New York Times: The Big Money Behind the Left's Amnesty
Push
by Breitbart News 14 Nov 2014
Julia Preston at the New York Times
reveals the big-money organizers of progressives' campaign to pass immigration
reform legislation which would legalize millions of illegal immigrants within
the United States' borders.
The calls started shortly after President Obama’s news conference on
the day after the midterm elections. He had said he would go ahead with action
on immigration before year’s end, in spite of warnings from Republicans that he
could wreck relations with the new Congress they will control. White House
officials were calling immigrant advocates to talk strategy and shore up their
support.
The officials wanted to reassure them, several activists
said, that the president, after delaying twice this year, was ready to take the
kind of broad measures they had demanded to shield immigrants here illegally
from deportation.
The White House calls — and the president’s decision itself
— reflected the clout the immigrant movement has built up in recent years, as
it grew from a cluster of scattered Washington lobbying groups into a national
force.
A vital part of that expansion has involved money: major
donations from some of the nation’s wealthiest liberal foundations, including the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York,
the Open Society Foundations of the financier George Soros, and the Atlantic
Philanthropies. Over the last decade those donors have invested more
than $300 million in immigrant organizations, including many fighting for a
pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

Park51
Controversy
Although the Park51 building would
not be visible from the World Trade Center site,[33] opponents of the Park51 project
have said that establishing a mosque so close to Ground Zero
would be offensive since the hijackers in the September 11, 2001
attacks were Islamic terrorists. Supporters have pointed
out that some victims and victims' families are in favor of the Park51 project
and that some victims were also Muslims. Prominent supporters and opponents of
the project can be found among the families of the 9/11 victims, the American
and worldwide Muslim communities,[5][43][106][123][124][125] and local and national politicians,[43][126] making it a divisive political
campaign issue in the 2010 midterm
elections.[16][127] The controversy over the project
has coincided with unexpected protests of mosque projects in other states,
leading to concerns that relations between Muslims and non-Muslims within the
US are deteriorating.[16][128][129]
Project supporters have argued that the Park51
building would not be visible from the World Trade Center site,[33] and that some victims and victims'
families have expressed support for the Park51 project, as well as
acknowledging the fact that victims of the 9/11 attacks also included Muslims.

Nation of Islam
Criticism
The
first book analyzing the Nation
of Islam was The Black Muslims in America (1961)
by C. Eric Lincoln. Lincoln describes the use of doctrines during religious
services.
Often
the minister reads passages from well-known historical, sociological, or
anthropological works, and finds in them inconspicuous references to the black
man's true history in the world.... Occasionally the minister chides the
audience for its skepticism: "I know you don't believe me because I happen
to be a black man. Well, you can look it up in a book I’m going to tell you
about that was written by a white man." He then reads off references that
his hearers are challenged to check.
In
recent years, the embrace of Dianetics under Farrakhan has
drawn much criticism that the Nation of Islam is becoming too close to the Church of Scientology and the ideas of its founder L. Ron Hubbard, whom Farrakhan has said he
respects. Farrakhan has praised Hubbard, saying he was "exceedingly valuable
to every Caucasian person on this Earth". Of followers of Scientology, he
stated "You can still be a Christian; you just won't be a devil Christian.
You'll still be a Jew, but you won't be a satanic Jew!".
