Los Angeles: Tim Howard calls ceremony a 'disgrace' (entire post-match ceremony was in Spanish)

Los Angeles: Tim Howard calls ceremony a 'disgrace' (entire post-match ceremony was in Spanish) Goalkeeper Tim Howard was still upset after the U.S. lost the Gold Cup final, but his strongest reaction had nothing to do with the four goals Mexico slotted in his net. -- After El Tri's 4-2 victory at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., Howard blasted CONCACAF officials for conducting the title ceremony in Spanish. -- "CONCACAF should be ashamed of themselves," Howard said. "I think it was a [expletive] disgrace that the entire post-match ceremony was in Spanish...."

Point Source of Monument Fire? Border group says yes..Foot trail leads away from Wash 62 flood control devices.

Point Source of Monument Fire? Border group says yes..Foot trail leads away from Wash 62 flood control devices. According to a photo taken by American Border Patrol, the Monument Fire that took such a heavy toll on Americans was started in Mexico. Now, ABP has followed up with a closer look that suggests that the fire crossed into the U.S. at Wash 62 on the border..."A person standing near the border in Wash 62 on June 12 would have experience blast-furnace winds blowing north," Spencer said. "Add to that the fact that a fire started right there leads me to the conclusion that it was arson."

GA: 'People are trembling' over state's new immigration law HB87

GA: 'People are trembling' over state's new immigration law HB87... [This PROVES attrition through enforcement works!] A lot of them are going back to Mexico...business at the bus station has picked up in the past two months as illegal aliens leave town for other states or their homes in Mexico. When asked why, Regina says "the ley," the law on the minds of most in the local Latino community.
Outside the bus station, 18-year-old Armando Ramirez tells a story of a friend who, in fear and anticipation of GA's new immigration policy, recently sold his car for enough money to move to Washington. His friend chose the Pacific Northwest, because it isn't close to the border, it's "more peaceful" and much easier to get a driver's license. (LOOK OUT WASHINGTON STATE!)

Fox Runs ABP Fire Photo! Huffington Post cries foul

Fox Runs ABP Fire Photo! Huffington Post cries foul... An aerial photograph purportedly taken on June 12 of the area by American Border Patrol, an independent organization that monitors the border, claims the blaze actually started in Mexico and traveled upwind into the U.S.. Cochise County Sheriff Dever said that was an "accurate picture" of what occurred. "There's really only one likely source of this fire and that's someone who was moving through the area illegally," Dever told FoxNews.com during a brief interview. "It's evidence of illegal trafficking. It's the result of illegal activity any way you look at it. It wasn't naturally caused."
[Huffington Post: Amazingly, Fox News published and relied on data collected by Glenn Spencer, an infamous anti-immigrant extremist and militia activist... Wow, so now the news media and law enforcement are relying on known anti-extremist groups for "accurate" data about Mexicans? --- (Anti-extremist?)]

DHS Negligence Led to Monument Fire...Feds failed to use simple method to secure the border

DHS Negligence Led to Monument Fire...Feds failed to use simple method to secure the border..The Monument Fire that has devastated the Coronado National Monument, the Huachuca Mountains and the surrounding communities, could have been easily prevented. The fire was most likely started in Mexico by persons involved in smuggling. Had DHS secured the border in the area where the fire started, there would have been no reason for people to be in the area – and no one to start the fire.

Utah Housewife Deals Devastating Blow to State's 'Guestworker' Law (HB116)

Utah Housewife Deals Devastating Blow to State's 'Guestworker' Law (HB116)
In a stinging rebuke to political, business, religious and media elites, Republican Party activists led by a Utah housewife have dealt what may well be a deathblow to Utah's misguided and fatally flawed guestworker/amnesty law (HB116)..This past Saturday, June 18, 2011, when the showdown finally came, a majority of delegates (53%) at the Utah state Republican organizing convention sided with the housewife against the elites and passed a resolution...a lone Utah housewife and a handful of dedicated citizens defeated the most powerful interests in the state of Utah, sent the American Principles in Action group limping back to Washington, D.C., and told the nation that Bramnesty is not the "Utah Solution" or a model for federal immigration reform.

Getting Warmer on Cause of Fire...When will the Forest Service clear the air?

Getting Warmer on Cause of Fire...When will the Forest Service clear the air? Cochise Co. "Sheriff Larry Dever will tell you that the Monument Fire was started when the park, the forest was closed. So anyone who was in there is illegal," The Forest Service has only said publicly that the wildfires appear to be 'human caused' and have not offered any evidence that the suspects may have been illegal aliens....The fact is that as far back as 2006 the Forest Service testified before Congress, and I quote, 'Large numbers of warming and cooking fires built and abandoned by CROSS BORDER VIOLATERS (ILLEGAL ALIENS) have caused wildfires that have destroyed valuable natural and cultural resources.'"
