Illegal Immigrants: Who are you?

Not resting from putting Scooter Libby the liar away. U.S Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has turned his legal talents on a nefarious fake ID operation involving illegal immigrants. The Washington Post has the story. Here are some of the money quotes:

"The fake documents, which range from driver's licenses to Social Security cards, could help criminals and even terrorists blend into society, said Elissa Brown, an official with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of Investigations in Chicago."

Not to mention help them receive social services that middle class American taxpayers pay for.

"In Chicago, the operation was run mainly by Mexicans but served a range of nationalities from Polish to Nigerian authorities said."

I guess these illegals are just doing the crimes that Americans won't do.

As usual the pro-illegal activists are once again up in arms when officials like Patrick Fitzgerald and law enforcment authorties do their jobs and actually enforce U.S. law:

"Neighborhood activists said agents used excessive force, accusing authorities of wanting to intimidate the Hispanic community in the lead-up to immigration-reform marches planned for May 1."

Sorry we did not know that enforcing United States laws would upset the illegal immigrants who continue to break U.S. laws everyday. Certainly don't want to upset anymore criminals than we need too!

Illegal Immigration: The cause and effect.

Middle class taxpayers like myself wonder why the illegal immigration problem could have reached such levels in our communities. The problem points to the Federal Government. The recent release of documents by the Justice Department in the firing of the eight U.S. Attorneys shows a smoking gun:

"Guidelines issued by U.S. attorneys in Texas showed that most illegal immigrants crossing into the state had to be arrested at least six times before federal authorities would prosecute them, according to an internal Justice Department memo.
The disclosure provides a rare view of how federal authorities attempt to curb illegal immigration. The memo was released this week in response to a congressional investigation of the dismissals of eight U.S. attorneys."- Washington Post

Gonzales is protecting what?

According to the Washington Post Attorney General Alberto R(aza) Gonzales spoke yesterday and said :

"I'm not going to resign," "I'm going to stay focused on protecting our kids." - 3/22/07

Of course he did not say anything about protecting the U.S. borders. In fact when it comes to protecting the United States the Justice Department under Raza Gonzales has been hurting the U.S. justice not enforcing it.

Whether it is prosecuting U.S. Border Patrol agents Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos. Including ignoring evidence at their trial like having the Department of Homeland Security lie about evidence.
Or prosecuting other law enforcement border agents like Edwards County Deputy Sheriff Guillermo F. Hernandez.
Meanwhile fugitives like Elvira Arellano are hiding in plain site in Chicago and Alberto R(aza) Gonzales does not lift a finger to see that justice is done in that case. So when Gonzales he needs to "protect our kids" someone needs to kick his butt and say NO! You are supposed to protect the United States period and that includes our borders and those bringing to justice people like Ms. Arellano who make a mockery of justice. But, obviously Gonzales is more interested in protecting the illegal immigrants who violate our laws than protecting our borders.

The cloud of smoke behind speedy Gonzales.

I wrote over a week ago that there was a fishy smell coming out of the Department of Justice. Well, by Tuesday everybody was beginning to smell it. Including some Republicans like Senator John Sununu. You knew something was up when George W. Bush's legal water boy and current Attorney General Alberto R(aza) Gonzales was so quick to apologize about the failure of the FBI to follow the procedures of the Patriot Act in spying on American citizens and also admit that "mistakes were made" in the firing of the eight U.S. attorney's but, of course Gonzales was not in the loop. Yeah right! I'm thinking there is much more to this story so Congressional investigators should start digging and Alberto Gonzales should start packing to leave.

What's that fishy smell at the Justice Department

The Bush Administration is trying to defend the firing of seven U.S. attorneys late last year. One of the laughable reasons they gave is because the attorneys did not carry out Bush's policies on certain issues. From the Washington Post:

"The White House approved the firings of seven U.S. attorneys late last year after senior Justice Department officials identified the prosecutors they believed were not doing enough to carry out President Bush's policies on immigration, firearms and other issues, White House and Justice Department officials said yesterday."

Bush's policy on immigration? What a laugh! There is no policy on immigration except to allow millions of illegal immigrants to continue to break the law. Even convicted illegal immigrant fugitives can hide in plain sight for months like Elvira Arellano with no action by the Department of Justice and the Bush administration. Of course the Justice Department under Bush's former legal waterboy Alberto R(aza) Gonzales seems to have plenty of time and resources to railroad U.S. border agents and other law enforcement officers protecting U.S. borders.

The Justice Department received several letters dating to 2005 and signed by more than a dozen California lawmakers, mostly Republicans, raising concerns about then-U.S. Attorney Carol S. Lam's approach to prosecuting immigration cases. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, a Democrat, also wrote Gonzales in June, saying that the "low prosecution rates have a demoralizing effect on the men and women patrolling our nation's borders."

How about the millions of letters emails and phone calls the White House has received by U.S. citizens complaining about illegal immigrantion issues in our communities. Well, the fish rots from the head. As far as the lack of action by the attorneys on the problem on lack of enforcement on illegal immigration. It is the direct result of the lack leadership of the Attorney General Alberto R(aza) Gonzales. If there is anyone who should be fired it is Attorney General Gonzales!
