ARIZONA IS UNDER LA RAZA SIEGE… THE MEXICANS DON’T HAVE TO
DO MUCH AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY DOES IT ALL FOR THEM.
OBAMA HAS SUED ARIZONA TO PUSH THEIR BORDERS OPEN WIDER AND
TO SEND A MESSAGE TO OTHER AMERICAN STATES THAT THE U.S. HAS SURRENDERED ITS
BORDERS TO NARCOMEX.
PHOENIX IS NOW THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS GATEWAY TO THE
AMERICAN SOUTHWEST ( LA RAZA MAYOR ANTONIO “TACO RUNT” VILLARAIGOSA’S
MEX-INFESTED GANGLAND OF LOS ANGELES IS THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS FIRST
GATEWAY).
NEXT TO MEXICO CITY, PHOENIX IS THE CAPITAL FOR MEXICAN
KIDNAPPING. IT IS THE CAPITAL of AMERICA FOR MEXICAN HOME INVASION AND CAR
THEFT.
AMERICANS (LEGALS) ARE FORCED TO PAY OUT BILLIONS IN WELFARE
AND HEALTHCARE COST TO MEXICAN INVADERS, AS WELL AS GIVE UP THEIR JOBS TO A
“CHEAP” LABOR ILLEGAL.
IT’S ALL PART OF OBAMA’S GRAND AGENDA OF TURNING AMERICAN
INTO A THIRD-WORLD DUMPSTER OF CHEAP LABOR THAT IS RULED BY HIS BANKSTER DONORS
AND OTHER WALL STREET LOOTERS.
WHO HAS DONE BETTER DURING THE CRISIS CAUSED BY OBAMA’S
CRIMINAL BANKSTERS THAN THESE VERY BANKS?
DURING OBAMA’S FIRST TERM, 2/3 JOBS WENT TO IMMIGRANTS, BOTH
LEGAL AND ILLEGAL.

What we're seeing is our

Lawlessness becomes the norm, just like Third World corruption. Illegal aliens
now have more rights and privileges than Americans. If you are an illegal
alien, you can drive a car without a driver's license or insurance. You may
obtain medical care without paying. You may work without paying taxes. Your
children enjoy free education at the expense of taxpaying Americans.

“PUNISH OUR ENEMIES”
Friends of ALIPAC,
Each day new reports come in from across the nation that our movement is surging and more incumbents, mostly Democrats, are about to fall on Election Day. Obama's approval ratings are falling to new lows as he makes highly inappropriate statements to Spanish language audiences asking illegal alien supporters to help him "punish our enemies."

Whose Country Is This?
Pat Buchanan
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
With the support of 70 percent of its citizens, Arizona has ordered sheriffs and police to secure the border and remove illegal aliens, half a million of whom now reside there.
Arizona acted because the U.S. government has abdicated its constitutional duty to protect the states from invasion and refuses to enforce America's immigration laws.
"We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act," said Gov. Jan Brewer. "But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created an unacceptable situation."
We have a crisis in Arizona because we have a failed state in Washington.

vehicle is designed for, the vehicle will often roll, or go off the road,
killing the innocent people on board."

So, we have
Mexican gangs virtually controlling parts of the United States and making
threats against American law enforcement officials, but does it stop there? Of
course not. Mexico is also SUING
Arizona over its new
illegal immigration law.
Our country is
being occupied!!!! That sentence alone should be a ringing call for action!
Laws are being broken. People in Arizona are being killed and threatened.
Arizona takes action, and what does Obama do? Does he send troops in to wipe
out the gangs? No, he's going to sue Arizona! What's wrong
What ever happened to 'American' soil?
I might be a
little slow here, but isn't America a sovereign nation? Doesn't it have borders
and land and citizens? Didn't Americans fight battles and wars and negotiate
land deals to establish this country and set up a federal government to protect
the sovereign nation? Ok, I'm just asking, because now we have Mexican drug
gangs camped out on American soil, and Barack Obama is doing nothing about it!
Isn't protecting the country THE fundamental function of the president and
those in Washington?
Before we get into some details, check out this headline from FoxNews.com: Mexican Gangs
Maintain Permanent Lookout Bases in Hills of Arizona. Did you read it? Ok...
rest five seconds and read it again. This is completely insane!
Mexican drug cartels have set up shop on American soil,
maintaining lookout bases in strategic locations in the hills of southern
Arizona from which their scouts can monitor every move made by law enforcement
officials, federal agents tell Fox News.
The scouts are supplied by drivers who bring them food, water, batteries for radios -- all the items they need to stay in the wilderness for a long time.
"To say that this area is out of control is an understatement," said an agent who patrols the area and asked not to be named. "We (federal border agents), as well as the Pima County Sheriff Office and the Bureau of Land Management, can attest to that."

Not only are the drug and illegal alien traffickers setting up
bases on American soil, they are also issuing threats. As Joshua Rhett Miller
reports, "Police officers in a small Arizona border city are on
heightened alert following a tip that a Mexican drug cartel will put them in
its crosshairs if they conduct off-duty busts."
The
threat stems from a marijuana seizure made this month by two off-duty police
officers riding on horseback in an unincorporated area east of Nogales, a city
of roughly 20,000, Police Chief Jeffrey Kirkham told FoxNews.com.
"The word was that these particular officers would be targeted if they were ever in that area again and were not on duty and intercepted any drug trafficking," Kirkham said. "It said they should look the other way."

Mexico
on Tuesday asked a federal court in Arizona to declare the state's new
immigration law unconstitutional, arguing that the country's own interests and
its citizens' rights are at stake.
Lawyers for Mexico on Tuesday submitted a legal brief in support of one of five lawsuits challenging the law. The law will take effect July 29 unless implementation is blocked by a court.
Lawyers for Mexico on Tuesday submitted a legal brief in support of one of five lawsuits challenging the law. The law will take effect July 29 unless implementation is blocked by a court.
Arizona's new law known as SB-1070 "requires police
investigating another incident or crime to ask people about their immigration
status if there's a "reasonable suspicion" they're in the country
illegally. It also makes being in Arizona illegally a misdemeanor, and it prohibits
seeking day-labor work along the state's streets." This law, as many of
you know, is basically a restatement of federal law... a federal law that the
federal government does not enforce. In addition, this law is much more lax
than Mexican immigration law. However, that point seems to be missed in
Mexico's lawsuit.
And the list grows... Mexican gangs controlling
parts of the U.S. and making threats against American cops. In addition, Mexico
is suing Arizona to make sure that the illegal alien "business" keeps
right on flowing. Does it stop there? Unfortunately,
yes, because there is NO action being taken by Obama and his team!
Just watch any interview with a Democrat "strategist"
regarding what's going on in Arizona, and they will pull out their "comprehensive
immigration reform" talking points. Just like Obama is doing with the Gulf
oil spill, they are taking a situation that needs immediate action and turning
it into a call for some left-wing legislation. Our country is being occupied!!!! That sentence alone should be a
ringing call for action! Laws are being broken. People in Arizona are being
killed and threatened. Arizona takes action, and what does Obama do? Does he
send troops in to wipe out the gangs? No, he's going to sue Arizona! What's wrong

“Congressional
Democrats are now in the painful process of discovering that Barack Obama’s
agenda was never about them, never about “the party,” and never about the
United States. They have been slavishly empowering a man who is committed to
his own raw pursuit of power, and they are now finding themselves to be victims
of his agenda.”
Collateral Damage in Obama's War on Arizona
By AUSTIN HILL, TOWNHALL.com
It wasn’t all that long ago when they fawned over him.
But now, three congressional Democrats from Arizona are twisting
in the wind, as their beloved party leader President Barack Obama continues to
punish their cash-strapped state with a costly and unpopular law suit to
prevent the implementation of Arizona’s new illegal immigration law. It’s Obama
versus the people – with congressional Democrats caught in the middle.
But things were different on February 17, 2009.
The delegation standing on the tarmac was electrified with
excitement, as Air Force One taxied to a stop at Phoenix, Arizona’s Sky Harbor
Airport. The man who was the embodiment of all their dreams – the man who would
give everyone a job, apologize to the world for President Bush, punish the
“rich people” who “earned too much” over the previous eight years, give
everyone in the U.S.” free” healthcare, make the world love America again, and
ensure a Democrat majority in the Congress for years to come - President Barack
Obama was visiting their state, and this was their very special moment in time.
And there was the congenial, grand-fatherly-looking Harry
Mitchell, giddy with excitement as he stood with a camera strap draped over his
neck, snapping photos by the second as the President stepped down from the
aircraft. It was cute to see an older gentleman so caught-up in the victorious
moment of a much younger man, like a dad on the sidelines at his son’s big
game.
But Harry Mitchell is an elected member of the United States
Congress. He represents hundreds of thousands of people in the House of
Representatives, and those people expect more from him than mere cheerleading,
more than merely being an adoring father-figure.
And today,
Congressman Harry Mitchell appears to be on a path to electoral defeat, because
of eighteen months of cheerleading and adoration of a President with a very
self-serving agenda. Things have become so bad for Congressman Mitchell that he
had to publicly chastise the “Dear Leader,” and suggest that President Obama
might spend tax payers in some more productive fashion than suing Arizona.
Worse still, Mr. Mitchell has had to – gasp!- publicly call for securing the
U.S. / Mexico border , an idea that has been championed by Arizona Republicans
for decades, and by Tea Partiers and Minutemen enthusiasts for at least the
past six years.
In the southern Arizona city of Tucson, Congresswoman Gabriella
Giffords is in a similar struggle. For her part, Giffords learned much earlier
than Mitchell that her constituents were not as infatuated with President Obama
as she was. After voting in favor of the President’s $800 billion so-called
“economic stimulus bill,” Giffords was met with outcries of “government waste”
and quickly issued press statements assuring constituents that she was in
Washington to serve them, and not merely to “rubber stamp” the President’s
agenda.
Yet Giffords is still being damaged by the President’s thrashing
of Arizona, as well as the behavior of her fellow Southern Arizona Democrat,
Congressman Raul Grijalva. While Giffords’ appears very vulnerable in her
re-election bid, Grijalva’s seat is believed to be “safe,” so Grijalva has been
encouraging the President to sue Arizona, while he encourages businesses around
the world to boycott (note the caliber of congressional leadership that has
emerged in the era of Obama – we’re talking here about a sitting U.S.
Congressman who is openly encouraging people to economically damage his
community).
In Central Arizona, Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick is also paying
the price for playing “follow the leader.” Hopelessly enamored with President Obama’s
every thought, Ms. Kirkpatrick was the first member of Congress to issue press
releases claiming that she personally wanted to enroll in the proposed
“Obamacare health plan,” rather than continue with the exclusive, more lavish
health plan granted to members of Congress.</P< span>
But today it’s a different, as Kirkpatrick has joined Mitchell and
Giffords in chastising their community-organizer-in-chief. She has also adopted
the long-standing cry of Republicans to “secure the border first,” telling the
President that “the time for talk is over, and the time for action is here.”
So, what happened? What has changed in the past eighteen months to
force these Obama partisans to now disagree with him? And how could these
elected members of the United States Congress have so horribly miscalculated
the true sentiments of their constituents?
Their biggest problem is that they – along with the majority of
the Congress itself – made the horrible mistake of finding their hopes and
aspirations in the embodiment of one man, one personality, one persona. As
constitutionally and historically illiterate as many members of Congress may
be, there are still millions of us who understand that the United States is a
nation resting on the foundation of specific principles and ideals, and not on
the whims and charm of any individual personality.
Congressional
Democrats are now in the painful process of discovering that Barack Obama’s
agenda was never about them, never about “the party,” and never about the
United States. They have been slavishly empowering a man who is committed to
his own raw pursuit of power, and they are now finding themselves to be victims
of his agenda.

Gregory Kane: Do Latinos take priority
over whites in Arizona?
America's open-borders crowd didn't just play the race card in the
nation's latest immigration debate. This bunch whipped out an entire deck.
We have none other than the Revvum Al Sharpton himself -- who no
one has described as "Mr. Racial Harmony" -- weighing in with these
gems.
"The Arizona immigration bill is an affront to the civil
rights of all Americans and an attempt to legalize racial profiling."
That one was from the April 25 edition of the Wall Street Journal.
The following one is from Reuters:
"I am calling for the resignation and removal of Sheriff
[Joe] Arpaio. Harassment based on color is nothing short of racial profiling,
which many of us helped to fight to make against the law."
Sharpton was referring to the sheriff of Maricopa County in
Arizona. What's Arpaio's offense, in the good revvum's view? Why, taking our
nation's immigration laws seriously, of course, and rounding up those who
violate them. Here's more of Sharpton continuing his anti-Arpaio rant, taken
from the Reuters story:
"Arpaio needs to be confronted. He needs to be removed. We
also need to suspend the law that he is using. We must stand with our brown
brothers and sisters."
Sharpton lives nowhere near Arizona. If you're wondering where he
found the chutzpah to dredge up with this "we" stuff, you're not
alone.
Sharpton isn't alone either, not when it comes to making spurious,
knee-jerk charges of racism in the wake of Arizona passing a law that allows
cops to question those legally stopped about their immigration status.
It's high time
somebody pointed out the real racists in this controversy. And yes, that would
be many of those making the charges of racism.
Frankly, I suspect much of the reaction comes from those who are
worried about how their lawns are going to be cut if there's a mass deportation
of illegal immigrants. (A word of advice: cut 'em your darned selves.)
Don't non-Hispanic Arizonans get any consideration? (Actually, I
suspect that many of the reported 70 percent of Arizonans who support the law
are Hispanic, which makes the racism of those screaming racism even more
obvious and egregious.) One of those non-Hispanic Arizonans is a woman named
Elisabeth Grey, who posted this comment in reaction to the Wall Street Journal
story:
"I live in a
Tucson neighborhood that is a major drug corridor. In the last four months
there have been over 24 violent home invasions resulting in a number of deaths.
It's harvest time now for marijuana in Mexico and Central America. We expect
the number of deaths to increase.
"One of the
other tragedies is human trafficking. 'Coyotes' bring vans overfilled with
illegal immigrants across the border, and because the load is more than the
vehicle is designed for, the vehicle will often roll, or go off the road,
killing the innocent people on board."
What Grey is telling us is that, in Arizona, the illegal immigrant
problem is now also a public safety problem. And police are allowed to make
stops -- of people on the street and in vehicles -- when crime reaches an
outrageous level. If those stopped in vehicles don't have proper
identification, then any competent police officer will ask those people a
string of questions to determine who they are.
Here's what the opponents of Arizona's new law are saying, and
it's the most outrageously racist thing of all: Police should be allowed to ask
anyone legally stopped about their identities except Hispanics.

THE AZTLAN INVASION & THE LA
RAZA FASCIST PARTY FOR MEXICAN SUPREMACY
“The radicals seek nothing less than secession from the United States
whether to form their own sovereign state or to reunify with Mexico. Those who
desire reunification with Mexico are irredentists who seek to reclaim Mexico's
"lost" territories in the American Southwest.”
MULTICULTURALISM, IMMIGRATION AND
AZTLAN
By Maria Hsia Chang Professor of
Political Science, University of Nevada Reno
One of the standard arguments invoked by those in favor of
massive immigration into the United States is that our country is founded on
immigrants who have always been successfully assimilated into America's
mainstream culture and society. As one commentator put it, "Assimilation
evokes the misty past of Ellis Island, through which millions entered,
eventually seeing their descendants become as American as George Washington."1
Nothing more vividly testifies against that romantic faith in America's ability
to continuously assimilate new members than the events of October 16, 1994 in
Los Angeles. On that day, 70,000 people marched beneath "a sea of Mexican
flags" protesting Proposition 187, a referendum measure that would deny
many state benefits to illegal immigrants and their children. Two weeks later,
more protestors marched down the street, this time carrying an American flag
upside down. Both protests point to a
disturbing and rising phenomenon of Chicano separatism in the United States —
the product of a complex of forces, among which are multiculturalism and a
generous immigration policy combined with a lax border control. The Problem
Chicanos refer to "people of Mexican descent in the United States" or
"Mexican Americans in general." Today, there are reasons to believe that
Chicanos as a group are unlike previous immigrants in that they are more likely
to remain unassimilated and unintegrated, whether by choice or circumstance —
resulting in the formation of a separate quasi-nation within the United States.
More than that, there are Chicano political activists who intend to marry
cultural separateness with territorial and political self-determination. The
more moderate among them aspire to the cultural and political autonomy of
"home rule". The radicals seek
nothing less than secession from the United States whether to form their own
sovereign state or to reunify with Mexico. Those who desire reunification with
Mexico are irredentists who seek to reclaim Mexico's "lost"
territories in the American Southwest.
Obama tries to stop AZ immigration
law
Obama admin asks Supreme Court to stop AZ from enforcing illegal alien law
By Pete Yost May 29, 2010 4:00 AM
*
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration on Friday urged the Supreme Court to prevent Arizona from enforcing a law that punishes businesses that employ illegal immigrants, arguing that federal immigration law trumps state efforts.
The administration's views, contained in a new filing at the high court, are similar to concerns President Barack Obama has expressed about a new Arizona law that cracks down on illegal immigrants.
When it takes effect July 29, the new law will require police enforcing any other law to examine immigration status if there is reasonable suspicion a person is in the country illegally.
Obama and other administration officials have illegal immigration is an issue that must have a national solution rather than being addressed on a piecemeal basis by the states. The Obama administration is contemplating a court challenge to the new law. Justice Department officials met face-to-face with Attorney General Terry Goddard and aides to Republican Gov. Jan Brewer to elicit information from state officials regarding the Obama administration's concerns about the new law.
In asking the Supreme Court to take the employer sanctions case, the Obama administration said federal immigration law expressly pre-empts any state law imposing sanctions on employers hiring illegal immigrants. The administration added that if Arizona businesses knowingly use illegal immigrants, the businesses can have any of their state licenses suspended or revoked.
Lower courts have said that the Arizona law is not pre-empted by the federal law. That should be reversed, acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal said in the Supreme Court filing.
The Arizona law disrupts "a careful balance that Congress struck nearly 25 years ago between two interests of the highest importance: ensuring that employers do not undermine enforcement of immigration laws by hiring unauthorized workers, while also ensuring that employers not discriminate against racial and ethnic minorities legally in the country," Katyal wrote.
Phoenix attorney Julie Pace, representing the trade associations that are challenging the Arizona law, called the Obama administration's position "good news that the federal government has gone on record supporting the legal challenge to the constitutionality" of the Arizona law.

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.

ACCORDING TO SENATOR LAMAR SMITH OF TEXAS, WHEN
CHALLENGING SO- CALLED “HOMELAND SECURITY = PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIPS” LA RAZA
JANET NAPOLITANO, AS TO WHY OUR BORDERS ARE WIDE OPEN TO NARCOMEX, OBAMA HAS
CUT ENFORCEMENT BY MORE THAN 60% IN ALL AREAS.
Obama soft on illegals enforcement
Arrests of illegal immigrant
workers have dropped precipitously under President Obama, according to figures
released Wednesday. Criminal arrests, administrative arrests, indictments and
convictions of illegal immigrants at work sites all fell by more than 50
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.

Pinal County Sheriff: Mexican drug cartels now control
parts of Arizona
Posted:
06/11/2010
CASA
GRANDE, AZ - Two men shot earlier this week could be the result of the ongoing
battle between Mexican drug cartels now spilling over deep into Arizona,
officials say.
Pinal
County investigators say an area known as the smuggling corridor
now stretches from Mexico's border to metro Phoenix.
The
area , once an area for family hiking and off road vehicles has government
signs warning residents of the drug and human smugglers.
Night vision cameras have
photographed military armed cartel members delivering drugs to vehicles along
Highway 8.
"We
are three counties deep. How is it that you see pictures like these, not
American with semi and fully automatic rifles. How is that okay?" asked
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.
Babeu
said he no longer has control over parts of his county.
"We
are outgunned, we are out manned and we don't have the resources here locally
to fight this," he said at a Friday news conference.
Five
weeks ago Deputy Louie Puroll was ambushed and shot as he tracked six drug
smugglers.
Sheriff
Babeu said the ambush mirrored military tactics.
Even
more disturbing, Babeu said the man who called in to 911 operators for help
seemed to know a lot about the sheriff deputy's case.
"He
told operators they could find him where the deputy was shot and talked about
our search helicopter. Things that were talked about on the news," Babeu
said.
When
operators asked the fatally wounded man how he knew the area, he claimed he
sold cantelope near mile post 150.
Both
men were found dead several hours later.
Detectives
say next to them was a Bushmaster automatic rifle used by police officers for
patrolling. It does not appear to be stolen.
Investigators
also revealed that an autopsy showed strap marks on one of the men that likely
came from hauling heavy loads, they suspect were drugs.
One
of the men, deputies say, was voluntarily deported seven times.
Babeu said he doesn't believe
the drug cartel problems will not be solved when SB 1070 becomes a law, or with
President Obama's promise of 1,200 troops spread out among four border states.
"It
will fall short. What is truly needed in 3,000 soldiers for Arizona
alone," Babeu said.

KEEP THIS IN MIND AS YOU WITNESS OBAMA AND HIS LA RAZA
HISPANDERING ADMINISTRATION’S ENDLESS ASSAULT ON THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA FOR MORE
“CHEAP” LABOR ILLEGALS, KNOWN TO HIM AS “UNREGISTERED VOTERS”.
Gov. Brewer: Most border-crossers are drug
'mules' for Mexican cartels
Expanding on comments made at a candidates' debate, Arizona Gov.
Jan Brewer said today she believes that most illegal immigrants crossing the
border are "mules" carrying drugs for Mexican cartels.
"I believe today, under the circumstances that we're facing,
that the majority of the illegal trespassers that are coming into the state of
Arizona are under the direction and control of organized drug cartels and they
are bringing drugs in," Brewer told the Associated
Press.
"There's strong information to us that they come as illegal
people wanting to come to work. Then they are accosted and they become subjects
of the drug cartel," she said.
During the June 15 Republican debate she said she believed that
most illegal immigrants did not enter the United States for work. She then
associated illegal immigrants with drug smuggling, drop houses, extortion and
other criminal activity, according to AP.
The state law she signed making it a crime to be in Arizona
illegally will take effect next month.

On May 9, a 15-year-old girl
walked into Arizona through the San Luis port of
entry, near Yuma, with 5 pounds of marijuana strapped around her belly, Customs
and Border Protection records show.
She was busted by customs officers.
Later that day, a 16-year-old boy tried the same thing with 2
pounds of cannabis taped to his legs. He, too, was arrested.
The marijuana, with a combined street value of $72,000, was
confiscated.
The juveniles — both U.S. citizens — were turned over to police,
but others keep taking their place.
In the past two years, Homeland Security officials have witnessed
a disturbing development along the Mexican border: kid smugglers.
"It's going up," said Michael Lowrie, a public-affairs
agent for the U.S.
Border Patrol. "Not a whole lot, but more than we've seen in, well, pretty
much ever."
The Border Patrol does not keep
data on juvenile drug runners caught trying to sneak into Arizona. Customs and
Border Protection records show 130 minors were caught attempting to bring drugs
through entry ports from Sonora into Arizona during fiscal 2009, an 83%
increase over the previous year.
Teresa Small, a Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman in San
Luis, said narcotics organizations are recruiting American teens with claims
that they won't face major punishment if caught.
"Drug-trafficking organizations lead them to believe they
will not have a substantial sentence," Small said. Prison terms are not
uncommon for teen smugglers.
The problem escalated last year to a point where federal and local
authorities created programs to warn Yuma County students about the dangers and
consequences of drug smuggling. The federal campaign includes a presentation by
border agents.
Judge Maria Elena Cruz said she has noticed a surge of young
smugglers who are stunned when she orders them incarcerated.
Small said most of the youthful offenders are Americans with
family members in Mexico. She said port officers generally refer suspects to
local authorities for prosecution under Arizona law, rather than to the federal
justice system.
"One thing for sure: They will get the hardest punishment
possible," Small said.
Still, the cases pile up.
On June 24, Customs and Border Protection reported, a 16-year-old
American boy was arrested at the San Luis port of entry with cocaine taped to
his leg.
"They think they're going to get away with it or get a slap
on the wrist," Lowrie

“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.”
Justice Department planning to sue
Arizona sheriff Arpaio over alleged racial profiling
Published May
10, 2012
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.

If
you’ve been following the news from Arizona in recent days, you’ve probably
heard that the state’s Republican governor, Jan Brewer, has just signed into
law a “racist” bill that will punish Hispanics, stamp out civil rights, create
a police state – and trample on the Constitution for good measure. You also may
have heard that the Arizona law will “undermine basic notions of fairness,” at
least according to President Obama, who has called the law “misguided” and
ordered the Justice Department to find some way to challenge its standing.
Apocalyptic
rhetoric notwithstanding, the Arizona law is not at all controversial in
substance. All it does is deputize state police to determine whether people are
in the country legally and to question them if there is reasonable suspicion
that they’re not. Of course, that function should properly be handled by the
federal government. But because the government has made so little effort to
enforce immigration laws, border states that bear the brunt of illegal
immigration – an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants call Arizona home – have
been forced to take action on their own terms.
The
concept behind the immigration law is straightforward: If you enforce laws
against illegal immigration, you will have less of it. That was also the idea
behind Arizona’s Legal Arizona Workers Act, which required the state’s
employers to verify the immigration status of new hires using the federal
government’s E-Verify program. Businesses eager to avoid the burdens of
verification and pro-illegal immigration groups also opposed that measure,
filing suit to prevent its passage, but emerging evidence seems to suggest that
it had the desired effect: Since being implemented in January 2008, the LAWA
has resulted in a substantial decrease of illegal immigration.
The
new law seeks to continue that progress. It does so mostly by making
state crimes what are already federal crimes. For instance, the Arizona law makes it a crime to be in
the country illegally – in other words, it enforces the national law. The
Arizona law also requires police to question people about their immigration
status if they have reasonable cause to suspect that they’re illegal
immigrants. To prevent abuse or racial discrimination, the law also includes
provisions banning racial profiling, and the measure itself has nothing to do
with race or ethnicity, as the bill’s foes claim. Still, given that the
majority of the state’s illegal immigrants are from neighboring Mexico, it is
inevitable that the majority of those targeted by the law will be Hispanic.
That says more about the demographics of illegal immigration than the allegedly
discriminatory agenda of Arizona authorities.
Concerns
about the abuse of civil liberties are similarly overblown. The Arizona law
will require anyone arrested for a crime to have their immigration status
established before their release. In theory, this should already be the law of
the land; but so-called “sanctuary city” laws enacted by cities and
municipalities across the country have prevented police from enforcing
immigration laws. Such laws certainly benefit felons who escape deportation.
How they profit the country at large is less apparent. The Arizona law also
requires residents to carry ID or immigration registration documents at all
times. That too is reasonable. A valid ID is already required to qualify for
government and public assistance programs available to citizens and requiring
one form of valid ID – whether a drivers license a government-issue ID — hardly
marks the onset of Nazi Germany. Indeed, no less than President Obama has
previously expressed support for a national ID card.
While
some have criticized Arizona for taking the initiative against illegal
immigration, it’s hard to find fault with the state’s sense of urgency. Last
month’s murder of Arizona cattle rancher Rob Krentz was just example of the crime problem that unchecked
illegal immigration has helped create and the problems its poses for American
justice. Although Kentz was known for providing illegals with food and water,
police found tracks at the murder scene leading to the Mexican border. They
made no arrests in the case. In that climate of lawlessness, the state cannot
be blamed for passing a law that may help offer a solution. Moreover, with the
Obama administration and Congressional Democrats threatening to take up
immigration reform – that is, amnesty for the 11-million plus illegal
immigrants in this country unmatched by serious enforcement measures going
forward – states like Arizona are left with a choice of doing something to
combat the problem or leaving it to the federal government to make it worse.
LA
RAZA, “THE RACE” – THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of AMERICA AT WORK:
If
there is an ugly side revealed by the Arizona law, it is in the extremism of
pro-illegal immigration groups. On Monday, opponents of the Arizona law used
refried beans to smear swastikas on the Arizona state Capitol. Another champion
of illegal immigration, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, made the
not-so-veiled threat that Mexican trade and political relations with Arizona
would suffer if it cracked down on illegals.
Defying
these opponents and braving slander in much of the press coverage, Arizona has
taken the lead in enforcing the country’s immigration laws and protecting the
rights and interests of its citizens. For the Left, the new law makes Arizona a
model of an “American-style police state.” For those serious about
border security

Illegal immigrants drain the tax
dollars
IN MEXIFORNIA, AMERICANS (LEGALS)
ARE FORCED TO PAY OUT $22 BILLION IN SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS. THAT IS ON
THE STATE LEVEL ALONE!
Ariz. Saves Millions Cutting Illegal Immigrant Perks
Last
Updated: Mon, 08/10/2009 - 2:48pm
A U.S. border state that stopped giving illegal immigrants discounted public college tuition a few years ago reports saving millions of dollars after terminating the program that essentially subsidized illegal behavior with public money.
Fed
up with the toll that illegal aliens were having on its state, Arizona voters
overwhelmingly passed a law in late 2006 to deny them heavily discounted
resident college tuition and other state-funded benefits draining the budget.
Approved by more than 70% of voters, the measure also requires state agencies
to verify the immigration status of applicants for public services such as
child care and adult education as well as financial aide for college students.
Regardless,
thousands
of illegal aliens
continue to annually apply for the costly perks which used to cost taxpayers
tens of millions of dollars each year. Since the law passed more than 3,400
community college students and nearly 300 university students paid the much
higher nonresident tuition because they couldn't prove they were in the country
legally.
This
represented a savings of nearly $8 million for one of the state’s community
college districts (Maricopa County Community College District) alone. Combined
with Arizona’s other junior college districts and its three public universities
the savings are estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars.
Arizona’s
State Treasurer says the money is being appropriately used for programs that
benefit legal residents rather than to subsidize the education of those who
live in the state illegally. A handful of other states—including Texas,
California, Utah, Maryland and Wisconsin—offer illegal immigrants discounted
tuition at public colleges.
Earlier
this month, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott ruled that allowing illegal
immigrants to pay in-state tuition breaks
federal law though
the state annually grants the coveted benefit to thousands of undocumented
students. The opinion was a no brainer considering that a 1996 immigration
reform law forbids states from giving illegal aliens in-state tuition unless it
provides the same for all students regardless of residency.
It
was that law that led a group of out-of-state students to successfully
challenge the practice in California. The students argued that California’s
public university and community college system violated the law by charging
them higher tuition and fees than undocumented immigrants. A state appellate
court ruled
in favor of the
American students and the case is pending before the sate Supreme Court.

CONGRESSIONAL STUDY SHOWS ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS SAP TAX DOLLARS
Apparently no one has told
FEINSTEIN, BOXER, PELOSI, WAXMAN!
Congressional study shows illegal immigrants sap tax dollars
The Business Journal of
Phoenix - by Ty Young Phoenix Business Journal
A study by the U.S. Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday backs up the view that undocumented immigrants sap more tax dollars than they provide, especially in education, health care and law enforcement.
The study pulled together reports from the past five years, using data from sources including the Pew Hispanic Center, the Rand Corp., the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and various universities. The Congressional study also incorporated facts from states, including Arizona, but its authors acknowledged there was no aggregate estimate that could be applied to the entire country.
The report says that in 1990, 90 percent of undocumented immigrants primarily were in six states: California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Texas.
By 2004, undocumented immigrants had increased tenfold in other states, most notably Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, according to statistics from the Pew Hispanic Center.
The report estimates there are 12 million undocumented immigrants nationwide. Of those, 60 percent are uninsured and 50 percent of the children are uninsured. Again using 2004 statistics from the Pew Hispanic Center the average income of undocumented immigrants was $27,400 while Americans earned $47,800. The difference puts undocumented immigrants in a lower tax bracket, thus reducing the amount of federal and state income taxes generated.
The study also showed that while undocumented workers represented just 5 percent of state and federal service costs, their tax revenue did not offset the amount spent by government. The authors of the study stated that, "the general consensus is that unauthorized immigrants impose a net cost on state and local budgets. However, no agreement exists as to the size of, or even the best way of measuring, that cost at a national level."
In education, which the study notes is the largest single expenditure in state and local budgets, multiple states reported 20 to 40 percent higher costs educating non-English speaking students, many of whom come from the homes of undocumented immigrant parents. Using New Mexico statistics from 2004 as a model, education spending on undocumented immigrants comprised $67 million of the state's $3 billion education budget.
The study estimates there are 53.3 million school-age children in the U.S., 2 million of whom are undocumented immigrants and another 3 million who are legal citizens, but whose parents are not.
Undocumented immigrants are more likely to access emergency rooms and urgent care facilities because most do not have health care, the study said. In Arizona and other border areas, states paid nearly $190 million in health care costs for undocumented immigrants in 2000, the study reported. The amount, which the study says likely has risen since then, represented one-quarter of all uncompensated health care costs in those states that year.
While the report found that undocumented immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated than American natives, it said states still bear a large cost for the legal process. Based on a report from the U.S./Mexico Border Counties Coalition from 2001, counties from the four states that border Mexico spent more than $108 million on law enforcement activities involving undocumented immigrants. San Diego County in California spent nearly half of that, with more than $50 million going into law enforcement activities involving undocumented immigrants.

Arizona's immigration law may spur a
showdown
Gov. Jan Brewer signs a bill that
opponents say encourages racial profiling. President Obama calls the measure
'misguided.' A federal review is underway.
By
Nicholas Riccardi, Los Angeles Times
4:54
PM PDT, April 23, 2010
Arizona
Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed the toughest law against illegal immigration
in the country, shrugging aside warnings from religious and civil rights
leaders — and President Obama — that it would lead to widespread racial
profiling.
Hours after Obama denounced the measure as "misguided," Brewer held a signing ceremony for the bill, which makes it a crime to be in the state illegally and requires police to check suspects for immigration paperwork.
Obama signaled that a legal showdown might be possible and that his administration would "examine the civil rights and other implications" of the law. Department of Justice officials said they "were reviewing the bill" but declined to discuss the legislation further. Immigrant rights groups have vowed a court fight, arguing that regulating immigration is a federal matter.
Brewer, at an afternoon news conference in Phoenix, cast the law in terms of public safety, saying, "We cannot sacrifice our safety to the murderous greed of drug cartels." Brewer said she would order the state police training agency to form guidelines to train officers and protect against racial profiling.
Brewer spent as much time during her remarks talking about diversity and the need to avoid racial profiling as she did about fighting crime and protecting Arizona from illegal immigration. "People across America are watching Arizona, seeing how we implement this law, ready to jump on the slightest misstep," she said.
But the law's opponents were highly skeptical that it could be enforced without police singling out Latinos. One provision of the law prevents police from using race "solely" to form a suspicion about someone's legality, but the law does not prevent race from being a factor.
The bill, SB 1070, landed on Brewer's desk Monday afternoon; she had until Saturday to sign or veto it. The Republican governor, who is advocating a 1% sales tax hike on the ballot next month, faces a tough primary in August. Virtually every Republican in the state Legislature voted for the bill.
Hundreds of high school students left classes this week in protest, pouring into the plaza outside the state Capitol and urging a veto. Religious leaders and police chiefs — and thousands of callers to the governor's office — pressed for Brewer to reject the bill. Some Arizona officials argued it would stigmatize the state much as its past refusal to honor the birthday of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. U.S. Rep. Raul M. Grijalva, a Democrat who represents southern Arizona, called for a convention boycott of his own state.
But a recent poll showed that 70% of state voters supported the measure — even though 53% said it could lead to civil rights violations. Because of that broad support in a state that is the main gateway for illegal immigrants into the United States, people on both sides of the debate have long expected Brewer to sign the bill.
"It's a sad day for the country," said Alfredo Gutierrez, a former Arizona Senate majority leader who fought against the bill. "This is the most oppressive piece of legislation since the Japanese internment camp act" during World War II, he added.
Supporters of the measure were elated.
"Arizona is actually taking the lead in doing what the president is failing to do, which is to protect the interests of the people of Arizona," said Ira Mehlman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. "What the Legislature and Gov. Brewer are saying is, ‘If the president won't do it, we're going to do it ourselves.' "
Unless opponents can stop it with lawsuits, the law will take effect 90 days after the legislative session ends this month or in May.
The law creates the new misdemeanor and requires police to enforce it. The law's supporters argue that fears of widespread racial profiling are overblown and that the measure will instead be used sparingly by police to augment investigations into crimes.
But many of those supporters also cite the office of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose deputies have for years enforced federal immigration laws, as a model for how the rest of Arizona police should operate. Arpaio's office is regularly accused of racially profiling Latinos and is subject to a civil rights investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
"The state of Arizona has turned its back on everything we call American," said Father Glenn Jenks of the Arizona Interfaith Network, one of a wide range of religious groups that urged a veto. "The Hispanic community is already terrorized. Many of them are saying, ‘We're going to get out of here' — and not just illegal immigrants."
In Washington, Obama cited the law during a citizenship ceremony for 24 active-duty service members as an example of why the nation needs a comprehensive immigration overhaul.
"Our failure to act responsibly at the federal level will only open the door to irresponsibility by others," Obama said in the Rose Garden ceremony. "That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and our communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe."
Obama has devoted more energy to passing an immigration bill this year, but the prospects remain dim, with only one Republican senator voicing measured support and some Democrats hoping it gets put off.
In Arizona, officials said they acted because the federal government had failed to secure their border with Mexico, making the state vulnerable to drug traffickers and human smugglers who are blamed in the killing of a rancher on his land in southern Arizona last month.
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, Brewer's predecessor, said the law would hinder federal law enforcement efforts in the state.
"With the strong support of state and local law enforcement, I vetoed several similar pieces of legislation as governor of Arizona because they would have diverted critical law enforcement resources from the most serious threats to public safety and undermined the vital trust between local jurisdictions and the communities they serve," she said in a statement.
State Sen. Russell Pearce, who wrote the legislation, scoffed at Obama's opposition, contending that the president stood "against law enforcement, our citizens and the rule of law."
Gutierrez said Obama's statements heartened activists who were angered by recent federal immigration raids and the lack of an immigration bill in Washington. "People were beginning to feel mighty abandoned by the administration," he said, "and that helped calm it."
Hours after Obama denounced the measure as "misguided," Brewer held a signing ceremony for the bill, which makes it a crime to be in the state illegally and requires police to check suspects for immigration paperwork.
Obama signaled that a legal showdown might be possible and that his administration would "examine the civil rights and other implications" of the law. Department of Justice officials said they "were reviewing the bill" but declined to discuss the legislation further. Immigrant rights groups have vowed a court fight, arguing that regulating immigration is a federal matter.
Brewer, at an afternoon news conference in Phoenix, cast the law in terms of public safety, saying, "We cannot sacrifice our safety to the murderous greed of drug cartels." Brewer said she would order the state police training agency to form guidelines to train officers and protect against racial profiling.
Brewer spent as much time during her remarks talking about diversity and the need to avoid racial profiling as she did about fighting crime and protecting Arizona from illegal immigration. "People across America are watching Arizona, seeing how we implement this law, ready to jump on the slightest misstep," she said.
But the law's opponents were highly skeptical that it could be enforced without police singling out Latinos. One provision of the law prevents police from using race "solely" to form a suspicion about someone's legality, but the law does not prevent race from being a factor.
The bill, SB 1070, landed on Brewer's desk Monday afternoon; she had until Saturday to sign or veto it. The Republican governor, who is advocating a 1% sales tax hike on the ballot next month, faces a tough primary in August. Virtually every Republican in the state Legislature voted for the bill.
Hundreds of high school students left classes this week in protest, pouring into the plaza outside the state Capitol and urging a veto. Religious leaders and police chiefs — and thousands of callers to the governor's office — pressed for Brewer to reject the bill. Some Arizona officials argued it would stigmatize the state much as its past refusal to honor the birthday of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. U.S. Rep. Raul M.

Hispanics
flee Arizona ahead of immigration law
By Alan Gomez, USA TODAY
Arizona's tough new immigration enforcement law is fueling
an exodus of Hispanics from the state seven weeks before it goes into effect,
according to officials and residents in the state.
Though no one has precise estimates, reports from school
officials, businesses and individuals indicate worried Hispanics — both legal
and illegal — are leaving the state in anticipation of the law, which will go
into effect July 29.
Schools in Hispanic areas report unusual drops in
enrollment. The Balsz Elementary School District is 75% Hispanic, and within a
month of the law's passage, the parents of 70 students pulled them out of
school, said District Superintendent Jeffrey Smith. The district lost seven
students over the same one-month period last year, and parents tell Smith the
Arizona law is the reason for leaving.
"They're leaving to another state where they feel more
welcome," he said.
The measure, signed into law April 23 by Republican Gov. Jan
Brewer, requires a police officer to determine a person's immigration status if
they are stopped, detained or arrested and there is "reasonable
suspicion" they are in the country illegally.
About 100,000 illegal immigrants left Arizona after the
state passed a law in 2007 that enhanced penalties on businesses that hired
them, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Some early signs
suggest another exodus.
Businesses serving the Hispanic community say business is
down, signaling that illegal immigrants are holding on to cash in anticipation
of a move from the state, said David Castillo, co-founder of the Latin
Association of Arizona, a chamber of commerce for nearly 400 first-generation
Hispanic business owners.
"(Brewer) signed the law, and everything fell
apart," Castillo said. "It's devastating."
Jorge Vargas plans to move to New York City because his
air-conditioning business relies mostly on Hispanics. "My business is
completely dead," he said.
Juan Carlos Cruz, an illegal immigrant who has worked in
plant nurseries for 20 years, huddled with dozens of relatives over the
Memorial Day Weekend in the backyard of his brother's Phoenix-area home to plot
out the family's next move to avoid what they say will be harassment by police.
Virginia and California are the front-runners.
"If I were alone, I'd try to stay. But I have a family,
and I have to find a place where we can live with more freedom," said
Cruz, who hopes to move July 4 to blend in with holiday weekend traffic.
"This is getting too hard."
Paul Senseman, a spokesman for Brewer, said it's difficult
to gauge how many people are leaving because of the law, but he said he hears
similar reports of people leaving the state.
"If that means that fewer people are breaking the law

Immigration law ignites fear in
Arizona
A new state law requires public
workers to report illegal immigrants who apply for benefits they aren't
entitled to. The attorney general will decide the law's scope.

Reporting
from Tucson
Cristina,
an illegal immigrant living in South Tucson, recently went to a government
office to sign up her children for a state-run Medicaid program.
The boy and girl, ages 7 and 3, respectively, are U.S. citizens and entitled to the benefits. But Cristina, who spoke on condition her last name not be used, was fearful. She'd heard of a new state law requiring public workers to alert Immigration and Customs Enforcement when illegal immigrants apply for benefits they are not legally entitled to.
So when workers asked Cristina, 32, for identification, she fled. She now says she has no way to treat her daughter's liver problems or her son's asthma and impacted tooth.
Cristina, a single mother and part-time house cleaner, is even reluctant to take her children to a hospital emergency room. "I feel so alone," she said.
The new law has terrified the immigrant community here, leading to agonized discussions at schools, churches and community meetings about whether it is safe to get government help in Arizona. The author of the law, state Sen. Russell Pearce, is happy about that.
"I have a hard time having compassion for criminals," Pearce said. "It's about time people started being afraid."
Pearce contends that a large number of illegal immigrants improperly receive public benefits, and his law makes it a misdemeanor for a public worker to fail to report one. The law also allows citizens to sue public agencies if they believe immigrants are receiving improper benefits.
"I want the law enforced," he said. "Every time you pass something it becomes a toothless tiger." He acknowledged that his bill is not supposed to apply to people like Cristina's children, who are legally entitled to federal benefits.
The law took effect in late November, and it is not yet clear what government services it applies to. Some fear it could mean libraries and fire stations are obligated to report illegal immigrants, an interpretation Pearce said is silly.
He said the bill applies only to a range of welfare, Medicaid and other government aid programs that are not already guaranteed to illegal immigrants under federal law.
But many Arizonans are awaiting an opinion from the state's attorney general on the law's scope and which government workers are obligated to report illegal immigrants.
Critics of the law say it creates fear and uncertainty over a problem that doesn't exist.
"It's already the law in Arizona that we cannot give benefits to people who are in the country illegally," said Ken Strobeck, executive director of the Arizona League of Cities and Towns, which unsuccessfully sued to halt the law's implementation.
Experts on both sides of the immigration debate agree that illegal immigrants rarely receive government benefits illegally. Many economists have found that immigrants pay for benefits they receive through taxes, though some studies show a net loss to government.
The main cost to taxpayers comes from the use of public schools or emergency medical care -- benefits guaranteed illegal immigrants under federal law.
Also, children of illegal immigrants who are U.S. citizens are eligible for the same benefits as those of any other citizen, such as food stamps.
"There's not much that Arizona can do about it," said Steven A. Camarota, research director at the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, which favors restrictions on immigration. "The only solution is for us to have fewer illegals and fewer U.S.-born children" of illegal immigrants, he added.
Camarota estimated that families headed by illegal immigrants receive public assistance at about the same rate as families of native-born citizens who lack a high school education. A 2002 study by the Urban Institute found that illegal-immigrant families used benefits at a far lower rate than native-born ones -- for example, 11% of illegal-immigrant families in Los Angeles County used food stamps, compared with 33% of low-income native-born ones.
Randy Capps, who worked on the Urban Institute study and is now at the Migration Policy Institute, said illegal immigrants shy away from government aid. "When you're in an anti-immigrant, hostile environment, like in Arizona, the message is clear that you put yourself at risk with any contact with the government," Capps said.
In 2004, Pearce, a Republican, helped write a ballot initiative that required state workers to report illegal immigrants who receive benefits. But Arizona Atty. Gen. Terry Goddard, a Democrat, interpreted the measure narrowly so the law applied to only a couple of obscure programs.
This year, as the state struggled to address its budget deficit, Pearce inserted language in the budget bill reiterating those requirements. Many immigrant advocates and local officials were unaware of the move until the law took effect. Its impact was swift.
Jennifer Allen, executive director of the Border Action Network here, said the group has been swamped with calls from terrified parents, like Cristina, fearful of seeking benefits for their U.S. citizen children.
"It's sent a shock wave of fear through immigrant communities," Allen said.
The state Department of Economic Services, which administers welfare benefits, has referred to federal authorities more than 750 people who applied for benefits without proof of legal residency. Officials at ICE have not said whether they have taken action on those cases, but stressed that their priorities in deportations lie with violent criminals.
On a recent morning, a group of immigrants sat in the modest offices of the Border Action Network, sharing stories of fearful trips to apply for benefits. Sofia Machado, an English teacher and volunteer at the group, said one of her neighbors had been deported after seeking Medicaid for her U.S.-born children.
Just as Machado finished telling the story, her cellphone rang. The caller's daughter was three months pregnant and had started bleeding, but the caller feared taking her to the hospital. Machado tried to reassure the caller that hospitals should not be checking immigration status.
"There's a lack of information and a panicked ignorance," she said afterward. "Look at the disaster these people have created."

“There
are an estimated 1.5 million school-aged illegal immigrants in the United States and the government
spends an estimated $12 billion annually to educate them. The biggest chunks
are spent by California ($7.7 billion) and Texas ($3.9 billion), where the
situation has become a public education crisis with no end in sight. The Lone
Star State’s public schools have seen a huge increase in illegal immigrant
Hispanic students with dismal Mexican and Central American education histories
that are contributing to an overall lowering of academic standards across the

high cost of illegals in Arizona
Arizona’s illegal immigrant population is costing the
state’s taxpayers even more than once thought -- a whopping $2.7 billion in
2009, according to researchers at the public interest group that helped write
the state's new immigration law.
Researchers at FAIR – The Federation for American Immigration Reform -- released data exclusively to FoxNews.com that show a steady cost climb in multiple areas, including incarceration, education and health, in the last five years.
FAIR’s cost estimates – compiled for a comprehensive national immigration report it plans to release next month – include several new cost areas, including welfare and the justice system, that weren’t in previous reports.
FAIR admits that the cost to implement the new law in some of those categories, such as incarceration, will add to the economic strain on the state. But overall, it says, the loss of immigrants either from the deterrent effect of the law, voluntary exodus or from mass deportations, will help the state financially.
Also, the savings to the state will far overwhelm any fallout from boycotts (estimated at between $7 million and $52 million) being threatened in the wake of the law's passage, according to FAIR spokesman Bob Dane.
FAIR's new breakdown shows that illegal immigrants take $1.6 billion from Arizona's education system, $694.8 million from health care services, $339.7 million in law enforcement and court costs, $85.5 million in welfare costs and $155.4 million in other general costs.
The organization concedes that enforcing Arizona SB1070, the new law that allows local police to ask for immigration documents and arrest those who don’t have them, will increase the state’s incarceration costs, police training budgets and prosecution expenses -- but it says those numbers can’t yet be estimated with certainty. Also, it says, some of those costs will be offset by revenues from fines levied against businesses charged with knowingly hiring illegal immigrants, as well as from immigrants themselves who might be charged with minor crimes and fined before being deported.
But the Immigration Policy Center, a major opponent of the new law, says FAIR's data do not accurately portray SB1070's potential outcome. “They count the costs and don’t look at the benefits. We tend to look at the benefits more closely,” said Council spokeswoman Wendy Sefsaf.
“It is like having a roommate and counting how much they cost in toilet paper and incidentals without looking at the benefits of having help with the rent,” she said.
“Overall, every comprehensive study has shown that immigrants are a net benefit to states. If you add their children, they are a very great benefit.”
The Center’s cost crunching found that "if all unauthorized immigrants were removed from Arizona, the state would lose $26.4 billion in economic activity, $11.7 billion in gross state product and approximately 140,324 jobs,” -- a disaster for the Grand Canyon State.
But FAIR’s numbers tell a far different story.
(Because of the polarizing nature of the debate and the lack of solid figures on everything from the number of illegal immigrants in the state to how to accurately figure their share of the costs, there are no numbers either side agrees on or has not challenged.)
Jack Martin, the chief researcher on the report, says his data, in fact, do include benefits like the estimated $142.8 million in taxes paid by an estimated 500,000 illegal immigrants, and he says the Council’s numbers are unrealistic.
“They assume every illegal alien will leave right away," Martin said. "That is not going to happen.”
He said FAIR'S new estimates far exceed the report he wrote in 2004, which helped gain support for the passage of the Arizona law. In 2004, he said, he estimated that illegal immigrants cost the state $1.3 billion -- less than half the new estimate.
He said the new numbers put a reliable cost estimate on the economic impact of illegal immigration -- not just in Arizona, because the debate there largely ended with the passage of the immigration law, but nationally, as the debate spreads across the country.
”The numbers just keep growing,” Dane said.
Both Dane and Martin said that among FAIR’s most important findings was an estimate that tax revenues to the state will actually increase if illegal immigrants leave.
“We discovered after looking at places where big raids were made that salaries went up after the raids because employers now had to pay competitive wages to Americans.” Martin said. “And that will mean more money for the state.”

Arizona and Indiana
Move Forward With Immigration Enforcement Bills
Faced with rising unemployment and the federal government’s
refusal to enforce our immigration laws, state legislatures are moving to
address these issues on their own. Last week, senate committees in Indiana and
Arizona voted to move forward with two enforcement-oriented bills.
On January 20, 2010, the Indiana Senate Committee on
Pensions and Labor passed Senate Bill (SB) 213 by a unanimous vote of nine to
zero. (Roll Call Vote # 6791,
January 20, 2010). Sponsored by State Senators Mike Delph (R-Carmel),
Phil Boots (R-Crawfordsville), and Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn), SB 213 would
require all state agencies, municipalities, and employers that contract with
state and local government entities in Indiana to use E-Verify. SB 213
would also require the state’s Department of Labor to verify citizenship before
determining eligibility for unemployment benefits and prohibit the enactment of
sanctuary ordinances throughout the state. (Senate Bill No. 213;
Bill Summary;
and Press Release,
January 6, 2010). The bill will now move before the Senate Committee on
Appropriations for further consideration. (Committee Report,
January 21, 2010).
Also on January 20, the Arizona Senate Committee on Public
Safety and Human Services approved SB 1070 by a vote of four to three. (Committee Meeting Video,
January 20, 2010). Entitled the “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe
Neighborhoods Act,” SB 1070 would prohibit Arizona police departments from
adopting sanctuary policies that prevent officers from asking individuals about
their immigration status. SB 1070 would also establish a new state trespassing
statute that would make it illegal for any person to be present on any public
or private land in Arizona in violation of federal immigration law. The bill,
which has drawn support from the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association and the
Arizona Police Association, must now pass the State Senate’s Rules Committee
before receiving consideration before the full Senate. (The Arizona Republic,
January 21, 2010). A similar bill passed the Arizona State Senate last year,
but stalled in the House. (KSWT, January
20, 2010).

Arizona
border security to get an upgrade
by Erin Kelly - Jul. 7, 2011 12:00 AM
Republic Washington Bureau
Republic Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and
other top Obama administration officials will gather in Nogales, Ariz., today
to announce stronger efforts to reduce the flow of illegal drugs, guns and drug
money across the southwestern border.
It will be an update, required by Congress, of a strategy the
administration first announced in June 2009 to combat Mexican drug cartels by
improving intelligence-gathering capabilities along the border, strengthening
U.S.-Mexican law-enforcement cooperation and boosting the use of technology to
detect drugs.
Tthe 2011 Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy at the
Nogales Border Patrol Station, just a few miles from a state-of-the-art fence
that crews are completing in downtown Nogales. She will be joined by Gil Kerlikowske,
director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, and Alan Bersin, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection commissioner.
Although officials would not reveal details about the 2011
strategy, they are sure to tout their efforts as the latest in an unprecedented
push to secure the U.S.-Mexican border.
"While our work is not done, every key metric shows that
these border-security efforts are producing significant results," Grayling
Williams, director of the Office of Counternarcotics Enforcement, said at a
House committee hearing on border security in May. "Border Patrol
apprehensions, a key indicator of illegal immigration, have decreased 36
percent in the past two years and are less than one-third of what they were at
their peak. Seizures of drugs, weapons and currency have increased across the
board. And violent crime in border communities has remained flat or fallen in
the past decade."
But
Republicans say they worry that President Barack Obama's administration is in a
rush to declare the border secure so that it can push for comprehensive
immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship for many of the
estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. Most Republicans oppose
such efforts, calling them amnesty for lawbreakers.
"I don't want to hear a political speech that's going to say
'mission accomplished' and let's move on to comprehensive immigration
reform," said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Homeland
Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations and Management. "If
that's what we hear, then I think the administration is tone deaf."
McCaul said he wants the administration to expand its efforts to
intercept guns and drug money hidden in vehicles headed for Mexico. He also
said he would like to see federal grants to help border sheriffs hire more
deputies. And he wants some of the surveillance technology used by the United
States in Afghanistan to be used on the southwestern border.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said he is eager to hear details of the
administration's updated strategy. He and Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., have
introduced a 10-point border-security plan that includes deploying 6,000
National Guard troops to the southwestern border and hiring 5,000 more Border
Patrol agents by 2016.
Obama has deployed about 1,200 Guard troops to the border,
including about 560 in Arizona. He also has helped to double the number of
Border Patrol agents, which have grown from about 10,000 in 2004 to nearly
21,000 today.
"Despite the administration's false claims that the border is
'more secure than ever,' a recent GAO (Government Accountability Office) report
confirmed that the Border Patrol has operational control of only 44 percent of
the southwest border," McCain said. "I hope that this announcement is
a sign that they are finally taking the situation along our southern border
seriously."
Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said he would like to see the Obama
administration implement some of the practices in the Border Patrol's Tucson
Sector that have been successful in the Yuma Sector. Among them: Operation
Streamline, a program that began under the George W. Bush administration that
mandates an arrest and federal criminal charges for every person who crosses
the border illegally. It targets even first-time crossers who would normally be
routed into a civil-deportation process.
"It used to be the exception to the rule that someone who was
crossing the border was tied to human smugglers or drug smugglers," Flake
said. "Now, many of them are tied to both. They're being smuggled across
by drug cartels who force them to carry drugs to help pay off their fee. It's
far different than it was just a few years ago. It's more dangerous and more
violent."
Bersin said recently that Operation Streamline is being
implemented in the Tucson Sector but that because it has a higher volume of
arrests than the Yuma Sector, escalation takes time and money.
David Shirk, director of the Trans-Border Institute at the
University of San Diego, said the federal government has done about all it can
to ramp up law enforcement at the border. But he said those efforts will do
little to stop the Mexican drug cartels as long as American demand for illicit
drugs remains strong.
"Look at all the resources we've put into law-enforcement
efforts," Shirk said. "Has the reduction in the flow of drugs to the
United States been commensurate with those efforts? I don't think so."
Still, the administration has little choice but to continue, Shirk
said. "I think the Obama administration is trying to show good faith that
it has seriously committed resources to beefing up the border so that it can
get to the broader question of immigration reform," he said. "They
know they can't talk about reform until they've done everything possible to
show that the border is under control."
Shirk said the administration also has a responsibility to the
Mexican government, which has waged war on the drug gangs and has seen more
than 35,000 people die in cartel-related violence.
"The U.S. has to show a credible commitment to Mexico that we
have made an honest effort to deal with the problem of guns and cash coming
from the U.S. into Mexico and to disrupt the flow of drugs north," he
said. "So, it is partly a political necessity for the Obama administration
to take a strong stance."
Still, money spent on increased law enforcement might be better
spent on drug-prevention education and rehabilitation for addicts in the United
States, said Ricardo Ainslie, a psychology professor at the University of
Texas-Austin.
"It would cost us pennies to the dollar on what we're
spending on law enforcement and, in the end, it would probably give us more
control and take the wind out of the sails of the cartels," Ainslie said.
"We're fighting the war with the wrong strategy."

DOJ Lies About Immigration Courts To Hide
Corruption
Last Updated: Tue, 06/07/2011 -
12:11pm
The Department of Justice distorts
figures to hide from Congress pervasive corruption in the nation’s immigration
court system, which allows deportable aliens to evade hearings without
consequences and more than 1 million removal orders to be ignored.
Adding
insult to injury, U.S. taxpayers finance the drove of appeals filed by illegal
immigrants deported for criminal convictions and fraudulent marriages. From
2000 to 2007, Americans doled out $30 million for aliens’ court costs,
according to a new report authored
by a former immigration court judge (Mark H. Metcalf) in south Florida,
considered a hotbed in the system.

BANKSTER-OWNED JOE BIDEN, A WALKING CLOWN.
“During the years that Senator Joseph R. Biden
Jr. was helping the credit card industry win passage of a law making it harder
for consumers to file for bankruptcy protection, his son had a consulting
agreement that lasted five years with one of the largest companies pushing for
the changes, aides to Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign acknowledged
Sunday.”

Why is not the media spalshing this video all over tv
"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!
*
However
LA RAZA does like the AMERICAN WELFARE SYSTEM. The welfare system in the
country is so good that Mexico has dumped 38 million of their poor, illiterate
, criminal and frequently pregnant over our border.
Did
you know that radical immigrant groups – including the League of United Latin
American Citizens (LULAC), the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational
Fund (MALDEF), the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) and the
National Council of La Raza (La Raza) – not only share a revolutionary agenda
of conquering America's southwest, but they also share common funding sources,
notably the Ford and Rockefeller foundations?
*
''California is going to be a Hispanic state," said Mario Obeldo, former head of MALDEF. "Anyone who does not like it should leave." And MEChA's goal is even more radical: an independent ''Aztlan,'' the collective name this organization gives to the seven states of the U.S. Southwest – Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah. So why would the Rockefeller and Ford foundations support such groups? Joseph Farah tells the story in this issue of Whistleblower.

Ariz. Border Sheriff: Obama’s ‘Got His Hands Wrapped Around Our
Throat'
Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County, Ariz. (Cochise County
Sheriff's Department photo)
(CNSNews.com) - Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County,
Ariz. told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama has “got his hands wrapped
around our throat” as his administration sues the state of Arizona for trying
to enforce the immigration laws that the federal government itself will not
enforce.
Dever also said he has “zero confidence” Obama will secure the
border before his presidential term is up in two years and that the president
is putting the people who live and work in Cochise County at risk by willfully
failing to secure that border so that he can maintain political
leverage for his goal of winning an amnesty for illegal aliens.
CNSNews.com videotaped an interview with Dever on Aug. 13, the
same day Obama signed a $600 million bill to provide 1,000 additional Border
Patrol agents. When asked whether he believes Obama actually wants to secure
the border, Dever said that Obama did not want to do so.
“No. He’s as much as said so,” said Dever. “He’s playing the
border security card, holding that, his trump card, to get immigration reform.
And he’s basically said, you’re not going to get the kind of border enforcement
you want, you’re asking for, unless you give me immigration reform.”
Cochise County is one of four counties in the state of Arizona
that is contiguous with the Mexican border. Dever,
a native of the county, was first elected sheriff in 1996 and has worked in local law
enforcement in the county for three decades.
When CNSNews.com asked Dever if he was saying that President
Obama was putting ranchers, other people in his county and the even Border
Patrol agents who worked there at risk by holding off on securing the border
while trying to win an amnesty for illegal aliens, Dever said: “If that’s what
it seems like I’m saying, let me just make it perfectly clear, as the president
likes to say: That’s exactly what I’m saying.”
Asked how much confidence he has that President Obama will
eventually secure the border before his term of office ends in two years, Dever
said: “I have zero confidence in that.”
“While this new funding is welcome, it’s still far short,” Dever
said of the bill the president signed that day. “It’s an improvement, and we
welcome that. But what really irritates me, really irritates me, is that while
throwing out all this money in the government, he’s suing us on the other
hand.”
Dever was referring to the lawsuit brought against Arizona by
the U.S. Justice Department seeking to block an Arizona law enacted earlier
this year that requires local law enforcement officers in Arizona to determine
the immigration status of someone they stop for another reason and then have a
reasonable basis for suspecting may be an illegal alien. In
July, a federal judge issued an injunction blocking enforcement of key
provision of the Arizona law, and it is now on appeal to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
“So, he’s got his hands wrapped around our throat—to use a Gulf
oil—his foot on our throat, to use a Gulf-oil-spill metaphor, and, holding out
a few crumbs in his hand and saying eat this,” said Dever. “Lift the lawsuit,
Mr. President, and drop that thing. Let Arizona take its leadership role like
it’s willing to do. We’ll help. We’ll do more good with that than anything else
that’s going on right now. Other states are getting on board. And then give us
the resources we need

The
Administration's Phantom Immigration Enforcement Policy
According
to DHS’s own reports, very little of our nation’s borders (Southwestern or
otherwise) are secure, and gaining control is not even a goal of the
department.
*
While the official
unemployment rate has climbed from 7.6 percent when President Obama took office
in January to 10 percent today, the administration’s worksite enforcement
strategy has amounted to a bureaucratic game of musical chairs. The
administration has all but ended worksite enforcement actions and replaced them
with paperwork audits. When the audits determine that illegal aliens are on the
payroll, employers are given the opportunity to fire them with little or no
adverse consequence to the company, while no action is taken to remove the
illegal workers from the country. The illegal workers simply acquire a new set
of fraudulent documents and move on to the next employer seeking workers
willing to accept substandard wages.

AZ Sheriff: Why More Troops at Korean Border Than U.S. Border?

·
(CNSNews.com) – Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu
said the Obama administration’s decision to extend the deployment of 1,200 U.S.
National Guard troops along the U.S. border with Mexico until Sept. 30 is
“pandering” and that those numbers “fall far short” of what military power is
needed to keep the country safe.
·
Babeu
noted, for comparison, the 28,500 U.S.
troops [2]
stationed in South Korea to help defend it against North Korean aggression;
U.S. troops have been stationed in South Korea for 58 years.
·
Babeu
is the sheriff of Pinal County in southern Arizona and is on the frontlines
against illegal immigration, human traffickers, drug smugglers, and potential
terrorists. He was named the 2011 National Sheriff of the Year by the National
Sheriff’s Association on Sunday, June 19.
·
“What
are we doing?” Babeu told CNSNews.com by telephone. “We need 6,000 armed
soldiers on our border to protect America. Homeland Security starts at home.”
He was talking about the National Guard.
·
Babeu
said that only 520 guardsmen are deployed in Arizona, a state with a 276-mile
border with Mexico and the state that has, according to [3] the Department of
Homeland Security, the greatest influx of illegal aliens. In 2010,
approximately 212,000 illegal aliens were seized in the Tucson sector of
Arizona – or 47 percent of all illegal aliens taken into custody.
·
“The
gravest national security risk that we face is right here with the unsecure
border with Mexico,” Babeu said. “Right from the beginning, these 1,200
[National Guard] soldiers fall far short from what’s really, truly needed to
achieve a secure border.”
·
Babeu
said that 6,000 troops should be deployed along the U.S.-Mexico border: 3,000
in Arizona and 1,000 in each of the three other border states for a two-year
period.

·
Babeu
also said it was “tremendous” to have received the Sheriff of the Year award,
which he said he accepted on behalf of the 700 men and women who work with him,
the citizens of Arizona and for the state. Babeu added that he believed the
work law enforcement is doing in Arizona also played a role.
·
“I
think it has everything to do with us standing up for America, standing up for
the rule of law and not being shouted down by the president and his men trying
to make like somehow we’re being un-American for enforcing the law and wanting
a secure border,” Babeu said.
·
He
said he thinks President Barack Obama has made race the issue instead of
fulfilling his job of protecting the American people by enforcing immigration
laws.
·
“It’s
not about race, color or national origin,” Babeu said. “It’s about enforcing
the law, Mr. President. That’s our job.”
·
The
White House announced last week that it would extend the deployment for the
1,200 National Guard troops for three more months.

Mexicans
Have Plans for the American Southwest
They vow to take it over
Our southern neighbor is not shy about expressing its
intention to conquer the American Southwest, which Mexico regards as territory
lost in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo in 1846. Mexican children are taught
in school that the United States stole that land, which they call “Aztlan.”
Absurd rantings of political extremists? Consider…
• In 1997, then-President Zedillo proclaimed that “I have
proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed
by its borders. Our superior intellect and ambition will allow us to rule the
nation to the north.”
• Mexican American Legal Defense Fund founder Mario Obledo
stated, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it
should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by
Hispanics in the next 20 years.” People who don't like such demographic changes
“should go back to Europe.” (Incidentally, Mr. Obledo was also the California
Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown.)
• Mexico's President Fox has been unrelenting in his brazen
demands on the United States, starting with open borders even before he was
elected. He has called for the border to be “a joining line.” His visits to the
U.S. have been filled with endless requirements for Mexican citizens illegally
in this country — free food, free healthcare, taxpayer-subsidized in-state
tuition for illegals at state colleges and universities, guestworker programs
and amnesty for all. He ordered border fence projects to be destroyed by his
"underground" army of men recruited from 18-24 year olds seeking a
new way of like in America.
Propaganda distributed as far south as Mexico City declares
"The United States is our enemy. Take back our lands at all costs."
and advertise smuggling operations to gain access to Phoenix, Los Angeles,
Dallas and other large metroplexes where hispanics can blend in.
Encouraged by their leaders in both countries, the 20
million Mexicans in America are similarly emboldened to insist that the United
States surrender to their demands, particularly amnesty which will speed the
acquisition of political power. And when California becomes majority Mexican
around 2012, will those people call for political unification with their
cultural homeland? Their leaders are planning for such a scenario. One Mexican
activist declared "bow down to the Mexican invasion or die. Simple as
that. Our sheer numbers will overwhelm you all"
It's hard to fathom how America's elected Congressional
leaders, those who swore to uphold the Constitution and to protect the nation,
are prepared to give it away for some perceived short-term political gain, if
that. The front man for globalist corporations who currently occupies the White
House is allowing Mexico City to dictate America's immigration policy, while
few in his party object. Does anyone think that Vicente Fox cares about what
happens to America? He sees the United States as a full refrigerator and he is
hungry, very hungry.
Why do American public officials value so little what
thousands have fought and died to protect? A foreign power has stated its plans
to conquer this nation by demographic warfare, but in Washington, apparently no
one cares. One wonders what Secretary of State Colin Powell thinks about
surrending American sovereignty to a foreign power. He was a general in the
U.S. Army and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, after all. Doesn't it bother him to
be following the wishes of a foreign leader? Why does the most powerful nation
in the world cower before the third-world country to the south? Because they
grew soft and want "civil rights" and open borders. LOL
Never a party to be outdone, California’s Democrats are now
pushing their class-warfare tactics to new heights, or depths, depending on how
one examines the issue.
Now in control of every level of state government, they
manifest an abject reluctance to address (let alone acknowledge) their
financial negligence. The governor deflects rumors that he will resign, and
Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson trots around the state campaigning for increased
taxes, seeking a vindication of reality only he can understand.
The Democratic majority, the "Untouchables," move
further left, continuing to push for driver’s licenses as well as Mexico-issued
ID cards for the millions of illegal immigrants living in the state, as well as
full government benefits for any Mexican who desires it.
Late-night comedy shows consistently find material from the
crazy legislation and knucklehead ideas that surface out of Sacramento and
become law. We tend to examine what each of the parties does on a partisan
basis, without any real discussion of who the individual legislators are, what
they believe or what they say. In fact, very few people in California can even
name their assembly person or state senator.
This piece examines what several very powerful California
politicians have revealed in their own words, perhaps divulging where ultimate
loyalties reside, using words many would consider incendiary and racist. If one
definition of loyalty is "faithful in allegiance to one’s lawful government,"
then we may have some real problems on our hands.
The outward appearance of California Democrats actually
performing the job they raised their right hand and swore to do is both a myth
and a strategy.
The myth is that they are looking out for the public’s best
interest. The strategy is to thrust new taxes upon the public to pay for
services for illegal immigrants, knowing the "brotherhood of silence"
in the press has rubber-stamped a Hispanics-as-victims script that trumps
neutral pursuit of facts. Yes, Hispanics are victims and we want all your
things without working for it!
If this party had even a modicum of concern for both the
financial and security interests of California, it would engage in an honest
and open debate about the costs and sustainable assimilation of immigrants,
most of whom are decent people, balanced against the overwhelming burdens on
strapped taxpayers, enforcement of immigration law, and the legitimate threats
posed by porous borders. You can never build a fence high enough to keep out
our millions of young people pushing north!
Pictures From Below the Surface
The following quotes show these Democrats' true feelings.
Art Torres, California Democratic Party chairman, at the
Latino Summit Response to Prop 187 at U.C. Riverside (Jan. 14, 1995):
"Power is not given to you, you have to take it! People
say to me when I was on the Senate floor, when I was in the Senate, why do you
fight so hard for affirmative action programs. And I tell my white colleagues:
because you're gonna need them. Remember, 187 is the last gasp of white
America. Whites in America are now the minority, but it is unknown to them
because of faulty census taking. You need to watch your back."
Antonio Villaraigosa, former speaker of the California State
Assembly and present Los Angeles City Council member-elect, discussing Prop 187
with a KABC-TV, Los Angeles reporter (July 29, 1999):
Reporter: "What happens to the will of the
people?"
Villaraigosa: "Well, the will of the people is
something all of us have to respect, but when the will of the people is
unconstitutional, the will of the people is null and void. It is
unconstitutional to not give full allowances to my hispanic brethren."
Mario Obledo, former California secretary of health and
welfare and co-founder of Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund
(MALDEF), interviewed on radio station KIEV, Los Angeles (June 17, 1998):
"We're going to take over all the political
institutions of California. California is going to be a Hispanic state and
anyone who doesn't like it should leave. If they [Anglos] don't like Mexicans,
they ought to go back to Europe. Whites go home! Mexicans now rule here!"
Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors,
speaking at the 1997 Southwest Voter Registration Education Project:
"We demand to be counted. And what we know as well is
that the big giant that they keep talking about is awakening. And he's pretty
angry about what's going on. Ya basta! [Enough!] This community is no longer
going to stand for it. … And our vote is going to be important. But I gotta
tell you that a lot of people are saying, 'I'm going to go out there and vote
because I want to pay them back. I want revenge for what was taken from my
forefathers. California is ours again.'"
Pay who back?
Fabian Nunez, California assemblyman, at the Latino Summit
Response to Prop 187 at U.C. Riverside (Jan. 14, 1995):
"Each of you, get ten people to go with us on that
march in Washington, D.C., and I guarantee you just as we mobilized 150,000 to
the streets of Los Angeles on October 16, we will mobilize 1 million people and
bring Washington to a standstill, and those rednecks that are out there making
decisions for the betterment of their communities will think twice before they
push forward anti- immigrant legislation against our community. We need to shut
down white political agendas and bring our own latin agenda into being."
State Sen. Nell Soto, D-Ontario, June 25, 2003, San
Bernardino Town Hall meeting to discuss SB60, the bill that would grant
driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, responding to critics who say the
legislation promotes illegal immigration:
"Guess what?" Soto said. "The immigrants are
already here. I welcome them. I hope they keep coming. They are my brothers and
sisters. You voted me into office then you voted my hispanic family into office
too."
Do any of these quotes strike anyone as marginally racist or
irresponsible?
'Since We Stole It, Let Them Steal It Back'
On June 17, I watched an incredible exchange during the
legislative hearing over the Matricula Consular card (SB522) introduced by
Manny Diaz, D-San Jose. The bill would require every state public officer or
employee to accept, for identification purposes, the card as equivalent to a
California driver’s license or ID card issued by the DMV.
Statements in favor included MALDEF, La Raza, the League of
California Cities, the City of Los Angeles, and The Friends Committee on
Legislation.
When the speaker stated "Opposition to the Bill?"
a clearly audible "Oh God, same white jerks" could be heard by all.
Statements opposed included several law enforcement and
police organizations and the Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform
(FAIR). Yeh Ling-Ling, the executive director of the Diversity Alliance for a
Sustainable America (DASA), stated:
"It frightens me to see that our government is
accepting ID cards issued by foreign governments. For example, in the land of
my ancestry, China, the level of fraudulent documents is very high. Let’s say from
the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, where I lived, with money you can buy
basically anything. Including documents. Yes, for just $10 USD you can get a
fraudulent Mexican ID card but who cares? Would you be able to tell us apart
anyways? I could give my ID card to my son, father, cousin, uncles, neighbors.
And you would not tell us apart! VIVA!
"After the bombings [Sept. 11], I urged Congress to
protect our borders. Very few congressional members listened. After the
bombings, where thousands of people died, people were saying, it was
unthinkable. Please, think of the list of what Mexico has been trying to do.
What Mexican-American leaders, what many of them, have said. Mario Obledo said
in 1998, quote, ‘eventually we are going to take over all the political
institutions of California. You will not close the borders of Mexico and the
USA. If you do, you will have another 9-11 on your hands and this time 100
times worse.’
"They said publicly that they are going to use
immigration to control the Southwest, retake the Southwest, and eventually,
take over the entire U.S. So please listen to those statements carefully."
Interruption by State Sen. John Vasconcellos, D-San Jose:
"Since we stole it from them, why do you say it’s unfair to steal it back
from us? This was my grandfather's land and now it is my land. My people are
welcome here."
Yeh Ling-Ling: "I’m sorry?"
Vasconcellos: "We stole it from them in the first
place."
Yeh Ling-Ling: "Exactly what do you want to have
happen?"
Vasconcellos: "I found your testimony (shaking his
head, putting his glasses down) … I don’t want to debate you."
Yeh Ling-Ling: (with a questioning look)
"Exactly?"
Vasconcellos: "I don’t want to debate you. I’ve
listened to what you’ve had to say, period. No more conversation. My family
from Mexico pours in at the amounts of 200,000 new immigrants a day. This is
unstoppable and unfathomable to you."
Since nobody in the chamber voiced any objection to
Vasconcellos’ remarks, the reasonable inference is, yes, the Left is moving
even further left, and American legislators like Vasconcellos believe that
since Mexico was stolen by the U.S., there really isn’t anything to debate.
It should be noted as well that Ling-Ling has been
confronted by other California Democrats while delivering similar testimony.
Recently, during a hearing on SB60 (driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants),
Sen. Nell Soto castigated Ling-Ling in a manner similar to Vasconcellos’,
stating that her remarks were "blatantly racist," had no place at a
legislative hearing and "really insulted the intelligence of some of us
here."
Ling-Ling, whose group is based in Oakland, responded from
the audience: "They were quotes, OK, from Mexican-American leaders."
What could Soto say? It was an embarrassing moment for SB60
backers.
We All Need to Remember Our History
There are as many arguments that promote integration and
assimilation as promote separatism. What we need to be well aware of is the
history nobody can deny. In a nutshell, and not to oversimplify:
1821: Spain accepts Mexican independence.
1836: Texas breaks free of Mexican rule. White people are
slaughtered by the thousands around San Antonio.
1846-48: Mexico loses much of its territory in the
Mexican-American War. Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo signed.
1867: American Union Army assists Mexico’s Benito Juarez, a
democratic reformer, removes France from Mexico.
1910: Mexican Revolution.
1914: U.S. Marines enter Veracruz. Marines list Mexicans as
the "#1 threat to our security"
1916: U.S. chases Pancho Villa out of New Mexico, thru El
Paso.
1938: Mexico nationalizes PEMEX. Cardenas and Roosevelt sign
Good Neighbor Policy. Mexico gets a handout of 200 million dollars in a peace
treaty
1960s: Tourism industry thrives, Mexican nationalism rises.
Mexico earns 500 billion a year in white tourism
1971: U.S. imposes 10 percent tariff on all imports, hurting
Mexico, which sends almost 70 percent of its exports to the U.S. Riots ensue.
Illegal imports become the norm.
1980s: Mexico supports nationalist movements in Nicaragua
and El Salvador. U.S. drug war creates mutual tensions. Mexico begins a huge
drug trafficing and trade. Gangs begin to form.
1995: Devastating Mexican peso devaluation. Mexican money
now worth 1/1000 it used to be. Corruption ensues.

2003: Mexican
population in U.S. reported to have increased 10 percent in just three years,
mostly as a result of illegal immigration. Mexicans encouraged to breed at all
costs. "A baby a year" Mexican pride slogan emerges
History is never pretty, but ultimately, each nation is
responsible to its own citizens first (the U.S. apparently excepted). Since
Mexico is unable to reform its endemic corruption, forcing the majority to live
in poverty and squalor, it exports its economic problems to the U.S., then
blames the U.S.
California is a state where many schools today, as a policy,
suppress references to our nation’s Founding Fathers. Portraits of George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson are prohibited. In San Francisco, a student
needs a lawyer to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Instead, Mexican flags hang
on par with every US flag. Founding fathers if shown must include Mexican
founding fathers. "God" must be left out of any office, quote, court,
or school.
To these ingrates, some wisdom and common sense from Thomas
Paine ("Common Sense," March 21, 1778):
"To argue with a man who has renounced the authority of
reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like
administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by
scripture."
Our laws, and generosity with taxpayer dollars, are
literally inviting Mexico’s poor to migrate to California at a time when we
claim to be broke, while we increase border enforcement and deportations. It’s
an absolutely crazy situation.
Meanwhile, back in Sacramento, the place where race is
everything, laws are pushed to make the situation worse. And nobody will talk
about it, except perhaps those who claim California belongs to Mexico. Too
late, suckers, way too late. How do you deport 40 million people?
The irony in all this is that the "progressives"
actually want to go backward in history to find justification to correct past
injustices and keep their followers on the plantation.
"Conservatives" want to be realistic about where we are today and go
forward, but are accused of being stuck in the past. Go figure.
Until the dishonesty and tactical bluster cease, California
is at serious risk of becoming a Third World entity, and the longer Democrats
are in power, the more businesses will continue to flee the state, the more
wealthy taxpayers will relocate and the more our standard of living will
continue to decline.
The country knows few Democrats who can sustain an argument
in favor of the policies of their party. But they know many who will sling the
mud when reason, fact and common sense fail. All the reason why "Throw the
white bums out!" has become California’s new pastime.
