WHERE’S
THE REAL RACISM?
“In Mexico, a recent Zogby poll declared
that the vast majority of Mexican citizens hate Americans. [22.2] Mexico is a
country saturated with racism, yet in denial, having never endured the social
development of a Civil Rights movement like in the US--Blacks are harshly
treated while foreign Whites are often seen as the enemy. [22.3] In fact,
racism as workplace discrimination can be seen across the US anywhere the
illegal alien Latino works--the vast majority of the workforce is usually
strictly Latino, excluding Blacks, Whites, Asians, and others.”

Justice
Department planning to sue Arizona sheriff Arpaio over alleged racial profiling

PHOENIX
– Federal authorities said Wednesday they plan to sue an Arizona county sheriff
and his office over allegations of civil rights violations, including the
racial profiling of Hispanics.
The U.S. Justice Department has been seeking
an agreement requiring sheriff Joe Arpaio office to train officers in how to
make constitutional traffic stops, collect data on people arrested in traffic
stops and reach out to Hispanics to assure them that the department is there to
also protect them.
Arpaio has denied the racial profiling
allegations and has claimed that allowing a court monitor would mean that every
policy decision would have to be cleared through an observer and would nullify
his authority.
DOJ officials told a lawyer for Arpaio on
April 3 that the lawman's refusal of a court-appointed monitor was a
deal-breaker that would end settlement negotiations and result in a federal
lawsuit.
The "notice of intent to file civil
action" came Wednesday from Assistant U.S. Attorney General Thomas Perez
in a letter to an Arpaio lawyer.
Perez, who heads the DOJ's civil rights
division, noted that it's been more than 100 days since the sheriff's office
received the DOJ's findings report and federal authorities haven't met with the
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office counsel since Feb. 6 to discuss the terms of a
consent agreement.
At a news conference Wednesday afternoon,
Arpaio defended himself in the face of the pending lawsuit.
"If they sue, we'll go to court. And
then we'll find out the real story," he said. "There's lots of miscommunication
emanating from Washington. They broke off communications.
"They're telling me how to run my
organization. I'd like to get this resolved, but I'm not going to give up my
authority to the federal government. It's as simple as that," Arpaio
added.
Last December, the DOJ released a scathing
report accusing Arpaio's office of racially profiling Latinos, basing
immigration enforcement on racially charged citizen complaints and punishing
Hispanic jail inmates for speaking Spanish in Arizona's most populous county.
The DOJ also accused Arpaio of having a
culture of disregard for basic constitutional rights.
The civil rights allegations have led some
Arpaio critics to call for his resignation, including the National Council of
La Raza, a prominent advocacy group for Latinos.
The sheriff's office also is facing criticism
over more than 400 sex-crimes investigations -- including dozens of alleged
child molestations -- that hadn't been investigated adequately or weren't
examined at all over a three-year period ending in 2007.
Arpaio has apologized for the botched cases,
reopened 432 sex-crimes investigations and made 19 arrests.
Separate from the civil rights probe, a
federal grand jury has been investigating Arpaio's office on criminal
abuse-of-power allegations since at least December 2009. That grand jury is
examining the investigative work of the sheriff's anti-public corruption squad.
The self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in
America has been a national political fixture who has built his reputation on
jailing inmates in tents and dressing them in pink underwear, selling himself
to voters as unceasingly tough on crime and pushing the bounds of how far local
police can go to confront illegal immigration.

JUDICIAL WATCH.... get on their free emails
Obama Administration
Hostile to Illegal Immigration EnforcementThe Obama administration is once again undermining the enforcement of our nation's immigration laws.
Last week I told you about the administration's attempts to undermine 287(g), a highly successful federal program that trains local law enforcement officers in illegal immigration enforcement techniques. Well, this week, two stories hit the press that show just how far the administration is willing to go to protect illegal alien criminals and punish law enforcement officers who are simply doing their jobs.
First, as reported by The Associated Press, the Obama administration is taking another swipe at one of its favorite bogeymen, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known as "America's toughest Sheriff" for his no-nonsense approach to enforcing the law, including laws against illegal immigration. Here's the scoop:
An Arizona sheriff known for aggressively cracking down on illegal immigration has been stripped of some of his special power to enforce federal immigration law, and he claims the Obama administration is taking away his authority for political reasons.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose office faces racial profiling allegations over crime and immigration sweeps in some heavily Latino areas of metro Phoenix, said officials from Washington won't let him renew a deal that let his deputies make federal immigration arrests.
Make no mistake. This move by the Obama administration is a strong message to local police departments: "If you seek to enforce immigration laws, we will strip you of your power." When taken in context with the "reforms" to 287(g) that we discussed last week, it is clear the administration is intent on not only undermining, but completely dismantling the 287(g) program and any effort by local law enforcement officers to assist the relatively small cadre of federal agents responsible for enforcing immigration laws.
(By the way, you may recall Judicial Watch Director of Research and Investigations Chris Farrell led a congressional delegation to Arizona in July to assess the situation at the nation's southern border. This included a tour of Sheriff Arpaio's "Tent City Jail." Click here for more information.)
The good news is Sheriff Arpaio won't back down and will continue to enforce the law.
But the attack on 287(g) and the good sheriff is not the only tactic by this administration to undermine the rule of law. The Wall Street Journal reported this nugget earlier in the week:
The Obama administration is expected on Tuesday to unveil an outline of sweeping changes for the nation's immigration-detention system, saying it will decide whom to lock up and for how long based on the danger and flight risk posed by detainees...
...Until now, the Obama administration has been reluctant to revise detention standards, which were updated late in the administration of former President George W. Bush. The immigration detention system expanded dramatically during the Bush years as the government took a much tougher line against illegal immigrants.
The Obama administration's reforms include the construction of new and improved detention facilities, increased medical care, improved "custodial conditions" and a new "classification system" for illegal alien detainees. (The Obama administration believes holding illegal aliens who are marked for deportation in jail cells is cruel and unusual punishment. One proposed reform suggests putting them up in hotels and nursing homes instead!)
Leftists and their media allies have systematically been attacking the current detention system for the last two years. They are seemingly opposed to any detention system (hence, the Obama administration's emphasis on getting alien criminals out of jail).
The fact is many of the illegal aliens being "detained" in jails are simply awaiting deportation after having served time for other crimes, including crimes of violence. The federal government reimburses localities for jailing these bad guys. Certainly makes sense from a public safety perspective.
Of course, the whole idea of the Obama plan is to bring the entire system under federal control, which apparently means more money and less enforcement. Signs point to expensive "Club Feds" for illegal alien criminals.
So the twofer from the Obama administration this week is this: don't arrest illegal aliens and coddle them if they are arrested.
And so the illegal alien crisis will continue.

Arizona's Tough Employer Sanction Law Not
Enforced
10/13/2009 -
Nearly
two years after Arizona enacted the nation’s toughest law against those who
hire illegal immigrants no businesses have been prosecuted even though the
state is estimated to have nearly half a million undocumented workers.
The landmark
measure allows the state to severely punish—even revoke the license—of
businesses caught hiring illegal aliens and requires them to verify workers’
legal status. The law caused a ruckus among business owners and so-called
Latino rights groups that claim racial discrimination, but has survived several legal challenges at the state and federal level.
The problem, however, is that no employers have been
punished because the sanctions law is virtually impossible to enforce. For
starters, it doesn’t give county prosecutors charged with pursuing violators
civil subpoena power to examine personnel records that could help prove illegal
aliens were knowingly hired.
This sort of subpoena power is granted to other administrative
agencies that enforce similar statutes, the frustrated prosecutors in Arizona’s
15 counties say. Without it, authorities are forced to rely on the voluntary
disclosure of crucial personnel records by the very businesses being
investigated. Not surprisingly, all the accused have opted not to
cooperate.
As a result dozens of investigations throughout the state have
been shut because authorities can’t access crucial data that could prove
wrongdoing. In Yavapai County for instance, crippled investigators have been
forced to close 20 of their 23 probes into businesses that they say employ
illegal immigrants.
In Maricopa County, Arizona’s largest, none of the 22 businesses
that have been caught hiring illegal aliens have been punished, even though
more than 300 employees have been arrested for identity theft and using fake
identification to work. In most of those cases the sheriff’s department
obtained warrants to raid the companies because criminal wrongdoing, such as
identity theft, was alleged.

Deported Illegal
Immigrants Witnesses In Federal Probe
Last Updated: Fri, 09/04/2009 - 3:28pm
The Department of Justice is
actually bringing deported illegal aliens back to the U.S. to be witnesses in a
civil rights investigation of an Arizona sheriff’s department that enforces
immigration law through a federal partnership.
It’s hardly the first time that
the federal agency charged with defending the nation’s interests and ensuring
its safety pulls this sort of stunt. In its quest to prosecute two Border
Patrol gents who intercepted a Mexican drug smuggler in 2005, the Justice
Department actually went to Mexico and offered the drug dealer immunity to
testify against the veteran agents.
The agents (Ignacio Ramos and
Jose Campean) were subsequently convicted on charges of causing serious bodily
injury, assault with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm and violating the
drug smuggler's civil rights. The supposed victim and key witness was the Mexican illegal alien whose vehicle was intercepted with 743 pounds of
U.S.-bound marijuana.
This week a Phoenix newspaper
reports that the feds are at it again, using illegal immigrant violators as key witnesses in another high-profile case. It
involves allegations of discrimination and unconstitutional searches and
seizures on the part of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department and its
elected leader Joe Arpaio. The feds are interviewing Hispanics who were
arrested by the sheriff’s department, including those who were deported and
have been brought back to the U.S. to testify.
The federal probe was requested by Phoenix Mayor Phil
Gordon, an open borders advocate who offers illegal aliens sanctuary in his
city. In a letter to the Justice
Department last spring, Mayor Gordon demanded that the agency investigate “discriminatory harassment” and “improper” stops, searches and arrests by Maricopa
County sheriff’s deputies who patrol the metropolitan area.
The Justice Department gladly
obliged and proudly announced its civil rights investigation a few months ago,
vowing to focus on whether deputies are engaging in racial profiling during
immigration crackdowns. The sweeps have helped rid the area of numerous illegal
aliens—some violent criminals who fell through the cracks—who should have been
deported long ago and helped restore much-needed law and order in a Phoenix
business district (36th & Thomas) rife with solicitation, trespassing,
loitering and public health ordinance violations.

LA RAZA MEXICAN KIDNAPPING CAPITAL of AMERICA
Kidnapping Capital of the U.S.A.
Washington Too Concerned With al Qaeda Terrorists to Care, Officials
Say
By BRIAN ROSS, RICHARD ESPOSITO and ASA ESLOCKER
February 11, 2009
In what officials caution is now a dangerous and even deadly crime
wave, Phoenix, Arizona has become the kidnapping capital of America, with more
incidents than any other city in the world outside of Mexico City and over 370
cases last year alone. But local authorities say Washington, DC is too
obsessed with al Qaeda terrorists to care about what is happening in their own
backyard right now.
Wave of abductions hit Phoenix. Is Washington paying enough
attention?
"We're in the
eye of the storm," Phoenix Police Chief Andy Anderson told ABC News of the
violent crimes and ruthless tactics spurred by Mexico's drug cartels that have
expanded business across the border. "If it doesn't stop here, if
we're not able to fix it here and get it turned around, it will go across the
nation," he said.
California Attorney General Jerry Brown warned that as the
U.S. government focuses so intently on Islamic extremist groups, other types of
terrorists – those involved with the same kidnappings, extortion and drug
cartels that are sweeping Phoenix – are overlooked. (LA

"Those
[criminals], for the average Californian or the average America, may be a more
immediate threat to their well being," Brown said.
In fact, kidnappings and other crimes
connected to the Mexican drug cartels are quickly spreading across the border,
from Texas to California. The majority of the victims are either illegal aliens
or connected to the drug trade.
An ABC News'
investigation uncovered horrific cases of chopped-off hands, legs and heads
when a victim's family doesn't pay up fast enough.
"They're ruthless, so now they're ripping each other
off, but doing it in our city," Anderson said.
To try and combat the
crime wave, the Phoenix police have created a special unit to handle the
kidnappings called the Home Invasion Task Force, which has pulled more than a
dozen officers off other assignments. The crimes are occurring across the
valley and in all types of neighborhoods, authorities warn.

It won't have been covered by the Washington Post, but on Saturday, a
rancher in Arizona, by the name of Robert Krentz was out checking his herd. He
came across an illegal alien, who claimed to be injured. Krentz offered to help
him, and contacted his brother on his cell phone, asking him to phone for an
ambulance, and gave him his location. The illegal alien shot and killed Krentz,
as well as his dog.
In that area of Arizona, near Douglas, it's been reported that since the talks of amnesty starting up again, more illegals have been heading over the border. Obama has gutted the budget for the increases in border patrol agents that were promised, and he has also gutted the funding for a border fence. Janet Napolitano claims our border is secure. The blood of Robert Krentz is on Napolitano's, Obama's, McCain's Reid's and every other amnesty proponent's hands. Krentz's wife and children have lost a husband and father.
We need to stop providing birthright citizenship to the children of illegals, we need to start deporting illegals, and construct a physical barrier at the border. This insanity has to end.

Robert Krentz killing stokes fears of rampant illegal immigration
Speculation
that the murder of Arizona rancher Robert Krentz is tied to illegal immigration
has sparked calls for Homeland Security to send in the National Guard.
Ed Ashurst, a neighbor and friend of Robert Krentz, worked on his Bisbee, Ariz., ranch Monday. Mr. Krentz's body was found on his property near the Mexican border Saturday. The murder has stirred unease in Arizona about illegal immigration after law enforcement officials tracked footprints from the crime scene back to the border.
(Mamta Popat/AP/Arizona Daily Star)
Los Angeles —
The
killing of Arizona rancher Robert Krentz has prompted the state’s governor, its
most influential senator, and its farming community to say that Washington is
not doing enough to prevent illegal immigration and secure the border with
Mexico.
Mr.
Krentz was found Saturday, fatally shot and slumped over in his all-terrain
vehicle, which still had its lights and engine on. Law enforcement officials
tracked footprints from the scene back to the border, raising speculation that
the killer is an illegal immigrant.
The
apparent murder heightens the tension surrounding the immigration reform
debate, with advocates of much stricter immigration controls saying Krentz's
death highlights the urgent need for significantly increased border security.
Already,
Krentz’s death is being held up as evidence that border violence is spiraling out of control as the Obama administration mulls immigration reform that could include a path to citizenship for some illegal
immigrants in the United States.
“It’s
scary,” says Dawn Garner, a teacher and yoga instructor whose small ranch abuts
the border near Naco, Ariz., just miles from Krentz’s ranch. She says she
counts “at least 12” immigrants crossing her property every day.
“It’s
become Grand Central Station out here since the Obama administration began
talking about comprehensive reform,” says Ms. Garner, whose daughter knows
Krentz’s son. “They’re all trying to get up here quickly so they can be inside
the country when amnesty – or whatever they want to call it – is announced.”
Since
Saturday, Gov. Jan Brewer (D) and Sen. John McCain (R) have called on the Department of Homeland Security to deploy the National Guard
to the Arizona border. The Arizona Farm Bureau added: “Until Congress addresses
securing the border, all necessary resources should be focused on Arizona's
border.”
Authorities
have not announced any motive for the killing, nor have they officially
suggested that the killer was an illegal immigrant.
For
his part, Krentz was well known in the area as a rancher who was kind to
illegal immigrants he found on his property, despite having been robbed by them
once. “You know, if they come in and ask for water, I'll still give them
water," he told PBS's "Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly" in
1999. “You know, that's just my nature."
Krentz’s
brother, however, had called border patrol agents the day before the killing.
The agents stopped a caravan of illegal immigrants carrying 280 pounds of
marijuana, raising the possibility of the crime being retaliation.
Experts
caution that authorities must understand what happened before conclusions
should be drawn.
“An
important question to ask is whether the killing of Robert Krentz is more an
aberration than the norm at the Arizona border,” says Catherine Wilson, an
immigration analyst at Villanova University in Philadelphia. “Did the immigrant
responsible for Krentz’s death have ties to the drug-trafficking trade? Will we
be seeing more violence at the border due to the heightening of drug-related
crime in northern Mexico?”
Advocates
for immigrants say Krentz’s death is less an issue of illegal immigration than
of the increasing lawlessness in the border areas of Mexico, which affects
American citizens and immigrants alike.
“It
took the life of a Caucasian rancher, an innocent soul, to garner the attention
of the violence on the border,” says Angelica Salas, director of the Coalition
for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA). “Countless individuals
have been murdered at the border during the crossing by ... criminals and their
sophisticated networks.”
“Without
legal channels for entry into the US, without reform, those who control the
border are violent criminals, and the victims are innocent people, including
the undocumented, who are raped, injured, and killed,” she adds.

percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009.
The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans otherwise would hold.

crackdown on tax fraud; new scrutiny may affect migrants most Posted: Monday, April 11, 2011 12:00 am |
PHOENIX - Armed with a new computer program, the Arizona Department of Revenue is cracking down on tax fraud this year.
And although administrators say illegal immigrants aren't the target, they're likely to be the majority of those caught up in the effort.
People whose federal tax-identification numbers doesn't match the information provided on their W-2 forms will not get their refunds unless they can prove they are the ones who did the work.
The state and the Internal Revenue Service encourage illegal immigrants to file income-tax forms and comply with tax laws, which apply to individuals who earn money in the United States regardless of their legal status.
In Arizona, where it's a crime to knowingly hire an illegal immigrant, an immigrant will often work using either a fake Social Security number or one that belongs to someone else. Their employer puts that Social Security number on his or her W-2 form.
For tax filing, illegal immigrants - or anyone in the United States legally who isn't eligible for a Social Security number - must apply to the IRS for an Individual Tax Identification Number. They then file taxes under that number.
The Arizona Department of Revenue's new program will check all tax documents filed with tax ID numbers to make sure any listed Social Security number and the tax ID number both belong to the employee named.
If they don't, the state will send out a letter asking the employee to prove he or she is the one who actually did the work.
Anthony Forschino, assistant director at the Department of Revenue, said about 60,000 Arizona residents filed taxes last year using a tax ID number, resulting in about $6 million in refunds.
He said the state sampled a "pretty good portion" of those returns and found that in 80 to 85 percent of them, the ID number did not match information provided on an associated W-2.
This year, the new program will allow the state to go through all the returns.
"We have a responsibility to try and stop fraudulent returns," Forschino said. Forschino said officials want to give refunds to those who earned them, regardless of legal status.
He said his department is still trying to work out details of what sort of documentation an individual could show to prove he or she is the one who did the work and paid the taxes.

EVERY DAY THERE ARE 12 AMERICAN MURDERED BY ILLEGALS, AND BILLIONS PAID
OUT IN SOCIAL SERVICES/WELFARE TO THE SAME.NEW YORK TIMES
February 26, 2009
U.S. Is
Arms Bazaar for Mexican Cartels
By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr.
PHOENIX — The Mexican
agents who moved in on a safe house full of drug dealers last May were not
prepared for the fire power that greeted them.
When the shooting was
over, eight agents were dead. Among the guns the police recovered was an
assault rifle traced back across the border to a dingy gun store here called
X-Caliber Guns.
Now, the owner, George
Iknadosian, will go on trial on charges he sold hundreds of weapons, mostly
AK-47 rifles, to smugglers, knowing they would send them to a drug
cartel in the western state of Sinaloa.
The guns helped fuel the gang warfare in which more than 6,000 Mexicans died
last year.
Mexican authorities
have long complained that American gun dealers are arming the cartels. This
case is the most prominent prosecution of an American gun dealer since the
United States promised Mexico two years ago it would clamp down on the smuggling of
weapons across the border. It also offers a rare glimpse of how weapons
delivered to American gun dealers are being moved into Mexico and wielded in
horrific crimes.
“We had a direct
pipeline from Iknadosian to the Sinaloa cartel,”said Thomas G. Mangan, a
spokesman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Phoenix.
Drug gangs seek out
guns in the United States because the gun-control laws are far tougher in
Mexico. Mexican civilians must get approval from the military to buy guns and
they cannot own large-caliber rifles or high-powered pistols, which are
considered military weapons.
The ease with which Mr.
Iknadosian and two other men transported weapons to Mexico over a two-year
period illustrates just how difficult it is to stop the illicit trade, law
enforcement officials here say.
The gun laws in the
United States allow the sale of multiple military-style rifles to American
citizens without reporting the sales to the government, and the Mexicans search
relatively few cars and trucks going south across their border.
What is more, the sheer
volume of licensed dealers — more than 6,600 along the border alone, many of
them operating out of their houses —makes policing them a tall order. Currently
the A.T.F. has about 200 agents assigned to the task.
Smugglers routinely
enlist Americans with clean criminal records to buy two or three rifles at a
time, often from different shops, then transport them across the border in cars
and trucks, often secreting them in door panels or under the hood, law
enforcement officials here say. Some of the smuggled weapons are also bought
from private individuals at gun shows, and the law requires no notification of
the authorities in those cases.
“We can move against
the most outrageous purveyors of arms to Mexico, but the characteristic of the
arms trade is it’s a ‘parade of ants’ —it’s not any one big dealer, it’s lots
of individuals,” said Arizona’s attorney general, Terry Goddard, who is
prosecuting Mr. Iknadosian. “That makes it very hard to detect because it’s
often below the radar.”
The Mexican government
began to clamp down on drug cartels in late 2006, unleashing a war that daily
deposits dozens of bodies — often gruesomely tortured — on Mexico’s streets.
President Felipe
Calderón has characterized the stream of
smuggled weapons as one of the most significant threats to security in his
country. The Mexican authorities say they seized 20,000 weapons from drug gangs
in 2008, the majority bought in the United States.
The authorities in the
United States say they do not know how many firearms are transported across the
border each year, in part because the federal government does not track gun
sales and traces only weapons used in crimes. But A.T.F. officials estimate 90
percent of the weapons recovered in Mexico come from dealers north of the
border.
In 2007, the firearms
agency traced 2,400 weapons seized in Mexico back to dealers in the United
States, and 1,800 of those came from dealers operating in the four states along
the border, with Texas first, followed by California, Arizona and New Mexico.
Mr. Iknadosian is
accused of being one of those dealers. So brazen was his operation that the
smugglers paid him in advance for the guns and the straw buyers merely filled
out the required paperwork and carried the weapons off, according to A.T.F.
investigative reports. The agency said Mr. Iknadosian also sold several guns to
undercover agents who had explicitly informed him that they intended to resell
them in Mexico.
Mr. Iknadosian, 47,
will face trial on March 3 on charges including fraud, conspiracy and assisting
a criminal syndicate. His lawyer, Thomas M. Baker, declined to comment on the
charges, but said Mr. Iknadosian maintained his innocence. No one answered the
telephone at Mr. Iknadosian’s home in Glendale, Ariz.
A native of Egypt who
spent much of his life in California, Mr. Iknadosian moved his gun-selling
operation to Arizona in 2004, because the gun laws were more lenient,
prosecutors said.
Over the two years
leading up to his arrest last May, he sold more than 700 weapons of the kind
currently sought by drug dealers in Mexico, including 515 AK-47 rifles and one
.50 caliber rifle that can penetrate an engine block or bulletproof glass, the
A.T.F. said.
Based on the store’s
records and the statements of some defendants, investigators estimate at least
600 of those weapons were smuggled to Mexico. So far, the Mexican authorities
have seized seven of the Kalashnikov-style rifles from gunmen for the Beltrán
Leyva cartel who had battled with the police.
The store was also said
to be the source for a Colt .38-caliber pistol stuck in the belt of a reputed
drug kingpin, Alfredo Beltrán Leyva, when he was arrested a year ago in the
Sinaloan town of Culiacán. Also linked to the store was a diamond-studded
handgun carried by another reputed mobster, Hugo David Castro, known as El
Once, who was arrested in November on charges he took part in killing a state
police chief in Sonora.
According to reports by
A.T.F. investigators, Mr. Iknadosian sold more than 60 assault rifles in late
2007 and early 2008 to straw buyers working for two brothers — Hugo Miguel
Gamez, 26, and Cesar Bojorguez Gamez, 27 — who then smuggled them into Mexico.
The brothers instructed
the buyers to show up at X-Caliber Guns and to tell Mr. Iknadosian they were
there to pick up guns for “Cesar” or “C,”the A.T.F. said. Mr. Iknadosian then
helped the buyers fill out the required federal form, called the F.B.I. to check their
records and handed over the rifles. The straw buyers would then meet one of the
brothers to deliver the merchandise. They were paid $100 a gun.
The Gamez brothers have
pleaded guilty to a count of attempted fraud. Seven of the buyers arrested last
May have pleaded guilty to lesser charges and have agreed to testify against
Mr. Iknadosian, prosecutors said.
In one transaction, Mr.
Iknadosian gave advice about how to buy weapons and smuggle them to a person
who turned out to be an informant who was recording him, according to a
transcript. He told the informant to break the sales up into batches and never
to carry more than two weapons in a car.
“If you got pulled
over, two is no biggie,” Mr. Iknadosian is quoted as saying in the transcript.
“Four is a question. Fifteen is, ‘What are you doing?’ ”

Arizona Bill Cracks
Down on Illegal Immigration
Frustrated
with the federal government’s failure to secure the border and combat illegal
immigration, Arizona lawmakers passed one of the toughest immigration
enforcement laws in the nation last week. Entitled the “Support Our Law
Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act,” SB 1070 passed the Arizona House on a
35-21 party-line vote last Tuesday after clearing the Senate in February. (FOX News, April 14,
2010). Governor Jan Brewer, who has argued for stringent
immigration laws, is expected to sign the bill into law. (The Wall Street
Journal,
April 14, 2010).
SB
1070 gives Arizona law enforcement important tools to help fight illegal
immigration. During lawful contact between an officer and an individual, the
bill directs state and local officers to inquire into the immigration status of
anyone who they reasonably suspect is in the country illegally. Under
current law, officers can only inquire about someone’s immigration status if
the person is suspected of another crime. (Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2010).
Additionally, foreign nationals who fail to comply with federal laws that
require them to carry proof of legal residency will be guilty of a state
misdemeanor. (The Wall Street
Journal,
April 14, 2010). Arizona is the first state to make it a crime not to
carry such documents. The bill also:
- Allows law enforcement officers
to arrest aliens unable to provide documents showing they’re legally in
the U.S.
- Prohibits local police
agencies from adopting “sanctuary” policies that prevent law enforcement
officers from checking the immigration status of people they stop or arrest.
- Makes it unlawful for a
day laborer to solicit work in a public place.
- Prohibits would-be
employers from blocking traffic when hiring laborers.
- Allows citizens to sue
police agencies who do not comply with the law and government agencies
that adopt policies that hinder the enforcement of immigration laws.
- Make it illegal for
people to transport illegal aliens if the driver knows or recklessly
disregards that the passengers are here illegally.
Amnesty
forces are enraged by the new law, which they claim is fueled by
“anti-immigrant hysteria.” (AZFamily News, April 13, 2010).
Some went even further in their criticism, relying on hollow cries of racism to
attack the enforcement measure. Chris Newman, legal director of the
National Day Laborer Organizing Network, said, “Arizona has long been a
laboratory for anti-immigrant experimentation, and its demagogue leaders have
become folk heroes for white supremacists throughout the United States.”
(The Associated
Press,
April 14, 2010).
However, Arizona State
Senator Russell Pearce (R-Mesa), the bill’s sponsor, counters that law-abiding
immigrants are not his target, “It’s the drug cartels, gang members.” Id. Arizona
is directly in the crossfire of the violent drug wars waging in Mexico and the
state is the most popular point of entry for illegal aliens who come into the
United States. (Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2010). Rep. John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills), a co-sponsor
of the bill, stated, “Illegal immigration brings crime, kidnapping, drugs –
drains our government services. Nobody can stand on the sidelines and not
take part in this battle.” Id. Kavanagh said the
legislation “gives our local police officers the tools they need to combat
illegal immigration, while protecting the civil rights of citizens and legal
residents.” (The Wall Street Journal, April 14, 2010). The
legislation is especially timely in light of the escalating violence along
Arizona’s border with Mexico and the recent gunning down of a rancher and his
dog by a suspected illegal alien. (See FAIR’s Legislative Update, April 12, 2010; Legislative Update, April 5, 2010).
Perhaps
the most outrageous claim amnesty advocates have made about SB 1070 is that it
“mandates racial profiling of Latinos.” (Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2010).
Pearce, a former cop known as a true immigration reformer, has heard this
accusation before, and explains that the bill explicitly states officers “may
not solely consider race, color or national origin” in forming a reasonable
suspicion. (Arizona SB 1070). “You have to have
lawful contact, reason to believe, and then can only arrest based on probable
cause,” says Pearce. (AZFamily News, April 13, 2010). The
bill simply “takes the handcuffs off of law enforcement and lets them do their
job.” (Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2010).
Police agencies are split over the bill; the Arizona Association of Chiefs of
Police – made up of police chiefs who are politically appointed – is against
it, while police unions support it. (KPHO Phoenix, April 15, 2010). Maricopa County
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known for his aggressive enforcement of immigration laws,
supports it, “Anybody we come across that is here illegally, pursuant to this
new law especially, they’re going to jail.” Id.
The
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other groups have already pledged to
sue to block the bill from taking effect if Governor Brewer signs it into
law. (Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2010).
According to these special interest groups, only the federal government has the
authority to enforce immigration laws. Id. But these
arguments ignore the fact that other state laws (with which FAIR and its legal
affiliate IRLI have assisted), including Arizona’s 2008 law mandating the use
of E-Verify, have withstood legal scrutiny. Through
the enactment of this legislation, Arizona lawmakers are sending a clear
message that they will not wait any longer for the federal government to take
action. Speaker of the Arizona House Kirk Adams observed, “This is
not a comprehensive solution. That’s not going to occur until the federal
government takes up its responsibility to protect Arizona. But that
doesn’t mean we should wait until then.” (The New York Times, April 14, 2010).

Nationally,
60% Favor Letting Local Police Stop and Verify Immigration Status
Monday,
April 26, 2010
Arizona
Governor Jan Brewer last week signed a new law into effect that authorizes
local police to stop and verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect
of being an illegal immigrant. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds
that 60% of voters nationwide favor such a law, while 31% are opposed.
Seventy-seven
percent (77%) of Republicans support the law along with 62% of voters not
affiliated with either major party. Democratic voters are evenly divided on the
measure.
At
the same time, however, 58% of all voters are at least somewhat concerned that
“efforts to identify and deport illegal immigrants will also end up violating
the civil rights of some U.S. citizens.” That figure includes 29% who are Very
Concerned about possible civil rights violations.
Voter
support for empowering local police comes at a time when most voters (56%)
believe it is unlikely Congress will take action to gain control of the border.
Only 31% say Congress is even somewhat likely to take such an action. That
figure includes just 10% who believe Congress is Very Likely to act.
President
Obama has denounced the Arizona law, and he and other critics of the measure
see it as an incentive to push new national immigration reform legislation to
supersede it.
Not
surprisingly, support for the law authorizing local police to arrest illegal
immigrants is a bit higher in Arizona than it is nationwide. As one of the
states most impacted by illegal immigration, 70% of voters statewide favor the new law.
Brewer
signed the new law in the midst of a tough Republican Primary campaign. She
antagonized many Republicans early on by supporting a statewide tax increase.
More recently, she has pleased many voters by finding a way for the state to
sue the federal government over the new health care reform law. Eighty-three
percent (83%) of Arizona voters say a candidate's
position on immigration is an important factor in how they will vote, including 51%
who say it’s very important.
The
measure is also having an impact on this year’s Arizona Senate race. Senator
John McCain, who narrowly leads conservative challenger J.D. Hayworth in Arizona’s hotly
contested GOP Senate Primary race, has come out strongly in support of the new
law.
Democratic
strategist Susan Estrich notes that “the federal government is supposed to
secure the border. Its failure to do so effectively … invites measures like
Arizona's. … In the final analysis, the greatest threat to the rule of law is
the lawlessness that leaves both desperate immigrants and desperate citizens
vulnerable and afraid.”
This
national telephone survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on April 22 and
23, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage
points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports
surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion
Research, LLC. See methodology.
The new survey results are consistent with findings
conducted over many years. Three-out-of-four voters believe that the
federal government is not doing enough to secure the nation’s borders. In fact, 56% believe
that the policies of the federal government encourage illegal immigration. Among voters
who are angry about immigration, 83% are angry
at the federal government. Only 12% direct their anger at the
immigrants
The
biggest point of disconnect between voters and the conventional wisdom in
Washington, D.C. has to do with priorities. Almost always in Washington, the
debate begins with a focus on how to address the status of illegal immigrants.
To voters, that is a secondary concern. Controlling the borders is the top
concern. That hasn’t changes since the 2006
immigration legislation collapsed when the U.S. Senate surrendered to public
opinion. During that debate, a New York
Times/CBS poll found that 69% believed illegal immigrants should be prosecuted
and deported.
Other
surveys have found that 73% of voters
want cops to check the immigration status of all offenders during traffic stops. Sixty-seven
percent (67%) also say that if law enforcement officers know of places where
immigrants gather to find work, they should sometimes conduct surprise raids to
identify and deport those who are here illegally.
Sixty-eight
percent (68%) of voters
nationwide say that those who knowingly hire illegal immigrants should be
punished. By a 48% to 36% margin, voters say the same about
landlords who rent to illegal immigrants. Additionally, 77% of voters
nationwide oppose drivers’ licenses for undocumented immigrants. That topic
tripped up Hillary Clinton in a debate during the race for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
Joe Arpaio, the
sheriff of Maricopa County in Arizona, created a national controversy by
aggressively enforcing national immigration laws. While his efforts prompted a
U.S. Justice Department civil rights investigation, the sheriff remains popular
in his home state. Most Arizona voters not only support his policies, but 58% say he has
been good for the state’s image. On a personal basis, Arpaio is viewed
favorably by 68% of Arizona voters.

Immigration
advocacy groups to challenge Arizona law
By
Jonathan J. Cooper and Paul Davenport
Sunday, April 25, 2010; A08
Sunday, April 25, 2010; A08
PHOENIX
-- Arizona's governor is vowing that the state's tough new law targeting
illegal immigration
will be implemented with no tolerance for racial profiling, but at least two
advocacy groups are preparing legal challenges and Mexico is warning that the
law could affect cross-border relations.
Gov. Jan Brewer (R) on Friday signed into
law a bill that supporters said would take handcuffs off police in dealing with
illegal immigration in Arizona, the nation's busiest gateway for human and drug
smuggling from Mexico and home to an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants.
The
law requires police to question people about their immigration status --
including asking for identification -- if they suspect that someone is in the
country illegally. It has sparked fears among legal immigrants and U.S.
citizens that they will be hassled by police because they look Hispanic.
The
Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund said it plans to challenge
the law, which it said "launches Arizona into a spiral of pervasive fear,
community distrust, increased crime and costly litigation, with nationwide
repercussions."
CATHOLIC
AND MEXICAN CHURCHES WERE TOLD BY LA RAZA “THE RACE” NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
2010 CENSUS TO KEEP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM KNOW THAT THAT OUR GOVERNMENT’S
PROPAGANDA THAT THERE WERE ONLY 12 MILLION ILLEGALS IS JUST THAT! LA RAZA
FASCIST PROPAGANDA! MOST SOURCES PUT THE NUMBER AT 38 MILLION AND BREEDING LIKE
BUNNIES!
William
Sanchez, president of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian
Leaders Legal Defense Fund, said his group is preparing a federal lawsuit
against Arizona to stop the law from being applied. The group represents 30,000
evangelical churches nationwide, including 300 Latino pastors in Arizona.
THERE
ARE CALCULATED TO BE 38 MILLION OF THESE “SHOCKED” MEXICAN FLAG WAVERS IN THIS
COUNTRY AND IN OUR JOBS!
"Millions
of Latinos around the country are shocked," Sanchez said.
Current
law in Arizona and most other states does not require police to inquire about
immigration status, and many police departments prohibit officers from asking
out of fear of losing immigrants' cooperation in other investigations.
Brewer
ordered the state's law enforcement licensing agency to develop a training
course on how to implement the law without violating civil rights. "We
must enforce the law evenly, and without regard to skin color, accent or social
status," she said. "We must prove the alarmists and the cynics
wrong."
Immigrants
unable to provide documentation of legal presence could be arrested, jailed for
as long as six months and fined $2,500. Legal immigrants will be required to
carry paperwork proving their status.
The
law also allows suits against government agencies that hinder enforcement of
immigration laws and toughens restrictions on hiring illegal immigrants and
knowingly transporting them.
"It's
going to change our lives," said Emilio Almodovar, a 13-year-old U.S.
citizen from Phoenix. "We can't walk to school anymore. We can't be in the
streets anymore without the [police] thinking we're illegal immigrants."
MEXICO
WARNS!!!! FUCK MEXICO! THEY ARE A SHAMELESS DUMPSTER OF A COUNTRY RUN BY DRUG
DEALERS!
ISN’T
IT TIME TO FLIP OFF MEXICO THAT HAS SENT MILLION OF PREGNANT WOMEN OVER OUR BORDERS
TO GET ON GRINGO WELFARE FOR 18 YEARS?!?!
Mexico
warned that the law could affect cross-border relations, with Foreign Secretary
Patricia Espinosa saying her country would have to "consider whether the
cooperation agreements that have been developed with Arizona are viable and
useful." Francisco Loureiro, an immigration activist who runs a shelter in
Nogales, Mexico, called the measure "racist" and said it would lead
to additional police abuses.
"Police
in Arizona already treat migrants worse than animals," he said.
"There is already a hunt for migrants, and now it will be open season
under the cover of a law." Loureiro said about 250 deported immigrants
have been arriving nightly at his shelter and that most say they were detained
by police.
After
signing the legislation, Brewer said critics were "overreacting" and
vowed not to tolerate racial profiling.
"We
in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act," she
said. "But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous
and unacceptable situation."

Illegals Sexually Assault
Eight American Kids Everyday
Illegal Alien Violence On the Border and In Every American City is Sky High!
Illegal alien known as the “Chandler Rapist” received a 168 year sentence. Mexican national Santana Batiz-Aceves, 39, was sentenced in Maricopa County Superior Court to 168 years in prison. A month ago, he pleaded guilty to five counts of sexual conduct with a minor, five counts of molestation of a child, one count of aggravated assault and one count of attempted sexual assault.
On January 11, 2008, police in Chandler, AZ arrested Aceves, and based on DNA evidence, charged him with 47 various counts. The string of child rapes took place between June 2006-November 2007.
At the time of his arrest, he had already been deported twice for drug charges in California. Aceves faced charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault, burglary, sexual abuse of a minor, child molestation, giving police false information, providing false documents, and trespassing.
Though an illegal alien, Aceves was working as a heavy equipment operator and lived very close to two junior high schools.
The police had reason to believe that Aceves is in the country illegally, so his immigration status had been turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

This story is outrageous and never had to happen. Now as if forcing ObamaCare on Americans wasn’t enough, this summer Obama is planning on shoving another giant dose of his socials agenda down your throat! Hold onto your constitution, AMNESTY is heading your way!
The mainstream media cackled with delight when they heard the news that Sen. Harry Reid was going to be giving the American public another dose of his radical leftist agenda. "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is moving full steam ahead with a politically tenuous strategy to pass comprehensive immigration reform this summer -- with or without Republicans -- in an effort to inspire Latino voters ahead of the midterm elections," says Roll Call. Even amidst concerns that lawmakers will be tied up all summer with the Supreme Court nomination Reid is steamrolling ahead!
Don’t be fooled, remember when they tried this back in 2007? Immigration reform was amnesty then and its amnesty for illegal criminals now! We didn’t want it then and we don’t want it now!
Things haven’t gotten any better since 2007, they’ve gotten worse. Illegal alien violence on the border and in every American city is sky high! Jobs that Americans need NOW are being taken by illegal aliens. Hospitals are shutting down at the hands of illegals who clog up emergency rooms and don’t pay a dime for their service. Hospitals just can’t make money when they are forced to give out health care handouts left and right! And top it off; you would think that since they are getting all this free stuff you’d think they’d at least want to be part of the great melting pot of America. Think again, the cultural divide is growing; there are many illegal aliens that are working to further their idea of Aztlan, which has known ties to the global socialist movement and aims to take over the southwest states in the United States and form a new nation.
We don’t want what Reid is pushing, he’s pushing AMNESTY! What we want is strict enforcement of current laws and a rock solid border! According to Congressman Steve King just ONE DAY of strict enforcement of our immigration laws and border security would have a dramatic result:
The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise would die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day.
Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals.
There would be no one to smuggle the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines, which plague the United States, across our southern border reducing the U.S. supply of methamphetamines that day, by 80%.
Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to tuberculosis and other imported diseases, to hangnails and give American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals.
Eight American children would not suffer the horror as victims of sex crimes.
Liberals are on cloud 9 since they rammed healthcare through. They think they have momentum. But they don’t know America, they live in a bubble! Show them they can not ignore the will of the American people! Show them where the real momentum lies! STOP AMNESTY – SECURE THE BORDER!

SELECT HERE NOW! STOP THE NEW OBAMA AMNESTY BILL
At the beginning of Obama’s reign Congress was convened, and the newly elected Senators and Congressmen took their oaths of office. At that point, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) introduced a set of ten bills, letting everyone know exactly what the Democrats’ agenda is for the new 111th Congress and Obama.
Guess what number nine was?
S. 9 is a little two page bill called the “Stronger Economy, Stronger Borders Act of 2009,”
which was written to be a placeholder for so-called "comprehensive" immigration legislation, otherwise known as "Amnesty"! One of the main focuses of this bill is -- surprise, surprise -- "reforming and rationalizing" avenues for immigration.
Already an average of 32,000 immigrants were detained each day in the first year of the Obama administration, and more than 380,000 were deported. These numbers are an increase of more than 60% over the Bush years -- meaning that illegal aliens are crossing the borders in greater numbers than previously, in expectation of being granted Amnesty by Obama.
Help us mobilize common sense, patriotic Americans against this travesty!! The Obama administration's plan for mass Amnesty MUST BE STOPPED!

Lou Dobbs Tonight
Thursday, September 18, 2008
Another victory for American workers in Arizona. Yesterday, the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the get-tough employer sanctions law in the
state. The law hits employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens with strict
penalties and in some cases even strips businesses of their licenses. A lower
court upheld the same law in February. But open-borders and amnesty groups
along with the business lobby are considering yet another appeal.

Mexican citizens asked to fight crime
As kidnapping rates soar, Mexico City's
mayor is recruiting 300,000 residents to monitor – and turn in – corrupt cops.

Mexico City - Shopkeeper Mayra Bermejo would
have a hard time turning in a corrupt police officer even though she – like so
many other Mexicans – is exasperated by the growing number of killings and
kidnappings that authorities are unable to prevent."Once he knows I've denounced him, I'm an open target," says Ms. Bermejo. "He may even send street thugs to harass me."
Seventy-two percent of city residents say they don't trust the police, according to a recent survey in the daily newspaper Reforma. And if Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard has his way, a new corps of 300,000 residents will become watchdogs of sorts – monitoring and turning in police officials who operate outside the law.
With 438 reported kidnappings last year – and probably many more unreported – one more abduction typically would have fallen on ears deafened by the grim state of security in Mexico. But the case of Fernando MartÃ, the teenage son of a wealthy Mexican family, has resonated nationwide. His body was found Aug. 1, after he had been abducted at a fake police checkpoint two months earlier and after his family reportedly paid a ransom in full.
It comes as news of abductions along the US-Mexican border, including cases involving US citizens, has increasingly made headlines. Kidnapping increased from 278 victims in 2005 to 325 victims in 2006, according to government figures. In 2007, the number jumped by 35 percent. Fifty-nine kidnap victims, including Fernando, have been killed since Mexico President Felipe Calderón took office in December 2006.
Most citizens have little faith in the police, says Arturo Alvarado, a sociologist at the College of Mexico. By some estimates, 1 in 4 crimes goes unreported, he says. Instead, residents find their own solutions, employing security guards or gating themselves in their neighborhoods.
That is why many residents say they would be unwilling to take on the role of citizen watchdog.
"The fear of reprisal is enough to keep anyone from denouncing police corruption. Even police chiefs are afraid to act, for fear that they will be killed," says Carlo Cuenca, a shopkeeper in Mexico City.
It is this fear that Ortega says must be defeated if the country is to move forward. "The answer is not with the police. They have demonstrated collusion with organized crime and kidnappings. For this reason we must break with the fear. Thousands of us must march to show that we are not afraid," he says.
Frustration comes as Mr. Calderón has sent tens of thousands of federal police and military personnel across the country to tamp down drug violence that has, nevertheless, persisted. Some 2,000 people have been killed this year in connection to the illegal drug trade, according to local media tallies.
Yet kidnapping terrorizes citizens more than drug-related violence, because victims are more often targeted randomly. And since several cops have been arrested in connection with the Martà case, a new sense of anger not seen in at least four years – the last time civil organizations staged a massive antikidnapping protest – has surfaced.
A
Mexican federal police commander whose top deputies were gunned down last
weekend was charged Friday with possessing more than $500,000 from drug
trafficking.
Carlos
Cepano Filippini, 34, was one of four people charged with one felony count each
of possession of money as part of narcotics trafficking, the Los Angeles County
district attorney's office said in a statement.
Less
than a week ago two of his high ranking officers were shot in Mexico.

Mexico
Destabilizing: Is War With USA Imminent?
By Xelan Bonn
WASHINGTON, D.C. - May 15, 2008
Now risen to the level of an insurgent war, the battle
between the falling Kleptocratic Mexican government and supra-wealthy organized
crime groups who now control much of Mexico's land areas, police forces, and
even some of its military has hit a new milestone.
Exasperating political climates, the violence, bloodshed,
and hatred for Americans South of the border, coupled with rising injustices
and racism against and by US citizens, compounded by an incompetent federal
government North of the border, are propagating the fires of civil discontent
on both sides and about to strip-away the last veneers of civility.
Toss into the ugly political salad the mix of illegal
immigration, free trade, high treason, disdain for the Constitution by US
leaders, anti-rule-of-law anarchists groups and members of Congress (i.e.
pro-open borders, pro-illegal immigration groups), and increasing economic
pressures and uncertainties on both sides of the border, the climate is now
ripe for growing a civil war.
Corrupted Mexican officials are driving an ever-increasing
political wedge against Americans, demanding non-existent rights for millions
of their invading hordes in direct violation of the Treaty of Guadalupe--giving
the US the unilateral legal right to militarily invade Mexico and seize its oil
fields and other natural assets. However, at the highest level of government,
both countries remain safe from such political unthinkables--but then the
choice as to whether the US goes to war with Mexico is not in either
government's hands.
Somewhere, anywhere, perhaps along any stretch of the
border where Mexican militants are becoming extremely aggressive, or within any
US city where illegal aliens have coalesced, a violent event is now likely to
unfold that could trigger a powerful domino effect, bringing both countries to
war with lightening speed--citizen national against citizen national!
Along the borders, many patriotic Americans are often
working side by side to prop up a greatly understaffed Border Patrol, as well
as aid what many pundits claim is an incompetent, bureaucratically quagmired
Department of Homeland Security. Such private groups, uncensored by government
regulations, are now reporting that aggressive actions by both armed and
unarmed Mexican citizens, coupled with high tensions on both sides of the
border, are threatening to erupt into full-scale war--a war that neither
government will be able to quell once ignited, they suggest. [1]
Gun fights between Mexicans and Americans on the borders
are not unusual and many Border Patrol agents have lost their lives while
others have been used, and even jailed, as international political fodder in a
fight fraught with political and economic complexities and racial and
nationalistic tensions.
Hatred is now growing on all sides of the issues and
fences.
"The Brown Berets de Aztlan [in the US] have
undertaken an active campaign to recruit more soldiers and form new chapters
throughout Aztlan," said Chairman David Rico this month. (Aztlan is
defined by this group as Southwest United States and parts of Mexico--to be a
new country ruled by militant Mestizos--i.e. Mexicans).[3]
Making matters worse is the fact that Mexican human and
drug smugglers have hired gang members, such as the international Mara
Salvatrucha street gang, to kill U.S. Border Patrol agents.[4]
Across the country in cities like Los Angeles and Chicago,
Latino gangs made-up of largely illegal aliens, are routinely practicing
race-based murder against Whites and Blacks. [5]
Even members of Congress have splintered into race-biased
groups, such as the Hispanic Caucus lead by Rep. Luis Gutierrez, a known
anti-rule-of-law proponent of illegal immigration and original signatory to the
unconstitutional Kennedy/McCain "comprehensive amnesty" bill proposal
expected to cost taxpayers an estimated $7 to $36 trillion dollars over
30-years if approved. [5.2] (He is not alone in his disdain for the
Constitution and law or anti-Americanisms, given Democratic House Majority
Leader Nancy Pelosi's blocking of all progress on the SAVE Act, which would
markedly end illegal immigration by forcing criminal employers to quit hiring
illegal aliens).
[PUA Note: Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
have both refused to support the Safe America Act,
which would seal our borders within 6 months and repatriate all illegal aliens
within 16 months, permanently ending illegal immigration, and more--its the
bill proposal of its kind that would actually save taxpayers trillions of
dollars and help reduce the national debt while increasing security for all
Americans.]
In the mean time, White and Black supremacist groups have
remained largely benign, showing little retaliation against illegal alien
Latino gangs to date, which could be a sign of a dangerous smoldering time bomb
looking for an excuse to explode.
Activist groups, as well as state law makers, are routinely
pointing out that the federal government has breeched its Constitutionally
required duty under Article IV, Section IV to protect citizens and states from
foreign invasion, instead choosing to play politics with the law and
mislabeling the invasion (of an estimated 11-16 million armed and unarmed Mexican
citizens and another 4-8 million nonMexicans) as merely unfortunate--ignoring
the $300+ billion yearly impact on local and state governments and landslide of
negative impacts on Americans.[6]
Each year, foreign invaders murder an estimated 4,380
Americans in their undeclared war on Americans, a death toll totaling more than
the 5 years of war in Iraq combined. [7] Compounding the impacts, another 4,735
innocent Americans are slaughtered by illegal alien drunk drivers who should
not be in the country at all but are allowed to remain by local, state, and
federal law enforcement. [sic] Equally sickening is the fact that over 243
innocent children are brutally molested or raped each month by foreign
intruders--tragic crimes that could have been avoided by simply enforcing our
immigration laws--clearly Pelosi and Gutierrez stand against American children,
given their Draconian positions and respective outcroppings. [sic]
Many journalist and researchers now conclude that President
Bush and Congress have raised their collective incompetency to the level of
criminal negligence, and even treason, for failing to deal with these issues as
required by law and Constitution.[8] Criticism, legal, and political issues
aside in the US, the war South of the border continues to escalate and threaten
the US.
A United Nations survey of security and criminalization of
38 countries ranked Mexico "number one" in the category of
"violent crime" in the use of firearms--a country where privately
owned guns are largely illegal--much to the detriment of its defenseless
citizens.[9]
In the state of Sinaloa, unarmed and unprotected families
have locked themselves inside their homes in fear of being gunned down by
pervasive local drug cartels who have killed over 46 Mexicans so far this
month.[10] State and federal leaders have gathered in secret locations in a
desperate attempt to figure out how to retake control. [11]
Organized crime, which collectively earns an estimated $23
to $40+ billion annually from the illegal drug and human trafficking markets in
the US, are growing bolder throughout Mexico and using their funding to corrupt
anything and everything that stands in their way. They have hit an all-time
high in both infiltration of government, as well as murder of prominent
families, police, and army officials--racking up 102 executions nationally in
just the last seven days.[12] Mexican armies are now spread thin, trying to
quell the violence and warfare across one third of its territories but are
losing ground--government leaders are highly alarmed. [13]
The raging war in Mexico has gotten so bad that three high
ranking federal officers resigned their posts and asked the US government for
"political asylum" last month.[13.2] The obvious implication is that
the Mexican government can no longer protect its own and is now being seen as a
political threat to upstanding citizens--such is the infiltration and
corruption level within government by organized crime that now appears to be
running much of the government (for all intents and purposes).
In the city of Tijuana, Wild West style shoot-outs on city
streets have become common place between the forces of good and evil, with evil
largely winning with impunity. A major cash cow for Mexican mafias, kidnapping
along the border areas of both American and Mexican citizens has escalated to
such a point that mayors of cities from Tijuana to Juarez have requested help
from the Mexican Secretary of Government. [sic]
Even the US has entertained the idea of sending a billion
dollar stipend to Mexico's deep dark financial hole (where so much money is
known to mysteriously disappear). [14] Ironically, given the state of the
Mexican government's corruption at all levels, such funds may ultimately end up
in the hands of the very organized crime groups it was meant to fight--imagine
Americans funding their own foe and demise!
Fueling the war fires by showing their lack of concern for
opening the deadly Pandor'a Box onto American society, President Bush, Mexican
President Calderon, and Canadian Prime Minister Harper are pressing forward
aggressive plans to permanently open the border with Mexico to the US in
advancement of their free trade agenda under the Security and Prosperity
Partnership (SPP). The SPP, according to many research analyst, journalist,
state legislators and other officials, has been deemed the precursor to the
North American Union (NAU). The goal, they claim, is to eventually combine the
US, Canada, and Mexico into one country under one currency--the
"Amero"-- much like the European Union. It is a claim the three
leaders flatly deny, but their actions, and those of all three governments,
dictate the plan is well underway.[15]
The result has been that state legislators, like Arizona's
State Senator Karen Johnson, have taken bold steps to stop the NAU and have
threatened to secede their states from the union in the event unconstitutional
mandates such as the SPP are attempted by the federal government. [16] Twelve
states have some form of anti-SPP/NAU laws either secured or in the works. [17]
Citizens across the US are awakening to the facts with much
anger and bitterness, pointing hatful fingers at both federal leaders and
millions of unwanted foreign invaders stealing their resources and
opportunities.
Compounding problems, Mexico's government has proven itself
equally incompetent.
Admitting its own abuse of immigrants coming to Mexico from
its South, the Mexican oligarchy of super-wealthy families who puppet-master
the Congress and President, have perennially proven themselves unwilling and
unable to deal with their own country's economic and immigration problems, or
its endemic corruption. Their last resort agenda for their own failures has
been to push their citizens out of Mexico and into the US toward keeping their
economy from collapsing--using the ploy of blaming the US for criminalizing the
trespass of its borders while crying racism--even though Mexico is comprised of
many races and ethnicities--counting on the ignorance and assistance of the
national mainstream new media in the US to swallow the bait and promote its
smoke-screen rhetoric. [18]
Mexico will become one of the main expellers of its
countrymen because of the high degree of violence and insecurity, according to
Marion Hoffmann, regional representative of the U.N. High Commissioner for
Refugees in the Distrito Federal.[19]
Then there are, of course, the drug and human trafficking
wars still raging on and threatening the US in too many ways.
Mexican border cities everywhere can be exampled by Juarez
where deadly violence has become a mainstay and is spilling across into the US
with tragic consequences--that city alone reported 31 dead for the first twelve
days of May.
Characterized as " very
dangerous"..."potentially deadly" by Rob Daniels of Border
Patrol, Mexican gunmen stormed an armed National Guard unit in Arizona between
Lukeville and Nogales showing their disdain for the US and its security
measures. [20]
"There has been an over-100 percent increase in the
last fiscal year in border violence aimed at our Border Patrol agents, and that
ranges from gunshots fired across the border to rocks being thrown, sometimes
flaming rocks," said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.[21]
Mexicans have heavily armed themselves and are increasingly
prepared to use force to ensure their continued US invasion via both drug and
human trafficking.[22]
"They've got weapons, high-tech radios, computers,
cell phones, Global Positioning Systems, spotters and can react faster than we
are able to," said Shawn P. Moran, a 10-year U.S. Border Patrol veteran
who serves as vice president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 1613
in San Diego. [sic]
"And they have no hesitancy to attack the agents on
the line, with anything from assault rifles and improvised Molotov cocktails to
rocks, concrete slabs and bottles," he said. "There are so many agent
'rockings' that few are even reported anymore. If we wrote them all up, that's
all we would be doing," he said. [sic]
In Arizona and California, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) scratched the surface of criminal overspill into the US from
Mexico when they raided two dwellings to save over a hundred illegal alien
kidnapped victims being held hostage by Mexican organized crime. [22.1]
The political artifice that unsecured borders and
immigration is merely a minor issue unworthy of solving by US leaders contrasts
the hard reality that we are now engaged in a low level war with Mexico--a war
that could escalate at any moment.
Compounding the violent aspects are the racist aspects from
both camps, on both sides of the border.
In Mexico, a recent Zogby poll declared that the vast
majority of Mexican citizens hate Americans. [22.2] Mexico is a country
saturated with racism, yet in denial, having never endured the social
development of a Civil Rights movement like in the US--Blacks are harshly
treated while foreign Whites are often seen as the enemy. [22.3] In fact,
racism as workplace discrimination can be seen across the US anywhere the
illegal alien Latino works--the vast majority of the workforce is usually
strictly Latino, excluding Blacks, Whites, Asians, and others. [22.4] This has
not gone unnoticed by US citizen workers.
In the US, growing worker frustration from wage devaluation
and job losses due to illegal immigration and free trade, as well as a
faltering economy is spurring increased intolerance for both illegal aliens and
those in the Hispanic communities who are increasingly seen as co-conspirators
for their failure to speak-out loud and clear against the foreign invasion.
Hate crimes have been on a steady increase since 2005 with 7,722 reported in
2007 alone (the majority race-based), according to the FBI. [23]
Raising its ugly head in 2002 and making a recent comeback,
the Flash video game known as Border Patrol is again increasing its
popularity across the US on the Net. In what is seen as racist or
hate-mongering content, the video features the US-Mexican border and illegal
aliens trying to cross--points are scored for killing illegal aliens.
Such social trends tend to show increasing frustrations and
underlying anger of US citizens that is fueling an undercurrent mix of
nationalism and racial tensions between Americans and Mexicans in particular.
[24]
Adding unwanted fuel to race tensions is the mainstream
news media's insistence on not reporting the facts on illegal immigration or
the dangers of open borders while focusing on the agendas and rhetoric of
race-based groups. For example, pro illegal immigration activist Alfredo
Gutierrez, an alleged Latino racist, revealed the group's agenda and strategy
that is still in use to this day.
“We call things racism just to get attention. We reduce
complicated problems to racism, not because it is racism, but because it
works.” [25]
Such statements have been turned into a mainstream news
media platform, which has been consistently brought forward in the press and is
actually racist in and of itself--for it promotes the race-based agenda of
those who support illegal immigration, which devalues fact exploration,
rule-of-law, Constitutional respect, and logical conclusions surrounding highly
complex issues that are severely and negatively impacting Americans--and now
skewing both camps toward a war footing.
The sad irony is that illegal aliens come in all races and
ethnicities, including Euro-whites, so while race clearly plays a role on both
sides of the issue toward fueling hatred in both camps, race itself in not the
central issue--not by a long shot.
This
administration and this Congress are and will be responsible for the deaths of
thousands of our citizens for their failure to secure our borders and they
should be held [legally] accountable, said Lou Dobbs, of CNN's Lou Dobbs
Tonight. [26]
If anything is clear from these trends and developments, it
is that Congress's dereliction of duty to ensure the enforcement of our current
laws, and the President's preoccupation with his treasonous SPP project that is
undermining trust in government and fueling nationalism, are two major
underlying weights pressuring a frustrated citizenry toward a predilection for
violence that has, as yet, remained well constrained. For there are two camps
of citizens in America--those who clearly see the threats and are ready to
fight for their country--and those who have kept their heads in the sands and
are ready to run away from their country--the former will likely do all the
deciding for the latter.
The issue, although clearly not about race at its roots, is
quickly becoming a political wildfire about race and nationalism due to the
rudderless and incompetent national leadership of two countries whose failed
policies and lack of solution-making on behalf of their citizens, is
outcropping us all toward yet another preventable catastrophe. Citizens are
being forced to the solve the problems government refuses to deal with, and as
we all know, that's when things go to hell.
Americans will never tolerate an open border with Mexico
and they want control of their country, immigration, borders, and security
returned to them, while Mexico's citizens will likely tire of living in fear in
their own land--they will, at some point, as in their historical past, rise up
to take matters into their own hands. We could very well be in the midst of the
starting stages of the next Mexican Revolution where both mafias and
governments may soon learn to fear the people--but it's a civil war more likely
than not to ignite first on American soil--where one stupid act mislabeled as
"racism" by one side or the other, could trigger it all.
One thing is certain for both country's citizens--they each
deserve better from their government and leaders--and they each deserve a
country that works!
