March 3, 2010 (MMD Newswire) -- Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is requesting that Federal authorities charge the illegal aliens caught stealing over 500 railroad spikes in North Carolina with terrorism charges, since they entered America illegally and worked to sabotage train tracks in a way that could have resulted in mass casualties.
"We are at war with terrorists and stealing train spikes, which is likely to cause a train to derail is an act of terrorism," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "The Obama administration must admit that their failure to adequately enforce our border and immigration laws is putting American lives at risk of terrorism." The Asheville Citizen Times reported on March 2, 2010 that police had arrested TWO ILLEGAL ALIENS, Cruz Mario Carnacion, 37 and Jose Luis Trejo-Yanez for being in possession of more than 500 STOLEN 7-inch spike's that were taken from the railroad tracks owned by Norfolk Southern Railroad.
This latest incident is similar to arrests of illegal aliens stealing railroad tracks and spikes from railroads near Yuma, AZ, which was reported by US Customs and Border Patrol on March 11, 2008.
"We believe that this documented pattern of illegal immigrants stealing railroad parts from tracks and putting American lives at risk is a form of terrorism that will likely not be reported by the national media,"said William Gheen. "America and Americans are under attack in our own nation and many times illegal aliens are engaging in domestic terrorism against our citizens and nation."
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is warning Americans of these illegal alien terrorism attempts through an massive online network of supporters and blogger. Activists across the nation are being encouraged to contact their local talk radio shows and elected officials to share this information about the illegal aliens stealing railroad spikes. Activists are also being asked to call their members of Congress and Janet Napolitano at the Department of Homeland Security to ask her to focus on enforcing our existing immigration laws, instead of focusing on trying to pass the current AMNESTY legislation active in Congress.
Janet Napolitano's number is 202-282-8000
I’m a train buff and have a few spikes. They’re ugly actually.

Exclusive: Delays in Virtual Border Fence Puts U.S. at Further Security Risk
Michael Cutler
[snips]When it comes to the idea of a virtual fence on our border with Mexico, the government should simply refer to this fiasco as Operation Back-Rub, along with all of the other military-sounding projects aimed at protecting our nation from the massive influx of illegal aliens, among whom are criminals and, undoubtedly, terrorist sympathizers and terrorists.
For far too long, our government has been able to get away with creating illusions that do not match reality. It has whittled away at our expectations of privacy and freedom in the name of national security and yet refuses to truly secure our borders and create an immigration system that has real integrity. In the quest for the creation of the illusion of living up to its obligations, our nation’s “leaders” have squandered billions of hard-earned taxpayer dollars while our borders are as porous as a sieve. Additionally, the immigration bureaucracy that alleges to represent the “legal” process for aliens to seek to secure resident alien status and even United States citizenship rewards massive levels of fraud and makes an absolute mockery of those true immigrants whose lifelong dream is to legally immigrate to the United States, play by the rules and follow our nation’s laws to become a part of this nation.
The fence on the border in and of itself will not protect our nation. However, it should be an integral component of an immigration system that secures the sovereignty of our nation’s borders and aids in protecting our nation and our citizens from the unlawful entry of illegal aliens, including criminals and terrorists, as well as a wide variety of contraband such as narcotics, counterfeit goods that may compromise public health and safety, and even weapons of mass destruction.
Every unsecured mile of border provides criminals, terrorists and other illegal aliens ample opportunity to enter our country without detection. Think about how much destruction just 19 terrorists inflicted on our nation on September 11, 2001.
When President John F. Kennedy established the goal of sending American astronauts to the moon and returning them safely to the earth, this audacious proposal was to be carried out in less than a decade, marking the last time that the American Can do! spirit was applied.
Today, our nation is the nation of “Can’t do” with an explanation and an excuse explaining yet another failure.
Is this acceptable?

“Men Arrested, Accused Of Stealing Railroad Spikes
Spikes Stolen From Active Railroad Tracks”
Stephanie Moore, WYFF News 4 Producer
POSTED: 1:20 pm EST March 1, 2010
UPDATED: 1:38 pm EST March 1, 2010
SNIPPET: “Henderson County, N.C. — Henderson County deputies arrested two men accused of stealing railroad spikes from Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks.
The men were arrested after deputies were called to investigate suspicious activity on the tracks near West Blue Ridge Road in the Flatrock area of Henderson County.
During the investigation, deputies found the men had more than 500 spikes that had been taken from a stretch of active railroad tracks.
Henderson County Sheriff Tim Davis said, This act of theft could have easily had catastrophic consequences had a train derailed in this area.”

More on this. The photos don’t look like the typical gang types, so they could be just willing dupes. Nevertheless, if a train derails because of intent or stupidity it would be just as tragic.
Men Face Deportation After Theft Arrests
Two men face deportation after they were arrested in the theft of more than 500 railroad spikes from train tracks still in use in western North Carolina.
[Cruz Carnacion and Jose Trejo-Yanez]
Cruz Carnacion and Jose Trejo-Yanez
The men were charged in connection with the spikes from train tracks near Flat Rock.
Police said they found Cruz Mario Carnacion, 37, and Jose Luis Trejo-Yanez, 35, with more than 500 7-inch steel spikes, which can be sold for scrap.
Henderson County Sheriff Rick Davis said the missing spikes could have caused a derailment.
The men are charged with conspiracy to damage railroad property, willful injury to railroad property and trespassing on railroad property.
The men are being held on Immigration and Customs Enforcement orders pending deportation proceedings.

Good find. Dozens of people could be killed by this crime by illegal aliens.
Thanks to the Quisling traitors, including many RINOs.
What do you think, Travis. Were they just selling these spikes for scrap??
lol....Maybe they’re welding them onto long rods for ladders to sell back to the other aliens for $500 each before they let them cross. Seems like they all want a piece of the smuggling action.
I know they’ve been stealing aluminum nuts and utility box doors etc, but iron? I guess it all adds up for scrap value.
I’d tie them to the tracks and let them meet hayzeuz that way.
Well, in any case, they know the danger to the train and didn’t care...they just want a ‘better life’ no matter how many of us are sacrificed for it. I lived near a railroad track when I was 4 years old and knew it was BAD to pull out a spike.
detailed history of McCains voting JUST on amnesty
2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of motion to invoke cloture on S. 1639, a bill to reward illegal aliens with amnesty Sen. McCain voted in favor of a second motion to invoke cloture on S. 1639 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Edward Kennedy), a bill to reward up to 6 million illegal aliens with amnesty. The motion to invoke cloture would have limited further debate on the bill and moved it to a final vote. A vote for cloture was effectively a vote in favor of passing the amnesty-guestworker bill. The motion to invoke cloture failed by a vote of 46 to 53.
2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens Sen. McCain voted in favor of a motion to invoke cloture on S. 1639 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Edward Kennedy), a bill to reward illegal aliens with amnesty. The motion to invoke cloture was a move to initiate debate on the proposal and limit further discussion of amendments to a previously-agreed upon set of proposals thus a vote against cloture was effectively a vote in favor of killing the amnesty-guestworker bill. The motion to invoke cloture passed by a vote of 64 to 35.
2007: Voted on Senate floor against reducing amnesties for illegal aliens Sen. McCain voted in favor of a motion to invoke cloture on the substitute amendment (SA 1150) to S. 1348, a bill to reward illegal aliens with amnesty. The motion to invoke cloture would have ended debate on the proposal and limited further discussion of amendments to a previously-agreed upon set of proposals thus a vote in favor of cloture was effectively a vote in favor of the amnesty-guestworker bill. The motion to invoke cloture failed by a vote of 45 to 50.
2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of amendment to create a disincentive to apply for amnesty Sen. McCain voted in favor of the Cornyn Amendment (SA 1250) to S. 1348 to discourage applicants from applying for amnesty by eliminating the provisions protecting the confidentiality of the information contained in amnesty applications and, instead, requires the sharing of application-related information upon the request of a law enforcement agency, intelligence, or national security agency, or DHS component when requested in connection with a duly-authorized investigation of a civil violation. The Cornyn Amendment passed by a vote of 57 to 39.
2007: Voted on Senate floor against amendment to bar certain criminals from amnesty Sen. McCain voted against the Cornyn Amendment (SA 1184) to S. 1385 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid) to bar criminal aliens from receiving amnesty. Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff has estimated that 15% of illegal aliens are criminals. The Cornyn Amendment failed by a vote of 46 to 51.
2007: Voted against amendment to strip amnesty provisions from S. 1348 in 2007 Sen. McCain voted against the Vitter Amendment to strip the amnesty provisions from S. 1348 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid). The Vitter Amendment failed by a vote of 29 to 66.
2007: Cosponsoring S. 774 to reward illegal aliens with amnesty S. 774 (whose main sponsor is Sen. Dick Durbin) would reward illegal aliens under the age of 21 who have been physically present in the country for five years and are in 7th grade or above with amnesty. An estimated 500,000 to 600,000 illegal aliens would qualify for this amnesty.
2007: Cosponsoring S. 340 to grant amnesty to illegal aliens (AgJOBS) Sen. McCain is a cosponsor of S. 340 (whose main sponsor is Sen. Dianne Feinstein) to encourage more illegal immigration by rewarding certain illegal aliens who work in agriculture with amnesty.
2006: Voted on Senate floor in favor of S. 2611 to reward illegal aliens with amnesty Sen. McCain voted in favor of final passage of S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Arlen Specter) which includes an amnesty (both immediate and deferred) for 10.2 million illegal aliens (6.7 million illegal alien workers and 3.5 million illegal alien spouses and/children). S. 2611 passed by a vote of 62 to 36.
2006: Voted in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens Sen. McCain voted in favor of a motion to invoke cloture on S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Arlen Specter) which includes an amnesty (both immediate and deferred) for 10.2 million illegal aliens (6.7 million illegal alien workers and 3.5 million illegal alien spouses and/children). The motion to invoke cloture passed by a vote of 73 to 25.
2006: Voted against amendment to reward 2 million illegal aliens with amnesty Sen. McCain voted against the Feinstein Amendment to S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Arlen Specter) to create an orange card that would allow an estimated two million illegal aliens to pay a fine, and after 6-8 years, adjust to Lawful Permanent Resident status. The Feinstein Amendment failed by a vote of 37 to 61 .
2006: Voted against amendment to kill amnesty provisions Sen. McCain voted against the Vitter amendment (SA 3963) to S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Arlen Specter) to remove provisions authorizing the earned legalization and agricultural worker amnesty schemes that would grant amnesty to an estimated 16 million illegal aliens and their families (according to a May, 2006 study by the Heritage Foundations Robert Rector). The Vitter amendment failed by a vote of 33 to 66.
2006: Voted against procedural move to reward illegal aliens with amnesty Sen. McCain voted against cloture on SA 3424, a compromise amnesty proposal by Sens. Hagel (R-NE) and Martinez (R-FL). The purpose of voting against allowing a final vote on this proposal varied from Senator to Senator, with many of them favoring the proposal but not willing to bring it up without a lot of votes on amendments. At the least, those voting against cloture were insisting on a chance for opponents of the bill to make their case with amendments. The Hagel-Martinez proposal would reward illegal aliens with amnesty. S. 2611 includes an amnesty (both immediate and deferred) for 10.2 million illegal aliens (6.7 million illegal alien workers and 3.5 million illegal alien spouses and/children). The cloture motion failed by a vote of 38 to 60.
2005-2006: Cosponsored S. 2075 to reward illegal aliens with amnesty S. 2075 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Dick Durbin) would reward illegal aliens under the age of 21 who have been physically present in the country for five years and are in 7th grade or above with amnesty.

2005-2006: Cosponsored S. 1033 to reward illegal aliens with amnesty Sen. McCain was a cosponsor of S. 1033 to reward virtually all illegal aliens (except those with criminal records or terrorist connections) with amnesty. This could potentially reward 9 million illegal aliens with amnesty. This bill died in the Judiciary Committee.
2005: Voted in favor of amnesty for agricultural workers Sen. McCain voted to invoke cloture, a procedural move requiring 60 votes to limit debate and ensure a vote on the AgJOBS amnesty amendment for up to 3 million illegal aliens, introduced by Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID), to the Iraq supplemental spending bill. The Senate voted 53 to 45 not to invoke cloture, effectively keeping the amnesty off of the final bill.
2005-2006: Cosponsored S. 359 to grant amnesty to illegal aliens Sen. McCain was a cosponsor of S. 359 to encourage more illegal immigration by rewarding certain illegal aliens who work in agriculture with amnesty.
2003-2004: Cosponsored S. 1645 to grant amnesty to illegal aliens Sen. McCain cosponsored S. 1645 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Larry Craig) to encourage more illegal immigration by rewarding certain illegal aliens who work in agriculture with amnesty. This bill died in the Judiciary Committee.

2003-2004: Cosponsored S. 1461 to encourage reward illegal aliens with amnesty Sen. McCain cosponsored S. 1461, to create a legalization process for almost all illegal aliens who will then be eligible for green cards after 6 years. Amnesty has been shown to increase rates of illegal immigration. The bill did not come to a vote.
2000: Voted against an illegal immigration amnesty. Sen. McCain voted against including an amnesty for illegal aliens from Central America in the Senate H-1B bill (S.2045). This not necessarily a vote against the amnesty, but rather a vote against including it in the H-1B legislation. The move to attach the amnesty failed 43-55.
1997: Voted for an amnesty to illegal aliens from Nicaragua and Cuba. Sen. McCain voted for a procedural move that helped allow the Mack Amendment to be included in S.1156 (the District of Columbia Appropriations bill). This amendment granted amnesty to illegal aliens from Nicaragua and Cuba and is expected to add close to one million people to U.S. population. 96 N/A N/A
1990: Voted for a bill that included an amnesty. Sen. McCain supported S.358 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Edward Kennedy), which provided an amnesty for up to 165,000 spouses and minor children of illegal aliens who were granted amnesty in 1986. Ultimately, the 1990 bill passed 81-17.
Who's to know if or how many derailments illegals may have already caused?
Texas train derailment causes evacuations
A train derailment prompted evacuations in Santa Fe, Texas Thursday morning. The mishap, reported around 3:45 a.m. caused police to ask residents in the heavily populated area to evacuate. The train was carrying liquid petroleum gas.
I find it sad but true that obama’s predesesor did not enforce the integrity of our borders either.
Yep, that’s terrorism. Someone needs to post this over at
http://vivirlatino.com/2010/03/02/exposing-the-the-teabaggers.php
my posts are already getting deleted.
Thanks for that. I just copied it into a Word document, reformatted it, and am going to send it to Palin.
It would be interesting to see just where this is taking place. Are the sites near chemical plants, for instance?
TWO ILLEGAL ALIENS, Cruz Mario Carnacion, 37 and Jose Luis Trejo-Yanez were arrested in possession of more than 500 STOLEN 7-inch spike's that were taken from the railroad tracks owned by Norfolk Southern Railroad.This latest incident is similar to arrests of illegal aliens stealing railroad tracks and spikes from railroads near Yuma, AZ, by US Customs and Border Patrol March 11, 2008.
BTW, don't sweat the Gutierrez amnesty bill-----its dead.
Just stealing the railroad spikes not even native born Americans want to steal. But we shouldn’t be so hard on them. After all, no human is illegal and they just came here for a better life. /sarcasm
