Let's see, who's the xenophobe, here? (Fr Filled his mailbox)

HERALD NEWS ^ | Sunday, July 8, 2007 | ROGER HERNANDEZ

[#1CTYankee]

Been getting a ton of mail about my column of last week. My main point: "All the posturing about illegal immigrants is really an attack aimed at everybody whose name ends in 'ez.'"

Snip....

What really caught my attention was his link to a forum at FreeRepublic.com where my column was being, umm, discussed.

One posting had the same bandito featured on Ralph's Mexifornia license (turns out it's the actor Alfonso Bedoya in "The Treasure of Sierra Madre") and said: "Borders? Borders? We don' need no steenking borders. We don't need no steekin' Roger Hernandez neither!"

[melancholy]

BTW, Shirtoff, Mel Martinez and every individual that foisted amnesty on us and our Nation gets kicked out of Washington, ASAP.

Absolutely, but until we do, we have to work them again to stop them from putting their tails between their legs exiting Iraq!

I have faith in the President who will exercise his veto power until victory is achieved before the end of '08.

[#1CTYankee]

" Ole, amigos, let's go have a horchata and a churros in the Senate tacoteria .... Viva Mexico."

Once again, you went there.

Why don't you send that caption to our little friend?

Now that would be cruel.

He, he, he, he.

[Psycho_Bunny]

People like Roger - being intellectually incapable of understanding the importance of the Rule Of Law in government - are only capable of experiencing politics through emotions.

[nicmarlo]

Yoo hoo....what part of the following, specifically, do you NOT understand, Roger Hernandez?

The Law Against Hiring or Harboring Illegal Aliens

Federal Law--Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)

A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he: assists an illegal alien she/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or encourages that illegal alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

ILLEGAL HIRING:

Section 1324a: Any person who knowingly hires/harbors/transports any illegal alien is guilty of a felony punishable by 10 years jail + $2000 fine per illegal alien + forfeiture of the vehicle or property used to commit the crime.

CONSTRUCTIVE KNOWLEDGE:

An employer has constructive knowledge that an employee is an illegal unauthorized worker if a reasonable person would infer it from the facts.⁽¹⁰⁾ Constructive knowledge constituting a violation of federal law has been found where (1) the I-9 employment eligibility form has not been properly completed, including supporting documentation, (2) the employer has learned from other individuals, media reports, or any source of information available to the employer, that the alien is unauthorized to work, or (3) the employer acts with reckless disregard for the legal consequences of permitting a third party to provide or introduce an illegal alien into the employer’s work force.⁽¹¹⁾ Knowledge cannot be inferred solely on the basis of an individual’s accent or foreign appearance. Actual specific knowledge is not required. For example, a newspaper article stating that ballrooms depend on an illegal alien workforce of dance hostesses was held by the courts to be a reasonable ground for suspicion that unlawful conduct had occurred.⁽¹²⁾

⁽¹⁰⁾8 CFR 274a.1(l).
⁽¹¹⁾8 CFR 274a.1(l)(1).
⁽¹²⁾Seven Star Inc. v. U.S., 933 F. 2d 791 (9th Cir., 1991).

CRIMINAL SOLICITATION
Section 100.10: Criminal solicitation in the second degree.

A person is guilty of criminal solicitation in the second degree when, with intent that another person engage in conduct constituting a class A felony, he solicits, requests, commands, importunes or otherwise attempts to cause such other person to engage in such conduct.

Criminal solicitation in the second degree is a class D felony.

In addition to the federal statutes....state laws and local ordinances controlling fair labor practices, workers compensation, zoning, safe housing and rental property, nuisance, licensing, street vending, and solicitations by contractors may also apply to activities that involve illegal aliens.

ILLEGAL ENTRY:

USC 8 Section 1325:

(a)....Any alien who:

(1) Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or

(2) Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or

(3) Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under Title 18 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under Title 18, or imprisoned not more than two years or both.

(b) Improper time or place, civil penalties - Any alien who is apprehended while entering (or attempting to enter) the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty of

(1) at least $50 and not more than $250 for each such entry (or attempted entry); or

(2) twice the amount specified in paragraph (1) in the case of an alien who has been previously subject to a civil penalty under this subsection. Civil penalties under this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any criminal or other civil penalties that may be imposed.

(c) Marriage fraud - Any individual who knowingly enters into a marriage for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or fined not more than $250,000 or both.

(d) Immigration-related entrepreneurship fraud - Any individual who knowingly establishes a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, fined in accordance with title 18, or both.

SHARING OF INFORMATION NOT RESTRICTED
Section 1644: Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, no State or local government entity may be prohibited, or in any way restricted, from sending to or receiving from the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of an alien in the United States (affirmed City of New York v. United States, No. 97-61820, ___, (2nd Cir. 1997); appealed from US v. Giuliani, (S.D.N.Y. 1996).

AUTHORITY TO ARREST
Section 1324c: All officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws shall have authority to make arrests for a violation of any provision of this section (affirmed United States v. Perez-Gonzalez, No. 01-3594, 307 F.3d 443, (6th Cir. 2002).

BTW, that applies to EVERYONE, whether or not their name ends with "ez"....is that EASY enough for you to understand????

[Liz]

Oh, alright---to make amends, here's a little something for you to serve with the tacos.

[Liz]

Let’s see your papers, Roger.

[nicmarlo]

hehehe!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Roger must be really angry his side LOST.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Notice how “illegals” are “immigrants” not law breakers. I have no problem with anybody who comes here legally, from anywhere south of the border.........

Hey ROGER HERNANDEZ!

Did you see what Red Badger wrote?!? Red Badger represents the views of 99% of conservatives on this forum. So quit labeling us "xenophobes" or whatever $3.00 word your thesarus can find.

If you bothered reading the thoughts and opinions of conservatives...or bothered listening to what we say, you would see we support legal immigration but we detest law breaking.

[unspun]

Race whiner.

[Borax Queen]

Liz has good ones!

[BillyZoom]

Another message came from a “Phil,” who wrote, “You can throw all those Viva La Raza talking points out all day long (never engage in debate, just cry racist/nativist/xenophobe).”

Hey!!! That’s me.

Can’t believe he actually read it.

But he called me estupido. Think I’ll go cry in my cervesa.

[#1CTYankee]

"Hey!!! That’s me.

Oh man, too funny!

The only thing finnier is he could read.

[#1CTYankee]

"People like Roger - being intellectually incapable of understanding the importance of the Rule Of Law in government - are only capable of experiencing politics through emotions."

The Bunny hits it again, rule of law is lost if you only apply it when it forwards your agenda.

[#1CTYankee]

"BTW, that applies to EVERYONE, whether or not their name ends with "ez"....is that EASY enough for you to understand????"

Ah... no! what part of ez to call people names, classify people with inappropriate stereotype's don't you (We) get?

Affirmative action, state/government subsidies, bilingual pamphlets for illegal aliens are what's required.

Illegal Women and children hit hardest. /s

[#1CTYankee]

"Race whiner."

Get's more attention than just whiner.

[#1CTYankee]

"Hey ROGER HERNANDEZ!"

"If you bothered reading the thoughts and opinions of conservatives...or bothered listening to what we say, you would see we support legal immigration but we detest law breaking".

Ow! do you think he got the message?

Unlikely.

[SunkenCiv]

self-ping.

[Hardastarboard]

I would consider taking 20 million Koreans if we could get rid of 20 million liberals.

Agreed. Koreans are cool. And liberals aren't.

[bannie]

...are the president of the United States and the 46 senators who supported the bill that went down to defeat last week "eager" or merely "willing" to "destroy the USA."

Apparently, yes.
