On June 18, 2010, Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told the audience at a North Phoenix Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private, one-on-one meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office, the President told him, regarding securing the southern border with Mexico, "The problem is, . . . if we secure the border, then you all won't have any reason to support 'comprehensive immigration reform.'" [Audible gasps were heard throughout the audience.] Sen. Kyl continued, "In other words, they're holding it hostage. They don't want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with 'comprehensive immigration reform.'"

Sen. Kyl also said he reminded President Obama that the President and the Congress has an obligation, a duty, to secure the border.

Six Years For Driver In Fatal Crash (Elyria, Ohio - June 22, 2010)

ELYRIA — A six-year prison sentence and a lifetime ban on driving for the man who killed Neil Jalowiec in a drunken driving crash last year wasn’t enough for Jalowiec’s family.

“My dad believed in the system and the system failed him,” Jalowiec’s daughter, Leesha Doehr, said as she and other family members filed out of Lorain Common Pleas Judge Edward Zaleski’s courtroom in tears on Monday.

Doehr and her family had asked Zaleski to impose the maximum prison sentence of 10 years on Emelio Hernandez Perez, the 24-year-old Mexican national who was behind the wheel of the Jeep Grand Cherokee that plowed into the back of Jalowiec’s Buick LeSabre on Dec. 15.

Perez was at more than twice the legal drinking limit when the crash occurred. Witnesses said he was weaving through traffic and didn’t hit the brakes before slamming into Jalowiec’s vehicle, which was stopped at a traffic light at state Route 57 and West River Road.

Jalowiec died of internal chest and abdominal injuries, while Hernandez Perez was treated and released from the hospital.

“My life is forever changed because of a drunk Mr. Perez, who got behind the wheel of a killing machine and murdered my husband,” Jalowiec’s wife of 42 years, Raeme Jalowiec, said during Monday’s hearing. Her hands shook as she spoke...

Dad Fears Accused Killer Will Go Free

JAMES CITY COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) - The deaf, mute, illegal immigrant arrested five years ago for allegedly raping and murdering a 16-year-old girl could possibly be set free without ever standing trial.

Oswaldo Martinez, 36, from El Salvador, is not able to speak, hear, read or write. Prosecutors said Tuesday that if the state is not able to teach the accused killer sufficient sign language so that he can communicate with his attorneys and stand trial, it is possible the judge would be unable to figure out what to do with Martinez, except set him free.

Martinez was charged in February 2005 with Capital Murder. Police said his DNA matched evidence from the crime scene where Brittany Binger's body was found the month before, at the grassy entrance to Whispering Pines Mobile Home Park where she lived.

Lakewood Police Round Up Illegal Roofing Workers (Lakewood, Ohio - June 23, 2010)

LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- Lakewood police took into custody a crew of roofing workers who were illegally in the country.

The incident June 10 might be evidence that storm chasers who swooped into the area after recent hail storms are indeed using undocumented workers as they pick up insurance-funded roofing work. Many roofers have alleged as much.

Officer Joseph Eikens stopped a Dodge Ram truck with Texas plates because its driver and passenger windows were so darkly tinted the officer could not see inside. A companion truck pulled over behind it.

According to the police report, several occupants in both vehicles said that they were in the country illegally and that they were in Lakewood working for Aspen Construction. They gave Aspen's Westlake sales office as their address.

Aspen is headquartered in Missouri but has sales offices across Ohio, according to Vice President Pat Nussbeck.

Nussbeck said that Aspen subcontracted its roofing work to a Louisiana company. Nussbeck said his company requires subcontractors to vouch that their workers are covered by liability insurance and workers' comp and are eligible to work in the United States. Nussbeck said Aspen would press the subcontractor to comply with its contract.

Police handed six people over to U.S. Customs/Border Patrol after the traffic stop.

Senators Warn Obama: 'No Amnesty By Presidential Fiat'

White House rumored to be planning stay of deportation for millions of illegals

Amid buzz that President Obama may be seeking to parole or "defer action" on millions of illegal aliens in the U.S., eight Republican senators are warning the president not to advance any such plan.

"There's a lot we can agree on when it comes to dealing with the immigration problems in the United States, but this appears to be amnesty in disguise, and is simply an attempt to circumvent Congress," Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in a statement.

Grassley and Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah; Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; David Vitter, R-La.; Jim Bunning, R-Ky.; James Inhofe, R-Okla.; Thad Cochran, R-Miss.; and Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., signed a letter to the president dated June 21.

"We understand that there's a push for your administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States," they wrote in their letter. "We understand that the administration may include aliens who have willfully overstayed their visas or filed for benefits knowing that they will not be eligible for a status for years to come."

"Deferred action" is granted by the Department of Homeland Security. It's a short-term suspension of deportation hearings for illegal aliens. With "deferred action," illegals are often allowed to apply for employment authorization cards.

The lawmakers noted that "deferred action" and parole are discretionary actions reserved for "individual cases that present unusual, emergent or humanitarian circumstances."

"Deferred action and parole were not intended to be used to confer a status or offer protection to large groups of illegal aliens, even if the agency claims that they look at each case on a 'case-by-case' basis," they wrote...

Piecemeal Amnesty Watch

[From NationalReview.com]

From today's Politico, more evidence that amnesty advocates are mulling a change of strategy from a "comprehensive" bill (one that would amnesty all illegal immigrants) to smaller, more targeted measures:

Last Thursday, at a closed-door meeting between senior Democratic senators and immigration reform advocates, the parties concluded that passing a comprehensive bill would be an extremely tall order this year because of stiff GOP opposition and uneasiness among some Democratic moderates. A number of advocates felt that bringing up a billthis year, only to see it fail, could set back reform efforts for years, according to several people familiar with the meeting.

So Reid and his allies are considering abandoning a comprehensive bill until after November, for possible action in a post-election session or in the 112th Congress, which begins in January 2011.

Where does that leave Reid with the Latinos he’s wooing back home? Looking for smaller victories.

Reform advocates are beginning to lobby fence-sitting Republicans to see if they’d go along with supporting narrower immigration issuesthis year — strictly dealing with undocumented agricultural workers and children of illegal immigrants.

That refers to the AgJobs bill (an amnesty for current illegal-alien farmworkers and an indentured labor program for future ones) and the Dream Act (an amnesty for illegal aliens brought here as children).

And there's this:

Immigration reform doesn’t exactly top most senators' election-year wish lists.

"The tax cuts expire, so they gotta come up this year," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.). "Immigration? There is no expiration date on immigration."

"There's no expiration date on immigration" — exactly, and that's why even the pro-amnesty people should be for enforcement-first. If we finally get real enforcement, not all the illegals will deport themselves or be deported; there's no expiration date on their illegal status, meaning amnesty advocates could then, several years from now, plead their case to what would be a more sympathetic public. But that would mean some significant number of illegals would have to leave first, and that's apparently unacceptable.

PAINESVILLE HERITAGE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT PAPER UPDATE

I spoke with Dr Hanlon, Superintendent of Painesville City Schools, at length this today, June 22, 2010, about the first issue of this school paper in which a student editorial with many untruths in it about Arizona 1040 was published ,and I feel this issue has been resolved successfully.

He candidly confessed several times that a mistake had been made, though not intentionally or maliciously and I agree.

He spoke with Principal Ramos and the 3 unpaid teacher volunteers working with the PTA on the Heritage school paper. He reviewed with them proper protocol and guidelines for future school publications like this one that fall under the category of "limited purpose public/forum." The teachers realize that the paper should be concerning itself with school issues/activities like lunches in the cafeteria, school contests, sports and the like. They should be vetted before publication by the principal and superintendent.

He had also been in contact with the Gazette as have I, and Dr Hanlon said that no issues of the paper went to any students since they got the copies after school recessed for the summer, and he said that 900 copies are still at the school and WILL NOT BE DISTRIBUTED.

The copies that went out only went to the Painesville Gazette subscribers. I told him that my letter to the editor would most likely be published this Friday in the Tribune/Gazette and he said they were drafting a letter as well admitting their mistake in allowing the letter to be published. We agreed that the letters to the editor would negate any need for the issue to be reopened in the fall issue of the paper by my writing the opposing viewpoint in rebuttal, especially since no students took that paper home.

The conversation was very cordial and I asked that if the school ever needs anyone to speak to students on opposing viewpoints to keep us in mind. I mentioned that this entire episode was a good lesson in journalism for both teachers and students.

Senators Challenge Pres. Obama On Rumors Of Executive Order Amnesty

Several Senators have learned of a possible plan by the Obama Administration that would provide a mass Amnesty for the nation's 11-18 million illegal aliens. Led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), eight Senators addressed a letter to the President asking for answers to questions about a plan that would allow DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide an amnesty if they can't secure enough votes for a bill in the Senate.

The letter that was sent to Pres. Obama earlier today asks the President for clarification on the use of deferred action or parole for illegal aliens. The executive actions are typically used in special cases and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but if 60 votes can't be secured in the Senate to pass a mass Amnesty, the Administration may use the discretionary actions as an alternative...

Ohio Patriots Protest Catholic Church

It may not have been the biggest anti-illegal demonstration in recent months, but any time Americans pin the tail on the Catholic church for its fifth-column activities, attention must be paid. Many churches work for the benefit of illegal alien lawbreakers and against law-abiding citizens, but the Catholics are the big dogs leading the pack.

The anti-American church in question (St. Julie Billiart) is located in Hamilton, Ohio, and apparently sees servicing illegal alien job thieves as part of its ministry. On Saturday, it got some pushback to its immoral policy of aiding lawbreakers.

Below, Johnny Van Styn unloaded signs on Saturday to voice his opposition to the Catholic Church’s open-borders ideology and actions.

His statistics are spot on. A 2009 Zogby poll found that 64 percent of Catholics supported enforcement to encourage illegals to go home and 69 percent thought immigration was too high...

City To Push Immigration Reform (Columbus, Ohio - 06/19/2010)

Columbus council readies resolution calling on Congress to enact uniform national policy

Columbus is about to jump back into the immigration debate.

A month after Mayor Michael B. Coleman touched off a nationwide backlash by banning city-worker travel to Arizona, City Council members are poised to endorse immigration reforms that would both tighten U.S. borders and grant legal status to undocumented workers now in the country.

Councilwoman Charleta B. Tavares will sponsor a resolution on Monday that calls on Congress to "solve our broken immigration system" and urges federal and state lawmakers to help cities pay for the services they provide for immigrants.

"It's a message to Congress: You are responsible, and all 50 states need uniform immigration policies," Tavares said. "It should be done in a comprehensive way, not a piecemeal way."...

Illegal Immigrant Admits Raping, Killing Ala. Woman; Will Reveal Accomplice

The illegal immigrant who confessed to raping and killing an Alabama homecoming queen in a West Knoxville hotel room made a vow Thursday to expose his accomplice.

"That is a promise I make to the family (to) give them some peace," Valentino Vasquez Miranda said via an interpreter in Knox County Criminal Court.

Miranda admitted at a hearing Thursday that he used a master key to get inside a sleeping Jennifer Lee Hampton's hotel room at the Days Inn on Lovell Road and then raped and strangled her in September 2008.

As part of a plea deal approved by Judge Bob McGee, Miranda was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after a mandatory 51-year prison term...

Illegal Immigrants With Gang Ties Targeted In Sweep

More than two dozen illegal immigrants with ties to violent street gangs were arrested in a three-day Chicago-area sweep led by federal immigration officials.

The arrests of 26 people took place Monday through Wednesday as part of a national initiative by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency targeting gang members who are foreign-born, according to a release from the agency.

In total, 22 of those arrested are documented gang members, according to immigration officials. One U.S. citizen also was arrested on a battery and resisting a police officer charge when immigration officials were making another arrest June 14 with Palatine police. Also, three illegal immigrants from Mexico who are not gang members were arrested on administrative immigration violations, according to the release.

Immigration officials worked with the Palatine, Rolling Meadows, Mount Prospect, Streamwood, Hanover Park and Elgin police in the operation.

The gang members belonged to three gangs, the Imperial Gangsters, the Sureno 13s, and the Latin Kings, officials said.

Palatine police and immigrant agents arrested Rodolfo Lira, 38, of the northwest suburb, on a Cook County warrant for violation of probation, according to officials and court records. Lira pleaded guilty in 2008 to a felony forgery charge, but a violation of probation petition was granted against him this spring. A warrant was issued for his arrest last month, and he is now being held on $10,000 bail after appearing in court this week, according to court and jail records.

The names of the others arrested in this week's sweep were not immediately available.

The initiative that the arrests were part of, Operation Community Shield, began in February 2005 and has resulted in the arrest of more than 17,500 gang members or gang associates who were affiliated with more than 900 gangs, according to officials.

Woman Steal's 11-Month-Old's Social Security Number
