The Unreported Crime of Illegal Immigration
Nov 14, 2007 Immigration
The City of San Francisco has decided to give ID cards to residents including those who are here ILLEGALLY. On Tuesday the Board of Supervisors voted to issue municipal ID cards to residents regardless of their immigration status. As with all these feel good ILLEGAL immigrant pandering schemes, the basis is public safety (reporting crimes). According to the people who are in favor of this it will bring the ILLEGALS out of the shadows and they will not be afraid to report crime. Ignoring the idea that ILLEGALS commit crimes that they will probably not report, why does anyone think this will help and why do they care if crime is reported?
“People are afraid to report crimes,” Ammiano said, referring to illegal immigrants who avoid local law enforcement authorities over fear of being arrested or deported by federal immigration officials. SF Gate
Places that pander to ILLEGALS have no regard for the law. They are perfectly willing to issue ID cards and driver’s licenses to ILLEGALS to bring them out of the shadows and make them unafraid to report crime and yet these same officials ignore the crime that the ILLEGALS committed to get here. Why are they so interested in ILLEGALS reporting criminal acts when they are reluctant to act upon the ILLEGAL act of entering this country in violation of the law?
What these officials are saying to ILLEGALS is; “we will ignore the crimes you have committed if you report the crimes others have committed.” The other thing to consider is, if these officials are so worried about crimes being reported why do they refuse to allow city workers to report ILLEGALS to immigration officers? Why do they do everything they possibly can to shield ILLEGALS from the law but assist them in reporting others who have broken the law?
This is a stupid idea. Certain types of identification cards are used for all kinds of access. Driver’s licenses are used to board aircraft, to gain access to certain buildings and to register to vote. Registering to vote when one is not eligible to vote is a crime! The politicians seem to have a mindset of selective law enforcement doing everything they can to shield ILLEGALS from the law while using them to report other crimes.
Imagine the irony of an ILLEGAL reporting some crime committed by a citizen. That citizen will have to face the legal system while a person who is not here legally reported him. This ILLEGAL will not have to answer for his crimes and can continue living here ILLEGALLY while sucking the resources out of the American taxpayer.
I say that if they want people to report crime then have citizens report people who are here ILLEGALLY. Along with the report comes the responsibility of government to act upon the information. Until they start doing that, how can anyone take them seriously?

O’Hare Invaded by ILLEGALS
Nov 8, 2007 Immigration
Nearly two dozen people have been arrested and charged with crimes in an operation that involved ILLEGALS working at O’Hare airport. The ILLEGALS had security badges and were able to gain access to many areas of the airport. I am sure there are those who will say that these poor people meant no harm and were only looking for work. That might be true but they once again broke the law and this time the national security implications are even worse than their violation of our borders.
It is one thing to be able to sneak across hundreds of miles of unattended borders but to sneak into an airport that is supposed to have a high level of security raises a lot of concerns about just how secure we are. Perhaps these people meant no harm but if they did they would have had virtually unfettered access to anything they wanted to destroy and they could have put thousands of lives at risk. Fortunately, they were arrested as were their employers who developed the scheme that used phony Social Security numbers and ID badges. I hope the employers get a very long jail sentence.
I realize that we need to hold employers accountable and in this case, they are. I have often written that huge fines against employers who hire ILLEGALS would solve a lot of the problems (and increased pressure is working in some states). However, in this case the employers, or at least one of them, is suspected of being here ILLEGALLY. Since people who come here ILLEGALLY have no respect for the law it is not a stretch to say that ILLEGAL employers will have the same disregard as is clearly demonstrated in this case.
We need immigration reform and we can have it immediately by enforcing the immigration laws we have. We can make it a felony to be here ILLEGALLY (it is a felony when one is caught crossing the border ILLEGALLY but not when they are caught being here ILLEGALLY). We can also ensure that the United States Code that makes it every law enforcement agency’s job to enforce immigration law is followed. Police in all states need to be given the power to arrest and detain on the suspicion of being an ILLEGAL immigrant (in accordance with established code).
There are many other things that can be done but that would take politicians from their important jobs of running for office, seeking donations, and ruining the country.

Follow the Bouncing Hillary Ball
Nov 7, 2007 Immigration, Political
Hillary Rodham is still having trouble with the issue of driver’s licenses for ILLEGALS. It has been over a week since she answered the question about it several different ways and twenty-four hours after her waffle she came out in support of giving ILLEGALS licenses. It would appear, despite her claims of being clear on the issues, that she has not been clear on this one. In her latest nuance, Rodham says that issuing licenses to ILLEGALS should depend on the state. She stated that in a state like New York there is a huge security problem and a lot of ILLEGALS but that in other states it might not be a big deal. I guess the idea that it is wrong to reward ILLEGAL activity at all has never crossed her mind.
I know I have indicated that Rodham is a poll driven candidate but it would appear as if she is on the other side of public opinion on this one. About 77% of Americans surveyed [Washington Times] do not favor allowing ILLEGALS to get a driver’s license and yet, depending on when you talk to her, Rodham is for it, against it, for it and against it, or believes it is up to individual states [Breitbart]. Perhaps she is in favor of it because people often register to vote at the same time they get a license (motor voter) and if they do not have to prove they are legal when getting the license they do not have to prove they are eligible to vote. Obviously, it helps Democratic candidates to have a huge number of ILLEGAL voters on the books and Rodham is probably pandering to that large contingency. A huge Hispanic vote cannot hurt her in the election.
Obtaining a driver’s license is a privilege, not a right (though ILLEGALS have few rights under our Constitution) and bestowing a privilege on people who do not deserve it is wrong and counter productive. If the government of any state rewards bad behavior then the result is more bad behavior. By allowing ILLEGALS to get licenses we are telling them that what they did is perfectly OK and that they can continue to break the law. There is a lot of public outrage when ILLEGALS break the law and commit some terrible crime but what should we expect? We do not punish them for their initial bad behavior so they continue to exhibit bad behavior.
This is not to say that there are not millions of hard working, good people in this country who happen to be here ILLEGALLY but the fact is, even the good ones broke the law to get here. Hillary Rodham is fond of blaming this on Bush and saying that this country does not have an immigration policy. She is wrong on both counts. First of all, Ted Kennedy gave us both of the huge amnesties of the past and he promised after the last one that it would never be necessary again because the Congress would fix the problems. Here we are 23 years later and we still have the mess but we have millions more ILLEGALS. Kennedy and the Congress dropped the ball long before George Bush became president. Additionally, Bush tried to give a huge amnesty package that was defeated by the Republicans (and some Democrats) in Congress after the public outcry.
As for the idea that this country does not have an immigration policy, this is plain hogwash. We have plenty of laws concerning entering this country and we have rules that are supposed to be followed. The problem is not that we do not have a policy, the problem is that this country fails to enforce it. Instead of securing the border and stopping the flow of ILLEGALS, our government jails the border patrol agents who are trying to enforce the law while people continue to walk in unabated.
The United States Congress needs to get its head out of its rear end and start enforcing the laws we have and we need to start deporting ILLEGALS we catch. We need to jail those who break the law and we need to hold judges and elected officials responsible for failures in the system. Unfortunately, this issue will not receive the proper attention until an ILLEGAL rapes or murders a politician’s or judge’s wife or daughter or until one of their family members (or the entire family) is wiped out by an ILLEGAL driving a vehicle with or without the license Hillary wants them to have.
As for Rodham, she has bounced this ball back and forth for more than a week and is still unclear as to her position. I imagine it will change a few more times before the primary and she will take a more firm stance against it, should she make it to the general election. Hillary fails to understand that ILLEGAL behavior is wrong and that people should not be rewarded for it.
But, that should not surprise us. She and hubby Bill have been involved in a lot of illegal activity. Their people have also been involved in illegal activity for the benefit of the Clintons. Those people are rewarded for what they do, no matter how wrong it is.
Sandy Berger, anyone [The Hillary Project].

Screw Vicente Fox and Mexico
Oct 8, 2007 Immigration
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox called me and anyone else opposed to the illegal invasion of our country racists. This grease ball actually called us racists because we demand that the law be followed. Here is what the little scum bag had to say:
“The xenophobics, the racists, those who feel they are a superior race … they are deciding the future of this nation,” he said, without naming names, in an interview with The Associated Press. Breitbart
Isn’t this nice? This jackass has insulted every American who believes that we need to have smart, legal immigration and prosecute the lawbreakers. How dare this two bit tin horn jackass insult the citizens of the US? How dare he call us names for opposing him and the rest of the criminals in this country. How would he like it if we started referring to him as a taco bending beaner? I do not feel I am the superior race but I am superior to this jackass.
What Fox does not understand is that many Americans are all for legal immigration but we want the criminal acts to stop and we want the Mexican government to stop assisting the criminals in breaking the law. Americans who oppose ILLEGALS are none of the things Fox has called us but those who break the law and those who assist are low life scum sucking pigs who have no respect for themselves or for the people who offer a better life if they follow the law. Now, not only do I oppose ILLEGALS and any amnesty, I also oppose any path to citizenship and the only path that should be followed is to deport everyone that we catch.
We do not have to round them all up at once but deport everyone that we catch. No cry baby crap over left behind kids, deport them. If they commit a crime put them in jail for the maximum time allowed and screw the Consulate. I am tired of people from other countries insulting us and telling us how we should run our country. What we need is a moratorium on immigrants from Mexico. As far as all these crops people are crying about, get the people on welfare off their fat asses and put them in the field picking crops. Take the inmates from the jails and make them pick the crops. Let Mexicans who are here legally pick the crops but get rid of all the ILLEGALS.
Screw you Vicente Fox you little slimy grease ball. And screw all your citizens who are here ILLEGALLY. Maybe we should start sending them to Gitmo. Bet you would shut your pie hole then. Bastard.
This jackass owes a lot of us an apology.
Fences Make Good Neighbors
Oct 8, 2007 Immigration
The United States has been playing with the idea of putting a fence up on its southern border to keep the ILLEGALS from walking across unabated. I say playing because this has not been taken very seriously by our elected leaders who would prefer to build a superhighway across the border and grant amnesty to all who can sneak in. This is important work for our leaders who must ensure that their family’s businesses are appropriately staffed with ILLEGALS doing the work Americans will not do. Without all the ILLEGALS, who will keep the landscape of their million dollar homes looking nice?
The President of Mexico is also opposed to a fence between the countries. Felipe Calderon believes that we should be building bridges, not fences and has voiced his concerns to President Bush who seems hell bent on doing whatever Mexico wants. Felipe Calderon was very appreciative of Bush’s efforts to pass an amnesty bill (they call it immigration reform) and he thinks it is important to allow his people to work here. He wants us to be friends.
I am all for being friends with Mexico. So let us explore this a bit further. Would you want friends who sneak into your house and take things to which they are not entitled? How many of you have friends who break into your home, eat your food, force you to pay for their health care, and make you pay them money because they are poor? If you have friends like this, you do not need enemies. Under Calderon’s logic, we should consider robbers who break into our houses as our friends.
If Mexico wants to be friends they can start by keeping their people home. They can also show good will by teaching their people how to come here legally rather than showing them ways to get here in violation of the law. Mexico can then send the US billions of dollars to pay for the services its people are using. He could also send crews to the border to clean up the terrible mess made by his citizens as they shed their waste in route to our country. We need a fence to keep the Mexicans honest about their efforts to be good neighbors.
I imagine that if two people lived next to each other and one of them had a dog that kept relieving itself in the other neighbor’s yard, there would be problems. If one neighbor erects a fence, the dog stays where it belongs and there are no hard feelings. This is because fences make good neighbors.
Calderon indicated that he has a problem with all the Mexicans coming to the US because they lose their hardest workers. If this is truly the case then the fence will also solve his problems and allay his concerns.
In any event, it is not his business nor is it his concern. If Mexico had any regard for the law a fence would not be necessary but since they do not we need a fence to keep the dogs from relieving themselves in our yard.
