Fox News reports that Constantino Banda-Acosta has been deported from the US 15 times before he ran a stop sign in San Diego and injured 6-year-old Lennox Lake who was coming home from Disneyland with his family.

Banda-Acosta was being held on $100,000 bail and had an arraignment set for Wednesday. He was arrested in 2006 on a DUI charge, had his license suspended three other times and also was accused of a domestic violence incident by his estranged wife….

San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer says his city isn’t a sanctuary city;

Faulconer said the designation doesn’t fit because after an arrest a background check is done and information on immigration status is provided to the Feds. Plus, ICE is informed of release dates.

Cities like San Francisco, which is a “sanctuary city,” doesn’t share that information.

“We have a system that works in San Diego,” Faulconer told 10News reporter Michael Chen. “We’re one of the safest big cities in America, and the reason is we have that police department collaboration with our neighborhoods, with our communities. We work very closely with our federal partners.”

Elements of the San Diego community, however, aren’t so law-abiding;

“The federal government is attempting to force local governments, including local education institutions, to become an arm in their attempt to round up, detain and deport people in our communities and we have made it very clear to the federal government that we refuse to participate in that type of action,” said Richard Barrera, president of the San Diego Unified School District’s Board of Education. “In our schools, every day, we hear about young people, children, our students who are afraid that when they get home, their parents are not going to be there. We have parents, who fear that when they send their kids to school, they might not see their kids at the end of the day.”

I wonder how those parents feel about their kids wandering the streets where DUI criminals are driving without licenses on those same streets.

Thanks to Mick for the tip.

The American Civil Liberties Union has issued a “travel advisory” for folks who traveling through Texas because of Texas’ new law SB4;

The law gives a green light to police officers in the state to investigate a person’s immigration status during a routine traffic stop, leading to widespread racial profiling, baseless scrutiny, and illegal arrests of citizens and non-citizens alike presumed to be “foreign” based on how they look or sound. The travel alert applies to all travelers to Texas, including U.S. travelers from other states and U.S. citizens. In addition, this alert applies to all encounters with federal, state, county law enforcement including local police and sheriffs.

“The ACLU’s goal is to protect all Texans and all people traveling through Texas — regardless of their immigration status — from illegal harassment by law enforcement,” said Lorella Praeli, ACLU director of immigration policy and campaigns.

So, it looks like the only people will be targets of this so-called harassment will be illegal aliens. Isn’t the ACLU playing into the hands of the evil Texan governor?

The text of the law specifically prohibits discrimination;

Sec. 752.054. DISCRIMINATION PROHIBITED. A local entity,
campus police department, or a person employed by or otherwise
under the direction or control of the entity or department may not
consider race, color, religion, language, or national origin while
enforcing immigration laws except to the extent permitted by the
United States Constitution or Texas Constitution.

Yeah, that’s not what the ACLU opposes – what they don’t like is Section 752.053 – the part that prohibits sanctuary cities and counties. SB4 doesn’t mandate that officers search willy-nilly for illegal aliens, violating everyone’s constitutional rights – it just prohibits subordinate government entities from ignoring the immigration laws in this country.

But, yeah the message of the Texas government and the ACLU seems to be the same one – illegal immigrants should stay out of Texas.

I don’t know why, but the ACLU is sending these propaganda messages to our inbox.

Well pardon me dear readers, but Ol’ Poe’s skeptimeter is pegging out right now at the announcement by the Feds yesterday that an arrest has been made in the shooting of Border Patrol agent, Brian Terry, who was murdered Dec. 14, 2010, with what was later determined to be one of Barack Obama’s notorious Fast and Furious weapons. Mind you, I’m not at all unhappy with the fact that the rat bastard cartel member who gunned down Terry is in custody, it’s the timing of the event that has my skeptimeter red-lining.
Think about it for a moment; Obama and his justice department had six years to track down and capture a Mexican cartel member for the murder of an American law enforcement officer on American soil but, somehow, with all the law enforcement resources of this country at Obama’s beck and call, they just couldn’t make that happen. Yet with less than a mere three months of a new administration, we suddenly know exactly where to look for this perp badly wanted by American LEO’s everywhere?

Ponder that for a moment and then tell me that you believe that Barack Obama, his justice department, and his Democrat party truly wanted this killer in custody. Let me help you out a bit: Fast and Furious was one of the greatest embarrassments of Obama’s reign because it exposed the willingness of the Democrat party to see innocent people murdered as long as it furthered their aspirations to negate the provisions of the 2d Amendment for the citizens of this country. Once it had been halted and exposed for what it actually was, Democrats wanted it forgotten as quickly as possible and RINO Republicans in Congress, which is to say most of them, couldn’t accommodate them quickly enough, despite the efforts of a brave few in the House.

The last thing in the world that the Obama regime wanted was the arrest of the cartel killer who executed our Border Patrol agent and all the publicity that would go with it in a trial during a period leading up to a presidential election. Who knew whether or not criminal trial testimony might reawaken the Fast and Furious scandal and possibly even reveal details of that criminally misguided political operation that would prove troublesome for the Democrat candidate in 2016?

As I said, I’m glad that Mexican rat bastard cartel member is finally going to face justice for killing an American Border Patrol agent. I just wish the sorry rat bastard from the Chicago Cartel, who handed him the weapon and then let him run free for six years, was going to do the same. He’s every bit as culpable as that hijo de puta sicario who pulled that trigger.
