McCain Begins Pathetic Pander for Illegal Alien Vote

McCain, once again, is more concerned with the votes of Foreign Nationals and their supporters than he is with Independent Conservatives. Yes, there may be 20 million illegals, but at least not all of them will be voting in November, especially with the USSC upholding the constitutionality of voter ID laws. We ICONS, however, will be voting and we also happen to be American citizens. It still amazes me that he feels we will at some point just automatically fall in line.

He's wrong. When wishing everyone a happy Cinco de Mayo yesterday, he announced a Spanish website for his campaign (and we all know that American citizens don't know how to speak English, nor should we encourage them to), and his intention to speak at La Raza's (The Race) conference in July.

McCain reaches out to Latinos for votes

He acknowledged that his party's image has taken a beating among Latinos as a result of the "tenor" of the illegal-immigration debate during the primaries. McCain said he couldn't gauge the political impact of Arpaio's roundups of illegal immigrants and other criminals in largely Hispanic neighborhoods. But he ultimately blamed U.S. government inaction for forcing local officials to enforce the law...McCain never fully abandoned his support for other reforms, saying that the government needs to demonstrate that it can fix the border mess before it can expect the American public to consider allowing in temporary workers and implementing other proposals that are seen as benefits for immigrants.

"I believe that the majority of Hispanics share our view that the border must be secured, and the border must be secured first," McCain said. "But they also want us to have an attitude, which I think most Americans do, that these are God's children and they must be taken care of, or the issue must be addressed, in a humane and compassionate fashion. And I will continue to carry that message with the priority that we must secure our borders first." [...]

Elias Bermudez, founder of the Phoenix-based advocacy group Immigrants Without Borders, is a McCain supporter who believes that, as president, McCain and his Democratic allies on Capitol Hill could deliver landmark immigration-reform legislation within the first 100 days of his administration.

As I've said, McCain can screw this up, and to remind people like us of his obsession with establishing a new slave class, at the expense of the Rule of Law and this nations' sovereignty, is the beginning of that screw-up.

Thinking Is Hard!

That's the reason, at least, an illegal alien has given to explain her opposition to her workplace requirement she speak English on the job.

...Expecting a baby in May, Rios expressed concern about speaking out publicly against the policy. However, she said she felt compelled to do so because she believes it is unfair.

"This is my first language -- Spanish -- and it's hard for me sometimes when I'm speaking. I have to stop and think what I'm going to say in English," Rios said. [Yeah, that's called "learning another language."]

She said supervisors have been cracking down and told her she could not say "hola," but "hi."

Hmm, yeah, that "thinking" part when it comes to saying hello. Now that's a back-breaker! I wonder if she's planning on buying extra diapers when she as the baby--you know, some for the infant and some for herself?

Typhoid Fever in New York

A New York food service worker has been diagnosed with Typhoid Fever. And of course the 'authorities' are refusing to tell us from what underdeveloped country the man is from or from where his friends and families were 'visiting.'

Food worker at Hicksville pizzeria has typhoid fever

A kitchen worker at a Hicksville pizzeria has contracted typhoid fever, putting more than 100 customers at risk for the .potentially deadly bacterial infection, the Nassau County Department of Health and the restaurant said Saturday...

Authorities would identify the kitchen worker only as a New York City man. He worked without symptoms on March 14 and 15, and had some symptoms on March 16, authorities said. He called in sick on March 17, Steinberg said.

Typhoid is a bacterial infection passed on through eating food or drinking water containing infected feces or urine. It is rare in developed countries...The disease may have been passed to the kitchen worker from relatives visiting from overseas, authorities said, though they would not say from what country or when the relatives visited.

Let's see, a kitchen worker at Sbarros. Yeah, absolutely a Swede. From overseas? How about from 'overboarder'? And the relatives visited? So suddenly we have illegal aliens who just came for a minute, go all the way to New York, and go back? Now that is a story! It's amazing what the Establishment Media and so-called authorities go through in a ridiculous attempt to cover-up how illegal aliens are one of the primary health threats to this country.

How exactly a 'guest worker' program is supposed to change this situation and protect us from people who come from a nation with no national immunization program, no national sanitation standards, and no national healthcare network or database (and that would be Mexico, now Sweden) is beyond me.

'Virtual' Border Fence Scrapped

After wasting $85.5 million dollars, the Feds have finally admitted the ridiculous 'virtual' border fence is a complete and utter failure. Not surprisingly, the Amnesty Feds have announced they won't have a working 'virtual' fence for at least another three years, toward the end of the next president's term. No matter who the winner, this now gives them more than enough time to resurrect the amnesty bill while keeping our nation's border wide open. I'm simply speechless at the overwhelming incompetence and BS surrounding this entire debacle.

'Virtual Fence' Along Border To Be Delayed

The Bush administration has scaled back plans to quickly build a "virtual fence" along the U.S.-Mexico border, delaying completion of the first phase of the project by at least three years and shifting away from a network of tower-mounted sensors and surveillance gear, federal officials said yesterday.

Technical problems discovered in a 28-mile pilot project south of Tucson prompted the change in plans, Department of Homeland Security officials and congressional auditors told a House subcommittee.

Though the department took over that initial stretch Friday from Boeing, authorities confirmed that Project 28, the initial deployment of the Secure Border Initiative network, did not work as planned or meet the needs of the U.S. Border Patrol...

Investigators for the Government Accountability Office had earlier warned that the effort was beset by both expected and unplanned difficulties. But yesterday, they disclosed new troubles that will require a redesign and said the first phase will not be completed until near the end of the next president's first term...

But officials said yesterday that they now expect to complete the first phase of the virtual fence's deployment -- roughly 100 miles near Tucson and Yuma, Ariz., and El Paso, Tex. -- by the end of 2011, instead of by the end of 2008...He added that the system was developed with "minimal input" from Border Patrol agents, resulting in an unworkable "demonstration project" instead of a operating pilot system. He blamed the DHS for acting too hastily in trying to deliver a working pilot by last June.

A nongovernment source familiar with the project said that the Bush administration's push to speed the project during last year's immigration debate led Boeing to deploy equipment without enough testing or consultation...With more time, the source said, equipment and software will be tested more carefully and integrated with input from Border Patrol agents in three remote locations. "Doing it this way mitigates all kinds of risk," said the source, who was not authorized to speak publicly. Those running the project "basically took equipment, put it on towers and put it out there without any testing as such" because of the tight deadline.

Mexican drug hitmen kill singer near U.S. border

Drug hitmen have killed a popular Mexican singer along with his manager and assistant near the U.S. border, authorities said on Wednesday, the latest murder among musicians who sing "narcocorrido" ballads glorifying drug traffickers.

The body of Jesus Rey David Alfaro, known as "The Little Rooster," was one of six that turned up tortured, murdered and pinned with threatening messages for Mexico's army last week in the border town of Tijuana near San Diego...

The official was referring to Tijuana's main drug smuggling cartel, which is fighting a gory turf war with traffickers from Mexico's Pacific state of Sinaloa, led by the country's most-wanted man, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman.

Alfaro, a regular act at Tijuana's biggest bars and music halls, was found covered in a blanket in wasteland on the edge of the city with rope marks around his neck, suggesting he was tortured before he was shot in the head, the attorney general's office said.

And in other news from the border...

Clinton Needs Texas Latinos to Rescue Her Embattled Candidacy

Oh brother.

On Fox's Cavuto Show Today, 4:50pm ET

We'll be talking about Obama's support for driver licenses for illegal aliens and if that will hurt his campaign. Regardless of where a person stands on the issue, the truth of the matter is Americans all across the political spectrum are opposed to that sort of measure. It cost former California governor Gray Davis his job, and almost sank NY Guv Spitzer. So, the answer for the primaries: it depends on how many illegal aliens vote and get away with it. If Obama by some chance is the Dem nominee, it will crush his candidacy.

Hope you can tune in.

Obama Pledges Driver Licenses for Illegals

His style may be similar to JFK, but the substance couldn't be more different. Bottom line: Obama is more from the Teddy wing than the RFK wing of that particular family. And if I were Obama, the last person I'd be taking 'driving' lessons from would be Teddy.

Obama takes big risk on driver's license issue

Sen. Barack Obama easily won the African American vote in South Carolina, but to woo California Latinos, where he is running 3-to-1 behind rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, he is taking a giant risk: spotlighting his support for the red-hot issue of granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

It's a huge issue for Latinos, who want them [Ha! It's illegal aliens who want them, not "Latinos." Americans who are of Hispanic descent are as opposed to rewarding illegal aliens as much as everyone else. Sheesh.] It's also a huge issue for the general electorate, which most vehemently does not. Obama's stand could come back to haunt him not only in a general election, but with other voters in California, where driver's licenses for illegal immigrants helped undo former Gov. Gray Davis.

Clinton stumbled into that minefield in a debate last fall and quickly backed off. First she suggested a New York proposal for driver's licenses for illegal immigrants might be reasonable. Then she denied endorsing the idea, and later came out against them.

Asked directly about the issue now, her California campaign spokesman said Clinton "believes the solution is to pass comprehensive immigration reform."

They're all the same. Never forget the hit Hillary took when she supported Spitzer's plan. Now her answer to that is to employ the McCain style of lying to us. After all, they are such good friends. And as the saying gores, with friends like these who needs Osama bin Laden to destroy the country?

Remember, this issue emerged during a November debate because of that Spitzer debacle. On a serious issue Obama isn't quite as 'inspirational,' is he? Now, when he needs t pander to the illegal alien vote, he seems to have found his voice, something that was missing on November when asked for a yes or no answer.

Like I said, they're all the same.

Texan of the Year: The Illegal Alien

=Texans of the Year!!

According to the Dallas Morning News. One little newsflash factoid to that birdcage liner--illegal aliens aren't Texans. You have to be a citizen to be called that. Read all about it with one of the most racist, pandering editorials I've ever read in my life.

2007 DMN Texan of the Year: The Illegal Immigrant

He's the Illegal Immigrant, and he's the 2007 Dallas Morning News Texan of the Year – for better or for worse. Given the public mood, there seems to be little middle ground in debate over illegal immigrants. Spectacular fights over their presence broke out across Texas this year, adding to the national pressure cooker as only Texas can.

To their champions, illegal immigrants are decent, hardworking people who, like generations of European immigrants before them, [Hahahahaha! Yeah, just like all the other immigration into this country] just want to do better for their families and who contribute to America's prosperity. They must endure hatred and abuse by those of us who want the benefits of cheap labor but not the presence of illegal immigrants.

Especially here in Texas, his strong back and willing heart help form the cornerstone of our daily lives, in ways that many of us do not, or will not, see. The illegal immigrant is the waiter serving margaritas at our restaurant table, the cook preparing our enchiladas. He works grueling hours at a meatpacking plant, carving up carcasses of cattle for our barbecue (he also picks the lettuce for our burgers). He builds our houses and cuts our grass. She cleans our homes and takes care of our children...

This essay cannot put a name or a face to an illegal immigrant, because that would subject him to possible deportation. Because he lives underground, the illegal immigrant becomes, in our rancorous debate, less a complex human being and more a blank screen upon which both sides can project their hopes and fears.

In the same article, one of the more interesting comments from Mike Huckabee, revealing just how clueless and idiotic that man really is:

GOP presidential contender Mike Huckabee, born again as an immigration hard-liner, told The New Yorker this month that wherever he campaigns, immigration is the first thing voters ask about. "It's just red hot," he says, "and I don't fully understand it."

I'm sure he doesn't.

Tancredo To Drop Out of Presidential Race

The man who single-handedly brought the illegal immigration debacle into the national spotlight will announce tomorrow he is dropping out of the presidential race. I've met Tom on a number of occasions, and he's been a guest on my show many times. Regardless of whether or not you agree with his politics, I can tell you he's a great guy. He truly cares about our nation and I know whatever he chooses to do, he'll make a difference.

Tom Tancredo to Drop Out of Presidential Race

Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo plans to drop out of the race during an announcement Thursday afternoon in Des Moines, Iowa, GOP sources close to the campaign have told FOX News.

Tancredo, who has aggressively pushed his anti-illegal immigration message throughout the GOP primary race, has not been able to break through in the polls against his better known competitors. He and California Rep. Duncan Hunter typically poll in the single digits behind Texas Rep. Ron Paul in national surveys.

Tancredo would not personally confirm whether he will pull out of the race.

“I will neither confirm nor deny that report,” Tancredo told FOX News. But he added, “I wouldn’t have a press conference if I didn’t have anything to say.”

Another stalwart on illegal immigration, Rep. Peter King of New York, endorsed Fred Thompson this week. The question now becomes, who will Tom endorse? My guess is Thompson as well.

Tom has also announced he will not run for another term in the House. This does leave open, however, a run for the Senate. Let's hope he does, because no matter who is elected president in '08, illegal immigration will remain an issue, and we're going to need as many allies on the issue as possible in Congress.

Dem Plan: Bait and Switch on Amnesty

Democrat leadership is apparently between a rock and a hard place when it comes to amnesty for illegal aliens. So what's their solution? They are now publicly discussing starting out with a "get tough" approach before they sweep in and push for amnesty.

This grand plan of the Dem Elite (and the Repubs, as well), relies on one general assumption--that you and I are brain dead idiots. They haven;t learned their lesson, and as each day goes by it becomes more and more apparent that there is one group out there that is blind, deaf and dumb--and it isn't us.

Immigration roils Dems

House Democratic leaders are being whipsawed on immigration policy by two groups within their caucus — Hispanic lawmakers who want an end to Democratic support of enforcement-only immigration bills and vulnerable Democrats from swing districts who say a “get tough” approach is necessary to keep their seats in 2008.

Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chairman Joe Baca (D-Calif.) plans to address the Democratic Caucus at next week’s meeting to reassure colleagues that they can be tough while creating a path to citizenship for undocumented and illegal immigrants...

Worried about appearing soft on the issue in an election year, yet knowing they cannot afford to alienate Hispanic voters, Democratic leaders have let conservative members join legislative forces with Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) and allowed passage of a non-binding motion prohibiting the government from suing groups that require employees to speak English at work...

In The New Republic last month, [Democrat pollster] Greenberg equated the immigration issue with welfare reform, saying Democrats had to get tough on enforcement before creating a path to citizenship. Many political strategists disagree.

The president’s Hispanic support withered after Republicans supported legislation that called for the deportation of 12 million illegal and undocumented immigrants. Democrats overwhelmingly won the Hispanic vote in 2006 and the party wants to solidify that support next year.

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), who spoke at an NDN forum on immigration on Wednesday, said that unlike Republicans, Democrats avoid references in debate to “those people.” He added, “It shocked me to hear that on the Senate floor … If we show our understanding on those issues, we’ll have a unique chance at a record Latino vote and a Democratic president [in 2008].”

In black and white, plain and simple: their plan is to sell out this nation and destroy our sovereignty for perceived votes. These people are corrupt whores and should be banned from public office.

Don't think for one minute this discussion is happenng only within the Democrat party, this virus is in the Repub swamp as well.

Burglars Shot by Neighbor May Be Part of Larger Colombian Gang

The two men Joe Horn shot and killed as they emerged after robbing his neighbor's home, may be linked to an illegal alien gun-running Colombian gang. Aren't we shocked.

Just another reason to make Joe Horn Citizen of the Year.

DPS was watching burglars shot by Horn

Even before their deaths prompted a series of heated debates about the use of deadly force, detectives at the Department of Public Safety had their eye on Diego Ortiz and Miguel Dejesus.

The two were shot and killed by Joe Horn, a Pasadena man who thought they were burglarizing his neighbor’s home last month.

According to a DPS memo obtained by 11 News, the department was investigating the use of Puerto Rican birth certificates by Colombians seeking to obtain Texas driver’s licenses.

Both Ortiz and Dejesus had applied for licenses. Dejesus listed his country of origin as Puerto Rico, but both men were Colombian... A much wider probe has been launched into an organized syndicate of Colombians who are engaged in illegal weapons sales and home break-ins – just like the one Ortiz and Dejesus were involved in last month in Pasadena.

Yeah, let's just open that border right up. It would not only please the president, so-called Homeland Security and Michael Chertoff, but it sure would make life easier for those gun-running, drug-dealing Colombians.

"Gringo" Is to Paperwork As "Wetback" Is To Hygiene

Retailer denies sign is a slur

A Casa Furniture and Bedding store in Alexandria has been advertising easy credit with a twist: “no gringo papers” necessary.

A sign outside the store at the intersection of North Beauregard and King streets reads, “Credito sin papeles de gringo.” In English, that could be translated to say “Credit without gringo papers.”

Blanca Granados, the store's assistant manager, translated the message to mean “just 'without white papers,' like Social Security or like that.”

Sure. And the term 'Wetback' is really a compliment for people who shower a lot because they're so committed to good hygiene. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Spitzer Caves, Drops Plan for Illegal Alien Licenses

What an absolutely pathetic man. Having to manage politicians like they're children is getting old. I do wonder how much Hillary had to do with this. After her absurd debate performance on the issue, it's safe to say this is the last thing she wanted hanging around during her pseudo-campaign season.

Spitzer will drop license plan for illegal immigrants

A humbled Gov. Eliot Spitzer -- facing an insurrection from New York Democrats -- is ditching his controversial plan to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants that provoked a massive national backlash.

Spitzer will announce he's "scrapping the plan" after a meeting of the state's congressional delegation on Capitol Hill this morning, according to his spokeswoman, Christine Anderson. The license proposal had proven to be a political albatross for Democratic supporters, especially Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was grilled on the issue during a debate in Philadelphia late last month.

Spitzer is expected to tell the delegation that "immigration is a federal, not a state issue," said one congressional source familiar with the governor's thinking.

That explanation is virtually identical to Clinton's statements on the issue -- and gives the Democratic front-runner a ready-made answer when the topic is inevitably raised at tomorrow's Democratic debate in Las Vegas.

In other words, it's Hillary who will give all illegal aliens driver licenses, so don't you worry your pretty little Metro Sexual head Eliot. After all, Hillary now owes you--you've given her the perfect non-answer about this issue, too. "It's a federal issue." Okay, and so what re you going to do about it?

Wait, I suppose that depends on what the meaning of "illegal" is. Is.

UPDATE 11/14:

As expected, Spitzer had his press conference today, all the while complaining about how all us ignorant rubes ruined his plan to make the world better.

You want a textbook example of what "arrogant SOB" means? Listen to the news coverage is this man's press conference. Priceless.

The Story That Could Single-Handedly Stop Illegal Immigration

We need this reported in Mexico. I'm just sayin'. And hey, maybe this finally explains Hillary's obsession with nationalizing health care.

Suit: Man Loses Penis After Cancer Went Untreated

Salvadoran man with terminal cancer is suing the government, claiming he was denied proper medical treatment when he was detained at an immigration facility...Castaneda, 35, claims the cancer wouldn't have reached the terminal stage if he'd received proper treatment. [Or, of course, if he hadn't broken the law by illegally entering this country]. His penis was amputated after he was freed from federal custody in February and he's undergoing chemotherapy...

Castaneda eventually had a biopsy and surgery at a Los Angeles County hospital, but the cancer has continued to spread. While his attorneys said they couldn't explain why Castaneda was freed, the suit speculates the government wanted to avoid paying for the biopsy.

It's important to note-- the man still had his surgery here, which we paid for, and we continue to pay for his cancer treatment.

'Farmers' Infected With Spoiled Child Syndrome

As they throw a temper tantrum because, *sniff*, there are fewer illegal alien slave workers to pick their fruit. Now they're threatening to let food rot because they prefer to not pay a living wage to American citizens.

Oh, and we're all supposed to rush out and buy a supply of Depends because food prices might go higher. Actually, we should start saving money--sure, I'll pay a little extra money for some strawberries if I get to stop paying for free health care for illegal aliens.

I love this headline, btw. It's as though we're supposed to believe farmers have absolutely no control over getting other people into the fields to do some work. Like God is supposed to deliver their help, dropping the new crew from the sky Or maybe it's more like a spoiled brat screaming as flails about becuse he's not getting his way. Losers

NorCal Farmers Worry Fruit Will Rot On Trees

Farmers in and around Northern California are starting to feel the pinch from tighter border security and visa requirements, NBC11's Daniel Garza reported Monday.

Some farmers told Garza they expect some of their fields to remain unpicked. Some said they believe their fields will end up filled with rotting produce.

The Bush administration has learned of the possible loss of millions of dollars for thousands of farmers throughout the country, and is attempting to loosen visa requirements for workers.

Working in the fields is a hard job that few will do, according to Pete Aiello of Uesugi Farms in Gilroy. "We'll have guys out in the field as early as 5 o'clock in the morning and the last guys won't leave the field until six or seven o'clock at night," said Uesugi.

Yeah, you lazy bum Americans. Working a 12-14 hour day is something you stupid slobs won't even consider. Because it's haaaaaard, and you might have to get up early. Knowing that, I'm sure Mr. Aiello would be shocked, just shocked, to encounter these Americans who appear to work very hard as coalminers:

And these Americans, who work all the time, 24/7, as troops in the middle of the battlefield of Iraq. They have to get up early and freakish monsters try to kill them, too!:

Somehow, other sectors that include hard and even dangerous work (and last time I checked, picking fruit wasn't high on the Danger Grid) have no problem finding 'workers,' employees or warriors, all from the same pool of American citizens.

If a farm, big or little, refuses to hire Americans then they should go out of business and allow an entity that will hire Americans take over. Plain and simple.

The Real Price of Lettuce

Lettuce Head

The County of San Diego has figured out how much it costs the their local taxpayers to take care of illegal aliens (HT Pat S.). Amazing how expensive the McCain/Kennedy/Bush 'cheap labor' really is. What this amounts to, of course, is taxpayer subsidies for corporations, via the rank moral failure of the establishment of a new slave labor class.

We're all better than this, and Mexicans certainly deserve better, like their own country not being a Narco Government and actually worth living in.

Immigrant cost study officially received by county board

San Diego-- Direct expenditures by the county of San Diego in the 2006-07 fiscal year on behalf of illegal immigrants totaled $101.5 million, according to a report presented Tuesday to the Board of Supervisors.

Nearly half of that sum – $48.5 million – was spent by the Sheriff's Department to house inmates in area jails, according to the report by John Weeks, a San Diego State University professor and director of the school's International Population Center...

Weeks estimated that there are nearly 210,000 illegal immigrants living in San Diego County, comprising 6.8 percent of the population.

That means that the county directly spends $527 for each person, and that those expenditures amount to $35.21 per resident, his report says.

The figures only include county expenses, not those of hospitals and schools, which are funded privately or by other levels of government.

Supervisor Dianne Jacob said the costs of illegal immigration come out of the general fund. “That's money we could be spending on others things – fixing our roads, our libraries, our parks, our trails,” she said.

Amnesty Is Back, Bit by Bit, Including $25 Mil for La Raza

A message from Pat S.

****

The message from the American people was border security first and it doesn't make one damn bit of difference to these politicians! The trouble with conservatives is they think once the point has been won, it's over. Remember all the glee about this won't be back for at least two years? We have to battle every single day!

The L.A. Times story says the central conflict in the failed comprehensive bill was a path to legalization for illegals. That's because we kept harping on amnesty which to me was a secondary matter. The central issue is border security. Nothing else should be considered until that is accomplished. Crackdowns and deportations, even though only for show, are useless without a secure border.

By the time Congress is done with piecemeal legislation, every conceivable life condition will make an illegal eligible for legal status. The magnet isn't just jobs. Freebies are increasing. Chris Dodd wants to give La Raza $25 mil just for Hispanics. Republicans and Democrats will get into a bidding war with our money to win over the Hispanic vote.

What will it take to stop this? This issue should be a guaranteed win for a Republican in '08.
Congress quietly returns to immigration [This article requires a log-in to the L.A. Times. If you want to bypass compulsory registration for that site or the multitude of others that require it, go to www.bugmenot.com for anonymous registrations.]

Three months after Congress failed to pass a broad immigration overhaul, lawmakers are quietly returning to the hot-button issue, discussing narrower measures that address illegal immigrants and low-skilled laborers.

Deported criminals slip back into U.S.

Thousands of previously deported criminals are caught trying to slip back into the United States, and it's likely thousands more return unnoticed. Those caught are eventually kicked out again, making for a revolving door of lawbreakers.

Tarrant County to consider giving immigrants indigent care

Now the Tarrant County Hospital Board of Managers is considering whether to allow illegal immigrants to receive free or low-cost nonemergency medical care. The board is expected to debate the issue and possibly decide Tuesday.

And last but not least, $25 million dollars for La Raza.

Shocker: Mexican Senate Sides With Deported Activist "Mom"

I just can't believe it, can you? But if they love her so much, you'd think they'd want her back. It is safe to say Mexico sure needs their own Rosa Harriet Parks Tubman who's really lovin' the attention and celebrity back in her corrupt chaotic home country. So it's weird they're protesting the United States sending one of their own citizens back to them. How odd.

Mexican Senate sides with mom deported from USA

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexican Senate committee passed a measure Wednesday urging President Felipe Calderon to send a diplomatic note to the United States protesting the deportation of an illegal migrant who took refuge in a Chicago church for a year.

The committee also approved a scholarship to help her 8-year-old U.S.-born son, Saul, who is an American citizen and stayed in the United States.

This anchor baby scheme has got to stop. By the way, when is someone going to call what she did the child abuse it was in the first place? Involving a child in a life of crime and hiding out. Lovely.

Americans Fed Up-Majority Want Comprehensive Illegal Alien Crackdown

A new Rasmussen poll illustrates that Americans had have enough of the social, cultural and economic chaos brought by illegal aliens. Super majorities favor a cut of federal funding to "Sanctuary Cities" as well as ID cards and tracking for 'foreign visitors' in general, and we want that damn physical fence. Not a virtual one of cameras, and motion detectors. We want a real F-E-N-C-E. Which, btw, would not only make it more difficult for illegals to get into the country, it would also make slipping across the border back into Mexico, by fleeing mass murder suspects as an example, a tad more difficult as well.

71% Favor Requiring Foreign Visitors to Carry Universal ID Card

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters nationwide favor cutting off federal funds for “sanctuary cities” that offer protection to illegal immigrants. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 29% are opposed. Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney proposed such a plan earlier this week.

By a 71% to 16% margin, voters also favor a proposal that would require all foreign visitors to carry a universal identification card as proposed by another GOP Presidential hopeful, Rudy Giuliani. Seventy-four percent (74%) also favor the creation and funding of a central database to track all foreign visitors in the United States.

By a 56% to 31% margin, voters want the government to continue building a fence along the Mexican border.

I do have a feeling, however, that Bush will not be discussing this sentiment of the majority of Americans when he meets with Harper and Calderon in the next few days. That's fine, let them waste their time as they wallow in their own little world. Bush is more than welcomed to spend his last 18 months in office fighting us abut whatever he wants. And we will win just like we did last time when the fate of our nation hung in the balance.

More Arrests in Newark Massacre

And more illegal aliens are in custody.

More suspects arrested over fatal shooting in N.J. schoolyard

Authorities arrested two more suspects Saturday in the slayings of three college students who were shot execution-style in a schoolyard, bringing the total number of arrests in the case to five.

The two additional suspects were found in suburban Washington, authorities said. A spokeswoman for the mayor of Newark, where the killings occurred, said the pair were brothers.

Rodolfo Godinez, a 24-year-old Nicaraguan immigrant, was arrested in Oxon Hill, Md., just north of the I-495 Beltway near the Woodrow Wilson Bridge connecting Maryland to Virginia. An unidentified 16-year-old was arrested in the Woodbridge, Va., area. Both were awaiting extradition to New Jersey, Deputy U.S. Marshal Bill Sorukas said...

The search team, which included the FBI's Fugitive Task Force, staked out the address in Maryland where Godinez was staying after receiving a tip that he was there and was planning to make his way to Texas and then into Mexico, according to James Plousis, a U.S. Marshal who is responsible for New Jersey...Nearly 10 other people, Sorukas said, were arrested for immigration violations in the operation.

Another one of the little perks illegal aliens have--the ability to simply flee this nation after raping her and murdering her citizens, and go back "home," to a country in chaos where they can easily disappear. Bounty hunting is illegal in that Narco-Nation, and murderers of Americans are protected because of Mexico's opposition to the death penalty. And while these freaks have been caught, that's not the usual state of affairs. Most of the time this scum does indeed make it back "home" leaving their carnage behind.

UPDATE:

Just to give you a total here of where things stand: five suspects are under arrest, and one is still at-large. Let's hope that beast hasn't made it across the border yet.

The Sham Bush Admin "Illegal Immigration" Crackdown

As usual with President Bush lately, what he says is the case is quite the opposite. Skeletor (aka Homeland Security sec Chertoff) and Commerce Sec Carlos Gutierrez announced what is being touted as a "crackdown" on illegal immigration, but in fact is amnesty and an expansion of the so-called Guest Worker programs already in existence. You didn't know we have about 18 of them, did you?

I've been especially struck with the uniform reporting of this Amnesty/Guest Worker plan as a "crackdown" or "enforcement." If you simply read the thing, it becomes quite clear that it's neither. The EM, of course, also wants amnesty and open borders, so they're more than happy to help perpetuate the Bush lie that his admin is actually doing something about the continuing scourge. The insult here is not only is that not true, he's doing the opposite.

This is one of my favorite headlines. You have to get 12 paragraphs down to get the real story.

Government goes after identity fakers

Under the new employer regulations — which go into effect in one month — employers who receive so-called "no-match" letters that identify discrepancies in a worker's tax records will have 90 days to resolve the problem.

The reason could be a clerical error or a name change because of marriage, but such irregularities often suggest the employees may be using a phony Social Security number to qualify for work.

If legal status can't be confirmed within 90 days, the employee must be fired.

Gee, I wonder if we, after committing the federal crime of falsifying federal documents or another crime of using a stolen identity, would get a letter simply telling us we have 90 days to get our act together? And what is the option for those who have used false documents? Why, get hooked up with the existing Guest Worker program, of course. And rules are being 'streamlined' to help make that happen. Yes, this is called "amnesty" attached to a "Guest Worker" program.

Gutierrez also said that to lessen the impact on businesses, the administration would streamline and improve temporary visa programs that allow foreign workers to come to the United States for agricultural and other seasonal jobs.

Yeah. I'm sure. Bully for you.

Here's a summary of the highlights of the bill, none of which, by the way, has been funded. So essentially it's meaningless, but they will implement the easing of the rules for the existing GW programs I'm sure. And the other thing we have to keep an eye on, is for the Fed to come back and say, after having this sham around for a few months, that now they've implemented "enforcement" let's get that amnesty bill back on track!

Mark my words, that is their plan. Here, courtesy of the San Jose Mercury News, are the 'highlights' of their sham:

—Hold employers liable for employing workers who have been notified of problems with their Social Security information and have not resolved those problems in 90 days. [Amnesty]

—Reduce the number of documents employers can accept to verify a worker's eligibility. [Meaningless]

—Raise civil fines imposed on employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants by about 25 percent. [Meaningless. They always argue they don't know, and the Feds have to pursue this which they won't.]

—Prevent illegal immigrants who have agreed to leave the country from remaining in the country through legal maneuvers by making them subject to deportation if arrested and fining them $3,000. [Meaningless. And which illegal aliens 'agree' to leave? Those already convicted of crimes? And note the wobbly language, 'subject to' and 'if.' Doesn't mean either will ever happen.]

—Direct the Labor Department to make changes to the H2A agricultural seasonal worker program so it is easier for farmers to use, provides them workers on time and protects workers' rights. [Crackdown on illegal immigration? This is the expansion of an existing Guest Worker program]

—Correct processing delays in the H2B program for hiring seasonal workers for the landscaping, hospitality and other industries. [More expansion, to help all those identity thieves and SSN card forgers who need to be assimilated into the system after their amnesty]

—Extend from one year to three the duration of a visa for hiring professional workers from Canada and Mexico to attract more such workers to the U.S. [Guest worker expansion, open border facilitation.]

—Spend more money to speed up background checks on immigrants. [Not more comprehensive background checks, let's just cut the the stupid, irrelevant one-day thing we do now to an hour or two, opening the borders and working in those illegals who've been caught via the 'crackdown' on identity theft]

—Require the Social Security administration and Department of Homeland Security to devise a way to prevent undocumented workers from earning credit in the Social Security system for work they've done while in the country illegally. [Meaningless. 'Devise a way'? How long? When? What's their deadline? Absolutely meaningless pandering]

—Expand lists of organized gangs from other nations whose members are barred from automatic entry to the United States. [Expands lists. Great. That'll stop illegal aliens. And gang members. More lists. Terrific. And meaningless]

—Continue to work on creating a system that will record the exit of foreigners from the country for air, land and sea ports. [Yea, we found out we don't have one during the amnesty debate. Genius. But how about this--how about 'continuing to work on a system that will record THE ENTRY of foreigners INTO" this country??]

—By Jan. 31, 2008, begin phasing in requirements for U.S. citizens traveling to Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean to carry passports to re-enter the country at sea and land ports. [Great. This is the already existing passport requirement that we tried to implement this year and couldn't because the passport people got too overwhelmed.]

—Homeland Security Department will deliver "state of the border" reports regularly. [Ooh, well, that'll make all the difference. Not.]

Newark Massacre Update

A warrant issued for fourth beast, 24-year-old Rodolfo “Gomez” Godinez

The hunt continues as Newark finds out what happens to your town when you make it a 'Sanctuary City' for illegal aliens, establishing a haven for the criminal and the depraved.

They arrested a third suspect, a minor, yesterday, and today issued a warrant for a fourth suspect.

Arrest Warrant Issued For 4th Suspect In Newark Killings

In the midst of three funerals Saturday for the college students killed execution style in a Newark schoolyard last week, Newark Mayor Cory Booker hosted a brief press conference announcing an arrest warrant issued for a fourth suspect in the killings.

Rodolfo “Gomez” Godinez, approximately 24, is being sought in connection with the killings, Booker said.

A warrant was issued Friday night for Godinez' arrest on three counts of murder; four counts of robbery; one count of attempted murder; conspiracy to commit robbery; and weapons charges.

Newark Mass Murder Suspect Is An Illegal Alien

The three students slain in Newark, "allegedly" by Jose Carranza

The Beast itself, Pervian national Carranza

He was also out on bail after a 31-count indictment on child rape. Of a 5-year-old. Not that the illegal alien from Peru, after allegedly having raped his girlfriend's baby for a period of two years was a flight risk, or would be inclined to do something even more awful, like mass murder. Newark, btw, is one of our infamous 'sanctuary' cities.

Suspect Pleads Not Guilty in New Jersey Students' Execution-Style Deaths

A Peruvian national in the U.S. illegally and who was previously charged with raping a 5-year-old pleaded not guilty Friday in the execution-style slayings of three young college students a day after surrendering to Mayor Cory Booker.

Jose Carranza, 28, who also goes by the alias Jose La Chira, entered his plea before Essex County Superior Court Judge Michael Casale. A second suspect, a 15-year-old boy, has been held pending a detention hearing. Authorities were seeking to have him tried as an adult...

FOX News has learned Carranza, who has a fake Social Security number, had been arrested on charges of raping a 5-year-old and then threatening the child and parents. In that case he faced a 31-count indictment.

In another, he was arrested on assault charges stemming from a bar fight.

Immigration officials apparently were aware of Carranza's illegal status since his prior arrests, according to Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura.

Once we find out what judge allowed this freak bail on child rape charges, there's going to be some punishment due.

McCain Panics, Stands on His Head, Flip-Flops on Immigration

John McCain has suddenly changed his position on immigration! He also changed his name to "Tom Duncan Tancredo Hunter," danced the cha cha, dyed his hair purple, joined Cirque de Soleil, threatened to invade a sovereign nation (oh wait, that's Obama), endorsed setting up Murder Squads to assassinate, er, "capture or kill", people in other countries (oh wait, that's Obama, too), dressed like Marlene Dietrich, declared his love for Nancy Reagan, and then adopted all the children Angelina Jolie hasn't had time to get to.

All just a bit too little, too late. Won't he be surprised to find out we still won't vote for him and still think bad thoughts when we hear his name? Nice try though. For a pandering, patronizing self-obsessed loser who doesn't think much at all for the people of the United States. After all, if we secure the border, who will pick all that lettuce and dig the wells??

McCain changes course on immigration

WASHINGTON - Republican presidential hopeful John McCain on Thursday backed a scaled-down proposal that imposes strict rules to end illegal immigration but doesn't include a path to citizenship.

The move away from a comprehensive measure is an about-face for the Arizona senator, who had been a leading GOP champion of a bill that included a guest worker program and would have legalized many of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. It failed earlier this year.

"We can still show the American people that we are serious about securing our nation's border," McCain said in a statement, adding that the new bill would "provide an essential step toward achieving comprehensive reform in the future."

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

One last thought, with all that Manly Man talk from Barry Obama, I think it's pretty clear he's made the mistake of responding to a few of those "Add four more inches to your leadership skills" emails we all get. The problem, of course, is that you really don't get four more inches, you just get to look stupid.

The Town of Hazleton Needs Your Help

A federal judge has overturned their two city ordinances geared at saving the town from being swamped by illegal aliens. One ordinance fined landlords for renting to illegals, and the second removed the business license of a business which employed illegal aliens.

The judge who overturned these ordinances cited the fact that immigration is a federal issue, but Hazleton wasn't setting immigration policy they were enacting local commerce policy. To say nothing of the fact that the ACLU, which sued Hazleton, was allowed by the judge to keep the plaintiffs anonymous, and they didn't even have to appear in court. In other words, Hazleton was never able to face their accuser. Yet Mayor Lou Barletta says the fight is not over.

A federal judge struck down Hazleton's illegal-immigration ordinance Thursday, calling it unconstitutional in a groundbreaking decision that will reverberate throughout the nation and affect more than 100 other communities considering similar laws...Mayor Lou Barletta, who gained national attention for his passionate support of the Illega
