Burning Atlanta

We all know the drill. The guy that released this information will be attacked as a racist, insensitive, etc.. and they'll claim his facts are all wrong. In fairness, this is just one side of the coin as it doesn't guestimate how much illegals pay in taxes. BUT I've heard this "They're good for the economy" argument until I'm ready to barf. Let me put it to those, that try to make that argument, this way: If they're SOOOO great for the economy then the best thing we can do for the economies of their native countries is to ship their butts back.

Cash sent back to Mexico from their nationals living here is their second largest source of revenue, oil revenue being number one. My take: a "fence" has been proven to be VERY effective in some areas. No, a fence won't keep all illegals out but it can cut down the numbers. But whether it's a fence or a string, without adequate manpower, it's a waste. ALSO, what would be more effective than a fence or fixing Mexico, is cutting off the incentives that compel people to crash our borders. Primarily, that means cutting off the jobs. Fox just spews the typical tripe. It's almost like "Gee, we're doing you a favor by breaking your laws and you should be happy to get us."

I shouldn't tease or mock but I can't help myself. You need to understand that this isn't the only forum where I discuss illegals. I am a regular member of an online debate club.

I read these stories aLL the time. "Oh, we couldn't survive without 'immigrant' labor." MY ASS. How did this country ever survive without all these millions of illegals? Who did all those jobs? The answer is not importing more cheap labor, the anser is going up on wages which none of these "farmers" wants to do. They've got a good deal using illegals and they don't want anything to change that. And these politicians are happy to sell out the nation to keep Mr. Greenjeans, etc.. happy.

Nearly every attempt at enforcing the laws or making life here less comfortable for illegals is met with cries to the heavens and lawsuits. The entitlement mindset is mind boggling.

I hate these articles because of what they don't say, leaving me to play fill in the blanks. I assume the illegal stopped at some point. Else, I would think he would be charged with additional crimes. The answer to illegals driving on our roads is NOT to give them licenses. The answer is to cut off all licenses and put in mandatory immigration screening for those driving without them. Then, deport their butts.

This should be the law of the land. My understanding is that if you happen to forget your license the police can run you thru their computers and determine if a valid license has been issued to you. Hence, you may get a ticket but not have your car impounded. I'll check on this with a cop I know. He can't speak for Escondido but he can tell me what SOP is for Atlanta. Anyway, listen to the usual racial profiling BS. EVERYTIME there's any enforcement in this country, that results in illegals paying a price, the deceitful whiners pull out their crying towels.

One aspect of the illegal immigration issue that has always perplexed me is the attitude that illegals think they are entitled to be here.

This gets sooo funny, in a sad sort of way. Illegals and their supporters have a screaming fit everytime there's any enforcement of our immigration laws. I really believe much of it has to do with the fact that they've had a free ride for much too long. It's like having a stretch of highway with a 55MPH speed limit that's never enforced. Then, one day, the police start writing tickets and the violators start whining to the heavens because they've gotten away with speeding for ages. How unfair. tsk...tsk...tsk..

DENVER—A federal judge Friday threw out a lawsuit by the state alleging the government failed to do enough to stop illegal immigration.

A day after federal attorneys asked that the lawsuit be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock did so, agreeing that the matter wasn't up to the courts.

Babcock also said the state didn't have legal standing to sue, meaning it couldn't show injury as a result of federal actions or that any injury suffered was connected to federal actions. Bullshit.

(yawn) No, I don't advocate the police violating anyone's "rights." But, in the scheme of things, I think this is a joke. IF I'd had a fugitive in my home I shouldn't be surprised if the police show up looking for him/her.  My understanding is that ICE doesn't enter a home without permission. In the course of police work, if they don't have a warrant to enter then they need probable cause or permission. So, I'm no lawyer but that's my understanding. Could this be some contrived BS? Don't know, but I do know that nearly every effort at enforcement has been met with cries of "racism" and "violating the rights of " somebody.

Thanks, Border Patrol

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - Federal border patrol agents have arrested eleven Mexican nationals suspected of working illegally in Montana.

Agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection were patrolling in Billings Thursday afternoon. They stopped to investigate after seeing a group of 7 Hispanic men getting out of a minivan with out-of-state plates.

Spokesman Alex Harrington said the men identified themselves as Mexican nationals and said they were members of a construction crew working on a new medical facility.

Shortly thereafter, a second group of men pulled into the parking lot. After interviewing the four, agents determined they were in the country illegally, too. They said they were working on a painting crew.

Keep in mind that the AJC is about as biased and liberal a paper as any in the country. Also, they own Mundo Hispanico, a large circulation paper targeted at Hispanics. The underlying theme in this article is the "OMG. What about the economy" crap the pro-illegals ALWAYS use. Gee, surprised they didn't weave in a couple of "Boo-hoo, what about the children" bits.

My only problem with vehicle impoundment laws is if they're being used to build up city funds. In short, are the fines so high that it equates to an unfair and excessive tax?

Seems some environmental types didn't want to touch that one, too political, but others have no problem denouncing the fence to help keep illegal out. I'm still of the opinion that enforcing our laws against employers and getting rid of other rewards for illegals will have a much larger impact than a wall.

None of the current events by the government make any sense. There must be some plan but it escapes me.  I could speculate but I'll wait a little longer and, no doubt,  it will become crystal clear. My confusion is based on the following facts:

Good. I'd like to see every weak-kneed pro-amnesty type tossed. I'd like to see some Americans who are willing to take a stand for this nation.

Every little bit helps. The more that get shipped out, and tell others that the tide is turning, the fewer might want to make the trip.

It doesn't get much lower and, sadly, it's not the first time I've heard of this. I didn't see it mentioned if any of the indicted were also illegal aliens.

This is another reason I support some serious protection of our borders. I know, we all know, that this country can't keep everyone out that wants to sneak in. But this country can, and should, do a helluva lot better job than what we've seen so far. Even if you're the most bleeding-heart pro-amnesty type you'd probably see a need to keep some people out of this country. Specifically, criminals that have already been deported. This article didn't give the details concerning this guy's previous offenses.

Thank you, officers.

Kingsport police corporal Tim Horne handed 10 illegal aliens over to Department of Homeland Security Immigration Customs Enforcement officials after stopping a green Ford Expedition with Georgia tags for speeding on I-81 at the 57 mile marker around 8 a.m. Wednesday.

(yawn) It gets so predictable and so old.

But, as we know, they'll be the typical screams of "racial profiling" and how "the police aren't supposed to be immigration agents and are overstepping their bounds." I expect the ACLU, Maldef, etc.. to file some kind of suit over this. I hope they lose.

Yeah, it's always an alleged offense until they're found guilty. yawn. Seems there are a few violent females out there.

Protesting is fine with me. Protest your tails off. Protest until you puke. But at the end of the day, look into plane and bus fare.

This strikes me as bogus as hell but that's for the courts to decide. I don't support anybody getting singled out or treated differently because they have a better tan than anyone else.

Sometimes I mention that we're not the only country that has problems with illegals. France goes so far as paying some to leave. but this is a new twist.

This is a given. Just because they may pass some more rules it doesn't equate to more deportations NOR do new rules equal more enforcement. We're talking bite not just bark.

This has a couple of spins that I need to point out and they come from both sides.

Or, "When is it wrong to try and feed your family or help them to a better life?" It's "wrong" when you break the law. How many times have you heard the "starving family" alibi? Like a million times. There's no doubt that money drives this problem.  And there's no doubt that some gate-crashers came from beyond dirt poor. But the starving family alibi is really a lot of BS rhetoric. I bring this up, again, because I just got into another long debate and had to look it up to slap somebody in the face.

I've changed my mind on a "fence," kinda. No doubt, it's very needed and proven very successful in some areas. But I really believe that manpower and some serious job site enforcement will have a more dramatic effect.

This is ANOTHER skimpy article that doesn't mention a couple of things I'd like to know. Was the officer on duty and on his police motorcycle? Did the accused have prior arrests? Said he was driving on a suspended license but suspended for what? Did anyone bother checking his immigration status or report him to ICE? There was a local officer/deputy killed by an illegal in Marietta/Smyrna about a year ago. He was on his way to work. I don't know what happened to the accused in that case.

I've mentioned before how it saddens me to see men such as McCain slip into the furry abyss of weaseldom. This guy started doing a little dance when he was getting his ass chewed off over the immigration issue while he was stumping. He tried to distance himself from the McCain/Kennedy bill but then he jumped right in the middle of the last attempted amnesty. At one event, when getting attacked by the citizens over the issue, he went so far as saying Americans wouldn't pick lettuce even  for $50 an hour. That went over like a lead balloon. And, now, he goes back to talking tough about securing the border but still pushes a Guest worker program even though we have many.

I don't want to see their "Rights" violated. I want them to be tossed as nicely as possible. Don't go away mad, just go away.

No suprise. The American people are fed up. What was a problem most noticeable along border states has become a problem over the whole nation. The article does point out something I should reiterate every other post.

You have any idea how Mexico bans any foreign protest or denuncuiation of their politics? They go into tantrums. But they have no problem trying to interfere with our system or politics.

I like this sheriff. He has the right attitude. But pay attention to the typical, pad, playbook response from the pro-illegal crowd.

Seems I'm not the only one that doesn't think our government has any intention of getting serious about enforcing the immigration laws.

Another little tidbit about enforcement.

I keep harping on this: Crime is everyone's concern and illegal aliens are criminals. Some what to split hairs on that. So, for the hair-splitters, most illegals are criminals and all of them are violating our laws.

I don't quite get this. My understanding is that any illegal, unless already under a deportation order, can ask for a hearing and plead whatever excuse for why he/she shouldn't be deported. It's also my understanding that if they simply agree to a voluntary deportation it won't count against them as much as going thru the legal process and being tossed anyway. So, why the stalling tactic?

As they said they would, the AFL-CIO filed suit and a judge halted the letters going out. Mind numbing. But, as I believed, this government has no intention of seriously enforcing our immigration laws. But we'll see how this plays out. To me, it's totally ridiculous the excuses the anti-letter groups are trying to sell. Let me share something from a personal experience: Former girlfriends son applied at a Target store. Seems they may have been on the Basic Pilot program because they told him there was a problem with his SSN. So, he had to go to a SSA office and get it straightened out. BIG DEAL. Turns out, according to the impression he got, some illegal was using his number. If I found out that my SSN wasn't being credited for my work I'd want to know about that and get it fixed, pronto.
