Saturday, August 06, 2005 - The Daily Bulletin has managed to spark the attention of many with this series of articles on immigration. I've noticed a lot of angry backlash from citizens who think the newspaper is attempting to appeal to the bleeding hearts and stoke some compassion for our ";border brothers."
I am going to hold out judgment, with the hope that your reporters will continue in the quest to seek the real impact these people have on our society, our economy and our future.
As a law enforcement officer, statistically, more than 50 percent of all cases I investigate involve illegals as either suspects or victims. Unfortunately this is not distinguishable on reported statistics because we can't discriminate among those we help.
Most of these cases are child sex crimes and identity theft. Many convicted sex offenders are illegals that were not deported after conviction, or who have sneaked back across the border. And most of my rape and child sex cases are perpetrated by illegals.
Identity theft and financial crimes have become a nightmare to investigate. Real estate fraud is king with the housing market and interest rates what they are. Everyone involved stands to get rich, from the real estate agent/broker, notary, buyer and seller. It's far more lucrative than peddling methamphetamine. Why run the risk of arrest when you can waltz away with $100,000 in proceeds on a sale, all in someone else's name?
In the last six months, in every single high-dollar fraud case I investigated, the suspect was an illegal alien. And if that doesn't sting, you should see the Hummers, Navigators and Escalades these people are driving. And who ends up responsible for the loss? Surely not someone who doesn't have a peso to his name anyway.
You're kidding yourself if you think the illegal problem can be found at freeway off-ramps and Home Depots and on street corners selling fruits ... those are the few ";unfortunates" that didn't have a juice card. Even the coyotes getting them here are illegal! And at a going rate of three grand per ";pollo," they too live the life of Riley.
And don't think the big chunk of the income they make goes into supporting and feeding a family, here or in Mexico ... not unless you consider Budweiser and methamphetamine sustenance.
Do the American, tax-paying citizens a favor by investigating and reporting the truth. Let them know how many man-hours are invested in illegals by law enforcement, fire, medical facilities, schools, etc. Forget the losses getting moneygrammed into Michoaca and Oaxaca ... the big losses are right here.
So the next time a citizen has to wait six hours for a cop to take a burglary report on his house, he'll be understanding when he knows the officers are tied up finding and arresting Tio Juan, who just raped his 5-year-old niece.
- Maggie Finneran, a resident of Highland, is employed in law enforcement.
BUMP!!
The LAUSD doesn't even keep stats on the legal status of it's students. They have an idea how many are the children of illegals, but they won't say it in public.
-ping-
The author really "glosses" the surface of the problem.
It's considerably worse than described by several orders of magnitude.
Aside from the predictable "next time you have a problem,don't call a cop" cliche', there ought to be more about what kind of solution and remedy there might be for this nightmare.
We've been though a collossal list of "what ifs" that can't work...we have hispanic activist rabble rousers raising cane calling everyone "gringo" and other crybabies blaming it all on the President.
Stop Already.
Anybody want stop wetting their diapers long enough to suggest a way out of this mess?
Illegal alien flood level rising. Here in eastern MA, they pull up in their air conditioned four door SUV's (no Kia's, thank you), roll down the windows and ask directions to the next large city or town. They don't even get out of the car! It's always a male behind the wheel, chest puffed out with pride. Women, if any, sit like stooges in the back seat.
Freeper bayourod should be along shortly to accuse the author of lying about his precious, angelic illegal aliens.
Have you all noticed that this debate has really exploded in the last couple months. We are finally getting some truth in reporting. Look no further than DeLay's comments the other day. That is the strongest that I have heard any of our leaders, besides Tancredo, speak out on this matter. If DeLay gets his way, and we should all hope that he does, we will get a serious law enforcemnt bill this Fall, followed by a very limited and temporary geust-worker program later. Let's hope that DeLay's words reflect the opinion of the White House.
Rome again, Rome again, jiggedy-jig
I agree. DeLay has the right idea. Time to get behind him one more time.
Being judge and jury saves time. I like that.
It is his DUTY, along with Congress.
... for that matter, why should we?

In my opinion, one of the strongest messages we can send this year is to elect Jim Gilchrist, one of the founders of the Minutemen, to Congress in the special election to fill Chris Cox's vacant seat.
"$1500 for a leather bustier? I didn't care. It lifts and separates! I mean...it's not as if I'm paying for it. Heeee heee heee!"
I agree.
One example: the head of the Chicago Minutemen, (who is also a FReeper, by the way), is of Mexican descent.
And all of the meetings and rallies I've been to, the crowds are of all ethnic backgrounds. The common denominator? They're all patriots, and concerned about the physical and economic security of our country.
It's the Leftists trying to swarm the Minutemen down on the border who are the stone-cold racists. Examples of their blatant racism abound.
