Fijian Experience: A Case to Ponder
A week or so ago, Fiji installed a new government headed by someone of an Indian descent. Once again, the indigenous Fijians have been relegated to playing second fiddle as a minority in their own country. It is an eye opening experience of the indigenous people being robbed of their political rights by permanent residents originating, by quirk of fate, from another country.
This experience in a neighboring Pacific island nation is the very essence of the NMI fighting tirelessly to protect its people from losing their political rights now fully protected under immigration provisions in the Covenant Agreement. It is unthinkable what the future holds for Chamorros and Carolinians if and when US
Immigration is made applicable in this tiny archipelago.
The application of US Immigration laws in the islands would definitely ignite the fire of racial tension where the real permanent guardians must fight to the hilt to regain what is rightfully theirs by birth. It must be understood that at no time in our history did we displace others in their home country and we most assuredly expect the same from our friends from afar.
What’s interesting in the case being built against the NMI by our detractors is the total insensitivity of the ultimate consequence of permanent displacement of our indigenous people in their own soil. It is obvious that their mendacious agenda isn’t to assist the NMI assimilate into the greater American Economic Community, but to ensure that through the application of US Immigration laws, both the tourism and apparel industries are brought to their knees or total bankruptcy that eventually translate into joblessness and helplessness.
Regrettably, it is a racist policy of killing our last means of earning a living so that Californians and new migrants from South of the Border are given a greater chance to find employment at our expense. This deficient approach of turning the fate of the indigenous people into lifetime prisoners of joblessness and helplessness is very un-American and far removed from all the boastful speeches President Clinton has enunciated when he and Vice President Gore declared that the “economic good times…must not leave anybody behind”.
It is a policy statement emanating from the White House and our obvious exclusion from such policy as US Citizens only erode our trust and confidence of American Democracy. Understandably, we’re dealing with spin-masters whose forte is rearranging the truth. It started out with lies about sexual escapade with Monica to boasting of the economic good times ensuring the skillful exclusion of Mariana.
I call this the Clinton Experiment of purposeful ruination of our rights to self-government and livelihood where the Pinto Boys have taken it upon themselves to be both policymakers and law enforcers as to grandly confuse their legal role. Interior’s OIA helmsman has no respect for the very essence of self-government as penned in the Covenant Agreement. He’s far more interested in displaying that in all our efforts to refine our democratic institutions that his white man’s words take precedence over US Law found under the Covenant Agreement.
Interior’s agenda is quite simple: The political and economic annihilation of the people of these islands. But let it be known that our people will fight with the last drop of their blood to protect the consequence of ill-conceived federal policies that means their very displacement in these tiny isles we call home. We do not wish to replicate the Fijian Experience! Si Yuus Maase`!
