Uh...I hate to tell you this, but Travis McGee is no longer with us. That screenname has been banned.
I'm going to look for a thread that goes with this in a moment. I'll bump you back when I find it.
There was some odd money laundering thing going on with a charity in NJ and some large companies that donated to this charity that sent money to Vietnam.
John Smith declined an interview.
Good Observation!
Where is Cardinal Mahony in protecting these individuals rights!

Accused Alien Smuggling Kingpin and Financier Faces U.S. Prosecution
"Sister Ping" Brought to Justice After Eluding U.S. Officials For Ten Years
Washington, DC - The Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), announced today that Chui Ping Cheng aka "Sister Ping," has been extradited from Hong Kong to the United States. Cheng, an accused human smuggler and financier, has unsuccessfully waged a three-year extradition battle to elude American prosecution.
Cheng has been a fugitive since her 1994 New York indictment, as well as a superseding indictment in 2000 from New York, for alien smuggling, kidnapping, hostage taking and money laundering. In April 2000, she was arrested in Hong Kong after an intensive five-year worldwide investigation by ICE and the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Preying on Human Cargo
By Michael Maiello and Susan Kitchens, Forbes, May 20, 2004
This detailed article looks at the "shadowy contractors" who hook up illegal immigrants and arrange to get them jobs with service companies that offer cheap labor to corporate America.
Specifically, this article discusses the case of Kenneth Clancy, who ran "Facilities Solutions," a janitorial contracting firm that allegedly employed Mexican illegal immigrants to clean Wal-Mart stores around the United States. It is estimated that Clancy's five cleaning operations generated revenues of $500,000 annually; a member of his cleaning crew mand $350 per week.
It also looks at Cheng Chui Ping, known as "Sister Ping," who smuggled thousands of Chinese into the United States. Ping, now in jail, used gangs such as the Chinese "Fuk Ching" or the Vietnamese "Born to Kill" to manage newly arrived illegal immigrants and collect smuggling fees usually paid by relatives. Most of the illegal immigrants then spent years at below-minimum-wage jobs such as dishwashers to reimburse their families. It is believed that Sister Ping earned more than $30 million over the 15 years she engaged in people smuggling.
Petr Pospisil, recruited people from his native Czech Republic, put them in low-paying jobs, and took as much as $2 per hour from every worker he placed in addition to charging them rent and uitlities for cramped living quarters he provided. Pospisil's profits are estimated to have been $100,000 per month.
Maybe they can also be charged with some EEOC violations while we're at it. ;^)

Gee, a token enforcement, only 20 million to go and we may make a dent in Illegal employment.
IMO- Closer to 40 million.
Who wants to bet that NONE of these perps was born in the USA?
If they were part of the boat people that Carter let in the USA after Niet Nam, this is another nail in the coffin of the worst president this country ever had. Clinton was just the most immoral.
We have 11-30 million illegals in this country and the arrest of 6 makes news! rofl!!!!!
How telling is that.
Bump be bump bump
Post 27 is closer to that though.
Ping, Cheng and company brought the rest in.
Some campagn monies can be traced to Clinton, Torricelli and the ilk.
FREEPER ACTIVISM Publicly-held companies engaged in activities----hiring illegals----are violating their fiducoary duties. Remember, the SEC wants to know if publicly-held companies, their execs and Board of Directors put shareholders' investments at risk - either by utilizing risky short-term wage gains, or violating accounting laws with regard to Sarbanes-Oxley. Fraudulent filings or not filing with the IRS could also play a huge part in this. EMAIL your concerns to enforcement@SEC.gov
FREEPER ACTIVISM: Every civic-minded citizen who is aware of municipalities and duly elected officials encouraging ILLEGALS to break the law, to unlawfully vote using fraudulent documentation, aiding and abetting lawbreaking, and/or enabling felonious activity should report to the proper law enforcement authorities.
FREEPER ACTIVISM: Aiding and abetting lawbreaking, and enabling felonious activity should be reported. If your state and town's elected and appointed officials are misusing tax funds for illegal purposes, investors and holders of tax-exempt bonds for transportation and highways, municipal school bonding, utilities bonding, and the like, have been placed in financial jeopardy. The SEC should be advised of yours, and bondholders, concerns. EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FREEPER ACTIVISM: If municipalities advertising and using ballot referenda for tax-exempt municipal, transportation and highway bonds, municipal school bonding, utilities bonding, and the like, are ignorsing illegal voting practices, are aiding and abetting illegals activities, and ignoring fraudulent documentation, they are violating their fiduciary responsibility and engaging in felonious activity. They could be held criminally liable. The SEC should be advised of your concerns. EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov.
FREEPER ACTIVISM: If the bonding agents for tax-exempt municipal transportation and highways, municipal school bonding, utilities bonding, and the like, are ignoring illgal activities, the SEC should be advised of your concerns. EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov.
FREEPER ACTIVISM Most bonding agents conducting municipal business are registered broker-dealers and members of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). NASD and SIPC should also be contacted regarding your concerns about illegal activity.
FREEPER ACTIVISM Banks doing bonding business with states and municipalities that are conducting illegal activity are violatuing their fiduciary duties, and jeopardizing bank patrons, shareholders, and depositors and should be reported as follows: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is the primary federal regulator for national banks.

FREEPER ACTIVISM If duly elected officials are encouraging ILLEGALS to break the law, to obtain the unlawful right to vote using fraudulent documentation, and if elected and appointed officals did, in fact, allow illegals to break the law to serve on municipal councils, and if illegals are making monetary (taxing) decisions for U.S. Citizens, this might be a violation of the Hobbs Act......
If elected and appointed officials took campaign contributions from said illegals, this could be characterized as extortion, and/or bribery, and a violation of the Hobbs Act. The Hobbs Act was used recently to nail four Tenn state legislators and their aids in an extortion scheme. The TENN groups was arrested under the federal Hobbs Act, charging extortion, conspiracy to extort and attempted extortion, and accepting bribes by an agent of the state.
The Hobbs Act covers extortion by public officials, as follows: 2403 Hobbs Act -- Extortion By Force, Violence, or Fear. In order to prove a violation of Hobbs Act extortion by the wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear...............

Politician's SOLUTION: Step One- Go after the wage earning taxpayer for more tax money to pay for the social, educational etc. costs of the illegals.
Step Two- Watch the corporate money flow in to your election fund.
Step Three- Keep enough summer days open on schedule for all those corporate freebie golf outings at expensive hotels and private clubs. (Remember- If they don't offer a private jet, just say, "Great, but I have no way of getting there.")
Pay to play
FREEPER ACTIVISM------REPORT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND REGULATORY AGENCIES ONLY
Thanks.
I just spent a chunk of my day drafting letters to my senators, congresswoman, and GOP (national and state organizations) to insist that they show some backbone against illegal immigration. It feels futile sometimes, but putting it on paper (or electrons . . . ) at least helps me to put my thoughts together so I can answer my kids' questions more intelligently!
