Bush Addresses Immigration: The Official Thread

OK, you heard what Dubya said. What do you think? If you didn’t watch the speech, you can read the full text here but in the meantime here are the main talking points in the President’s own words ....

• “First, the United States must secure its borders. This is a basic responsibility of a sovereign nation. It is also an urgent requirement of our national security.”


• “Second, to secure our border, we must create a temporary worker program. The reality is that there are many people on the other side of our border who will do anything to come to America to work and build a better life.”


• “Third, we need to hold employers to account for the workers they hire. It is against the law to hire someone who is in this country illegally. Yet businesses often cannot verify the legal status of their employees, because of the widespread problem of document fraud.”


• “Fourth, we must face the reality that millions of illegal immigrants are already here. They should not be given an automatic path to citizenship.”


• “Fifth, we must honor the great American tradition of the melting pot, which has made us one Nation out of many peoples. The success of our country depends upon helping newcomers assimilate into our society, and embrace our common identity as Americans. Americans are bound together by our shared ideals, an appreciation of our history, respect for the flag we fly, and an ability to speak and write the English language.”


• “Sixth, WARNING! Because of the President’s speech on Monday, May 15th the start times for 24 in certain time zones will be affected.”

Support Your Local Sheriff

If you’ve never heard of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, you’ve obviously been hiding under a rock for a long time. Sheriff Joe believes in “tough love” and he don’t take no crap off anyone. He made news long ago with his boot camp programs to rehabilitate juvenile criminals. He doesn’t believe in coddling prisoners either.

Now Sheriff Joe is giving them hell along the border ... and the illegal Mess-Cans don’t like it one bit. Let’s help Sheriff Joe and encourage other law enforcement personnel along our Souther border to do the same. If the lazy-assed Feds won’t protect our borders then our local law needs to step up and “git her done”.

Arizona Posse to Round Up Illegal Immigrants
_{May 10, 2006, 8:00 AM EDT}

GILA BEND, Ariz. (AP)—Four Mexican men sit in the dirt with their wrists bound, shoulders hunched and eyes lowered to avoid the glare of the rising sun. The immigrants had been on their way to build a dairy farm in this town about an hour southwest of Phoenix. But after a traffic stop for a faulty brake light, members of a sheriff’s task force targeting human and drug smugglers found they were not U.S. citizens. Now they were bound for federal custody.

Beginning Wednesday, more illegal immigrants coming through Maricopa County could meet the same fate as the sheriff’s department beefs up its efforts to find illegal immigrants. A 250-member posse that will operate similarly to the anti-smuggler task force will patrol the area for illegal immigrants who pay smugglers to cross through Arizona, the busiest illegal entry point along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border.

The posse will be made up of existing sheriff’s deputies and members of the department’s 3,000-member posse reserve of trained, unpaid volunteers. The four illegal immigrants pulled over Monday will be turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and sent back to Mexico. But those that are captured by the posse may end up in jail, charged under a state law that has been used against more than 100 illegal immigrants in Maricopa County this year.

The law made human smuggling a state crime in Arizona—it was already a federal crime—allowing local law enforcement agencies to arrest suspected smugglers. It was meant to crack down on smugglers, but under a disputed interpretation, County Attorney Andrew Thomas argues the law can be applied to the smuggled immigrants themselves.

Thomas maintains illegal immigrants who pay smugglers to enter the United States are committing conspiracy to smuggle and can therefore be prosecuted under the state law. The sheriff’s office began arresting illegal immigrants under that interpretation in March, and with the new posse, will continue doing so by patrolling desert areas and main roadways in the southwestern part of the county.

“I’m going to catch as many as I can and throw them in my jail,” said Sheriff Joe Arpaio. “And the jails are not that nice.”

It remains to be seen whether a judge will uphold the smuggling law as applicable to illegal immigrants. Lawyers for some arrested illegal immigrants have filed motions to have the charges dismissed. A Los Angeles attorney brought into the case by the Mexican Consul General’s Office in Phoenix filed another motion claiming Thomas and Arpaio are violating state and federal law and are using the conspiracy charges to control illegal immigration, which is the federal government’s job.

Arpaio said the motions don’t worry him. “I get sued when I go to the toilet. You think I’m worried about it?” he said. “If they think I’m going to slow down because of these threats, I’ve got news for them—I’m not going to slow down. I’ll do more of it.”

Alfredo Gutierrez, a Hispanic activist and former Democratic state senator, called Thomas’ interpretation of the law and Arpaio’s use of it “political pranks.” “Every act like this contributes to the angst and anger and desperation in our community,” Gutierrez said. Elias Bermudez, president of the pro-immigrant group Inmigrantes Sin Fronteras, or Immigrants Without Borders, questions the legality of the immigration posse itself.

“It is racial profiling,” he said. “They don’t follow guys that are blond and blue-eyed.” Bermudez said Arpaio is “a good criminal sheriff, but he needs to go out there and find criminals. He wants to go after the poor, undocumented immigrant who is hungry and thirsty in the desert. That is totally inhumane.”

Stinko De Mayo

To the 20 million illegal aliens squattting tax-free in America, a ‘Stinko de Mayo’ greeting:

The American public is FED UP with the invasion of our sovereign nation by third-world outlaws from Mexico.

We are FED UP with the refusal of the federal government to secure our borders, opting instead to provide big business with slave labor in the form of illegals from Mexico. This irresponsible policy leaves our nation vulnerable to terrorism, and we are FED UP with this endangerment of American lives for cheap fruit.

We are FED UP with people who are here illegally and who can not and/or will not speak English.

We are FED UP with illegals from Mexico who cost American taxpayers scores of billions of dollars every year in health care, education, incarceration, and welfare.

We are FED UP with taxpayer dollars being wasted to print documents in a foreign language (Spanish).

We are FED UP with illegals who dump their medical bills on the backs of US taxpayers and who still send $20-40 billion a year back to Mexico each year.

We are FED UP with our schools being invaded by non-English speaking children from Mexico who impede the learning process of students who genuinely belong here.

We are FED UP with the fact that federal, state and local penal systems are overrun by illegals from Mexico, again costing US taxpayers billions each year.

We are FED UP with the fact that the overwhelming majority of felony crimes being investigated in Los Angeles have been committed by illegals from Mexico.

We are FED UP with federal, state and local agencies who refuse to round up and deport millions of illegals who are destroying American culture and language.

We are FED UP with politicians, Hispanic and non-Hispanic, who coddle illegals with drivers licenses, lower college tuitons and similar benefits which only encourage more people to invade the US from Mexico.

We are FED UP with the attempted Mexicanization of America. Mexico is a third- world slum and we are FED UP with those who want America to be like Mexico!

Politicians--Democrat and Republican alike---who fail to heed the anger of the people concerning this issue will soon find themselves “former elected” officials.

Happy Stinko de Mayo---now get the hell out!

MBS Evening News

Good evening. This is your Mexican Broadcasting System reporter Don Jose Rather reporting to you live from the White House command center in Washington.

The Bush administration has just announced that it will be resigning and stepping down under extreme pressure from millions, nay hundreds of millions of Mexican immigrants who are storming the cities of America shutting down all services and bringing the great American empire to its knees.

Vice President Cheney has reportedly commited suicide and President Bush has sold Jenna and Barbara into white slavery in Saudi Arabia to finance a plan to buy his Crawford, Texas ranch back from Mexico. It is reported that Vicente Fox is offering good terms on the mortgage.

Americans are currently stunned as they turn on their TV sets across this land and see the American flags being torn down and replaced with the proud colors of the green, white and red of Mexico.

It is a great day for the liberation of the hard-working laborers from Mexico as they see their dream come true of taking their country back from the hated gringos. ---- This just in on the wire ... John Kerry has announced he is changing his name to Juan Kerio and is divorcing Teresa to marry Charro ---- stay tuned for further updates ....

As it turns out, not much happened today. Yes, there were a few marches in large cities but overall it looks like America is still standing.

• Michelle Malkin has the complete roundup of the day’s festivities.


• BareNucklePolitics has a collection of live video feeds from all across the country (via LGF) - although there’s not much to see.


• LoneWacko is making a list (and checking it twice) of all the supporters of this miserable attempt at blackmail.


• Tom Tancredo tells it like it is at National Review Online and imagines what a day without illegal immigrants would be like. Actually, I’m more interested in what a CENTURY WITHOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS would be like, Tom.


• Lt. Smash (Indepundit) reports in from San Diego that it looks like a pretty normal day down close to the border although there was some blockage just across the border in Tijuana at the border crossing by 50 pendejos (mostly middle-aged women).


• On a less serious note, RightWingDuck over at IMAO has proof that Instapundit - Glenn Reynolds is behind the whole mess and he has the pictures to prove it. Evil puppy blender!


• Even worse, Cox & Forkum see American baseball being hijacked and fans forced to listen to “Jose Can You See”. Argh!

Mayday

ALL

US
TODAY,
GRINGO!

‘Day Without Immigrants’ Protest Expected To Hit US Economy

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Latin American immigrant groups in the United States have called for a major one day strike and school boycott as part of a campaign for immigration reform. The May Day protest is intended to show the impact of their contribution to the US economy and many companies that rely on low wage labour fear their operations will be hit.

There are signs of division within the community however as some groups fear the disruption could turn the US public against their cause. There are an estimated 11.5 million illegal immigrants in the United States and there have been huge street protests in recent weeks against proposals by some lawmakers to make illegal entry a crime.

Hispanic groups, who want measures to give undocumented workers a legal status, are urging supporters not to go to work, keep children away from school and not to make purchases. “We’ve unequivocally called on all families to participate in the Great American Boycott and the marches—and that translates into not going to work, not going to school, not shopping and not selling,” said Nativo Lopez, president of the Mexican-American Political Association, one of the main organizers.

Hollywood stars, including Edward James Olmos, Salma Hayek, and Argentine composer Gustavo Santaolalla, who won an Oscar this year for the score to “Brokeback Mountain”, are supporting the protest. Food giants such as Tyson Food Inc. and Cargill Foods said they would close about 20 plants between them on Monday. Goya Foods announced a complete halt to daily distribution.

National Day Of Protest

If the criminals from Mexico can do it, we can too. Since they are hijacking next Monday (May Day - when all commies party down), I feel it only fair that WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA should also have a day of protest against all the Mexicans who break our laws and spit in our face, demanding “amnesty”, free medical care, free education and free tacos. Thanks to a suggestion from one of our readers here, I am hereby declaring Next Friday, May 5 an Official Day Of Protest. It will be known as:

• Boycott all Mexican restaurants (including Taco Bell).


• Whenever you encounter anyone speaking Spanish in public start shouting “BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! ...” as loud as you can.


• If you call a business and get the “Press 1 for Spanish, Press 2 for English ...” message - press “3” over and over and over and over.


• Fly a Mexican flag upside down (it looks almost exactly the same because their flag really sucks).


• Mow your own grass, cook your own food (steaks on the barbee will do nicely), wash your own car - do all the jobs Americans “don’t want to do”.


• Send your Congressman an e-mail protesting the illegal aliens. In Spanish.

Feel free to add more ways of protesting this national disgrace. Let’s all join in one week from today and shout from the rooftops:

Uno De Mayo

Get ready for next Monday. Illegal aliens are going to be marching in the streets, demanding to be forgiven of the crime of breaking and entering. Their “purpose” is to shutdown major cities in the US. If this keeps up, sooner or later sombody is going to get hurt. Mark my words. A backlash is brewing ....

May 1 Protest Aims To “Close” Cities
_{Apr 27, 4:52 PM (ET)}

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pro-immigration activists say a national boycott and marches planned for May 1 will flood U.S. streets with millions of Latinos to demand amnesty for illegal immigrants and shake the ground under Congress as it debates reform.

Such a massive turnout could make for the largest protests since the civil rights era of the 1960s, though not all Latinos—nor their leaders—were comfortable with such militancy, fearing a backlash in Middle America.

“There will be 2 to 3 million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone. We’re going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, Fresno,” said Jorge Rodriguez, a union official who helped organize earlier rallies credited with rattling Congress as it debates the issue.

Immigration has split Congress, the Republican Party and public opinion. Conservatives want the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants classified as felons and a fence built along the Mexican border.

Others, including President George W. Bush, want a guest-worker program and a path to citizenship. Most agree some reform is needed to stem the flow of poor to the world’s biggest economy.

“We want full amnesty, full legalization for anybody who is here (illegally),” Rodriguez said. “That is the message that is going to be played out across the country on May 1.”

Organizers have timed the action for May Day, a date when workers around the world traditionally have marched for improved conditions, and have strong support from big labor and the Roman Catholic church.

They vow that America’s major cities will grind to a halt and its economy will stagger as Latinos walk off their jobs and skip school.

Teachers’ unions in major cities have said children should not be punished for walking out of class. Los Angeles school officials said principals had been told that they should allow students

The N-Word?

Question: What’s worse than a stupid Mexican? Answer: A stupid Mexican attorney. This one is completely fruit loops. If we can’t use the word “ILLEGAL” then what do we call what they are doing? “Other than legal”? “Law avoidance”? Give me a break, Garcia!

Hispanic Attorney Says Using Term Illegal Alien Racial Slur
_{April 25, 2006 08:47 AM EST}

(CONSERVATIVE VOICE)—Appearing on KLIF Radio’s Gregg Knapp show, attorney Domingo Garcia said that using the terms illegal alien or illegal immigrant is a “racial slur”. Garcia said that those who use it, in reference to Hispanics, are racist.

Knapp advised Garcia that using the term “illegal aliens” or “illegal immigrants” is an accurate term applied to [their] legal vs. illegal status in the country and a true depiction of the fact that they are illegal. Garcia said: “Using words like illegal alien is like calling people derogatory names…like calling people nigger!”

A Good Start

Do the math. If there are 12 million illegal aliens in this country today then they only have to have about 12,000 busts like this before we get things under control. Just think ... only 11,999 to go ....

Bosses, Workers Seized In Immigration Raids
_{Thursday, April 20, 2006 - 9:20 a.m. EDT (13:20 GMT)}

WASHINGTON (CNN)—Federal immigration authorities rounded up more than 1,000 illegal immigrants at dozens of sites and charged nine individuals of the firm that employed them, federal law enforcement officials announced. Seven current and former managers of IFCO Systems, which has offices in several states, were arrested and charged in connection with the employment of illegal immigrants, said U.S. Attorney Glenn Suddaby in Albany, New York.

Suddaby said two lower level employees were also charged in the case. Wednesday’s action against IFCO Systems—an industry leader in the manufacture of wooden pallets, crates and containers—came as Homeland Security and Justice Department officials prepared to announce steps to toughen internal enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and other Bush administration officials and a federal prosecutor will appear at the agency’s Washington headquarters Thursday. They will announce the new strategy aimed at employers and disclose the results of the enforcement actions targeting IFCO Systems.

Customs officials said agents made more than a thousand arrests in nearly 40 locations including Houston, Texas; Cincinnati, Ohio; Phoenix, Arizona; and Albany, New York. A customs official said federal authorities checked a “sample” of 5,800 IFCO employee records last year and found that 53 percent had faulty Social Security numbers. “They were using Social Security numbers of people that were dead, of children or just different individuals that did not work at IFCO,” Immigration and Customs agency chief Julie Myers told CNN.

“The Social Security Administration had written IFCO over 13 times and told them, ‘Listen, You have a problem. You have over a thousand employees that have faulty Social Security numbers. And we consider that to be a big problem.’ And IFCO did not do anything about it,” Myers said. Myers said a yearlong investigation revealed that IFCO managers had induced illegal immigrants to work there, telling some of them to doctor W-2 tax forms or saying that they did not need to fill out any documentation at all.

Deported

She’s been in this country six years illegally. She owns a spanish language newspaper and a radio station right here in St. Louis. They finally got around to deporting her. A Republican Senator and two Democratic Congressmen tried to stop her from being deported. Read the article below and remember the names of these politicians when you go to vote in November ....

Missouri Hispanic Newspaper Publisher Deported
_{April 15, 2006, 3:22 PM EDT}

ST. LOUIS (AP)—The publisher of a Spanish-language newspaper said Saturday she will continue her work even though she has been deported after a five-year legal battle over her immigration status. Cecilia Velazquez was escorted into Mexico on Friday and will be barred from re-entering the United States for 10 years, said Carl Rusnok, spokesman for the Immigration and Custom Enforcement agency.

Velazquez, 36, is the publisher of Red Latina, meaning “Latin network.” She also is president of Radio CuCui, a group that brings performers and commentators to WEW-AM radio in St. Louis. Velazquez said by cell phone Saturday from Mexico City that Red Latina will carry on and she will continue as publisher, possibly from Cancun.

“We are the voice of my population. They need to know what’s going on,” she told The Associated Press. “I know we can do it. I have the Internet and my cell phone. I can make all the meetings. We need to tell the people `Don’t be afraid. Don’t be scared. I’ll be back.’” Her attorney, Raymond R. Bolourtchi, said her departure “can only hurt and damage the Hispanic community. She was their voice.”

Velazquez had entered the country on a visitors visa, but Rusnok said she was stopped in December 2000 in Houston by authorities who determined she was “actually an intending immigrant.” He said she was given two weeks to return to Mexico, but remained in this country and was arrested in 2003 in St. Louis.

She lost a series of appeals but had hoped letters of support written by politicians including U.S. Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO) and U.S. Reps. William Lacy Clay Jr. (D-MO) and Russ Carnahan (D-MO) would stave off her deportation. The newspaper has five people in St. Louis and 17 people working with the radio station.

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.”
