EDITOR'S NOTE:  With our state Human Rights Commission recognizing the work and duties of Tulsa's Reverend Victor Orta by awarding him a Human Rights Award for his profiting from the promotion and aiding of illegal aliens, undermining our rule of law, and helping illegal aliens to embezzle millions of state taxpayers dollars; I thought it appropriate to list just a few of the articles and statements Victor Orta has made over the course of this year regarding his promoting of illegal aliens.
Well, our so-called "Human Rights Commission" has definitely proven that crime in Oklahoma does pay.

"...what we're seeing happen, isn't fair. (said) Dr. Victor Orta, II: "Oologah our next door neighbor took action to penalize employers that was hiring immigrant workers (illegal aliens) and that's just the beginning. It's going to be like a domino effect and (we're) stunned at the situation (and) we're not going to be silent."

"...(Tulsa) local activist Reverend Victor Orta says they're just getting started. "The election is 2008, and we feel like we need to begin now. It's a project that has not been done here of this magnitude."
"The emphasis will be on those citizens who don't speak English and might not understand the process to register. If they're not citizens, they'll get them started on the path to citizenship."

"The rally is protesting a proposed national law that would criminalize illegal immigrants. "Thats not America; that's not America. And if they're declared felons the path to citizenship is closed forever. Because we don't accept felons. And that's disastrous. (said illegal alien activist Victor Orta)"

"CSA (American Dream Coalition) President Rev. Victor Orta, II emphatically stated that the group promotes only peaceful and lawful opposition to such legislation, and, in a letter to the Tulsa World, Orta wrote, “Hispanics have a high regard for authorities. The vast majority of us (he forgot to exclude illegal aliens) respect our laws and do not condone disorderly conduct.” Orta was referring to a demonstration at 21st and Garnett on April 10 in which some participants were accused of aggressive behavior."

“As long as people are being discriminated against in any way, shape or form, we’ve got a long way to go,” (state Human Rights Commission Chairman Keith) McArtor said.  "There are always vestiges of deep hatred, prejudice and fear against anybody that’s not like us, whether you have a different religion, a different color skin, or a different language.”
"(Victor) Orta expressed optimism that the newly elected Democratic majority in Congress will help the ADC’s (American Dream Coalition - a pro-amnesty/anti-rule of law group) efforts and those of similar groups around the country."
“I feel very confident that we will see real [immigration] reform (aka amnesty) next year,” (Victor) Orta said."

Orta receives human rights award
 
Tulsa, Ok Semana 17 al 23 de Diciembre de 2006
 
TULSA, OK – Rev. Victor Orta, II, pastor of Tulsa’s El Pueblo De Dios church and president of the American Dream Coalition(ADC), was among eleven honorees who received the Oklahoma Human Rights Award during a ceremony at the state capital in Oklahoma City Dec. 7.
Orta, who said he was “humbled” by the honor,was recognized for his work advocating for the rights of immigrants and his efforts in furtherance of fair and comprehensive immigration reform. Orta’s ADC organized a highly visible, and peaceful, rally in support of fair treatment of the nation’s 11-12 million undocumented immigrants on May 1, and has been working tirelessly since that time to educate and register first-time Latino-American voters.  “It humbled me and also it motivated me,” Orta told La Semana del Sur after receivingthe Human Rights Award. “It motivated meto continue the struggle for human rightsand to be responsible to those for whom I advocate – to be true to them and to keepstanding up for their rights.  ”This is in fact the second time that Orta has been honored by the Human Rights Commission; Governor George Nigh presented the award to the Tulsa minister for Orta’s work in helping Cuban refugees to resettle in the Tulsa area in 1980. Oklahoma Human Rights Commission Chairman Keith McArtor, who nominated Orta this year, praised the 2006 recipients for helping to make the state a better place through their accomplishments, noted that the struggle for human rights is far from over. “As long as people are being discriminated against in any way, shape or form, we’ve got a long way to go,” McArtor said.  There are always vestiges of deep hatred, prejudice and fear against anybody that’s not like us, whether you have a different religion, a different color skin, or a different language.”  Orta expressed optimism that the newly elected Democratic majority in Congress will help the ADC’s efforts and those of similar groups around the country. “I feel very confident that we will see real [immigration] reform next year,” Orta said.  Clearly pleased that the vehemently anti-immigrant Rep. James Sensenbrenner, who had authored legislation that would have made instant felons of the nation’s undocumented and any citizens including clergy who offered them even the most cursory aid, was being replaced as chair of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, Orta noted wryly, “There is reason to be hopeful.” (La Semana del Sur)
