UNIVISION KICKING SOME LIBERAL JOURNALISM BUTT!

First it was Jorge Ramos asking some tough questions of the powers that be. Namely President Obama and showing the eunuchs of the White House Press Corp and other journalist how journalism is supposed to be done! Now Univision comes back with an expose that many in the liberal mainstream media outlets (I'm talking to you NBC!) did not even touch for over a year because it would be embarrassing for Eric Holder and President Obama. Hats off to Univision for keeping journalism alive and having the cohones to do the investigative journalism into stories that most of the liberal U.S. mainstream media does not want to touch.

Obama forgot something

From today's Washington Post:
"On the heels of more grim unemployment news, President-elect Barack Obama yesterday offered the first glimpse of what would be the largest public works program since President Dwight D. Eisenhower created the federal interstate system in the 1950s.
Obama said the massive government spending program he proposes to lift the country out of economic recession will include a renewed effort to make public buildings energy-efficient, rebuild the nation's highways, renovate aging schools and install computers in classrooms, extend high-speed Internet to underserved areas and modernize hospitals by giving them access to electronic medical records."

Seems Obama forgot about one public works project already underway that would not only provide jobs but, would also help secure the nation as well. Hey Obama how about finishing the border fence!

Once again: Enforcement works!

The Washington Post had a front page story yesterday about how Operation Streamline a Homeland Security enforcement program along the U.S. Mexico border is actually yielding some impressive results. It seems our Federal Government is finally getting the message: ENFORCEMENT WORKS! It is about time! Here are some of the money quotes:

Federal law enforcement agencies have increased criminal prosecutions of immigration violators to record levels, in part by filing minor charges against virtually every person caught illegally crossing some stretches of the U.S.-Mexico border, according to new U.S. data.

Officials say the threat of prison and a criminal record is a powerful deterrent, one that is helping drive down illegal immigration along the nearly 2,000-mile frontier between the United States and Mexico.

In testimony to Congress this spring, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said that Operation Streamline "is a very good program, and we are working to get it expanded across other parts of the border" because "it has a great deterrent effect

Federal officials credit the program and other measures for contributing to a 20 percent drop in apprehensions of illegal immigrants on the U.S.-Mexico border in 2007, to 859,000. That figure is on track to drop an additional 15 percent this year.

In areas where it has been applied -- which total about 500 miles, or one-fourth of the border -- Operation Streamline has slowed border traffic more substantially.

It's worked beautifully. Crime has dropped 76 percent in Del Rio, with the lowest level of illegal crossings they have ever seen," said Rep. John Culberson, a Houston area Republican who has worked with two border-district Democrats to promote the program. "Law enforcement is simple if you just enforce the law rigorously."

I tip my hat to Michael Chertoff and all those involved in enforcing this program along with BIG thank you. I am beginning to feel that our Federal Government is finally starting to do something about illegal immigration and it's a good feeling.

Whose country is this anyway?

George Bush went to Iraq to put on another dog and pony show about the improvements in that country. As usual the corporate media dutifully followed the stunt at at a U.S. airbase but, of course Bush did not go out and meet with the Iraqi people much like he has refused to listen to the American people on issues like illegal immigration. Here is the money quote:

"General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker tell me if the kind of success we are now seeing continues, it will be possible to maintain the same level of security with fewer American forces,"

Meanwhile Mexican President Felipe Calderon is upset because the United States is apparently attempting to enforce it's immigration laws which after years of non enforcement is upsetting people who have broken them. It seems he has a different rules as far as where his countries borders lie. Here is the money quote:

"I have said that Mexico does not stop at the border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico."

To which I say come home President Bush and bring some troops with you. Because there appears to be an invasion happening here in the U.S. and you need to stop it NOW!

Senate Immigration Bill question of the day.

And it's a good question!

Two wrongs don't give you rights!

The New York Times in an editorial yesterday complained about an amendment offered by Senator John Cornyn to the Senate immigration Bill. The editorial probably composed from the Hamptons summer house of some liberal editorial writer at the Times called it a "particularly noxious amendment". What is so onerous about Senator Cronyn's amendment according to the Times. That if an illegal immigrant is found to have crossed our borders illegal and then say used identity theft i.e. stolen or fake Social Security numbers they would not be allowed to get a Z visa and in fact would face deportation. What the limo liberals at the New York Times and the illegal immigrants have to understand is the two wrongs (entering the U.S. illegally and Identity Theft) do not give you rights to get a Z visa.

Send Michael Chertoff, Bush & Congress a White Flag of Surrender

Of all the comments made by those pushing the Kennedy/Bush/McCain amnesty bill those of U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff was the most disgusting and disturbing I have ever heard from an administration official. Chertoff spoke to to the editorial board of USA TODAY and said:

"Chertoff acknowledged there is "a fundamental unfairness" in legislation that permits illegal immigrants to remain in the United States but said trying to force them to leave would be impossible, USA Today reported."

Let me get this straight Mr. Chertoff you as Homeland Security Secretary are saying the United States Government can no longer enforce it's laws within it's own borders? You are admitting that you and the Federal Government have no control over who comes into the United States i.e. there are no borders. Since you have not been able to secure them. And you have no power to enforce the laws of this country when they are broken. Why is there even a Department of Homeland Security? You have surrendered the laws of this country to those who are able to break them.

"We are bowing to reality," Chertoff said."

No, Mr. Chertoff you are admitting the FAILURE of the Federal Government to secure the borders of the United States and that the U.S. government can no longer enforce immigration laws within it's borders. You are surrendering to those who break our laws. The flag that flys from the flagpole outside Homeland Security and the Whitehouse should be a changed from an American flag to a white flag of surrender. Everyone should send Chertoff and Bush as well as any of the Senators who vote for this Senate amnesty bill a white flag because they want to surrender the laws of this country to those who are able to break them. As for me I have chosen to stand and fight!

Chertoff is jerking us!

If you want to see how bad these guys in Washington are jerking us Americans around on the illegal immigration issue you don't need to look any further than Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff statements:

The question is, 'Do you want to solve the problem, or do you want to complain about it?' " said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. "There will be people who want to complain and will miss the problem if they can't complain about it. This is about solving it."

Hey Chertoff! The American people have been complaining about the illegal immigration problem for years. Granting amnesty to the illegals is NOT solving the problem! It was tried in 1986 when there were 3 million illegals now their are 12 million (minimum) and you want to do the same thing again. Enforcement works you just need to do your job not help the pols sweep this problem under the rug as this amnesty bill is attempting to do.

Before those immigrant-rights measures could go into effect, the government must deploy 18,000 new Border Patrol agents and four unmanned aerial vehicles; build 200 miles of vehicle barriers, 370 miles of fencing, and 70 ground-based radar and camera towers; provide funds for the detention of 27,500 illegal immigrants a day; and complete new identification tools to help employers screen out illegal job applicants.
Skeptics say those would take years, but Chertoff stressed yesterday that they could be done in 18 months"

What the F? So Mr. Chertoff you are saying you can secure the border in 18 months! What the F have you been waiting for? You are the head of HOMELAND SECURITY do your job and secure the borders you don't need the scam Senate Amnesty bill to secure the borders just do it.

Right said Fred!

As a life long registered Democrat I've been trying to find a candidate to support for President. So far I've yet to see anyone on the Democratic side who is not pandering to the pro-illegal immigrant groups/lobbyists while they continue to ignore middle class peoples concerns regarding the illegal immigration problem and costs in their communities.
The Republicans on the other hand have several candidates from Ron Paul (a Republican who also voted against the war) to Tom Tancredo who has been a leader against amnesty proposals that reward illegals who have violated our immigration laws.
Now the Washington Post reports that Republican Fred Thompson may enter the fray. I think the Democrats and Republicans like McCain should be very afraid. Thompson seems to be the most centered of the candidates of all the people running Republican or Democrat. An example of Thompson's no nonsense stand on illegal immigration:
"I think its time for a little plain talk to the leaders of Mexico. Something like: hey guys, you’re our friends and neighbors and we love you but it’s time you had a little dose of reality.
A sovereign nation loses that status if it cannot secure its own borders and we are going to do whatever is necessary to do so, although our policies won’t be as harsh as yours are along your southern border. And criticizing the U.S. for alternately doing too much and too little to stop your illegal activities is not going to set too well with Americans of good will who are trying to figure a way out of the mess that your and our open borders policy has already created. "

Right said Fred!

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.

Some more good news on illegal immigration!

Here in Suffolk County 10% of the county prison population were illegal immigrants who have committed crimes beyond their first criminal act which was to enter the country illegally. To incarcerate the illegal immigrants was costing the local taxpayers a lot of money. So the Sheriff DeMarco has embarked on a program to have ICE come and pick up the illegal immigrant criminals up as soon as possible. At least these criminals are no longer costing local taxpayers money for their incarceration. Here are some of the money quotes:

"Since we instituted this program, we almost tripled the amount of illegal aliens we turn over to the feds," - Sheriff DeMarco

""These prisoners, who are not even here legally in the first place, are costing us a fortune in taxpayer dollars," said Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy, who approved funding for the Criminal Alien Program."

However the real solution would be for the Federal Government from George Bush to our local Congressman Tim Bishop to get off their butts and stop hiding behind the illegal immigrant amnesty bandwagon and really enforce our immigration laws and border security.

Tom Tancredo the man who should be President.

I watched a speech given the other day by Tom Tancredo to some people in New Hampshire. While the mainstream media runs after the Clinton, Obama, McCain bandwagons it is candidates like Tancredo who speak honestly for the American people and the country. I'm a registered Democrat but, I have respect a Republican like Tancredo for speaking truthfully as this speech in New Hampshire shows. That's what this country needs. Turn off the cable news channels and watch this speech unvarnished by the mainstream media spin. A little truth and honesty won't hurt you.

An American Injustice!

There were rallies today in support of two U.S. Border agents Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos who are to report to jail this Thursday. I could not attend any of the rallies but I had this sign as I drove from Long Island to Washington D.C.:

It can really turn your stomach to see how our Federal Government can persecute these two Border Patrol Agents who were pursuing a drug dealer who crossed the U.S. border. Meanwhile, President Bush used his pardon powers for:

"Pardons For Drug Dealers, Jail For Border Patrol Agents
President George W. Bush has pardoned 14 criminals, including several drug dealers and a man convicted for bombing a coal mine, but he refused to pardon two U.S. Border Patrol agents sentenced to prison for intercepting an illegal immigrant drug smuggler at the Texas-Mexico border last year. "

HEY PELOSI, REID & BUSH FORGET IRAQ

While all the mainstream media buzz is on the speculation whether George Bush will call for a surge of troops for Baghdad. An incident occurred in the Unites States where National Guard troops where over run by invaders from Mexico. Most of the major national media ignored this story when it happened last Wednesday even though it should have been viewed as a major National Security concern. While idiot politicians like President Bush, John McCain, Ted Kennedy, Flake, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and my congressman Tim Bishop continue to call for amnesty for the illegal immigrants National Guard troops are being over run by drug dealers and paramilitary organizations on our own borders. Who is in control? Certainly not the U.S. Government. When are those in Washington going to get serious about protecting the U.S. borders. It's pretty serious situation when the U.S. government is not in control of it's own borders let alone Baghdad.

Bad economic news is goods news on illegal immigration.

Being an optimist (most of the time) I believe in the saying "When one door closes another opens". That seem to be the case in this story reported by Washington Post reporter Nick Miroff showing how the downturn in the Washington DC area housing market is affecting the illegal immigrant population in regards to jobs. While the down turn in housing construction may seem like bad news the silver lining is the illegal immigrants are finding it harder and harder to get work and some are even returning back to the countries they came from. Here is the money quote:

"On Jan. 20, he is taking his family back to El Salvador, with plans to open an auto repair shop with the money he has saved. "There's no work here anymore," he said, having spent the past month unemployed. "And when there's no work, it's time for Latinos to go back to the countries where they came from."

This is good news. Let's hope the pro illegal immigration pols in Washington like John McCain and Ted Kennedy along with my congressman Tim (give them amnesty) Bishop don't screw up this self deportation movement by the illegal immigrants by doing something stupid like continuing to push for amnesty for the illegal who violated U.S. Immigration law. As the door to self deportation is being opened by the illegals returning back to their native countries it is time for the U.S. to shut the open border doors that allowed them into the U.S. in the first place.
