Tucson, AZ: Humanitarians discrace Memorial Day

Tucson, AZ: Humanitarians discrace Memorial Day...Humanitarian Organizations have decided to start their own remembrance on this important day by having a press conference and launching the official start of “The Migrant Trail” a 75 mile walk to honor illegal aliens and the deaths in the desert as a result of criminal behavior...Many of marchers are anti government activists, open border advocates, and bleeding hearts, and the same ones demanding that hispanic studies be taught and their culture respected. I don’t have a problem with that, ones roots are important, but it is a two way street and respect is earned not demanded. Respect this country, it’s laws and history and you just may get respect. Unfortunately the groups listed below don’t feel they have to respect their own county, The United States of America, and there is where the problem lies.

Los Indios/San Benito, CA: Mexican Soldiers’ Shopping Excursion Raises Issues About Border Security

Los Indios/San Benito, CA: Mexican Soldiers’ Shopping Excursion Raises Issues About Border Security.. Border security is in question after an incident at a Valley international bridge. A convoy of Mexican soldiers crossed the border to shop. Agents say they didn't even have to go through a checkpoint. The incident happened Saturday night at the Los Indios Free Trade Bridge. It raised a red flag for border security near San Benito. The Mexican soldiers came to Brady’s Duty Free Store in the middle of the bridge. It's on the U.S. side, but soldiers never passed through a port of entry checkpoint. About 25 soldiers armed with weapons shopped for about 15 minutes. Customs officials issued a statement about the minor(?) military incursion.

DNC Chair: Republicans Believe Illegal Immigration 'Should be a Crime'

DNC Chair: Republicans Believe Illegal Immigration 'Should be a Crime' (HELLO, it IS a crime or has this violation been changed again to suit the needs of the Democrats???) Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D.-Fla.), chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, denounced Republicans last week.. “We have 12 million illegal aliens (it is more like 30+ million) in this country that are part of the backbone of our economy and this is not only a reality but a necessity," she said. "And that it would be harmful--the Republican solution that I’ve seen in the last three years is that we should just pack them all up and ship them back to their own countries and that in fact it should be a crime and we should arrested them all.”

Florida to test all welfare recipients for drugs

Florida to test all welfare recipients for drugs...new law signed by Governor Rick Scott on Tuesday. The measure makes Florida the only state to test all recipients of the federal program known as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, according a Washington-based public policy group that says other states have chosen less obtrusive ways to monitor drug use. The new law, a version of which was struck down by a federal court in Michigan in 2003, requires recipients to pay for the tests before qualifying for benefits and periodically after they receive them.

Indiana: AZ E-Verify Law - A good sign for Indiana's new immigration law (ACLU has filed suit against Indiana)

Indiana: AZ E-Verify Law - A good sign for Indiana's new immigration law (ACLU has filed suit against Indiana)......Supreme Court might be inclined to support sensible federalism....The opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, said AZ's law does not improperly intrude upon federal prerogatives because the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act contains a clause that explicitly allows states to use licensing provisions to punish employers..The timing couldn't be better for Indiana, which has its own recently passed E-Verify law that has just been challenged by an ACLU-of-Indiana lawsuit. The Arizona victory is not a guarantee of success for Indiana in the lawsuit; some of the ACLU's complaints involve provisions of the Indiana law not in the Arizona statute. But the core of its objection is the “federal prerogative” complaint.

Obama, Dems See Voter Drop in Key States

Obama, Dems See Voter Drop in Key States..Voter Registration Could be Key to Obama in 2012..In 2008, Obama tapped into a record of nearly 15 million voters who cast ballots for the first time, a surge in registration that may be difficult to replicate next year. Recent voter registration data show that Democrats have lost ground in key states that Obama carried in 2008, an early warning siren for the president's re-election campaign. While Republican numbers have also dipped in some states, the drop in the Democrats' ranks highlights the importance of the Obama campaign's volunteer base and the challenge they could have of registering new voters.

NAFTA: Mexican truckers to drive cargo into US interior

NAFTA: Mexican truckers to drive cargo into US interior...The North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, included a provision that the U.S. and Mexico would allow each other's trucks to haul cargo across the border for delivery anywhere inside the other country.

CA: Dream Act bill AB131 could provide public funds for college to Illegal Aliens

CA: Dream Act bill AB131 could provide public funds for college to Illegal Aliens.... would let illegals apply for and receive state grants, university scholarships and fee waivers – the same aid offered to legal residents.. Because 12 of the 17 committee members are Democrats, proponents say they're confident the bill will pass and move to the full Assembly for a vote. It would then have to pass a Senate vote. Both bodies are Democratic-controlled. Gov. Jerry Brown said earlier he would sign the Dream Act if it comes to his desk

AZ: Border Patrol Admits 400,000 ILLEGALS in 2010 Made it Past them in Arizona Alone!

AZ: Border Patrol Admits 400,000 ILLEGALS in 2010 Made it Past them in Arizona Alone! Last year, 219,300 illegal aliens were apprehended in just one sector of AZ and many with violent felony criminal records. The U.S. Border Patrol estimates another 400,000 made it safely past them in AZ and now reside in our communities.
If the majority of regular illegal aliens can sneak into America, what does this say about the ability of terrorist sleeper cells? The porous U.S./Mexican border is the gravest national security threat facing America.

To Mexican President Calderon: Can You Hear Us Now?

To Mexican President Calderon: Can You Hear Us Now? May 19, 2010 will surely be remembered as one of the saddest, most tragic days in American history. For on that dreary spring day, a foreign leader stood before a Joint Session of the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C., and denounced the sovereign state of Arizona for passing legislation which provides law enforcement officials with the tools needed to protect Arizona and her citizens from illegal invaders from the failed, third-world state of Mexico, and other nations more southerly. Even more astounding: Mexican President Calderon’s condemnation of American politicians was greeted with cheers and standing ovations from every Democrat member of Congress in attendance on that awful day more than a year ago.

Escondido, CA: 477 arrests made in year-old Escondido police, federal program..police partnered with immigration enforcement, and the police chief says it’s contributed to a safer community, while activists maintain the program is divisive and unnecessary. Operation Joint Effort was launched in May 2010 to help identify and arrest criminal illegal aliens, those who have been previously deported, have a criminal history or are immigration fugitives. 3 ICE agents are based at Escondido police headquarters to assist when a person who is detained cannot produce proper identification or is known to the officer as prior criminal deportee..“I’m pretty comfortable that violent crime is down and a big reason is this program,” Chief Jim Maher said. Among the 477 arrests, 65 had drug convictions, 44 had assault convictions, 11 had sexual assault convictions, 126 have DUI convictions and 16 have gang-related convictions, according to numbers released this week. Nineteen have been arrested in Escondido multiple times.

Time to Revisit California Prop 187...a measure passed by CA voters by a 2-1 margin in 1994 to restrict payment of state benefits to illegal aliens..Unfortunately, Prop. 187 was overturned by liberal judges and Democrat politicians.

Patriot Act: Congress votes to extend anti-terror wire tap laws brought in after 9/11

Patriot Act: Congress votes to extend anti-terror wire tap laws brought in after 9/11... The Senate has voted decisively to extend the legal life of three contentious terrorism-fighting powers that were set to expire at midnight without congressional action. The 72-23 Senate vote sends the legislation to the House, which is expected to pass it quickly and transmit it to Obama for his signature. It extends two provisions of the 2001 USA Patriot Act, one allowing for roving wiretaps and the other allowing searches of business records in the pursuit of terrorist threats.
A third provision gives the government power to watch non-American 'lone wolf' suspects with no certain ties to terrorist groups. All three provisions are viewed as valuable tools by law enforcement officials but are opposed by some who say they can lead to privacy right abuses

And it would have required colleges and social service providers to verify the citizenship of all applicants. People seeking public assistance in LA would have had to verify their citizenship by executing an affidavit under penalty of perjury and have the sworn statement notarized. But the state agency providing the benefits would also have to verify the applicant's status through DHS.
