Again, you right on the mark. Since I have been detailed to ICE, there doesn't seem to be any interest in going after illegal aliens. Legacy Customs is DHS, and from what I have seen so far, Customs doesn't want anyhting to with illegal aliens.

After being inundated with calls from L.A. listeners, Asa Hutchinson has agreed to go on the show. He's on right now, so be there or be square. Will try to type the good stuff while I listen.

I missed it too, and am now tuned in.
Lets cut to the chase Saber, he's LYING!
Good job, Joe. Keep it up.
Political correctness is going to kill this country.
Oregon State Police Trooper Bret Clodfelter was murdered by an illegal alien, but the crime has not been forgotten. Trooper Clodfelter of Klamath Falls had arrested three Mexican men for being drunk and disorderly, then offered them a ride and was murdered for his generosity.
Blame it on Boxer, blame it on California!
Did you listen to the interview? The audio link is at post #137. John confronted him with the claim directly, numerous times, and Hutchinson did NOT deny or dispute it.
Now since Mr. Hutchinson stated that he came on the show to clarify some matters, why would he wish to leave KFI listeners with a mistaken understanding on such an important one as this?
| Uh Joeseph, this thread is about a Los Angeles, CA, radio talk show. You know your beloved Golden State and I am posting my replies that some Californians posting on FR refuse to hold their elected democrat party Senators accountable to an issue that is very important to them. Also it seems that the LA radio talk show hosts are doing the same.

Mexican Us border is only 2000 miles...
Excerpted from the US Dept. of Heath and Human Services website
"Residents living along the U.S.-Mexico Border experience greater rates of communicable illnesses such as tuberculosis and vaccine preventable illnesses than other groups of people across the Nation. High rates of hepatitis and other intestinal infections, due to a lack of clean water and proper sewage disposal, are also a concern. Frequent movement between both countries and within the U.S. compromises continuity of health care for residents of this area. Additionally, the four States in the border area have some of the highest rates of poverty, unemployment, and uninsured people in the Nation.
Border Region
The U.S.-Mexico border region is 2,000 miles long, stretching from San Ysidro, California, to Brownsville, Texas, and extending 62 miles north of the border in to the U.S. This border is approximately half the length of the U.S.-Canada border, and represents the distance from Washington, DC, to Phoenix, Arizona, in direct miles.
The border area consists of 48 counties in four states. Some of the poorest counties in the United States are located in this border area. More than a third of U.S. border families live at or below the poverty line. An estimated 350,000 people live in colonias, which are un-zoned, semi-rural communities without access to public drinking water or wastewater systems. The unemployment rate along the border is 250-300 percent higher than in the rest of the country.
Border Health Issues
Sanitation:
The sanitation infrastructure deficiencies of the border area are enormous. Forty-six million liters of raw sewage flow daily into the Tijuana River. Another 76 million are dumped in to the New and Rio Grande Rivers. The management of water use is governed by treaties, but they do not deal with pollution management, such as sewage and pesticide runoff. Communities that use this water for cooking and drinking face serious health threats.
Air Pollution:
Air pollution is also a very serious problem in major metropolitan areas like El Paso/Cuidad Juarez, where meteorological conditions often fail to sweep the atmosphere of pollutants. Industry compliance with environmental regulations is spotty, and the poor often burn highly polluting materials for cooking and warmth. As a result, high lead levels in children and frequent respiratory illnesses are common.
These environmentally linked problems contribute to overall health conditions along the border that resemble those of many Third World countries. According to measures developed by the National Association of Community Health Centers, 10 of 24 counties evaluated along the U.S.-Mexico border are in "double jeopardy" because they are both medically underserved and poor. These counties face both a poor overall health status among their residents and a shortage of primary care physicians.
Access to Health Care:
Lack of access to health care is a significant problem along the border. While the access problem is in part due to a lack of insurance, especially among the Mexican-American population, it is also attributable to non-financial barriers to access. These include an uneven distribution of physicians, other health professionals, and hospitals; inadequate transportation; a shortage of bilinqual health information and health providers; and culturally insensitive systems of care. Standard health indicators bear out the consequences of this lack of access.
Communicable Diseases:
Hepatitis A is two to three times more prevalent along the border than in the United States as a whole. Tuberculosis, a growing threat in the U.S., appears along the border at twice the national average. In addition, non-communicable diseases such as diabetes are problems in the border area because they have a high incidence among Mexican-Americans, who make up over 50 percent of the population of the U.S. border counties. These diseases can be controlled through early intervention and the provision of consistent health care.
The public health problems of the U.S.-Mexico border region are longstanding and profound. Of critical importance to understanding their significance today, however, is the fact that border counties continue to experience rapid population growth. During the 1980s, this region experienced a 25 to 30 percent increase in population, compared to a less than 10 percent increase for the U.S. population. Accounting for this higher increase in population are a higher fertility rate, lower age-specific death rates, and a high rate of immigration. The population on the border is also younger than that of the respective border states and the nation as a whole.
The most immediate implication of this demographic pyramid is a higher birth rate and an increase in the existing need for maternal and child care services. But high dependency ratios and population growth rates also have serious implications for the poverty, environmental pollution, and disease that now plague residents struggling without adequate housing, sewage management, water, and health care in a region whose growing industrialization draws increasing numbers of the desperately poor.
The incidence of several types of communicable diseases is very high in border areas. The areas show high incidences of water borne diseases, such as shigellosis. The rates of hepatitis A infection, tuberculoss, and measles are also very high when compared to the general U.S. population. The incidence of AIDS is partcularly high in San Diego. In general, the ranking of leading causes of death is higher for accidents, diabetes, and infectious diseases in this region than in the rest of the country."
Sorry for the long post, but important to illuminate problems in border states
They had transposed 2 numbers, mine was 244-1400 and theirs was 224-1400 and I had to field hundreds of calls every week, thousands on weekends if they were playing in town.
I bet if you told everyone who called that they had won free tickets, and to come on down and get them, somehow, it would have been fixed.
Police Officer Sheila Herring was lost to a bullet from an illegal alien in an early morning altercation at a Norfolk bar on January 16.
Blame it on Boxer, blame it on California.
Here's your offering in response fifteen on this thread.
...in case you didn't notice, we have about 19,900 miles of borders and coastline to secure.
If you just closed the Mexican border off, that still leaves 17,800 miles of border and coastline wide-open.
Your logic seems to say the same thing as this. We should quit enforcing roberies because that would leave thousands of rapes still unsolved. We should quit trying to prosecute murder cases, because that would still leave thousands of assault cases. We should quit trying to prosecute car thefts, because that would still leave thousands of frauds. We should quit trying to prosecute family disturbance infractions, because that would still leave unresolved family court designated payment violations.
The fact is, our border with Mexico is the number one problem confronting this nation with regard to illegal border crossings. Further, those border crossings are not limited to Mexican citizens. Middle-eastern, Chinese, south-American, European and other groups have been identified coming across our southern border. And as such, we should enforce the worst of the worst when it come to our border problems.
At least one individual has been documented coming across our southern border, traveling to Chicago, and doing his best to become connected to other like minded individuals in order to carry out a terrorist act on U.S. soil.
BTW, I'm opting for the first choice listed above, concerning you.
Nor did he confirm it. But, in your mind, he's guilty until proven innocent, and Boxer/Feinstein are innocent until proven guilty, which somehow never seems to happen.
Now since Mr. Hutchinson stated that he came on the show to clarify some matters, why would he wish to leave KFI listeners with a mistaken understanding on such an important one as this?
Maybe he's a lousy communicator when confronted with a complete a$$hole like Cobylt.
Cobylt is lucky I'm not Hutchinson. I wouldn't appear on his show; I'd just raid KFI, watch 50% of the support staff try to out the back door, and then enquire as to why Mr. Cobylt never bothered calling in the INS on his employer.
The Marti family as pictured here during a happy moment no longer exists. Sean, just 24 years old, and his daughter Sage, 5 months old, were killed February 27 by a drunk illegal alien who was driving the wrong way on Highway 84 in Idaho. Natalie Marti was in a coma after the head-on crash and returned slowly to waking consciousness over a period of weeks.
Blame it on Boxer, Blame it on California
What is unprofessional were Asa's non-answers.
Hutchinson himself said the "problem" is that the sweeps weren't coordinated with Washington DC. Don't tell me he didn't stop them because he himself is saying just that there was a "problem" with the sweeps.
It really doesn't matter how much Boxer and Feinstein throw tantrums, there is no obligation for the fedgov to listen. Whether you want to admit it or not, you are asserting that if anyone whines loud enough and long enough, the fedgov is correct in giving in. What's next? What other elements of the constitution can we look forward to losing if enough people put pressure on the government?
I was wondering when you'd show up. ;-)
"I'm opting for the first choice listed above, concerning you."
Did it really take you this many years to figure it out!!!!!
The issue is that ASA HUTCHINSON stopped the California border patrol from doing its job. He did NOT have to cave from pressure. Are you telling me that federal government is correct in caving to pressure to abdicate constitutionally mandated responsibilities whenever someone whines? The fact is Hutchinson CHOSE to cave. He could have held strong and upheld the rule of law.
