Snip: Federal Authorities have a new strategy to crack down on illegal immigration. They're going straight to the top -- targeting employers. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says employers who hire illegal immigrants can be charged with everything from money laundering, alien harboring, illegal alien employment to wire fraud. "The fact of the matter is we are looking at organizations that promote the harboring and the hiring of illegal, undocumented workers.
We're looking at them in the same way we look at other criminal organizations. This comes after the largest round-up of illegal aliens at a work site, in US history. Yesterday, agents arrested nine executives and rounded up more than a thousand illegal aliens across the country --
Dozens of illegals arrested in Houston - released in hours
Snip: You may have been surprised to see that illegal immigrants were actually rounded up at a Houston business yesterday in an unusual public display of immigration law enforcement. Sadly, the “show” appears to have been just that.
Dozens of illegal immigrants arrested, released in hours While nearly 70 suspected illegals were picked up in the raid, most were simply released about five hours later and told to show up at status hearings.
Why don't Muslim men like German women?
Snip: Muslim gangs stoned “sexy” German females because they were “dressed like bitches,” according to RTL Radio per en.france-echos.com. The report was given this title: Sharia in Seine-Saint-Denis. The young ladies were in Seine-Saint-Denis as exchange students. Sadly, they were not acknowledged for their academic excellence. They were stoned for dressing “a bit too sexy.” If they had veiled themselves and shrouded themselves from head to toe, they would have been acceptable to the esteemed Muslim male morality.
Note the Islamic hypocrisy:
* Muslim males can have several wives whom they cane, beat, swear at, and finally murder if they consider their wives having defamed the clan in any way — imaginable or otherwise.
* Muslim males may also have “ten minute marriages” by which they have sex with a woman and then divorce her within ten minutes; that means that the male remains sexually pure by not having sex with a prostitute.
* Muslim males also have “temporary marriages” by which they have women ready for sex, the females living with their parents but receiving no financial support from the sex masters.
Next up for bid - border security
Snip: Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez, chairman of the Texas Border Sheriff's Coalition, said the money would be better spent hiring thousands of additional border agents.
"There are cameras up that are not even working," he said. "Who responds to the sensors? There is nobody to respond to them."
Snip: On the American front, both major political parties are making a tragic mistake. The Democrats feel that they will have a huge voting block if they can pass a law that will make all illegal Mexicans American citizens fast enough. The Republicans, fearing a backlash from Latinos who are already citizens, seem paralyzed and unable to stop the flood of people across our southern border. Everyone agrees this flood is a problem, but no one seems willing to do much about it. In the process, both parties will suffer the wrath of non-Latino Americans for their inaction. Even Mexicans who abided by the law and came here legally are upset that those who ignored the laws are getting a free pass.
You're welcome Cindy.

"Mexico police storm steel plant, 3 strikers killed"
Apr 20, 2006 — By Monica Medel
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Hundreds of Mexican police stormed a major steel plant on Thursday to force out striking workers in a violent clash that spilled onto the streets and left three workers dead.
Two of the dead were shot and the other was crushed in tussles between steel workers and police with riot gear and shields at the Sicartsa complex, which has been closed for three weeks by workers defending a union boss whom the government accuses of graft.
Dozens more were injured when some 600 police moved in firing tear gas canisters early in the morning at the plant in the western state of Michoacan, officials said.
Both workers and police were hurt, some of them by people in the crowd throwing stones and homemade petrol bombs."

The heads of police commander Mario Nunez Magana and officer Jesus Alberto Ibarra were found at the same site where four drug traffickers died during a shootout with law enforcement. The heads of the two _ who were involved in the Jan. 27 shootout _ were accompanied by sign that warned, "So that you learn to respect."
They were discovered about 3 a.m. in front of the city's Finance Department _ just over a mile from the city's main tourist zone _ next to black plastic bags apparently used to carry them in, said local Attorney General official Rogelio Quevedo Mendoza.
The two bodies were later found in a different part of the city, one wrapped in a blue sheet and the other in a green rug, Quevedo said.
Colleagues said both had been kidnapped by armed men from their homes Wednesday as they were preparing to go to work. But police said they have no information on how or when the men disappeared.
The discovery came just hours after Zeferino Torreblanca, the governor of Guerrero state, where Acapulco is located, announced that he was investing $12 million to acquire heavy-duty weapons, new bulletproof vests, and modernized radios for the police force."

TERRORISM: Al-Zawahiri relative killed, family says (body guard of Osama bin Laden)
AKI ^ | 2006 Apr 20
Posted on 04/20/2006 8:39:16 PM PDT by Wiz
West Bank, 20 April (AKI) - The Palestinian son-in-law of al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed during an American bombing in Afghanistan several days ago, the French news agency AFP reports. Family members of Houssam Abdellatif Abu Bakr opened a mourning house for condolence visits in his home village near Jenin in the West Bank, shortly after news of his death was received. Abu Bakr, 32, was married to Fatima Al Zahra'a, a daughter of Zawahiri, and was father to four children, his relatives told AFP.
According to family, Abu Bakr was also "one of the main bodyguards" of Osama bin Laden. His parents, who have been living in Saudi Arabia since the 1970s, received a phone call on Wednesday "announcing the death of their son in an American bombardment in Afghanistan," said his relatives in Yaabad.

Iraqis Continue 'Dominant Contribution' to Operations, General Says
By Sgt. Sara Wood, USA
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 20, 2006 – Iraqi security forces continue to play an increasingly larger role in the fight against terrorism, with many units taking responsibility for their own areas and making connections with citizens, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad said today.
In a marked improvement over last year's three battalions, the Iraqi army now has two divisions, 16 brigades and 58 battalions that have the lead in counterinsurgency operations in their areas, Army Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, Multinational Force Iraq spokesman, said at a news conference. Also, at least 25 percent of daily company-level and above operations are independent Iraqi security force operations, Lynch said.
"The Iraqi security force continues to make a dominant contribution for operations across Iraq," he said.
Independent operations by Iraqi security forces are successful not only because Iraqis are effective and familiar with the surroundings, but also because Iraqi citizens are willing to work with them and provide intelligence, Lynch said. Iraqi civilians have repeatedly given intelligence to Iraqi security forces that results in effective operations, he said.
"(Iraqi citizens) have indeed reached a point where they are tired of the insurgency, and they realize that they are indeed the target of attacks by the insurgency," he said.
Working together, the coalition and Iraqi security forces have reached a point where almost 50 percent of improvised explosive devices are found and cleared before they detonate, Lynch said. One reason for this success, he said, is that operations have been designed to take sophisticated bomb makers off the battlefield.
In 2005, 115 bomb makers were taken off the battlefield, and since the beginning of 2006, 26 more have been captured, Lynch said. The capture of people with technical expertise results in the production of less-effective IEDs that aren't reliable, he said.
Another factor that has helped reduce attacks in Iraq is the effectiveness of border operations, Lynch said. Foreign fighters conduct most suicide attacks, and the Iraqi security forces have been able to significantly limit the flow of people across Iraq's borders, resulting in a more-than-50-percent reduction in suicide attacks, he said.
Attacks will continue, because insurgents are intent on disrupting the formation of a national unity government, which would mean the death of their cause, Lynch said. Al Qaeda in Iraq is determined to incite sectarian violence, but coalition and Iraqi operations are designed to stop this violence and create an environment in which a government can be formed, he said.
"The absence of an effective national unity government is creating the conditions for the insurgency to do what it wants to do," he said. "The quicker it forms, the quicker we see a reduction in violence. So the Iraqi government does need to form as quickly as possible to reduce this violence."
