REP. JOHN CULBERSON: we can`t permit this to happen again, as it did in 1986.
The border is wide open and unprotected. It`s common sense that you sandbag the levy and stop the flooding before you even talk about what to do with the floodwaters.......when you hear these numbers thrown around, that catch and release has been stopped, people don`t realize,according to the government`s own figures, of the 1.3 million people apprehended in fiscal 2005, 1.1 million of those were Mexicans who are immediately released.
In Texas, if you`re from Mexico and picked up, you`re turned loose back over the river... the first seven times you`re picked up.
In Arizona, you`re back in home the first 15 times that you`re picked up.
... we got testimony under oath that there are about 600,000 aliens loose in this country, fugitives from justice that we don`t know where they are.
42 to 45 percent of the illegal aliens, are on visa overstays....we`re not keeping track of these people. The public does not know that the administration in June of 2004 signed a totalization agreement with Mexico that is right now at the State Department waiting for approval.
If the Senate plan passes, if we legalize illegal aliens under that totalization agreement, every illegal alien from Mexico and their entire extended family will be put on the already overburdened and almost bankrupt American Social Security system.
In June of 2004, the administration, Social Security Administration, signed a totalization agreement with Mexico that is now at the State Department awaiting approval.
If this Congress, if this White House passes this bill legalizing illegals, the totalization agreement, coupled with that legalization, will put every illegal alien from Mexico and their entire extended family anywhere in the world on Social Security.

Glen Beck had him on last night... this is INSANITY!
overburdened and almost bankrupt American Social Security system....This can’t be. I personally heard Harry Reid, Scmuckie Schmoozer and other Dems say there was no emergency, SS was viable until at least the cows home and wondered why we want to rush into fixing SS. Pshaw.
Glenn Beck:
Here`s the terrifying fact that I want you to think about tonight. There are about 12 million illegal immigrants in this country right now. Six hundred thousand of them have been ordered to return home, but didn`t. They`re completely unaccounted for. They`re fugitives, running around America doing God knows what.
Even more surprising is that that number has doubled since 9/11. Do you remember the whole debate about, hey, we`ve got to know who`s in this country?
Also, border arrests are down 30 percent in the past year. Now the government is spinning that as good news. Are you kidding me?

Syracuse Police Searching for Man Accused of Raping 11-Year-Old Girl
Syracuse police say they have enough evidence to charge Benito Martinez with first-degree rape, but they have to find him. The suspect has been missing since the incident happened early Saturday morning.
Police say he was renting a room in a house where other families were living, including the 11-year-old victim. Police say the 11-year-old girl and the suspect did not know each other, aside from the fact they lived under the same roof. Twenty-two-year-old Benito Martinez was renting a room in the house and carpooled to various construction jobs with others also renting there.
Police were called to the home early Saturday morning around 1:45. “He apparently went into the 11-year-old’s room and sexually assaulted her. I don’t know at which point it was interrupted, but it was interrupted by someone who mentioned they would call the cops, and he left the house,” says Lt. Tracy Jensen of the Syracuse Police Department. Martinez has not returned since.
Police say he is in the country illegally. He has been living in Syracuse for the last six months. They are concerned he may try to escape charges in Mexico. Jensen says the family of the victim reported the crime right away and have been helpful to police.
Officers want anyone who recognizes Benito Martinez to call with information that will help them find and arrest him.

Border arrests are down in the past year because of the way the U.S. attorney in West Texas treats BP agents. Why should they risk life and limb to arrest drug smugglers and other illegal vermin when there is a good chance they’ll go to prison for doing their jobs?

Illegal immigrant to plead guilty in fatal DUI case
Deadly wreck after multiple other arrests fueled anger over flaws in system
By SHEILA BURKE
Staff Writer
By pleading guilty as expected today in a Nashville courtroom, Gustavo Reyes Garcia could end the criminal case stemming from charges that his drunken driving killed two people last year.
But the court appearance is unlikely to sate the firestorm of hostility toward illegal immigrants that galvanized after his June 8, 2006, wreck on Old Hickory Boulevard.
Garcia, 29, is charged with driving drunk when his SUV slammed head-on into a sedan driven by a Mt. Juliet couple, killing them both.
After the crash, authorities revealed that Garcia — a citizen of Mexico in the U.S. illegally — had been arrested at least 14 times before, including four times for driving drunk.
The tale of government inefficiency that allowed him to remain in Tennessee after so many contacts with law enforcement fueled public outrage and changed the social landscape for other undocumented immigrants in the Midstate.[snip]

UW Shooter Was Illegal Immigrant
SEATTLE - A man who killed a woman on the University of Washington campus on Monday and then killed himself had lived in the United States illegally for more than 10 years, according to immigration officials.
UWJonathan Rowan, 41, was a British citizen. The woman killed was his ex-girlfriend, 26-year-old Rebecca Griego.
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman says Rowan arrived legally at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport in March 1996 carrying his visa waiver he obtained as a British citizen. That allowed him to stay in the country for 90 days.
After the 90 days expired, Rowan was in the country illegally, but he remained in the United States, staying almost underground.
Rowan worked odd jobs, including buying and selling cars and setting up Web sites. He had aliases and fake passports, and lived in homes that were destined for demolition, so he moved frequently.
A birth certificate with a seal of England shows Rowan was born on March 13, 1966, in the County of Leicester and identifies him as the son of a welder.
Spokeswoman Lorie Dankers says immigration officials got tips several years ago that Rowan was in the U.S. illegally and investigated, but immigration agents couldn’t find him[snip]

25 years for immigrant drunken driver whose last crash killed couple
By Jared Allen, jallen@nashvillecitypaper.com
April 10, 2007
The man whose crimes likely sparked a massive reform in Nashville’s immigration policies pleaded guilty Monday.
In a deal struck early Monday morning, Gustavo Reyes Garcia agreed to plead guilty to the two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide in the deaths of Sean and Donna Wilson on June 8, 2006.
In exchange for his plea, Garcia was sentenced to a total of 25 years in state prison. Each count of aggravated vehicular homicide carried the possibility of 15 – 25 years in prison.
While Garcia had a lengthy history of driving infractions, including drunken driving, it was his status as an illegal immigrant who was never identified and subsequently deported that created an uproar among the Nashville community.

Under existing law, these people can be deported. George W. Bush and his goons say that we can't deport these millions of illegal aliens.
George W. Bush wants to 'reform' our existing laws to create what he calls a 'Temporary Guest Worker Program' that will allow these very same illegal aliens to eventurally become US citizens.
The one question I keep asking and the one that has yet to be answered is, what penalties await those illegal aliens who do not sign up with Bush's program?
Will they be fined? Will they be imprisoned? Will they be deported?
If Bush isn't rounding them up and penalizing them now, what makes anyone think Bush will round them up and penalize them after he gets his 'temporary guest worker program'?
Never mind that there's nothing so permanent as a 'temporary' government program.
Gosh, this makes me want to puke! I have quit looking at the future for myself but, for my children. What opportunities will there be for them and so on. With amnesty, we are dumping an entire group of people that the majority will never be out of the poverty level. Whatever my kids do with their lives, they will be responsible for the care of these people. I don’t care what the MSM says, the statistics and what I see with my own eyes tell me that this is a class of people that will be for generations on public assistance.
EXACTLY!!! I keep asking the same questions and don't see them answered by any plan presented thus far!
Check out this article from the opposition, crying about deporting gangbanger illegals! Get a barf bag....
‘War on gangs’ latest act of class war against Black and Latino youth
Tuesday, April 10, 2007
By: Susie Curtiss
Los Angeles
In a continuation of the racist police attacks on the African American and Latino communities, the so-called war on gangs in Los Angeles has added new weapons to its arsenal.
The Los Angeles Police Department has been conducting sweeps, putting young men in jail and charging them with
lapd
felonies for nonviolent crimes. All of the alleged offenders are “suspected gang members”—code words meaning Black and Latino youth living in low-income areas. The alleged felonies would otherwise be considered misdemeanors if committed by anyone else anywhere else.
Targeting immigrants
According to the L.A. Times, data on suspects also is shared with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency as part of a nationwide effort to deport undocumented immigrants. This is another new, repressive policy.
Undocumented people suspected of being gang members now face quicker deportation after arrest for even the most minor violations, such as loitering or graffiti vandalism. (L.A. Times, April 5)
Los Angeles city and county attorneys now ask about the immigration status of individuals they arrest. This was not done previously. And people whose criminal records show that they are undocumented get turned over to federal authorities immediately.
U.S. justice system is criminal
The so-called war on gangs is a capitalist war against oppressed communities. It continues the legacy of slavery and criminalizes whole sectors of the U.S. working class.
Black and Latino young people are deemed by the capitalists to be fit for exploitation and imprisonment.
Prison is part of the repressive apparatus of the capitalist state. It serves the purpose of social and political control over oppressed, working-class people.
Prisoners lose their individual rights not only while behind bars, but often long after. For example, many states take away the right to vote for anyone convicted of a felony, and most employers require job applicants to state whether or not they have ever been convicted of a crime.
Prison ensures a source of cheap labor for the capitalists. More and more, prisoners are forced to work for pennies an hour for private contractors to produce commodities and services for the “free” capitalist market.
The United States is the world’s foremost example of a nation state that deals with its social, economic and cultural problems by mass incarceration. Prisons are the logical outcome of the country’s foundation on the genocide of Native Americans, the enslavement of Africans and the exploitation of hundreds of millions of workers worldwide.
The new “war on gangs” feeds into this racist machine. Revolutionaries can join with workers and oppressed people to combat the capitalist and all of their repressive, anti-worker tactics.

Let me clarify the congressman's words.
In June, 2004, Bush's appointed SSA administrator, signed in Mexico, a totalization agreement that will allow any Mexican illegal alien to apply for, and receive US Social Security benefits after they've worked (illegally) for only 6 quarters (18 months). US citizens (read: you and I) have to work 40 quarters (10 years) before we're eligible to apply.
In addition, the Mexican illegal alien can apply for, and receive US Social Security benefits for their Mexican (national) wife and Mexican (national) children, even if their wife and children have never stepped foot in the USA --EVER!
So, not only does George W. Bush want to give US Social Security benefits to the 20+ million Mexican illegal aliens already in the USA, he wants to give US Social Security benefits to their family back home in Mexico.
When the GAO reviewed the agreement, they found that the Mexican Social Security system has no internal controls to prevent fraud and corruption. So, there's no telling how many billions of dollars in US Social Security benefits will be sucked down that rathole.
Don't believe me. Listen to the words of one of Mexico's own burro-crats. (North American Union "Conspiracy" Exposed):
A sour note about the prospect of further integration with Mexico was provided at the conference by Alberto Szekely, a career ambassador and advisor to the Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs, who said that the rule of law simply does not exist in Mexico and that corruption permeates governmental institutions. He said reforms under the presidency of Vicente Fox went nowhere and that Mexico is one of the most corrupt countries in the world today.
Ironically, however, he said that the development of a North American legal system might in some way assist in cleaning up the Mexican legal system.
Welcome to George W. Bush's Amexica.
Welcome to George W. Bush’s Amexica.
Thanks, Dan, people need to pay attention to this. Behind all the Anna Nicole and Imus blather, this totalization agreement will get slid through without notice or objections.
Did you all see this posted yesterday?

We are being sold down the river. I know there are people that don’t believe we are headed for a North American Union, but the writing is on the wall, all being done under our noses and when it does happen it will be too late.
We better WTFU before the USA isn’t any more!!
