  • DREAM Act is policy without law

    Janet Napolitano admitted to Congress that deporting students that would be protected by the DREAM is too resource-intensive for her agencies to enforce (Fox News link);

    Questioned about DHS enforcement Tuesday at a Senate hearing on the DREAM Act, Napolitano confirmed that the department is not interested in deporting “DREAM Act students.”

    “We have provided information about what it would take to do removal of everyone in the country. It’s obvious that those resources aren’t available, and when you’re talking about DREAM Act students, it really doesn’t make sense,” Napolitano said.

    So it doesn’t make sense to enforce the law as it currently exists. Good attitude for a law enforcement officer.

    Than as if she’s having an argument with herself, Napolitano continues;

    At the same time, Napolitano denied that the recent ICE memo was being used to get around the failure of Congress to pass the DREAM Act. She said the administration’s enforcement of illegal immigration is “unparalleled,” but that federal officials are trying to make that enforcement as effective as possible.

    Unparalleled in the sense that they’re not bothering to enforce the laws?

    “We simply don’t see appropriations necessary in order to remove everyone who is technically removable from the United States, so we have to set priorities,” Napolitano said.

    So, if millions of people started robbing banks, the FBI wouldn’t bother to investigate because of appropriations? If everyone started driving 70 mph through the streets of Washington, the MPD wouldn’t write them tickets? If every street corner had a drug dealer on it, no one would do anything about it?

  • Illegals arrested in GA protest

    Claymore sends us a link to an Atlanta Journal Constitution article which describes the scene outside the Georgia capitol yesterday when a group of illegal aliens blocked traffic to stage a protest against an illegal immigration bill;

    Georgia State Patrol spokesman Gordy Wright said the protesters were asked to move from the intersection several times before they were arrested.

    Police let the protesters surrounding the six disperse peacefully, but arrested the smaller group of dissidents.

    Dulce Guerrero of Atlanta, who spoke to WSB Radio’s Pete Combs before she was detained by police, said she was ready to take a stand against the bill.

    “I know they’re going to arrest me and I’m here today for them to arrest me,” she said. “I could risk deportation. I could be sent back to a country I don’t know, but I’m here and I’m willing to risk it all. I’m here to show the governor and my community that I’m not going to stay quiet.”

    So when you get deported, Dulce, you won’t be surprised, right? See when a criminal commits yet another crime, we send them back where they came from. And, oh, by the way, we also don’t normally give criminals and non-citizens a voice in our government so they can de-criminalize their presence in our country among the rest of us law-abiding citizens.

    Adios, pendeja.

  • Drop the I-word

    ROS sends us this video she found;

    If you don’t like being called an illegal alien, don’t be one.

  • Why aren’t you speaking English?

    In Texas, the State Senate held a hearing into their latest illegal immigration bill. Antolin Aguirre began his testimony in Spanish to the panel through an interpreter. Senator Chris Harris asked him why he was speaking in Spanish despite the fact that he’d lived in this country since 1988;

    Two minutes into Antolin Aguirre’s testimony, Sen. Chris Harris, a Republican from Arlington, interrupted asking Aguirre’s interrupter, “Did I understand him correctly that he has been here since 1988?” Harris asked. “Why aren’t you speaking in English then?”

    My grandfather was born into a Swedish immgrant household where only Swedish was spoken, yet he learned English after he went to school and conducted all of his business in English from then on. My kids were brought up on Spanish while we lived in Panama, learned German when we lived in Germany and learned French when moved to Vermont on the border with Quebec.

    The Spanish TV networks have a vested interest in keeping the Latin population illiterate in regards to the language they speak and they push the ‘right to maintain their culture” bullshit, which not only harms the individuals, but the American tax payers, too – to make the Spanish networks rich. English is the language of commerce in this country and if you can’t speak English, you can’t conduct your business.

  • Mexican police find 513 potential illegals in two trucks

    Tuesday, Mexican police accidentally doing their job found over 500 people who intended to be illegal immigrants into the US packed sardine-like into two tractor trailer trucks. Not all of them were from Central America six were Sri Lankan and four were from Nepal. From Fox News;

    None of the migrants would say whether any drug gang had been involved in the mass smuggling scheme broken up early Tuesday when Chiapas state police discovered the migrants while using X-ray equipment on the trucks at a checkpoint in the outskirts of city of Tuxtla Gutierrez.

    When I lived in Oswego, NY, there were a large number of immigrant farm workers who labored on the local produce farms. One night a van carrying a load of them home struck a tree. Emergency crews carted thirty people to the hospital from that one vehicle accident – so I’m guessing that packing people in vehicles is a cultural thing. So who are we to judge?

  • Mexico wants to sue US gunmakers

    ROS sends a link to a CBS News report in which Mexico admits it’s planning a civil RICO lawsuit against US gun manufacturers because it’s”frustrated” about US government’s inability to stem the flow of weapons south.

    Christopher Renzulli of New York, who has represented U.S. gun makers for fifteen years, says he believes this would be a difficult case for the Mexican government to win. “The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act would bar that kind of lawsuit from the start. The law, passed in 2005 has resulted in several lawsuits against gun makers being dismissed.

    But sources familiar with the case say the law firm retained by Mexico – New York based Reid Collins & Tsai – believes the federal law won’t stand in the way of their case.

    If the courts allow this case to go forward, the US taxpayers ought to band together and counter-sue Mexico for their inability to stem the flow of Mexicans, Salvadorans, Guatemalans and any other types of foreigners into our country illegally. They should be sued so we can recover the costs of trying to secure our border as well as the costs of caring for those criminals while they’re here.

    If US gun makers are responsible for the deaths in Mexico, Mexico is equally responsible for their citizens and the costs they inflict on the US taxpayers. Not to mention the crimes they commit after they illegally cross the border.

  • Administration’s broken immigration policy

    The Washington Times reports that activists are urging Democrats to stop deporting illegal immigrants in a climate where deportations have dramatically increased;

    In fiscal 2010, which ended Oct. 1, the federal government removed a record 392,862 aliens, resulting from a surge of nearly 60,000 more deportations of criminal aliens compared with 2009. Deportations of noncriminal immigrants here illegally, meanwhile, fell by more than 50,000.

    However, Fox News is reporting that an Arizona sheriff is telling everyone who’ll listen that Federal and State immigration enforcement agencies are being told to reduce the number of arrests of illegal aliens;

    Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever told FoxNews.com that a supervisor with the U.S. Border Patrol told him as recently as this month that the federal agency’s office on Arizona’s southern border was under orders to keep apprehension numbers down during specific reporting time periods.

    “The senior supervisor agent is telling me about how their mission is now to scare people back,” Dever said in an interview with FoxNews.com. “He said, ‘I had to go back to my guys and tell them not to catch anybody, that their job is to chase people away. … They were not to catch anyone, arrest anyone.

    So our bi-polar immigration policy continues unabated. The revolving door is spinning off it’s hinges. And the President votes “present” on immigration.

  • Stolen Valor illegal immigrants

    Old Trooper, Cortillean and ROS all sent us a lnk to an article in Fox News about 13 illegal aliens who were smuggled across our southern border dressed as Marines, all named Perez;

    After the suspicious white van was subjected to secondary inspection, it was determined that the driver of the vehicle and its front seat passenger were U.S. citizens who were attempting to smuggle 13 illegal immigrants into the United States. All of the vehicle’s occupants wore U.S. Marine uniforms, reportedly emblazoned with the name “Perez.”

    “This effort is an example of the lengths smugglers will go to avoid detection, and the skilled and effective police work and vigilance displayed everyday by Customs and Border Protection personnel,” the agency said in a written statement.

    Given another few days of freedom, they might have been enrolled in the VA as POWs and working as CNN expert commentators. Lawyers and 9th Circuit Court judges were lining up outside their cells to defend the illegals’ freedom of speech.
