing problem of illegal immigration from the Philippines. On August 20 of this year, 60 more Filipinos arrived in Manila after being deported from the US because of supposed terrorist ties. Maita Santiago, the Filipino Migrante International Secretary-General, said, "Like the hundreds of other Filipinos deported since 9/11, we expect this group will also be handcuffed and treated like terrorists or hardened criminals." There have been at least 465 Filipinos deported from the US since September 2001. Most of the Filipinos who are deported are victims of the Absconder Apprehension Initiative Program. This program targets about 12,000 Filipino immigrants for arrest, detention and deportation (most with expired visas), according to the Filipino Community Support Group (FOCUS) in San Jose, California. One of these deported Filipinos, Jerome Aricheta, 28 years old, became severely depressed and hung himself in his Makati City home.
Doesn't Michelle Malkin care about her own people? Has she forgotten who she is after marrying Jesse D. Malkin, a Rand Corporation analyst? Perhaps, now that she lives among the "white" affluent people in Maryland, she like Linda Chavez-Gersten, has turned her back on her ethnic group in return for the little economic comforts she is now receiving. She is a classical "malinchista" in my book.
