Illegal Immigration

Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier ^ | May 21, 2008 | Kamyar Enshayan

[Tex Pete]

Kamyar Enshayan is an adjunct professor at the University of Northern Iowa. Obviously, one of those good ol' leftists indoctrinating our kids. "Kamyar Enshayan is program manager for UNI's Center for Energy and Environmental Education and directs several community-wide projects. "Buy Fresh, Buy Local" is designed to make it easier for people to find locally grown food items. "Yard for Kids" is a community health education program aimed at significantly reducing the use of lawn weed killers and reducing children's exposure to these toxins at schools, parks and home. "UNI Energywi$e" is working to reduce energy waste on campus, saving considerable dollars. He is an agricultural engineer and teaches environmental studies as an adjunct faculty at UNI."

...and I just noticed he gave money to one of Dennis Kucinich’s campaigns. Shocker.

Who the heck is this author?

Good question on which Muslim country Kamyar Enshayan comes from.

Some flurried back checking on Google by me. Boys oh boys, I had to got to about seven threads first. Herewith:

He is an Iranian.

He left that country at 17 years of age. To America he came. He is 40 years old and is a college academic. It is stated he carried on moderately activist work, "while not even having a green card and could have been subject to deportation".

I presume this situation is now remedied.

I mean, the invasion of Iraq has been illegal by international law;

You would think that an educated college professor would not stoop to such out right lies. (OK it is about as common as ants at a picnic)

CEDAR FALLS --- Since when has illegal-ness been such an
important criteria for federal action, and people worrying
about the "illegals?" I mean, the invasion of Iraq has been
illegal by international law; U.S. government and some
corporations have been involved in all sorts of covert and
overt illegal operations all over the world, and for a long
time.

...that'll about do.

There are plenty of reports of gang violence south of the border. You don't hear so much about Americans at the Border. Too bad.

Americans are regularly abused. According to this article entitled US Warns Tourists of 'Small-Unit Combat' at Mexico Border -- Murder and kidnapping of Americans has become routine all along the US Mexican border. According to the State Department sometimes heavily armed attackers wear the uniforms of the Mexican police or military.

If there is silence about events at the border. The silence about killings north of the border is deafening. And yet....

More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says Think about it. A man or woman killed in Iraq or Iran in the line of duty is a hero. But what is an American killed at home by an illegal alien because the government has failed in its sworn duty to guard the borders. This is a pact between the sovereign and the person has paid taxes and loyalty. The answer is to that question is pretty awful. And it bodes ill for the republic.

But is it true?

When you start digging into the numbers the only ones that can be sourced with the feds are the number of American murdered in 2005: 16692
I have seen federal numbers for illegals held in jail ranging from 19.3% to 27% of the federal prison population.

Here's a sampling of USA cities wanted for murder. What you'll see is that in big USA cities like LA or NYC most of the murderers are Hispanic. Unknown are the % of illegals. In smaller cities the FBI will post the nationalities of the murderers. About 25% of the most wanted are illegals wanted for murder. This number agrees with the percentage of illegals incarcerated in federal prisons. +-25%

Pictures of top 10 most wanted in LA. Up until recent stories about crime in LA posted by the LA Times--the pictures included the nationality of the murderers. They were all foreign nationals and mostly Mexican.

Chicago wanted for Murder


Philadelphia wanted for murder

San Francisco wanted for Murder


New Orleans wanted for Murder

Pictures of suspects wanted for murder in Washington DC

FBI USA 10 most wanted. (two of 10 are Mexican nationals) Around 40% of the FBI's wanted for murder are Mexican Nationals

There are currently no exact numbers on the number of Americans killed by illegals. Part of the reason is that the government deliberately obscures the number. I talked on the phone with the head of statistics for the US Bureau of Prisons. He said his office wasn't allowed to publish the number of illegal alien murderers. Rather they were forced to put legal and non legal residents in the same category. He said further that most of illegals in the federal prisons were in for drug related charges. Most of the illegals in jail for murder were in the state prisons. I talked to ICE. They put out detailed numbers on illegal child molestors. However, they put out nothing on illegal murderers.

Part of the reason for the silence on the matter is that there is evidence to suggest that most Americans--but by no means all -- being killed by illegals are black--as is the suggestion in this LA Times Article. Also this article from the LA Times. And here. This makes intuitive sense. We see stories regularly of drug gang killings in Mexico but we don't see those same stories in the USA. The reason we don't see those stories is not because its not happening. Rather we don't see the stories about illegals killing blacks because that kind of story is terribly politically incorrect. The populations being displaced in downtown sanctuary cities especially are American blacks. That means that their criminal elements would be pushed aside by Mexican gangs as well. That's also the story that the wanted for murder posters in all the major cities seems to suggest.

Why isn't there an outcry in the black community? Beats me.

Nevertheless, the pattern of non reporting is starting to break. Discovery Channel has a series called Gangland that mentions ethnic cleasing of blacks by Mexican gangs

Reported Foreign Nationals on Death Row in the U.S.

To look at other USA cities go here http://stlouis.fbi.gov/ and replace stlouis with the city you want.

All that said the true number of criminal aliens is far higher than is revealed by criminal aliens in prisons. Most are simply waived through the courts.DHS Secretary Chertoff, has been quoted as warning that two million people in this country illegally have committed serious crimes. If you check the links you'll notice that its McCain who cites Chertoff. See also here and here Here is more info from Judicial Watch.

However the number of illegals on death row is far lower. Sadly, so many small towns and villages across America have sent their warriors off to war half way across the world only to see communities fill up with illegal aliens.

Oh man. Do you know how native people are treated south of the border? Get real.

[yongin]

BTTT

[VanShuyten]

He can’t be that bright. He’s an ag engineer (really?), but he can only get work as a part-time teacher at the smallest state school. Most ag engineers have no problem getting real jobs with real companies.

Oh man. Do you know how native people are treated south of the border? Get real.

Yeah these liberal wacks never answer to that. Mexico's immigration policies make the US look like Sesame Street.... one thing I can't stand...unbridled stupidity...

WE are not and have never been a country of immigrants. Since about 1690 the majority of the people of America were born here. To say we are country of immigrants is to demean our birthright and to elevate the status of illegal aliens. In case you never notice they only use the term “nation of immigrants” when talking about illegal aliens. It was never used prior to the Clinton gang. It is nothing but liberal propaganda.

This article is just more of the backward victim mentality thinking that seems to be so pervasive among those who can't wrap their minds around the concept that these illegal aliens are repeat criminal offenders. Their first offense was when they cross our boarders illegally and their offenses were compounded by stealing the identities of honest Americans and using false Social Security Numbers. These people are not victims. These people are felons. If one of these “bleeding hearts” had an “illegal” break into their home because the “bleeding heart” had something the “illegal” wanted, I wonder if their views would change.

As the mother of two Boarder Patrol Agents, who put their lives on the line for our country daily, I feel I have a right to have a strong opinion on this matter. These people chose to steal the right to come into our country knowing they are breaking the law. Sometimes they carry guns and quite often they carry drugs.

After they are here, they don't to work contribute to our country. Most of the illegals work to just survive and send as much money as possible back to their home of origin. How does that help our country? Many are on welfare. We pay for their children's schooling. We pay for their medical care. We pay and they send their money “home”.

The answer is not to feel sorry for the illegals and go after the employers. The answer is to go after BOTH. The responsibility lies on both sides but please don't, for one minute, think these these illegal aliens are innocent victims. In addition, do not ever confuse them with responsible respectable immigrants. Immigrants come with the intent of joining our society and becoming a citizen. That is the big difference. Illegals have no intention of becoming a citizen. They just come for the money.

Wow!! Thanks for a clear, well-thought out and credible opinion. I have a son in law enforcement, too, who deals constantly with the criminal/social problems that come from illegals. Open-borders is ridiculous and puts us all in danger.

Thanks for responding with substance. I learned a lot from your post. Thank you.
