A report released today by NCLR (National Council of La Raza)...concludes that the 287(g) program is far from the smart immigration enforcement that our country needs. The program was intended to make America safer...but in effect it provides unchecked authority to local law enforcement, entangles the broader immigrant and Latino communities by leading to the arrest of mostly nonviolent and nonthreatening immigrants, and exacerbates racial and ethnic targeting of Hispanics at the local level. The Impact of Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act on the Latino Community reveals that the program remains in place despite growing evidence that it undermines public safety, lacks accountability, and weakens communication between police and Latinos.
“As this report shows, the 287(g) program provides compelling evidence that current concerns with Arizona SB 1070—which is strongly opposed by the national civil rights community—are based on experiences with similar, poorly conceived and badly implemented enforcement strategies,” said Eric Rodriguez, Vice President of NCLR’s Office of Research, Advocacy, and Legislation. “There has been minimal attention paid to state-level enforcement programs such as 287(g) that are carrying out federal immigration enforcement, often in very ineffective ways.”
Enacted in 1996, the federal law known as section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act has grown to include more than 70 local police jurisdictions that have signed agreements with the federal government to deputize local officials to enforce federal immigration law.
Among the report’s findings are:
Most of the agreements (61%) are in southern states, which have experienced a rapid growth in new immigrant populations. Although the program was enacted in 1996, it was reframed and expanded as an anti-terrorism tool following September 11, 2001. The agreements are often signed in response to a perceived increase in crime, but the signing typically correlates more to an increase in the immigrant population than it does to high or growing crime rates....
Recommendations in the report include:
The 287(g) program should be terminated...Congress and the president must work to overhaul the immigration system...
Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That’s 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001.
Total U.S. troop deaths in Iraq as of last week were reported at 2,863. Total U.S. troop ... deaths in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan during the five years of the Afghan campaign are currently at 289, according to the Department of Defense.
While King reports 12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, he says 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers – for another annual death toll of 4,745. That’s 23,725 since Sept. 11, 2001.
While no one – in or out of government – tracks all U.S. accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year’s 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens.
King also reports eight American children are victims of sexual abuse by illegal aliens every day – a total of 2,920 annually.
Based on a one-year in-depth study, Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute of Atlanta estimates there are about 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States who have had an average of four victims each. She analyzed 1,500 cases from January 1999 through April 2006 that included serial rapes, serial murders, sexual homicides and child molestation committed by illegal immigrants
At the time of the Mexican War, best estimates are that there were about 50,000 Mexican settlers altogether living in what is now California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and parts of Colorado and Utah.
At the end of the Mexican War, under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in exchange for territory the United States paid $20 million to Mexico and assumed up to $3 million in U.S. citizens' claims against Mexico. WE PAID FOR IT. We could have taken it all and not paid them a cent. But we were and are honorable, and they aren't. Mexico, in effect, seized its current very troublesome State of Chiapas from Guatemala without providing any compensation whatsoever at the end of the Mexican War of Independence.

Such violence must not be allowed to be imported into the United States.

BGO at Post #1; La Lydia is absolutely correct.
And in Arizona, tribes like the Chiracahua spent decades fighting off ... Mexicans, long before they fought Americans. So the claim of Mexicans to the border region due to native ties is completely bogus.
A prohibited use........
Hard to believe, but money doled out by Congress has pages and pages of rules and regs that govern the use of the money. And recipients have to fill out reams of forms.
L/E must demand all records filed by La Raza. L/E may be looking at the legal parameters of prosecutable crimes including collusion, making false statements to state/federal officials, obstructing proceedings before state/federal agencies, conspiracy; obstructing and delaying US justice.
Anyone at La Raza involved in criminal activity, illegalities, and improprieties needs to be held accountable. Jail time is mandatory.
La Raza insiders filed thousands of document. Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of deceptive and intentionally ambiguous information contained therein. La Raza may have violated RICO (the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) by generating fraudulent documents to extort taxpayers and steal govt monies.
L/E should place a hold on all La Raza documents. Stealing and conveying (or destroying) official govt records nets 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
L/E should also look at Computer Trespass--a class C felony if access is made with the intent to commit a crime and/or the violation involves a computer or database maintained by a government agency.
Dollars to donuts these parasites colluded to dupe taxpayers-----perhaps claiming one salary for public consumption, then filing falsified papers to get much higher salaries. Examine all perks, expense accounts, unauthorized 6-figure bonuses, pensions, tax-evading annuities, etc, etc, etc.
THE BIGGIE ---- La Raza insiders' tax returns will reveal their actual income compared with Treasury outlays. In particular, examine “interest income” on IRS forms. Insider collusion to dupe taxpayers is actionable. Jailtime is a MUST.
==================================
ACTION The FBI should interrogate La Raza to determine if anything of value was exchanged---money, jobs, campaign contributions, political cover---in exchange for bailout money, and the extent of the collusion to misuse Congressional influence.
POSSIBLE CHARGES: illegal conversions; facilitating govt fraud; official acts prohibited; misuse of Congressional funds; abuse of public office; violating oath of office; misuse of government position; abuse of government power; conflict of interest; influence buying; conspiracy to deceive; misuse of elective office, collusion, conspiracy to collude; falsifying official documents, presenting false instruments for filing.
Official campaign finance records filed with the FEC, and state election commissions, should be scrutinized for possible violations. (a) Determine if names of contributors are legit, (b) whether campaign contributions were disguised. (d) whether they colluded and agreed to give/get something of value, campaign assistance, campaign cash, a govt gratuity, jobs for relatives, etc, in exchange for govt money.

Schemes such as illegal conversions and money laundering to evade the IRS, SEC, FEC and US banking laws may have been utilized.
==================================
Since several felonies have been alleged, it is also possible that other federal offenses have also been committed including but not limited to:
Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud,
18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to the an Agent of the US Govt;
18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts WRT documents required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
Other possible offenses including civil and/or criminal RICO violations.
18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)
18 U.S.C. §1001 (False Statements to Agents of the US Government),
18 U.S.C. §241 (Conspiracy Against Civil Rights).
Full investigations of a RICO conspiracy under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) are warranted because (1) the defendant persons (2) were employed by or associated with an enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the defendant persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a pattern (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the complaints were injured in its business or property by reason of the pattern of racketeering activity.
Thus, a formal RICO investigation is warranted, since violations of Title 18 U.S.C. §241 may have occurred.
Conspiracy Against Constitutional Rights – prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

“For those of the Race (la Raza)- everything; for those not of the Race - nothing.” La Raza’s motto
“Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada”
“La Raza also has offces in Atlanta, Chicago, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Long Beach, New York, Phoenix, San Antonio, Puerto Rico”
We should be protesting in front of all of them! Curious to me was the protest in LA the other day by illegal aliens and their supporters...the officials said they got NO permit.
We would NEVER get away with that....equal justice my burrito!
If "The Race" sent everyone home except the truly indigenous (the "indios") there'd be three people plus hundreds of reporters at their next rally/riot.
("Mexican" is a nationality, mostly an Indian and Spanish amalgam - given the amount of diversity and inter marriage and on this side of the border - we're probably all indigenous by their definition.)
If we were not armed, the U.S. Mexican border would be at I-40 instead of where it currently is.
The best litmus test for the effectiveness of any immigration law is whether or not La Raza opposes it. Anything they oppose is worth keeping.
