Sonoma County Sheriff Bill Cogbill said Friday he wants to clear the air over a key local issue expected to turn out thousands of Latino immigrants and their supporters to a march and rally in downtown Santa Rosa on Sunday.
(YOU THOUGHT THERE WAS A PLACE IN MEXIFORNIA NOT UNDER MEX OCCUPATION?)
Thousands march in Santa Rosa for immigration reform
The issue is a new system in which fingerprints taken from people booked in the county ail are sent electronically to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, databases.
Cogbill said Friday the new program is not a local policy, nor is there any official agreement between the county and ICE, an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
“We didn’t have a choice in it,” Cogbill said. “They came to us just to let us know this is happening.”
He said that even before the “biometric” fingerprinting program was launched in Sonoma County this month, fingerprints were routinely sent to the state Department of Justice, which would then have them checked for criminal history against databases maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
But under a new initiative being rolled out gradually across the country, the FBI now is sending fingerprints to ICE.
Cogbill said he personally approves of the program because it helps more effectively identify illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds. But he stressed, “we’re not doing anything different from our end” and there’s no agreement between the Sheriff’s Office and ICE.
ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said the program, known as Secure Communities, is the latest tool being used to target illegal immigrants with dangerous criminal backgrounds, many of whom would otherwise “slip through the cracks.”
Top priority, she said, is illegal immigrants who commit crimes such as murder, rape, robbery, kidnap and drug offenses.
“Our desired outcome is to see that person removed from the United States,” Kice said.

(REALITY CHECK: MEXICANS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT, RACIST AND CRIMINALLY PRONE. THERE ARE OVER A MILLION MEXICAN GANG MEMBERS ALONE IN OUR OPEN AND UNDEFENDED BORDERS!)

But immigrant rights advocates say it’s not just people with serious criminal backgrounds that will be affected. Organizers of Sunday’s march charge that local jails hold illegal immigrants who have committed minor infractions, such as traffic violations.
“They’re not just taking cars, they’re putting people in jail,” said Alvarez.
(THE OL’ GRINGO IS A RACIST CRAP!)
He said he believes law enforcement officials are “profiling” immigrants based on their appearance, a claim Cogbill and other local law enforcement officials strongly reject.
Secure Communities, Kice said, recently has been expanded to Orange County, bringing the number of participating counties to 12. The others are Los Angeles, Ventura, San Diego, Imperial, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Sacramento, Solano, San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties.
There are 120 jurisdictions in 16 states now on board, she said. By next year, Secure Communities should be present in every state and should have nationwide coverage by 2013.


18,000 ILLEGAL CRIMINALS GUILTY OF MURDER, RAPE & KIDNAPPING NABBED!

Since its inception, Kice wrote in an e-mail, the program has identified “more than 18,000 aliens charged with or convicted of Level 1 crimes, such as murder, rape and kidnapping — 4,000 of whom have already been removed from the United States.”
Most of those who have not yet been deported are completing their sentences, she said. An additional 25,000 illegal immigrants charged with “Level 2 and 3 crimes,” such as burglary and serious property crimes, have been deported. This latter category of crimes represents 90 percent of the crimes committed by illegal immigrants, she said.

Thousands march in Santa Rosa for immigration reform

Police estimated 3,000 to 5,000 people marched from Roseland to Courthouse Square for an annual rally to demand more rights for immigrants.

Thousands of people marched in Santa Rosa on Sunday to rally for federal immigration reform and demand changes in the way immigrants are treated by local law enforcement agencies.
The annual march, which began in Roseland and ended with a rally that overflowed Courthouse Square, drew more than 5,000 people, police estimated.
It was one of a series of marches held Sunday around the country — from Washington, D.C., to Salt Lake City and Salinas — designed to pressure lawmakers to overhaul the nation's immigration system.

ILLEGAL MARIA LEON, 38, AND HER DAUGHTER MARIA SANCHEZ, 13 ARE EITHER BOTH ILLEGALS, OR WE PAID FOR MARIA’S BIRTHING OF MARIA SANCHEZ AND THE WELFARE THAT FOLLOWED. MARIA LEON HAS BEEN IN THIS COUNTRY HOW LONG? SHE CAN’T SPEAK ENGLISH BECAUSE MEXICANS ARE RACIST, AND TO SPEAK THE GRINGO’S LANGUAGE IS APING THEM.
APPARENTLY NO ONE TOLD MARIA LEON IT IS ILLEGAL TO VOTE?????

BUT THEN OUR LAWS ARE LIKE OUR BORDERS; A STUPID GRINGO JOKE, ONLY REINFORCED BY THE LA RAZA DEMS HISPANDERING FOR THE ILLEGALS’ ILLEGAL VOTES.
WHAT IS A GREATER THREAT TO OUR NATION THAN 38 MILLION MEXICANS THAT HAVE CONTEMPT FOR OUR BORDERS, LAWS, LANGUAGE, CULTURE, AND ARE OUT VOTING TO FOR THE BIGGEST HISPANDERER?


Waving U.S. flags, Maria Leon, 38, and her daughter Maria Sanchez, 13, said they marched in Santa Rosa to remind President Obama of his promise to push an immigration reform bill.
“We voted for him knowing he'd make change,” Leon said through her daughter, who acted as interpreter.
The annual march and rally are held in honor of the late Cesar Chavez, a farm worker, labor leader and civil rights activist who helped found the United Farm Workers union.
PLEASE TELL THESE PEOPLE TO HEAD BACK TO NARCOMEX AND DO THEIR “AZTEC DANCING, AND MAKE NARCOMEX INTO THE DUMPSTER THEY MAKE COMMUNITIES THEY INVADE AND OCCUPY HERE.)
Hundreds of people began gathering Sunday morning at an Albertson's parking lot on Sebastopol Road, the staging grounds for the march. With the large crowd, mariachi bands, Aztec dancers, drummers, American flags and red, white and blue balloons, the pre-march had a festival air as people waited to walk.
Roseland University Prep teacher Enedina Avelar said she came with her three daughters to show support for the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act — called the DREAM Act — a proposed law that would give minors the opportunity to enlist in the military or go to college and have a path to citizenship.
Laws preventing undocumented children from applying for jobs, scholarships and loans unfairly punish children for their parents' choices, she said.
“We have students in that situation, and they say it doesn't help them to work hard because when they graduate there are no opportunities,” Avelar said. “I tell them someday the laws will change and you'll be ready.”
A circle of about 20 people carried a 40-foot-long quilt made of the flags of North American countries. Among them, Ernesto Rodriguez, 39, of Rohnert Park said he's troubled by how often he hears racist rhetoric used by people in discussions of immigration laws.
(“WE’RE JUST FAMILIES. WE’RE JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE”… EXCEPT THAT THEY ARE NOT! MEXICANS ARE RACIST, HAVE CONTEMPT FOR THIS COUNTRY’S LAWS, BORDERS AND LANGUAGE. THE VOTE ILLEGALLY, AND WE PAY FOR THEIR BIRTHING WHILE THEY TEACH THEIR CHILDREN TO VIVA MEXICO!)
“The flags represent unity,” Rodriguez said. “It's important for us to come out so people see the faces of so-called illegals. We're just families. We're just like anybody else.”
Many banners, signs and chants called for law enforcement agencies to stop seizing cars from undocumented immigrants who lack a driver's license.
“Stop the confiscation of vehicles,” declared a sign carried by Graciela Rueda, 39, of Santa Rosa.
Immigrants who lose their cars cannot get to work or transport their families, said Davin Cardenas with Graton Day Laborers and the Committee for Immigrant Rights.
“It affects working people,” he said. “For a lot of people their automobile is the only property of value they own.”
Organizers also urged county officials to pull out of a controversial program that uses fingerprints to identify illegal immigrants in the county jail. Last week, Sheriff Bill Cogbill said his department had no input on the federal program, which scans inmates' fingerprints through a database maintained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Sonoma County and city officials must take a stand against local involvement in immigration law enforcement, Cardenas said.
“We need them to be outspoken,” Cardenas said.
The march was much larger than officials expected, said Santa Rosa Police Sgt. Doug Schlief.
“I think it was a little bit bigger than what we've seen in the last couple of years,” Schlief said. He said last year's march was about 2,000 people.
While the march was peaceful, it did cause unexpected traffic congestion as performers stopped to entertain, blocking roadways, Schlief said.
“It's turned into more of a parade,” Schlief said.
The march ended with a rally at Courthouse Square in downtown Santa Rosa. Marcos Suarez, a U.S. Census worker, urged the crowd to fill out census forms and tried to reassure them the information wouldn't be used to find people in the country illegally.
“If we don't get counted, then we lose money for services,” Suarez said. “We need to make sure we don't lose seats in Congress.”
In the crowd, Sebastopol City Councilwoman Kathleen Shaffer said she came to support the work of Graton Day Laborers and other groups working to bring undocumented immigrants out of the shadows.
“They're trying to bring workers in, get them organized. It gets them off the streets,” Shaffer said. “People can appreciate that. I'm here to support that idea.”
Anitra Kitts and Bill Vonseggern just returned home to Santa Rosa from a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico and decided to attend the rally as a show of support.
“We've seen what their home looks like and the needs that push them up here,” Kitts said, speaking of poverty and difficult living conditions they'd seen in Mexico. “They're just trying to have a good life like the rest of us.”

OKLAHOMA INCARCERATES ILLEGALS? Aren't They Criminals Contemptuous of Our Laws & Borders?

Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. Hope we didn't send any of them to your state. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.I C E even tried to stop it !

Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional. SB 1102

Guess what........ Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003

...


Guess what........... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month, my state has voted and passed a law that ALL driver's license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. We have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of our road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.

By the way, Obama does not like any of this..neither does I C E
Guess what....who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

100% correct! The illegals get to live under the FairTax -- they get to keep all their pay--- illegal as it is--- and they only pay sales tax--- that tax system is good enough for illegal criminals--- but not for the honest American.

lets see a socialist start a business? It's time for these ticks to start doing their "fair share" --- pay a wage to the entrenched un-employed.

Always remember this:

Money has to be made---- before it can be TAXED

I owned my own business or it owned me for 28 years. Nobody that works for the govt. has even a remote clue how hard it is. I closed it 2 years ago. God help you, man if you own a business in CA. You would have to be out of your mind to own a business in CA with employees. Just take the gravy train and work for the govt. For 28 years I never knew what a paid holiday or paid vacation was. Seven days a week for months on end while my friend that works for the city gets every single Holiday, stress day, free floaters and every fucking day that comes down the pike. 6 weeks vacation, earned sick leave and a great pension.You might think you are a great worker, talented, a real go getter. It don't pay. I have national recognition for my work and everybody in my industry knows there isn't anyone who cared more and was more honest and reliable. What a chump. Do yourself a favor, if you think you might want to start a business and hire people, take my advice, just go work 9-5 for the govt. or someone else. The odds are so stacked against you in this state that if you knew you would run as fast as hell away from it.

If I didn't have to compete with companies doing all cash work with Ileagles working under the table it would have been fine.Take away my payroll taxes and worker's comp alone and life would be real easy. Once the illeagles get in your line of work, you are done.

New Caucus to Focus on Illegal Workers, Unemployed Americans
Friday, three allies in the House of Representatives announced the formation of a new caucus to focus on the nexus between illegal immigration and unemployment in America. Headed by Reps. Lamar Smith (R-TX), Sue Myrick (R-NC), and Gary Miller (R-C), the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus consists of 40 Members from both sides of the aisle, who will work to highlight the link between illegal immigration and record unemployment in the United States. As the official unemployment rate hovers around 10 percent and the underemployed rate around 25 percent, these Members hope to promote immigration enforcement and getting Americans back to work.
Commenting on the new House caucus, Rep. Lamar Smith, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, said: “If the immigration laws we have on the books were enforced, we could cut unemployment in half.” Rep Myrick noted that employment is the main magnet that draws illegal workers to the United States. “By encouraging employers to use E-Verify and increasing worksite enforcement,” Myrick said, “we make sure that Americans and legal immigrants are able to get back to work.” Rep. Miller commented on his state of California and the enormous impact illegal immigration has had there. “Although 2.2 million Californians are unemployed, nearly 1.9 million illegal immigrants are employed,” Miller said. “This is simply unacceptable and is an affront to unemployed American and legal workers.” (Press Release, March 19, 2010).

DHS Terminates Funding For Virtual Fence
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced last week that it will immediately halt funding for new work on the virtual fence on the U.S.-Mexican border. (DHS Press Release, March 16, 2010). DHS has Secretary Janet Napolitano said that DHS will immediately reallocate $50 million of stimulus funding because “The system of sensors and cameras along the Southwest border known as SBInet has been plagued with cost overruns and missed deadlines.” Id. Her announcement preempted the release of a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report that was harshly critical of the Secure Border Initiative Network (SBInet), which includes the virtual fence program. The GAO report, released two days later, detailed DHS’s mismanagement of the program and concluded that the program to use technology to secure the border was developing new problems faster than it could fix existing ones. (GAO Report). According to GAO, DHS’s mismanagement of the virtual fence has “increased the risk that the system will not perform as expected and will take longer and cost more than necessary.” (GAO Testimony, March 18, 2010).
The $6.7 billion virtual fence project was started in 2005 as a component of SBInet, and consists of technology aimed at stopping illegal immigrants, drug smugglers, and terrorists from crossing our southern border. DHS contracted with the Boeing Corporation in 2006 to implement a series of nine security towers equipped with night vision cameras, radar and sensors, along with a variety of communications systems and software to monitor activities along large stretches of the border. Since its inception, the virtual fence has been plagued with technical difficulties that have delayed its completion. The technology was supposed to have been in place by June 2007, but the system is still full of bugs.
In an apparent attempt to get in front of the audit results, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano last month ordered a reassessment of the entire initiative and President Obama’s budget proposal cut $225 million in funding for the virtual fence program. (See FAIR’s Legislative Update, February 16, 2010). Napolitano stated at the time that “Americans need border security now - not 10 years down the road.” (The Washington Times, February 4, 2010). Of last week’s decision to halt any further funding of the virtual fence, she said, “Not only do we have an obligation to secure our borders, we have a responsibility to do so in the most cost effective way possible.” (DHS Press Release, March 16, 2010).
In a House Homeland Security hearing last week, GAO provided highly critical testimony regarding the management of SBInet. One official noted, “SBInet testing has not been adequately managed, as illustrated by poorly defined test plans and numerous and extensive last-minute changes to test procedures. Further, testing that has been performed identified a growing number of system performance and quality problems - a trend that is not indicative of a maturing system that is ready for deployment anytime soon.” (GAO Testimony, March 18, 2010). Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, described SBInet as “a grave and expensive disappointment.” (Washington Post, March 16, 2010). Thompson blamed DHS for its role, “The department could’ve been far more vigilant in its oversight.” (NPR, March 17, 2010).
Napolitano’s decision to cease funding that would expand the program may not mean certain death for the virtual fence, but coupled with the harsh report from GAO, is a critical blow to the project. The funding freeze is pending a broader reassessment but is a sign that the program will likely be terminated.

U.S. and Mexican officials will meet to discuss drug trafficking, violence
By Carrie Johnson and Mary Beth Sheridan
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 23, 2010; A02
A high-level delegation of U.S. officials, including three Cabinet secretaries, will meet with Mexican officials in Mexico City on Tuesday to discuss efforts to disrupt drug cartels as violence increasingly strikes Americans on the border.
The meeting, which will bring together a particularly high-powered group of dignitaries, comes a week after U.S. law enforcement agents fanned out in raids across El Paso to gather intelligence about a Texas gang. The gang is suspected of involvement in the recent killing of a pregnant American consulate officer and her husband, a corrections officer.
The Barrio Azteca gang, whose leader in Juarez is one of the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitives, was formed in a Texas prison and has been linked to brutal episodes on both sides of the border. Investigators are trying to find out the motivation for the deadly attacks near the Juarez consulate, including whether the incident turned on a case of mistaken identity.
Long-running initiatives by the Mexican government to fight drug trafficking have included calls for more U.S. assistance -- a focus of the meetings with Mexican officials such as President Felipe Calderón and Foreign Secretary Patricia Espinosa. The meetings have been scheduled for months but took on new urgency with the recent killings.
A Justice Department delegation -- including Gary G. Grindler, acting deputy attorney general; Michele M. Leonhart, acting administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration; and Kenneth Melson, acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives -- will accompany Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates; Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano; Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair; John O. Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism; and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"We hope to continue the already high-level cooperation we have with the Mexican government," Grindler said in an interview. "We'll explore what are the most important priorities from the perspective of the Mexican government. . . . As we can all observe, the problems are immense. The drug cartels have a lot of money and there's a lot at stake for them."
Last week, in a separate action, U.S. authorities arrested seven people in connection with two 2009 incidents of kidnapping and homicide after 700 pounds of marijuana hidden inside a tractor rig were seized last year. Five of the men are American citizens living near the border in the United States; two are Mexican nationals.
The arrests came on the same day that federal agents began Operation Knock Down, the El Paso raids, to glean information about the attack on U.S. consulate employee Lesley Enriquez and her husband, Arthur Redelfs, in their sport-utility vehicle this month. Another man married to a consulate worker also was fatally shot after leaving the same party in Juarez.
The meeting comes as the Merida Initiative, designed to spend $1.4 billion to battle organized crime and violence by training police and Mexican prosecutors, reaches its third year of operation. The Obama administration has requested $346 million more for the program in its 2011 budget. Last year, 107 fugitives were extradited to the United States, and Mexican police have apprehended three cartel leaders since December. But many drug kingpins remain at large.
At the same time, the number of U.S. citizens killed in Mexico has more than doubled since the Merida pact was signed, State Department statistics show. Last year, 79 Americans were killed there, compared with 35 three years ago.

America's fickle welcome mat
Anti-immigrant sentiment and immigration crackdowns have always paralleled our economic fortunes.

San Diego Warning: Health Reporter Discovers The Shocking Truth!
The Obama administration has set a record for deportations of illegal immigrants, much to the dismay of immigration reform advocates who had hoped the president would reverse the enforcement policies of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

In fiscal year 2009, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 387,790 people, a 5% increase in "removals" (in the parlance of immigration officials) over the previous year.

President Obama may have made immigrant-friendly promises during the campaign, but viewed in the context of history, the deportations were practically inevitable. Anti-immigrant sentiment and immigration crackdowns have always paralleled America's economic fortunes. Immigrants have been welcomed during good times, only to find themselves vilified when times get tough.

In the latter part of the 19th century, nearly 250,000 migrants from China -- many recruited by U.S. companies -- crossed the Pacific Ocean to work in America's fields and mines and on the railroads. About 15,000 Chinese miners joined the California Gold Rush.

But after the boom went bust and an economic depression took hold, virulent anti-Chinese hatred -- motivated by a combination of racism and the fear that Chinese workers were depressing wages -- started in the West and rippled through national politics. Mobs attacked Chinese businesses and homes in San Francisco. The California Workingmen's Party adopted the slogan "The Chinese Must Go!" and rallies decrying the "Chinese curse" were held around California.

In an effort to bring a halt to most legal immigration from China, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. It was the first time that federal law had been used to control and limit migration to the United States by a particular nationality.

During World War I, agribusiness, worried about a labor shortage, prevailed on Herbert Hoover, then head of the U.S. Food Administration, to pressure Washington to open the migration valve and allow in more Mexican farmworkers.

But with the onset of the Depression at the end of the 1920s, Americans showed little tolerance for the migrants it had so recently courted. Hoover, now president, initiated a mass deportation program that continued into the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Immigration agents were ruthless in their raids, chasing down Latinos, ignoring due process and failing to distinguish between legal and nonlegal residents of the United States. Authorities deported as many as 1 million people.

The prosperous 1940s and 1950s gave birth to the Bracero Agreement, a "temporary" worker program to address World War II labor needs that ended up lasting 22 years.

But then an economic downturn at the end of the Korean War brought yet another crackdown. In 1954, President Eisenhower's immigration chief, retired Gen. Joseph "Jumpin' Joe" Swing, launched Operation Wetback. Government personnel rounded up migrants in border communities and deported them by bus, truck, train and ship, transporting them to the Mexican interior. By the time the deportations ended a few months after they began, the Immigration and Naturalization Service claimed to have forcibly removed 1.1 million Mexicans.

During the 1970s and early 1980s, migration from Mexico accelerated, pushed by economic conditions south of the border and fueled by relatively higher wages in the United States.

In 1981, as U.S. unemployment climbed, Atty. Gen. William French Smith sounded the alarm: "We have lost control of our borders." As the country headed into a 16-month-long recession, the Reagan administration unveiled an immigration reform plan to combine increased enforcement with legalization. It took five years for President Reagan's Immigration Reform and Control Act to become law. During that time, the INS budget (measured in constant dollars) jumped by 28%.

The Reagan reforms did little if anything to stop illegal immigration, which ticked sharply upward in the early 1990s as a rise in the U.S. service economy created a need for low-skilled workers. The combination of continued migration and economic uncertainty made for a volatile political brew. In 1994, anti-immigration activists campaigned for a California ballot initiative designed to eliminate public social services for illegal migrants. Politicians seized on an emotional issue.

"They keep on coming!" an announcer ominously intoned over black-and-white video of Mexicans rushing across the border near San Diego, a campaign commercial for Republican California Gov. Pete Wilson, then running for reelection.

Stepped-up immigration enforcement was hardly a partisan issue. With initiatives such as Operation Blockade in El Paso, followed by Operation Gatekeeper in San Diego, President Clinton continued the militarization of the border, a pattern that continued under President Bush. In eight years, Bush more than doubled the staff of the Border Patrol, raising the total from about 9,000 to 20,000 agents, even as he unsuccessfully pushed for comprehensive immigration reform.

In the face of declining congressional prospects for his own reform package, Obama is using executive powers to follow through on his other immigration-related pledge to step up enforcement. In doing so, he is following a long bipartisan tradition: Namely, as goes the economy, so goes immigration policy.
