U.S. RELEASES HUNDREDS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS FROM TERRORIST NATIONS

Here’s the gig: “Homeland Security” is now HOMELAND SECURITY = PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP!

OBAMA HAS STAKED HIS ADMINSTRATION WITH LA RAZA PARTY MEMBERS LIKE JANET NAPOLITANO!
FROM JUDICIAL WATCH

WHEN HAS ANYONE HEARD ONE WORD OUT OF OBAMA'S MOUTH ABOUT MEXICAN TERRORIST ON OUR OPEN & UNDEFENDED BORDERS?



U.S. Releases Hundreds Of Illegal Aliens From Terrorist Nations
In a reprehensible move for an agency charged with protecting the nation, the Department of Homeland Security has released nearly 500 illegal immigrants—who remain fugitives—from terrorist-sponsoring countries and others known to present a danger to the U.S.
The appalling information was revealed this week by a conservative news publication that obtained government records under the Freedom of Information Act. The records show that from 2007 to 2009, the Department of Homeland Security caught and released 481 illegal aliens from nations designated by the State Department as sponsors of terrorism or “countries of interest.”
The dangerous illegal immigrants remain fugitives whose whereabouts are unknown, according to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) database accessed by the news group. All came from four nations that sponsor terrorism—Iran, Syria, Sudan and Cuba—or countries determined by the U.S. government to present a threat. Those include Afghanistan, Algeria, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen.
The information obtained in the public records request includes the date that each illegal immigrant was taken into custody by the federal government, which ICE jurisdiction arrested them, the date they were released, the status of their case and other personal details about the alien. The records specifically state that there are 481 “active” cases for “fugitives” from the four state sponsors of terror and nine of the 10 “countries of interest.”
Cuba has the most with 137, followed by Nigeria (97), Pakistan (87) and Lebanon (34). Iran and Iraq have 29 and 26 respectively and Somalia 22. The rest include Somalia (22), Sudan (14), Syria (13) and Yemen and Algeria with eight each. Afghanistan has four and Saudi Arabia, where most of the 9/11 hijackers came from, has two.
ICE justifies their release by explaining that the immigration detention system can only accommodate a portion of the 1.6 million aliens being processed in the country. Everyone can’t be detained, so “we have to prioritize who we put in detention,” says an ICE official. Apparently the U.S. government doesn’t consider it a priority to keep undocumented nationals from terrorist-sponsoring nations from roaming freely throughout the country.

JUDICIAL WATCH - Colorado Gives Illegals Unemployment Benefits!

Soooooo How Did These Illegals Get In Our Country and Jobs in the First Place???



JUDICIAL WATCH

Colorado Gives Illegal Immigrants Unemployment Benefits
ViewDiscussion.Last Updated: Mon, 08/09/2010 - 11:52am


Colorado pays illegal immigrants unemployment insurance because a director at the state agency that cuts the checks eliminated a key tool designed to prevent payments from going to unqualified residents.

As a result the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) regularly makes unemployment insurance payments to illegal aliens and other citizens who don’t qualify for the taxpayer-funded benefit. The story was made public after an investigative news organization obtained internal electronic mail showing that a high-ranking official ordered the agency to stop using a software control implemented to screen applicants’ immigration status.

The CDLE’s unemployment director (Mike Cullen) actually issued an official work order in early 2009 to shut the system down. The order, which was given “top priority,” forced the agency’s information technology department to reset the software so that it stopped questioning the immigration status of applicants.

Since the change was implemented, any residency or citizenship related questions routinely asked of those filing for unemployment benefits have been ignored by the computer system. The move violates a 2006 state law that mandates that certain government benefits—including unemployment insurance—be denied to illegal immigrants.

A few days after the story hit the internet, the head of the CDLE said that state lawmakers were actually notified earlier this year that the department shut down the immigration screening tool because it was causing a backlog. With a record number of unemployment claims, the screening tool was “holding everything up,” according to the agency’s director.

It appears that many at the agency knew they were violating state law. In fact, some CDLE employees questioned the legality of suspending the program in emails obtained by the reporter who broke the story. One flat out asked “is this legal?” Another admitted that not screening for immigration status would “disable” the state law that specifically requires it. Several lawmakers have demanded an investigation.

ALIPAC.us FIGHTING THE OBAMA McCAIN AMNESTY - Your Job May Be Next!

Friends of ALIPAC,

As the news sinks in across America that President Barack Obama and one biased judge stand with illegal alien invaders against Americans, the president's approval ratings are falling to new lows.

This will increase the number of our candidates that oppose Amnesty that will win this November!

If the highly biased Gallup polls show that 62 percent of Americans disapprove of Obama's handling of immigration issues, then you can count on the real numbers being much higher, over 70 percent.

We have watched Gallup polling on immigration again and again, and it generally results in 10 percent more favorable to Obama, than most other polls.

A recent Gallup poll says 62 percent of Americans disapprove of how Obama is handling immigration issues, while only 29 percent approve. While these numbers are stunning, the truth is that Gallup consistently shows bias in their polling results, favoring the President and the open borders lobby, by a usual spread of at least 10 percentage points. We have documented Gallup coming out with poll readings that severely underplay the true opinions of Americans on immigration issues. You can count on the real numbers against Obama exceeding 70 percent.

There are 3 important things that you can do to help Arizona, to help your own state, and to stop Amnesty.

Step 1: Please monitor and advise ALIPAC regarding our 2010 endorsements. These are being updated often at :

http://www.alipac.us/2010_campaign_endorsements.html

We must elect enough candidates to stop McCain and Obama's Comprehensive Amnesty plans. It will not matter if all 50 states crack down on illegal immigration because all will be lost, including America's borders, if McCain and Obama turn 12 million or more illegal aliens into welfare eligible voters in our elections. We need you to help ALIPAC get more candidate surveys in from federal candidates, and we need you to help us make the best decisions possible. Do you know how your local candidates stand on these issues at this time?


Step 2:Please visit our Support Arizona's SB 1070 website. www.AgainstAmnesty.comand sign up to display your support! Once you have signed up, a blue dot will appear above your town showing a new supporter on the electronic maps! Once you have signed up, use the feature on the right of the page, or your own email lists, or Facebook and Twitter to send others to www.AgainstAmnesty.com

A steady stream of support is still coming into this website. Please do all that you can to spread the word and to get more links and people assisting the site. The higher the two numbers go, the better our chances are of stopping and reversing illegal immigration.

Step 3:There is a big event this Sunday August 15, 2010 down on the Arizona border. We apologize for the late notice, but we were invited two days ago. While we appreciate the invitation, we will not be able to send a speaker to this event. We have however, agreed to notify all of our national supporters.

The organizers have told us it will be very hot at this event, there will be a large amount of security, and that groups that do not share ALIPAC's inclusive positions are not being invited.

Some of the guest speakers that you may want to go and show your support for include US Senate Candidate JD Hayworth (Endorsed by ALIPAC), AZ State Representative Russell Pearce (Author of AZ's SB 1070), legendary Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and many other candidates for federal office that stand with us in our demands for secure borders, interior enforcement, and opposition to Amnesty.

ALIPAC is trying to get surveys back from many of these candidates before the event. If you attend this event, please ask any federal candidates that you meet, "Have you filled out ALIPAC's 2010 Candidate Survey yet?"

For maps and more details about this first ever Tea Party on the Border event, organized by United We Stand For Americans and the The Patriot Caucus, please visit....

Please take a few minutes to look at supporting steps 1, 2, 3.

IS OBAMA REALLY DEPORTING MORE ILLEGALS? Or Is That Only His LA RAZA PROPAGANDA?

OBAMA’S BIT BY BIT AMNESTY PLOY… For Every Illegal They Catch, There’s 8 THEY DO NOT AND DON’T REALLY WANT TO!


Obama as border cop: He's deported record numbers of illegal immigrants
New data suggest that the dramatic rise in deportations for illegal immigrants since 9/11 has continued under President Obama, hitting record levels in 2009.
By Lourdes Medrano, Correspondent
posted August 12, 2010 at 9:29 am EDT
Tucson, Ariz. —
A parade of states led by Arizona says the federal government is not doing enough to combat illegal immigration. But by one measure – deportations – the federal government is doing more than it has ever done.
In 2009, the United States deported a record 387,790 people – a 5 percent increase over 2008. Nearly two months before the end of the 2010 federal fiscal year, the deportation rate is down slightly from 2009, but the number of removals is still likely to be more than triple what it was in 2001.
The numbers come from a recently released study by Syracuse University in New York. Among the other significant findings: An increasing share of deportees are immigrants who have been convicted of a crime, reflecting President Obama's desire to reorient the deportation process toward targeting criminals.
Critics of Mr. Obama worry that the focus on criminals could mean a pass for most noncriminal illegal immigrants. They also note that deportation alone does not represent a comprehensive immigration policy. But the deportation trend does run counter to many perceptions in border states and beyond about federal anti-illegal immigration efforts.
“We have never, ever deported so many people from the country as we are doing now,” says Douglas Massey, an immigration expert at Princeton University in New Jersey.
The only other time deportations came close to existing levels was in the early 1930s, during quasi-official deportation campaigns against Mexicans. Expulsions peaked at 136,000 in 1931 and "were done primarily by local officials and don't show up in federal statistics on deportations,” Professor Massey says.
Behind the rise: 9/11
The current deportation boom began in the mid-1990s and accelerated after the 9/11 attacks. Since coming into office, Obama has begun to recast this trend.
In 2008 and 2009, for instance, the majority of removals were people who had not been convicted of any crime, according to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data. Through Aug. 2, 51 percent of the 294,230 people deported or forced out this fiscal year were convicted criminals.
The report by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse is based on ICE data. It comes as the Obama administration endures strong criticism from state lawmakers and conservative pundits who say the federal government has done little to clamp down on illegal immigration and to secure the border.
In April, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a law that required local police, during the course of their normal duties, to determine the immigration status of potential illegal immigrants. Last month, a federal judge put this and other controversial parts of the law on hold, although some portions became effective July 29.
The Syracuse report is a rebuke to those backing Arizona-style laws, says Gregory Chen, director of advocacy for the American Immigration Lawyers Association: “It’s a perfect example of how those allegations are based really only in politics.”
Obama too focused on criminals?
But others say the Syracuse report doesn't tell the full story. Removals may be on the rise, but they are not enough to rein in illegal immigration, says Ira Mehlman, a spokesman with the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
“The problem isn’t just criminal aliens, it is a general lack of respect for our laws, and even noncriminal aliens do have a significant impact on state budgets, on unemployment, on all sorts of things.”
Mr. Mehlman says the efforts to remove criminals is a tactic designed to promote an eventual amnesty for illegal immigrants who don’t commit crimes.
The report, however, suggests that a focus on criminals does not necessarily lead to a criminals-only policy. The report singles out the Secure Communities program – which relies on fingerprints from arrests – as one way the federal government can cast a wider net. The program targets not just suspects in serious crimes such as homicide, kidnapping, and sexual assault but also those arrested for traffic violations and a variety of other minor offenses.
The database-driven program is “a very large contributor to the increase in criminal aliens ICE has identified,” says Vincent Picard, an agency spokesman.
Secure Communities was launched in October 2008 and plans are to implement it in every jail by 2013.
Some say the continued rise in deportations may be Obama’s way of trying to win over critics and make his version of comprehensive immigration reform more palatable to opponents.
“The administration is trying to gain credibility – with enhanced enforcement, troops to the border, and by other measures – to make clear it is taking action on immigration,” says Jack Chin, a University of Arizona law professor.

AN AMERICAN SEES & SPEAKS - On Los Angeles Unde Mex Occupation & Anchors

Well I give the LARAZA TIMES credit for one thing, at least they finally admited that they hate white people, and they are pro Hispanic,open borders, reconquesta nut jobs. Of course legal immigration was helpful when this country was being built out of the wilderness, we needed millions of unskilled workers, but not anymore. Furthermore ther were no social services safety nets a hundred years ago,.no food stamps, welfare etc. There is a reason they are called AMENDMENTS, so that the Constitution can be changed to fit the times. Anchor baby is a very accurate term, because todays anchor babies are dragging this country down. I really wonder what the editorial staff of the LARAZA TIMES thinks about when they drive to the office through a bankrupt, gang infested, third world dump of a city. Do we really want more


Anchor Babies Grab One Quarter of Welfare Dollars in LA Co

The anchor baby scam has proven lucrative for illegal aliens in Los Angeles County, at considerable cost to our own poor and downtrodden legal citizenry.

The numbers show that more than $50 million in CalWORKS benefits and food stamps for January went to children born in the United States whose parents are in the country without documentation. This represents approximately 23 percent of the total benefits under the state welfare and food stamp programs, Antonovich said.

"When you add this to $350 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for health care, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year -- not including the millions of dollars for education," Antonovich said.

I love children and I'm all for compassion -- smart, teach-them-to-fish compassion. But when laws, the Constitution, and enforcement allow illegal aliens (the operative word here being "illegal") to insinuate themselves into our nation and bleed us of our precious financial resources, then laws, the Constitution and enforcement need to be changed.

CITIES FALL TO MEXICAN CORRUPTION - A Glimpse At La Raza Occupation

It didn't take long for Aguirre and his allies to make their mark. The council declared Maywood a "sanctuary city," making it a lightning rod in the debate about illegal immigration and provoking fierce debates among the city's mostly Latino residents.

The city of Maywood in Los Angeles County declared itself a sanctuary zone for illegal aliens this year. Then it got rid of its drunk-driving checkpoints, because they were nabbing too many illegal aliens. Next, this 96 percent Latino city, almost half of whose adult population lacks a ninth-grade education, disbanded its police traffic division entirely, so that illegals wouldn't need to worry about having their cars towed for being unlicensed.


Maywood the latest subject of corruption investigations
The city has been hailed as a bastion of citizen-activism in a civically disengaged region. But now, the FBI and other agencies are looking into possible conflicts of interest and other misconduct.
By Hector Becerra, Los Angeles Times
6:22 PM PDT, August 16, 2010


Maywood Councilman Felipe Aguirre sees his small working-class city as "the Santa Monica of the Southeast" — a place built on activism, a healthy distrust of the establishment and compassion for the less fortunate.

But these days, Maywood is gaining a decidedly less romantic image.

Earlier this year, officials announced that they were firing the city workforce and outsourcing most municipal functions to the neighboring city of Bell. Then, Bell's government imploded in a scandal over eye-popping salaries paid to the city manager and other senior officials.

Now, Maywood is under scrutiny from the FBI and other law enforcement agencies over two city deals with ties to Aguirre and his allies. Sources told The Times that investigators are also looking into deals apparently unrelated to Aguirre.

The Maywood probes are the latest in a string of public corruption investigations in southeast Los Angeles County that have resulted in indictments in South Gate, Lynwood and Vernon in recent years. The California attorney general's office and the L.A. County district attorney are now investigating Bell as well.

It's unclear exactly how many transactions the FBI is examining in Maywood. Several sources with knowledge of the probe said one of the deals involves a $95,000 federal grant that Aguirre and a business partner received from the city in 2007. They used it to refurbish the facade of a property where the business — a community advocacy group — is located. Aguirre's business received the grant despite concerns from the city's planning director over a possible conflict of interest.

David Mango, the planning director, said he immediately called the city attorney's office, which raised no objections.

In an interview, Aguirre said he regrets taking the money. He said he had concerns at the time but was never told he was ineligible for the money.

"It's there, it happened, and I can't take it back," he said. "Do I wish it happened? No. Should I have talked to someone else and gotten better advice? Probably. But it happened and I can't take it back and I can't say it didn't happen."

Aguirre's election in 2005 marked a shift in Maywood from a relatively conservative Latino-majority council to a more liberal one dominated by social activists. The old council had been criticized by many Maywood residents for supporting police activity that included aggressive parking and traffic enforcement that allegedly targeted illegal immigrants. They were also criticized for maintaining cozy ties to a towing company that lavished some public officials with meals and tickets to sporting events in Las Vegas.

It didn't take long for Aguirre and his allies to make their mark. The council declared Maywood a "sanctuary city," making it a lightning rod in the debate about illegal immigration and provoking fierce debates among the city's mostly Latino residents.

Over the next few years Aguirre and other council members, with the support of activist groups including Union de Vecinos, took on the Police Department, the Los Angeles Unified School District and a local water district.

"Our best defense, and our best situation, is the people being organized," Aguirre said. "This is a city that basically tries to strengthen the roots of community participation."

Outsiders noticed the increased public participation in Maywood — particularly in contrast to neighboring Bell. "Maywood is more volatile," said Assemblyman Hector De La Torre (D-South Gate). "But in Bell, people mistook stability for democracy and participation."

The question in Maywood is whether activism may have become a cover for improper spending.

In addition to investigating Aguirre's $95,000 grant, law enforcement officials have asked questions about a three-year, $360,000 contract for Union de Vecinos to run a lead abatement program. The officials familiar with the law enforcement inquiries spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the subject publicly.

Interviews and records reviewed by The Times show that the group did not remove lead from any homes, although it did perform lead tests and conduct public education campaigns.

Former Maywood City Manager Paul Phillips said he cancelled the contract in late 2009 because he didn't think the city was getting its money's worth and was concerned about the group's ties to Aguirre and his allies.

"There were no efforts to do any remediation," Phillips said. "I just thought the dollar amounts were excessive."

Mango, the planning director, said he also had early concerns about Union de Vecinos. The group had not been submitting addresses of residences they had visited. The group told the city that confidentiality was needed to protect tenants from landlords. Aguirre said that after concerns were raised last year, the group began submitting addresses to the city attorney's office.

Mango said he thought the group did a good job with outreach efforts and that the city's agreement did not require actual lead abatement. But he said the group's ability to account for government money was inadequate early on: "Some of their early billings would not have passed muster if they were audited. They were pretty flimsy."

Aguirre said he recommended Union de Vecinos for the lead program because he considered them an "honest and transparent group" that had done a lot of work in the community.

Co-founder Elizabeth Blaney said Union de Vecinos had done lead outreach and education before. When she presented the proposal to Mango and council members on the redevelopment board, none of them voted against the contract or voiced opposition, she said.

When Mexicans take over..... THE LA RAZA (THE RACE) OCCUPATION PLAN at MAYWOOD or like Maywood’s sister city, TIJUANA?

The city of Maywood in Los Angeles County declared itself a sanctuary zone for illegal aliens this year.

Have you ever heard of CALIFORNIA’S LA RAZA DEMS speaking out about the 30 billion Mexican drug invasion? OR THE EVER GROWING MEXICAN GANG INVASION?


What happens when the Mexicans invade. Beyond walls covered with graffiti, surge in crime, anchor babies, contempt for the American flag, language, and laws.... the place becomes a filthy Mexican ghetto.

The sad thing about this is there are communities being destroyed by Mexicans all over the 50 states. It’s not just the border states close to the Mexican drug routes.

Maywood to lay off all city employees, dismantle Police Department
By Ruben Vives
10:30 AM PDT, June 22, 2010


The city of Maywood will lay off all city employees and begin contracting police services with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department effective July 1, officials said.

In addition to contracting with the Sheriff's Department, the Maywood City Council voted unanimously Monday night to lay off an estimated 100 employees and contract with neighboring Bell, which will handle other city services such as finance, records management, parks and recreation, street maintenance and others. Maywood will be billed about $50,833 monthly, which officials said will save $164,375 annually.

"We will become 100% a contracted city," said Angela Spaccia, Maywood's interim city manager.

Deputies from the East Los Angeles Sheriff's Station will begin patrolling the 1.2-square-mile city by the end of the month, said Capt. Bruce Fogarty of the Sheriff's Contract Law Enforcement Bureau. The annual cost of providing those services for the small city is estimated at $3.6 million, Fogarty said.

At a council meeting Monday night, city leaders said they were forced to dismantle the Police Department and lay off city workers because they lost insurance coverage as a result of excessive police claims filed against the department. They also blamed years of financial abuse and corruption from the previous council. "We're limited on our choices and limited on what we can do," Councilman Felipe Aguirre told the standing- room-only crowd.

Frustrated and enraged residents blame the council for the city's predicament, and for not following an insurance agency's recommendations, which council members had agreed to last August. The recommendations included hiring a permanent city manager.

Some suggested that city leaders should step down.

"You guys had the power to change it and you didn't," said City Treasurer Lizeth Sandoval, 28, who addressed the council as a resident. "You single-handedly destroyed the city."

Sandoval, a city employee, will be laid off as part of the cuts.

Local activists, who refer to themselves as "A Group for a Better Maywood," announced their intention to recall four of the council members: Felipe Aguirre, Edward Varela, Vice Mayor Veronica Guardado and Mayor Ana Rosa Rizo. The same group sought a similar recall in 2008 and failed.

Immigration a Key Concern as Australia Prepares for Election Day

Sydney
16 August 2010

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard speaks at the Australian Labor Party campaign launch at the Brisbane Convention Centre in Brisbane, Australia, 16 Aug 2010
Australians will choose a new government on August 21, and both major parties promise to reduce immigration and bring in new measures to stop a steady flow of asylum seekers.

The conservative opposition promises a hard line on boats smuggling asylum seekers into Australia's northern waters. It plans to either turn the vessels around and send them back to their departure point or transfer unauthorized arrivals to an offshore processing camp on the tiny Pacific island of Nauru.

The leader of the opposition Liberal Party, Tony Abbott, accuses Prime Minister Julia Gillard of failing to protect Australia's borders.

"When Julia Gillard was the shadow immigration minister she used to say, by press release, 'another boat, another policy failure,' said Abbott. "Now she didn't get a chance to say that very often because under the Howard government there were, on average three boats a year, under this government there have been, on average, three boats a week. There have now been 151 policy failures from this government and that's on the logic of the prime minister herself."

The governing Labor party has outlined plans to handle the problem of illegal asylum seekers by building a refugee transit center in neighboring East Timor. The aim is to deter illegal migrants.

Although the plan met with a lukewarm response from authorities in East Timor, Prime Minister Gillard remains committed to it.

"I do think we should have a regional processing center," said Gillard. "I do think we should try and take away from people smugglers the very product that they sell so there'd be no point getting on a boat and risking your life paying someone to do that because you would end up in the regional processing center. That's what I'm aiming for."

Along with the economy, health care and education, immigration has emerged as one of the key issues ahead of Saturday's election.

Australia grants asylum to more than 10,000 refugees a year through international programs. And it accepts hundreds of thousands of other legal immigrants. But illegal migrants smuggled in by boat, most of them from Iraq, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, have many voters worried.

"The boat people, I don't think it's fair that some of our people are stuck in tents, out in caravan parks and these poor people I suppose you would say come in from overseas and they are given homes straight away and all, but the old Aussies seems to be forgotten," said an elderly Australian woman interviewed for this story.

Modern Australia was built on successive waves of European, Middle Eastern and Asian settlers. A quarter of the population was born overseas but there remains a suspicion of asylum seekers, especially those who come in illegally.

John Warhurst, a political scientist at Australian National University in Canberra, says there is a feeling that shadowy foreigners who arrive unannounced by boat could destabilize society.

"It is quite easy to stir the issue of immigration and boatpeople in a way which suggests, well, maybe some terrorists might arrive by boat and it also feeds into the issue of the alleged impact of immigration generally on questions of employment, on questions of services," said Warhurst. "It probably feeds into the sense of those in the west of Sydney that issues like transport, housing and employment are all somehow being affected by high levels of immigration and the boatpeople issue."

The conservative opposition says it will cut the number of legal migrants by almost half from the current 300,000 people a year if it wins Saturday's election.

Prime Minister Gillard also has promised to reduce immigration to what she calls more "sustainable" levels. Both parties understand that many Australians are concerned about what they view as a rapidly growing population, which adds pressure on housing and water supplies, and more congestion on city streets.

Business groups, however, worry that cutting immigrant numbers could deprive Australia of desperately needed skilled workers, which would damage the economy.

James Pearson, the chief executive of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Western Australia, urges the major parties to rethink their policies.

"What is important to remember is that Australia is a migrant-based society and with a rate of economic growth in this state at least (that is) the envy of the rest of the developed world, we're one of the few parts of the developed world which really is crying out for new, skilled workers," said Pearson. "We are actively recruiting. We've got our 'Australia is open for business' sign there. The only thing we need to do now is convince our federal political leaders that this country needs a strong immigration program, not cutting back."

Both the Labor government and the opposition say that reduced immigration will not damage the economy.

Prime Minister Gillard and her rival, Tony Abbott, are immigrants and were born in the United Kingdom.

Mexico: Hunting party of 8 killed in Oaxaca state

OAXACA, Mexico (AP) — Attackers shot eight men to death and piled their bodies in a pickup in the southern state of Oaxaca, and gunmen kidnapped the mayor of a city on the outskirts of the northern industrial hub of Monterrey, Mexican authorities said Monday.
It was unclear whether Mexico's drug gangs were responsible for the Oaxaca killings or the kidnapping of Mayor Edelmiro Cavazos of the city of Santiago, in the northern border state of Nuevo Leon.

But Nuevo Leon state prosecutor Alejandro Garza described the abducted mayor as "leading the front and showing his face in the fight against organized crime." He said no ransom demand had yet been received.

Garza said the mayor was taken from his home around midnight by men wearing uniforms from a police agency that was dissolved years ago. A security guard for the mayor who was released shortly after the abduction reported the crime.

The area around Monterrey has been wracked by bloody drug gang turf battles, and attacks on political figures by drug gangs — once extremely rare — have become more commonplace.

In June, gunmen believed linked to a drug cartel assassinated the front-running candidate for governor of the border state of Tamaulipas, and a month earlier gunmen killed a candidate for mayor of a Tamaulipas town.

Police said the Oaxaca victims were apparently on a hunting trip in a rural part of Oaxaca near the Gulf coast when they were attacked. The state prosecutors' office said they were shot in the head and found Sunday. One was 15 years old.

The motive was under investigation, but the region has been wracked by drug violence, land disputes and other feuds.

In the border city of Ciudad Juarez, meanwhile, at least nine people were killed in attacks by gunmen on two parties Sunday.

Five men were slain when gunmen burst into a house in a low-income neighborhood where a birthday party was being held and opened fire. Dozens of shells from the type of assault rifle favored by drug gangs were found at the scene.

Prosecutors said that in the other attack Sunday evening, gunmen killed three women and a man at another party. Prosecutor's spokesman Arturo Sandoval said the gunmen arrived in three vehicles, blocked off the street where the pool party was being held, and opened fire with assault rifles on a group of about 15 people.

Elsewhere in Ciudad Juarez, the bound, bullet-ridden bodies of four men were found dumped on a roadside.

Drug violence has taken more than 1,400 lives in Ciudad Juarez — and 28,000 nationwide — since the government stepped up its offensive against drug cartels in late 2006.

On Sunday, Proceso magazine published the first death-scene photos to emerge of one of the higher-profile victims: drug lord Ignacio Coronel, killed in a clash with soldiers on July 29.

The photos —Proceso did not say where it got them — show Coronel fully clothed, lying in a pool of blood and near what appears to be a pistol.

The military has been cautious about the release of such images since pictures showing drug lord Arturo Beltran Leyva with his pants down and blood-soaked money scattered over his chest emerged shortly after he was killed in a shootout with marines in December.

In weekend violence, assailants threw grenades at offices of the Televisa network in Monterrey and the border city of Matamoros. Nobody was hurt.

In the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, police reported Sunday they found the bound, burned remains of a body with a federal police badge.

Veracruz detective Ricardo Carrillo Almeida said the victim appeared to have been tortured, and authorities were working to identify him. A federal police officer was reported missing in the area several days earlier.

AMERICAN MELTDOWN - OBAMA'S BANKSTER DONORS DOIN' GOOD! SO ARE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS!

Arianna Huffington's new book, Third World America: How Our Politicians are Abandoning the Middle Class and Betraying the American Dream, paints a grim picture of the State of the Union:
"Every day, Americans, faced with layoffs and tough economic times, are forced to use their credit cards to pay for essentials such as food, housing, and medical care -- the costs of which continue to escalate. But, as their debt rises, they find it harder to keep up with their payments. When they don't, banks, trying to offset losses in other areas, turn around, hike interest rates, and impose all manner of fees and penalties..."
Third World America, (P. 77)

OBAMA AND HIS BANKSTER DONORS – AIN’T THEY DOIN’ GOOD THESE DAYS?
Shaping up to be the most corrupt
administration in American history:
• Obama’s team: Not the “best of the Washington insiders,” as the liberal media style them, but rather, a dysfunctional and dangerous conglomerate of business-as-usual cronies and hacks
• In the first two weeks alone of his infant administration, Obama had made no fewer than 17 exceptions to his “no-lobbyist” rule
• Why the fact that the massive infusion of union dues into his campaign treasury didn’t trouble him in the least reveals Obama’s credibility as a reformer
• The lack of unprecedented pace of withdrawals and botched appointments -- and how getting through the confirmation process was no guarantee of ethical cleanliness or competence, even as Obama’s cheerleaders were glorifying the Greatest Transition in World History
• Inconsistency: How Obama, erstwhile critic of the campaign finance practice known as “bundling,” happily accepted more than $350,000 in bundled contributions from billionaire hedge-fund managers
• How Obama broke his transparency pledge with the very first bill he signed into law -- helping make hostility to transparency is a running thread through Obama’s cabinet
• Michelle Obama: Beneath the cultured pearls, sleeveless designer dresses, and eyelashes applied by her full-time makeup artist, is a hardball Chicago politico
• Joe Biden: It’s not just that he lies, it’s that he lies so well that you think he really believes the stuff he makes up
• Treasury Secretary Geithner: His ineptness and epic blundering -- including how he nearly caused the collapse of the dollar in international trade with a single remark
• The appalling story of Technology Czar Vivek Kundra, the convicted shoplifter in charge of the entire federal government’s information security infrastructure
• Obama’s “Porker of the Month” Transportation Secretary, Roy LaHood: An earmark-addicted influence peddler born and raised on the politics of pay-to-play
• SEIU: Responsible for installing a cabal of hand-chosen officers who exploited their cash-infused fiefdoms for personal gain and presided over rigged elections -- in the process, becoming all that they had professed to stand against as representatives of the downtrodden worker
• How Obama lied on his “Fight the Smears” campaign website when he claimed that he “never organized with ACORN”
• ACORN: How the profound threat the group poses is not merely ideological or economic -- it’s electoral
• ACORN’s own internal review of shady money transfers among its web of affiliates: How it underscores concerns that conservatives have long raised about the organization
• Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire: How Hillary Clinton has already trampled upon her promise not to let her husband’s financial dealings sway her decisions as Secretary of State
• How even a few principled progressives are finally beginning to question the cult of Obama -- even as Obama sycophants in the mainstream media continue to celebrate his “hipness” and “swagga”

Obamanomics: How Barack Obama Is Bankrupting You and Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate Lobbyists, and Union Bosses

BY TIMOTHY P CARNEY


Editorial Reviews
Obama Is Making You Poorer—But Who’s Getting Rich?
Goldman Sachs, GE, Pfizer, the United Auto Workers—the same “special interests” Barack Obama was supposed to chase from the temple—are profiting handsomely from Obama’s Big Government policies that crush taxpayers, small businesses, and consumers. In Obamanomics, investigative reporter Timothy P. Carney digs up the dirt the mainstream media ignores and the White House wishes you wouldn’t see. Rather than Hope and Change, Obama is delivering corporate socialism to America, all while claiming he’s battling corporate America. It’s corporate welfare and regulatory robbery—it’s Obamanomics.
Congressman Ron Paul says, “Every libertarian and free-market conservative needs to read Obamanomics.” And Johan Goldberg, columnist and bestselling author says, “Obamanomics is conservative muckraking at its best and an indispensable field guide to the Obama years.”
If you’ve wondered what’s happening to America, as the federal government swallows up the financial sector, the auto industry, and healthcare, and enacts deficit exploding “stimulus packages,” this book makes it all clear—it’s a big scam. Ultimately, Obamanomics boils down to this: every time government gets bigger, somebody’s getting rich, and those somebodies are friends of Barack. This book names the names—and it will make your blood boil.

Goldman Sachs, GE, Pfizer, the United Auto Workers—the same “special interests” Barack Obama was supposed to chase from the temple—are profiting handsomely from Obama’s Big Government policies that crush taxpayers, small businesses, and consumers.
Investigative reporter Timothy P. Carney digs up the dirt the mainstream media ignores and the White House wishes you wouldn’t see. Rather than Hope and Change, Obama is delivering corporate socialism to America, all while claiming he’s battling corporate America. It’s corporate welfare and regulatory robbery—it’s Obamanomics. In this explosive book, Carney reveals:
* The Great Health Care Scam—Obama’s backroom deals with drug companies spell corporate profits and more government control
* The Global Warming Hoax—Obama has bought off industries with a pork-filled bill that will drain your wallet for Al Gore’s agenda
* Obama and Wall Street—“Change” means more bailouts and a heavy Goldman Sachs presence in the West Wing (including Rahm Emanuel)
* Stimulating K Street—The largest spending bill in history gave pork to the well-connected and created a feeding frenzy for lobbyists
* How the GOP needs to change its tune—drastically—to battle Obamanomics
If you’ve wondered what’s happening to our country, as the federal government swallows up the financial sector, the auto industry, and healthcare, and enacts deficit exploding “stimulus packages” that create make-work government jobs, this book makes it all clear—it’s a big scam. Ultimately, Obamanomics boils down to this: every time government gets bigger, somebody’s getting rich, and those somebodies are friends of Barack. This book names the names—and it will make your blood boil.

Praise for Obamanomics
“The notion that ‘big business’ is on the side of the free market is one of progressivism’s most valuable myths. It allows them to demonize corporations by day and get in bed with them by night. Obamanomics is conservative muckraking at its best. It reveals how President Obama is exploiting the big business mythology to undermine the free market and stick it to entrepreneurs, taxpayers, and consumers. It’s an indispensable field guide to the Obama years.”
—Jonha Goldberg, LA Times columnist and best-selling author
“‘Every time government gets bigger, somebody’s getting rich.’ With this astute observation, Tim Carney begins his task of laying bare the Obama administration’s corporatist governing strategy, hidden behind the president’s populist veneer. This meticulously researched book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how Washington really works.”
—David Freddoso, best-selling author of The Case Against Barack Obama
“Every libertarian and free-market conservative who still believes that large corporations are trusted allies in the battle for economic liberty needs to read this book, as does every well-meaning liberal who believes that expansions of the welfare-regulatory state are done to benefit the common people.”
—Congressman Ron Paul
“It’s understandable for critics to condemn President Obama for his ‘socialism.’ But as Tim Carney shows, the real situation is at once more subtle and more sinister. Obamanomics favors big business while disproportionately punishing everyone else. So-called progressives are too clueless to notice, as usual, which is why we have Tim Carney and this book.”
—Thomas E. Woods, Jr., best-selling author of Meltdown and The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to American History

Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies
by Michelle Malkin
Editorial Reviews
In her shocking new book, Malkin digs deep into the records of President Obama's staff, revealing corrupt dealings, questionable pasts, and abuses of power throughout his administration.
From the Inside Flap
The era of hope and change is dead....and it only took six months in office to kill it.
Never has an administration taken office with more inflated expectations of turning Washington around. Never have a media-anointed American Idol and his entourage fallen so fast and hard. In her latest investigative tour de force, New York Times bestselling author Michelle Malkin delivers a powerful, damning, and comprehensive indictment of the culture of corruption that surrounds Team Obama's brazen tax evaders, Wall Street cronies, petty crooks, slum lords, and business-as-usual influence peddlers. In Culture of Corruption, Malkin reveals:
* Why nepotism beneficiaries First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are Team Obama's biggest liberal hypocrites--bashing the corporate world and influence-peddling industries from which they and their relatives have benefited mightily
* What secrets the ethics-deficient members of Obama's cabinet--including Hillary Clinton--are trying to hide
* Why the Obama White House has more power-hungry, unaccountable "czars" than any other administration
* How Team Obama's first one hundred days of appointments became a litany of embarrassments as would-be appointee after would-be appointee was exposed as a tax cheat or had to withdraw for other reasons
* How Obama's old ACORN and union cronies have squandered millions of taxpayer dollars and dues money to enrich themselves and expand their power
* How Obama's Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists are ruining the economy and helping their friends In Culture of Corruption, Michelle Malkin lays bare the Obama administration's seamy underside that the liberal media would rather keep hidden.

Anchor Baby Power
La Voz de Aztlan has produced a video in honor of the millions of babies that have been born as US citizens to Mexican undocumented parents. These babies are destined to transform America. The nativist CNN reporter Lou Dobbs estimates that there are over 200,000 "Anchor Babies" born every year whereas George Putnam, a radio reporter, says the figure is closer to 300,000. La Voz de Aztlan believes that the number is approximately 500,000 "Anchor Babies" born every year.
The video below depicts the many faces of the "Anchor Baby Generation". The video includes a fascinating segment showing a group of elementary school children in Santa Ana, California confronting the Minutemen vigilantes. The video ends with a now famous statement by Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez of the University of Texas at Austin.

"This is country belongs to Mexico" is said by the Mexican Militant. This is a common teaching that the U.S. is really AZTLAN, belonging to Mexicans, which is taught to Mexican kids in Arizona and California through a LA Raza educational program funded by American Tax Payers via President Obama, when he gave LA RAZA $800,000.00 in March of 2009!

SANCTUARY COUNTY LOS ANGELES SPENDS $600 MILLION ON WELFARE FOR ILLEGALS
County Spends $600 Mil On Welfare For Illegal Immigrants
Last Updated: Thu, 03/11/2010 - 3:14pm
For the second consecutive year taxpayers in a single U.S. county will dish out more than half a billion dollars just to cover the welfare and food-stamp costs of illegal immigrants.
Los Angeles County, the nation’s most populous, may be in the midst of a dire financial crisis but somehow there are plenty of funds for illegal aliens. In January alone, anchor babies born to the county’s illegal immigrants collected more than $50 million in welfare benefits. At that rate the cash-strapped county will pay around $600 million this year to provide illegal aliens’ offspring with food stamps and other welfare perks.

THE EXORBITANT FIGURE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ENORMOUS COST OF EDUCATING, MEDICALLY TREATING, OR INCARCERATING ILLEGALS ALIENS. THIS COSTS THE COUNTY AN ADDITIONAL ONE BILLION DOLLARS.

The exorbitant figure, revealed this week by a county supervisor, doesn’t even include the enormous cost of educating, medically treating or incarcerating illegal aliens in the sprawling county of about 10 million residents. Los Angeles County annually spends more than $1 billion for those combined services, including $500 million for healthcare and $350 million for public safety.
About a quarter of the county’s welfare and food stamp issuances go to parents who reside in the United States illegally and collect benefits for their anchor babies, according to the figures from the county’s Department of Social Services. In 2009 the tab ran $570 million and this year’s figure is expected to increase by several million dollars.
Illegal immigration continues to have a “catastrophic impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” the veteran county supervisor (Michael Antonovich) who revealed the information has said. The former fifth-grade history teacher has repeatedly come under fire from his liberal counterparts for publicizing statistics that confirm the devastation illegal immigration has had on the region. Antonovich, who has served on the board for nearly three decades, represents a portion of the county that is roughly twice the size of Rhode Island and has about 2 million residents.
His district is simply a snippet of a larger crisis. Nationwide, Americans pay around $22 billion annually to provide illegal immigrants with welfare benefits that include food assistance programs such as free school lunches in public schools, food stamps and a nutritional program (known as WIC) for low-income women and their children. Tens of billions more are spent on other social services, medical care, public education and legal costs such as incarceration and public defenders.

Anchor Babies Grab One Quarter of Welfare Dollars in LA Co

The anchor baby scam has proven lucrative for illegal aliens in Los Angeles County, at considerable cost to our own poor and downtrodden legal citizenry.

The numbers show that more than $50 million in CalWORKS benefits and food stamps for January went to children born in the United States whose parents are in the country without documentation. This represents approximately 23 percent of the total benefits under the state welfare and food stamp programs, Antonovich said.

"When you add this to $350 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for health care, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year -- not including the millions of dollars for education," Antonovich said.

I love children and I'm all for compassion -- smart, teach-them-to-fish compassion. But when laws, the Constitution, and enforcement allow illegal aliens (the operative word here being "illegal") to insinuate themselves into our nation and bleed us of our precious financial resources, then laws, the Constitution and enforcement need to be changed.
