Dartez was named in a federal complaint issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and taken to a federal magistrate in Lafayette, who released him on his own recognizance, Skinner said. been filed. Skinner said he could not discuss the case further.

"He insists he is innocent and looks forward to being vindicated if charges are brought," Skinner said.

May many Dims and illegal alien supporters follow this Dim to the slammer. It is long past due that those who harbor illegal aliens should face the rule of law.

"He insists he is innocent and looks forward to being vindicated if charges are brought," Skinner said.

This statement alone tells me that this jerk is in denial. He has been arrested, he will be charged and he is guilty, period.

This is going on all over our country. My son-in-law was fired from his inside carpentry job, making $21.00 an hour. They replaced him with a Mexican that supposedly had papers for $14.00.

He worked for them for 2 1/2 years.

They are fighting his unemployment claim saying he was disrespectful.

Americans putting their own welfare against, I will not say what I think of these people. Scumbags!

Someone please explain to me why the Dems and some Republicans are so determined to make the USA a de facto element of Mexican economic policy.

I just don’t get it. It seems that each day brings yet more proposed legislation to give more of America to illegal immigrants. It makes no sense to me.

I am flummoxed.

He is in Dem Speak, not denial. He doesn't expect anything will come of this because his heart is pure--just helping his fellow man.The downside is he may be right.

Democrats, and some republicans, will do just about anything to guarantee a vote.

This is awful. But are the politicians who support amnesty for illegal aliens and oppose securing the border all that different?

Part of Daddy Bush's "New World Order", followed by Junior Bush's devil's deal with Fox of Mexico and Martin of Canada for the "North American Union" monstrosity. All this without the consent of the American people, whose whole lives will be adversely impacted if we don't fight back.

There's no other explanation for the insanity that has been happening in America. It's my guess that the ones going along with this, from both parties, have been promised reimbursement or high office in the "New" world. They are trying to sell America out, without conscience. WE CANNOT ELECT ANOTHER GLOBALIST!!
