Until we enact the Federal SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) enforcement only law, this kind of problem will keep raising its ugly head. More enforcement is all it will take, against predatory employers, who now realize that ICE is getting tip from regular AMERICANS? As more and more counties give immigration training to police departments on the Fed's dime. So the chances of being found out, that the businesses is using cheap labor is becoming an everyday occurrence. Of course we certainly need more ICE, US Border Patrol and specialized military equipment to make the immigration sweeps. The SAVE ACT(H.R.4088) will consummate this marriage of ICE and State, County and community illegal immigrant policing.
But Democrats are looking for millions of votes in the future and therefore genuflecting to the Latino caucuses, along with Globalists, business, church and other open border advocates We need strong government laws, instead the organized chaos of individual state laws, because the Democrats refuse to enforce the laws already on the books. More funding! Compared with what taxpayers are spending now, which is well hidden? It will be PENNIES! Rep. Menendez is trying to derail the only 'Iron Gauntlet' law that we have now. Including deconstructing the original border fence. Without extra funding, the SAVE ACT will die and we will be exposed to millions of more illegal entrants, as well as drug smuggler, gun runners, terrorists and third world criminals who prey on US victims.
The E-verify system. If it doesn't become law by November, American citizens will be in competition with millions of more illegal cheap labor for jobs and growing OVERPOPULATION. Go to NUMBERSUSA, CAPSWEB to free fax and demand the Federal SAVE ACT!
Right. Let's militarize the ICE and criminalize and deport millions of people who provide the backbone of labor for this country.
What a load of trash. That sounds like the worst bill ever.
When will the Right learn that "MORE GUNS and MORE JAILS" is never ever ever the answer to anything. It never has been, and never will be.
Brittancus, Is int this the same hate post that you wrote in many other places?? hmmmm wondering if you're the guy receiving welfare and crying foul while the poor migrant works the fields to feed us and their families??.
What will republicans do ?
Check this out why Obama will win, Latinos are not FOLLIES, They will vote Democrats .
"Lie down with dogs and you'll get up with fleas. John McCain has shown his true colors by surrounding himself with lobbyists. They are trying to win this election with McCain so they can serve their clients with their boy in the White House. Whether he will win or not, the very fact that he might has meant huge fees paid to the public relations consultants who have guided many political campaigns – think of Mark Penn directing the Clinton effort – and have virtually taken over the McCain campaign. Oh, sure, the lobbyists say they have taken leaves of absence from their PR business, but if you believe that means anything, you have taken leave of your senses. Check the flow of checks from their clients to their temporarily de-affiliated companies. For instance, clients like the country of Georgia have been plowing huge sums into the corporate coffers of a company, one of whose principals is guiding McCain's bid. Randy Scheunemann's firm has deposited some $800,000 from the Georgian government. Do you think that the fact that Scheunemann has publically separated himself from his firm for the duration of the campaign means a damned thing? Do you think McCain's position on Georgia – "America is behind you" – might in any way have been flavored by the, um, past PR deal? It's just not plausible. It's like saying that some yahoo at a Clinton rally would have the same access to the candidate as someone who bundled $250,000 in contributions for her campaign. Read Rose Brooks’ column in today’s Los Angeles Times for more on the dangerously foolish support Georgia has gotten from McCain and the Bush administration.
McCain’s questionable – that's being generous – relationships are legion. Ralph Reed is holding a fund raiser for the Arizona senator. A renowned fundamentalist bigot, Reed was a close political adviser to Karl Rove who worked to grease the skids between Jack Abramoff and the White House. Reed and the imprisoned lobbyist made considerable efforts to benefit certain Indian tribes over others in the casinos game. Reed claims not to have a role in the McCain campaign, but staging a money collection isn't antithetical their purpose, for goodness sakes, and he has put his name out ostensibly linking himself with McCain’s White House bid. Ironically, it was Reed going to Rove on behalf of Abramoff a few years ago that seems to have blocked a McCain appointment – the wife of a former POW with McCain – to an Interior Department job. Reed said in an email to Abramoff, "Talked to Rove about this and I think I killed it. He's on it. Keep this between us, don't want to raise expectations, but I banged on this one hard."
Where did all the terrorists from Abu Ghraib – not the prisoners but the guards – go when they moved on. Perhaps to the immigration prisons here in our own country. Those hell-holes would underscore Mark Twain’s comment that if you want to see the dregs of society, go down to the country jail and watch the changing of the guard. What’s going on at the federal level, with would be immigrants awaiting processing and/or deportation, makes Guantanamo look like Club Med, according to some accounts. Okay, if it’s not quite that bad, it shouldn’t even be in the ball park; ill treatment crossing the line into torture. In yet another excruciating story of mistreatment of immigrants, The New York Times documents a case that should result in imprisonment of not only those who committed the horrors, but also those who knew about the atrocious behavior, and those who should have but maybe looked away.
Take two: If you wondered where those "just a few bad apples" from Abu Ghraib wound up, maybe they’re not all in the immigrant detention center. Maybe some are in the U.S. Navy. Six sailors who were functioning as camp guards overseeing prisoners in Iraq have been charge with abusing detainees. Among the allegations were that some prisoners were sealed in a cell with pepper spray and others were beaten. The use of pepper spray is banned by international treaty, which is hardly an issue under the current administration. You might also be surprised to know that the U.S. is holding 21,000 prisoners in Iraq.
