The Department of Homeland Security is useless.

There are parts of Eastern Mass where you would swear you were in Rio,Framingham being one of them,and you can be darned sure they are not all here legally.

Why bother obeying the rules and being a good citizen,it has all become meaningless.

So the Chief of the Donut Eating Surrender Monkeys in Framingham doesn't think illegal aliens are his problem? I suggest we make it his problem. How? By putting pressure on Congress to REQUIRE all police departments to report any illegal aliens they pick up for any reason to immigration AND to prohibit ANY federal funds from going to ANY police department which does not comply.

I agree! I was surprised that they don't already enforce this law. I'm not a Framingham resident, but you can be sure that if my local chief made such a statement, I'd push for him to recant or resign. As a local talk host (Jay Severin) repeatedly asks "Are we doing all that we can do?" RE: terrorism. Apparently, at the local police level, the answer is NO.

"Even when we arrest you, we don't call immigration," said Carl. "We're police officers, not immigration officers."

Pathetic, state has been in the sh#%ter for 15 years.

I often felt exactly the same way when I lived in Mass. The place is corrupt from head to toe, you might feel different if you lived somewhere nicer...the south, midwest, west, northwest.

Suspected Staged Accident Turns Deadly

Accident Was Alleged Insurance Fraud Attempt
POSTED: 6:41 p.m. EDT September 12, 2003
UPDATED: 7:03 p.m. EDT September 12, 2003

LAWRENCE, Mass. -- A car crash allegedly staged for insurance money took a deadly turn, and investigators said the suspect and the victim were working together.

NewsCenter 5's Jorge Quiroga reported that the alleged scheme, a collision designed to look real to collect insurance money, is now a real-life manslaughter case in Lawrence after one of the participants dies.

Lawrence Police Chief John Omero said staged accidents are a thriving business in Lawrence. The city has the highest level of automobile insurance fraud in the state, four times the state's average. Omero calls the accident that took the life of a grandmother a shameless crime.

Police said Hairo Gomez was driving the target car, or car to be hit. Altagracia Arias, 65, was in the back seat of the bullet car, or car intended to hit the target car, police said.

"What was supposed to happen was that the two vehicles were to strike, and the people were to claim injuries. What happened, the individual driving the bullet car continued accelerating and went on to hit a lamppost, resulting in the woman in the car dying," said Omero.

Police said Arias helped stage the accident to scam insurance money for needy relatives in the Dominican Republic.

Police said there were five other passengers between the two vehicles, and the district attorney said he expects additional charges in the case.

"We are looking at everybody in both cars, both the bullet car and the car that was struck," said Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett.

According to police, hours before she was killed, Arias was seen recruiting passengers at a local senior center, offering $200 a seat.

"The staged accidents in Lawrence is an industry. We have a case here where we have a good case, in the sense that it may open the door for us to expand our investigations. So it is a good arrest, and we're very happy that we were able to make this arrest and move on. Hopefully, this case will expand and we will be able to do more with it," said Omero.

Omero said an estimated $80 million worth of fraudulent Lawrence personal injury claims were paid by insurance companies in 2002. Gomez was held on $100,000 cash bail.

"We're police officers, not immigration officers."

The term in some places is a "Sworn Law Enforcemnt Officer." One swears to uphold the laws of the locale, the state, and the country. Apparently the oath of office means nothing when confronted with some border-bounding bastard who somehow fit into the politically correct scheme of things due to skin color, or other factors.

In fact this scumbag himself is an Affirmative Action Clymer. Move on over, PC Moose.

This so called police chief is a scumbag traitor. Metro West is full of Brazilians w/ many of them illegal. Many Brazilians are caught trying to sneak in at the Mexican border.

Brazil is huge lawless chaotic hole, same as Mexico. So the denizens have no problem coming here by hook or by crook. Our laws and immigration laws means zip to them.

I think they know something US citizens don't.

Yet.

The free trade zone we seek would facilitate commerce among nations with a combined GDP exceeding ten trillion dollars, and lift the lives of more than 800 million people. Later this year, the United States and Brazil will assume co-chairmanship of trade negotiations at the hemispheric level. We look forward to the partnership, to the important work ahead, and to the great opportunities in store for all the democracies of this region.

Sounds like something the Simpsons police chief says.

I sure do feel a heck of a lot safer! When are we going to start protecting bona fide US Citizens rather then those who don't even pay your salary through taxes because they're NOT FREAKIN' CITIZENS!!
