Snip: Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says that his deputies have not made one illegal alien arrest in two weeks. The Mexican Consulate is briefing illegal aliens, and providing them with US cash, and intelligence data designed to defeat Sheriff Arpaio's efforts to combat illegal immigration.
Salvadore Enriquez is an illegal alien who arrived in Chandler, Arizona two weeks ago. He has been working steadily from a street corner in Chandler doing day labor jobs.
Enriquez said that in early June he was preparing to cross the US-Mexico border at San Luis, Mexico south of Yuma, when he was stopped by an official from the Mexican Consulate who wanted him to go to a meeting that would show him how to enter the United States, and avoid capture.
Enriquez went to a meeting at a freestanding building in San Luis. There he met Ramon Hererra Cisneros who identified himself as an officer with the Mexican Consulate. Cisneros provided the almost 100 meeting attendees with food, and refreshments.
Cisneros then proceeded to show meeting attendees large maps of the US-Mexico Border, and the Maricopa County desert. For an hour he showed meeting participants where Maricopa County Sheriffs Deputies were making arrests. He provided them with times that the deputies change shifts, and when the Sheriff's office resources were the most vulnerable.
He then provided Enriquez with 10 pages of written instructions on how to get to the Mexican city of Aqua Prieta on the US-Mexican Border with Douglas, Arizona. Cisneros told meeting attendees that they would be safe in the deserts between Douglas, and Queen Creek, Arizona, because Maricopa County Sheriff's had “no authority in these areas.” The written instructions provided Enriquez with information on how to get to Norton's Corner in Queen Creek. Once at Norton's Corner, illegal aliens were given instructions on how to use the free prepaid telephone calling cards provided to them, to call a local shuttle service. The shuttle service would bring them to Chandler, Mesa, or Tempe, Arizona using “safer” streets instead of highways, and freeways.
Mexico now Canada's largest source for refugee claimants
Snip: Over 3,500 Mexicans asked Canada for political asylum last year, for the first time making the NAFTA partner the largest source for refugee claimants.
But Canadian officials didn't buy the claims of persecution and harrassment of 81 per cent of the applicants. There were more approvals for refugees from Colombia and China.
A sample of Immigration and Refugee Board decisions on Mexicans describes claims of domestic abuse, state failure to ensure protection, persecution due to sexual preference, and threats from security forces and organized crime.
No statistics are kept on why claims are accepted or rejected, but many are believed to be simply seeking better working and living conditions.
Due to my limited time and wanting to get the word out to as many as possible I'm posting important info at our group...
