One outraged federal lawmaker, Texas Congressman Steve Stockman, summed it up best on social media, writing that; “Obama closed the National Mall to WWII vets. You can visit it tomorrow, but only if you’re in the illegal alien rally.” Stockman referred to veterans who were not permitted to visit the National World War II Memorial on the National Mall during the first day of the government shutdown. Judicial Watch has filed a public records request with the Department of the Interior for information related to blocking public access to national monuments in Washington D.C.
JW is also investigating how the illegal immigrant groups received a government permit to hold their event when the area is supposedly closed over the shutdown. The rally was promoted in English and Spanish as the “March for Immigrant Dignity and Respect” (“Marcha Por La Dignidad y el Respeto de Los Inmigrantes.”). It was hosted by a number of groups including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) and a variety of other community organizations as well as Mexican airline company Aero Mexico.
It appears that the Obama administration unscrupulously gave the organizers of the immigrant rally special treatment. Even the mainstream media was forced to acknowledge this with one national newspaper writing this: “After seeing a group of veterans forced to move aside barriers to access the World War II Memorial last week, some are upset over what they see as the Obama administration giving preferential treatment to a group pushing for one his biggest legislative priorities.”
