VICTORVILLE • For four years, Raymond Herrera has traveled the country as a national rally spokesman for the Minuteman Project, a group opposed to illegal immigration.
Now the Victorville resident is setting his sights on the Victor Valley, with a 6:30 p.m. rally Saturday at Bear Valley and Hesperia roads.
That, he said, will be followed by a presentation at the next Victorville City Council meeting. He said he plans to remind the council of their oaths of office and said the council has been complicit in permitting illegal aliens in local schools and businesses.
“The rule of law is not being equally administered,” he said. “It’s actually being circumvented when it comes to illegal aliens ... Our whole society is inundated with another culture and it’s having an adverse affect,” he said.
At a recent rally at Rep. Jerry Lewis’ office, Herrera said opponents challenged him to take his message to the High Desert.
Despite attacks and insults, Herrera said the Minuteman organization is far more racially and ethnically diverse than groups defending illegal immigration. As a decorated soldier in the Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade, Herrera gets emotional when he talks of the bonds between soldiers that dissolve racial lines.
“Our agenda is America,” he said. “Our agenda is the rule of law and American posterity. We’re not a racist group. We’re not asking any group to be elevated over any other group. But we’re asking that the American creed —the core values of this nation be invoked into this (illegal immigration) debate.”

there is not a government agency in the United States right now, be it the federal government, the state government, the county government, or the city government, that is not overflowing with politicians not working in the best interest of the American people or this country.
why are we not marching on our City Hall's, then our state capitals, and removing these corrupt people ??????? talk is so cheap
