"Jobs Americans won't do"
By: RICK REISS - Commentary
Temecula has become an epicenter in the debate on illegal immigration. Last year, the Temecula Border Patrol station conducted numerous sweeps of illegal immigrants throughout the region. Political pressure quickly ended this operation. To his chagrin, a top Homeland Security official later faced an outraged public for shutting down these sweeps.
Public outrage over the federal government's failure to control immigration spawned the creation of voluntary citizen patrols along the border. One such Minuteman Project effort just recently finished in Campo. A similar border watch project is scheduled for the Otay Mesa area in the coming weeks.
Knee-jerk liberals routinely label Minuteman volunteers as racists or Nazis. Such childish political tactics only serve one purpose ---- to shut down debate.
Why is it racist or fascist to expect that our nation's sovereignty as defined by the Constitution be upheld? It's obvious that open-border advocates care little about America's sovereignty or the Constitution.
Apologists frequently throw out the red herring that illegal immigrants only come here to wash dishes, landscape or perform other menial jobs "unfit" for Americans.
Mexico President Vicente Fox recently stated that illegal immigrants of Mexican descent only take American jobs "that not even blacks want to do." Even President Bush upped the ante by stating that illegal immigrants "are coming here to do jobs that Americans won't do."
Maybe we should take a look at the kind of "work" that some of these illegal immigrants are performing for us.
- Adrian Camacho will soon stand trial for the murder of Oceanside police officer Tony Zeppetella. Deported several times to Mexico, Camacho's only known occupation was a gang member. In a jailhouse letter received by law enforcement, Camacho wrote that "the only good cop is a dead cop."
- Hong Chen, a "laborer" and illegal immigrant from China is wanted by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation. Convicted of sexual assault on a child, Chen was last seen in Los Angeles.
- Andres Camacho-Avalos is another criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico who is wanted by ICE for deportation. Camacho-Avalos was convicted of two counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 14.
- Wanted by the FBI, Arnoldo Dejesus Garcia has a work history as a dishwasher. Dejesus Garcia is a criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico wanted for forcible lewd acts on a child under 14, forcible rape and assault with intent to commit a felony. This "hard-working immigrant" has ties to San Diego.
- Rigoberto Leon Nino, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, is wanted by the San Diego County sheriff for vehicular manslaughter of a mother and one of her two small daughters. A past resident of Vista, the safe bet is that Leon Nino absconded to Mexico.
Of course, these cases are just the tip of the immigration iceberg. It's bad enough that Americans must contend with our own homegrown rapists and murderers. Do we really need to outsource to other countries for criminals as well?
The answer is obvious: Secure the borders now.

Uh no, but nice try to smear me as a quisling. The risk takers are the entreupreneurs who try to provide good products and services, despite the obstacles govt. puts in from of them.
ROFLMAO!!
dane's stupidity never ceases to amaze me
I know what you mean....just when you think he's managed to sink as low as he can, he manages to dredge down a few more feet.
Oh, so you mean like drug kingpins who use violent urban gangs to sell drugs and enforce their territories? They take great risks - law enforcement could find them and bust them, rivals could gun them down, people within their organization may be waiting for an opportunity to take them down and take over. But just imagine all the jobs and prosperity they create and how much money they contribute back into the economy. So, you're talking about this kind of "risk taker" so oppressed by the obstacles government puts in front of them?
And those who exploit women and force them into prostitution? They're risk takers too as are the prostitutes themselves. To make a living they risk violence at the hands of rivals, violence from their clients, sexually transmitted diseases including some that are fatal, and of course the risk that law enforcement will bust them and throw them in jail. But the pimps and whores put all kinds of money into the economy and provide employment. Are these the kind of "risk takers" that you're championing against the mean old government who puts so many obstacles in front of them?
What about those "risk takers" who would want to set up terrorist training camps in the U.S.? They've got the cast to invest and the entrepreneurial spirit to make such an enterprise work. They'd set up Madrassas to educated low income children. They would provide jobs and put all kinds of money back in the local economy. But the risk they take that they might be busted by the FBI or DHS, or worse that they may be overwhelmed with a riotous swarm of supporters from the ACLU, Democrat Party, CAIR, Hollyweird actors, and FR's OBL cabal certainly makes them "risk takers". Too bad they have government obstacles in front of them too, right?
Maybe we should set up taxpayer funded facilities where these "risk takers" can engage in commerce without as much risk. Kind of like the day labor centers set up for your criminal invader heroes. Maybe we should offer amnesty plans under various euphemisms (like "guest worker plan") to get government off these entrepreneurial "risk takers'" backs.
I think you're on to something, Dane.
And, as if that was not indictment enough, this particular quisling, like most of his fellow travelers,is a certified, Kool-Aid sipping member of the Hispandering GOP Big Tent collection of RINOs, liberals and moderates--a much larger, but equally pathetic, group of silk sock, country club, Bob Michael go-along-to-get-along Republicans.
god that was the longest run on collection of insults i've seen hahahahaha
The only thing Dane is "on" to are the Meds the orderlies give him every day at the Home. Every once in awhile he manages to elude his keepers just long enough to spew out a few barely understandable posts to FR.
This quisling sock puppet has been bitch slapped from one end of FR to the other, and still manages to babble on with his pro-illegal alien dreck.
I always try to do my best work for the quislings.
You're the author? Excellent essay.
You really hooked me with "El Paso"; I listened to the whole thing (4:29). I have several versions, but my favorite is by Marty Robbins--just outstanding. Test Question: what is the name of the girl he is trying to get back to in the cantina? (too easy)
"This quisling sock puppet has been bitch slapped from one end of FR to the other"
So has bayourod....neither have any shame. Such is the life of a propagandist sock puppet
"I think you're on to something, Dane."I just love a spirited debate. And Dane and Bayourod give us just that . .==================================
Without them, who could know?
Hey Dane - you going to that concert this weekend?
they are fun, and keep these threads bumped so others can read them and learn what idiot OBL sock puppet liar propagandists they are. i suspect their interest in illegal immigration is not because its the "party line" but they have a true self interest in the cheap labor pool.
A spirited debate? With Dane?
Surely you forgot the sarcasm tag. He's barely understandable.
Your posts here and the reasons that you excuse illegal immigration have really led me to see the light. There's so many things we can do to help the "risk takers" who are the entreprenuers who try to provide good products and services. To hell with the consequences and who gets hurt - or even whether it is right or wrong.
You're certainly on to something there, Dane.
I remember that well. A whole room full of outraged Californians that have had enough of this pandering and bull sh*t.
It was a sight to behold!
You'd think they would of got the message back then.
You're quite outspoken - have you toyed with running for public office? Congress perhaps . .

ROTFLMAO!
