Burning Atlanta

I don't know all the numbers. Originally, there were supposed to be 6,000. I think it may have hit that level for a short time. They aren't there to arrest illegals, they're there to do back-up work. Sadly, their numbers have been cut way down and I think the last of them are scheduled out before long.

I thought the initial 500 million out of 1.4 billion was a done deal. Seems Congress still has to approve it. I have very mixed feelings about this. Yes, we are, in large part, the reason they have such a huge problem with drug cartels, etc..  BUT we have to pay for their drug war? Why don't they take all the money they confiscate to pay for helicopters and equipment? In this country, like in my county, if the Sheriff's department makes a large cash seizure they get to keep some/most of it. Trust me, the local deputies all drive nice new cars. They make plenty of seizures from the interstate transportation of drugs and money.

Just wanted to take a step back for a moment and see the big picture. As we know, apprehensions are down along the southern border. They dropped 20% last year and another 17% so far this year. Some credit that to our slowing economy, some credit it to more and more states taking a harder stand against illegals, and some credit tougher enforcement along the border. As most agree, despite how the jobs are lost, jobs are the number one incentive. No jobs, fewer reasons to come.

Here, there are nice paved streets, street lights, hospitals, schools, good police and fire departments, etc.. Would you want to go back? More likely you'd want your family to join you, here.

What we're witnessing around the country is that when one locality passes anti-illegal laws, and the illegals leave to adjacent areas, those adjacent areas start talking about the problem. Some pass their own laws targeting illegals. In this instance, illegals are leaving one county and moving to adjacent ones and those counties are trying not to enact new laws.

I dumped cable TV years ago. Yes, I miss a lot of entertainment and information but I spend so much time on the computer that a TV only prvides background noise. Point being I don't watch Dobbs. I do see some of his takes and parts of his shows via computer. I do know this, the pro-illegals hate his guts. Most of the hatred seems to be that he focuses part of his shows on the insanity around illegal immigration. So sad, too bad. the truth hurts and the pro-illegals hate truth. That's why they dance all around the word "amnesty" and prefer "undocumented" instead of "illegal."

I'm of the opinion that the single WORST thing the pro-illegals ever did was have those massive protests of years past. I've read that many in the pro-illegal movement feel the same. Seeing hundreds of thousands of pro-illegals and illegal aliens marching, as they waved foreign flags, and DEMANDED their "rights" was a little much for the American people to swallow. Personally, I think it pissed a lot of people off. At later marches the word went out to bring more American flags and lay off with the foreign flags but the later demonstrations didn't gain a lot of support. I don't think the next demonstrations will get much support, either. Perhaps with a couple of exceptions. Maybe in a few cities like L.A. Maybe. I've been wrong lots of times but I'm not seeing it.

This is a good thing. I've posted about some area of the border where smugglers aren't even federally prosecuted for hauling up to 500 pounds of marijuana. Commony, illegal Mexicans are simply IDed and sent back. OTMs may be held before being deported to their home countries. Some areas started prosecuting illegals but were targeting those that had priors. Those areas have seen/are seeing a reduction in crosseros. So, initially, the prosecutions strain the sustem because they're trying to prosecute more people BUT, as word spreads, there will be fewer illegals to prosecute.

I've heard this excuse a few too many times. "Illegal immigration is a federal matter and we're not getting involved." The reality is that our federal government has done a non-job on illegal immigration for a very long time. That's why there's a growing list of states and localities that are stepping up to the plate. Some dodge the issue claiming they can't afford to get involved, but others see that they can't afford not to get involved.

Accused filth

Vargas was pronounced dead at the scene. Shortly after the shooting, a Gainesville Police Officer spotted an orange pickup truck traveling south on Atlanta Hwy. The officer took the driver into custody and turned him over to Sheriff's Investigators for questioning.

Tepanca, has been charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. A 287g detainer has also been placed on him due to his immigration status. He is currently being held without bond at the Hall County Jail.

Another senseless murder ALLEGEDLY at the hands of an illegal. I read some of this story the other day but didn't post it because they didn't clearly identify either assailant as an illegal. Even now, they say nothing about the immigration status of the guy that's in custody.

I just finished reading several BS pieces from pro-illegal/pro-plantation owner writers. One piece was at the Washington Post. For those of you who don't know, there are certain newspapers that are VERY agenda driven on the issue. Typically, they spew all the standard playbook pro-illegal rhetoric I've heard a million times. And you know what destroys their arguments? FACTS. They hate facts. They, especially, hate facts that rip their arguments to pieces. They avoid those facts at all cost. I did take the time to email one writer, whose piece appeared in the Atlanta paper, and ripped him to shreds, with the FACTS.

The drill goes something like this: The fed isn't paying for illegals that are being held in local custody for local crimes. They only pay if the illegal is being held awaiting ICE and, even then, the fed isn't vey good at compensating the locals. So, the local communities are having to eat a lot of the costs. South Carolina is looking at 3 regional holding facilities for illegals to get them on the fed's back and off of theirs. Whatever it takes, whatever works. But my slant is that the fed should be absorbing the costs associated with holding, housing and feeding illegals. It should not fall on the state unless they are in state custody for a state crime. And, even then, the fed should comp them something. If the fed had caught the slimeballs then they wouldn't be running around committing more local crimes.

Excellent, BUT this should be the law of the land. EVERY jail in this nation should screen EVERY arrestee and report them to ICE if they are illegally in this country. My problem with Georgia's laws is they only screen and report those arrested for felonies and DUI. Why not everyone?

This is great news and a huge slap in the face to Chief Bratton and other political candy asses.  The part of Special Order 40 that riles many is that the police can't do jack about an illegal, say one that the officer knows was deported, unless there's another crime involved AND that goes for those stopped for other infractions. Cop pulls a green Buick over. The passengers are all known illegal gang-bangers that have been previously arrested. The officer can't do jack. He/she isn't even supposed to notify ICE. It's only AFTER arrests are made for certain offenses do the police make note that the arrestee is an illegal then it's on the detectives going over the reports to teletype ICE.

This is sickening but they're not the only ones. This is the mentality of our government and many pro-illegals. A scum businessman trying to save money by hiring illegals doesn't give a damn about their background. They don't screen them to weed out rapists, murderers, child molesters, etc.. because they don't care. All they care about is getting good, CHEAP, labor. My 2 cents: If an employer knowingly hires an illegal, and that illegal commits a crime, then the employer should be charged as an accomplice to that crime.

And another one bites the dust. The bad part, from some other states that have recently passed laws that require proof of legal residency, is that these laws  don't kick in until 2009 or later and/or doesn't affect those that already have licenses. Hence, somebody that has a license that doesn't expire for 8 years is safe until then. One state did a screening and if the information didn't jibe they gave the holder X days to get it straightened out of their license was voided. Good idea.

For those that don't know, and even I get confused about all the different visas and nuances associated with them, these visas are supposed to be for semi-skilled, non-ag, seasonal workers.

The kicker is, they don't even know if he's a citizen, a visa holder, or an illegal alien. I would think a visa requires fingerprints but I don't know that. So, it kind of narrows it down.

Another of my pet peeves. I don't think most people are aware of this and, if so, it wouldn't have gone on for so long. Very simply, immigrants, both legally and illegally in this country, are subject to deportion. Legal immigrants can violate whatever laws and their visas are revoked. Hence, some immigrant might enter this country, kill multiple people, molest however many children, serve a sentence and , then, be released back on our streets because their home coutries refuse to take them.

We live in a society that has low-life, multi-generational, SCUM who adhere to concepts of existance that we can't even comprehend. I've made the same kind of observations about other areas and cultures in this world. We, commonly, make the mistake of trying to apply our concepts to people in the Mid-East, and elsewhere. "OUR' scales don't apply. They have a whole different outlook on life.

I blogged about this jerk a while back. Another good, hard-working, immigrant showing a total contempt of our laws and scamming the system. Also notice, as I've said in the past, sometimes the least amount of enforcement can have dramatic effects. This guy should be fined his last American dollar and deported.

Sorry, I don't trust her or her boss, Chertoff. Talk is cheap. After, recently, seeing the HUGE (cough) number of about 4,000 worksite arrests, in all of 2007, it's hard for me to take them seriously. Yeah, there were a total of about 300,000 deportations but I'm not sure what illegals made up that number. Those deported after being arrested for other offenses?

This is what I've been preaching for ages, "Every jail in this country should screen every arrestee as to their immigration status." WHY the jails aren't tied into the immigration database doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I don't understand because I'm not well informed on the matter but, on its face, it sounds nuts.

Sadly, the only stat we have to go by on the numbers of illegals crossing our borders is from the Border Patrol. The reality is that many factors can play into this number. Anyway, I'm very happy to see this kind of drop and my wish is to see such a drop along the whole of our borders. Last year they reported a 20% drop in the number of crossers along the whole border. I've predicted an even sharper drop this year.

Nasty. This happens here and there around the country. Inspectors shut down a food distributor because they run a shithole. The difference here is that the shithole employed a bunch of illegals that lived in shit and were, seemingly, exploited all to hell. Hope they find the owner, soon.

For the purpose of accuracy, I'll assume the piece to be accurate insofar as saying it was Culver City, not LAPD, that let the alleged killer loose. I don't care. EVERY jail in this country should screen every arrestee as to their immigration status. And if L.A. maintains a "Don't ask/Don't Tell" policy then they're contributing to the needless deaths and injuries of Americans at the hands of illegals. I'd have to look it up but it seems that the sheriff's department does do some screening but I don't remember. Some jails have ICE officers working along side the deputies but often only on a part-time and limited way.Give me a while, I'm fading today.

This is funny beyond words. Mexico is complaining because of the strain their people are putting on the system. They've been shipping their problems north for a very long time and now they're whining because their people are returning?  Did they give a damn about the strain their illegals put on this nation? HELL NO! Some have an attitude that they have the right to be here and they're doing us a favor by breaking our laws and ignoring our borders.

I've read a few bits and pieces about this. The short take is that the federal government is about to cut off a piddly reimbursement program to hospitals for illegals, and other non-payers. To my knowledge, few, if any, hospitals really keep good records on how many illegals they treat. Illegals get run thru the mill like everybody else. BUT it's sickening to know that the US just sent Mexico about 500 million to help them get a handle on their crime and drug problems and wants to send about 900 million more.

I continually preach about every jail in this country screening for illegals. More localities are signing up for the 287(g) program. It's a great tool to weed out illegals. Of course, every pro-illegal group opposes every effort to toss illegals and they always use the standard playbook responses. "Spreading fear in the immigrant community...immigrants will be afraid to report crimes..." Heard it a million times. The fact is that enforcement works and will save more that it cost.

Breaks my heart. But, again, why aren't we seeing more stories about the employers being charged? We all know the drill. We know how the employers scream that they aren't document experts and didn't know the employees were illegals. We know these employers are lying their asses off, but they get away with it.

I'm surprised ANY states still issue driver's licenses to illegals but there are still a few left. I'd have to look them all up but New Mexico, Maine, Hawaii, Washington, and Utah come to mind. Utah, as I recall, is going to issue a separate "driving permit" to illegals. The pro-illegals ALWAYS use the same bullshit excuses. More on that in a second.

All this does is PROVE what people like myself have been screaming for ages, "Cut off the jobs." No reason to think we need to round-up 12-20 million gate crashers. Cut off the jobs and they'll leave on their own. In this instance it's mainly due to a downturn in construction.

Nothing new here, happens all the time. Some dirtbag, who's not even supposed to be here, gets arrested and prosecuted for whatever crime, then  gets deported, then he's back. We need some serious tent jails along the border. This jerk shouldn't get off so easy, he should do some time.

I really don't know how bad the abuse of our visa system is but I'm certain that it's worse than most of us will ever know.

This is so bogus and phoney it defies belief but this is the kind of crap that we see in politics and the issue of illegal aliens. The union and pro-illegals put together their own "commission" to hear "testimony" from their own people. Of course ICE didn't go. The "commission" was bogus as hell. What's sad, as the headline of this story shows, is that newspapers and others will pick it up and try to make political hay. "Commission finds abuses of immigrants at the hands of ICE agents..."

I'm trying to avoid using the buzz words "raids" and "sweeps" because they aren't accurate. These operations are targeting immigrants that have been ordered deported but are still here.

Groan. I think I read about this the other day and some judge allowed his suit to go forward but the jury killed it. The story goes something like he's an illegal, he's broken all sorts of minor laws, and compalined because the cops reported him to immigration. Now, the best thing that can happen is for him to be deported.

We hear people like Bill Gates saying he can't get enough high tech employees then we see a video of lawyers telling business how to cheat the system to bring in higher skilled workers for cheap. We hear how illegals from Mexico pay smugglers several thousand dollars to be smuggled in but not too many people are aware of the fact that some illegals pay very large sums to make it into this country. I'm talking 60-70 thousand dollars. "But they're all just poor, starving immigrants trying to make a better life for their families." Bullshit.

It's sad and it happens all the time. Smugglers load the hell out of a van, SUV, whatever. When vehicles get overloaded they become very unstable. Hence, they often crash whether being chased by law enforcment or not. I have an old 1/2 ton truck. If I try to put more than about 600 pounds in the bed then "Lookout." It wants to sway. If I were to put better shocks on it and watch how I put the most weight towards the front then it will do better but I'd still need to consider things like the brakes.

I blogged about this before. Here's the drill. The federal prosecutor won't prosecute illegals hauling up to 500 pounds of pot in a certain area of the border. They say they don't have the resources or money. So, it falls on the locals how far they want to go with it. Carrying X amount of drugs is a local crime but can also be a federal crime if it goes over a certain amount. Anyway, seems some Congresspeople are being made aware of this and it came up at a hearing. Congress is always having a hearing.

Well, I'm sure they already patrol but perhaps not en masse the way they're doing in other areas. It bothers me that these are being called "sweeps" for illegal aliens.

I tend to stay away from the plus or negative cost arguments when it comes to illegals. Personally, I have no doubt they have a huge negative impact. I've seen it argued to death even to the point of looking at the impact after 2 or 3 generations.

Don't go to Mexico.

The U.S. ambassador to Mexico warned on Friday of an "alarming" surge in violence in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and said he could heighten a travel alert for U.S. citizens traveling there.

Tony Garza said he was preparing an updated travel advisory after visiting Ciudad Juarez this week to talk to local officials about a jump in murders in the city to nearly 200 this year, as well as kidnappings and robberies. The city borders El Paso, Texas.

Gee, what a surprise. This piece of puke should be put in a tent city prison for many years.

This is TOTAL BULLSHIT unless they're leaving out a whole lot of information. First, I think the guy's a little nuts for going to a migrant camp by himself.

Most of the time, when some dipshit mayor or council declares itself a "Sanctuary City" it's just a political statement. However, if they take it a step farther and have a "Don't ask/Don't tell" policy for the police and jailers then it puts the citizens of their community and this whole nation at risk. They'd rather release an illegal that should be deported and put everyone at risk. IDIOTS!!!
