Preventing The Crime
Latinos Comprise Nearly Half of All People Sentenced for Federal Felonies
The 70 undocumented immigrants, mostly men and mostly in their 20s and 30s, fill the 16-seat jury box and seven rows of wooden benches normally reserved for the public in Tucson’s gleaming federal courthouse. The courtroom is expansive, with a regally high ceiling, and is filled with the pungent smell of dried sweat.
In only an hour or so, the dozens of immigrants will agree to plead guilty and be sentenced in a process that could play out for months for most federal defendants.
The scene offers a window into a federal immigration enforcement effort that is pushing the limits of the U.S. justice system, overwhelming federal judges and escalating the ranks of Latinos sent to prison.
I don’t know….just a thought here, but perhaps, just maybe, if we would actually stop them from crossing the border, ILLEGALLY, then, y’know….maybe….they wouldn’t be wasting OUR tax dollars? Just thinking out loud.
There’s an old saying, from a rather wise dude, Benjamin Franklin, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Well, excuse me, but wouldn’t it make a whole lot more sense if we actually PREVENTED THEM from sneaking across the borders, with their drugs and ‘migrants’, than to have to house them in OUR jails and prisons, at OUR expense?
We’re Not Laughing Mr TOTUS
Illegal Immigration Is No Laughing Matter
The Foundry
The White House correspondents’ dinner might have been two weeks ago, but President Barack Obama continued his comedy routine yesterday in El Paso, Texas, only this time Donald Trump wasn’t the butt of the jokes. Instead, during a speech on immigration, the president mocked Republicans at large, the rule of law, and any American who takes the defense of our nation seriously.
Respectfully, Mr. President, illegal immigration and border security are no laughing matter.
What Part of ILLEGAL……………..!!!
Vermont’s Single-Payer Health Care Bill Ignites Debate Over Covering Illegal Immigrants
At least one roadblock stands in the way of Vermont’s path toward becoming the first state to adopt a single-payer health care system: coverage for illegal immigrants.
First question, why would anyone want socialized medicine? Has no one learned diddly from Cuba, Great Britain, etc? Second question: Who the hell cares what ILLEGALS want, or don’t want?
The state Senate, which passed its version of the bill this week, added a last-minute provision that would bar illegal immigrants from being covered under a state-run insurance program the bill envisions setting up called Green Mountain Care.
The move outraged immigrant advocates.
An immigrant is someone who comes in the front door, follows the rules, and adapts to their new environment, instead of trying to change it to exactly the same they came from. An ILLEGAL has no right to expect ANYTHING from the country they’ve broken into….ILLEGALLY!
“When we say health care is a human right, we mean for everybody who lives and works in Vermont regardless of legal status,” the Vermont Workers’ Center said in a statement.”We will not tolerate racial profiling and accept the unjust immigration and foreign policies of the federal government. We can do better than that.”
Hey, you commie bastards, how ’bout you remember what laws are for! To PROTECT legal citizens from criminal invaders. NO where does it state, anywhere, that health care is a ‘human right’. NO WHERE! And what the hell does race have to do dick??? Criminals comes in all colors! I’m getting extremely disgusted with these so called advocates aiding and abetting CRIMINALS!
Aiding and Abetting Criminals
Arizona Sheriff Cites Flood of Border Agents Confirming Feds’ No-Apprehension Policy
An Arizona sheriff says he has been flooded with calls and emails of support from local and federal agents who back his claims that the U.S. Border Patrol has effectively ordered them to stop apprehending illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexican border.
“Upper management has advised supervisors to have agents ‘turn back South’ (TBS) the illegal aliens (aka bodies) they detect attempting to unlawfully enter the country … at times you even hear supervisors order the agents over the radio to ‘TBS’ the aliens instead of catching them,” one San Diego border agent wrote in an email to Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever.
And from whom does ‘upper management’ get their marching orders?
“This only causes more problems as the aliens, as you know, don’t just go back to Mexico and give up. They keep trying, sometimes without 10 minutes in-between attempts, to cross illegally,” continued the email, which was among a number of communications to Dever reviewed by FoxNews.com. “This makes the job for agents more dangerous. Not only are the aliens more defiant, they also begin to feel like they can get away with breaking our federal laws.”
Does anyone wonder why we’re still being overrun by criminals? (A large number being elected to office, or appointed to positions of power.) They laugh at those of us who WANT to have our laws enforced, and vote Democrat! Illegally, of course.
FoxNews.com first reported this month that Dever said several Border Patrol officials, including at least one senior supervisor, told him they had been directed to keep the number of border apprehensions down by chasing illegal immigrants back toward Mexico. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has recently cited a reduction in border apprehensions as evidence of an increasingly secure border.
Lady, and I use the term loosely, you can LIE about your record, but it’s still a LIE! And contrary to what you yahoos up there in Swamp Land seem to believe, we’uns ain’t so stoopid after all! In the REAL world, a person who fails to do their job, then lies about doing it, gets fired! And you, Mzzzzzzzzz Napolitano, NEED to be FIRED! You have failed miserably. The patient is dying due, in part, to your incompetence, and that of your “boss”. But don’t forget, in reality, WE are your boss, and WE aren’t none too thrilled with your job performance!
Sadly, this incompetence has been going on a very long time, even before the Obama administration took over. The flood gates opened in the 80s, when, mistakenly, Ronald Reagan granted amnesty to about 3million illegals. Why, pray tell, has this been allowed to continue? Does NO ONE have the cajones to stand up and stop the invasion?
SECURE The Bloomin’ Borders!
Iranian Book Celebrating Suicide Bombers Found in Arizona Desert
A book celebrating suicide bombers has been found in the Arizona desert just north of the U.S.- Mexican border, authorities tell Fox News.
The book, “In Memory of Our Martyrs,” was spotted Tuesday by a U.S. Border Patrol agent out of the Casa Grande substation who was patrolling a route known for smuggling illegal immigrants and drugs.
Published in Iran, it consists of short biographies of Islamic suicide bombers and other Islamic militants who died carrying out attacks.
According to internal U.S. Customs and Border Protection documents, “The book also includes letters from suicide attackers to their families, as well as some of their last wills and testaments.” Each biographical page contains “the terrorist’s name, date of death, and how they died.”
Um…. let’s see….
Napolitano: U.S.- Mexico Border ‘As Secure Now As It Has Ever Been’ (28 April 2010) “I say this again as someone who has walked that border,” she said. “I’ve ridden that border. I’ve flown it. I’ve driven it. I know that border I think as well as anyone, and I will tell you it is as secure now as it has ever been.”
Napolitano: Border could be ‘more safe’ (5 May 2010) Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Tuesday the U.S.-Mexico border is not as secure as it could be, though she contended that the Obama administration has shown an “absolute laserlike focus on that border.”
Napolitano: Border is secure (14 September 2010) Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has evidently checked off one thing on her to-do list. At a conference of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute on Monday, Napolitano announced that the border is now secure, clearing the way for Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
Didn’t even break a sweat finding 3 examples of the ignorance of our illustrious Secretary of Homeland Security. Security? Seriously, a misnomer! Especially in HER case!
Authorities told Fox News that there were no people in the area at the time the book was found, and no arrests have been made in connection with it.
Seriously? Do they really think the bad guys will be sticking around the area?
Statements from U.S. officials, including FBI director Robert Mueller, have raised serious concerns in recent years over “OTMs” — or illegal immigrants other than Mexicans — who have crossed the southwest border at alarming rates.
Just how difficult is it to understand the longer we leave the borders unguarded to any serious degree, the more danger WE are in, as a people, as a country? There is a serious lack of comprehension skills going on in our officials. Or is that the intent? Leave us wide open for internal attacks? These animals are evil, and MUST be destroyed….before they destroy us!
“Undocumented” Criminals!
Former deportee convicted of smuggling immigrants
A Mexican national has been convicted of smuggling undocumented workers from Nashville to Florida.
Carlos Alexis Rodriguez-Hernandez, 25, was found guilty Monday in Orlando, Fla., of transporting illegal aliens and illegal re-entry after deportation, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
So, we’re going to have to support this piece of human excrement for up to 20 years?
Rodriguez-Hernandez’s car was stopped in October near Orlando by immigration officials.
He told them he was paid $300 to take three men from Nashville to Dania Beach, Fla., to find work.
The men told investigators that they paid $2,000 to be taken there.
Gosh! You mean a criminal LIED? Call me SHOCKED! /snark
Authorities said Rodriguez-Hernandez also had been deported twice before: once in August 2008 and again in April 2009.
Perhaps it’s time to take drastic measures. Obviously, our laws mean NOTHING to these types, and they don’t seem to mean much to our elected officials either. So, perhaps, if we plant land mines, have gun turrets, and a few gators, rattle snakes and the like on the borders, maybe, just maybe, someone would get the message? Knock, and if you aren’t a criminal thug type, you will be welcomed. Bust in the back door, you will be shot!
Now, for a REAL drastic measure…. Deport once, and only once. No second chances. Sneak in again…. Well, I would suggest you wouldn’t like the results. If we don’t do something to protect our borders, and NOW, we won’t have a country to protect. It’s not just those ‘undocumented immigrants’ that are sneaking in. There are serious criminal elements at work, bringing in jihadists from around the world. I don’t think they’re here to pick fruit!
Illegals and Other Garbage
New Website to Draw Attention to Trash at Arizona-Mexico Border
A new website to draw attention to tons of trash discarded along the Arizona-Mexico border has been launched by state officials hoping to stem the flow of refuse left behind by illegal immigrants making their way into the United States.
The website, azbordertrash.gov, is also seeking volunteers to participate in cleanup efforts along Arizona’s 370-mile border with Mexico.
I have a better idea. Instead of asking legal residents to clean up after the garbage criminal aliens, how ’bout nabbing the SOBs and making THEM clean up their mess? Why are LEGAL taxpayers always having to foot the bill for these pigs?
The same types that whine about the poor pitiful ‘undocumented immigrants’ are the same yahoos who that want to destroy the economy with their “green” nonsense. They are not ‘undocumented’, they are illegal. They are not ‘immigrants’, they are criminals.
Speaking of criminals….aren’t we housing a great many said illegals in the jails and prisons? How about they earn their keep, and clean up the trash?
Secure The Damn Borders!
Napolitano Scolds Reporter for Airing Complaints of Dead Border Agent’s Family
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, leaving the funeral of a murdered Border Patrol agent Wednesday, scolded a reporter for asking her to address the victim’s family’s concerns that not enough is being done to secure the southern border.
The family of agent Brian Terry had complained that Napolitano had offered them “empty words” when she called to express her condolences. Terry’s father, Kent Terry, in an interview with ABC affiliate KGUN, said he told Napolitano to “wake your man up in the White House,” to which she replied that he’s done more in two years than any president.
Really? I don’t know, but it appears to me he’s done about the same as Bush to secure our borders, and stop the flow of illegals into our country. In other words….not a damn thing!
After being told the concerns came from his father, mother and stepmother, she continued: “Listen, we are here today, the commissioner is here today, the chief of the Border Patrol is here today and we are here and his comrades are here with the family, who said other things to me by the way, so I really don’t think it appropriate for the media to try to pick this as a fight,” she said. “This is a moment to remember a fallen agent.”
While this may be true, there are way too many unanswered questions, and I can only applaud the reporter for actually doing the job he/she was hired to do….and that is get answers! However, with this administration, answers to darn near anything, are either so twisted around, no one has a clue what the blazes they are talking about, or totally blown off. Since Nappy is part of the administration, head of the so called Homeland Security (which isn’t), it’s quite appropriate to attempt to get answers, no matter what! But good luck with that!
Under this administration, the borders have become even more porous, the liberties of legal citizens have been diminished, and the rights of criminals and terrorists have been increased. Does anyone else see this as a tad bassackwards? How many more will be murdered because the lackadaisical approach to REAL security? All we get from these people are empty words….promises that are not kept…..lies…..and an agenda that is destroying our nation.
I don’t know about you, but I, for one, am totally, and completely fed up! This is not the country I was born and raised in, and it’s not a ‘change’ for the better!
Instead of a sign like this, facing north……
……. there should be a sign facing south, stating “Any and ALL criminals (illegal invaders) seen sneaking across the border will be shot, on sight, with extreme prejudice!” signed by the legals citizens of the United States of America.
Nashville Mayor Is Pro-Criminal?
Dean: TN immigration legislation would hurt Nashville economy
Mayor Karl Dean asked Tennessee lawmakers Monday not to approve immigration-related legislation that could hurt the city’s economic development efforts.
“I’m asking them, as the mayor of Nashville, not to do anything that will put our city and our state at a competitive disadvantage,” Dean said in a speech to the Rotary Club of Nashville. “Being a diverse city, a city that is perceived as a friendly, welcoming place, is key to business recruitment. Our hospitality industry and the success of our colleges and universities depend upon it.
I beg your pardon? There are no LEGAL residents of Nashville who will be more than happy to have a job in the hospitality industry?
“We need to be serious right now about jobs and prosperity and education, and we can’t do that if we tie our hands by creating a global reputation as an unwelcoming, unfriendly state. … It’s about doing what’s right and what’s in the best interest of our city’s economy.”
I don’t know ANYONE who doesn’t welcome LEGAL immigrants….well, unless said legal immigrants expect us to adapt to THEIR culture, instead of the other way around. However, we SHOULD be considered very unfriendly, and unwelcoming to those who choose not to follow the law!
Yes, we DO need to be serious about jobs. I wonder how many kids would LOVE an after school job but can’t get one because someone has decided that an illegal needs it so much more? Just askin’. And, about that education? Well, I have NO issue providing an education for children of LEGAL residents, and I don’t know anyone who does. However, why should we be required to pay for the education of someone who broke in the back door? No, the kids aren’t to blame, but the parents sure are, and should NOT be rewarded by giving their children an education at OUR expense.
If I had my druthers, I’d have this clown arrested for aiding and abetting criminals! But hey…that’s just me.
Not Just NO….
but HELL NO!

Rats? Not Rats…..
Bredesen slams Rep. Curry Todd’s immigrant “rats” remark
Gov. Phil Bredesen on Friday said it was a “very poor choice of words” for a Republican state lawmaker to liken pregnant illegal immigrants to rats multiplying.
Yeah…rats isn’t exactly the right critter. Perhaps he should have said cockroaches?
“That’s certainly a very poor choice of words, and I would never refer to any human being in that way,” Bredesen said.
While Bredesen might not (he’s actually an almost tolerable Dem), members of his party have said MUCH worse about their opponents. When said human beings consistently engage in criminal activity daily, like breaking into our home – the U.S., staying without permission, concern for their sensitive feelings goes out the window.
Rep. Curry Todd of Collierville made the comments at a legislative committee meeting earlier this week after being told that federal law requires the state to extend prenatal care to women regardless of their citizenship status because all children born in the U.S. are citizens.
Do said criminal invaders foot their own hospital bills? Doubtful. So, why should we have to? The 14th Amendment (ratified 1868) does NOT state that criminal invaders children should become American citizens automatically, and has, possibly, become one of the MOST misused amendments in our Constitution.
The 14th was designed to ensure that all former slaves were granted automatic United States citizenship, and that they would have all the rights and privileges as any other citizen.
It says NOTHING about granting citizenship to babies of criminals. (And no, it doesn’t say that it’s ok to murder babies either.)
Todd said he still wants to find ways for the state to deny care to illegal immigrants.
“I don’t want to see any child not have care, but I feel they are abusing our system here because they know they can get these kids services, and the taxpayers in Tennessee are the ones having to pay for this,” he told WHBQ.
Why are the taxpayers FORCED to foot the bill for people who don’t give a damn about this country, or her LEGAL citizens? How many children of LEGAL citizens are forced to do without because there just isn’t enough money in the coffers because of so much being spent on the criminals? There’s an old saying…Charity begins at home. We take care of ours….FIRST AND FOREMOST! If there is any left over, we can share. There is never any left over. If a private, charitable organization, funded by private donations, wants to pay the bills, then they are more than welcome to do so. It does not fall to the federal or state government to provide charity! Charity does NOT come from government, it comes from the heart of the individual!
Bredesen said he supports the current rules.
“Why would you ever put any tiny or unborn child into this debate about illegal immigration?” he said. “Let’s not make children pawns in this issue. It’s a grown-up issue.”
Because, Governor, the so called grown ups have thrust these babies into the fray, and use them as pawns! If you support the criminal activities of their parents, then you are just as guilty. If your concern about the babies is genuine, then YOU donate YOUR money to support them.
Immigrant rights group Conexion Americas on Friday called on Todd to respect the “worth and dignity of all people, including immigrants and our children.”
“We are tired of being dehumanized in our own communities,” the group said in an e-mail. “We are tired of politicians who classify our children as less than human.”
There is a HUGE difference between immigrants, those who come through the front door, go through the proper, LEGAL channels, and those who sneak across the border….CRIMINALS! Todd did not say a word about LEGAL immigrants, did he? No. And if these so called immigrant groups support criminal activity, then they, too, are CRIMINALS! You aren’t a legal immigrant, it’s not YOUR community!
Came here legally, as did my grandparents?
WELCOME!
Leaving Arizona
Study: 100,000 Hispanics Left Arizona After SB1070
A new study suggests there may be 100,000 fewer Hispanics in Arizona than there were before the debate over the state’s tough new immigration law earlier this year.
Do they mean Hispanics who came through the front door, or the ones that snuck in from the back? Since this study comes from Mexico City, it’s really hard to tell. Facts would be nice.
The study released Wednesday also cites Mexican government figures as saying that 23,380 Mexicans returned from Arizona to Mexico between June and September.
Well, at least that’s 23K+ that didn’t move into the rest of the states.
U.S. census figures from 2008 say about 30 percent of people living in Arizona are Hispanic, or about 1.9 million.
Either they are Hispanics, or they are Americans. If they are Hispanics, then this is not their home. If they are Americans, then hey, glad you’re here! Many families were living in the area before Arizona was won in the Mexican-American War. Those same families were there when Arizona became a state. They are Americans!
Immigrants are heavily employed in Arizona’s construction industry, which has suffered — along with the rest of the state’s economy — in the economic downturn.
Once again, are they actually immigrants, who went through the legal process? Or, were they illegal invaders, criminally employed by companies that need to pay the penalty for breaking the law?
The study also predicts that remittances — the money sent home by migrants working abroad — won’t recover their peak value of about $26 billion until 2012 or 2013.
Money that should have been earned by LEGAL American citizens, and kept right here in the U.S. of A.
Remittances are Mexico’s second-largest source of foreign income after oil exports. Nearly all of the money comes from the U.S., where nearly 12 million Mexicans live.
Here’s a novel concept: Why doesn’t Mexico come up with ways to actually PRODUCE something, that will provide jobs for their citizens. I’m fairly sure there are a few entrepreneurs in the country who would be more than happy to create businesses that would provide income for willing workers. I mean, other than corrupt politicians, drug cartels, and violent criminals!
The research center also estimated that remittances were dwarfed by the amount of money Mexican migrants paid in taxes in the United States — about $53 billion in 2008
If they buy food, clothing, etc., of course they pay taxes. However, if they are in the country illegally, how many actually filed federal income tax? The study fails to report how much ILLEGALS actually COST the taxpayer in medical care, public education, prison housing, etc. If illegals are costing the state of Arizona roughly $2.7 BILLION a year, multiply that by 50 states, and you’ve got a number that far exceeds any taxes paid in.
Reid’s “DREAM” VS WE, The People
A Leftist Wish List vs. National Security
The Foundry
One of the foremost responsibilities of the federal government is to ensure the security of our nation. It is right there in the Preamble to the United States Constitution: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” This week the U.S. Senate is scheduled to take up the FY 2011 National Defense Authorization Act. This legislation is necessary to fund the defense of the United States and its interests abroad. The House already passed their bill in May. But Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) would rather talk about amnesty.
Why is Reid doing this? One only need look at the RealClearPolitics aggregate polling data: he is in a dead-heat reelection battle with State Rep. Sharon Angle (R). That is why Reid bypassed usual Senate procedure and included “the DREAM Act” in the defense bill. The DREAM Act creates a “path to citizenship” for illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. before the age of 16, have lived here for 5 years, and either serve in the military or attend college. But the bill also prohibits the government from deporting anyone who has even filed an application for the program. This essentially gives amnesty to anyone who applies regardless of whether they actually qualify for the act’s protections. Worse, the program would also allow applicants to sponsor their immediate family members for a green card. While current law prohibits sponsorship of illegal immigrants living in the United States, this leaves open the possibility that they could fraudulently, through falsified documents or other means, sponsor their parents who are in the U.S. illegally – creating an even larger amnesty.
WHAT THE……….!!!
You have GOT to read this:
Illegal Immigrant Manages to Vote In Election
I can’t even think of appropriate words! Is it any wonder at all that the criminals (aka ILLEGALS) residing in our country have NO respect for our laws? Our officials don’t even respect them, why should anyone else? For that matter, why should I? Or you? Since no one wants to enforce the law, why not just let anarchy reign? Why bother to follow the rules? No one cares!
This is a LARGE LOAD OF MALE BOVINE EXCREMENT!
Serious Security
The best I can find out, a landmine costs anywhere from $3 to $30 a piece. With the latest $600MIL being sucked from the taxpayers for border security, I’m wondering how many landmines that would buy to secure our border? Sure would go a LONG way to deter the sneak thieves from breaking into our home, bringing crime and disease, wouldn’t it?
Just a thought.
