More immigrants getting licenses

BURIEN, Wash. — Carlos Hernandez packed up his family and left Arizona after the state passed its sweeping immigration crackdown. The illegal immigrant's new home outside Seattle offered something Arizona could not: a driver's license.

Three states — Washington, New Mexico and Utah — allow illegal immigrants to get licenses because their laws do not require proof of citizenship or legal residency. An Associated Press analysis found that those states have seen a surge in immigrants seeking IDs in recent months, a trend experts attribute to crackdowns on illegal immigration in Arizona and elsewhere...

14 foreign-born gang members arrested in Southern Indiana

Federal, state and local law enforcement agents arrested 14 foreign-born gang members and associates Tuesday in Jasper, Huntingburg and Evansville, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Securities Investigations unit.

“Street gangs pose a growing public safety threat to Indiana’s rural communities,” said Daniel T. Dill, resident agent in charge of the ICE-HSI office in Indianapolis. “With each gang member we arrest and remove from the United States, we make a positive impact in our communities.”...

Illegal Immigration: Someone Has to Step Up and Enforce the Law

The Times-Dispatch said that "setting immigration policy is a federal job. Washington needs to shoulder the responsibility it has abdicated." I agree. However, protecting the lives of citizens is the duty of every level of government. The federal government has failed to protect citizens from illegal aliens who commit crimes. The federal government's failure, however, is no excuse for states and localities to abdicate our duties as well. That is the principal that guides the Virginia rule of law campaign.

Prince William County's rule of law policy, the original version of which was introduced by Supervisor John Stirrup in June 2007, mandates that every individual under custodial arrest, regardless of race or ethnicity, be checked for immigration status. Those checks resulted in 3,000 illegal aliens being handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation. But the real impact of Prince William's policy was not the immigration checks, but the message that it sent: If you are illegal, you would be wise to leave our community or, at least, stay out of trouble...

After My Daughter's Death -- A Father's View of the Immigration Debate

My 16-year-old daughter, Tessa, was killed by an illegal immigrant in Virginia Beach three years ago while sitting at a stop light. Her friend Ali Kunhardt, 17, also perished instantly.

Beautiful girls with tons of future plans, they had just stopped at a convenience store for a pack of gum at 10 on a Friday night. I can imagine that they were giggling about something as they waited for the red light to turn green. Tessa was in the passenger seat. I’ll never forget her laugh.

The explosion was so loud that witnesses said it sounded like a bomb going off, hit from behind by a black Mitsubishi going more than 70 mph. They were tiny, skinny little girls stuffed somewhere in the floorboards when the police and EMT crew arrived.

When I got to the hospital in what seemed like a dream sequence, Tessa’s bed was lying next to Ali’s, separated by a privacy curtain. Both girls were perfectly still, skin cold to the touch...

Colorado issuing unemployment checks to illegal aliens

The group Judicial Watch has reported that the state of Colorado has been paying illegal aliens unemployment benefits since an official with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) ordered the agency to stop using software which screened out those in this county illegally.

In 2009, CDLE’s unemployment director, Mike Cullen, issued a “top priority” work order to shut down the safeguards designed to prevent illegal aliens from receiving taxpayer-funded checks. A recently intercepted internal memo revealed the action...

Denver mandates verification of immigration status for construction contracts

The Denver City Council gave final approval Monday night to a measure requiring construction contractors vying for city work to verify the immigration status of their employees.

The ordinance, which passed by a 9-4 vote, makes construction firms use the federal E-Verify program to validate new employees' immigration status as a condition of holding a city contract. The firms must also vouch for their existing employee's immigration status before being awarded the contract.

"This is saying, 'We're doing our best as a city to make sure our contractors ... are using workers who are qualified to work under the laws of the land," said Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz, who co-sponsored the ordinance.

The new rule will go into effect Oct. 1. The city already requires the same check for companies hoping to win a service contract.

E-Verify is an online database that checks information on an employee's I-9 form — on which identifying information like Social Security documentation is registered — against data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. It is one of two databases prospective state contractors can use in complying with state immigration status-verification rules.

"No citizen or legal resident should have to compete with workers who are here illegally," said Councilman Charlie Brown...

ICE Union employees: ICE Director won't let us enforce U.S. immigration laws

In the midst of a leaked Department of Homeland Security immigration memo that made it to Senator Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, outlining ways for the Obama Administration to give amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, the Center for Immigration Studies yesterday posted a letter that was authored on June 11, 2010 by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Union President Chris Crane titled: "VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN ICE DIRECTOR JOHN MORTON AND ODPP ASSISTANT DIRECTOR PHYLLIS COVEN":

On June 11, 2010, the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council and its constituent local representatives from around the nation, acting on behalf of approximately 7,000 ICE officers and employees from the ICE Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), cast a unanimous “Vote of No Confidence” in the Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), John Morton, and the Assistant Director of the ICE Office of Detention Policy and Planning, (ODPP), Phyllis Coven.

According to CIS: “The letter, acquired through sources, provides a litany of examples of how ICE's mission is being skewed towards supporting an unflinching goal of amnesty by refusing to allow agents to do their job; allowing criminal aliens to roam free; depleting resources for key enforcement initiatives that preceded this administration; and misrepresenting facts and programs, demeaning the extent of the criminal alien problem and geared to support amnesty.”...

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Gave Millions to La Raza

August 9, 2010

A 2002 annual report breaking down money doled out by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation reveals the foundation provided a grant to National Council of La Raza. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is arguably the largest “charitable” organization in the world.



obamalights.jpg



The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation gave La Raza over $6 million in 2002.


Gates gave $6,661,364 to the racist organization for education, according to the foundation’s website. La Raza has also received financial support from the Ford Foundation. For instance, in 1968, the globalist foundation gave La Raza $600,000, according to research conducted by Philip Brennan.

La Raza’s website admits “the organization receives two-thirds of its funding from corporations and foundations, and the rest from the government.” For the period 1992-1996, the total amount of “gifts, grants and contributions” to La Raza was more than $38 million.

The Ford Foundation has also funded the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF). According to Mario Obeldo, former head of MALDEF, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who does not like it should leave.” In 1998, Obledo was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Clinton.

La Raza’s motto is “For the race everything, outside the race nothing” (“Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada”). La Raza is associated with the radical racist group Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán (MEChA), an organization that espouses Aztec supremacism and irredentism (specifically advocating the annexation of the American Southwest). Mestizo activists believe they have a legal and primordial right to the land and propose that a new nation be created, a Republica del Norte. The primary vehicle for creating this Aztec nation is La Reconquista, a demographic “revolution” that strives to supplant “gringos” in the Southwest with an influx of illegal Mexican immigrants.

According to La Raza, border control is racist. The organization condemns the “step-up [in] immigration law enforcement significantly along the U.S./Mexico border and in the interior of the country” claiming such activities violate the civil rights of Hispanics.

A recent poll conducted by Fox News reveals that most Americans believe the federal government is failing to enforce the country’s immigration laws. In addition, voters are more likely to favor than oppose Arizona’s new immigration law that was blocked by a federal judge last week.

As Kevin Lamb notes, the Gates and Ford foundations, along with the Soros and Rockefeller foundations, have long funded and supported “well-organized ethnic-immigrant lobbies and advocacy groups, which are actively working to transform the U.S. into a borderless society,” a cornerstone of the globalist vision and the end game of world government. La Raza, MEChA, and other so-called Hispanic civil rights organizations calling for an unrestricted flow of illegal immigrants are indispensable for this one-world agenda.

In addition to striving to eliminate borders and destroy the national sovereignty of the United States, Bill Gates has worked tirelessly as a eugenicist dedicated to reduce world population, another key objective of the elite. “First we got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent,” Gates said during an invitation-only conference held in Long Beach, California, earlier this year.

“In plain English, one of the most powerful men in the world states clearly that he expects vaccines to be used to reduce population growth. When Bill Gates speaks about vaccines, he speaks with authority,” writes F. William Engdahl.

La Raza and MEChA need to take note. The globalist foundations are not primarily concerned with the civil liberties of people in the third world, including Mexico, but are rather determined to exploit them in order to further their one-world and ultimately eugenics depopulation agenda.

Pa., N.J. Move Forward With E-Verify; Will Feds Follow?

Frustrated with the failure of the federal government to pass meaningful immigration reform, states have moved in to fill the void. While Arizona has recently received much of the press regarding this issue, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have also moved forward to introduce E-Verify legislation designed to combat the employment of unauthorized workers.

At the same time, President Obama's administration has stepped up worksite enforcement initiatives and has called on Congress to enact comprehensive immigration legislation that would contain a federal E-Verify requirement. The message is clear: Employers must achieve compliance.

E-Verify is an internet-based Employment Eligibility Verification System run by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, or USCIS, that allows employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of newly hired employees. E-Verify allows an employer to electronically compare employee-provided information from Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, against records in the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security databases...

Culture of child rape being imported by unchecked, illegal immigration

Lake Placid Police Dept
Last week, police in Lake Placid, New York arrested Pedro Valladares Martinez, 27, and charged him with lewd and lascivious on a 13-year-old girl. Martinez had sex with the girl on multiple occasions, and the girl is now pregnant.

Police began their investigation of Martinez after Highlands County Courthouse employees reported that the girl’s family was attempting to obtain a marriage license for her and Martinez.

Lake Placid police released the following statement: “Interviews with the suspect and the victim found that sex occurred more than once at the victim's residence in Lake Placid, and resulted in the victim becoming pregnant.”

Martinez is currently being held in the Highland County Jail.

It seems that there has been an explosion of these types of cases in recent years, and it coincides with the explosion of illegal immigration, mostly from Mexico, currently flooding this country.

The most troubling and telling reason behind the growing epidemic of child molestation at the hands of Mexican illegal aliens, is the fact the age of sexual consent throughout the majority of Mexico is 12 years of age...

150 Illegal Immigrants Found During Arrests

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- It's been about two months since Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry ordered police officers and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to fingerprint everyone who is arrested and check their immigration status.

According to ICE officials, already 150 illegal immigrants have been arrested.

"The focus of this program is to make our streets safer," said Albuquerque Public Safety Director Darren White. "These are 150 people who were accused of breaking the law and who are in this country illegally."

White said none of these illegal immigrants are innocent and that they've all been arrested for serious offenses.

"When you look at some of the charges, from DWI to some of these violent felonies, these are not people you want on our streets," said White...

Editorial: Illegal immigration program has merit

Yet another effort to address illegal immigration is being surrounded by controversy.

The federal government is rapidly expanding a program to identify illegal immigrants using fingerprints from arrests, drawing opposition from authorities and advocates who argue the initiative amounts to an excessive dragnet, according to The Associated Press.

The program, called Secure Communities, has received less attention than Arizona's new immigration law, but it may end up having a bigger impact because of its potential to round up and deport so many illegal immigrants nationwide.

Under the program, the fingerprints of everyone who is booked into jail for any crime are run against FBI criminal history records and Department of Homeland Security immigration records to determine who is in the country illegally and whether they've been arrested previously. Most jurisdictions are not included in the program, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been expanding the initiative.

Since 2007, 467 jurisdictions in 26 states have joined. ICE has said it plans to have every jail in the country by 2013...

Utah immigration bill coming next week, despite call for moratorium, Sandstrom says

SALT LAKE CITY — His get-tough bill to crack down on illegal immigrants in Utah will be ready this week, Rep. Stephen Sandstrom, R-Orem, told an immigration forum Saturday — right after a long-time Hispanic activist urged a moratorium on new state immigration laws.

The goal of the forum, the first of several planned by the Utah Hispanic Latino Coalition, was to civilly find solutions to illegal immigration. The result: Well … it was civil, at least.

"State solutions muddy the waters, and they bring out the rhetoric and the nastiness," suggested Archie Archuleta, head of the Utah Coalition of La Raza, hoping for a moratorium.

But Sandstrom's bill is still on track.

"We're just getting the language finished up," he said, adding that the bill "will stand up in court."...

Boehner Says Study Ending Birthright Citizenship

(NewsCore) - House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) Sunday said he is open to talks on changing the U.S. Constitution -- or at least the way it is interpreted -- so that U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are not automatically U.S. citizens.

"I think it's worth considering," Boehner said on NBC's "Meet The Press" program.

The top House Republican joined Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in calling for further study of the idea -- something that has been endorsed by prominent Republicans over the past few weeks. Though the call is already running into stiff opposition and faces extremely long odds of ever succeeding, some lawmakers say it would be a way to minimize the incentive for illegal immigration.

"There is a problem. To provide an incentive for illegal immigrants to come here so that their children can be U.S. citizens does, in fact, draw more people to our country," Boehner said. "I do think that it's time for us to secure our borders and enforce the law and allow this conversation about the 14th Amendment to continue."...

Ohio will do what it can until federal government tackles immigration reform (Ohio - August 6, 2010)

Across the nation, a fierce debate is raging over illegal immigration, fueled by the recent passage of a law in Arizona which says that if a person is stopped by the police for committing an offense, a law enforcement officer can ask for proof of citizenship if they have reason to believe the person is in the country illegally.

The controversy over this proposal has led to clashes between activists and police in the southwest, sparked heated rhetoric among public officials and other interest groups and incited calls by some for a boycott against travel to Arizona.

This past week, hours before Arizona's new immigration rules were scheduled to officially become law, a U.S. District Court judge blocked a number of key provisions in the bill from taking effect. It is anticipated that the legal battle will not end there, however, and the case could eventually end up before the Supreme Court to decide.

Federal officials maintain it is the federal government's role to govern immigration, not the states. Supporters of Arizona's statute, on the other hand, say these new rules do not subvert federal law, but support it.

Most Americans, including myself, support legal immigration but are concerned about the flood of illegal aliens entering the country on our southern border and its impact on the stability of taxpayer resources and our national security...

Williamsburg Police Department
Police in Williamsburg, Va., have arrested a juvenile, whose name is being withheld due to his age for repeatedly raping a 6-year-old girl. His arrest comes after two others, Tito Guirao-Aguilar, 39, and Samuel Eli Jacobo-Guirao, 20, were apprehended for victimizing the girl.

Guirao-Aguilar has been charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery of a person under the age of 13, and Jacobo-Guirao is charged with one count of rape of a person under the age of 13 and two counts of aggravated sexual battery of a person under 13.

Both men are being held in the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail without bond. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also placed a hold on them.

The most popular tourist destination in the state, Williamsburg has a growing crime problem attributable to its illegal alien population, who are largely employed by the hotel and restaurant industry.

On June 10, Williamsburg police arrested illegal alien Raul Vasquez-Garcia, 33, in front of the same apartment complex where he allegedly shot a man, a week earlier.

On the night of June 4, police arrived at the Village of Woodshire apartments on Merrimac Trail, they found a man suffering from two gunshot wounds. According to police, the man and Vasquez-Garcia had been arguing over a woman.

The victim was taken to a local hospital, where he recovered from his wounds and has since been released.

Vasquez-Garcia is charged with attempted murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and assault.

Documents reveal potential widespread fraud at Department of Labor

Independence Investigates” has obtained internal emails from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) showing that a software control intended to prevent the payment of unemployment insurance to unqualified citizens as well as to illegal aliens was shut off in early 2009.

The emails dictate that former CDLE unemployment insurance director Mike Cullen demanded “Work Order 51662” be given top priority within the department. Completion of the work order would mean various questions asked of someone filing for unemployment regarding citizenship would effectively be ignored by a computer system.

The documents also show that several individuals within the department immediately raised the issue that the work order might be circumventing the law, specifically House Bill 06-1023. HB 1023 was passed in a special session of the legislature in 2006, and mandated that certain government benefits, such as unemployment insurance, be denied to illegal aliens...

Mixed family welfare benefits controlled by illegal alien parents

According to data release by Utah’s Workforce Services, 10% of Utah families receiving public assistance have a blend of citizens and undocumented immigrants relying on public benefits to survive.

While it may be technically correct to say that illegal aliens do not qualify directly for taxpayer funded, welfare benefits, the Workforce Services figures show that in reality illegal aliens are directly benefiting from taxpayer funded welfare programs through their American born children.

Illegal aliens clearly rely on their children's taxpayer funded benefits to help make ends meet...

10 pct. of households receiving aid are mixed-immigration status

SALT LAKE CITY — Ten percent of the Utah households that receive food stamps, Medicaid or government welfare are a blend of illegal immigrants and U.S. citizens, according to new data released by the state.

Illegal immigrants cannot receive such benefits directly, except for some emergency health care. But any of their children born in the United States become automatic U.S. citizens and may receive benefits.

Department of Workforce Services data requested by the Deseret News shows that 23,837 such mixed-status households received some benefits between June 2009 and May of this year.

That is 10 percent of the 238,521 total Utah households that received such help. DWS collects data from illegal immigrants because the income of all household members affects eligibility of citizens for benefits and the amounts they may receive...
