The right kind of immigration raid
Law enforcement and immigrant advocates are working together to make for kinder crackdowns.
April 3, 2008
Before U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement took 144 men and women into custody at Micro Solutions Enterprises in Van Nuys a few weeks ago, the agency sent advance notice to civil rights groups. It put social service agencies on standby in case children whose parents were detained needed help. Once the suspected illegal immigrants were identified, ICE agents asked if they had chronic health conditions, child-care issues or other urgent personal situations. Those who did were released and given an order to appear in court at a later date. Lastly, ICE handed out a list of attorneys who would take cases pro bono.

States think smaller, slower on immigration
By Daniel C. Vock, Stateline.org Staff Writer
The headlong rush of states into immigration policy may be slowing. In legislative sessions this spring, ambitious proposals in state capitols have been watered down, delayed or outright defeated.
State legislators, many frustrated with federal inaction on immigration issues, continue to dive into the debate over whether undocumented immigrants are entitled to driver's licenses, in-state tuition at state universities, public benefits and business licenses.
But this year, their actions have been measured or curtailed by their governors or special interest groups, especially compared to recent years, when state lawmakers presented a flurry of new ideas and passed an unprecedented number of immigration-related laws.
In Indiana, Kentucky and Nebraska, get-tough proposals died in key committees. Ideas on the table included measures to shutter businesses that hired undocumented immigrants, enlist state police in federal immigration enforcement efforts and cut off public benefits to illegal immigrants.

Senate endorses crackdown on illegal immigrants
By Virginia Young
POST-DISPATCH JEFFERSON CITY BUREAU CHIEF
04/02/2008
JEFFERSON CITY - Immigration legislation, a top priority for Gov. Matt Blunt and Republican legislative leaders, moved off dead center Tuesday when the Senate unexpectedly endorsed a wide-ranging crackdown.
The plan would strip business licenses and state contracts from employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers. However, employers could escape penalties if they used a federal database to verify workers' residency.
Illegal immigrants would be ineligible for most state and local services, including grants, loans, welfare, disability, housing and food assistance. They could not get drivers licenses and could be denied bail when jailed.

Illegal immigration problem not fixed
April 3rd, 2008
The illegal immigration problem hasn't been solved. The borders remain open because the administration doesn't want to close them. Open borders go hand in hand with plans for a North American Union. Closing them is inconsistent with "integrating" Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Americans were rightly angered early in 2006 when hundreds of thousands of demonstrators, many obviously here illegally, clogged streets of major cities, waved Mexican flags, demanded favors from government, and trashed the Stars and Stripes

11 Violent Gang Members Locked Away
Trial For 3 More Set For Trial In August
Reported By Dennis Ferrier
out in Nashville.
members of a gang whose motto is "Kill, Rape, Control" have been convicted while three more await trial.
The people were members of the dangerous MS-13 gang, and the people who know gangs best said there is really nothing like them.
"MS-13 works on fear. They're not your typical gang that sells drugs on the street corner or does anything like that. They don't work like that. Their whole thing is fear and taking over an area. And they live daily to fight the enemy, and their enemy was any Hispanic in Nashville," said Gary Kemper of Metro's Gang Suppression Unit.

MS-13 gang member sentenced to 27 years
Staff reports
Another member of the notorious MS-13 gang was given a lengthy sentence to prison in federal court.
In a Monday hearing, U.S. District Judge Todd Campbell sentenced Walter Hernandez, a.k.a. Spanky, to 27 years in prison for his role in a widespread racketeering enterprise with legs in both Nashville and Baltimore.
Hernandez admitted in open court last week to being involved in racketeering in the Nashville area as well as the fatal shooting of a rival Brown Pride gang member in 2006.

Our Government: Aiding And Abetting Illegal Aliens
By: Chris Freind, The Bulletin
04/02/2008
The following is the mission statement of the Philadelphia Prison System: "To provide a secure correctional environment that adequately detains persons accused or convicted of illegal acts; to provide programs, services and supervision in a safe, lawful, clean and humane environment, and to prepare incarcerated persons for re-entry into society."
Unfathomably, the last part of that policy makes no distinction between American citizens and illegal aliens. Both are released back into our society, courtesy of the incompetent United States government.
It's good to be an illegal immigrant in America!
Try following this "logic": an illegal alien gets convicted of a crime, serves his sentence, and is then handed over to the Immigration service. More often than not, instead of being deported, the ILLEGAL alien (the key word being "illegal") is actually released back on the American streets. Why? Because many countries don't want their own convicts repatriated, so they deny or delay the process of deportation. Since the Supreme Court generally limits the detention of these aliens to 180 days, they go free.
Several small points come to mind:
1. Why are any countries dictating to us what we can and can't do with their citizens who are in this country illegally?
2. Since undocumented criminal aliens are rearrested an average of eight times (and we're not talking about stealing a candy bar; most offenses are robbery, assault, murder, drugs and sexual crimes), has it dawned on our political leaders that their inaction places every American in grave danger?
3. Perhaps most ironic, by instituting such a policy, our government is, in fact, committing a crime every time it releases an illegal alien. Aiding and abetting illegals is unquestionably against the law, and by definition, setting them free inside America qualifies as both.
