Illegal Alien Nation


Listen as POS pandering Betty Bode of Beaverton’s city council attempts to explain to Lars Larson. 

Her bullshit explanation doesn’t fly with Larson and he subsequently cuts her a new asshole and rightly so.

It appears that the GOP — with the help of the Tea Parties, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and the Devil — is out to revise the 14th Amendment to the point of meaninglessness. Maybe even write the amendment out of the Constitution itself — if not discard the Constitution completely. And all so that poor foreign newborns, who have never hurt a fly, won’t be awarded with free American citizenship upon first seeing the light of day. Makes you sick, doesn’t it? Continue Reading

American Patrol Report Comment

Villaraigosa joined with Mexico and killed CA Prop. 187. Obama joined with Mexico to try to stop Arizona’s SB 1070.

Political Correctness has taken over the anchor baby debate. The left is setting up a straw man – illegal aliens only come to the U.S. to give birth to a U.S. citizen. They then proceed to try to destroy this argument – pointing to lack of irrefutable evidence.
    What is lacking in the debate is the issue of demographic warfare. In 2005 there were 282,823 births to Hispanics in California while at the same time there were 155,900 births to Whites. Mario Obledo said, “California is going to be a Hispanic state and anyone who doesn’t like it should leave.” People are leaving.
    A UC Riverside professor said: “Ladies and gentlemen what this means is a transfer of power, it means control, it means whose going to influence. And it is the young people, the people who are now moving to develop an agenda for the twenty first century that are really going to be in a position to really make the promise of what the Chicano movement was all about in terms of self-determination, in terms of empowerment, even in the terms of the idea of an Aztlan!” [More with audio clip]
    The United States of America is engaged in a demographic war that, if lost, will erase it and all of the progress made since 1776. Should we remain silent?

Related: Kindergartens see more Hispanic students

By Haya El Nasser and Paul Overberg–USA TODAY

The kindergarten class of 2010-11 is less white, less black, more Asian and much more Hispanic than in 2000, reflecting the nation’s rapid racial and ethnic transformation.The profile of the 4 million children starting kindergarten reveals the startling changes the USA has undergone the past decade and offers a glimpse of its future. In this year’s class, for example, about one out of four 5-year-olds will be Hispanic. Most of today’s kindergartners will graduate from high school in 2023.

More Hispanic children are likely in the next generation because the number of Hispanic girls entering childbearing years is up more than 30% this decade, says Kenneth Johnson, demographer at the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey Institute. “It’s only the beginning.”

A USA TODAY analysis of the most recent government surveys shows:

• About 25% of 5-year-olds are Hispanic, a big jump from 19% in 2000. Hispanics of that age outnumber blacks almost 2 to 1.

• The percentage of white 5-year-olds fell from 59% in 2000 to about 53% today and the share of blacks from 15% to 13%.

“This is not just a big-city phenomenon,” Johnson says. “The percentage of minority children is growing faster in the suburbs and in rural areas.”

In Lake County, Ind., a Chicago suburb, the under-20 population went from 51.8% white in 2000 to 47.1% in 2008, Johnson’s research shows. In rural Nebraska’s Colfax and Dakota counties, the share of Hispanic youths is rising while young whites are down from 60% to about 45% in the same period.

• Schools face linguistic challenges. The share of 5-year-olds who speak English at home slipped from 81% in 2000 to about 78%. The share of Spanish speakers grew from 14% to 16%.

“That makes issues of language development and how to teach them even more important than 10 years ago,” says W. Steven Barnett, co-director of the National Institute for Early Education Research at Rutgers University. “In some districts, 40% of their kids are Latino, and 4% of their teachers are. It’s a huge gap.”

Educators are grappling with the challenge, and “we really have a long way to go before we understand what the best methods are,” says Lisa Guernsey, director of the Early Education Initiative at the non-profit New America Foundation. Today’s kindergartners are tomorrow’s high schoolers, and “we need to know what their needs are.”

• Kindergarten enrollment is up, from 3.8 million in 2000 to about 4 million.

About two dozen Salinas police officers are set to take an intensive Spanish-language course to help them interact with, and get information from, non-English speakers.

The 24-hour voluntary course, spread over six weeks, is slated to start in about two weeks. In addition, officers will be asked to study at least two hours a day on their own.

The course is geared towards helping officers get certain information — from the names of people they interview to details that may lead to an arrest — when, for example, they respond to a crime scene or conduct a traffic stop.

“This isn’t like college,” said Salinas police Sgt. Mark Lazzarini. “You can’t learn the language in 24 hours. [The officers] will get what they put into it.”

The program is part of the Police Department’s outreach to the Salinas Spanish-language community.

More than 60 percent of the city’s residents speak Spanish as their primary language, while less than 25 percent of all sworn Salinas police personnel speak it, according to Police Chief Louis Fetherolf’s 180-day report, released in October.

“This is a matter of officer safety as well as positive service delivery ability,” Fetherolf says in the report.

In October, department spokesman Officer Lalo Villegas began a weekly Spanish-language radio program.

The Spanish course is certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or POST. It is taught by Alejandra Gomez of Public Safety Language Training based in Morgan Hill.

Gomez, who has 20 years of experience teaching Spanish, said the students will attend the classes each week beginning Sept. 15. Participants are provided with materials that allow them to study on their own for two hours every day.

The officers will also learn about Latino culture, she said, and be encouraged to practice the language in their day-to-day lives.

“When you take your lunch, ask the cook for his name in Spanish,” she said. “Learning a foreign language is like exercise. The only way you can get stronger is to work hard.”

The training is paid for by the Police Department. Officers have to take the course on their own time and can’t incur overtime for it.

Lazzarini could not provide the program’s cost Thursday, but said it was “reasonable” per student. Officers interested in taking the course need approval from their supervisor.

Other law enforcement officials, including Monterey County Sheriff’s deputies, will partake in the upcoming session.

The session is about double the size of the department’s first six-week course, held in the spring. Lazzarini said the first set went well, but due to police staffing shortages, several participants could not finish the course.

Gomez said there were times when an officer had to be called to a crime scene and missed a session.

Lazzarini has moved the classes from evenings to afternoons, which he hopes will be a better time for participants.

Gomez, who also teaches English at the Morgan Hill Community Adult School, said learning Spanish is a great tool for Salinas police officers but that it shouldn’t end there.

“Communication is a two-way street,” she said. “The Latino community also needs to learn English.”

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state’s controversial immigration law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations’ human rights commissioner.

The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.

In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is “downright offensive” that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.

“The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to ‘review’ by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional,” Brewer wrote.

Arizona’s law generally requires police officer enforcing other laws to investigate the immigration status of people they suspect are illegal immigrants.

Critics say it would lead officers to target Hispanics. Supporters, including Brewer, say the law prohibits racial profiling and other human rights abuses.

The U.S. Justice Department sued to block the measure, arguing federal law trumps the state’s authority to enforce immigration laws.

A federal judge in July sided with the Justice Department and blocked enforcement of the law’s most controversial provisions a day before it was scheduled to take effect.

In its report, the State Department does not specifically allege that Arizona’s law would lead to racial profiling.

“A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world,” the report says. “The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. That action is ongoing; parts of the law are currently enjoined.”

A State Department spokesman had no immediate comment on Brewer’s letter.

Brewer, a Republican, is running for election in November. Her popularity in Arizona and her national profile have soared since she signed the immigration measure in April.

Let’s not forget that Brewer supported open borders John McCain. She can’t be trusted and she’s officially on our shit list.

 HOUSTON CHRONICLE

Wetback Maria del los Angeles Rodriguez

 

Last week, Maria De Los Angeles Rodriguez walked through the double doors of Houston’s immigration courthouse, heading upstairs to a cramped courtroom for her third immigration hearing.

The 28-year-old University of Houston student was trying not to get her hopes up too much. She had good reason to be optimistic. A week before, the government had terminated her younger sister’s deportation proceedings in a separate case. But still, she thought, it might not happen to her.

As she sat quietly in the courtroom, the government’s attorney asked the judge to dismiss her case. The judge agreed, and within minutes her case was terminated. The judge told her she would not have to come back unless she committed a crime, she said.

“It happened so quickly,” said Rodriguez, an illegal immigrant whose parents brought her to the U.S. when she was 6 years old.

She felt a huge sense of relief.

“OK, good, it’s over,” she thought at the time. “I don’t have to come back here anymore.”

For the past month, the Department of Homeland Security has been systematically reviewing thousands of pending immigration cases in Houston and moving to dismiss those filed against suspected illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria, including living in the U.S. for more than two years and having no felony convictions. Immigration officials said on Thursday that they could not provide statistics on dismissals stemming from the review.

Wide range of cases

So far, the beneficiaries include illegal immigrants in a wide range of deportation cases, including an asylum seeker from El Salvador, a mother of two from Mexico and an elderly woman from Cameroon. Several college students from the University of Houston and University of Texas at Austin also have received notices that their cases have been dismissed. Many were related to U.S. citizens who filed immigration petitions on their behalf, but others were not.

Since the Houston Chronicle first reported about the reviews this week, DHS has taken a beating for creating what some critics are calling a “backdoor amnesty.”

Richard Rocha, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman, stressed on Thursday that the agency is not offering any kind of legalization in connection with the case dismissals. DHS also is not considering for removal anyone with a felony record or misdemeanors involving DWI, family violence or sex crimes.

By culling non-criminals from the nation’s clogged court system, immigration officials said they hoped to be able to better target criminals for removal. So far this fiscal year, Rocha said, the agency has removed more than 167,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records, a record number.

The new policy aims to “expedite the removal of criminal aliens and those who pose a danger to national security by ensuring these cases are heard,” Rocha said.

Still, the efforts have caused consternation among some members of Congress.

“The administration is picking and choosing which illegal immigration laws it wants to enforce,” said Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Calif., chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus. “What part of illegal does President Obama not understand?”

But supporters of the effort say DHS’ review of pending court cases is long overdue.

“This is what they should have been doing all along,” said Raed Gonzalez, a Houston immigration attorney.

‘A wave of relief’

Rodriguez, the UH student, and her younger sister, Elvia Rodriguez, came to the attention of immigration officials after their father filed paperwork with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services seeking to adjust his immigration status.

The two daughters were put into deportation proceedings in 2008 in separate cases.

Elvia, a 22-year-old senior at the University of Texas, was only a year old when her parents brought her to the U.S.

Her Spanish, she said, is “atrocious.” She grew up watching Animaniacs and listening to rapper Missy Elliot.

“I would call myself an American if I didn’t know better,” she said, describing news of her case’s dismissal as “a wave of relief.”

Maria, the older sister, said after she left court last week knowing she was no longer facing the threat of immediate deportation that she still felt a range of emotions, from being happy to upset.

“Everyone else is celebrating, but I’m not,” she said. “I still don’t have papers. I’m not celebrating until I have papers.”

———————————————————-

The media and crooked politicians want us focusing on the ‘poor innocent illegal alien children’, bypassing the root cause: the illegal alien parents. Yeah, I know, we will never go after the parents (especially now that Obama has given the green light for amnesty). To do so would mean the ‘poor innocent illegal alien kids’ gotta go too. And we can’t have the law not only applied, but applied equally.

Keep in mind that the illegal aliens that the court is dismissing from deportation simply haven’t been caught in the other crimes that they’ve committed. E.G., either working off the books, or using fraudulent/ stolen I.D. to work, driving, falsifying papers/ stealing funds to enter the university (who’s paying for that?). The court is actually giving them permission to continue to go on committing their crimes.

Our jails and prisons are full of U.S. citizens that apparently haven’t gotten the same breaks as these lying thieving illegal aliens.

ABC15

CASA GRANDE, AZ – Authorities in Pinal County are asking for the public’s help to catch a man accused of sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl in her home earlier this year.

Authorities say the suspect threatened to call immigration if the victim told them what happened.

“It scares me,” said the young victim, who ABC15 is not identifying due to the crime and her age.

[But oddly ABC15 does show her in an interview in the video above]

That Casa Grande girl recalls the night, January 27, when she says 25-year-old Alfredo Torres sexually abused her.

[Mexican illegal aliens know that if they report an alleged crime and cooperate with police that they will be given permanent resident cards, work permits, and a path to citizenship]

“He just came in and everything and started touching me and started laying down next to me and everything,” the teen said.

[He just came in? Where were her parents?]

She says Torres was high on cocaine at the time and wouldn’t stop when she said ‘no.’

[How exactly does she know he was high on cocaine?]

“He was actually sticking his hand down my shirt and then he was trying to pull my pants down and everything,” the girl said.

So now Pinal County Sheriff’s deputies and Casa Grande police are involved. They’re looking for Torres despite threats against the family and police.

“We consider him a dangerous individual not for just because of the acts that he’s committed against innocent victims but also in terms of the threats he’s made against law enforcement,” said Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.

[Mexican illegal aliens are NOT victims--they are the criminals...period]

Babeu says Torres is not only dangerous but a sick man who admits to having sex with horses.

[I'm not touching that one]


Torres has avoided capture so they need the public’s help to find him.

“Alfredo Torres is a dangerous sexual offender,” Babeu said.

They need help to protect innocent victims like the 16-year-old Casa Grande girl, Or others that may not have come forward about falling victim to Alfredo Torres.

[One again: Mexican illegal aliens are NOT victims, they are the criminals]

“I want him to go to jail because I know he’s been hurting somebody else, little girls and everything,” said the girl.

[This POS Mexican illegal alien knows he's been hurting "little girls and everything" (I'll take everything to mean farm animals--and exactly how does she know?) and eight months later she comes forward?]

Torres is described as 5 foot 4, 125 pounds with a thin build, black hair and a goatee. He apparently has tattoos on his chest of guns, marijuana and that of a rosary around his neck.

Authorities say Torres is known to carry weapons and should be considered armed and dangerous.

He is currently on probation for aggravated assault related to a prior sexual assault and sexual conduct with a minor. He violated his current probation by smoking marijuana and has a past history of resisting arrest, authorities said.

Judicial Watch

In a remarkable move that has stunned the legal profession, the Department of Homeland Security is systematically dismissing pending deportation cases against illegal aliens, even when the offenders have been previously convicted of crimes in the U.S.

The government agency charged with keeping America safe quietly began dropping cases against deportable illegal immigrants about a month ago, according to a story in Texas’s largest newspaper. The effort began in Houston and has baffled local immigration attorneys who say the government dismissed their clients’ deportation even when expulsion was virtually guaranteed. “It was absolutely fantastic,” said one lawyer who had three cases dismissed this week.

Five full-time Homeland Security attorneys are assigned to “review” all active cases in Houston’s immigration court, which is among the nation’s busiest, and an undisclosed number of others are reviewing cases nationwide. The plan is part of the Obama Administration’s broader strategy to prioritize the deportation of illegal aliens who present a national security or public safety threat. Undocumented immigrants determined by the administration to be harmless will be allowed to stay in the U.S.

In some cases, Homeland Security officials will allow illegal immigrants with criminal convictions to go free as long as the crimes don’t involve drunken driving, family violence or a sexual offense. For the most part, illegal aliens who have been in the U.S. for at least two years without a felony conviction will be allowed to stay, according to an attorney who serves as a liaison between the government and the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Can you say backdoor amnesty? It’s no secret that the president wants to legalize the country’s estimated 12 million undocumented aliens and in fact he has a backup plan to accomplish it if Congress doesn’t pass legislation to do it. Earlier this month a conservative news magazine exposed an internal Homeland Security document detailing the plan to enact “meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action.”

The administration has also implemented other measures to protect illegal aliens while an amnesty plan is crafted, including a directive prohibiting both federal and local law enforcement officers from arresting illegal immigrants as a result of traffic violations and an order halting the removal of some 700,000 undocumented students nationwide.

No doubt that actual U.S. citizens with pending court cases will not have theirs dismissed. It sure does pay to be a lying thieving illegal alien in America.

Celso Campo-Duartes, driver of a car that struck and killed 83-year-old Dacula resident in 2005.

Celso Campo-Duartes

Pro-illegal alien-AJC

An illegal immigrant who has been arrested five times for driving offenses, including a hit-and-run that ultimately left an elderly Dacula man dead, was back in court in Gwinnett County last week.

The family of Aubrey Sosebee, whom Celso Campo-Duartes was convicted of running over in 2005, wonders why the Mexican plumber is still in the United States.

“He shouldn’t have even been on the road, let alone this country,” said Gary Sosebee, one of the man’s sons.

Sosebee’s family believed Campo-Duartes would be sent back to Mexico after serving time on the hit-and-run charge.

The Sosebees received a letter from the Gwinnett County district attorney’s office informing them that Campo-Duartes was due back in court for a probation violation hearing.

“What’s he still doing in this country?” asked Sosebee, 55. “That’s what we want to know.”

Sosebee said his father, who had gone to retrieve the mail when he was run over, spent his last few months in a hospital bed, being fed by a tube. He was 83 when he died.

Gwinnett County Assistant District Attorney Rich Vandever said he routinely sees illegal immigrants pass through the system and back again.

“We deal with it every day,” Vandever told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “It really shows how the state’s hands are tied.”

Campo-Duartes served a little more than two years in the Gwinnett County Detention Center after he was arrested in October 2005 for serious injury by vehicle, driving without a license, driving without insurance, and having a tag from another vehicle on his car in the Sosebee case. He was not able to afford bond, according to court records, and spent the next 26 months behind bars.

Campo-Duartes initially rejected entering a guilty plea because the judge told him he risked deportation. According to the court transcript, the magistrate judge asked him if he understood the ramifications of pleading guilty, and Campo-Duartes said he did not. The case was set for trial at an undetermined date.

In the meantime, Campo-Duartes wrote Superior Court Judge Timothy Hamill, explaining that he has a wife, three children and a 60-year-old mother for whom he is the primary provider.The letter did not specify if the family was in Georgia or in Mexico. In his absence, he said, the family had lost their house and car and was in dire need of food.

In January 2008, he entered a negotiated plea to a charge of failure to stop at or return to the scene of an accident and was sentenced to two years in prison and three years of probation. Campo-Duartes was released for time served. It wouldn’t be long before he was back in police custody.

One year ago Saturday, he was arrested for driving without a license and released the same day on $760 bond. In October, he was arrested on the same charge. This time, an immigration hold was placed on him, meaning no bond could be issued. Nonetheless, according to jail records, Campo-Duartes was released eight days later.

Those arrests came before the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Department began participating in the 287(g) program — a partnership with the federal government that trains deputies to identify illegal immigrants in the county jail, then hand them over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)for possible deportation.

Cobb, Gwinnett, Hall and Whitfield counties and the Georgia State Patrol participate in the program.

Before 287(g), “our hands were pretty much tied,” said Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway. He said it is likely someone like Campo-Duartes jailed on a traffic-related offense was not checked.

“This just reinforces the need for that program in Gwinnett County,” Conway said. “I’ve said before that it was a revolving door in the past where an illegal immigrant could be arrested eight or 10 times and released even on bond or after 48 hours. It’s just more work on Gwinnett County government to process people that shouldn’t be here.”

Campo-Duartes was arrested again on May 28, charged with disorderly conduct and unlicensed driving. He would have been eligible for a $1,983 bond, but since the arrest is a violation of his probation, he is being held without bond. His hearing was continued until September because he didn’t have a lawyer yet.

.Now that Gwinnett has adopted 287g, Campo-Duartes will be handed over to federal immigration officials once this case is resolved.

In court Thursday, Campo-Duartes claimed he had already been deported, but there’s no record of it. If he was in fact deported and returned to the U.S. illegally, “that action constitutes a crime and the alien can be charged with illegal entry and, if convicted, can be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison,” said Ivan L. Ortiz-Delgado, a spokesman with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He said he could not speak about Campo-Duartes’ case without the defendant’s permission.

“From what we’ve gleaned, he probably was deported,” Vandever said. “But re-entry is another problem we have. We see people back in the country time and again even after they’ve been deported.”

Conway said he hopes to have definitive answers on Campo-Duartes’ fate by today.

“I want to know how it happened,” the sheriff told the AJC. “That’s just a failure of the system.”

Campos-Duartes is being held in the Gwinnett County Detention Center, and does not have legal representation at this time.

Had Enough? No?

By GINA SMITH–Herald On Line

Four percent of South Carolina’s 2010 high school graduation class was Hispanic. By 2022 — when this school year’s first-graders are seniors — that number will be 22 percent, according to data from the Southern Regional Education Board.

Three S.C. schools are majority Hispanic. Others are trending in that direction. Many S.C. teachers and principals say they are doing a good job meeting the demands of these students — now.

But state budget cuts and an unrelenting recession mean schools are not prepping for the oncoming increase in Hispanic students, many of whom will need help learning English and acclimating to a new culture.

Some in South Carolina do not want more Hispanic students, if they’re here illegally. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has said Congress should reexamine the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to any child born in the country.

Some state lawmakers are backing an Arizona-style immigration bill that would give law enforcement new powers to deport illegal immigrants.

And a new report by the Pew Hispanic Center is sure to raise the ire of some. That review of census data found that 8 percent of U.S. newborns have a parent who is an illegal immigrant even though illegal immigrants make up only 4 percent of the adult population. That’s likely to mean many more Hispanic students for the nation’s schools.

By law, schools must figure out a way to teach students, whether they’re in the country legally or not. Educators cannot question whether a student is here legally.

“Federal law requires that we educate all children that come to us regardless of immigration status,” explained Fatiha Bencheikh who runs Richland 1’s International Welcome Center in Columbia, a unique one-stop shop for international families enrolling their children in school. “It’s not our role to enforce immigration law or to report it. We try to be very inclusive and break down any obstacles that would prohibit a child from getting an education.”

HOW ONE SCHOOL IS MEETING THE NEED

Chuck Bagwell, principal of Arcadia Elementary in Spartanburg 6, takes lots of phone calls from stressed S.C. principals, seeking his advice on how best to teach the growing number of Hispanic students at their school.

How do they help these students succeed in the classroom, they ask Bagwell. What program can they buy? What did Bagwell do?

It makes Bagwell, who runs one of three S.C. schools that are majority Hispanic, smile. Hispanic enrollment this year at Arcadia Elementary is about 60 percent — up from about 25 percent when Bagwell first became principal seven years ago. Total enrollment is now about 360 students.

“I tell them it’s not about buying a program,” Bagwell said. “It’s about people — establishing relationships with people in your community. Then, the learning will come.”

Bagwell and his team have fostered relationships in their community, transforming a once-typical school that operated during regular school hours into a year-round community center.

Parents come to the school for free parenting classes to learn how to survive in their new American community. Often, it’s little things they need to learn, Bagwell said, like where’s the closest doctor’s office, details of the school calendar and the importance of bringing students to every single school day — a stark difference from how many schools operate in their native countries.

English classes also are offered for free to parents and community members. Those who are working and can’t make the class can use the school’s computer lab every day using Rosetta Stone software to learn the language.

Churches and local businesses keep a food pantry and a clothes pantry going on campus.

A partnership with the Boys & Girls Club funds an after-school program at the school that runs until 6 each evening, when parents are getting off work. There, students can get homework help and learn new school material.

“Our parents love their kids as much as anyone,” Bagwell said, “but if you don’t know how to speak or write English, you can’t help your children with their schoolwork. The after-school program helps the kids get all of their homework done with all the help they need. So by 6 o’clock, they’re all done with schoolwork, and parents don’t have to worry with it.”
