U.S Bans Money Going to Palestinian Gov’t
April 14, 2006, 12:51 PM EDT
JERUSALEM (AP)—The U.S. government has barred Americans from doing business with the new Hamas-led Palestinian government, officials said Friday, the latest sign of U.S. financial pressure against the Islamic militant group.
In a memo obtained by The Associated Press, the U.S. Treasury Department said “transactions with the Palestinian Authority by U.S. persons are prohibited, unless licensed.”
It said the decision was based on “existing terrorism sanctions.”

The concept of using laser weapons on the battlefield is not new. In fact, Ronnie “Ray-Gun” came up with the idea to scare the Russkis way back in the early 1980’s. It worked. The Commies panicked and threw in the towel.
Now, according to Popular Science magazine, it appears the military may have finally built the technology to make it work. If nothing else, it might give the Mad Mullahs in Iran something to worry about. Besides, I just wanted a reason to post this really cool drawing ....
For a vision of war, it was almost elegant. The smoke and stink and deafening crack of munitions would be replaced by invisible beams of focused light. Modified 747 jets, equipped with laser weapons, would blast ballistic missiles while they were still hundreds of miles from striking our soil. “Directed-energy” cannons would intercept incoming rockets at the speed of light, heating up the explosives inside and causing them to burst apart in midair. And this wasn’t some relic of Reagan-era Star Wars visionaries. These were modern plans, initiated barely a decade ago, that would be realized not in some far-off future, but soon. Out in the New Mexico desert at the White Sands Missile Range, the U.S. Army’s Tactical High Energy Laser shot down dozens of Katyusha rockets and mortars. In 2004, Air Force contractors began test-firing the chemically powered beam weapon for a retrofitted 747, the Airborne Laser.

Permalink • Local Law Enforcement Cracks Down On Illegals
I read this and thought to myself that this has been brewing for a long time. I have several relatives who are in law enforcement and quite a few friends who are cops. I’ve been hearing about their frustration with the Feds, and particularly the INS, for many years. One of my friends in the Birmingham, Alabama police department and I were chatting on the phone two years ago and I happened to mention illegal aliens and asked him if they were having problems with them down there. He nearly went ballistic. I can’t even repeat to you some of the names he used to describe the INS.
Typically, he said, they catch some Mexican or Guatemalan either speeding or driving drunk or whatever and find out they have no license (or a fake one) and no insurance. A quick check and they confirm that their captive is illegal. That’s where the fun starts, according to him. The INS is contacted and the police are told that the Feds can’t be bothered with the illegal unless they (the police) have sixty or more of them to justify a chartered plane to take them out of the country. At this point the police have no choice but to release the illegal with nothing more than a fine for the traffic violation.
That’s the way it’s been for years. Unless the local police catch a full planeload of illegals speeding all at the same time, the INS could care less. That’s your federal government at work, folks. This supposedly “new” tactic that the NY Times talks about is the result of long built-up frustration by local police and has nothing to do with recent events.
Path to Deportation Can Start With a Traffic Stop
April 14, 2006 (NY Times)
While lawmakers in Washington debate whether to forgive illegal immigrants their trespasses, a small but increasing number of local and state law enforcement officials are taking it upon themselves to pursue deportation cases against people who are here illegally. In more than a dozen jurisdictions, officials have invoked a little-used 1996 federal law to seek special federal training in immigration enforcement for their officers.
In other places, the local authorities are flagging some illegal immigrants who are caught up in the criminal justice system, sometimes for minor offenses, and are alerting immigration officials to their illegal status so that they can be deported. In Costa Mesa, Calif., for example, in Orange County, the City Council last year shut down a day laborer job center that had operated for 17 years, and this year authorized its Police Department to begin training officers to pursue illegal immigrants — a job previously left to federal agents.
In Suffolk County, on Long Island, where a similar police training proposal was met with angry protests in 2004, county officials have quietly put a system in place that uses sheriff’s deputies to flag illegal immigrants in the county jail population. In Putnam County, N.Y., about 50 miles north of Manhattan, eight illegal immigrants who were playing soccer in a school ball field were arrested on Jan. 9 for trespassing and held for the immigration authorities.
As an example of the uneven results that sometimes occur in such cross-hatches of local and federal law enforcement, the seven immigrants who were able to make bail before those agents arrived went free. The one who could not make bail in time, a 33-year-old roofer and father of five, has been in federal detention in Pennsylvania ever since.
“I took an oath to protect the people of this county, and that means enforcing the laws of the land,” said Donald B. Smith, the Putnam County sheriff. “We have a situation in our country where our borders are not being adequately protected, and that leaves law enforcement people like us in a very difficult situation.” Other local law enforcement officials expressed similar frustration at the apparent inability of the federal government to stem the rise in illegal immigration. It is a frustration they say has been growing in the last few years, and is now reaching a point of crisis.
During that time, a number of coinciding trends may have added to the sense that there has been a breach in the covenant between the local and federal authorities, according to interviews with immigration officials, police and advocates. These trends include a housing boom that attracted growing numbers of illegal workers, especially to distant suburbs and exurbs, where federal resources are especially thin; an apparent stagnation in the size of the federal immigration police force, which has remained at about 2,000 for several years; and increasing local opposition to illegal immigration, again, especially in the suburbs.
George A. Terezakis, a Long Island immigration lawyer, said that in his practice, he had seen a trend. “The heat is definitely getting turned up. Not just on criminals, but against people I would consider charged with relatively minor offenses: Having an invalid driver’s license, a fake Social Security card. A person with a job and a family can end up sitting in jail for months, and then being deported.”

Permalink • Flight 93
If you read nothing else today, go read this article in the Washington Post. It is the transcript of the voice recorder on United Airlines Flight 93, September 11, 2001. For those of you with short memories, that is the “flight that fought back” and forced the plane to crash in Pennsylvania, not far from where Abraham Lincoln stood in 1863 and spoke these immortal words ....
If not for those brave men and women who gave their lives that day, the White House would have been destroyed. Here is how it all began in the cockpit that fateful morning ....
It began with a muted series of thumps from a sharp knife or maybe clenched fists. The sounds were muffled but unmistakable, one body blow after another, ending with a squishy thud.
“No, no, no, no, no. No,” came the high-pitched voice of a crew member or flight attendant being subdued. “ . . . Please, please don’t hurt me,” the person said later. “ . . . I don’t want to die.” The desperate plea, captured by the cockpit voice recorder of United Airlines Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001, was played to a transfixed jury yesterday at the death penalty trial of Zacarias Moussaoui.
A foreign-accented voice, increasingly agitated, screamed: “Down. Down. Down!” as the whacking sound continued. Then there was silence. “That’s it. Go back,” a hijacker said calmly. “Everything is fine. I finished.”
And with that, Flight 93 from Newark banked left toward Washington. But the terrorists would not strike their target that day because they were beaten—as the voice recorder made clear—by the passengers, who fought back. The 32-minute tape recounts an epic struggle as passengers surged forward to retake the plane using whatever low-tech weapons they could find.
“Let’s get them!” one passenger yelled as dishes crashed to the floor. “In the cockpit. If we don’t we’ll die,” screamed another amid more thumping and crashing and breaking of glass.

Well, this should just about wrap this whole illegal invasion up. There are 12 million Mexicans illegals here already. They are not only protesting to have our country turned over to them but they’re telling all their relatives back home to “git here while the gittn’s good”.

Guest-Worker Hopes Spark Rush To Border
Apr. 12, 2006 11:31 AM
NOGALES, Mexico (AP)—At a shelter overflowing with migrants airing their blistered feet, Francisco Ramirez nursed muscles sore from trekking through the Arizona desert - a trip that failed when his wife did not have the strength to go on. He said the couple would rest for a few days, then try again, a plan echoed by dozens reclining on rickety bunk beds and carpets tossed on the floor after risking violent bandits and the harsh desert in unsuccessful attempts to get into the United States.
The shelter’s manager, Francisco Loureiro, said he has not seen such a rush of migrants since 1986, when the United States allowed 2.6 million illegal residents to get American citizenship. This time, the draw is a bill before the U.S. Senate that could legalize some of the 11 million people now illegally in the United States while tightening border security. Migrants are hurrying to cross over in time to qualify for a possible guest-worker program - and before the journey becomes even harder.
“Every time there is talk in the north of legalizing migrants, people get their hopes up, but they don’t realize how hard it will be to cross,” Loureiro said. South-central Arizona is the busiest migrant-smuggling area, and detentions by the U.S. Border Patrol there are up more than 26 percent this fiscal year - 105,803 since Oct. 1, compared with 78,024 for the same period a year ago. Along the entire border, arrests are up 9 percent.
Maria Valencia, a spokeswoman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said the rise in detentions did not necessarily mean more people were crossing. She attributed at least some of the additional detentions to an increase in the number of Border Patrol agents. “We’ve sent more technology and agents there, and I think that’s had an impact,” she said. But Loureiro, who has managed the shelter for 24 years, said the debate in the U.S. Congress has triggered a surge in migrants. In March, 2,000 migrants stayed at the shelter - 500 more than last year.
Many migrants said they were being encouraged to come now by relatives living in the United States. One of them is Ramirez, a 30-year-old who earned about $80 a week at a rebar factory in Mexico’s central state of Michoacan. He spent an entire night walking through the Arizona desert with his wife, Edith Mondragon, 29. When her legs cramped, their guide abandoned them and the couple turned themselves in to U.S. authorities. They were deported. But they said they would try again when they regained their strength.
“We want to try our luck up there,” Mondragon said. “We can’t go back to Michoacan because there is no future there.” Ramirez said the draw was not only the prospect of work in Minnesota, where two of his brothers milk cows on a ranch. He was also excited about the idea he might be able to do it legally. “My brothers said there is plenty of work there, and that it looks like they will start giving (work) permits,” he said. Many of the migrants also are being driven by a desire to get into the United States before the likelihood that lawmakers further fortify the border.

Democratic Oxymoron: Criminalizing Illegals
It’s bad enough the Republicans are caving in again but we still have to endure Senator Ted “Lifeguard” Kennedy’s bloviating and pandering to the illegal population. This issue has gone far enough to suit me but does Congress care? Evidently not. They fought and squabbled over which party was going to take the fall for punishing the criminals in our midst, finally gave up and took two weeks off to rest up.
If it weren’t for the fact that we pay these people good money to protect our interests, this would be almost laughable. As it is, the American people are being shortchanged on this deal. To make matters worse, most of them will start campaigning soon for re-election, at which time we will hear more lies than should be allowable under the law. “Under the law”? Oh, wait! I forgot. The only people who have to obey the law are us taxpayers and legal citizens. Politicians and Mexicans can come and go and do as they please. Argh .....!
GOP Leaders to Drop Felony for Immigrants
April 12, 2006
WASHINGTON (AP)—The two top Republicans in Congress, confronted with internal party divisions as well as large public demonstrations, said Tuesday they intend to pass immigration legislation that does not subject illegal immigrants to prosecution as felons.
A written statement by House Speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, did not say whether they would seek legislation subjecting illegal immigrants to misdemeanor prosecution or possibly a civil penalty such as a fine.
“It remains our intent to produce a strong border security bill that will not make unlawful presence in the United States a felony,” the two men said. An estimated 11 million men, women and children are in the United States illegally.
The Republican-controlled House passed legislation late last year that is generally limited to border security measures. It makes illegal immigrants subject to felony prosecution. Senate efforts to write a broader bill - covering border security, a guest worker program and a path to citizenship for many of the 11 million in the country illegally - are gridlocked with lawmakers on a two-week vacation.
Frist has said he intends to bring the issue back to the Senate floor, although he stopped short of a flat commitment and the prospects for passage of an election-year immigration bill are uncertain. The late-afternoon statement by the top GOP leaders in both houses came after days of large street demonstrations by protesters opposed to criminal penalties for illegal immigrants.
Additionally, in a Washington Post-ABC News poll published during the day, only 20 percent of those questioned said they favored declaring illegal immigrants to be felons and barring them from work. More than 60 percent indicated support for the general approach envisioned in the leading Senate proposal. It includes a requirement that illegal immigrants be required to pay a fine and back taxes as part of a process of qualifying for eventual citizenship.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D- Mass., dismissed the proposal by the GOP leadership, saying: “Actions speak louder than words, and there’s no running away from the fact that the Republican House passed a bill, and Senator Frist offered one, that criminalizes immigrants. This debate shouldn’t be about making criminals out of hardworking families ... but rather about strengthening our national security and enacting a law that reflects our best values and our humanity,” Kennedy said.

Mexico Army Finds Tons of Cocaine on Plane
Apr 12, 1:33 AM (ET)
Mexican soldiers seized 5 1/2 tons of cocaine worth more than $100 million from a commercial plane arriving from Venezuela, Mexico’s Defense Department announced Tuesday. The army was waiting for the plane on Monday at the airport of Cuidad de Carmen, 550 miles east of Mexico City, after receiving information from Venezuelan and U.S. authorities, Gen. Carlos Gaytan told a news conference.
The cocaine was stacked in 128 black suitcases marked private. Soldiers arrested Colombian Miguel Vazquez, 47, who was the plane’s co-pilot, but the pilot escaped, Gaytan said. There were no passengers. The soldiers also arrested two Mexicans who were waiting at the airport with another plane.
Gaytan said airport officials initially stopped soldiers from approaching the plane, claiming there was an oil leak and that it might explode. The officials are being investigated to see if they were in league with the traffickers, said Mexico’s top drug prosecutor, Jose Luis Santiago Vasconcelos.
U.S. and Mexican officials say that cocaine and heroin is increasingly passing from Colombia through Venezuela to Mexico where it is smuggled into the United States. While drug traffickers used planes to smuggle large quantities of drugs in the 1990s, most Mexican traffickers now use land and sea routes.
A U.S. State Department report released in March said that Venezuela has become a key transit point for drugs because of “rampant corruption at the highest levels of law enforcement and a weak judicial system.”
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez suspended cooperation with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in August, accusing its agents of spying.

I’m sorry but this whole illegal aliens thing has reached new lows of arrogance and stupidity. These women came here illegally, found a job, then walked off the job to protest. Then they got fired because they didn’t show up for work. Read that again. Does it make sense to you the second time around?
They broke the law to come to America illegally in order to “find good jobs and make a better life” as they keep telling us. Then they walk off the job to protest for more rights. Then they got fired from their “good job”, after not showing up for work. Now they’re going to protest against the company for firing them?
If there is even an inkling of intelligence in that progression of events, I wish someone would point it out to me. Do we really want people this stupid coming to America? Forget the fact that that they broke the law for a minute. When you combine this incredible amount of stupidity with the unbelievable arrogance to think that you deserve the right to walk off the job whenever you want, the result is incomprehensible.
Immigrants’ Firing Leads To Protest
15 women lose jobs after attending rally; Manager says they were warned
April 11, 2006
(DETROIT FREE PRESS)—A manager at a Detroit meatpacking plant said Monday that 15 immigrant women were fired last month after attending a protest for immigrant rights. He said they had been told that they would be terminated if they missed work on the day of the protest.
But the workers and an activist working on their behalf said the women were given no such assurances. If the workers knew they would have been fired for attending the March 27 rally in Detroit, they never would have skipped the morning shift, said Elena Herrada, a Detroit activist who is trying to help the women get their jobs back.
Herrada and about 20 union officials went Monday to Wolverine Packing Co. offices on Rivard to inquire about what happened. They were given a letter signed by general manager Jay Bonahoom, explaining why the workers were terminated.
Meanwhile Monday, marches were held in Washington, D.C., Atlanta and other cities to protest proposed changes in immigration rules. On Sunday, hundreds gathered at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Detroit. Some of the Wolverine workers were undocumented, Herrada and one of the workers said, and wanted to march in the Detroit rally to show their support for immigrant rights.
Tens of thousands of people, mostly Latinos, protested legislation that would make it a crime to help undocumented immigrants. The next morning, when the women reported to work for their shifts as meat cutters, a supervisor told them to clean out their lockers and go home.
Bonahoom said that as far as Wolverine knows, the workers were documented, but an employment agency does the actual hiring. He said the workers had been told, “written and verbally,” on the Friday before the protests that their attendance was mandatory on the day of the protest.
They were fired “for standing up for their rights,” Herrada said.

There are times when I figure the rest of the world looks at America, sees people like Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Howard Dean and others of that ilk, and decides we must all be barking mad over here. Well, I’m here to tell them that yes, we have our share of lunatics and we’re hatching more and more every day. Some days it seems the Democrats and the Liberal Left in America seem to be cloning these creatures.
“Mother” Sheehan just doesn’t know when to shut up and act rational. There seems to be a lot of that going around lately. Is there some great cosmic conspiracy going on that I’m unaware of? It seems that way when Cindy starts throwing out phrases like those highlighted below. Somebody is coordinating this madness and feeding their puppets, like this madwoman, these little lines.

Activist finds no justification for military response to atomic threat
April 11, 2006 - 4:52 p.m. Eastern
(WORLDNET DAILY)—Turning her attention from Iraq to Iran, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan insists the U.S. has no justification for any kind of military response to the emerging nuclear threat from Iran, which today declared it successfully has enriched uranium.
Writing in the left-wing Buzzflash.com, Sheehan said that after a war in Iraq, President Bush, the ”swaggering imbecile of a ‘leaker in chief’ has the nerve to be trying to sell all of us on a new war in Iran.”
“Do the warped neocons with their puppet president think that we are all stupid? Fool us once, shame on us, fool us,—well, we just can’t be fooled again,” she writes. Sheehan said the U.S. possession of nuclear weapons is “crazy, but talking about deploying them is sheer insanity.” She fears this could lead to a world war.
“With all of the ‘Left Behind’ religious fanatics praying for Armageddon, this thought is made even scarier by the fake believers in the White House who are exploiting the neo-Christian idea that Jesus was a war monger and anything our great leader does is okay, because he is a Christian man!” she declares.

US Media Reacts To French Protests With Hatred And Fear
The US media, not known for following the internal political developments of other countries too closely unless it has a direct impact upon the US, has provided an inordinate amount of ill-tempered commentary on the wave of protests and strikes in France against the introduction of a law that enables employers to fire young workers without cause.
The reaction of the media has been universally hostile, varying from denunciations by the right-wing press of “mob rule” to the more low-key perplexity expressed by the liberal media, which suggests that French are suffering from some type of collective dementia because they believe they have the right to such things as job security.
