LaRaza (literally, "the race"), a Hispanic organization that aggressively promotes the conquest and colonization of the U.S. by Mexicans and others, has decided to move its planned 2009 conference out of Kansas City because a member of that city's Park Board is an active member of the Minutemen, and its brave Mayor won't back down in the face of Hispanic threats. Among the alternatives being considered is Chicago--presumably because the Chicago city government is among the most illegal alien-friendly in the nation. [more...]

The existence of so-called "sanctuary cities"—cities (such as Chicago!) whose municipal governments have ordered police and other officials not to enforce Federal immigration law, even when they discover a flagrant violation—is a national disgrace. Can this disgusting practice be ended? Yes, if Senator David Vitter (R-LA) has his way... [more...]

Mark your calendars!

Chicagoland Friends of American Renaissance is proud to provide a rare opportunity to everyone in the Chicago area to hear one of the most significant thinkers of our time speak in person.

Professor Michael Hart is tentatively scheduled to speak at the CFAR meeting on Sunday, October 21st. His book explains, among other things, how racial differences in intelligence evolved, and the effect these differences have had on the histories of a diverse range of human cultures. [more...]

In an encouraging sign, aiders and abetters of illegal aliens are telling their lawbreaking "clients" to "be prepared" just in case the law is actually enforced. [more...]

In response to several letters he has written on various immigration matters, one of our members received the following letter from Congressman Mark Kirk (R-IL). Kirk's stand is encouraging. [more...]

A few weeks after a scheduled meeting of the Illinois Minuteman Project at the Crystal Lake Holiday Inn was shut down by police and Hispanic activist strongarming, another immigration conference is now being planned in the same town. Only this time, it will be for pro-immigration activists. Will the same thing happen to them? Not a chance. [more...]

An recent editorial in the Northwest Herald brings a welcome voice of sanity to the discussion of the case of illegal alien Elvira Arellano, who holed up in a Chicago church to avoid deportation. Among other things, the article states that "Arellano’s flouting of U.S. law, her arrogance, and her crass use of her own son is nothing to cheer about." Amen! [more...]

For a year, illegal alien Elvira Arellano had holed up in a Chicago church: Adalberto United Methodist. With the pastor’s approval, she used the church as a “sanctuary” in which she felt safe from the long arm of the law. When she finally left it, she was arrested, and eventually deported to Mexico. Score one for America. [...] [more...]

Ask most Chicagoans if they know of an anti-white "religion," and most will immediately mention Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam. But right here in Chicago is another black religious body that routinely blames whites for all of humanity's ills. It calls itself the "Trinity United Church of Christ." And Barack Obama is a routine attendee of the services. [more...]

A recent USA Today article has put a predictable spin on the Village of Carpentersville's fight to prevent mass colonization of the town by Mexicans. The article contains all the stock phrases "promise of a better life," "welcome," and so on. But no matter how much the powerful media elites demonize ordinary Americans' attempts to preserve their own nation and heritage, one thing is for sure: the new strategy of fighting back at the local level is working!
