Hazelton’s former mayor, now US Congressman Lou Barletta drew national attention and leftist outrage when he took a strong anti-illegal invasion stance—years before Trump and MAGA.

He is now running for the US Senate against Robert Casey, Jr., who the POTUS has described as “an absolute disaster”.

The Chicago Cubs Manager, Joe Madden is from Hazleton. Last year, the Anti-American Chicago Tribune ran a story that Hazleton was an example of how migration helps a city. PC correct Madden went on to praise the new Hispanic residents of Hazleton and how they were rebuilding the town despite the old residents prejudice against them. It was a total Barf piece.

I have a long connection with Hazleton and the area around there. My grandmother from Donegal grew up in Freeland, the next town over. Her mother was Tom Kennedy’s sister. I worked in Hazleton for a while as this was going on. The local Catholic churches were instrumental in beginning the flow of Hispanics to Hazleton. Now they’re out of business.

The lesson for me is that some “cultures” assimilate more easily than others. The language is part of it, but then the Italians and Polish minorities assimilated. I think there is a tipping point beyond which assimilation and cultural absorption doesn’t go too well. 50% is over the line.

The FBI is on the tail of NY state Sen. Adriano Espaillat (Dem-Manhattan), who is from the Dominican Republic, and his penchant for sucking up tax dollars for so-called “needy latino community groups.” Espaillat sucked up 100 “member items” as an assemblyman, including $500,000 public monies for his nonprofit, the grandiously named, “Northern Manhattan Coalition for Economic Development.” (NOTE: “Member items” is a nauseating extortion scam for greedy NY state legislative members).

DOMINICAN ESPILLAT KNOWN AS SENATOR PORK-—FBI agents want to know about Democrat Espillat’s use of public monies for “needy groups” that employed a covey of Dominican Republic natives including Espaillat’s sister-in-law, a Democratic district leader and several campaign consultants.

FBI scrutiny comes as Espaillat’s former chief of staff (elected to the Assembly-—now resigned in disgrace) admits he got wired for the FBI. Nelson Castro, a Dominican Republic native, got wired to save himself-—he lied to the FBI WRT a parade of Dominican Republic illegals corrupting the US election system-—unlawfully registered to vote using Castro’s address. Espillat zipped his lips when asked whether vote-buying Castro assisted in FBI probes of Espaillat.

BTW, Espaillat’s economic development scam closed down in 2011 (member items became extinct-—the needy Dominican Republican commuity has to do without (/snix) ). But Espillat appointed the n/p’s executive director-—Dominican Republic native Nurys de Oleo-—to a $50,000-a-year job as Sen Espaillat’s “special assistant.”

(Sure would like to see de Oleo’s job description up against his actual duties.)

NY TIMES-—June 22, 1992
‘Three generations of Adriano Espaillat’s family have lived in the 34th Police Precinct in Washington Heights, a neighborhood where relatives’ businesses have flourished and some still greet the family members by name when they walk down the street.

Mr. Espaillat, who has lived in Washington Heights for 29 years, directs the Victims Services Agency there. He and his parents moved there from the Dominican Republic when he was 10 years old. His grandparents were already living in Washington Heights when he was born.

Sounds like they’re bringing the hellhole with them... culture’s do that when they’re not assimilated.

Report: 2.5 million illegal immigrants under Obama, 400,000 entering yearly
Washington Examiner ^ | 07/20/2015 | Paul Bedard / FR Posted by SeekAndFind

Some 2.5 million illegal immigrants have flowed into the United States under President Obama, with 790,000 rushing in since 2013, according to a new analysis. Calculations from the Center for Migration Studies and the Pew Research Center indicate 1.5 to 1.7 million aliens joined the illegal population from 2009 to 2013 — either overstaying a temporary visa or sneaking into the country, according to a Center for Immigration Studies report out Monday morning.

The immigration watchdog's analysis of Census Bureau data also showed that an additional 790,000 illegals entered from the middle of 2013 to May of 2015, for a total of 2.5 million new illegal immigrants since Obama took office in January of 2009. That is a rate of 300,000 to 400,000 a year. The issue has become explosive under Obama, especially in the last year when tens of thousands of children and young adults joined the regular flow of illegals from Latin America. It has also embroiled the GOP presidential contest, with Donald Trump blasting Mexico and party leaders worrying about image of Republicans. But the CIS report written by Steven A. Camarota, director of research, found that illegal immigration was higher under former President George W.

Bush, potentially undermining the GOP's bid to sound tough on the issue. Under Bush, 500,000-600,000 illegals surged in a year.(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...

=====================================

The Latino Bund is hard at work----plotting to overthrow the US govt. These are barbarians and interlopers w/ orders to loot and pillage our nation's wealth. Capital Hill is awash in this Third World filth.

===================================================

The sentimental narrative on immigration has become a nightmare....the bygone fairy tale that we thrive b/c we are "a nation of immigrants". These liars and criminals are not the "yearning immigrants of yesteryear." These are Third World armies of barbarian invaders---lusting after the riches and wealth of our country----plotting the overthrow of the US govt...AKA The Latino Bund.

The Steinle killing reaffirms that they are here to harm Americans---they despise us.

They act as "pressure groups" --- tight-knit ethnic voting blocs ---- to pressure Congress to start the billionaire gravy train rolling to their salivating Third World handlers. Third World federales are lying-in-wait---salivating for zillions in "humanitarian foreign aid" and anything else they can get their greedy hands on.

=================================================

TIME FOR OBAMA TO REGISTER AS A FOREIGN AGENT--
In the Obama WH--plotting the overthrow of the US government?

President Otto Perez Molina of Guatemala, second left,
and President Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras, right.

===========================================

REALITY CHECK---"HUMANITARIAN US FOREIGN AID"
US tax dollars laundered in US banks by Guatemalan;
scumbag elected to "redistribute" dirt-poor nation's wealth.

Alfonso Portillo---ex-president of Central America's Guatemala--- faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kid.

Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.

The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...

<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...

<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13)

Pres Trump should checkout latino and other alien "non-profits" in the US....the easy no-sweat way they get zillions of state and federal monies. fr

L/E should rigorously investigate the latino criminal underworld---corrupt parasites undermining the US political system----proof-positive here that govt documents were falsified to hide the corrupt use of tax dollars. L/E might find the latino underworld doled out tax funds to finance drug habits, sex romps and other outrageous conduct.

<><>The NY-based Hispanic Federation honchos Roberto Ramirez and Luis Miranda cashed out big time.
The federation has ties to latino crime family nonprofits---which are corrupt political machines.

<><>Need I mention La Raza, swimming in US tax dollars to push their leftist agenda.

CIRCA 2012---Twi$ted web of political nonprofits in Bronx, NY / By CANDICE M. GIOVE; w/ Isabel Vincent and Melissa Klein

EXCLUSIVE The dating life of Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera (ousted from office by voters) has shed light on a web of Latino nonprofits in The Bronx — groups that benefit a close-knit network of political insiders as much as the community.

Rivera installed a boyfriend, Vincent Pinela, as head of the Bronx Council for Economic Development, a taxpayer-funded nonprofit he admits being unqualified to run. He alleges she used the group to fund their dates and her campaign.

But the Bronx economic council is only one nonprofit of many organized under the Hispanic Federation, which has taken in $24 million in taxpayer money since 1998. The federation has ties to almost every Hispanic lawmaker in The Bronx, including Rivera, but primarily benefits two men: political strategist Luis Miranda, who co-founded it and once served as its president, and Roberto Ramirez, a former Bronx Democratic Party boss. The men run a private political consulting firm, the MirRam Group. It’s paid by the Hispanic Federation and is hired by politicians who steer taxpayer money to the nonprofit.

A NY Post investigation has found:

<><><>* The Hispanic Federation paid MirRam and Miranda Towns, a firm registered to Miranda and his wife, $681,644 between 1999 and 2008 for “consulting,” records show.

<><><>* In 2005, the federation paid MirRam $88,000 to survey Latinos on topics including the mayor’s race. At the same time, MirRam was paid $1.37 million by Fernando Ferrer, then a mayoral candidate.

<><><>* Ramirez and Miranda gave political allies jobs at the nonprofit. Ex-Secretary of State Lorraine Cortez Vazquez, who had been Ramirez’s chief of staff, made more than $180,000 a year there.

<><><>* The Hispanic Federation paid MirRam $33,000 this year to lobby the City Council, records show.

<><><>* The group often pays out small amounts, from $400 to $800, to individuals without detailing why on official documents as required by law. A source in the group said these are sometimes payments for favor. "I have to pay a lady who is bringing latino seniors to a political event,” the source said. “They promised to send the lady to the Dominican Republic with her family in exchange for rounding up votes.” An Hispanic Federation spokesman lied---and said the payments were for families of victims of American Airlines Flight 587, which crashed in Queens in 2001, or "other people in need."

Miranda launched the Hispanic Federation in 1990, the year Ramirez won an Assembly seat in Fordham. Ramirez left politics in 2000 and handed the party reins to Assemblyman José Rivera, father of sexpot Naomi, in 2002. Insiders say that if you want influence in The Bronx, you have to deal with the Hispanic Federation and, by extension, MirRam consultants. Nonprofits, for instance, pay the Hispanic Federation to do their bookkeeping.

Rivera's Bronx Economic Development council was charged $12,000 a year for Hispanic Federation services according toher boytoy Pinela. Every year, the federation throws a fund-raising gala packed with politicians---a bash at the Waldorf-Astoria last Apri1 brought out mayoral hopefuls City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Bill Thompson and New York Giant Victor Cruz.

But the blurring of a nonprofit and a consultant group means there’s little or no accountability, said the source inside the Hispanic Federation. “If we were helping the Little League around the corner to get bats or gloves . . . the ends justify the means,” the source said. “But when you are giving extra money to a senior center because they delivered people to a [political] event, it’s a different story.”

A federation spokesman called the allegations “simply untrue,” saying it only provides funds for those in need of disaster relief. As for payments to MirRam, the group noted that Miranda was no longer its president and MirRam is “arguably the top Latino lobbying and strategic consulting firm in our city.”
