THE HIGH COST OF CABLE TV, HOLA SUCKERS!

Cablevision the Long Island based cable TV provider has never been my favorite media company. In fact I cancelled my cable last year because they are not really concerned about America. My dissatisfaction started a number of years ago when they dropped the CSPAN channels from their basic line up and put several Spanish language stations in their place. That meant no Book TV or being able to watch the Healthcare debate in Congress but, I could watch all the Spanish language TV novellas I could stand. They were just Hispandering to the rising illegal immigrant population on Long Island while dissing Amercan citizens like me. So I now keep my money in my wallet and find FIOS Internet provides all the information I need and do not miss cable TV at all.


Cablevision it seems has now gone further besides ripping customers off with their monthly bill and catering to Latinos. They have hired outside contractors whose employees have actually burglarized the homes of customers who where having Cablevision installed. Here are the money quotes:

"Officers from the fifth precinct were responding to the call of a burglary in progress when they saw Marvin Escobar, 19, walking out of the home on Haig Avenue at approximately 10:25 a.m. Escobar fled, but was captured a short distance away in the possession of assorted jewelry. Police then noticed a suspicious van in the area as they returned to their cars, The van has magnetic Optimum Cable logos attached to the side and was later pulled over in Medford, where police found the driver and two passengers also in possession of stolen jewelry. Those men were identified as Robert Alcantara, 20; Jose Castro, 19: and Francisco Sanchez, 41; all from Suffolk County. A later investigation found that four men involved in the East Patchogue burglary were also responsible for six other burglaries of homes in the area. Sanchez was also charged with grand larceny in the fourth degree for stealing jewelry while working as a subcontractor for Optimum Cable at a home in Terryville in July."-MSNBC

Where was the supervision by Cablevision? Are any of these Latino's caught in this country here illegally? Chances I'd say are highly probable. Don't bet on finding this out from the politically correct Liberal media outlets. In the meantime if you allow companies like Cablevision or any other company hiring day laborers to do any work on your property you had better be home and keep your eyes open. You might get ripped off for more than you think!

How to read illegal immigration articles in the mainstream media!

Bias in covering the illegal immigration issue prevalent in the mainstream media. Here on Long Island Newsday is notorious in their biased coverage of the issue along with Cablevision's News 12 newschannel. Both of these corporate media outlets have a vested interest in the illegal immigrant population growing as they have interests in Spanish language media. The latest show of bias comes in today's Washington Post in an article written by Sylvia Moreno.

It starts with the headline: "Immigration Raid Leaves Texas Town a Skeleton" making it appear that enforcement of U.S. immigration laws is a bad thing.
It should have have read: "Raids Show Extent of Illegal Immigration Problem in U.S."

There are other signs of how big the problem regarding the influx of illegal immigrants into communities like Cactus Texas that are buried in the article. Like this little tidbit shoved down into paragraph ten:

"Some local officials recently said that 75 percent of the city's estimated 5,000 residents before the raid were illegal immigrants. Aguilar disputes that, saying it was only 15 percent."


If I were a legal resident in Cactus I would be concerned that even 15% of the residents were criminals who violated U.S. law. But, it turns out the Mr. Aguilar who tries to downplay the lower amount of illegal residents in his community is also the Mayor. In fact he was also an illegal immigrant himself at one time. But, thanks to the 1986 amnesty was granted citizenship and now also has a vested interest in keeping the illegal immigrant population in the town high . As this quote in paragraph eight shows:

"These are my people," said Aguilar, 50, who today owns the largest house in Cactus, a nearby 575-acre ranch, a laundromat and the town's only full-fledged grocery store. About half of his 26 rental units are empty now."

You need to read all the way down to paragraph thirteen to see why the raids occurred in the first place:

"But authorities charge that these immigrants had false identity documents, enabling them to get driver's licenses and jobs illegally, victimizing U.S. citizens and fueling the fraudulent document industry. Traffic stops or crime reports became confusing events in Cactus in recent years. Immigrants would offer two names, said former Cactus Police Chief Tim Turley. The had "el verdadero," as they called it -- the true name -- and their work name."

Translation these illegals where not only in the country illegally they also used identity theft to get jobs in the country. These are felony criminals in addition to being illegal immigrants. While people Mayor Aguilar chooses to look the other way and not enforce U.S. law and mainstream media outlets continue to downplay the problem it is up to the law abiding citizens of this country to say enough is enough and make people respect our laws including immigration by enforcing them.
