Hillary Clinton’s Votes for Deporting, Enslaving, Incarcerating and Walling Away Latino Immigrants and her Support for the Bloody Installation of Augusto Pinochet
From her votes for immigrant slave labor forces followed by deportation of those slaves to building a triple layered wall in order to keep Latin Americans out of the United States to her eternal support for Augusto Pinochet, Hillary Clinton has shown a consistent fear of and hatred towards Latinos.
Hillary’s Anti-Latino Legislative Record
NAFTA, a treaty promoted and pushed by Hillary Clinton while her husband Bill was President, seriously damaged the economies of both the United States and Mexico. The extent of NAFTA’s gutting of jobs in the U.S. is often underestimated because of the removal of the America's unemployed from the official lists after a year to eighteen months of not working. Hillary has shifted the blame for the job losses from her own support of NAFTA and her promotion of Wall Street over America’s labor market onto the backs of innocent victims from south of the border who had nothing to do with NAFTA’s passage. Not understanding that Hillary’s Wall Street and free trade policies are the real cause of the social and economic problems and loss of jobs, many Americans have misdirected their anger towards Latino immigrants, undocumented workers and the American-born children of those immigrants.
Many Americans don’t realize that NAFTA also destroyed the indigenous farming communities in Mexico, polluted that country’s environment, and drove the people of Mexico deeper into poverty with that poverty getting worse every year and making their lives more and more unbearable. Many studies have shown that undocumented immigrants are in no way responsible for the loss of jobs in America but Hillary and others have kept that myth alive. Instead of taking responsibility for the depressed economy their own actions sacked, racist members of Congress, including Hillary Clinton (elected to the Senate in 2000), continued to blame and sought to punish undocumented workers who were contributing to the America's economy and raising their children to become model American citizens.
To this end, Hillary Clinton voted for a variety of measures to enslave, deport and wall away undocumented workers. In some cases, these measures failed because they were so extreme. In other cases they became law. Though her earlier bills also reflect an anti-immigrant attitude, this article will reflect Hillary’s votes in the last four years of Hillary’s time in the Senate.
She repeatedly voted for appropriations to create a fence and to strengthen and arm the border security, even to the point of waiving environmental laws to keep out Latinos and to detain and deport immigrants. Her votes for HR-1268 in 2005, S 2611 in 2006, S Amdt 4775 in 2006, HR 6061 in 2006, S Amdt 1333 in 2007, S Amdt 1316 in 2007, S 1348 in 2007, S 1639 in 2007, S Amdt 2580 in 2007, S Amdt 2405 in 2007, S Amdt 3117 in 2007, S Amdt 4309 in 2007, S Amdt 4309 in 2008, S Amdt 4259 in 2008, are some of the examples of her anti-immigrant agenda. Many of these bills contained provisions to lock up and detain hard-working immigrants with families. Some of these bills contained provisions to dramatically expand detention centers to incarcerate those who crossed the border illegally. Any immigrant simply caught driving under the influence of drugs would be subjected to subhuman treatment under some of this legislation. A double-layered wall wasn’t good enough. Hillary voted for a triple-layered wall (S 4775, 2006) to keep the undesirables as far away from HER country as possible. The East and West worked to tear down the Berlin wall, only to have Hillary and like-minded leaders vote to support a new wall to keep immigrants out of and Americans in the United States. Hillary voted for tens of thousands of immigrants to be detained daily. She turned hard working/freedom loving immigrants into a slave labor force with no rights. These bill did not provide any realistic path to citizenship. Instead, Hillary supported bills to detain, enslave and/or remove immigrants whom her votes forced to become low-cost laborers with no prospect of citizenship. Guest workers were forced to leave the country after the corporations using them as slave laborers were through with them. Former Representative Charlie Rangel described the Guestworker program Hillary pushed and voted for as “the closest thing I’ve ever seen to slavery.”
The Guestworker provisions that Hillary Clinton supported have been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “’legalized slavery.” Below is a list of some of the problems the Southern Poverty Law Center found with the Guestworker system of “indentured servitude,” that Hillary has criticized Bernie Sanders for opposing:

Former Representative Charlie Rangel described the Guestworker program Hillary pushed and voted for as “the closest thing I’ve ever seen to slavery.”
The Guestworker provisions that Hillary Clinton supported have been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “’legalized slavery.” Below is a list of some of the problems the Southern Poverty Law Center found with the Guestworker system of “indentured servitude,” that Hillary has criticized Bernie Sanders for opposing:
Bound to a single employer and without access to legal resources, guestworkers are:
• routinely cheated out of wages;
• forced to mortgage their futures to obtain low-wage, temporary jobs;
• held virtually captive by employers or labor brokers who seize their documents;
• forced to live in squalid conditions; and,
• denied medical benefits for on-the-job injuries.
The Guestworker policies that Hillary supported were so cruel and inhumane that on August 16, 2006, 82 immigrants protested the slavery, standing handcuffed in front of a New Orleans Federal courthouse, announcing a lawsuit they had filed regarding the program. Along with the handcuffs, copies of their Visa papers were strung around their necks.” These were among 200 workers who came on a 10-month H-2 visas basis from Bolivia, the Dominican Republican and Peru. Muzzaffar Chishti of the Migration Policy Institute noted that, “Temporary guest-worker programs are built around the needs of the employer…It’s today’s version of bonded labor.” Hillary, turning the truth upside down, claimed in more than one debate that opposition to this Guestworker program was anti-immigrant. A jury later awarded $14 million to one group of H2-2B workers who exposed the exploitation of Guestworkers along the Gulf Coast.
Groups such as LULAC (the League of United Latin American Citizens) marched in protest of measures Hillary supported. Freeways were closed down. A fourteen year old boy named Anthony Soltero led an immigrants’ rights march against these reform measures in 2006. To lead the march, he took a day off school. When he returned, he was reportedly threatened with expulsion and prison by the vice-principal of his school. Not wanting to go to prison, he committed suicide.
Devastated by the death of Anthony Soltero, Natasha and Alexandar Hull-Richter (the two youth activists who co-founded the Progressive Caucus of the California Democratic Party with the assistance of Congresswoman Barbara Lee) put together a resolution in support of Anthony Soltero and in support of his decision to march against unjust immigration laws. Natasha and Alexandar took this resolution to the resolutions committee of the California Democratic Party. The youths presented a photograph of Anthony Soltero to each member of the committee and made a presentation about the human rights issues represented by the boy. Though resolutions chairwoman Inola Henry was strongly supportive of the youth activists and their resolutions, Hillary Clinton backers on the committee pushed through a voice vote in support of the policy and threats that had lead to Soltero’s death Natasha and Alexanandar are now of voting age and are both supporting Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Presidential race.
Hillary’s Hero, the Butcher of Latin America
Hillary has repeatedly heaped praise on Henry Kissinger’s foreign policy. This foreign policy included the bloody installation of Augusto Pinochet and the deposing of the country's popular President Salvador Allende. Chile’s economy had been devastated by American corporations and had chosen a new path under Allende who worked to create equality and rights for the workers of Chile so they could have a decent life. The foreign policy Hillary praised Kissinger for was his policy of removing populist Latin American leaders using deadly force in order to install brutal dictators friendly to the very corporations that just happen to be funding Hillary Clinton’s bid for the U.S. Presidency. When Kissinger’s man Augusto Pinochet was installed with the assistance of U.S. military forces, thousands of innocent Chileans, including women and children, were executed. Below is a preview from the movie Missing, starring Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek. This movie was honored with numerous Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, and is considered perhaps the most honest and most accurate portrayal of American foreign policy ever filmed. Those innocent men, women and children who died across the globe as a result of Kissinger’s foreign policy were mostly Latinos and Asians. To Hillary, they were just non-white "human persons," not “corporate persons," such as those funding Hillary’s campaign for the Presidency.
In Hillary’s planned Administration, human persons are expecting to be denied more and more of their Constitutional rights. Hillary is financed by Wall Street, the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex, the pharmaceutical industrial complex, Monsanto, DuPont, the oil and gas industry, the consolidated media complex and the banking industry. This is the same banking industry that, through bailed out via the votes of Hillary and other banking donation recipients, has kicked millions of human persons out of their American homes into the streets. Hillary actually voted for legislation to allow the banks to throw people out of their homes over medical bills and credit card debts. There are more than five empty, foreclosed-upon homes for every homeless person in America. And while Americans are second class citizens to Hillary’s corporations, the foreign policy she praised involved thousands of innocent Latin Americans being gunned down and slaughtered by Pinochet’s and Kissinger’s forces as if those Latin Americans had no value whatsoever and no right to elect the President of their choice.
Hillary’s policies as Secretary of State demonstrated that she has tried to follow and succeeded in following in Kissinger’s footsteps. In 2012 and 2013, she tried to force the overturning of the re-election of a popular Latin American leader who had taken ill. Her State Department supported the installation of a man who had been previously been involved in an American-orchestrated kidnapping of that country's leader in an attempted coup d’ etat. Her attitude was that, if the President was too sick to attend his inaugural event, he should be removed and the election should be undone and election loser should be installed. In 2012, her State Department encouraged the British to storm the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in order to apprehend a newsman who had exposed the U.S. military's murder of Reuters newsmen and the injuring of children in Iraq. The British declined to follow such an extreme measure. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s lack of respect for the news service was similar to that of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. According to the family of American reporter Charlie Horman, killed in the Kissinger’s Pinochet coup, Kissinger authorized the young man’s execution.
Significant numbers of Democrats across the country are saying they will not vote for Hillary Clinton if she is nominated. She has lower approval ratings among people of her own party than any potential Democratic nominee before her. Polls show she cannot beat most or any of the Republican candidates for President. Whether at the nomination stage or in the general election, it may be the supporters of Salvador Allende and of other U.S. militarily deposed Latin American Presidents who will have a belated victory in the 2016 Presidential election as they watch the woman who supported Pinochet go down to defeat.
