Senate dropped E-Verify from stimulus bill The Chicago Tribune’s John Kass looked deep into the stimulus bill and found something not too many others have noticed: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/chi-kass-11-feb11,0,657719.column Snip: With all the hoopla over greasy pork being stuffed into President Barack Obama’s near trillion-dollar spending bill, it’s what is being cut out that’s receiving too little attention. And once Americans realize it, they won’t be happy. What’s been quietly stripped is a provision that would have required any businesses receiving federal stimulus cash to use an easy computer program called E-Verify to make sure that the jobs they generate go to American citizens or documented foreign workers, not illegal immigrants. Democrats in the House voted for the E-Verify component. But when the great porkulus package reached the Senate, Democrats there dropped it. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) wanted E-Verify in the stimulus bill, which led him to comment, “It’s another example of why people distrust Congress.” Via: http://marathonpundit.blogspot.com/2009/02/senate-dropped-e-verify-from-stimulus.html BTW, Obama’s friend Luis Gutierrez D-Chicago has been pushing amnesty again under the radar.

Border ping. (The border is moving north.)

Seems to me that building the fence and enforcing immigration laws would solve both terrorist concerns and kidnappings, as well as violence, drug trafficing, arms trafficing, etc.
Build the fence!!
I wonder how they will do in Washington, DC.
Maybe we can pay them to take a few RINOS and Dems South for a prolonged visit. The Dems won't let us fight 'em, so we will have to join 'em.
Put that money in Porkulus.
This is a little strange because I live in the Phoenix area and haven’t heard a word about this. I think I’ve heard of a case or two where a Hispanic child was kidnapped, but 370? Nope.
Refusing to secure the border is just more of that Economic Anti-Americanism....too many support illegal alien amnesty, NAFTA, and have MexicoPhilia to secure the border and prevent this stuff from happening
The number is deceptive, because of the way drop houses work.
Illegals pay half up front to be taken across the border to Phoenix, where they stay in a drop house until someone comes up with the other half of the money. While they are under armed guard, 25-30 people may technically be “kidnapped”.
The coyotes who take them across and hold them are a vicious lot, and face severe penalties if caught. So often they will keep demanding more money to release some of the illegals as well.
Every now and then, one of the illegals gets away, and tells the police, who bust the drop house. Bingo. 25-30 “kidnapping” charges against the coyotes.
Sanctuary city. Illegals rule.
Mexican annexation of SW USA bump for later.........

Kidnapping Capital of the U.S.A.
Washington Too Concerned With al Qaeda Terrorists to Care, Officials Say
By BRIAN ROSS, RICHARD ESPOSITO and ASA ESLOCKER
February 11, 2009—
In what officials caution is now a dangerous and even deadly crime wave, Phoenix, Arizona has become the kidnapping capital of America, with more incidents than any other city in the world outside of Mexico City and over 370 cases last year alone. But local authorities say Washington, DC is too obsessed with al Qaeda terrorists to care about what is happening in their own backyard right now.
“We’re in the eye of the storm,” Phoenix Police Chief Andy Anderson told ABC News of the violent crimes and ruthless tactics spurred by Mexico’s drug cartels that have expanded business across the border. “If it doesn’t stop here, if we’re not able to fix it here and get it turned around, it will go across the nation,” he said.

Is this why Obambi is coming to Arizona next week?
I think McCain represents this state.....
Does this tell anyone anything...
How could he have taken care of the US when he can’t even take care of Az. Just goes to show what the RNC gave us to vote for.
I did vote for McCain, but because he was my only choice.
