LITTLE ROCK — The Catholic Diocese of Little Rock announced today it has been awarded a $151,500 grant to provide services to immigrant crime victims across Arkansas.
The U.S. Department of Justice provided the funding to Arkansas under its STOP (Services, Training Officers and Prosecutors) Violence Against Women program, created by the federal Violence Against Women Act of 2005. The state Department of Finance and Administration awarded the two-year grant to the diocese.
The money will be used to create a Crime Victim Services Unit under the diocese’s immigration services program. Two additional employees will be hired to provide education and support to volunteers who work directly with immigrant crime victims, particularly women who are victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking or dating violence.
The unit also will aid law enforcement agencies in dealing with immigrant crime victims and establish other resources for immigrant victims of violent crimes.
“The funds from this grant will be of tremendous assistance in providing the opportunity to further assist our brother and sister immigrants who are the victims of an untold number of crimes which often go unreported,” Bishop Anthony B. Taylor said in a news release.
If it wasn't ILLEGALS they are talking about there would be no reason for a special grant. What about all the victims of crimes committed by ILLEGALS against citizen/taxpayers????Will someone provide a grant so all those citizen/taxpayers could have a fund to replace their car, home, possessions, even jobs (& lives!)lost by criminal ILLEGALS??
SECURE OUR BORDERS
I bet the illegals don’t even get the money - Democrats will get it.
Gawd, that’s a misleading headline. But, I knew before reading the article the money would be going to “immigrants”.
“I bet the illegals don’t even get the money - Democrats will get it.”
It will benefit no one except ‘community organizers’. The DOJ and DHS hand out millions every day for this nonsense...but they can’t afford to finish the fence!
Your tax dollars at work in Ar-Kansas.

Ciudad Juarez – 43 Murders In 72 Hours

There has been a surge of violence in the Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez, with 43 people murdered in and around it in the last three days. About 1,300 people have been murdered in the border city since the start of the year. Most of the killings are believed to be drug related. Earlier this year the government sent thousands of troops to the city in an effort to contain the violence.
The move had appeared to be working; it is not clear what prompted this rise.
Bar attack
A family of three were the latest victims of the rash of killings that is currently taking place in Ciudad Juarez.
A man was driving his wife and their four-year-old son along a highway near the city when their car was sprayed with automatic gunfire. The father and child were killed instantly, the mother is in hospital.
The previous day a popular bar in the centre of town was attacked.
The owner and his wife were shot at close range by gunmen who then opened fire on customers, killing six of them.
A few hours earlier a group of heavily-armed masked men attacked a house outside the city, close to the border with Texas. A further six people were killed.
Mexican prosecutors are offering no explanation for the surge in violence.
