'KILLER'S' UNDERWORLD'
ACTRESS SLAY' ILLEGAL LIVED IN BASEMENT DEN
By HEATHER GILMORE and DOUGLAS MONTERO
November 12, 2006 -- Diego Pillco, the teen accused of killing indie-film actress Adrienne Shelly for fear he would be deported, lived in hiding with his illegal-immigrant relatives in a basement boiler-room hovel owned by their construction boss.
Access to the dungeonlike lair the 19-year-old shared with his brother Wilson and cousin in Greenwood Heights, Brooklyn, is hidden behind the main stairs of a three-story brick apartment building. A small door leads to narrow plywood steps and the windowless underground home.
Placed around the dingy space last week were a pair of dusty construction boots, a collection of religious icons, bottles of Crown Royal whiskey, pirated soft-core porn, Spanish horror DVDs - and receipts for money wired back home to Ecuador.
A living room is set up in the boiler room, and there are two makeshift bedrooms, a kitchen area and a bathroom.
The three worked for their landlord, Luis Hernandez, owner of the BCG construction company, who charged them about $100 each per month for their three dim rooms. He docked their pay for the rent money, neighbor Frank Diaz said.
Pillco was arrested Monday and charged with second-degree murder.
He was working for Hernandez on Nov. 1, renovating a West Village apartment, when Shelly, who also wrote and directed and had an office in the building, complained about the noise.
She threatened to call the cops, and Pillco, fearing his illegal status would be discovered, followed her to her upstairs apartment and knocked her to the ground, police said.
Thinking the blow had killed her, Pillco hanged Shelly by a bedsheet from the shower rod to conceal the murder as a suicide, police said.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
When this story first broke the NY Post was the only NY paper to note the killers illegal status. The Times and Newsday referred to him as an "immigrant worker".
Killer claims he killed b/c he feared deportation. Deportation from a dirt job and a mattress in a cellar?
That makes no sense.
More likely, the leech was probably sucking up numerous US govt benefits. Authorities ought to check on how many SS no's, visas and identities he has, and the number of UI, Workman's Comp, and welfare programs he was enrolled in.
The calculated, cold-blooded manner in which the scum took this innocent woman's life demonstrates a visceral brutality that is indicative of someone who has killed before.
All reports indicate these aliens have a distorted sense of self-preservation that allows nothing to stand in the way of their own survival.....and access to US govt benefits.
The practiced way this scumbag went after an innocent woman, took her life with a macabre brutality, string her up to make it look like a suicide, makes you wonder how many times he's done this before.
These are not acts ordinary people would know how to commit. It is chilling to think illegals are crawling around the US looking for victims. Ever notice the smirk on their faces when they are caught crossing the border? Chilling.
We've got to stop this country from being turned into a Turd World cesspool. Send illegals back where they came from. We should have a zero tolerance policy towards illegal aliens.
I've thought that too. My shower rod won't hold 100+ Lbs.
It was on FNC, both in some news segments, i.e. the little bites between shows, and also on some comment shows, like Hannity and Colmes, O'Reilly etc.
Source for Pelosi employing illegals?
I heard it on the radio. Either Rush said it last week or the talk host who comes on right after him on WBT. He is new and I can't think of his name. I actually think it was Rush though.
He also said that Pelosi is one of the wealthiest members of congress. She and her husband own vineyards, farms and restaurants.
Did anybody else hear it?
I did some reading last week, and did see some stories about non-union employees. I "think" I remember something about illegals, but haven't found it in print. I'd like to have it around to print when one of my lib relatives starts to spout off about the new speaker....
FReeper eakole posted the definitive statement on this topic: "These scofflaws and criminals do not only want American jobs, they also want all the rights of American Citizens with the intent to inflict upon us the failed customs, politics, and ignorance that frame the foundation of Mexico’s class-conscious tyranny, universal lawlessness and eternal poverty."
I would add that Mexico and the Third World are nothing more than satraps ruled by despotic governments-of-the-wealthy that toss citizens they consider useless over the US border, to become wards of American taxpayers, and the US welfare system.
Now they demand veto power over US immigration policy. And some in Congress are prepared to ignore the US Constitution and have signed on to the Third World agenda.
Americans are defending our citizenship from those who would devalue it, who are dragging our country down into anarchy.
"I heard that illegals take 10 lives a day here in the US."
According to the sources below we lose more Americans EVERY YEAR by the hands of illegal aliens than we lost on 9/11.
Lots of crimes here:

May 1st Protest - "Bite the hand that feeds you" Day
What would that May 1st look like without illegal immigration? There would be no one to smuggle across our southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines that plague the United States, reducing the U.S. supply of meth that day by 80%. The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day. Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals. Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases to hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals. Eight American children would not suffer the horror as a victim of a sex crime.
On the negative side, the price of a pound of tomatoes might go up from $0.79 to $0.80. That is unless you have a garden. But I'm guessing that the Mexican drug lords are not taking May 1st off. Neither will the 11,000 illegal invaders that pour over our border every other day of the year. It is a safe bet that the U.S. Border Patrol will have a very busy "Nothing Gringo Day."
Since September 11th, it remains true that OBL is the greatest threat to America. I will leave it to the reader to decide if the greatest threat is Osama bin Laden or the Open Borders Lobby. The emerging cheap labor "ruling class" in America is the strongest supporter of amnesty for illegals. Their anti-American "new servant class" has chosen to boycott them; the very definition of irony. On May 1st, Primero de Mayo, Americans will observe, as illegal immigrants celebrate, "Bite the Hand That Feeds You Day."

While the murder rate among illegal aliens in America is unknown, we do have fair estimates of how many illegal migrants are here, and what countries they came from. The murder rates in most of these countries are known and published by the United Nations (which means the figures must be correct). If one then simply assumes that each nationality of alien commits murder at the same rate in America as it would in its homeland, it is then possible to arrive at an estimate of the probable rate of murder by illegal aliens in America.
Put more plainly, I assumed that 3,871,912 Mexicans in America kill at the same rate as 3,871,912 Mexicans in Mexico, then did the same for 336,717 Salvadorans, 77,000 Brazilians, 226,886 Chinese and 39 other categories of illegal alien—as totaled in a Census Bureau estimate of the illegal alien population in 2000. The report’s total figure was that 8.7 million illegal aliens are in our country. It should be noted that this estimate would be considered low by many sources. But I tried to be as conservative as possible with all figures. My estimate is therefore low, I believe.
Using the above method, I estimated that illegal aliens kill 1,480 people in America every year. This assumes that the 8.7 million illegal aliens in America have a population age structure and a sex ratio similar to that of their homelands. Most murders are committed by young males. If the illegal population in America is skewed toward young males, as most believe, the murder total is actually much higher. Comparing the age structure of the population of illegal aliens that applied for amnesty during the Reagan administration (according a GAO report) to the current age structure of the population of Mexico (according to the US Census Bureau), I found that people aged 22 to 45 years old were overrepresented in the amnesty pool. Adjusting the murder rate using FBI homicide perpetrator age-cohort information for the United States (see why you need to pay attention in math class, kids?), the total is more likely to be 1,806 murders per year.
Given that 16,528 murders were committed in the entire United States in 2004, this estimate—if correct—would mean that illegal aliens (3% of the population in the Census Bureau Estimate used in this analysis) commit between 11% and 15% of all the murders in the United States each year. The murder rate for the illegal alien population in this model, 20 to 29 homicides per year per 100,000 persons, would thus be 400% to 500% the rate of the combined native-born and legal immigrant populations.
_______________
From Mike Cutler, former INS agent who testifies before congress on immigration
"It is currently estimated that some 30% of the federal inmate population is comprised of convicts who are identified as being "foreign born." When I was assigned to the Unified Intelligence Division of DEA in New York from 1988 to 1992 I compiled statistics concerning the nature of the defendants who were arrested by DEA and the DEA Task Force in New York. It was estimated that some 60% of the defendants arrested in New York City were identified as being "foreign born" while 30% of the defendants arrested nationwide were identified as being "foreign born." Those numbers remained constant for several years afterwards and I believe they would not be much different today.
Additionally, I have heard that some 90% of the arrest warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for aliens. I believe that it would not be hard to show that more than 3,000 murders per year can be attributed to illegal aliens in our country."
And the Border Patrol
http://www.usborderpatrol.com/borderframe87.htm
TODAY, we have nearly 11,000 criminals invading our country each and every night and the murder rate from them is over 18 dead each day and nothing is done.
And again, these millions of people flooding our southern border -- 11,000 a night -- are now being supported, and even funded, by al Qaeda and the Mexican drug cartels.
Crime is rampant throughout all of the countries south of our border. The murder rate for Mexico -- in Mexico -- is about 18 dead per 100,000. Yes, that is 18,000 people murdered every year inside Mexico -- a country with a 100 million population. The murder rate for the USA is about 4 per 100,000 -- a country with about 300 million people. So, yes, Mexico kills as more people than we do but they have one third the population so that really does mean that their citizens kill at a rate that is more than three times that of the people in the United States. Certainly, not everyone in Mexico is a murderer. But there is one truth to murder everywhere on earth:
Almost all murderers anywhere on earth are males between the ages of 15 and 34.
And this is where things get very interesting. About 98 of every 100 illegals crossing our border are Mexican males between the ages of 15 and 34.

Rough Ride - Protect Our Border's - Fight Illegal Immigration {{{Ongoing Thread}}}
and
www.immigrationshumancost.org
No you haven't. All you do is pontificate, posture, blab and a lot and you don't do ANYTHING substantial about it. Then, when I make a suggestion like electing a true leader to actually DO something, then the flame wars start. I would DO something about it. Why not start promoting a candidate who intends to DO something about illegal immigration? Why not get someone like Tancredo in the spotlight? I am fluently bilingual and could garner support among regular U.S. citizens AND Hispanic voters who don't want illegals here either. I'd be glad to run. Not one inch of support. Blah, blah, blah...
This is the man I'm supporting.
Rep.Duncan Hunter Exploring Presidential Run
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1728217/posts
http://www.house.gov/hunter/border1.html
Congressman Duncan Hunter's Efforts to Secure the U.S. Border
December 15, 2005: Congressman Hunter successfully adds an amendment to H.R. 4437, the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Alien Control Act of 2005, mandating that 698 miles of border fencing be erected in five strategic locations along our nation's Southern border with Mexico. The Hunter Amendment passed the House by a vote of 260-159.
October 6, 2005: House passes H.R. 2360, the FY 2006 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which appropriates $35 million for completion of the San Diego Border Fence.
September, 14, 2005: Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff announces that he will exercise the authority granted to him under the REAL ID Act and require the completion of the San Diego Border Fence.
February 7, 2005: House passes H.R. 418, which grants Secretary of Homeland Security the ability to waive all laws necessary for the construction of the border fence. The Farr Amendment to strip the language was rejected by a vote of 179 to 243.
October 28, 2004: House passes the Ose-Hunter Amendment to H.R. 10, the 9-11 Recommendations Implementation Act. The Amendment grants Secretary of Homeland Security broad waiver authority to expedite construction of the San Diego border fence. The vote passes the House by 256 to 160.
February 2004 to October 2004: Customs and Border Protection staff conduct over 14 meetings/conferences with the California Coastal Commission to find a mutually agreeable solution. No solution found.
February 2, 2004: California Coastal Commission denies U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection's application for a consistency determination (CD-63-03) pertaining to the 3.5 miles of secondary and tertiary fencing from the Pacific Ocean to the International Wastewater Treatment Plant.
July 1, 2003: Fish and Wildlife Service issues their biological opinion for the construction of the final 3.5 miles of the border fence from the Pacific Ocean to Goat Canyon.
July 25, 2002: Congressman Hunter successfully offeres an amendment to H.R. 5005, the Homeland Security Act, stipulating that it was the sense of Congress that the San Diego border fence project is a priority of the new department.
May 23, 2002: The U.S. Immigration & Naturalization Service announces that the following assets would be deployed in the El Centro Border Sector and along the Southwest border:
* two specially equipped hovercraft for the All-America Canal;
* deployment of newly formed horse patrol unit for operation in rough territory;
* 10 additional Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue agents, bringing total to 30 agents deployed in sector;
* five additional helicopters and eight new pilots across the Southwest, bringing total to 23;
* expanding the testing of an air-powered pepper ball launcher system in both El Centro and Yuma (first tested in San Diego Sector and used to respond to violent situations avoiding deadly force);
* In Yuma Sector, six "rescue beacon" have been installed which sends a electronic distress signal to the Sector's communications center when button is pushed.
November 26, 2001: Congressman Hunter writes a letter to James Ziglar, Commissioner of the Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS), to stress the importance of completion of the border fence in San Diego and that the INS investigate the construction of a similar fence along the All-American Canal.
July 19, 2001: Congressman Hunter votes in favor of legislation that provides $66 million for the hiring of 570 additional Border Patrol agents nationwide. This increase fulfills a requirement Congressman Hunter included in the 1996 Immigration Bill which authorized the hiring of 1,000 new agents annually over a period of five years. The legislation also provides $6 million for the U.S. Border Patrol Station in El Centro and $3 million for the continued construction of a multi-barrier fencing project in San Diego County.
October 11, 2000: Congressman Hunter includes $5 million in H.R. 4205, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001, for the Southwest Border Fence Project, which constructs fences and road-building projects to impede continued drug-smuggling along the U.S. border region.
June 27, 2000: Congressman Hunter votes in favor of H.R. 4690, the FY 2001 Commerce, Justice, State, Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, which provides funding for 430 additional Border Patrol agents nationwide. The legislation also provides funding for several INS construction projects in San Diego and Imperial Counties:
* $3.3 million for the continued construction of a multi-barrier fencing project in San Diego County;
* $3.3 million for the San Diego Border Patrol Station;
* $307,000 for the El Cajon Border Patrol Station;
* $4 million for the El Centro Border Patrol Station;
* $300,000 for the El Centro Detention and Deportation Project.
October 13, 1999: Congressman Hunter includes $4 million in H.R. 2561, the FY 2000 Defense Appropriations Act, for the Southwest Border Fence Project.
May 12, 1999: The Clinton-Gore Administration revealed that, despite a congressional mandate and the funding to hire 1,000 additional Border Patrol agents for fiscal year 1999, only 200 will actually be hired. Congressman Hunter is joined by Reps. Silvestre Reyes (D-TX), Henry Bonilla (R-TX) and Lamar Smith (R-TX) as well as Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) and Phil Gramm (R-TX) at a news conference to announce they will send a letter to the President. Click here to read the press release. Of the 1,000 agents that were supposed to be deployed, 78 were to be stationed at the El Centro Sector of Imperial County --- now the sector may not receive any. The administration does not plan to deploy new agents in San Diego County.
The letter, signed by more than 50 Democrat and Republican Members of Congress, expressed "deep disappointment at the continuing lack of compliance with the congressional mandate to increase the Border Patrol by 1,000 agents per year. Meanwhile, cross-border drug smuggling and alien smuggling continue to cost uncounted lives and damages each year, and terrorists may enter the United States at any time. Additional Border Patrol agents are needed to achieve control in California and Texas, to stop the emerging crisis in Arizona and New Mexico, to combat smuggling along the Florida and Gulf coasts, and to shore up the severely undermanned northern border from New England and New York through the Midwest to Washington state. All this territory is presently covered by only 8,000 Border Patrol agents, a force less than half the size of the Chicago Police Department.
"Experts within your own administration, such as drug czar Barry McCaffrey, and in
academia estimate that at least 20,000 Border Patrol agents are needed to control drug smuggling, alien smuggling, and terrorism. Yet there is no indication that your border strategy recognizes the emergency situation caused by low Border Patrol recruitment and high attrition or is animated by any sense of urgency. The past three months have seen significant deterioration, not improvement, in border security."
February 17, 1999: Despite record apprehension levels and many months of Congressman Hunter calling for hundreds of new Border Patrol agents for Imperial County, the INS announces it will only send 78 agents to the area. There are now approximately 400 Border Patrol agents in Imperial County. As Congressman Hunter has stressed to the INS, the County is second in total apprehensions of illegal immigrants but second to last in border enforcement resources.
February 1, 1999: President Clinton’s $1.77 trillion budget released today proposes hiring no new Border Patrol agents next year. Despite a funding level of $4.2 billion in Fiscal Year 2000 for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) alone, the President’s budget ignores a Congressional mandate for 1,000 new agents next year. Legislation authored by Congressman Hunter in 1996 funded 1,000 new Border Patrol agents per year through the year 2001. “We need to be doing all we can to stop drug smuggling and illegal immigration,” said Hunter. “Now is not the time to disarm.”
November 24, 1998: At a news conference in Holtville, Congressman Hunter called on the National Guard and the Immigration and INS to direct additional manpower, infrastructure and equipment to the border region of Imperial County.
The Congressman stated his belief that the best way to relieve the pressure on services provided to illegals over the long term is to stop illegal immigrants from crossing the border in the first place. In a letter to the INS sent the day before, Hunter stated: "It is my sincere belief that a reactive approach to this urgent situation cannot continue and we must address this evolving crisis with the understanding that Imperial County must receive priority by the Immigration and Naturalization Service."
Congressman Hunter has successfully worked to gain additional funding for INS, Border Patrol and National Guard efforts to control the border. Most recently, the Fiscal Year 1999 omnibus spending bill, H.R. 4328, which passed on October 20, 1998, included an additional $10 million specifically allocated for the INS to procure sensors, motion detectors, remote video surveillance cameras and infrared optics. Hunter's letter stressed that the El Centro Border Patrol Sector must be given preference in deploying this equipment.
Hunter is also seeking funding for new border fencing in Imperial County. H.R. 4328 contained $20 million for the National Guard's efforts to control the border against drug smuggling and other activities. The funding would go towards upgrade and repair of current fencing as well as construction of a second layer of new fencing in some areas. Hunter concluded his request to the INS by calling for a meeting in Imperial County to address these issues and set up a specific timetable to enact solutions.
October 30, 1998: In a letter to INS Commissioner Meissner, Congressman Hunter calls for the immediate deployment of additional border enforcement resources to Imperial County. Recent statistics detail that as the number of illegal immigrant apprehensions have dropped by 50% over the past few years in San Diego County (248,604 in 1998), apprehensions in Imperial County are up by 568% (226,695 in 1998). Yet, there are approximately 2,200 Border Patrol agents currently in San Diego County and only about 330 in Imperial County. Hunter's letter cites the necessity to get to a total force of 20,000 Border Patrol agents---a proposal supported by the Administration's drug czar Barry McCaffrey, to deploy several hundred more Border Patrol agents to Imperial County, as well as the need to alleviate the burden on the County's resources, which have been stretched as a result of services provided to injured and deceased illegal aliens. As detailed in the letter, several thousand more Border Patrol agents would be available today if not for the Administration's opposition to Congressman Hunter's efforts. Click here to read Congressman Hunter's letter to INS Commissioner Meissner.
September 28, 1998: Funding for Fiscal Year 1999 national defense programs gained final House approval. A measure in the bill will add $3 million for the National Guard's continued construction of the border fence and roads in eastern San Diego County.
August 5, 1998: The House approved fiscal year 1999 funding for the INS and the Border Patrol. The Commerce, Justice and State Departments Appropriations Act reorganizes the funding of the INS by separating naturalization and processing activities from border enforcement, increases the number of Border Patrol agents and funds construction of new facilities.
Provisions which Congressman Hunter included in the bill are---
* Funding for 1,000 new Border Patrol agents. This is in line with Rep. Hunter's 1996 legislation which authorized 5,000 new Border Patrol agents over five years. The new agents are to be deployed along the Southwest border in the areas of the highest illegal traffic. 140 new Border Patrol support personnel are also funded.
* As a result of the impact of ongoing illegal immigration in the Cleveland National Forest, the legislation directs the Department of Justice to work more closely with the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management in the forest and other federal land areas near the Mexican border to protect natural and human resources and provide increased border protection.
* The bill recommends that the ambulance service pilot project, established last year in Nogales, Arizona, be expanded to Imperial County. Presently, ambulance services are not reimbursable when the victim is an illegal alien.
* Funding for construction and renovation projects: El Centro Border Patrol Station: $5,603,000 and the El Centro Border Patrol Sector Headquarters: $2,842,000. Planning, site acquisition and design of a new Border Patrol Station in Campo: $424,000. Construction of a new detention facility in El Centro: $4,193,000. Planning, site acquisition and design of a new Border Patrol Service Processing Center in El Centro: $500,000.
May 13, 1998: Hunter introduces H.R. 3858, the Border Protection and Infrastructure Act, which is one of 12 bills to be offered by the Speaker's Task Force for a Drug Free America. Stopping the supply of drugs entering into the U.S. is an integral part of the Task Force's battle plan to win the War on Drugs by 2002. Specifically, Hunter's bill authorizes construction of multiple fences along our Southwestern border, increases the level of our Border Patrol forces (to 20,000 agents by the year 2003 -- currently there are some 7,600 Border Patrol agents) and mandates minimum sentences and fines for violent/evasive behavior at Ports of Entry.
January 5, 1998: Rep. Hunter calls on Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs Deborah Lee to release funding for border x-ray machines. At Hunter's direction $7 million was included in the Fiscal Year 1998 Defense bill to fund x-ray detection equipment for the southwest border. These are the same machines of which General Barry McCaffrey recently stated, "They work---they absolutely work." The X-ray machines can detect drugs as well as other contraband, such as terrorist devices. Although the President signed the defense authorization and appropriations bills into law, the Administration has yet to release funding for the equipment and has opposed the procurement of the x-ray machines claiming that the equipment does not fit into the National Guard's readiness requirements.
Left: Congressman Hunter meets with Gen. Barry McCaffrey.
Right: Hunter inspects truck x-ray detection equipment.
November 19, 1997: The first 'climb-proof' panels of the triple fence are mounted onto pre-set poles. The National Guard fence construction crew has 3,000 additional feet of posts set and ready for panels. The fence is ten feet tall and made of galvanized expanded metal. Welded on top of the fence is an additional six foot "kick-back" of expanded metal panels mounted on a forty-five degree angle facing south.
November 14, 1997: Rep. Hunter announces that the House of Representatives approved FY1998 funding for the INS and Border Patrol. The Commerce, Justice and State Departments FY98 Appropriations Act contains the final allotment of funding ($3.4 million) to complete construction of the triple fence along the San Diego border.
The bill also contains funding for 1,000 new Border Patrol agents. The administration had requested only 500 additional agents for 1998. There are currently 2,450 Border Patrol agents assigned to San Diego County. There are 250 agents assigned to Imperial County (about 80 are temporarily assigned). Appropriations for fence and new agents are in line with legislation authored by Rep. Hunter in recent years.
September 12, 1997: Ribbon is cut at Otay Mountain Road project. The four million dollar construction project was funded by Rep. Hunter to provide Border Patrol access to the rugged wilderness mountain area immediately east of San Diego. Prior to the road enhancement, patrol agents spent as much as four hours of their eight hour shift just getting to their respective patrol areas. Road construction was accomplished by National Guard units from throughout the U.S. and by active duty and reserve contingents of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines from as far away as Guam. Repair bills for patrol vehicles out of the Brown Field Border Patrol Station have been reduced by more that one-half with the road. The road also enhances fire suppression in the wilderness by providing Calif. Division of Forestry fire apparatus access to the region, and the heli-spots that were incorporated into the roads were utilized to save the life of a downed patrol agent the week before the ribbon cutting.
August 4, 1997: U.S. Navy Sea Bee units from the southeastern U.S. and local Coronado personnel begin erecting light poles at the Otay port of entry and begin working their way west to tie in with units that are 'lighting up the border' from the San Ysidro port of entry and working their way east bound. Sea Bee units are augmented by National Guard units and are coordinated by JTF-6.
July 29, 1997: The INS announces the belated assignment of the remaining 286 Border Patrol agents for Fiscal Year 1997. Of this number, 77 are to be deployed in the San Diego sector and only 14 for the El Centro Sector.
continues...
June 5, 1996: Reports from the California Division of Forestry show that wildfires in eastern San Diego County have almost tripled over previous years. It is widely understood that many of these fires were started by illegal aliens.
Thanks for the material.
Sometimes I wish Miz Emma Lazarus had stuck to her piano or whatever other skill she might have had. Or had stuck her head in a washpail and forgotten the "poetry" bit.
"Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" doesn't specify whether these "wretched refuse of your teeming shore" were legal or illegal. But I have the strong feeling that Miz Lazarus, who came from a wealthy fambly, didn't care how many legal or illegal poor and tired wretched refuse would invade this country to earn or be given the Yankee dollah.
Plus, Duncan Hunter is a real movie President's name...
;-)
I will listen carefully this week. If I hear him or anybody say it again I'll ping you.
The more I think about it, what's the liklihood that farm workers and vineyard workers in CA are legal? Good chance the Pelosis hire 'non-documented' workers.
When it comes to the illegal-immigration issue, I'm sure Shelly was the same as most others in her industry: They championed illegal immigration. If true, the irony of her death at the hands of an illegal immigrant would be quite impressive.
This just goes to show that any illegal alien in the world has an incentive to kill any of us if we do anything to hasten their well-deserved deportation. This war. They must not be allowed to hold us hostage like this anymore. This is one more reason why illegal immigration is a plague on all of us.
