Ilegal Immigration Rage -- Local and National Frustrations
Human Events ^ | 8/21/2007 | Ericka Andersen

Posted on 08/21/2007 7:45:13 AM PDT by HoosierGirl25

After the immigration bill was killed, we let ourselves breathe a little easier. But just because that battle was conquered doesn't mean we don't have a long way to go. Last week's deportation of Elvira Arellano -- an illegal immigrant who'd been hiding out in a church for over a year -- has lifted the issue to the bubbling surface of controversy once again.

My own Montgomery County is the center of a specific battle right now. An ID card is apparantly being issued by immigrant advocacy group CASA de Maryland. According to the Washington Examiner, the group has provided more than 10,000 ID cards to illegals over the past 10 years.

Instead of enforcing the law, these cards encourage breaking it. They are used to enroll children in school, cash checks at certain banks and even vie as a residency document, according to the Examiner. And you don't have to prove your a resident of Montgomery County to get them -- just an identification of some kind with your native country noted.

It is interesting that CASA de Maryland has produced a 2007 report called "Protect Yourself From Immigration Raids," which gives advice to illegal immigrants on how to handle the authories. On the front page, it reads:"Some people who are not United States citizens have been arrested or detained by the U.S. government. Learn how to protect yourself if this happens to you!" This was produced in affiliation with Detention Watch Network and National Immigration Project of the National Lawyer’s Guild. These are groups that must be closely monitored due to their obvious dedication to harboring illegals.

Just two weeks ago, the Washington Times reported that, "Islamic extremists embedded in the United States -- posing as Hispanic nationals -- are partnering with violent Mexican drug gangs to finance terror networks in the Middle East, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration report."

It's clear that terrorists and other harmful individuals to American's national security are taking advantage of our lax border security and capitilizing on what some (like Kirsten Powers on last night's O'Reilly Factor) call "compassion."

The article states that according to a DEA intelligence report, "Lack of information sharing between U.S. intelligence agencies is creating a blind spot in the war on terror and has left the U.S. vulnerable to another attack, the report states."

Lou Dobbs reported on this trend (and was joined by California Republican Rep. Ed Royce) in an Aug. 8 broadcast, saying that, "The fact is, the Republican secretary of the Department of Homeland Security has refused to move ahead with that fence. Has played every game imaginable to avoid securing that border and has been nothing more than a political functionary in support of this administration rather than a man taking seriously his obligations to the safety and the welfare of the American people."

So there is a lot to be done. Enforce the laws. Build the fence. Fight the battle for legal immigration against those -- like CASA de Maryland and bleeding heart liberals -- who advocate what is essentially lawless migration to an America. If that ever becomes a more palpable reality (as the lack of enforcement currently previews the possibility), we will have lost more than just national security and proud citizenship -- but our national identity and much more.

CASA de Maryland has produced a 2007 report called "Protect Yourself From Immigration Raid"

Downloadable in PDF format at Casa de Maryland reports page

Excerpts:

Talk with your co-workers to see if they are willing to make a collective decision that everyone - regardless of their immigration status - will remain silent and ask to speak with an attorney in the event of a workplace raid.

Tell co-workers not to run and to remain calm if there is a raid.

If there is a union at your workplace, contact your union spokesperson to find out more about preparing for a raid.

These materials were prepared through the collaboration of:

CASA of Maryland
Detention Watch Network
National Immigration Project of the National Lawyer’s Guild

Special thanks to Julie Dahlstrom of the National Immigration Project and Juan Carlos Ruiz of National Community Capacity Consultants for their work in developing the contents of these materials.

Current federal law 8USC 1373(a) PROHIBITS SANCTUARY CITIES. It reads as follows:

"Notwithstanding any other provision of federal, state, or local law, a federal, state, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual."

QUISLING: a synonym for traitor, someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.

U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"


Invasion: \In*va"sion\, n. [L. invasio: cf. F. invasion. See Invade.] [1913 Webster]

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.

And his latest security "idea" is declaring chicken houses terror targets requiring growers to register their propane tanks, if they are over a certain size........

These people have absolutely no respect for the laws of our country.

WHO WILL SPEAK UP FOR THE CITIZENS OF AMERICA??? Mr. President? Absolutely no. Senators? Few. Representatives? A few more. Governor (CA)? No. Mayor (L.A.)? Absolutely no.

Taxation without representation (and many more crimes committed against the American taxpayer/citizen.

“NO MORE VOTES FOR GLOBALIST/OPEN BORDERS POLITICIANS/CROOKS!”

Can any good come from evil? Well, not directly, but

it is clear that all of the violent crimes perpetrated by

illegals is starting to have a real impact on average

Americans. A few years ago, I believe Shamnesty would have

passed, as most illegals were confined to the western states

Under the skilled leadership of our esteemed POTUS, an extra

10 million illegals have jumped our borders. Many of them

are criminals. Now they are wrecking communities from Boston

to North Carolina to San Francisco. It is tragic that this

was the only way to make people aware of this INVASION, but

we may indeed have turned the corner on public awareness.

ABC-News Tonight did a hit piece on illegals----sparked by the heinous execution-style killing of three up-and-coming Black college students in Newark, NJ (a Black enclave).

One of the killers---Carranza---had 31 counts of child rape against him---but was set free by the assorted "diversity" morons in Newark.

SUSPECTS UNDER ARREST Melvin Jovel, Jose Carranza, Rodolfo Godinez (L to R)

The IRS has identified non-profits as potential money-laundering and tax evasion vehicles. Money could be laundered through legitimate businesses then fraudulently booked as a "donation" using accounting fraud.

The international implications are fraught with money-laundering possibilities.

Drug money could easily be laundered through tax-free donations----the "donation" is then redeposited offshore after the N/P takes a cut.

For example, Western Union could be conducting a large scale money laundering operation in the export of this type of laundered cash. If money was derived from illegal activities in this country, Western Union is aidingand abetting the conversion of monies (also a crime). International WU money transfers might need to be filtered and siezed.

ACTION YOU CAN TAKE Report suspected money laundering and tax evasion as follows: You may remain anonymous if you wish.
