One could, I suppose, regard this as one of those unforeseen incremental consequences that happens in the darkest shadows of society. But that doesn't extend to Newark's official status as an illegal-immigrant "sanctuary city." Like Los Angeles, New York and untold others, Newark has formally erased the distinction between U.S. citizens and the armies of the undocumented. This is the active collusion by multiple cities and states in the subversion of U.S. sovereignty. In Newark, N.J., it means an illegal-immigrant child rapist is free to murder on a Saturday night. In Somerville, Mass., it means two deaf girls are raped by MS-13 members. And in Falls Church, Va., it means Saudi Wahhabists figuring out that, if the "sanctuary nation" (in Michelle Malkin's phrases) offers such rich pickings to imported killers and imported gangs, why not to jihadists?
"Tell Me Why They Had To Die"? Hard to answer. But tell me why, no matter how many Jose Carranzas it spawns, the nationwide undocumented-immigration protection program erected by this country's political class remains untouchable and ever-expanding.

In 2008, I will vote only for those candidates who vow to eliminate all ‘sanctuary cities’ —
I have listened to Glenn Beck and others on Ramos and Compean. But Lars Larson has come down on the side of prosecution, and the points he makes seem solid to me. It sounds as though Ramos and Compean engaged in a lot of cover-up activity before admitting that they had shot anyone, which is not consistent with the behavior of men who had engaged in legitimate self-defense. I haven’t made up my mind, but I’d appreciate enlightenment.

How about Prince George's County, among others. Three guesses why the perps went where they did. From July...
This was as true in 1996 as it is today, and they still don't listen.
The House passed this in 1996, did the Senate vote on it?
They will never know what hit them and will be amazed at both the intensity of the anger of the American People, and their potent capability to deliver their voice which so far is being ignored.
This is the only logical outcome.
Something has got to give.
Too bad the leaders never saw this coming. Most of us freepers see it, though. And many abroad as well, who look at America in objective reality and see all the signposts, as we pull away from the abyss, as a nation, from Balkanization and foreign occupation.
Speaking Of Sanctuary, Where’s Ours? ....
american hard working/law abiding/tax paying citizens ~ don’t have any....it is all about the illegals!!!!
I am all for “sanctuary cities”! They should be everywhere.
The only difference would be that those who have “sanctuary” would be THE LEGAL CITIZENS! Sanctuary from the ones who have it now.

A key suspect in the brutal killings of three college students in Newark was arrested early yesterday in Oxon Hill, where authorities found the 24-year-old Nicaraguan man among a group drinking beer and getting tattooed in a filthy apartment furnished with little more than mattresses on the floor. Twenty minutes later, police arrested his 16-year-old half brother in the basement of a Woodbridge townhouse as the intense manhunt in the execution-style killings moved to the Washington immigrant community, authorities said.
BUMP-TO-THE-TOP!
Great post, great thread. Thanks to all contributors.
What is going on between Mexico and Canada that they want a 12 lane hookup, an international love affair?
It's still the law of the land, pard.
“It’s still the law of the land, pard.”
Sorry to hear that you actually believe anyone in the government really cares what the law is.
Tell it Lou Barletta. Joe Arpaio. A sheriff in Butler County, OH, whose name escapes me at the moment. There are some good eggs out there.
Regards,
Our political leadership values illegrants over American citizens. It sees American citizens as mere chumps to be fleeced.
Agreed.
Now this probably comes a complete shock to you Arthur, but there are bad people in this world. They do very bad things that hurt good people. Smuggling drugs across our sovereign border is a bad thing. The people to do this are bad people. They've chosen to live outside the rules of civilized society. Therefor, they deserve no mercy or consideration. To wit, they need to be exterminated from the face of the earth in much the same manner that you would attempt to excise a malignant tumor that was causing the slow, tortuous death of your own body.
I would suggest that an announcement be made that any person attempting to this country illegally henceforth will be shot and killed on sight. All illegals should be deported immediately and any US citizen employing an illegal alien will be immediately face arrest, trial, fines, and imprisonment.
That enough enlightenment for you Art??
Steyn bump.
Multiculturalism is the HIV of western civilization.
Diversity is when you invite your enemy to come live with you.
I will also vote to do the same! eliminate sanctuary cities, I will also suggest we force our elected officials to hold back state aid until they conform. REMEMBER WHEN WE SLEEP THE RATS PLAY!
If this were some sort of alternate universe and the illegal invasion involved a group that consisted of white males, the problem would have already been solved by the lawmakers. And the media would be on board 100%.
Lets hope you are right. This last round with the dead amnesty was a good sign that Americans have had enough and do wake up sometimes.
Nobody other than the globalists want Mexican trucks here. If they come I expect there to be trouble. American truckers need to be one the front line.
BTTT!
“What is going on between Mexico and Canada that they want a 12 lane hookup, an international love affair?”
Exclusive: Goodbye America, Hello North American Union

In a month, August 20 and 21, the leaders of the United States, Canada, and Mexico will sit down together in Montebello, Quebec to discuss making the borders between these three nations disappear. They will discuss progress on a vast highway project passing through America to link Mexico with Canada.
So far, no one has asked the citizens of these three nations whether they want to do this. It is not up for a vote in Congress and, indeed, Congress has no supervision over the gnomes in the U.S. Department of Commerce who are busily “harmonizing” the laws under the auspices of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP).
This, we’re told, is not a treaty so Congress has no constitutional oversight obligation. I guess it’s more like a nice big handshake between the presidents and prime minister of these three nations who, let’s face it, just know better than the rest of us. I mean, do Canadians really think they’re in charge of Canada? Americans should have a say about programs affecting America? Or has anyone asked Mexicans if they want to be part of some “harmonized” configuration not unlike the European Union?
Last time I checked, the European Union lacked a constitution because some of its member states, notably France, had rejected the one that was offered. The Constitutions of the United States, Canada and Mexico are about three sovereign states determining their own regulations and laws. So far, fourteen U.S. States have passed resolutions in their respective and sovereign legislatures directing the federal government to abandon further activities involving SPP.
Part of the opposition is directed at what is generally called the NAFTA Superhighway; an exceptionally wide corridor that would include rail lines, freeways, and pipelines from Mexico to the Canadian border. The Texas legislature passed a law intended to slow down the highway project with a two-year moratorium. The vote in the Texas House was 137-2. The Texas Senate passed it with only four votes in opposition, but the Governor vetoed it in late June, thus opening the door to the seizure of the private property needed for the Trans Texas Corridor (TCC).
Turns out that Texas had already signed a 50-year lease with a private Spanish company named Cintra, one that permits for no competition by way of building new government roads or improving existing ones going in the same direction.
Why are we not surprised to know that SPP was kicked off in 2005 by a meeting in Crawford, Texas of the then-presidents of the three nations hosted by President George W. Bush, a former Governor of Texas?
Bush has been a leading proponent of the “immigration reform” legislation that more than two-thirds of Americans polled say they do not want. Tucked into those “reforms” were provisions to advance SPP. A Teddy Kennedy amendment to S. 1348 asserts that, “It is the sense of the Congress that the United States and Mexico should accelerate the implementation of the Partnership for Prosperity to help generate economic growth and improve the standard of living in Mexico, which will lead to reduced immigration.” Oh, yeah? And here I thought the economic well being of Mexico was the job of the Mexican government.
As this is written, the President and the Congress have the lowest popularity ratings ever. Perhaps it has something to do with a secretive process involving the highest levels of government and a consortium of multinational corporations who are eager for the nation-busting North American Union and the superhighway?
Indeed, “secretive” is the mode of operation for SPP from the beginning. Last year, from September 12 to 14, a gathering sponsored by something called the North American Forum, brought together some very powerful people, but the media was not informed about it, nor has a list of attendees been available. One Canadian commentator has written that, “There is no better indication that these meetings and the SPP itself, constitute a parallel governing structure—unaccountable to any democratic institution or the public.”
This is not the way America, Canada, and presumably, Mexico, is supposed to be governed. The public outcry against the proposed immigration reform bill was enough to kill it in its present form.
In his book, “The Late Great U.S.A.” ($25.95, WND Books), Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., warns that, “There are movements afoot in Mexico, Canada, and the United States, similar to those in Europe that led to the formation of the European Union that, if left unchecked, will erode U.S. sovereignty and lead to a North American Union.”
Perhaps when Congress begins to raise our taxes, authorize a superhighway, and offer yet another amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, the American people may take notice and want to do something about it. By then, however, it will be too late.
That’s what President Bush is counting on. Meanwhile, he has a big calendar counting down the days to January 20, 2008 when he can start cashing in on having sold out the rest of us.
And what will Canada send to Mexico?
12 lanes would make sense to transport a hundred million Mexicans to Canada.

True Americans, but unfortunately, tiny fish in this bowl. We need THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS more like these gentleman to bail the leak in this boat.
If we don’t get a Hunter type leader by 08, the only choice we will have is civil disobedience.
I don’t get it. Why make new laws when the Federal Government refuses to acknowledge those already on the books?
At Christmas we have NORAD to track Santa Claus!

Bump for later.
What happened to the Mark Steyn ping list? I know I was on one...
Indeed. Note the fact that congress regularly disregards the supreme law of the land, the Constitution of the U.S. They, at times, make passing reference to it and then go on to vote on more "programs" that are not allowed by the Constitution. What ever happened to adherence to the enumerated powers GRANTED by the U.S. Constitution? Congress has NO power other than that granted to it by that document, which is ignored it seems.
