One Person Arrested After San Diego Border Crossing Shutdown for 9 Hours Following Shooting | ||||
By THOMAS WATKINS, Associated Press Writer SAN DIEGO -- The nation's busiest border crossing reopened early Friday after being shut down for nine hours when federal authorities shot and killed the driver of a vehicle headed for Mexico, officials said. One passenger in the vehicle was arrested on smuggling charges after the shooting. Four others were illegal immigrants who told investigators they had paid someone to pick them up, San Diego police said in a statement. The four were being processed Friday for deportation, Lt. Jeff Sferra said. The Mexican government, meanwhile, asked its consulate to investigate the incident. U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents had started following the driver's black SUV Thursday afternoon after somebody reported seeing it pick up suspected illegal immigrants near the U.S. side of the Otay Mesa border crossing, said Lt. Kevin Rooney of San Diego Police Department. Border Patrol officers in an unmarked vehicle followed it for a few miles. When the SUV turned toward the San Ysidro Port of Entry that connects Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego, other agents blocked the southbound lanes at the border. As traffic backed up, the suspect vehicle stopped on the shoulder about 50 feet north of the crossing. The agents approached and tried to get the driver to step out of the SUV. When the driver refused, agents smashed the drivers' side window with a baton. At that point, the suspect "accelerated and nearly pinned an agent standing next to the vehicle," Sferra said. Two agents then opened fire. Shots fired by a Border Patrol agent struck the driver, Sferra confirmed. He said he was not aware of any attempt to shoot at the tires before the driver was shot. The 22-year-old driver, whose identity has not been released, died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds, said Maurice Luque, a spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. It wasn't immediately clear if the driver was armed. The five passengers, whose identities were not released, were unharmed. In Mexico, presidential spokesman Ruben Aguilar said it appeared the driver was engaging in organized crime or people smuggling, and that the vehicle was trying to escape U.S. officials by crossing into Mexico. |

OPEN-BORDERS HACKS {Investigative}
By Michelle Malkin
Americans lining up to do the job...***
Turns out Smallwood is quite a busy, savvy p.r. agent for the open-borders lobby.
I would like the LA Times to explain its failure to disclose these relevant details. Was this laziness and incompetence on the part of the reporter? Or something else? Will they go back and let readers know the full picture of who this woman is? What else aren't they telling us?
And while they're at it, why don't the Times' editors press a little harder on this:
The other employees are Latino and, as far as Smallwood can tell, all in the country legally. Her employees need driver's licenses and the ability to move through freeway checkpoints near the border, which tend to eliminate any with fake papers.
Since they are subsidizing this government contractor, the taxpayers of California might like to get a straight answer on the immigration status of Smallwood's employees. Driver's license requirements, of course, are no barrier for illegal aliens to get jobs. Hello:
Maybe the LA Times could find out and report back on the other side of the story. For once.

I think we'd be having this wake-up call regardless but at least it was a national stage for all to see where Ted's true allegiances lie. This is also partly what puts GW in some very quesionable light.
The Mexican government didn't take five seconds before demanding an investigation -- yet how many Mexican's have killed our police officers and then hotfooted it over the border only to have our pleas to find and return them to the US ignored?
Lost in all the controvery, however, is the more disturbing fact that the site a covered building featuring picnic tables and bathrooms was founded by a Muslim charity with ties to suspected Saudi-backed
terror front groups. Its town operating permit wont expire until the fall of 2007, allowing the group not only time to aid and abet hundreds more illegal immigrants, but possibly recruit them. The hiring center called the Herndon Official Workers Center is a charitable front for daawa, or Islamic outreach to non-Muslims. Local law enforcement officials say the Saudis see new Hispanic arrivals to America as particularly ripe for conversion to Islam, and have even added an annex to their madrassa in
another Washington suburb to help indoctrinate the beholden immigrants..."

The Minutemen say the patrols here are a natural extension of their movement, which has grown to include chapters in large cities. One of these chapters, in Northern Virginia, has recently announced plans to patrol day-labor sites in Herndon to look for workers who have entered the country illegally.

Hooray, welcome all of you.

More from WeHateGringos.com , the WOT and Open Border's
There is some debate on the Net about our WeHateGringos.com Video showing Muslim support for Osama Bin Laden and the terrorist attacks on 9/11. A few have asked why we would include these fanatics in a video about the illegal alien hatred for the U.S.
All of the audio content and most of the photos in our video came from one event that took place last year in Baldwin Park, California. The Muslim terror supporters were part of the illegal alien rally -- they shared
the same stage. The anti-US Muslims, along with the Mexican illegal aliens, socialists, anarchists, and communists are now a united front all in agreement to bring our nation to its knees.
Our culture, our neighborhoods, our jobs, our safety is under massive assault. They work under the radar, they give themselves nice names like, "Project Hope and Harmony" and "Reston Interfaith," all of them geared
to make us feel good and not worry about their objectives. Read this article by Paul Sperry of the Hoover Institution. He clears up the myth that its
only the radical Mexicans who hate us Gringos.
Please forward to all on your lists -- the mainstream media won't report on this. It's up to us to wake up our fellow Americans.
Who pyas the taxes on these earnings? Please don't tell me the victim does.
"Senator Ensign said we should not reward illegal behavior. It is insulting to other immigrants and Americans. Under current law it is a felony to steal someone's social security number. However, under the bill this is waived."
PATHETICALLY DISGUSTING & INSULTING TO SAY THE LEAST! The senators who wrote this bill and VOTE for it should be FIRED!!
