There was a big 'gang problem summit' that Atty. Gen. Gonzales just attended. He's going to educate and get jobs for the latino gang bangers. And here I thought his job was enforcing the LAW, not education.

From Dobbs 2/5/07

ALBERTO GONZALES, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL: These are individuals who have run into a spell of tough luck.

The Los Angeles region alone has 120,000 gang members. Gang crime here jumped 14 percent last year.

GONZALES: I have an obligation to ensure that the laws are enforced and that people are prosecuted. But I'm equally concerned with making sure that we're taking steps as a government, both at the federal, state, local level, to provide educational programs, to provide job opportunities, to prevent these kids from joining gangs in the first place.

WIAN: Gangs now control several L.A. communities and increasingly operate across international borders. But most political leaders downplay the link between failed border security and gang violence and they continue to support sanctuary policies that prevent local police from arresting illegal alien gang members for immigration offenses. VILLARAIGOSA: We need to ensure that the victims of crime, that witnesses to crime come forward. And so, we don't want them to believe that we're going to report them to ICE.

WIAN: Attorney General Gonzales says he believes it's important to fight gangs in a way that respects human dignity.

This is the same Liberal crap that's been going on for decades now. Protect the Illegals and assure them they can come forward with the grievances without fear of deportation. Give them bank accounts so, they won't get robbed. Issues them drivers licenses so they will respect our traffic laws. Give them under-prime mortgages so they can afford housing. Let them abuse our medical facilities so they won't need to miss work. Free lunches, dinners and breakfast. Food stamps. $250,000 per yr. day labor sites ETC.!!

Bend over backwards to help the Illegal Invaders at the expense of the taxpayers and real citizens of this country. Man, if I ever have to move to another country, I can only hope I will be welcomed in this fashion. Of course, I know I won't be.
