“It’s the individual that manages the Civic Center that had originally notified us that we would not be allowed,” El Paso GOP chairman Adolpho Telles tells Watchdog.org. “We distribute them at the end of the ceremony, which is what we’d historically done.”
According to Telles, the immigration facility manager is under order from the feds.
Telles says he received an email from Margaret A. Hartnett, the USCIS El Paso field office director, which read in part that she was “happy to hear that you will abide by our policy” that “requires all non-USCIS participants to not engage in political, commercial, or religious activity of any kind, before, during, or after the ceremony.”
Hartnett didn’t say which of those provisions the Constitution and Declaration of Independence apparently violates.
The GOP chairman points out that he and the other party activists handing out America’s founding documents have never been “participants” in the traditional sense of the word.
Telles attended a city council meeting to voice his objections.
“We have done that in the past (handed out constitutions), and we are notifying the city of this issue that concerns us because I think that violates our free speech,” he tells local radio KVIA.
Lisa Sprinkle also attended the meeting and said, “I am a naturalized citizen. I remember that day when I was 9 years old as if it was today.” She say she enjoys handing out the documents and wants to see the tradition continue. Read the full story here.
If anything, new citizens should be given access to our founding documents and instilled with an appreciation of what this nation traditionally stands for.
