For months, America has been told by left-wing non-profits like the Alien Criminals Liberation Union (ACLU), La Raza and LULAC, that Alabama's new immigration law H.B. 56, "targets Hispanics" and is "anti-Latino". Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn wisely ignored that rhetoric when she let stand (pending trial) the law's most critical section - having police check immigration status of individuals apprehended in a lawful stop or arrest.

Well, the very first such arrest has now occurred since the Judge's ruling. And - surprise, he is not from Mexico, or any other Latino American nation. He is Mohamed Ali Muflahi, 24, from...Yemen!

That's right, the same lovely nation where we just killed a terror-linked cleric with a drone missile, and the home of the "most dangerous branch" of Al-Qaeda, according to U.S. officials.

Muflahi was arrested for obstructing a government operation during a drug raid in Etowah County. He did not have documentation, and so his immigration status was checked - per the new law. It was determined he was in the U.S. illegally, and was "charged with violation of the immigration law."

We are waiting for the reaction of the usual (hysterical) suspects. But we can't say we are surprised. There has been a big uptick in illegal aliens who are "OTMs" (Other Than Mexicans), and thousands of people from terror-sponsoring nations have been apprehended at our borders in recent years, despite Janet Napolitano not wanting to discuss it.

And of course, 4 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 had overstayed expired student or tourist visas, yet had evaded discovery - despite stops for speeding - because laws like Alabama's were not in effect.

EXCERPT...READ THE REST HERE

Steyn nails Perry there.

Labels his “don’t have a heart” drivel as a “cheap Democrat talking point”.

[Paperdoll]

Don’t ask me. Ask Edwina. I never heard of them.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[HiJinx]

Good tag line material!

How the heck did this Islamic mutant ever get into America? Could he be a visa overstayer? Meaning, he entered on a valid visa and decided to never leave but take up a life of crime?

[Just mythoughts]

HOW did this character reach the US? Through our northern border? Our southern border? Somali pirate ships? Stowaway on a container ship? Surely, he did not ‘fly’ in with all the body padding, prodding and scanning TSA does.

Also, I wonder what the scar on the dude’s forehead is from — looks an awful lot like a pitchfork!

He's the devil's own

2) The veto-proof majority was during Perry’s first days in office. He could have moved Houston 500 miles to the West if he wanted to back then. I have no doubt that if Perry opposed the DREAM ACT it would not have become law. And, if Perry actually opposed it, he would have vetoed. So saying it passed by a veto-proof majority is irrelevant, considering Perry’s actions.

And even if you ignore what was happening in 2001 (which, btw, was when Perry spoke of open borders), Perry came back and strongly defended the legislation in 2007 when Republicans in the legislature were talking about repealing it, and again he defended it strongly in 2011 at the last debate. There is a point at which it's clear that Perry likes the legislation.

“The scars on his head indicate a good likelihood that he has been involved in violence of some sort. It’s the sort of marker that is used in combat environs to identify the enemy. Deport him? Not yet, waterboard first, then deport.”

I don’t like Perry either, but I’ll be happy if he simply retires and becomes a lobbyist.

and give them freebies that taxpayers and locals have to fund...to hell with that!!!

[lormand]

Absolutely! Any illegal here that is muslim, in most cases is a growing festering time bomb waiting to go off.

“”charged with violation of the immigration law.””

Charged but will NOT be prosecuted. 0 will block all such efforts.
