Just as people in the US fought for Independence from England, Mexicans started their war for independence from Spain in 1810 and achieved it in 1821.
After independence, the formerly Spanish territories were under Mexican control. Mexico forbid Anglo immigration.
Whites consistently broke Mexican law when they illegally invaded California and the Southwest.
In Texas, the Mexican government had given permission for some whites to emigrate. But thousands more Anglo immigrants, or criminals, arrived illegally.
Prior to 1823, there were less than three thousand white people in Texas. At that time, the Mexican government had given Stephen Austin permission to live there along with a few hundred other Gringos, with the condition that they would become Mexican citizens, they would speak Spanish, and they would pledge allegiance to the Mexican government. But white colonists began to enter the territory illegally and brought their slaves with them. Within a decade, whites outnumbered the Hispanic inhabitants. Gringos were interested in the rich agricultural lands of the Texan territory. These were the illegal aliens of their day, see Patricia Nelson Limerick, The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West. By 1830, whites outnumbered Mexicans 25,000 to 4,000.
In 1835 Sam Houston, who had illegally crossed into Texas, argued against mixing with the Mexicans, “no matter how long we may live among them.†See Houston speech to Soldiers, January 15, 1836, in the Papers of the Texas Revolution, 1835-1836, gen. Ed. John J. Jenkins, 4:30. The Gringos eventually overwhelmed the original inhabitants of the territory and began to impose the English language on them.
According to Mexican Lieutenant Jose Maria Sanchez, the foreign intruders “have taken possession of practically all the eastern part of Texas, in most cases without the permission of the authorities. They immigrate constantly, finding no one to prevent them, and take possession of the sitio (location) that best suits them without either asking leave or going through any formality other than that of building their homes.â€
During the Battle of the Alamo, the defenders were fighting for slavery, which Mexico had abolished in Texas in 1829. After the defeats at the Alamo and Goliad, on April 21, 1836, Sam Houston’s army of less than 800 men defeated Santa Anna's army as it camped out on the San Jacinto River, east of present-day Houston. The next day, Houston's army captured Santa Anna himself and forced him to sign a treaty granting Texas its independence, a treaty that was never ratified by the Mexican government because it was acquired under duress.
Soon after, these Anglo aliens usurped Mexicans’ land. They began to dishonor Mexican land claims. They passed new laws in English, a foreign language for those Mexicans whose border had moved. Often Mexican land was auctioned off for pennies an acre for failure to pay taxes. Mexicans were commonly lynched and whole communities were driven out of Texas towns.
Gringos carried out raids in which they murdered Mexicans and forcibly took their land and stocks. Historian A.B.J. Hammet states that Mexican families were “driven from their homes, their cattle and horse and their lands, by an army of reckless, war-crazy people.†In 1839 over a hundred Mexican families were forced to abandon their houses in the town of Nacogdoches by invading Gringos. The mayor of San Antonio in 1840, Juan Seguin, states in his “Personal Memoirs of John N. Seguinâ€, how Mexicans came to him repeatedly from protection of the invading whites. Eventually, he had to flee to Mexico because of personal threats against him.
Anglo outlaws raided Mexican ranches, killing the inhabitants, burning homes and stores. Mexican livestock was declared public property and the invaders forcefully took Mexicans’ property and their land. Mexicans were driven out of Austin in 1853 and again in 1855. They were expelled from Seguin in 1854, from Matagorda and Colorado Counties in 1856, and from Uvalde in 1857.
Rancher Faustino Morales recalls that how the Gringos “came in and drove the Mexicans out and took over their ranches.†See Frank H. Dugan, “The 1850 Affairs of the Brownsfield Separatistsâ€. Southwestern Historical Quarterly 61,no.2.
Years later, whites would also use the Texas Rangers to officially carry out their deeds. “Texas Rangers, in cooperation with land speculators, came into small Mexican villages in the border country, massacred hundreds of unarmed, peaceful Mexicans villagers and seized their lands. See “The Mexican Question in the Southwest, “ Political Affairs March 1939.
Most of the illegal aliens were land speculators and criminals. William Barret Travis had escaped to Mexican territory after he had killed a man. Jim Bowie was a slave trader who had gone into Texas hoping to make some business; Sam Houston and Davy Crockett had participated in the massacre of the Creeks at Horseshoe Bend.
Abb Emanuel Domenech, a religious missionary in Southern Texas, states in “Missionary Adventures in Texas and Mexico†that “The American of the Texan frontiers are, for the most part, the very scum of society-bankrupts, escaped criminals, old volunteers, who after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, came into a country protected by nothing that could be called a judicial authority, to seek adventure and illicit gains.â€
The Anglo invasion of Mexican territory was not confined to Texas. They arrived in droves and illegally occupied great parts of the Southwest and California.
California Governor Pio Pico warned of how “we find ourselves threatened by hordes of Yankee immigrants who have already begun to flock into our country and whose progress we cannot arrest.â€
By the late 1800’s, Anglos had acquired four fifths of the Mexican land grants. See A History of Multicultural America, by Ronald Takaki. Six years after Texas independence, 1.3 million acres had been seized by 13 anglos. David Montejano, Anglos and Mexicans in the Making of Texas.
Believing in its racist ideology to wipe out other races by killing Indians and stretching to the Pacific Ocean, the United States had previously offered to purchase the Mexican territories of California, New Mexico, and Arizona for $15 milion. Mexico had indignantly refused the offer. Just as George Bush used the pretext of Weapons of Mass Destruction to attack Irak, US President James Polk then instigated war against Mexico in 1846 in hopes of acquiring Mexican territory. Most historians agree that this war was unjustified. Opponents of the war included Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Clay, Mark Twain and Daniel Webster.
One of the most interesting episodes of the Mexican War surrounded the St. Patrick's Battalion. Among the American troops was a contingent of Irish-born soldiers. After the war commenced, 200 of these soldiers concluded that they were fighting on the wrong side. They didn't like the fact that the United States was using its overwhelming might to invade and conquer a much weaker nation. They deserted the American army and began fighting for the Mexican army.
When U.S. Gen. Winfield Scott and his troops reached Mexico City, after invading at Veracruz, they captured the St. Patrick soldiers and hanged 50 of them.
The Mexican War ended with the surrender of Mexico and with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. With this treaty, Mexico lost one-half of its territory.
But this illegal and unjust war cannot be justified, just as I cannot go into your home, put a gun to your head, force you to sell me your house for $5, and then pretend that this transaction was just or legal.
First time I read the description of events that led to the formation of the Republic of Texas, with a Mexican Vice-President, from Yucatan. I went to high school in Texas and never met anyone that knew a fraction of what is posted.
What was worse? That they came into Mexico in illegally great numbers, or that they came to exploit slaves they brought along. Not a pretty chapter in history.
Some day, June 19th will become a Legal Holiday: Emancipation Day in Texas. The state that will deliver the Presidential election to Sen. Obama.
I got a chuckle from the last line when the politically correct (PC) Rep. Gallegly used the phrase criminal illegal immigrants to describe the invaders. Apparently he doesn't have a clue that we don't (knowingly) allow criminals to immigrate into the U.S. Well, except for persons guilty of statutory rape, thanks to the U.S. District Court.

On the legal front there is this case against Tyson and LULAC (a pro-alien invasion Hispanic-only group). The class action suit seeks to recover wages lost by American workers due on the actions of LULAC and Tyson to hire illegal alien invaders to depress wages.
You don't suppose the fact that 1,000 ICE agents were recently allocated solely to customs enforcement had anything to do with it, do you? The sheriffs should have rented a bus, put all the invaders on board, taken them to Wash. D.C., and handcuff them to the White House fence. Then sent the bill to el Presidente Bush. Then el Presidente could have shared his Thanksgiving taco with them. (since he pardoned the turkey)

Mexico is due there just entitlement in addressing California for what it is from day 1. All the get the illegals out of the US and prisons there taking up all the resources. This land speaks volumes of what was here from the begining.All the European immigrants embraced as if there the pioneers of the west."Go back to Mexico", were already here alway's have been alway's will be.By natural rights taken by man made foreign immigrants, with ambition that has wrecked the land ecologically and has caused divide for there racist power struggle in maintaining the face of california to be seen as US red, white and blue. It alway's will be mexico no matter what flag or meaningless display of government presses to the people or believers in denial. The majority of the population in California is hispanic and the uncertainty of California's face going back to what it alway's has been and alway's will be reguardless of manufactured pressed history instilled upon mind's of all age's. Karma is real as this government is on the issue of immigration. Like Christopher Columbus was the discoverer of Americas. Such False teaching's still taught in text book's.Immigration change is needed to kick out all the whites out of California the land is MEXICO and the people want the immigrants out!! California is Mexico and alway's will be just as the rest of the western state's. All the finger pointing at the mexicans, White's stole and took nothing different then today. The people will not stand or back down for what is just . Power to the people from all nations high and low.Barack Obama's is the best left with a mess of the Bush family all the way down the line.Time for the people to be enlightened and be checked and called on there ignorance and hatred of Mexico and it's people that have more rights taken then should be restored rightfully. Internationally United States has more enemies then friends due to the dogma it has projected to the world.
thoms247, I am having trouble understanding you. Can we assume you are a recent arrival from Mexico? And you are upset because all you hear is that all illegal aliens should be deported, including the ones in prison? You seem to be saying that the European immigrants claim to be the pioneers of the West, and that all Mexicans should get out. You also seem to be saying that you claim a natural right to be here. You then seem to say the ambition of the European immigrants destroyed the ecology here and are racially divisive because they say California is politically part of the United States. And do you then say that the land of California belongs to Mexico, it always has, and always will, no matter what is taught in school? And that the majority of the population in California is Hispanic? Because you then state
"Immigration change is needed to kick out all the whites out of California the land is MEXICO and the people want the immigrants out!! and that the law of Karma will make this happen. Then you state the Western states of the United States belongs to Mexico as well. And that the white man stole the land from Mexico in the past, and that whites are still stealing from Mexico. Do you think that Obama will return California to Mexico because he is stopping people from being stupid bigots who hate Mexico? And that Hispanics have more rights than anyone else?
Please let me know if I understand you right.

Lou Dobbs was at UCSD for a debate with Morones over the illegal alien invasion. No word from MSM, but I found a couple of blogs that presented a more even-handed reporting job than the MSM.
If you caught the interview of Lou Dobbs several months back by Leslie Stahl you would have seen how his eyes lit up when he briefly talked about his wife (an Hispanic woman).
The City of San Francisco is well on it's way to becoming a terrorist-supporting environment. They plan to issue city 'ID' cards to anyone with a photo id. If that includes the matricula consular card, then the stupidity has been ratcheted up several notches over there ...
Who said so? Your forfather's , forefather's !! If that's the case then everybody in San Francisco is a immigrant terrrorist with the exception of the mexicans and the indians.Go on ahead and issue yourself one since you are an immigrant speaking as native with man made decreed law. No matter the fact in denying it will alway's be light bringing the truth for all to see what it truly is. That being said self-entitled fool blogging under racist "REAL AMERICA". The people of California know what CALIFORNIA IS LITERALLY no alamo west won this , that and the other can take the fact's that be true come debate or fighting for minority interest in CALIFORNIA.

The U.S. is now engaged in firing tear gas and pepper spray across the southern border in San Diego. Mexican would-be invaders are throwing Molotov cocktails and rocks.
This one is too funny for words. The OC Times presents their 'investigation' of illegal aliens arrested in recent times. Seems plausible enough until you read the comments that follow the article.
An illegal alien invader who had been released from from a California prison and deported, returned and threatened the life of a mother and child in Fresno on Christmas.
It could have been a real tragedy since Sen.(orita) Feinstein's bodyguard was unavailable to protect the mother and child with his weapon. Fortunately a family member DID have a weapon and the story has a happy ending. Not only did the mother and child survive, but major incarceration costs were saved by the expeditious dispatch of the invader.

Note that the cost of the invasion in California would more than pay to keep the parks open. All the Guv' has to do is to have a large portion of the state legislature arrested for sedition to get the ball rolling.

This is a little 'instant karma' from Southern California. The head of a chapter of the racist group MEChA at Palomar College was deported as an illegal alien invader.
Ya know, there is a pile of money targeted to 'Chicano studies' from our tax dollars. But now that there is no racial 'majority' here in California, shouldn't that practice be considered 'discriminatory'?
This is cute. The Feds in bed with Mexico to aid and abet illegal alien invaders in Southern California. I think it's right to make the companies pay wages due (for anyone) for work done, but when you're down in the sewers, you expect to see rats. The illegal aliens should collect their wages, be allowed to plead guilty to breaking U.S. laws, and immediately deported. The companies should be prosecuted out of business. But that's obviously not what the Feds are doing.
Now here's an interesting wrinkle. Once an employer finds a bogus SSN
...Josie Gonzalez, a Pasadena attorney who represents employers in immigration matters, said there are contradictions in employment and labor law. For example, a company that discovers that an employee's Social Security number is false may want to terminate the worker and issue a final check but can't do so with the fake number.
Maybe the Fed needs to 'seize' the money (last paycheck) as a result of an on-going criminal enterprise (RICOH Act) and pass it on to the Company as a finder's fee.
Here's an 'opinion' by the Wall Street Journal about how the Schwartz has thrown in with the Clintons and the Federal Reserve to direct money now going to small businesses (check-cashing and loans) into the mega-big-bux political donor banks WARNING! Have motion sickness meds handy as this will really make your head spin - -
Notice how they lumped the illegal aliens in with real Americans who have no banking? Notice the absence of stricter identification standards that would prevent financial institutions from aiding and abetting illegal aliens? Notice the absence of mention of predator fees charged by banks? Notice the argument promoting government intrusion into your life with its personal tracking system (the banks)? Note the attitude that 'after all, we in the government know how to run your life better than you do'?

Now this could be reallllly disturbing. Remember the train derailment in Compton 3 years ago? The SUV purposely parked on the tracks and doused with gasoline? The L.A. Daily News reported on the long-term effects recently, and one link led to another, etc. So the first link is the Daily News story. The second points to the more sinister aspect of domestic terrorism. But what if the terrorist is an 'illegal immigrant'(sic)? Is he somehow less a terrorist than, say, an al Quada operative?
This article lays out the complications possible from the direction taken by the Schwartz to aid and abet illegal alien invaders by extending banking privileges to them.
It's coming sooner than you think ... Patelco Credit Union already accepts the Consular Matricula card as ID to open an account. So it will be interesting to see if the bank in Arkansas (why, yes, the Huckster Huckabee WAS in charge) will be prosecuted.

Now that the Schwartz has thrown in with the pro-invaders, there was a recent story about the Minutemen in SoCal adopting a piece of the highways to clean near a BP facility. Then the coward reconquista MORONes, who wouldn't face Lou Dobbs in a scheduled debate, protested to CalTrans. CalTrans subsequently reassigned the Minutemen's stretch of highway to a less convenient location.
In a surprising development, the ACLU is supporting the Minutemen's appeal to CalTrans in this article -
Although the author is confused about immigrants and illegal aliens, this article is about a recent raid down south at a printer toner recycling company -
The best part, of course, are the comments that follow. Bear in mind that printer toner can do nasty things to the human body, and it is convenient to have slave labor to minimize workers' complaints about handing hazardous material and lack of medical coverage. So while I laud the company's attempt to lower the exorbitant printer supplies prices, it's too bad they got greedy and chose to use illegal alien invaders to increase profits.
The President of Mexico has accepted an invitation from his Commander-In-Chief, Kalifornia Forces, to speak before the California legislature in the coming week -
Again, the comments are the best part, e.g., the author mentions the $6B in trade with Mexico, but neglects to point out the trade deficit of $2B as one of the commenters did. And that's over and beyond the $1.2B in remittances sent from Kalifornia.
We hear the argument all the time from Hispanic alien-abetting support groups that immigration is a FEDERAL problem, and states don't have a right to enforce border control against illegal alien invaders. So what is Calderdon doing speaking to a STATE legislature without escort of our federal State Department? Exhorting his troops to continue the invasion?
I have been careful not to single out a particular country of origin when speaking about illegal alien invaders. They come from around the world. Here in the Bay Area, a good many of them are from .... India.
It's interesting to note, however, that when pro-invader 'support' groups get into their diatribe of calling patriots, or sovereignists, 'racist' yada yada ..., you never see any Indians listed among their ilk. Or Chinese, for that matter. Or Africans. Makes you wonder who the racist bigots really are, doesn't it?
In Los Angeles, Hispanic Gangs Ethnically Cleansing Black Neighborhoods
By Brenda Walker
If Washington wanted to develop a vibrant underworld of vicious criminal gangs, it couldn't do any better than the immigration system now in place. The permissiveness toward lawbreaking border-crossers combined with the pure numbers of immigrants who cannot possibly be assimilated in such bulk has created a witches' brew of crime-spawning social pathology. The worst creatures are the Hispanic gangsters who kill innocent Americans in order to illustrate aptitude for savagery.
A recent heart-breaking example: the slaughter on March 2 of 17-year-old Jamiel Shaw, Jr. The South Los Angeles high school student was shot dead just a few doors from home by two Latino men who jumped from a car and demanded to know to which gang he belonged. When he didn't answer, they shot him down. His father heard the shots and went outside to see his boy bleeding on the sidewalk. [A youth 'on track' until fatal gunfire, By Paloma Esquivel, Paul Pringle and Francisco Vara-Orta, LA Times, March 4, 2008]
Jamiel had no gang connections. He was apparently just another random victim of Hispanic gangsters killing blacks to drive them out of their corner of Aztlan. The promising football star had received inquiries from Stanford and Rutgers universities about a possible athletic scholarship. His mother, Army Sgt. Anita Shaw, was called home from her second tour of duty in Iraq after the murder of her son.
The family is crushed. Dad Jamiel Sr. said they have "simply lost everything."
No arrests have been made in the case. The family is asking the public for help in bringing the killers to justice.
The murder has some similarities to the barbaric shooting of 14-year-old Cheryl Green in December of 2006. The eighth-grade student is said to have strayed into the territory of the 204th Street Latino gang, known for its anti-black racism; she was certainly killed because of her race and because of America's refusal to enforce immigration law.
Two Hispanic men, both members of the 204th Street gang, were arrested a few months later for Cheryl's murder. One, Ernesto Alcarez, is apparently an illegal alien.
The other gangster, Jonathan Fajardo, is the son of immigrants from Belize. He is also accused in the killing of a witness in connection with the Green shooting. Christopher Ash, 25, died of multiple stab wounds and a slit throat.
The City of the Angels recently experienced a daytime gang battle that brought out the police SWAT team and closed down dozens of blocks for six hours. Several schools were locked down for that time.
Veteran L.A. Police Department officials described the bizarre midday shootings—and the widespread disruption they caused—as highly unusual even in an area known for gang activity. It left the neighborhood littered with shell casings and its residents fearful.
Police blamed the incident on the notorious Avenues gang, which has cast a wide shadow over districts north of downtown L.A. for decades and continues to be active despite several high-profile attempts by authorities to shut it down. [Gang mayhem cripples large area, LA Times, February 22, 2008]
Los Angeles used to be a wonderful American city. Now that it has become Mexican (in the words of former Mayor Hahn), LA is a preview of the future America. It should alarm many more citizens into pro-sovereignty activism.
Gangs are the inevitable blowback from importing millions of excess, unskilled workers from the third world, who end up in bitter competition with one another and home-grown citizens. Normal family dynamics are scrambled by the immigration process. Young children may gain inordinate power compared to elders by their ability to speak English, and the generation gap is magnified to an unhealthy degree. Young people feel culturally estranged from older family members and bond with other kids in similar circumstances. The situation is completely predictable as an environment for gang formation.
Los Angeles is Ground Zero for gangs in the country. The County is home to as many as 1,200 gangs with 80,000 members. The cost could be $2 billion annually for all of their destructive criminal activity. [Who'll stop the gangs?, LA Times, February 27, 2008]
In the city of Los Angeles, a 2005 estimate put Hispanic gang membership as the most numerous at over 23,000, while black gangs amounted to fewer than 16,000.
Apart from strictly gang crime, a report from The Economist detailed how blacks suffer disproportionately in hate crimes in LA. In over 400 such crimes in 2006, blacks in the County were victims 59 percent of the time, while they comprise just nine percent of the population. In 70 percent of the time, the perps were Hispanic. [When black and brown collide, August 2, 2007]
Because of the brutal gang crimes that shock and worry the public, the city government occasionally presents a public relations event or expensive new social program to create the appearance that something is being done. The recent gang conference, which set up a program to exchange a handful of police officers with El Salvador, was one of the former. Sheriff Baca used the occasion to sound concerned.
"Over the last decade, in Los Angeles County, we've lost more than 5,800 people to gang violence in comparison to less than 500 people to natural disasters," [Sheriff] Lee Baca said at the second annual International Chiefs of Police Summit on Transnational Gangs which opened here earlier in the day. [Official: Los Angeles haunted by gang violence, China View, March 4, 2008]
Funny thing—none of the assembled expert police officers suggested that the notoriously criminal-friendly Special Order 40 might be rescinded to fight gang violence more effectively.
LA's own sanctuary law prohibits police from asking about immigration status and removes what would be a very useful tool for officers. In her 2005 Congressional testimony, scholar Heather Mac Donald noted specific instances where Special Order 40 protected criminals and allowed them to commit more crimes.
It doesn't help people outside the area understand what's going on when the local newspaper of record is at times downright secretive in revealing the cultural identity of the perps. (Los Angeles residents don't need a diagram about who does the crimes.) Gleaning the demographic facts about crime from the LA Times can require the considerable detective skills.
For example, a report about the Feb 22 shootout had only one little hint about who the Avenues gang might be.
The Avenues gang has cast a long shadow in these poor, largely Latino sections north of downtown L.A. [Gang mayhem cripples large area]
Even the profoundly corrupt Southern Poverty Law Center states forthrightly that the Avenues gangsters are a bunch of Mexicans.
Although the Avenues gang goes back a half century, it only fell heavily under the control of the Mexican Mafia in the 1980s, eventually becoming fundamentally racist as a result. (Police point out that, ironically, the Avenues now sling dope for the Mexican Mafia, which the gang's leaders in decades past looked down upon as a "black thing.") [L.A. Blackout, SPLC Intelligence Report, Winter 2006]
On the other hand, the LA Times now has an online blog, the Homicide Report, which provides crime notices that clearly state ethnic identities. It is sobering reading.
The violence that makes headlines gets all the attention. But the fear imposed by crime can be pervasive and deadening to the spirit. Consider the loss of freedom required to protect children when gangs rule the neighborhood:
Marie Keith, who is black, moved from South Los Angeles with her three daughters in 2000, believing she'd come to Torrance. One day black children playing on the street began screaming that "the 204s were coming."
Keith watched as gang members drove through, shooting. Black youths dived behind walls.
Since then, Keith's children have not been allowed to play in front of their apartment. When she has to travel more than half a block, she drives. [How a community imploded, LA Times, March 4, 2007, by Sam Quinones]
No American should have to live in such conditions. No citizen child should have to stay indoors to be safe from rampaging foreigners. Living with a reasonable expectation of protection against crime is part of inhabiting a first-world country. We spend a lot of money on police and prisons.
Hispanic gangsters are reconquistas with baggy pants and tattoos. They are ethnically cleansing black citizens out of parts of LA now, but indications are more of the same for the rest of us—first through the Southwest, next in America as a whole. Crime works well as a technique of the low-intensity warfare that is part and parcel of immigration as invasion.
Sounds apocalyptic? The social pathology in Los Angeles proves that we have exceeded the level of immigration we can accommodate.
When Hispanic gang members routinely drive around looking for random black people to kill, then America has far too many immigrants.
Brenda Walker (email her) lives in Northern California and publishes two websites, LimitsToGrowth.org and ImmigrationsHumanCost.org. She admires the poetry of Jesse Jackson, and in that spirit, suggests that immigration should be ended, not mended.
I'm already sick to my stomach with the issue of illegal immivasion, and even more with all gang activity, especially with hispanic gangs and the notorious (P)MS14. I get tired of hearing the excuses coming from cities who say that they are being overwhelmed with the crimes comitted by these putos, but I think its time that cops do a series of sweeps in every community to pick up and arrest suspected gangsters. I know the issue of civil rights and due process will always be screeching out of the mouths of leftist lawyer groups and the unAmerican ACLU, but if something needs to be done, then rules need to be broken for specific purposes, and the full might of SWAT needs to be unleashed on these animals with zero tolerance. Something like this may open a can of worms, but the nation put it on itself and its time to act now, or not at all.
Stand down clown! The unfortunate's are doing the devil's work directly and indirectly by allowing such horrific crime to take place. Then get people like you to attack and back the gestapo system like coward's do when faced with uncertainty of California's future face. So very far from the issue's that be and why such thing's are taking place abroadly throughout the United State's. Patriotic racist fearing for resources being taken by all those rotten hispanic's so you say!! Enough said people will come to the truth naturally as light alway's, overtakes darkness each day on this earth.
This is the news the CCTimes won't print. Our resident Reconquista gubernator is spewing more half-truths about the Mexifornication of this fair state. He stated today that immigration was not the cause of the budget mess we're in (1/2 truth) being $8 billion short. But the media conveniently didn't ask the most obvious question - "Well, how much are illegal aliens costing California in unreimbursed costs?" (hint: the unchecked influx of illegal aliens in the Bay Area has overcome the clean air savings of ABAG II, and ESL takes 1/4 to 1/3 of every childs day in school). But the Schwartz is determined that unchecked population growth and rewarding illegal conduct, aka 'immigration reform', is what is best for us.
Well, here's $2M reasons why our state budget is so far in arrears. One illegal alien got on the Medi-Cal bandwagon and has soaked the taxpayers for the cost of 3 liver transplants, so far, with another waiting in the wings.
C'mon, can't we find some American, somewhere, who could use a free liver transplant? It's time to stop the practice of not asking citizenship status from state-funded patients.
There is no doubt that the invasion from the South has drained our State's coffers and it only will get worse. Those who benefit from this tragedy- School Districts and the Teachers Union who keep their jobs, Employers who can keep prices high and lower their labor costs, the Prison System where 35% of the inmates are illegal aliens, Health Services who can now justify their existence with higher demand for their services - have no incentive to change the way it is. They can hide behind a false pretense of caring about human rights and the glory of mankind, but the truth is that in the short-term they see an economic benefit to having illegal aliens demanding their services. At least Governor Schwarzenegger has taken the hard line in the State and demanded that excessive spending is over - 35% increase in only the last five years. Now that they have revised their deficit estimates we realize that it is much worse than anticipated. Don't be fooled into believing that this does not come from illegal immigration as it continues to drain our scarce resources and there is little hope of a turnaround. If illegals stopped sending kids to school and stopped getting free health care which we all subsidizing then things might be different.
Hmmmmm, if illegal aliens are leaving AZ due to state anti-invasion efforts, where do you suppose they are headed next? HINT: Sen.(orita) Feinstein, (D-CA) is offering an amnesty bill in the Senate as you read this.
The impact on California aside, we have allowed our politicians to cater to illegal activities. This is not specific to either major party. Repbulicans want more illegals because it's cheap labor; Democrats want more illegals because it's easy to scare the uneducated into voting for you.
Like any other laws, if the country generally ignores them, they are meaningless. Think of the posted speed limits. Technically, driving 5 mph over should grant you a fine or worse. However, persons who OBEY the law are generally scorned by the majority of us who regularly break it. So my question is, why have a law we have no intention of enforcing? It's silly. Either elimnate the law or enforce them. Period.
I live in Oregon which, perhaps not surprisingly, also has a significant problem with undocumented and illegal workers. Believe it or not, agriculture is the second most important business in Oregon. During the summer harvesting season, it employs over 80,000 seasonal workers. While estimates vary, most will agree that somewhere between 70%-75% of these workers are illegal.
Like many states, Oregon has adopted some rather stiff laws regarding illegal workers. Which poses some interesting questions:
• Will agribusiness flaut the law and continue to hire illegal workers?
• Will law enforcement enforce the law, and if so, how stringently? Will it focus on finding and tracking down workers, or will it focus on those who hire them (or both)? Will the judicial system enforce the law, and if so, how stringently? Will it focus on both sides equally, or focus on just one?
• Will agribusiness offer higher wages to lure legal workers to pick fields and orchards? Will the consuming public pay higher prices resulting from the higher costs?
• Will agribusiness mechanize wherever possible (perhaps increasing volume while reducing quality)? What factor will increased costs for fuel have on the price of product for sale in the store?
• Will agribusiness fold up and just not produce as much? Will this result in food shortages? If so, how will this contribute to prices and to the rising pressure on food supplies worldwide?
• Will ma and pa start their own truck gardens to supplant (or support) agribusiness. Will small farmers find a market left vacant by agribusiness? Or will "small" farmers also feel the pinch of not having seasonal workers? What is "small", and what role does small farming play in the global food economy?
These racist fools think there entitled to all the land and resources as if there people are GODS chosen people. Stand by a government with criminal and word's illegal in all there doing's. The CIA's job is to promote death and destruction in controlling the masses of people, unwanted people. How the FU@@ you think all the drug's and gun's get into AMERICA as dubbed by it's so called citizen's? You are totally brainwashed into believing this land is your land syndrome. This land is Mexican by all mean's and some honkey tonker's can canvass and pepper the fact all they want. What will continue to be will only continue as nothing changed but the opinions of people that make no impact or change's felt. The devil's work casted upon the scapegoat for self-entitled racist American's to bicker and voice with no effect whatsoever as planned all along. Light bring forth truth and those who believe otherwise shall see come judgement day come death. To be judged accordingly for his/her work's reguardless of race or standing however high of low
This article is a nice trip down nostalgia lane, and ends up showing how easily paradise is lost when liberal forces are not properly balanced with conservative ones.
Note the fresh water issue looming ahead of us. Our actions have put the Sacramento salmon on the endangered species list, where at one time the salmon industry was a 10s of millions dollar industry.
So for all the liberals whose favorite excuse is "What's the harm ...?", no fresh salmon this year from one of the world's premier fisheries. Are the illegal alien invaders really worth it?
That's right, the reconquista Mark De Saulnier has sold out his constituency by voting to accept the California DREAM act today. This provision allows illegal alien invaders and their children to displace California and American citizens from California colleges! AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE!

It is because of globalist liberals like him that Mexifornia has become literally bankrupt.Who in their right mind thinks we can afford him in California politics any longer?

Santa Rosa police investigating apparent murder-suicide
The Associated Press
Article Launched: 06/03/2008 06:40:22 AM PDT
SANTA ROSA, Calif.—Santa Rosa police say the shooting deaths of a 15-year-old girl and a 40-year-old man appear to be a murder-suicide.
A police spokesman says a 13-year-old girl called police Monday saying that her uncle had shot someone and then turned the gun on himself.
When officers arrived at the single-family home they found the 15-year-old and the man dead inside.
Police say the teenage victim was the niece of the man.
Investigators have not released their names, but say no suspects are being sought.
In addition to Monday's deaths, Santa Rosa police are investigating three other homicides since early May.
Maybe it was pulled after the names (Hispanic) were released and people started wondering if Sanctuary City status for Santa Rosa was really such a good idea ...
This article might get your dander up. It's primarily about pro-invasion political agenda taught in Los Angeles Unified School District, and it may well preview things to come in Concord and other nearby sanctuary cities ...
The comments, of course, mostly reflect resistance to the agenda taught at Mexifornia schools, and seems to indicate more and more parents opting for home schooling as a result.
The policy makers for CalTrans (the Schwartz) are showing their anti-immigrant colors and continue stomp on the California Constitution by mis-labeling the Minutemen as anti-immigrant in order to keep the borders open for invasion to support their progrom of Mexifornication.
Here's some PC stupidity on the part of CalTrans in their battle to add their weight to Mexifornication. Their own rules state that a relocation must occur within 10 miles, but their suggested relocation is 50 miles! That in itself is an indication of guilt. (read the comments)
The (presumed) Minutemen were observing the Mexican civil war at the California border over the weekend and noted this new tactic of sending the wounded to U.S. hospitals for us to pay!
Here's an article in the CCTimes about the effects of the 'sanctuary city' policy of Los Angeles. It should come as no surprise to readers here who have checked out the links documenting the trashing of the deserts by MILLIONS of tons of garbage from illegal alien invaders.
That's right, the reconquista invasion-supporting traitorous 'representative' voted for AB 2076 which would deny California government entities the single tool they have to detect illegal alien invaders at the workplace. Althought e-Verify is far from perfect, it is a start for the Feds as a tool to root out illegal aliens. AB2076 prohibits the new Mexifornia from using this tool to free us from the tax-sucking, arrogant, lawless, invading hordes. To see how your representative voted check out -
Tomorrow morning, call 'traitor' Tom Torlakson's office and let them know that you Do NOT support AB 2076, and that you DO NOT want to turn all of California into the cess-pool that Los Angeles has become. AB 2076 prevents California government bodies (cities, police, social services, etc.) from using the Federal e-Verify system to validate employment eligibility by checking against the Social Security database of numbers.
The Jamiel Shaw family filed a disciplinary action against the district attorney who mis-labeled Jamiel as a gang member in order to prove murder. The video raises an interesting question about pending racial tension in Los Angeles.
For those of you racist liberals trying to force your brand of charity upon us by fostering the illegal alien invasion at our expense, here's an article you might understand. It's mostly pictures, taken by a Mexican TV crew. If you were truly politically correct, you would be protesting that we don't have enough African illegal aliens here to extend our charity to. But then, they're even poorer than the Hispanic, Asian, and Indians. I guess even racists like yourselves have to draw the line somewhere ...
What was interesting was the shock displayed by the TV crew at the actions and speech of the day laborers who may have shared the same country of origin as the crew.
Interesting report from the FBI about crime in the U.S. for 2007, and the microcosm of Los Angeles. The most siginificant facts are toward the end, and as always, the comments are great.
It should be interesting to watch to see if an angry white tide can rise up and inundate the Mexifornication in the coming mayoral race down there. And other matters of particle physics.
Here's a chance to state your convictions on the sell-out of American sovereignty by our 'elected representatives'. It is also a chance to show support for the Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean, who were unjustly prosecuted for using their guns to try to stop a drug-runner illegal alien invader. They are being held in solitary while their appeal is pending. They have been separated from their families and small children in the cruelest manner possible - sent to prisons across the country from where there families live.
In this report the California Minutemen in the San Diego area won a legal victory by having their privilege to clean up the highway restored by a court order.
Note the problem was originally caused by Enrique MORONes, who has been exposed as a traitorous reconquista in previous posts. Then look at the stats. The SD Minutemen seem to show positive results in stemming the tide of the invasion. MORONes, on the other hand, just seems to turn out to be another mediocre California whine ...
Things are warming up in Sacramento this summer. Check out this story about the man who drives around Sact'o with his own version of stop the invasion -
The Mexican terrorist who attacked a train in So. California is facing the death sentence by the jury today. Note the absence of mention that he is a Mexican national and was here illegally.
A calm, rational decision might well be to end his crack addiction with a death sentence. And after listening to his life's circumstances, why would anybody in their right mind even consider amnesty not knowing how many more are like him in the 20 - 30M illegal alien invaders?
This article points out why assimilation is so important. One of our state's immigrants who is a truck driver took advantage of California's perverted political correctness and took his commercial drivers license test in Spanish. Then he got a ticket in Alabama for being a non-English speaking driver because he could only converse with the officer at a 3rd grade level.
Now, check out the 'news' that almost 1/2 of students in WEST Contra Costa County drop out of school, and consider how many of those 'dropouts' are not U.S. citizens because their parents are illegal aliens. And consider that the politicians listed below, as well as Obamanation and McAmnesty, all want to promote the invasion by giving them amnesty.
The sanctuary city policy of San Francisco has come home to roost. One of the illegal alien juveniles protected by the city from deportation is now up on charges of 3 counts of murder.
I predict there are a number of attorneys contacting the family of the victims as you read this with the prospect of a civil suit against the city for unlawful death.
Ever since the trial of Ramos and Compean, BP agents convicted of shooting a fleeing alien drug smugger, the smugglers have upped the violence toward agents, knowing all they have to do is turn and run. They know the agents won't shoot at them as they flee, thanks to Johnny ('Satan') Sutton, U.S. Attorney.
In this story, a 'coyote' rammed the BP agents' vehicle in an attempt to maim them. The coyote knew the agents wouldn't shoot into a car filled with illegal alien invaders even to protect themselves.
Racist Hispanic groups denied police their 1st Amendment rights in this story that takes place in Ontario, Mexifornia. Members of the local police officers association, reacting to the recent hit-and-run by an unlicensed illegal alien and a second collision and assault on a police car by a drunken, unlicensed illegal alien, set up checkpoints in an act of community self-defense.
Note that the meeting was held in Spanish and the off-duty officers had to have interpreters to understand the 'speakers'.
BIG BEAR CITY Mountain biker hit by car, injured
A woman riding her mountain bike was hit by a car trying while trying to cross Highway 18 on Monday afternoon, said California Highway Patrol Officer Gary Fernandez.

BANNING Device not a bomb, sheriff's team decides
A resident of an apartment complex found what looked like a small bomb Friday night.
Around 10:30 p.m., a resident of the Windscape Village Apartments at 380 W. Barbour St. called police to report a suspicious container, according to a Police Department news release.
Officers called in fire officials, a hazardous-materials team and the Riverside County sheriff's hazardous-device team.
They first thought the container, which looked like a bottle, was a type of bomb and detonated it.
It turned out the bottle was not a bomb or a destructive device, but it was apparently created to make a bang.
COLTON Collision plugs road, hurts 2 motorists
Both sides of Reche Canyon Road were shut down for hours early Monday because of a two-car crash, bringing miles of traffic to a halt from Moreno Valley to San Bernardino County.
The crash was reported at 5:25 a.m. in the 7900 block of Reche Canyon Road. The California Highway Patrol received reports of a person trapped in one of the vehicles. The crash resulted in major injuries, and two people were taken to hospitals. The road was cleared by 8 a.m.
BANNING Undercover officer surprises four `johns'
Authorities on a prostitution sting Friday made four arrests.
The operation targeted men seeking prostitutes.
An undercover female police officer was approached by four men in the 1300 block of West Ramsey Street, authorities said. Each suspect ``inquired of sexual favors from the officer and told her what they would pay for those services,'' they said.
Dennis Dwain Baker, 35, of Banning; Cesar Diego Nunez- Perez, of Banning, 33; Joe Moreno, 42, of Indio; and John Anthony Mugler, 26, of Banning were later booked into the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning and released on a notice to appear citation.
POMONA Officer, dog hurt in car crash
A suspected drunken driver slammed into a police car Sunday, injuring an officer and his police dog, officials said.
Guadalupe Perez, 54, of Pomona was driving without a license and ran a stop sign at Monterey Avenue and Rebecca Street at 2:52 p.m., investigators said. He crashed into the Pomona squad car, causing the police vehicle to strike a 2007 Nissan Titan.
Two people in the Titan complained of pain but declined to be taken to a hospital. Perez tried to run, but officers arrived and captured him.
He received minor injuries in the crash. After being taken to a hospital, he was booked into jail on suspicion of causing injuries in a felony hit-and-run crash and driving while under the influence of alcohol. Police held Perez with bail set at $100,000.
Paramedics took the officer to a hospital, where he was treated and released. His right arm was bruised and he suffered neck, back and shoulder pain, police said. The police dog, Buddy, was taken to a veterinary hospital.
SAN BERNARDINO Pair of killers get 50 to life, 25 to life
Two men were sentenced Monday to state prison after being convicted of killing 43-year-old Barry Joseph Knight during a robbery gone bad.
Ariel Lee Bolton and Davion Montae Keel were sentenced in San Bernardino Superior Court.
Bolton, 21, was sentenced to 50 years to life in state prison. Keel received a sentence of 25 years to life, prosecutors said.
A jury found both men guilty of murder July 21.
Keel, 18, apologized to the victim's family. His co-defendant made no statement.
Knight, of San Bernardino, was found shot multiple times about 5 a.m. on July 31, 2005, in front of the Hampton Inn, in the 600 block of West Fifth Street, police said.
SAN BERNARDINO Deal means prison for killer of teen
One of four men involved in the gang-related shooting death of 17-year-old Jose Orozco in Highland was sentenced Monday to more than two decades in state prison.
Jonas Cortez Vargas was sentenced to 23 years in state prison under the terms of a plea bargain with prosecutors.
In January, Vargas pleaded guilty to one count of voluntary manslaughter and two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter. He was required to testify as part of his plea bargain.
Vargas, 19, and two other men, Jaime Alfonso Matos, 24, and 18-year-old Richard Salazar, confronted the victim and two of his friends as they walked near 14th and Vine streets on Feb. 9, 2006, according to prosecutors.
It began as a robbery, but a handgun was fired, and Orozco fell to the street.
Matos was sentenced to 90 years to life in state prison for two separate shootings, and Salazar was sentenced to 21 years in state prison.
FONTANA Deputies seek witness to fatal stabbing
San Bernardino County sheriff's investigators are seeking the public's assistance in finding the people who stabbed a man to death Friday.
On Friday about 8:58 p.m., deputies were called to the 14600 block of Valley Boulevard where they found Hector Mendoza, 29, of Fontana lying in a dirt field behind a liquor store.
Mendoza was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators say Mendoza was drinking with a group of people behind the store before a fight erupted. Initial investigation revealed that he had been stabbed twice or more.
Detectives want to talk to anybody who was with Mendoza when he was stabbed or anyone who knows who he was with that night.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Scott Landen or Sgt. Frank Bell at (909) 387-3589.
RIALTO Veteran police officer dies of brain cancer
Police Cpl. Kurt Kitterle died Friday of brain cancer.
He was 50.
The veteran officer grew up in Claremont and joined the Army in 1976, where he was a military police officer.
In 1980, Kitterle went to work as a deputy with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
In 1989, he joined the Rialto Police Department, where he worked in patrol, narcotics, on the Street Crime Attack Team, the SWAT team and as a detective.
Kitterle is survived by his wife, Rita; his mother, Joyce; his father, August; two sisters; two sons, Kyle and Chad; and two grandchildren.
Services will be held at Calvary Chapel Church at 1391 W. Merrill Ave. in Rialto on Thursday at 10 a.m. Flowers can be sent to the church or a donation can be made in Kitterle's name to the City of Hope's brain cancer research efforts. Call Akweta Colbert at (626) 301-7280 to contribute to Mike Chen's general brain tumor program.
Kitterle had just helped solve a 2007 homicide after working 40 straight hours and was interviewing the suspect when he felt ill. He was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center for surgery to remove a brain tumor.
REDLANDS Police seeking road-rage attacker
Police are looking for help finding a suspect involved in an assault last month.
At about 12:30 p.m. July 18, the driver of a black Toyota started yelling at a 16-year-old boy merging onto the 10 Freeway from the 215 Freeway, according to a department news release.
The man followed the teen off the freeway at University Street and caught up to him at a red light at Church Street and Citrus Avenue.
The driver got out of his car and walked up to the teen's car with a metal pipe. Then he punched the boy through an open window, knocked him unconscious and drove away.
The attacker was a Latino man in his mid-20s. He was 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighed 140 pounds and had a buzzed head. He was wearing a white tank top and blue shorts.
Anyone with information should call Detective Aneta Deutscher at (909) 798-7688 or dispatch at (909) 798-7681.
In a parting shot from the lame-duck DeSaulnier, he voted to give illegal alien invaders California drivers' licenses last week 'to make us safer' (SB 60).
Let's see - we're paying so much to aid and abet illegal alien invaders that we can't keep the roads properly maintained. And that's news? So let's do the smart thing ... oops, too late, our 'representatives' in Sacto just approved drivers' licenses for illegal aliens, so it back to the Schwartz to do the right thing and veto the legislation. Stupid is as stupid does.
As always, check the comments. What I like is the misinformation and misdirection of the ACLU's argument that police cannot enforce Federal immigration laws. First off, they can, but the funds to train police to deal with immigrants are exhausted for this year. Secondly, the California Constitution gives police powers to stop invasions. As illegal aliens are not immigrants, but rather squatters, the ACLU argument is yet another pipe dream. You know, all smoke and mirrors ....
SAN BERNARDINO — The immigration screening operation at West Valley Detention Center has marked nearly as many criminal aliens for deportation during the first quarter of 2007 as the federal program did in all of 2005, according to officials. The change of allowing local agencies to do their own immigration screening instead of waiting for a Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent has paid off, according to San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Sheriff Gary Penrod.
In 2005, ICE officials placed a total of 525 people on detainers for deportation. In 2007, Sheriff’s Custody Specialists were able to place 507 on the same detainers in only the first quarter of the year, officials said. “The difference is that we are here all of the time and ICE agents would come to the jail about once a week,” said Custody Specialist Mary Ostrander.
When a person is arrested and taken to West Valley Detention Center, along with the standard booking process, they will see a custody specialist who will determine if the person should be interviewed to see if they qualify for the deportation process. The custody specialists run the person's name and social security number or alien number through several databases to determine whether the person is in the country legally or illegally, according to officials.
Officials will even take a look at the criminal record of a person who is a legal resident to determine if they are deportable because of their criminal activity, said Ostrander. Some of the deportable offenses for lawful residents include child abuse, deviant and violent crimes and drug convictions.
Once that has been established, they are placed on detainer for deportation. After the criminal aliens complete their sentence in the United States, they will then be deported, she said. All of this information will be placed into an Alien File. “I don't know why we have to spend our tax dollars to house these people,” said Charles Oakley of Victorville. “They should be deported immediately.”
While Ostrander realizes that this may not be a perfect system, the amount of people who are being identified and placed on detainers is a very positive thing. In November 2005, nine sheriff's officials were chosen to go through a training program to become custody specialists. They began screening in 2006.
During the first year of screening, officials interviewed 2,808 individuals. Of those 1,759 were placed on detainers, according to sheriff’s officials.

In 2003, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Department of Homeland Security determined that 55,322 aliens who entered the country illegally were still in the country illegally at the time of their incarceration in federal or state prison or local jail. Nearly all had more than one arrest.
Eighty percent of all arrests occurred in three states, with about 58 percent in California, 14 percent in Texas and 8 percent in Arizona.

Note that the funds to train the specialist officers to look at the databases are exhausted for this year.
Illegal aliens depleted the smog savings of ABAG II months ago, it was reported, and now comes this article, but without the connection to increased illegal alien population due to the number of sanctuary cities in the Bay Area.
It's never a dull moment when you live near a sanctuary city. Over in S.F., two supervisors are upset and making wild accusations at a recent arrest by ICE of illegal alien invaders.
You knew this was gonna happen. They don't call San Francisco a sanctuary city for nothing. Next time you're visiting there be careful you don't run across any of the 372 illegal alien felons that weren't reported to ICE by S.F.
Just when the invading forces are cheering the passage of drivers licenses for illegal aliens in California (or anywhere else for that matter?) and an extension to the California Dream Act which gives taxpayers money to illegal alien invaders, the State Court of Appeal reversed the decision granting illegal aliens in-state tuition rates.
Did you note the lack of protest from the Hispandering pro-invasion groups from the local busts that are taking place in Sonoma and Vacaville? Despite their rhetoric to the contrary, these racist groups didn't issue a peep when it was predominantly Asians who were the subjects of the sweeps!
By Earth, Land, or Sea ... Illegals Try End Around in San Diego. There have been more frequent reports of boatloads of illegal aliens landing on San Diego beaches recently.
this past week. So as much as I might deride his budget decisions, today I'm glad he's here to watch out for the rest of us Americans living in Mexifornia.
A solution to the trash problem might be to enlist the aid of members of medical pot dispensaries to clean up the area in exchange for the remaining weed.
To the long list of things California doesn't need right now, let's add the transformation of an efficient government program into a money waster. The blame if this happens won't belong with the Legislature or the governor, or anyone in Sacramento, but about 3,000 miles east.
As Times staff writer Jordan Rau reported Friday, the Bush administration is demanding that the state change the way it counts illegal immigrants who seek medical and education services through California's Family Planning, Access, Care and Treatment Program. By helping impoverished women avoid unwanted pregnancies, Family PACT has helped reduce abortion rates in the state and saves California and the federal government $1.4 billion in publicly funded maternity care, welfare and schools.
The federal government pays for part of the program -- but not for services to illegal immigrants. The state picks up that cost. Up to now, the state has used a statistical formula to calculate the number of illegal immigrants who use Family PACT. Suddenly, the Bush administration is giving the state 30 days to switch to a system in which each client would be individually vetted for legal residency, a ridiculously inefficient arrangement that would increase the state's costs by an estimated 40%.
But the administration's demand isn't just wasteful; it's duplicitous. Immigration is a responsibility of the federal government, not the state. In fact, the feds should be stepping up to pay the full costs for illegal immigrants. The presence of immigrants in California who lack the legal status to use many public services represents a dual failure on the part of the federal government: It has neither prevented illegal immigration nor enacted comprehensive immigration reform to resolve the conundrum within its borders.
Instead, California, which has no authority to change the situation, picks up the costs and is being called on to do the work of federal immigration agents as well, while the feds are held to no accountability for their own failures. Ordinarily, we'd say this dispute could be resolved amicably with an audit every five or 10 years to confirm whether the state's statistical formula is accurate. But the administration's demand is extortionate. True, the federal government shouldn't be picking up part of the tab for 86% of the women aided by this valuable program. It should be helping to pay for all of them.
I love the twisted logic of the author. For example, by reducing abortion rates, we end up paying waaaayyyyy more money for 'a-n-c-h-o-r b-a-b-i-e-s' and their parents who are allowed to stay here, in opposition to Federal laws that say we should deport the illegal alien parents. And whining because the Federal mandate not to ask citizenship status has been reversed is childish nonsense. PACT can make better use of its limited resources by culling the illegal alien recipients, and when it gets known that citizenship is required to be shown to participate in the program, the illegal aliens will quickly stop making their demands, and the number of vets should drop quickly. Just using eVerify will get most of them! And if I read the numbers correctly in the article 86% of the participants are illegal aliens!
Here's a sob story from the Freno Bee about a couple where one partner is an illegal alien who married an American citizen who subsequently fell ill. Once you get past the emotional pathos of the situation, consider the costs to keep this couple together.
As a farm worker, the husband doesn't have adequate insurance to pay for his medical care. The cost of his care is reduced by the presence of his illegal alien wife, who is not working because she cares for him 24 / 7. The cost of a rest home is about $33k annually. The cost of the couple as is might be Sect 8 housing - $12k; food stamps - $9k. The $33k migh be reduced by other taxpayer-supplied funds so they're not listed. We can assume he did not renounce his Mexican citizenship as he moved back there before, so the cost to U.S. taxpayers could be a one-way trip ticket to Mexico by a medi-vac. Now how much do you suppose he paid in taxes while he worked here as a farm tractor driver? And the paper notes he is a citizen, but is he a naturalized citizen or merely a permanent resident (Green Card)?
The 'sanctuary city' of SF was audited by the Feds and have to return over $5m for funds that were misappropriated. The funds came from a grant to offset the cost of illegal aliens in the courts. But since no one is illegal in the City they used the funds for something else and got their hands caught in the cookie jar, again.
This is really screwy. Federal immigration laws grant a 'juvenile residency' for kids of undetermined citizenship. Sometimes these kids get adopted, then find out that when they become adults they are no longer welcome in the U.S. and have to leave. States don't do an adequate check on the citizenship status before offering the kids for adoption because they are pre-empted by Federal law.
A State Appellate Court reversed a local Superior Court decision that dismissed a lawsuit against the City to end its sanctuary policies for illegal alien invaders. Note that it applies to drug busts, but not to things like pedophilia, thefts, gang membership, home invasion, or murder.
Here's a case in point for allowing local and state law enforcement to enforce immigration laws in California. Paying $300,000 of our state tax monies to keep 1 illegal alien invader alive here is just obscene.
Dialysis dilemma: Who gets free care?
Mark Boster / Los Angeles Times
Kidney dialysis is a case in point: Some states won’t treat illegal immigrants, but California and a few others believe not treating them is far more costly.
Roughly 2,000 times over the last 17 years, Marguerita Toribio, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, has climbed into a cushioned recliner for the three-hour dialysis treatment that keeps her alive.
She has never seen a bill.
U.S. taxpayers have covered the entire cost of her treatment in California: more than $500,000 and rising, not including a kidney transplant in 1993.
The kidney failed when Toribio briefly moved to North Carolina, which refused to pay for her anti-rejection drugs. She needed to go back on dialysis three days a week to clear toxins from her blood, but North Carolina didn’t cover that either.
The best a social worker could offer was a prepaid plane ticket back to California.
“When I came back here, I said, ‘There is no way I’m leaving for another state again,’ ” said Toribio, now 29, before a technician poked two needles into her arm at the St. Joseph Hospital dialysis center in Orange.
Health services and other benefits available to illegal immigrants can vary by the state. Welfare, prenatal care or in-state college tuition might be available in one place and inaccessible across a state line.
The disparities reflect the nation’s conflicting attitudes toward its estimated 12 million illegal immigrants. With limited federal guidance, states often are left to make their own decisions, frequently shaped by political winds.
Dialysis offers a striking example of the dilemmas – and the occasional absurdities – that result.
The number of patients is not large. In California, illegal immigrants account for about 1,350 of the 61,000 people on dialysis. Their treatment cost taxpayers $51 million last year.
But dialysis stands out because it is often a lifetime commitment. The investment in a single patient over time can easily top $1 million.
Many states draw the line at illegal immigrants. But officials in California, New York and a few other states figure that not treating patients whose kidneys are failing costs more.
That is because patients without regular dialysis frequently end up in emergency rooms, on the brink of death. At that point, federal law requires that they receive dialysis until they are stable enough to be released – usually only to deteriorate again within weeks and return to the ER.
It’s like “rescuing a person from drowning, giving someone a good meal and then pushing them over the side,” said Dr. Laurence Lewin, a kidney specialist in Orange County.
Repeated rescuing not only threatens patients’ long-term health, it generally costs more than routine care, some experts argue. In Texas, where illegal immigrants generally can’t get routine care, some have cycled through the emergency room at El Paso’s Thomason Hospital more than 100 times for life-saving dialysis, said kidney specialist Dr. Azikiwe Nwosu.
Such patients are at increased risk of heart attacks and infections.
“Its heartbreaking,” said Dr. Claudia Zacharek, a kidney specialist who until recently worked in Galveston, Texas. “Your hands are tied.”
In grappling with what services to provide for illegal immigrants, some states tip toward the need to care for the sick. Others see free healthcare as a de facto endorsement of their presence.
Congress tried to establish a balance. In 1986, it barred illegal immigrants from the federal health benefits generally available to the poor, with one notable exception: emergencies. The federal government agreed to share the cost of caring for poor illegal immigrants through state-run Emergency Medicaid programs.
The problem is that the federal definition of an emergency is open to interpretation: an acute condition that, without immediate care, would seriously jeopardize a patient’s health or impair bodily functions, parts or organs.
When does an emergency start? When does it end?
Debates have flared over chemotherapy, life-support and dialysis. In 2002, Arizona Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, cosponsored a bill to provide dialysis and other chronic care needed to prevent expensive ER visits.
It failed. What’s left is an ambiguous policy that the federal government itself has struggled to clarify.
“We do not pay for chronic care for illegal immigrants,” Mary Kahn, a Medicaid spokesperson, said when asked about the issue in early 2007.
If California and other states were using federal funds to help provide routine dialysis, she said, they were mischaracterizing it as an emergency treatment.
More recently, she acknowledged that the federal government has knowingly been sharing the cost in California for years. It has long been left to the states to decide whether to provide routine dialysis, she said.
Many states, including Texas, Colorado and New Mexico, take the position that kidney failure does not automatically qualify as an emergency because patients can survive for weeks without dialysis before toxins accumulate to fatal levels.
Other states have wavered. North Carolina, for example, now provides routine dialysis for illegal immigrants. Conversely, the Georgia Medicaid program stopped paying for dialysis in 2006 amid rising sentiments in the Legislature that illegal immigrants were a financial drain.
“Georgia ain’t California or New York,” said Mark Trail, head of Georgia’s Medicaid program until last month, noting a strong conservative tradition.
The courts haven’t cleared up the issue.
A group of illegal immigrants sued Arizona in 2002 after the state attempted to cut off their dialysis. Heeding arguments that sporadic emergency treatments would jeopardize lives, a judge told the state to keep treating them while the case was decided. In a settlement last year, the state agreed to restore its policy of providing routine dialysis, but the settlement applies only to Arizona.
California’s dialysis policy is largely an economic calculation, said Stan Rosenstein, the administrator of Medi-Cal, the state healthcare program for the poor that covers dialysis for illegal immigrants.
The cost of one routine treatment is about $250. The cost of providing it in the emergency room can easily climb into the thousands of dollars, especially if the patient has to be admitted to the hospital.
To advocates of stricter immigration controls, such comparisons miss the point.
“Taxpayers are on the hook for people who aren’t supposed to be here,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
The fear in many states is that offering routine dialysis will simply lure more sick people from other countries.
“We cannot provide dialysis to the world,” said Ramiro Valdez, a Dallas social worker and medical consultant.
Teresita Aquino, an illegal immigrant from the Philippines, hadn’t intended to stay in the United States, but being rushed to the emergency room with kidney failure eight years ago changed her mind. Now, a free transportation service picks her up three days a week for her dialysis in Torrance.
“If I go home, I won’t be able to afford this,” said Aquino, 56. “No way am I going home.”
In general, however, California’s recent experience does not suggest that free routine dialysis will become an open invitation to illegal immigrants with kidney failure. The number of undocumented immigrants on government-funded dialysis jumped from 835 to 1,327 between 1998 and 2001 but has remained fairly steady since.
Social workers and doctors in Texas and other states said patients may be vaguely aware of the services in California, but they are often too sick to move by the time they understand the gravity of their plight.
Some hospitals in Texas quietly encourage illegal immigrants to move to Houston, where the public hospital district uses local taxes to pay for routine dialysis even though the state Medicaid program does not.
Dr. Karla Vital, a kidney specialist at University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, said her hospital encourages Mexican nationals to return to Mexico. Some hospitals pay for plane tickets back.
Mexico offers dialysis to those who can afford it, but access is far more limited for the poor.
Delia Lopez, a 42-year-old illegal immigrant who recently started dialysis in Los Angeles, said she would rather be with family in Mexico. But she can’t afford the treatment there, she said.
“I have friends who have died because of lack of dialysis,” said Lopez, a longtime diabetic who arrived in the U.S. four years ago while her kidneys were still functioning.
The only alternative to dialysis is a kidney transplant, a procedure California and a few other states provide to illegal immigrants. Last year, 52 of the 1,912 kidney transplants in California were for illegal immigrants.
Several studies show that a transplant pays for itself in three dialysis-free years. Critics, however, say that dipping into the organ pool is a greater outrage because so many citizens are waiting.
“It’s not like you go to Costco and pick up a kidney,” Krikorian said.
Toribio is now seeking a second transplant.
She said she is grateful for the care she has received in California. But Toribio, who works in a textile factory for $8 an hour attaching tags to blankets, towels and bathmats, believes the United States should accept it as the price of a cheap labor pool.
As much as she would like to visit her parents and grandparents in Mexico, she has never returned.
It is not worth the risk of leaving California: She might not be able to get back.
You shouldn't be shocked by the statistics of the number of cases of TB reported in San Diego in the following article. After all, the voters overwhelmingly re-elected the reconquistas Tauscher, Torlakson, and DeSaulnier, who all support giving Calif. taxes to illegal aliens to attend college.

The shooting occurred in a crowded toy store on the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, but authorities say it wasn't related to the bargain-hunting frenzy. Instead, two men pulled guns and killed each other after the women with them erupted into a bloody brawl, witnesses said.
Authorities released few details about the mayhem that broke out at the Toys "R" Us store around 11:30 a.m. Friday, sending scared shoppers fleeing. Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez said the fight was not over a toy and that handguns were found by the men's bodies. He refused to say whether the shooting was gang-related.
The victims were identified as Alejandro Moreno, 39, of Desert Hot Springs, and Juan Meza, 28, of Cathedral City. No one else was hurt.
Witnesses Scott and Joan Barrick said they were checking out of the store when the brawl began between two women, each with a man. The women were near the checkout area, but the Barricks did not think the women had purchases.
One woman suddenly started punching the other woman, who fought back as blood flowed from her nose, said Scott Barrick, 41. The man who was with the woman being punched pulled a gun halfway out of his pocket, then shoved it back in, he said.
"He pulled his gun right next to me. I turned to look for my wife, and she was already hiding," Scott Barrick said.
"I was scared," said Joan Barrick, 40. "I didn't want to die today. I really didn't want to die today, and I think that's what we were all thinking."
The other man pulled a gun and pointed it at the first man but forgot to [bleep] it, Scott Barrick said. The first man tried to run but was blocked by the line of people, then ran back toward the store's electronics section as the other man fired his gun, he said.
The first man reached a dead-end in electronics, turned around and ran toward an exit, pulling his gun and firing back, Scott Barrick said.
"He went up to the cash register, he went to put his hand on the thing and he just went phoomp," he said, indicating the man fell.
He said he did not see what happened to the other man.
Palm Desert Councilman Jim Ferguson said police told him two men with handguns shot and killed each other.
"I think the obvious question everyone has is who takes loaded weapons into a Toys "R" Us?" he said. "I doubt it was the casual holiday shopper."
Ray Turner, 20, said he was two aisles away when two women began shouting and screaming at each other and he had a clear view of the fight until a crowd clustered around them. Both women had children, he said.
"We thought it was just a fight and then someone yelled: `He's got a gun! He's got a gun!' You really couldn't see nothing because there was a crowd," Turner said.
Rafael Gomez, 11, said he and his father had been in the store about 20 minutes before the shooting but were in a nearby Pizza Hut when they saw people pouring out of the store screaming.
"We just saw them running and crying. I was kind of scared," Rafael said. "We got lucky."
Toys "R" Us issued a statement expressing outrage over the violence.
"We are working closely with local law enforcement officials to determine the specific details of what occurred," the statement said. "Our understanding is that this act seems to have been the result of a personal dispute between the individuals involved. Therefore, it would be inaccurate to associate the events of today with Black Friday."
Palm Desert is a resort town about 120 miles east of Los Angeles.
In the dead of night our state 'representatives' passed the California Dream Act that gives in-state tuition to illegal aliens in California. It's not that there are that many aliens taking advantage of the program, but it runs afoul of the federal law that states quite plainly that states cannot offer aliens different rates than all citizens of the U.S. A California Appeals Court thought so too, so the case is pending a conference to see if the Calif Supremes will hear it. If not, the Appeals court prevails, and refunds may be due to ALL OUT OF STATE STUDENTS SINCE 2001!. I hope they don't mind taking an IOU from Mexifornia!
Will common sense prevail? The following article whines about the 'loss' of the right of illegal aliens to suck more taxpayers' funds by being provided lawyers free (to them).
As stated by a member of AILA, (one of the larger contributors to Democrans and Replicrats) Karl Krooth, "... I think there's been something very big taken away ...". Yeah, a good chunk of his livelyhood. He may have to go back to chasing ambulances instead of milking the taxpayers.
Then we get the incessant 'poor victims' argument. They wouldn't be victims if they weren't here illegally. Suck it up. Be adults. Take responsibility for your actions.
This is followed byt the inevitable 'let's-confuse-immigrants-with-aliens" ploy. About the only people who haven't figured out the difference is what passes for main stream media.
'Undocumented farmworkers' at the end of the article is the dead giveaway that this is a piece of propaganda trying to justify the reconquista invasion of our nation.
The schwartz is trying his best to balance the budget. He can still make the legislators forfeit instead of delay their pay. He can still make them address the $11B estimated cost of illegal aliens and their children in California.
With 70% + of California's population thinking the illegal alien problem is out of hand and tired of paying for foreign squatters to occupy our lands, this initiative should be a shoe in.
I checked the site referenced by Joe earlier this afternoon and the petition was not available for download at that time. But with our 'representatives' in Sacto still unable to figure a way to cut $11B from our state deficit by cutting off benefits to illegal aliens, I expect to see this petition soon in the public for us to sign.
It seems emergency room doctors are fed up with the insipid results of our inept legislators in Sacto in recovering the costs of treating illegal aliens in our California emergency rooms. As you may recall, the federal program to repay states for treating illegal aliens expired 3 months ago.
Remember, $11B of our $44B deficit is attributable to state aid to illegal aliens. Think about that the next time you find yourself in a California emergency waiting room. And you'll have a lot of time to think about it then.
Let's see. State with highest number of illegal aliens and their children. State with one of the more liberal legislatures. And while illegal aliens account for only $11B of the $46B deficit, that is a significant contribution to our debt. Yet not a word from the legislature about curbing benefits to illegal aliens.
As the coming recession grips America by the cajones expect more violence like this to occur in Mexifornia. If you find yourself in such a protest, be prepared, and vigilant.
Reconquista 'One Bill Gil' Cedillo has, yep, reintroduced SB60, the California Drivers Licenses for Illegal Aliens bill in the CA Senate. Expect Torlakson, Tauscher, DeSaulnier to support this nonsense, again.
And on another front, the governor of Maryland is attempting to reverse the long standing policy of issuing licenses to illegal aliens there. There are only 4 states that currently issue D/L s to illegal aliens.
At the beginning of the agenda when the general considerations of the budget are defined, I noticed they refer to providing services to 'residents', as opposed to 'legal residents'. That single word difference is a multi-million dollar difference just in this county alone. Remember, the reimbursement of hospitals from the Feds for treating illegal aliens expired months ago, so now we are faced with an unfunded mandate to provide medical care to trespassing citizens of other countries AT OUR EXPENSE. Although we cannot deny emergency medical services to illegal aliens, we CAN collect information about their citizenship if we don't base our actions on that information. That could give us the leverage to seek reimbursement from the feds in court, or even from the countries of origin.
After all, we are a sovereign state who has specifically stated that we retain all the Constitutional rights conferred to us as a state, including the right to repel invaders. So, for example, we could have our 911 operators request a D/L number or California ID number when receiving calls from adults. We could request child and family services to request a Ca D/L or ID number when investigating new cases.
The following story was missed by CCTimes. It's about a recent assault on a police officer in Modesto. Scary reading. Modesto, like Concord, is a sanctuary city.
This is interesting. The California Supreme Court exerted its state sovereignty rights over an illegal alien minor who was caught smuggling more illegal aliens. It emphasized that immigration is the domain of the federal govenment, but invasion and dealing with illegal aliens is just as much, or more, an enforcement right of the state. In other words, the tired old mantra "... you can't arrest us because only the Feds can enforce immigration ..." is toast.
In a prior article I mentioned the Contra Costa County Bd. of Supes meeting where benefits for illegal alien invaders in Contra Costa were going to be discussed. It's interesting to note in the L.A. Times article that there are 5,500 illegal aliens in the county taking valuable medical services from a population that is rapidly being forced to decide on paying for health care or housing. Now that the Mexican flu has had a 20th case diagnosed in the U.S., it seems insane to maintain this policy of aiding and abetting illegal aliens when 1. we can no longer afford it and 2. it attracts a dangerous population into our midst.
California counties cut healthcare to illegal immigrants
With budget problems afflicting counties across the state, some have begun eliminating healthcare to illegal immigrants. Critics say this will only shift the burden to hospital emergency rooms.
By Anna Gorman April 27, 2009
Forced to slash their budgets, some California counties are eliminating nonemergency health services for illegal immigrants -- a move that officials acknowledge could backfire by shifting the financial burden to emergency rooms.
Sacramento County voted in February to bar illegal immigrants from county clinics at an estimated savings of $2.4 million. Contra Costa County followed last month by cutting off undocumented adults, to save approximately $6 million. And Yolo County is voting on a similar change next month, which would reduce costs by $1.2 million.
"This is a way for us to get through what I think is a horrible year for healthcare in California," said William Walker, director of Contra Costa Health Services.
Walker said the national ambivalence on immigration policy means that illegal immigrants are living here but without federal or state funding to provide essential medical services to them. Walker, who began his medical career treating undocumented farmworkers, said that deciding to cut their services was difficult.
"This is the community of people we have all relied upon for decades, providing work not only in construction but in service and child care," he said. "We all live and work here together."
Trend could spread
As the recession continues, property tax revenue decreases and the number of newly uninsured patients increases, other county health departments in California and the nation may make similar changes, said Robert Pestronk, executive director of the National Assn. of County and City Health Officials.
"Communities are having to make excruciating decisions about the services they fund," he said.
But Pestronk said that shifting costs isn't the answer.
"This is a balloon that just expands," he said. "If you squeeze it in one place, it's just going to expand somewhere else."
John Schunhoff, Los Angeles County's interim health services department director, said there is no plan to eliminate health services to the county's illegal residents, despite significant projected deficits and concern about further cuts in state funding.
Eliminating illegal immigrants from health services may enable counties to balance their budgets this year but won't solve the problem in the long term, said David Hayes-Bautista, professor of medicine and director of UCLA's Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture.
"We are mortgaging the future to scrape through the present," he said.
And study after study shows that illegal immigrants are less likely than U.S.-born residents to go to the doctor or seek regular medical care, he said.
Anti-illegal immigration activist Barbara Coe said she was thrilled that counties are beginning to restrict services. Coe's group, California Coalition for Immigration Reform, sponsored Proposition 187, the initiative that tried to bar the state from providing public services to illegal immigrants before it died in federal court.
Illegal immigrants "have absolutely no right, No. 1, to be here and, No. 2, to take the tax dollars of law-abiding American taxpayers for anything," she said.
But the policy changes have angered immigrant rights advocates, who argue that restrictions could also cause a chilling effect on legal residents and U.S. citizens in mixed-status families.
"Even those people who qualify to get care won't," said Reshma Shamasunder, director of the California Immigrant Policy Center.
Shamasunder also said that denying healthcare to one segment of the population puts everyone else at risk as communicable diseases go untreated and emergency rooms become even more crowded.
Jose Suarez, who has asthma, said he now plans to go to the hospital if he gets sick. Suarez, 25, was born in Mexico but has been living in Contra Costa County for 10 years.
"It's unfair," he said. "We are real people. I understand they have to cut a few things here and there, but I believe they can do better."
Few options
Marina Espinoza, also an illegal immigrant in Contra Costa County, said she visits a county clinic a few times a month to monitor her diabetes and high blood pressure so that she doesn't end up in the hospital. Espinoza is considering returning to Mexico, where a relative has a lead on a job with health insurance.
"None of us choose to get sick," said Espinoza, 39. "I can't afford the medications. How can I pay for that? It's that or rent."
Before changing its policy on illegal immigrants, Sacramento County took several other steps to reduce healthcare costs, including closing three of its six clinics. But that wasn't enough, said Keith Andrews, chief of primary health services in the Department of Health and Human Services. Andrews said he was left with a choice between firing staff or reducing the number of patients. The county is continuing to treat everyone for communicable diseases.
Andrews said about 4,000 people without legal residency or citizenship were receiving healthcare in the county. Although some are immigrants who have lived and worked in the area for years, he said, others are foreign natives who came to the county to receive free medical treatment.
"This decision is going to impact all of our community," he said. "It's going to create other social problems because of the impact on emergency rooms."
Seeking solutions
In Contra Costa County, which will continue treating undocumented children and pregnant women, community groups mobilized against the proposal. They helped persuade county officials to allocate additional funds to the nonprofit community clinics to help treat the 5,500 undocumented patients who will no longer be eligible for county services.
Those patients will receive primary care at the clinics, but they won't have a place to go if they need to see a specialist, such as for cancer or heart problems.
"It's a major gap," said Soren Tjernell of the Community Clinic Consortium, which represents clinics in Contra Costa and Solano counties.
Yolo County's proposal, which goes before its Board of Supervisors on May 5, would affect about 1,200 undocumented patients. Joseph Iser, who heads the county health department, said he wished that he had another source of revenue to continue services for illegal immigrants.
"Except by helping us balance the budget, it doesn't help us, it doesn't help our citizens, it doesn't help our undocumented," he said. "But if we don't have the money, we just can't afford it."
Obama's proposed budget eliminates the Federal funds to reimburse states for incarcerating illegal aliens. It seems a no-brainer to check our jails and prisons for illegal aliens. If only the clowns in Sactomato had the cajones to pull the aliens from their cells and deposit them at Federal buildings and arrest any Federal employee who tries to release them on state land on charges and 'aiding and abetting an insurrection in the state of California'. Hey! No pay, no play!
Did you notice the comment that ICE no longer takes calls from citizens attempting to report the presence of illegal aliens? That's probably another Napolitano fark up looking for a prime time to happen.
Feinstein, Boxer, Tauscher, Torlakson, DeSaulnier - Benedict Arnolds of the New Age of Aztlan
Enforcing laws against invaders on our public transportation infrstructure, apparently. This story is about an ICE raid in sunny southern Mexifornia on the Old Town Trolley in San Diego. I like how the ICE agents bring along a shrink to identify suspicious behavior in order to avert the charge of 'profiling'. Although I think it ludicrous that of the 22 people on the trolley, only 1 remained aboard after the raid. That's like saying that shooting fish in a barrel is 'profiling'.
Here'e irony for you. The perenniel proposer of drivers licenses for illegal aliens, Gil Cedillo, lost his bid for Congress to .... an Asian-American. And his district was especially crafted to elect Hispanics where Asians are 1/10 of the voting population. Ya gotta love the irony. And how come illegal alien invaders consider themselves 'Hispanic', but Asian immigrants consider themselves 'Asian-American'?
Well, 'the Race' is at it again. Two major gangs, many of whose members are illegal aliens, got into each others' faces up close and personal. This required your California taxes to provide the police services used to subdue the gangs.
On Monday DeSaulnier voted to pass SB60 to allow California drivers' licenses to be obtained by illegal alien invaders. The bill would create a separate type of license that would not be acceptable for Federal identification purposes. I haven't read the bill, but I expect to find that the licenses that confer identity privileges will cost more than the ones the illegal aliens are eligible for.
When are these clowns in Sacramento going to figure out that the taxpayers are sick and tired of constantly having their wallets attacked to aid and abet squatters from other countries?
And where is the State Attorney General? I though it was illegal for the legislature to consider any other legislation until the budget is passed. And I sure hope they're not getting paid, either!
In this article one side of Schwarzenegger's mouth says "... no cost by illegal aliens ...", while the other side says "except for the $4B ...". The more realistic estimate from late last year was $11 - $12 billion.
Note his statement that the Feds require states to aid and abet illegal alien invaders. That may be partially true, but could certainly be minimized if the state took a hard stance against the invaders, rounded them up, and dropped them off at the nearest Federal property to be dealt with.
San Diego has suddenly become a hot spot for border violations. Of many recent reports of illegal alien invaders being nabbed, this one stands out. Note the source, American Propaganda (AP), and the lack of whether the trucking company was one of the ones allowed by NAFTA / SHAFTA to go beyond the 200 mile limit.
Reuben's recent opinion posted in the CCTimes is typical spin to support the invasion of illegal aliens. In this case he hides behind the Schwarz, who, on one hand, says the squatters contribute, and on the other, says they cost the state $5B. He then throws up the phony argument that illegal aliens are the sole reason for the state's financial woes according to unnamed sources. If we're looking at a $40B shortfall and use FAIR's estimate of $11B the squatters cost us, then obviously about 25% of the problem falls in the laps of the loopy liberals supporting the invasion.
He then rants on about the glorious contribution the workers of the world have made here, and how it would bring our country to its knees if we didn't have illegal aliens taking our jobs, depressing our wages, and sapping educational resources with their language demands like the Marxist spinmaster he thinks he is.
Meanwhile the unreported news is that Amnesty II is scheduled to be initiated in Congress June 17th. Don't watch for it in the not-so-mainstream-media.
California DREAMing has turned into California screaming in Orange County, A recent reader poll of the OCRegister showed 78% opposed this standalone Senate infliction of the DREAM act on them. Likely it will be rolled into Amnesty II, coming soon in the dead of the night when no one is watching.
Ahhhh, three of the sorriest, sorest subjects Californians face - loopy liberals in Sacto doing the budget; Mexifornication; and Navarette discussing the Schwarz. Have a barf bag handy.
This seems hard to believe - the clowns in Sacto who can't find time to arrive at a budget have time to take a shot at the Federal e-Verify program. They plan to vote on a bill tomorrow to prohit requiring its use for state-funded and federally funded jobs. I don't get it. I thought the state Constitution prohibited them from considering any legislation during a declared 'fiscal emergency' which the Schwarz has declared. No word on it in our local rag.
The local Minuteman group in Victorville is requesting the city council to instruct Wells Fargo to replace their downtown billboards in Spanish with English language versions. Their argument is that the Spanish language boards are divisive to American culture.
“The official language of California is English — the American culture has always spoken English,” said Raymond Herrera, national spokesman for We The People California’s Crusader and the Minuteman Project. “English is a part of our national identity as Americans.”
If I was still working in the City I would be ticked that the city employment tax is being used to pay for the police, the jail, the judge and courtroom of this illegal alien claiming to be a 'victim'. Oh, that's right, the Obaminator recently approved expansion of the T and U visa for 'victims' ow other countries, even if they are here illegally.

So even though the majority of Californians do not support a second amnesty for illegal aliens DeSaulnier disrepects their sentiments and votes for open borders instead. And he insults immigrants by throwing them in the same category as illegal aliens in the process.
He should be brought up on charges of sedition.
Feinstein, Boxer, Miller, DeSaulnier, Torlakson, Stark -
AB 132 was passed that makes it a violation of state law for school authorities to inquire or collect information about the immigration status of any child, illegal alien invader or not, enrolled in Calif. schools.
I came across this comment in a topic about aliens becoming POTUS. Our state 'representatives' take an oath to abide by the provisions of the California State Constitution, which contain the following definitions:
The citizens of the State are: (a) All persons born in the State and residing within it, except the children of transient aliens and of alien public ministers and consuls. (b) All persons born out of the State who are citizens of the United States and residing within the State. .... Persons in the State not its citizens are either: (a) Citizens of other States; or (b) Aliens. .... Every person while within the State is subject to its jurisdiction and entitled to its protection. .... Allegiance is the obligation of fidelity and obedience which every citizen owes to the State.
ARTICLE 3 SEC. 1. The State of California is an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.
ARTICLE 3 SEC. 6. (a) Purpose.
English is the common language of the people of the United States of America and the State of California. This section is intended to preserve, protect and strengthen the English language, and not to supersede any of the rights guaranteed to the people by this Constitution. (b) English as the Official Language of California. English is the official language of the State of California.

The reason I rewrote your article is because your English is better than my Spanish, but to persons who speak only English your post could not be understood. So I guessed where you were born, as you seem to hold to the reconquista fable of Atzlan as your reality.
So let's get this straight. You want to return Mexifornia to its proper place before the Conquistadors from Spain killed off most of the indian population and interbred to the point where you have more Spanish (that's a country in Europe of mostly whites) blood than indian. Isn't that about the time of blood sacrifices and cutting out the beating hearts of innocents from the population? And you say the FBI tactics are inhuman.
How do you plan to have Spain return the money the U.S. paid for the portion of its Mexican colony it sold? And c'mon, Mexico has been so corrupt thru the ages it wasn't stable enough to be recognized by other counrties until 1917. And today more people from Mexico are crossing the border illegally because we 'white' Europeans respect our laws and can be relied upon to enforce them, including bribery laws. We're not perfect about that, but we're light-years ahead of Mexico.
You have nothing to offer. You lost the land once, and instead of fixing your own country, Mexico, you insist on bringing the worst your world has to offer into ours. We bought it once, but I'm not buying it again.

On October 30, illegal aliens Juan Hernandez-Monzalvo, 25, and Richard Morales-Marin, 24, were found guilty by an Orange County, FL jury of kidnapping and sexual battery, along with other charges.
On February 5, 2009, the 11-year-old girl was walking to school when she was grabbed by the two Mexican nationals, who forced her into their car at knifepoint. They drove her to an abandoned house where both men took turns raping her.
Because of the girl’s young age and the severe trauma she has suffered, prosecutors brought a therapy dog into the courtroom to help calm her frayed nerves and allow her to testify against her brutal attackers.
The little girl never looked at her assailants, but locked eyes with the gentle Golden Retriever as he lay close to her, and described the ordeal to the courtroom.
“He grabbed my neck and put a knife to my throat,” she said.
She continued: “He told me to get in the car, I was crying. He told me if I didn’t he’d kill me.”
She said that when the pair was finished with her, they ordered her to put her clothes on and get back into the car. They drove her to another area and fled.
She said: “He told me to get out and they drove off really fast.”
The girl then knocked on doors throughout the neighborhood until finding someone to help her.
Sickeningly, one of the men, Morales-Marin, testified that he thought the little girl was a prostitute and that she went with them willingly. He claimed that he did not realize she was only a child until after he and his cohort had both raped her, when he noticed her small backpack.
Both men face up to life in prison and will be sentenced in January.
One of the rapists, Juan Hernandez-Monzalvo, had actually been previously deported to Mexico, but easily made his way back to Florida. He has been arrested many times for driving without a license.
Both Hernandez-Monzalvo and Morales-Marin are suspected of committing other sexual assaults in the area. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office say that DNA evidence has linked Morales-Marin to a recent rape near a local mall.

Now HERE's a real twist. The comment following was appended to this report on the invasion issue -
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5276422.html
CL2005 wrote:
Just as people in the US fought for Independence from England, Mexicans started their war for independence from Spain in 1810 and achieved it in 1821. After independence, the formerly Spanish territories were under Mexican control. Mexico forbid Anglo immigration. Whites consistently broke Mexican law when they illegally invaded California and the Southwest.
In Texas, the Mexican government had given permission for some whites to emigrate. But thousands more Anglo immigrants, or criminals, arrived illegally.
Prior to 1823, there were less than three thousand white people in Texas. At that time, the Mexican government had given Stephen Austin permission to live there along with a few hundred other Gringos, with the condition that they would become Mexican citizens, they would speak Spanish, and they would pledge allegiance to the Mexican government. But white colonists began to enter the territory illegally and brought their slaves with them. Within a decade, whites outnumbered the Hispanic inhabitants. Gringos were interested in the rich agricultural lands of the Texan territory. These were the illegal aliens of their day, see Patricia Nelson Limerick, The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West. By 1830, whites outnumbered Mexicans 25,000 to 4,000.
In 1835 Sam Houston, who had illegally crossed into Texas, argued against mixing with the Mexicans, “no matter how long we may live among them.†See Houston speech to Soldiers, January 15, 1836, in the Papers of the Texas Revolution, 1835-1836, gen. Ed. John J. Jenkins, 4:30. The Gringos eventually overwhelmed the original inhabitants of the territory and began to impose the English language on them.
According to Mexican Lieutenant Jose Maria Sanchez, the foreign intruders “have taken possession of practically all the eastern part of Texas, in most cases without the permission of the authorities. They immigrate constantly, finding no one to prevent them, and take possession of the sitio (location) that best suits them without either asking leave or going through any formality other than that of building their homes.â€
During the Battle of the Alamo, the defenders were fighting for slavery, which Mexico had abolished in Texas in 1829. After the defeats at the Alamo and Goliad, on April 21, 1836, Sam Houston’s army of less than 800 men defeated Santa Anna's army as it camped out on the San Jacinto River, east of present-day Houston. The next day, Houston's army captured Santa Anna himself and forced him to sign a treaty granting Texas its independence, a treaty that was never ratified by the Mexican government because it was acquired under duress.
Soon after, these Anglo aliens usurped Mexicans’ land. They began to dishonor Mexican land claims. They passed new laws in English, a foreign language for those Mexicans whose border had moved. Often Mexican land was auctioned off for pennies an acre for failure to pay taxes. Mexicans were commonly lynched and whole communities were driven out of Texas towns.
Gringos carried out raids in which they murdered Mexicans and forcibly took their land and stocks. Historian A.B.J. Hammet states that Mexican families were “driven from their homes, their cattle and horse and their lands, by an army of reckless, war-crazy people.†In 1839 over a hundred Mexican families were forced to abandon their houses in the town of Nacogdoches by invading Gringos. The mayor of San Antonio in 1840, Juan Seguin, states in his “Personal Memoirs of John N. Seguinâ€, how Mexicans came to him repeatedly from protection of the invading whites. Eventually, he had to flee to Mexico because of personal threats against him.
Anglo outlaws raided Mexican ranches, killing the inhabitants, burning homes and stores. Mexican livestock was declared public property and the invaders forcefully took Mexicans’ property and their land. Mexicans were driven out of Austin in 1853 and again in 1855. They were expelled from Seguin in 1854, from Matagorda and Colorado Counties in 1856, and from Uvalde in 1857.
Rancher Faustino Morales recalls that how the Gringos “came in and drove the Mexicans out and took over their ranches.†See Frank H. Dugan, “The 1850 Affairs of the Brownsfield Separatistsâ€. Southwestern Historical Quarterly 61,no.2.
Years later, whites would also use the Texas Rangers to officially carry out their deeds. “Texas Rangers, in cooperation with land speculators, came into small Mexican villages in the border country, massacred hundreds of unarmed, peaceful Mexicans villagers and seized their lands. See “The Mexican Question in the Southwest, “ Political Affairs March 1939.
Most of the illegal aliens were land speculators and criminals. William Barret Travis had escaped to Mexican territory after he had killed a man. Jim Bowie was a slave trader who had gone into Texas hoping to make some business; Sam Houston and Davy Crockett had participated in the massacre of the Creeks at Horseshoe Bend.
Abb Emanuel Domenech, a religious missionary in Southern Texas, states in “Missionary Adventures in Texas and Mexico†that “The American of the Texan frontiers are, for the most part, the very scum of society-bankrupts, escaped criminals, old volunteers, who after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, came into a country protected by nothing that could be called a judicial authority, to seek adventure and illicit gains.â€
The Anglo invasion of Mexican territory was not confined to Texas. They arrived in droves and illegally occupied great parts of the Southwest and California. California Governor Pio Pico warned of how “we find ourselves threatened by hordes of Yankee immigrants who have already begun to flock into our country and whose progress we cannot arrest.†By the late 1800’s, Anglos had acquired four fifths of the Mexican land grants. See A History of Multicultural America, by Ronald Takaki. Six years after Texas independence, 1.3 million acres had been seized by 13 anglos. David Montejano, Anglos and Mexicans in the Making of Texas.
Believing in its racist ideology to wipe out other races by killing Indians and stretching to the Pacific Ocean, the United States had previously offered to purchase the Mexican territories of California, New Mexico, and Arizona for $15 milion. Mexico had indignantly refused the offer. Just as George Bush used the pretext of Weapons of Mass Destruction to attack Irak, US President James Polk then instigated war against Mexico in 1846 in hopes of acquiring Mexican territory. Most historians agree that this war was unjustified. Opponents of the war included Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Clay, Mark Twain and Daniel Webster.
One of the most interesting episodes of the Mexican War surrounded the St. Patrick's Battalion. Among the American troops was a contingent of Irish-born soldiers. After the war commenced, 200 of these soldiers concluded that they were fighting on the wrong side. They didn't like the fact that the United States was using its overwhelming might to invade and conquer a much weaker nation. They deserted the American army and began fighting for the Mexican army. When U.S. Gen. Winfield Scott and his troops reached Mexico City, after invading at Veracruz, they captured the St. Patrick soldiers and hanged 50 of them. The Mexican War ended with the surrender of Mexico and with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. With this treaty, Mexico lost one-half of its territory.
But this illegal and unjust war cannot be justified, just as I cannot go into your home, put a gun to your head, force you to sell me your house for $5, and then pretend that this transaction was just or legal.

First time I read the description of events that led to the formation of the Republic of Texas, with a Mexican Vice-President, from Yucatan. I went to high school in Texas and never met anyone that knew a fraction of what is posted. What was worse? That they came into Mexico in illegally great numbers, or that they came to exploit slaves they brought along. Not a pretty chapter in history. Some day, June 19th will become a Legal Holiday: Emancipation Day in Texas. The state that will deliver the Presidential election to Sen. Obama.

This article portrays some real numbers of illegal alien criminal invaders in Ventura County.
http://www.toacorn.com/news/2007/1108/Community/020.html
I got a chuckle from the last line when the politically correct (PC) Rep. Gallegly used the phrase criminal illegal immigrants to describe the invaders. Apparently he doesn't have a clue that we don't (knowingly) allow criminals to immigrate into the U.S. Well, except for persons guilty of statutory rape, thanks to the U.S. District Court.

On the legal front there is this case against Tyson and LULAC (a pro-alien invasion Hispanic-only group). The class action suit seeks to recover wages lost by American workers due on the actions of LULAC and Tyson to hire illegal alien invaders to depress wages.

Here's a story about local sheriffs having to release illegal alien invaders because the Feds wouldn't pick them up.
http://www.vaildaily.com/article/20071121/NEWS/71121037
You don't suppose the fact that 1,000 ICE agents were recently allocated solely to customs enforcement had anything to do with it, do you? The sheriffs should have rented a bus, put all the invaders on board, taken them to Wash. D.C., and handcuff them to the White House fence. Then sent the bill to el Presidente Bush. Then el Presidente could have shared his Thanksgiving taco with them. (since he pardoned the turkey)

Mexico is due there just entitlement in addressing California for what it is from day 1. All the get the illegals out of the US and prisons there taking up all the resources. This land speaks volumes of what was here from the begining.All the European immigrants embraced as if there the pioneers of the west."Go back to Mexico", were already here alway's have been alway's will be.By natural rights taken by man made foreign immigrants, with ambition that has wrecked the land ecologically and has caused divide for there racist power struggle in maintaining the face of california to be seen as US red, white and blue. It alway's will be mexico no matter what flag or meaningless display of government presses to the people or believers in denial. The majority of the population in California is hispanic and the uncertainty of California's face going back to what it alway's has been and alway's will be reguardless of manufactured pressed history instilled upon mind's of all age's. Karma is real as this government is on the issue of immigration. Like Christopher Columbus was the discoverer of Americas. Such False teaching's still taught in text book's.Immigration change is needed to kick out all the whites out of California the land is MEXICO and the people want the immigrants out!! California is Mexico and alway's will be just as the rest of the western state's. All the finger pointing at the mexicans, White's stole and took nothing different then today. The people will not stand or back down for what is just . Power to the people from all nations high and low.Barack Obama's is the best left with a mess of the Bush family all the way down the line.Time for the people to be enlightened and be checked and called on there ignorance and hatred of Mexico and it's people that have more rights taken then should be restored rightfully. Internationally United States has more enemies then friends due to the dogma it has projected to the world.

thoms247, I am having trouble understanding you. Can we assume you are a recent arrival from Mexico? And you are upset because all you hear is that all illegal aliens should be deported, including the ones in prison? You seem to be saying that the European immigrants claim to be the pioneers of the West, and that all Mexicans should get out. You also seem to be saying that you claim a natural right to be here. You then seem to say the ambition of the European immigrants destroyed the ecology here and are racially divisive because they say California is politically part of the United States. And do you then say that the land of California belongs to Mexico, it always has, and always will, no matter what is taught in school? And that the majority of the population in California is Hispanic? Because you then state
"Immigration change is needed to kick out all the whites out of California the land is MEXICO and the people want the immigrants out!! and that the law of Karma will make this happen. Then you state the Western states of the United States belongs to Mexico as well. And that the white man stole the land from Mexico in the past, and that whites are still stealing from Mexico. Do you think that Obama will return California to Mexico because he is stopping people from being stupid bigots who hate Mexico? And that Hispanics have more rights than anyone else?
Please let me know if I understand you right.

Christmas Message from Invading Hordes
An illegal alien invader who had been released from from a California prison and deported, returned and threatened the life of a mother and child in Fresno on Christmas.
http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=news/local&id=5854425
It could have been a real tragedy since Sen.(orita) Feinstein's bodyguard was unavailable to protect the mother and child with his weapon. Fortunately a family member DID have a weapon and the story has a happy ending. Not only did the mother and child survive, but major incarceration costs were saved by the expeditious dispatch of the invader.

Sorry for the cross-post, but this article addresses 3 top issues - California economic crisis, illegal alien invasion, and the upcoming election.
http://www.investors.com/editorial/editorialcontent.asp?secid=1501&status=article&id=284947429536176
Note that the cost of the invasion in California would more than pay to keep the parks open. All the Guv' has to do is to have a large portion of the state legislature arrested for sedition to get the ball rolling.

This is cute. The Feds in bed with Mexico to aid and abet illegal alien invaders in Southern California. I think it's right to make the companies pay wages due (for anyone) for work done, but when you're down in the sewers, you expect to see rats. The illegal aliens should collect their wages, be allowed to plead guilty to breaking U.S. laws, and immediately deported. The companies should be prosecuted out of business. But that's obviously not what the Feds are doing.
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-empleo18jan18,1,2183390.story?ctrack=1&cset=true
Now here's an interesting wrinkle. Once an employer finds a bogus SSN
...Josie Gonzalez, a Pasadena attorney who represents employers in immigration matters, said there are contradictions in employment and labor law. For example, a company that discovers that an employee's Social Security number is false may want to terminate the worker and issue a final check but can't do so with the fake number.
Maybe the Fed needs to 'seize' the money (last paycheck) as a result of an on-going criminal enterprise (RICOH Act) and pass it on to the Company as a finder's fee.

Notice how they lumped the illegal aliens in with real Americans who have no banking? Notice the absence of stricter identification standards that would prevent financial institutions from aiding and abetting illegal aliens? Notice the absence of mention of predator fees charged by banks? Notice the argument promoting government intrusion into your life with its personal tracking system (the banks)? Note the attitude that 'after all, we in the government know how to run your life better than you do'?

Now this could be reallllly disturbing. Remember the train derailment in Compton 3 years ago? The SUV purposely parked on the tracks and doused with gasoline? The L.A. Daily News reported on the long-term effects recently, and one link led to another, etc. So the first link is the Daily News story. The second points to the more sinister aspect of domestic terrorism. But what if the terrorist is an 'illegal immigrant'(sic)? Is he somehow less a terrorist than, say, an al Quada operative?

It's coming sooner than you think ... Patelco Credit Union already accepts the Consular Matricula card as ID to open an account. So it will be interesting to see if the bank in Arkansas (why, yes, the Huckster Huckabee WAS in charge) will be prosecuted.

Now that the Schwartz has thrown in with the pro-invaders, there was a recent story about the Minutemen in SoCal adopting a piece of the highways to clean near a BP facility. Then the coward reconquista MORONes, who wouldn't face Lou Dobbs in a scheduled debate, protested to CalTrans. CalTrans subsequently reassigned the Minutemen's stretch of highway to a less convenient location.
In a surprising development, the ACLU is supporting the Minutemen's appeal to CalTrans in this article -

Although the author is confused about immigrants and illegal aliens, this article is about a recent raid down south at a printer toner recycling company -
http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_8200268?nclick_check=1
The best part, of course, are the comments that follow. Bear in mind that printer toner can do nasty things to the human body, and it is convenient to have slave labor to minimize workers' complaints about handing hazardous material and lack of medical coverage. So while I laud the company's attempt to lower the exorbitant printer supplies prices, it's too bad they got greedy and chose to use illegal alien invaders to increase profits.

http://weblog.signonsandiego.com/news/breaking/2008/02/immigration_again_1.html
Again, the comments are the best part, e.g., the author mentions the $6B in trade with Mexico, but neglects to point out the trade deficit of $2B as one of the commenters did. And that's over and beyond the $1.2B in remittances sent from Kalifornia.
We hear the argument all the time from Hispanic alien-abetting support groups that immigration is a FEDERAL problem, and states don't have a right to enforce border control against illegal alien invaders. So what is Calderdon doing speaking to a STATE legislature without escort of our federal State Department? Exhorting his troops to continue the invasion?

I have been careful not to single out a particular country of origin when speaking about illegal alien invaders. They come from around the world. Here in the Bay Area, a good many of them are from .... India.
http://www.mercurynews.com/valley/ci_8293975
It's interesting to note, however, that when pro-invader 'support' groups get into their diatribe of calling patriots, or sovereignists, 'racist' yada yada ..., you never see any Indians listed among their ilk. Or Chinese, for that matter. Or Africans. Makes you wonder who the racist bigots really are, doesn't it?

In Los Angeles, Hispanic Gangs Ethnically Cleansing Black Neighborhoods By Brenda Walker If Washington wanted to develop a vibrant underworld of vicious criminal gangs, it couldn't do any better than the immigration system now in place. The permissiveness toward lawbreaking border-crossers combined with the pure numbers of immigrants who cannot possibly be assimilated in such bulk has created a witches' brew of crime-spawning social pathology. The worst creatures are the Hispanic gangsters who kill innocent Americans in order to illustrate aptitude for savagery.
A recent heart-breaking example: the slaughter on March 2 of 17-year-old Jamiel Shaw, Jr. The South Los Angeles high school student was shot dead just a few doors from home by two Latino men who jumped from a car and demanded to know to which gang he belonged. When he didn't answer, they shot him down. His father heard the shots and went outside to see his boy bleeding on the sidewalk. [A youth 'on track' until fatal gunfire, By Paloma Esquivel, Paul Pringle and Francisco Vara-Orta, LA Times, March 4, 2008]
Jamiel had no gang connections. He was apparently just another random victim of Hispanic gangsters killing blacks to drive them out of their corner of Aztlan. The promising football star had received inquiries from Stanford and Rutgers universities about a possible athletic scholarship. His mother, Army Sgt. Anita Shaw, was called home from her second tour of duty in Iraq after the murder of her son.
The family is crushed. Dad Jamiel Sr. said they have "simply lost everything."
No arrests have been made in the case. The family is asking the public for help in bringing the killers to justice.
The murder has some similarities to the barbaric shooting of 14-year-old Cheryl Green in December of 2006. The eighth-grade student is said to have strayed into the territory of the 204th Street Latino gang, known for its anti-black racism; she was certainly killed because of her race and because of America's refusal to enforce immigration law.
Two Hispanic men, both members of the 204th Street gang, were arrested a few months later for Cheryl's murder. One, Ernesto Alcarez, is apparently an illegal alien.
The other gangster, Jonathan Fajardo, is the son of immigrants from Belize. He is also accused in the killing of a witness in connection with the Green shooting. Christopher Ash, 25, died of multiple stab wounds and a slit throat.
The City of the Angels recently experienced a daytime gang battle that brought out the police SWAT team and closed down dozens of blocks for six hours. Several schools were locked down for that time.
Veteran L.A. Police Department officials described the bizarre midday shootings—and the widespread disruption they caused—as highly unusual even in an area known for gang activity. It left the neighborhood littered with shell casings and its residents fearful.
Police blamed the incident on the notorious Avenues gang, which has cast a wide shadow over districts north of downtown L.A. for decades and continues to be active despite several high-profile attempts by authorities to shut it down. [Gang mayhem cripples large area, LA Times, February 22, 2008]
Los Angeles used to be a wonderful American city. Now that it has become Mexican (in the words of former Mayor Hahn), LA is a preview of the future America. It should alarm many more citizens into pro-sovereignty activism.
Gangs are the inevitable blowback from importing millions of excess, unskilled workers from the third world, who end up in bitter competition with one another and home-grown citizens. Normal family dynamics are scrambled by the immigration process. Young children may gain inordinate power compared to elders by their ability to speak English, and the generation gap is magnified to an unhealthy degree. Young people feel culturally estranged from older family members and bond with other kids in similar circumstances. The situation is completely predictable as an environment for gang formation.
Los Angeles is Ground Zero for gangs in the country. The County is home to as many as 1,200 gangs with 80,000 members. The cost could be $2 billion annually for all of their destructive criminal activity. [Who'll stop the gangs?, LA Times, February 27, 2008]
In the city of Los Angeles, a 2005 estimate put Hispanic gang membership as the most numerous at over 23,000, while black gangs amounted to fewer than 16,000.
Apart from strictly gang crime, a report from The Economist detailed how blacks suffer disproportionately in hate crimes in LA. In over 400 such crimes in 2006, blacks in the County were victims 59 percent of the time, while they comprise just nine percent of the population. In 70 percent of the time, the perps were Hispanic. [When black and brown collide, August 2, 2007]
Because of the brutal gang crimes that shock and worry the public, the city government occasionally presents a public relations event or expensive new social program to create the appearance that something is being done. The recent gang conference, which set up a program to exchange a handful of police officers with El Salvador, was one of the former. Sheriff Baca used the occasion to sound concerned.
"Over the last decade, in Los Angeles County, we've lost more than 5,800 people to gang violence in comparison to less than 500 people to natural disasters," [Sheriff] Lee Baca said at the second annual International Chiefs of Police Summit on Transnational Gangs which opened here earlier in the day. [Official: Los Angeles haunted by gang violence, China View, March 4, 2008]
Funny thing—none of the assembled expert police officers suggested that the notoriously criminal-friendly Special Order 40 might be rescinded to fight gang violence more effectively.
LA's own sanctuary law prohibits police from asking about immigration status and removes what would be a very useful tool for officers. In her 2005 Congressional testimony, scholar Heather Mac Donald noted specific instances where Special Order 40 protected criminals and allowed them to commit more crimes.
It doesn't help people outside the area understand what's going on when the local newspaper of record is at times downright secretive in revealing the cultural identity of the perps. (Los Angeles residents don't need a diagram about who does the crimes.) Gleaning the demographic facts about crime from the LA Times can require the considerable detective skills.
For example, a report about the Feb 22 shootout had only one little hint about who the Avenues gang might be.
The Avenues gang has cast a long shadow in these poor, largely Latino sections north of downtown L.A. [Gang mayhem cripples large area]
Even the profoundly corrupt Southern Poverty Law Center states forthrightly that the Avenues gangsters are a bunch of Mexicans.
Although the Avenues gang goes back a half century, it only fell heavily under the control of the Mexican Mafia in the 1980s, eventually becoming fundamentally racist as a result. (Police point out that, ironically, the Avenues now sling dope for the Mexican Mafia, which the gang's leaders in decades past looked down upon as a "black thing.") [L.A. Blackout, SPLC Intelligence Report, Winter 2006]
On the other hand, the LA Times now has an online blog, the Homicide Report, which provides crime notices that clearly state ethnic identities. It is sobering reading.
The violence that makes headlines gets all the attention. But the fear imposed by crime can be pervasive and deadening to the spirit. Consider the loss of freedom required to protect children when gangs rule the neighborhood:
Marie Keith, who is black, moved from South Los Angeles with her three daughters in 2000, believing she'd come to Torrance. One day black children playing on the street began screaming that "the 204s were coming."
Keith watched as gang members drove through, shooting. Black youths dived behind walls.
Since then, Keith's children have not been allowed to play in front of their apartment. When she has to travel more than half a block, she drives. [How a community imploded, LA Times, March 4, 2007, by Sam Quinones]
No American should have to live in such conditions. No citizen child should have to stay indoors to be safe from rampaging foreigners. Living with a reasonable expectation of protection against crime is part of inhabiting a first-world country. We spend a lot of money on police and prisons.
Hispanic gangsters are reconquistas with baggy pants and tattoos. They are ethnically cleansing black citizens out of parts of LA now, but indications are more of the same for the rest of us—first through the Southwest, next in America as a whole. Crime works well as a technique of the low-intensity warfare that is part and parcel of immigration as invasion.
Sounds apocalyptic? The social pathology in Los Angeles proves that we have exceeded the level of immigration we can accommodate.
When Hispanic gang members routinely drive around looking for random black people to kill, then America has far too many immigrants.
Brenda Walker (email her) lives in Northern California and publishes two websites, LimitsToGrowth.org and ImmigrationsHumanCost.org. She admires the poetry of Jesse Jackson, and in that spirit, suggests that immigration should be ended, not mended.

I'm already sick to my stomach with the issue of illegal immivasion, and even more with all gang activity, especially with hispanic gangs and the notorious (P)MS14. I get tired of hearing the excuses coming from cities who say that they are being overwhelmed with the crimes comitted by these putos, but I think its time that cops do a series of sweeps in every community to pick up and arrest suspected gangsters. I know the issue of civil rights and due process will always be screeching out of the mouths of leftist lawyer groups and the unAmerican ACLU, but if something needs to be done, then rules need to be broken for specific purposes, and the full might of SWAT needs to be unleashed on these animals with zero tolerance. Something like this may open a can of worms, but the nation put it on itself and its time to act now, or not at all.

This is the news the CCTimes won't print. Our resident Reconquista gubernator is spewing more half-truths about the Mexifornication of this fair state. He stated today that immigration was not the cause of the budget mess we're in (1/2 truth) being $8 billion short. But the media conveniently didn't ask the most obvious question - "Well, how much are illegal aliens costing California in unreimbursed costs?" (hint: the unchecked influx of illegal aliens in the Bay Area has overcome the clean air savings of ABAG II, and ESL takes 1/4 to 1/3 of every childs day in school). But the Schwartz is determined that unchecked population growth and rewarding illegal conduct, aka 'immigration reform', is what is best for us.

Well, here's $2M reasons why our state budget is so far in arrears. One illegal alien got on the Medi-Cal bandwagon and has soaked the taxpayers for the cost of 3 liver transplants, so far, with another waiting in the wings.
C'mon, can't we find some American, somewhere, who could use a free liver transplant? It's time to stop the practice of not asking citizenship status from state-funded patients.

There is no doubt that the invasion from the South has drained our State's coffers and it only will get worse. Those who benefit from this tragedy- School Districts and the Teachers Union who keep their jobs, Employers who can keep prices high and lower their labor costs, the Prison System where 35% of the inmates are illegal aliens, Health Services who can now justify their existence with higher demand for their services - have no incentive to change the way it is. They can hide behind a false pretense of caring about human rights and the glory of mankind, but the truth is that in the short-term they see an economic benefit to having illegal aliens demanding their services. At least Governor Schwarzenegger has taken the hard line in the State and demanded that excessive spending is over - 35% increase in only the last five years. Now that they have revised their deficit estimates we realize that it is much worse than anticipated. Don't be fooled into believing that this does not come from illegal immigration as it continues to drain our scarce resources and there is little hope of a turnaround. If illegals stopped sending kids to school and stopped getting free health care which we all subsidizing then things might be different.

The impact on California aside, we have allowed our politicians to cater to illegal activities. This is not specific to either major party. Repbulicans want more illegals because it's cheap labor; Democrats want more illegals because it's easy to scare the uneducated into voting for you.
Like any other laws, if the country generally ignores them, they are meaningless. Think of the posted speed limits. Technically, driving 5 mph over should grant you a fine or worse. However, persons who OBEY the law are generally scorned by the majority of us who regularly break it. So my question is, why have a law we have no intention of enforcing? It's silly. Either elimnate the law or enforce them. Period.

I live in Oregon which, perhaps not surprisingly, also has a significant problem with undocumented and illegal workers. Believe it or not, agriculture is the second most important business in Oregon. During the summer harvesting season, it employs over 80,000 seasonal workers. While estimates vary, most will agree that somewhere between 70%-75% of these workers are illegal.
Like many states, Oregon has adopted some rather stiff laws regarding illegal workers. Which poses some interesting questions:
• Will agribusiness flaut the law and continue to hire illegal workers?
• Will law enforcement enforce the law, and if so, how stringently? Will it focus on finding and tracking down workers, or will it focus on those who hire them (or both)? Will the judicial system enforce the law, and if so, how stringently? Will it focus on both sides equally, or focus on just one?
• Will agribusiness offer higher wages to lure legal workers to pick fields and orchards? Will the consuming public pay higher prices resulting from the higher costs?
• Will agribusiness mechanize wherever possible (perhaps increasing volume while reducing quality)? What factor will increased costs for fuel have on the price of product for sale in the store?
• Will agribusiness fold up and just not produce as much? Will this result in food shortages? If so, how will this contribute to prices and to the rising pressure on food supplies worldwide?
• Will ma and pa start their own truck gardens to supplant (or support) agribusiness. Will small farmers find a market left vacant by agribusiness? Or will "small" farmers also feel the pinch of not having seasonal workers? What is "small", and what role does small farming play in the global food economy?
And so on ...

The following article was pulled from the headlines of CCTimes - Santa Rosa police investigating apparent murder-suicide The Associated Press Article Launched: 06/03/2008 06:40:22 AM PDT
SANTA ROSA, Calif.—Santa Rosa police say the shooting deaths of a 15-year-old girl and a 40-year-old man appear to be a murder-suicide.
A police spokesman says a 13-year-old girl called police Monday saying that her uncle had shot someone and then turned the gun on himself.
When officers arrived at the single-family home they found the 15-year-old and the man dead inside.
Police say the teenage victim was the niece of the man.
Investigators have not released their names, but say no suspects are being sought.
In addition to Monday's deaths, Santa Rosa police are investigating three other homicides since early May.
Maybe it was pulled after the names (Hispanic) were released and people started wondering if Sanctuary City status for Santa Rosa was really such a good idea ...

That's right, the reconquista invasion-supporting traitorous 'representative' voted for AB 2076 which would deny California government entities the single tool they have to detect illegal alien invaders at the workplace. Althought e-Verify is far from perfect, it is a start for the Feds as a tool to root out illegal aliens.

Authorities on a prostitution sting Friday made four arrests.
The operation targeted men seeking prostitutes.
An undercover female police officer was approached by four men in the 1300 block of West Ramsey Street, authorities said. Each suspect ``inquired of sexual favors from the officer and told her what they would pay for those services,'' they said.
Dennis Dwain Baker, 35, of Banning; Cesar Diego Nunez- Perez, of Banning, 33; Joe Moreno, 42, of Indio; and John Anthony Mugler, 26, of Banning were later booked into the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning and released on a notice to appear citation.
POMONA
Officer, dog hurt in car crash
A suspected drunken driver slammed into a police car Sunday, injuring an officer and his police dog, officials said.
Guadalupe Perez, 54, of Pomona was driving without a license and ran a stop sign at Monterey Avenue and Rebecca Street at 2:52 p.m., investigators said. He crashed into the Pomona squad car, causing the police vehicle to strike a 2007 Nissan Titan.
Two people in the Titan complained of pain but declined to be taken to a hospital. Perez tried to run, but officers arrived and captured him.
He received minor injuries in the crash. After being taken to a hospital, he was booked into jail on suspicion of causing injuries in a felony hit-and-run crash and driving while under the influence of alcohol. Police held Perez with bail set at $100,000.
Paramedics took the officer to a hospital, where he was treated and released. His right arm was bruised and he suffered neck, back and shoulder pain, police said. The police dog, Buddy, was taken to a veterinary hospital.

Pair of killers get 50 to life, 25 to life
Two men were sentenced Monday to state prison after being convicted of killing 43-year-old Barry Joseph Knight during a robbery gone bad.
Ariel Lee Bolton and Davion Montae Keel were sentenced in San Bernardino Superior Court.
Bolton, 21, was sentenced to 50 years to life in state prison. Keel received a sentence of 25 years to life, prosecutors said.
A jury found both men guilty of murder July 21.
Keel, 18, apologized to the victim's family. His co-defendant made no statement.
Knight, of San Bernardino, was found shot multiple times about 5 a.m. on July 31, 2005, in front of the Hampton Inn, in the 600 block of West Fifth Street, police said.

Deal means prison for killer of teen
One of four men involved in the gang-related shooting death of 17-year-old Jose Orozco in Highland was sentenced Monday to more than two decades in state prison.
Jonas Cortez Vargas was sentenced to 23 years in state prison under the terms of a plea bargain with prosecutors.
In January, Vargas pleaded guilty to one count of voluntary manslaughter and two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter. He was required to testify as part of his plea bargain.
Vargas, 19, and two other men, Jaime Alfonso Matos, 24, and 18-year-old Richard Salazar, confronted the victim and two of his friends as they walked near 14th and Vine streets on Feb. 9, 2006, according to prosecutors.
It began as a robbery, but a handgun was fired, and Orozco fell to the street.
Matos was sentenced to 90 years to life in state prison for two separate shootings, and Salazar was sentenced to 21 years in state prison.

Deputies seek witness to fatal stabbing
San Bernardino County sheriff's investigators are seeking the public's assistance in finding the people who stabbed a man to death Friday.
On Friday about 8:58 p.m., deputies were called to the 14600 block of Valley Boulevard where they found Hector Mendoza, 29, of Fontana lying in a dirt field behind a liquor store.
Mendoza was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators say Mendoza was drinking with a group of people behind the store before a fight erupted. Initial investigation revealed that he had been stabbed twice or more.
Detectives want to talk to anybody who was with Mendoza when he was stabbed or anyone who knows who he was with that night.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Scott Landen or Sgt. Frank Bell at (909) 387-3589.

Veteran police officer dies of brain cancer
Police Cpl. Kurt Kitterle died Friday of brain cancer.
He was 50.
The veteran officer grew up in Claremont and joined the Army in 1976, where he was a military police officer.
In 1980, Kitterle went to work as a deputy with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
In 1989, he joined the Rialto Police Department, where he worked in patrol, narcotics, on the Street Crime Attack Team, the SWAT team and as a detective.
Kitterle is survived by his wife, Rita; his mother, Joyce; his father, August; two sisters; two sons, Kyle and Chad; and two grandchildren.
Services will be held at Calvary Chapel Church at 1391 W. Merrill Ave. in Rialto on Thursday at 10 a.m. Flowers can be sent to the church or a donation can be made in Kitterle's name to the City of Hope's brain cancer research efforts. Call Akweta Colbert at (626) 301-7280 to contribute to Mike Chen's general brain tumor program.
Kitterle had just helped solve a 2007 homicide after working 40 straight hours and was interviewing the suspect when he felt ill. He was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center for surgery to remove a brain tumor.
Police seeking road-rage attacker
Police are looking for help finding a suspect involved in an assault last month.
At about 12:30 p.m. July 18, the driver of a black Toyota started yelling at a 16-year-old boy merging onto the 10 Freeway from the 215 Freeway, according to a department news release.
The man followed the teen off the freeway at University Street and caught up to him at a red light at Church Street and Citrus Avenue.
The driver got out of his car and walked up to the teen's car with a metal pipe. Then he punched the boy through an open window, knocked him unconscious and drove away.
The attacker was a Latino man in his mid-20s. He was 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighed 140 pounds and had a buzzed head. He was wearing a white tank top and blue shorts.
Anyone with information should call Detective Aneta Deutscher at (909) 798-7688 or dispatch at (909) 798-7681.

The ACLU is taking the Santa Rosa police to task for aiding and abetting ICE in the roundup of illegal alien invadrers.
http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20080906/NEWS/809060374/-1/WEATHER%...
As always, check the comments. What I like is the misinformation and misdirection of the ACLU's argument that police cannot enforce Federal immigration laws. First off, they can, but the funds to train police to deal with immigrants are exhausted for this year. Secondly, the California Constitution gives police powers to stop invasions. As illegal aliens are not immigrants, but rather squatters, the ACLU argument is yet another pipe dream. You know, all smoke and mirrors ....

I'm surprised that there are not invasion-supporting racist groups picketing the jails in San Berdoo after reading this article -
Immigration Screenings at Local Detention Center Net More Criminal Aliens
SAN BERNARDINO — The immigration screening operation at West Valley Detention Center has marked nearly as many criminal aliens for deportation during the first quarter of 2007 as the federal program did in all of 2005, according to officials.
The change of allowing local agencies to do their own immigration screening instead of waiting for a Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent has paid off, according to San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Sheriff Gary Penrod.
In 2005, ICE officials placed a total of 525 people on detainers for deportation. In 2007, Sheriff’s Custody Specialists were able to place 507 on the same detainers in only the first quarter of the year, officials said.
“The difference is that we are here all of the time and ICE agents would come to the jail about once a week,” said Custody Specialist Mary Ostrander.
When a person is arrested and taken to West Valley Detention Center, along with the standard booking process, they will see a custody specialist who will determine if the person should be interviewed to see if they qualify for the deportation process.
The custody specialists run the person's name and social security number or alien number through several databases to determine whether the person is in the country legally or illegally, according to officials.
Officials will even take a look at the criminal record of a person who is a legal resident to determine if they are deportable because of their criminal activity, said Ostrander.
Some of the deportable offenses for lawful residents include child abuse, deviant and violent crimes and drug convictions.
Once that has been established, they are placed on detainer for deportation. After the criminal aliens complete their sentence in the United States, they will then be deported, she said. All of this information will be placed into an Alien File.
“I don't know why we have to spend our tax dollars to house these people,” said Charles Oakley of Victorville. “They should be deported immediately.”
While Ostrander realizes that this may not be a perfect system, the amount of people who are being identified and placed on detainers is a very positive thing.
In November 2005, nine sheriff's officials were chosen to go through a training program to become custody specialists. They began screening in 2006.
During the first year of screening, officials interviewed 2,808 individuals. Of those 1,759 were placed on detainers, according to sheriff’s officials.
Beatriz E. Valenzuela can be reached at 951-6276 or at bvalenzuela@vvdailypress.com.
In 2003, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Department of Homeland Security determined that 55,322 aliens who entered the country illegally were still in the country illegally at the time of their incarceration in federal or state prison or local jail.
Nearly all had more than one arrest.
Eighty percent of all arrests occurred in three states, with about 58 percent in California, 14 percent in Texas and 8 percent in Arizona.

Note that the funds to train the specialist officers to look at the databases are exhausted for this year.

The following editorial appeared in the LA(ughable) Times -
Sticking it to California
As Times staff writer Jordan Rau reported Friday, the Bush administration is demanding that the state change the way it counts illegal immigrants who seek medical and education services through California's Family Planning, Access, Care and Treatment Program. By helping impoverished women avoid unwanted pregnancies, Family PACT has helped reduce abortion rates in the state and saves California and the federal government $1.4 billion in publicly funded maternity care, welfare and schools.
The federal government pays for part of the program -- but not for services to illegal immigrants. The state picks up that cost. Up to now, the state has used a statistical formula to calculate the number of illegal immigrants who use Family PACT. Suddenly, the Bush administration is giving the state 30 days to switch to a system in which each client would be individually vetted for legal residency, a ridiculously inefficient arrangement that would increase the state's costs by an estimated 40%.
But the administration's demand isn't just wasteful; it's duplicitous. Immigration is a responsibility of the federal government, not the state. In fact, the feds should be stepping up to pay the full costs for illegal immigrants. The presence of immigrants in California who lack the legal status to use many public services represents a dual failure on the part of the federal government: It has neither prevented illegal immigration nor enacted comprehensive immigration reform to resolve the conundrum within its borders.
Instead, California, which has no authority to change the situation, picks up the costs and is being called on to do the work of federal immigration agents as well, while the feds are held to no accountability for their own failures. Ordinarily, we'd say this dispute could be resolved amicably with an audit every five or 10 years to confirm whether the state's statistical formula is accurate. But the administration's demand is extortionate. True, the federal government shouldn't be picking up part of the tab for 86% of the women aided by this valuable program. It should be helping to pay for all of them.
I love the twisted logic of the author. For example, by reducing abortion rates, we end up paying waaaayyyyy more money for 'a-n-c-h-o-r b-a-b-i-e-s' and their parents who are allowed to stay here, in opposition to Federal laws that say we should deport the illegal alien parents. And whining because the Federal mandate not to ask citizenship status has been reversed is childish nonsense. PACT can make better use of its limited resources by culling the illegal alien recipients, and when it gets known that citizenship is required to be shown to participate in the program, the illegal aliens will quickly stop making their demands, and the number of vets should drop quickly. Just using eVerify will get most of them! And if I read the numbers correctly in the article 86% of the participants are illegal aliens!

Valley Fever Victim
Here's a sob story from the Freno Bee about a couple where one partner is an illegal alien who married an American citizen who subsequently fell ill. Once you get past the emotional pathos of the situation, consider the costs to keep this couple together.
http://www.fresnobee.com/news/local-news/story/933724.html
As a farm worker, the husband doesn't have adequate insurance to pay for his medical care. The cost of his care is reduced by the presence of his illegal alien wife, who is not working because she cares for him 24 / 7. The cost of a rest home is about $33k annually. The cost of the couple as is might be Sect 8 housing - $12k; food stamps - $9k. The $33k migh be reduced by other taxpayer-supplied funds so they're not listed. We can assume he did not renounce his Mexican citizenship as he moved back there before, so the cost to U.S. taxpayers could be a one-way trip ticket to Mexico by a medi-vac. Now how much do you suppose he paid in taxes while he worked here as a farm tractor driver? And the paper notes he is a citizen, but is he a naturalized citizen or merely a permanent resident (Green Card)?

The 'sanctuary city' of SF was audited by the Feds and have to return over $5m for funds that were misappropriated. The funds came from a grant to offset the cost of illegal aliens in the courts. But since no one is illegal in the City they used the funds for something else and got their hands caught in the cookie jar, again.

More Broken Immigration Laws-
This is really screwy. Federal immigration laws grant a 'juvenile residency' for kids of undetermined citizenship. Sometimes these kids get adopted, then find out that when they become adults they are no longer welcome in the U.S. and have to leave. States don't do an adequate check on the citizenship status before offering the kids for adoption because they are pre-empted by Federal law.

Here's a case in point for allowing local and state law enforcement to enforce immigration laws in California. Paying $300,000 of our state tax monies to keep 1 illegal alien invader alive here is just obscene.
Dialysis dilemma: Who gets free care?
Mark Boster / Los Angeles Times
Kidney dialysis is a case in point: Some states won’t treat illegal immigrants, but California and a few others believe not treating them is far more costly.
By Alan Zarembo and Anna Gorman
October 29, 2008 in print edition A-1
Roughly 2,000 times over the last 17 years, Marguerita Toribio, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, has climbed into a cushioned recliner for the three-hour dialysis treatment that keeps her alive.
She has never seen a bill.
U.S. taxpayers have covered the entire cost of her treatment in California: more than $500,000 and rising, not including a kidney transplant in 1993.
The kidney failed when Toribio briefly moved to North Carolina, which refused to pay for her anti-rejection drugs. She needed to go back on dialysis three days a week to clear toxins from her blood, but North Carolina didn’t cover that either.
The best a social worker could offer was a prepaid plane ticket back to California.
“When I came back here, I said, ‘There is no way I’m leaving for another state again,’ ” said Toribio, now 29, before a technician poked two needles into her arm at the St. Joseph Hospital dialysis center in Orange.
Health services and other benefits available to illegal immigrants can vary by the state. Welfare, prenatal care or in-state college tuition might be available in one place and inaccessible across a state line.
The disparities reflect the nation’s conflicting attitudes toward its estimated 12 million illegal immigrants. With limited federal guidance, states often are left to make their own decisions, frequently shaped by political winds.
Dialysis offers a striking example of the dilemmas – and the occasional absurdities – that result.
The number of patients is not large. In California, illegal immigrants account for about 1,350 of the 61,000 people on dialysis. Their treatment cost taxpayers $51 million last year.
But dialysis stands out because it is often a lifetime commitment. The investment in a single patient over time can easily top $1 million.
Many states draw the line at illegal immigrants. But officials in California, New York and a few other states figure that not treating patients whose kidneys are failing costs more.
That is because patients without regular dialysis frequently end up in emergency rooms, on the brink of death. At that point, federal law requires that they receive dialysis until they are stable enough to be released – usually only to deteriorate again within weeks and return to the ER.
It’s like “rescuing a person from drowning, giving someone a good meal and then pushing them over the side,” said Dr. Laurence Lewin, a kidney specialist in Orange County.
Repeated rescuing not only threatens patients’ long-term health, it generally costs more than routine care, some experts argue. In Texas, where illegal immigrants generally can’t get routine care, some have cycled through the emergency room at El Paso’s Thomason Hospital more than 100 times for life-saving dialysis, said kidney specialist Dr. Azikiwe Nwosu.
Such patients are at increased risk of heart attacks and infections.
“Its heartbreaking,” said Dr. Claudia Zacharek, a kidney specialist who until recently worked in Galveston, Texas. “Your hands are tied.”
In grappling with what services to provide for illegal immigrants, some states tip toward the need to care for the sick. Others see free healthcare as a de facto endorsement of their presence.
Congress tried to establish a balance. In 1986, it barred illegal immigrants from the federal health benefits generally available to the poor, with one notable exception: emergencies. The federal government agreed to share the cost of caring for poor illegal immigrants through state-run Emergency Medicaid programs.
The problem is that the federal definition of an emergency is open to interpretation: an acute condition that, without immediate care, would seriously jeopardize a patient’s health or impair bodily functions, parts or organs.
When does an emergency start? When does it end?
Debates have flared over chemotherapy, life-support and dialysis. In 2002, Arizona Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, cosponsored a bill to provide dialysis and other chronic care needed to prevent expensive ER visits.
It failed. What’s left is an ambiguous policy that the federal government itself has struggled to clarify.
“We do not pay for chronic care for illegal immigrants,” Mary Kahn, a Medicaid spokesperson, said when asked about the issue in early 2007.
If California and other states were using federal funds to help provide routine dialysis, she said, they were mischaracterizing it as an emergency treatment.
More recently, she acknowledged that the federal government has knowingly been sharing the cost in California for years. It has long been left to the states to decide whether to provide routine dialysis, she said.
Many states, including Texas, Colorado and New Mexico, take the position that kidney failure does not automatically qualify as an emergency because patients can survive for weeks without dialysis before toxins accumulate to fatal levels.
Other states have wavered. North Carolina, for example, now provides routine dialysis for illegal immigrants. Conversely, the Georgia Medicaid program stopped paying for dialysis in 2006 amid rising sentiments in the Legislature that illegal immigrants were a financial drain.
“Georgia ain’t California or New York,” said Mark Trail, head of Georgia’s Medicaid program until last month, noting a strong conservative tradition.
The courts haven’t cleared up the issue.
A group of illegal immigrants sued Arizona in 2002 after the state attempted to cut off their dialysis. Heeding arguments that sporadic emergency treatments would jeopardize lives, a judge told the state to keep treating them while the case was decided. In a settlement last year, the state agreed to restore its policy of providing routine dialysis, but the settlement applies only to Arizona.
California’s dialysis policy is largely an economic calculation, said Stan Rosenstein, the administrator of Medi-Cal, the state healthcare program for the poor that covers dialysis for illegal immigrants.
The cost of one routine treatment is about $250. The cost of providing it in the emergency room can easily climb into the thousands of dollars, especially if the patient has to be admitted to the hospital.
To advocates of stricter immigration controls, such comparisons miss the point.
“Taxpayers are on the hook for people who aren’t supposed to be here,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
The fear in many states is that offering routine dialysis will simply lure more sick people from other countries.
“We cannot provide dialysis to the world,” said Ramiro Valdez, a Dallas social worker and medical consultant.
Teresita Aquino, an illegal immigrant from the Philippines, hadn’t intended to stay in the United States, but being rushed to the emergency room with kidney failure eight years ago changed her mind. Now, a free transportation service picks her up three days a week for her dialysis in Torrance.
“If I go home, I won’t be able to afford this,” said Aquino, 56. “No way am I going home.”
In general, however, California’s recent experience does not suggest that free routine dialysis will become an open invitation to illegal immigrants with kidney failure. The number of undocumented immigrants on government-funded dialysis jumped from 835 to 1,327 between 1998 and 2001 but has remained fairly steady since.
Social workers and doctors in Texas and other states said patients may be vaguely aware of the services in California, but they are often too sick to move by the time they understand the gravity of their plight.
Some hospitals in Texas quietly encourage illegal immigrants to move to Houston, where the public hospital district uses local taxes to pay for routine dialysis even though the state Medicaid program does not.
Dr. Karla Vital, a kidney specialist at University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, said her hospital encourages Mexican nationals to return to Mexico. Some hospitals pay for plane tickets back.
Mexico offers dialysis to those who can afford it, but access is far more limited for the poor.
Delia Lopez, a 42-year-old illegal immigrant who recently started dialysis in Los Angeles, said she would rather be with family in Mexico. But she can’t afford the treatment there, she said.
“I have friends who have died because of lack of dialysis,” said Lopez, a longtime diabetic who arrived in the U.S. four years ago while her kidneys were still functioning.
The only alternative to dialysis is a kidney transplant, a procedure California and a few other states provide to illegal immigrants. Last year, 52 of the 1,912 kidney transplants in California were for illegal immigrants.
Several studies show that a transplant pays for itself in three dialysis-free years. Critics, however, say that dipping into the organ pool is a greater outrage because so many citizens are waiting.
“It’s not like you go to Costco and pick up a kidney,” Krikorian said.
Toribio is now seeking a second transplant.
She said she is grateful for the care she has received in California. But Toribio, who works in a textile factory for $8 an hour attaching tags to blankets, towels and bathmats, believes the United States should accept it as the price of a cheap labor pool.
As much as she would like to visit her parents and grandparents in Mexico, she has never returned.
It is not worth the risk of leaving California: She might not be able to get back.

Hispanic Panic in Riverside
The following story should give you pause ...
Deadly Shootout At Calif. Toys "R" Us
Two Men Pull Guns And Shoot Each Other Dead After Wives Squabble
PALM DESERT, Calif., Nov. 29, 2008
Authorities released few details about the mayhem that broke out at the Toys "R" Us store around 11:30 a.m. Friday, sending scared shoppers fleeing. Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez said the fight was not over a toy and that handguns were found by the men's bodies. He refused to say whether the shooting was gang-related.
Witnesses Scott and Joan Barrick said they were checking out of the store when the brawl began between two women, each with a man. The women were near the checkout area, but the Barricks did not think the women had purchases.
One woman suddenly started punching the other woman, who fought back as blood flowed from her nose, said Scott Barrick, 41. The man who was with the woman being punched pulled a gun halfway out of his pocket, then shoved it back in, he said.
"He pulled his gun right next to me. I turned to look for my wife, and she was already hiding," Scott Barrick said.
"I was scared," said Joan Barrick, 40. "I didn't want to die today. I really didn't want to die today, and I think that's what we were all thinking."
The other man pulled a gun and pointed it at the first man but forgot to [bleep] it, Scott Barrick said. The first man tried to run but was blocked by the line of people, then ran back toward the store's electronics section as the other man fired his gun, he said.
The first man reached a dead-end in electronics, turned around and ran toward an exit, pulling his gun and firing back, Scott Barrick said.
"He went up to the cash register, he went to put his hand on the thing and he just went phoomp," he said, indicating the man fell.
He said he did not see what happened to the other man.
Palm Desert Councilman Jim Ferguson said police told him two men with handguns shot and killed each other.
"I think the obvious question everyone has is who takes loaded weapons into a Toys "R" Us?" he said. "I doubt it was the casual holiday shopper."
Ray Turner, 20, said he was two aisles away when two women began shouting and screaming at each other and he had a clear view of the fight until a crowd clustered around them. Both women had children, he said.
"We thought it was just a fight and then someone yelled: `He's got a gun! He's got a gun!' You really couldn't see nothing because there was a crowd," Turner said.
Rafael Gomez, 11, said he and his father had been in the store about 20 minutes before the shooting but were in a nearby Pizza Hut when they saw people pouring out of the store screaming.
"We just saw them running and crying. I was kind of scared," Rafael said. "We got lucky."
Toys "R" Us issued a statement expressing outrage over the violence.
"We are working closely with local law enforcement officials to determine the specific details of what occurred," the statement said. "Our understanding is that this act seems to have been the result of a personal dispute between the individuals involved. Therefore, it would be inaccurate to associate the events of today with Black Friday."
Palm Desert is a resort town about 120 miles east of Los Angeles.

Slow Wheels of Justice Grind On ...
In the dead of night our state 'representatives' passed the California Dream Act that gives in-state tuition to illegal aliens in California. It's not that there are that many aliens taking advantage of the program, but it runs afoul of the federal law that states quite plainly that states cannot offer aliens different rates than all citizens of the U.S. A California Appeals Court thought so too, so the case is pending a conference to see if the Calif Supremes will hear it. If not, the Appeals court prevails, and refunds may be due to ALL OUT OF STATE STUDENTS SINCE 2001!. I hope they don't mind taking an IOU from Mexifornia!

More Propaganda from Invasion Forces
Will common sense prevail? The following article whines about the 'loss' of the right of illegal aliens to suck more taxpayers' funds by being provided lawyers free (to them).
As stated by a member of AILA, (one of the larger contributors to Democrans and Replicrats) Karl Krooth, "... I think there's been something very big taken away ...". Yeah, a good chunk of his livelyhood. He may have to go back to chasing ambulances instead of milking the taxpayers.
Then we get the incessant 'poor victims' argument. They wouldn't be victims if they weren't here illegally. Suck it up. Be adults. Take responsibility for your actions.
This is followed byt the inevitable 'let's-confuse-immigrants-with-aliens" ploy. About the only people who haven't figured out the difference is what passes for main stream media.
'Undocumented farmworkers' at the end of the article is the dead giveaway that this is a piece of propaganda trying to justify the reconquista invasion of our nation.

Initiative to Watch
With 70% + of California's population thinking the illegal alien problem is out of hand and tired of paying for foreign squatters to occupy our lands, this initiative should be a shoe in.
http://www.vdare.com/guzzardi/090109_vfl.htm
I checked the site referenced by Joe earlier this afternoon and the petition was not available for download at that time. But with our 'representatives' in Sacto still unable to figure a way to cut $11B from our state deficit by cutting off benefits to illegal aliens, I expect to see this petition soon in the public for us to sign.

High Cost Of State Sanctuary
It seems emergency room doctors are fed up with the insipid results of our inept legislators in Sacto in recovering the costs of treating illegal aliens in our California emergency rooms. As you may recall, the federal program to repay states for treating illegal aliens expired 3 months ago.
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-erdoctors28-2009jan28,0,7632115....
Remember, $11B of our $44B deficit is attributable to state aid to illegal aliens. Think about that the next time you find yourself in a California emergency waiting room. And you'll have a lot of time to think about it then.

Let's see. State with highest number of illegal aliens and their children. State with one of the more liberal legislatures. And while illegal aliens account for only $11B of the $46B deficit, that is a significant contribution to our debt. Yet not a word from the legislature about curbing benefits to illegal aliens.

Reconquista 'One Bill Gil' Cedillo has, yep, reintroduced SB60, the California Drivers Licenses for Illegal Aliens bill in the CA Senate. Expect Torlakson, Tauscher, DeSaulnier to support this nonsense, again.
And on another front, the governor of Maryland is attempting to reverse the long standing policy of issuing licenses to illegal aliens there. There are only 4 states that currently issue D/L s to illegal aliens.

Bd. of Supes - Eliminate Medical Costs 4 Illegal Aliens
The CCC Board of Supervisors will look at eliminating medical benefits for illegal aliens in their proposed budget on Tuesday, 3/17.
http://64.166.146.155/adv_search_results.cfm?startRow=121&form_type=AG_M...
At the beginning of the agenda when the general considerations of the budget are defined, I noticed they refer to providing services to 'residents', as opposed to 'legal residents'. That single word difference is a multi-million dollar difference just in this county alone. Remember, the reimbursement of hospitals from the Feds for treating illegal aliens expired months ago, so now we are faced with an unfunded mandate to provide medical care to trespassing citizens of other countries AT OUR EXPENSE. Although we cannot deny emergency medical services to illegal aliens, we CAN collect information about their citizenship if we don't base our actions on that information. That could give us the leverage to seek reimbursement from the feds in court, or even from the countries of origin.
After all, we are a sovereign state who has specifically stated that we retain all the Constitutional rights conferred to us as a state, including the right to repel invaders. So, for example, we could have our 911 operators request a D/L number or California ID number when receiving calls from adults. We could request child and family services to request a Ca D/L or ID number when investigating new cases.

Ca Supreme Court - Invasion Not Immigration
This is interesting. The California Supreme Court exerted its state sovereignty rights over an illegal alien minor who was caught smuggling more illegal aliens. It emphasized that immigration is the domain of the federal govenment, but invasion and dealing with illegal aliens is just as much, or more, an enforcement right of the state. In other words, the tired old mantra "... you can't arrest us because only the Feds can enforce immigration ..." is toast.

Medical Costs for 5,500 Illegal Aliens
In a prior article I mentioned the Contra Costa County Bd. of Supes meeting where benefits for illegal alien invaders in Contra Costa were going to be discussed. It's interesting to note in the L.A. Times article that there are 5,500 illegal aliens in the county taking valuable medical services from a population that is rapidly being forced to decide on paying for health care or housing. Now that the Mexican flu has had a 20th case diagnosed in the U.S., it seems insane to maintain this policy of aiding and abetting illegal aliens when 1. we can no longer afford it and 2. it attracts a dangerous population into our midst.
California counties cut healthcare to illegal immigrants
April 27, 2009
Forced to slash their budgets, some California counties are eliminating nonemergency health services for illegal immigrants -- a move that officials acknowledge could backfire by shifting the financial burden to emergency rooms.
Sacramento County voted in February to bar illegal immigrants from county clinics at an estimated savings of $2.4 million. Contra Costa County followed last month by cutting off undocumented adults, to save approximately $6 million. And Yolo County is voting on a similar change next month, which would reduce costs by $1.2 million.
"This is a way for us to get through what I think is a horrible year for healthcare in California," said William Walker, director of Contra Costa Health Services.
Walker said the national ambivalence on immigration policy means that illegal immigrants are living here but without federal or state funding to provide essential medical services to them. Walker, who began his medical career treating undocumented farmworkers, said that deciding to cut their services was difficult.
"This is the community of people we have all relied upon for decades, providing work not only in construction but in service and child care," he said. "We all live and work here together."
Trend could spread
As the recession continues, property tax revenue decreases and the number of newly uninsured patients increases, other county health departments in California and the nation may make similar changes, said Robert Pestronk, executive director of the National Assn. of County and City Health Officials.
"Communities are having to make excruciating decisions about the services they fund," he said.
But Pestronk said that shifting costs isn't the answer.
"This is a balloon that just expands," he said. "If you squeeze it in one place, it's just going to expand somewhere else."
John Schunhoff, Los Angeles County's interim health services department director, said there is no plan to eliminate health services to the county's illegal residents, despite significant projected deficits and concern about further cuts in state funding.
Eliminating illegal immigrants from health services may enable counties to balance their budgets this year but won't solve the problem in the long term, said David Hayes-Bautista, professor of medicine and director of UCLA's Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture.
"We are mortgaging the future to scrape through the present," he said.
And study after study shows that illegal immigrants are less likely than U.S.-born residents to go to the doctor or seek regular medical care, he said.
Anti-illegal immigration activist Barbara Coe said she was thrilled that counties are beginning to restrict services. Coe's group, California Coalition for Immigration Reform, sponsored Proposition 187, the initiative that tried to bar the state from providing public services to illegal immigrants before it died in federal court.
Illegal immigrants "have absolutely no right, No. 1, to be here and, No. 2, to take the tax dollars of law-abiding American taxpayers for anything," she said.
But the policy changes have angered immigrant rights advocates, who argue that restrictions could also cause a chilling effect on legal residents and U.S. citizens in mixed-status families.
"Even those people who qualify to get care won't," said Reshma Shamasunder, director of the California Immigrant Policy Center.
Shamasunder also said that denying healthcare to one segment of the population puts everyone else at risk as communicable diseases go untreated and emergency rooms become even more crowded.
Jose Suarez, who has asthma, said he now plans to go to the hospital if he gets sick. Suarez, 25, was born in Mexico but has been living in Contra Costa County for 10 years.
"It's unfair," he said. "We are real people. I understand they have to cut a few things here and there, but I believe they can do better."
Few options
Marina Espinoza, also an illegal immigrant in Contra Costa County, said she visits a county clinic a few times a month to monitor her diabetes and high blood pressure so that she doesn't end up in the hospital. Espinoza is considering returning to Mexico, where a relative has a lead on a job with health insurance.
"None of us choose to get sick," said Espinoza, 39. "I can't afford the medications. How can I pay for that? It's that or rent."
Before changing its policy on illegal immigrants, Sacramento County took several other steps to reduce healthcare costs, including closing three of its six clinics. But that wasn't enough, said Keith Andrews, chief of primary health services in the Department of Health and Human Services. Andrews said he was left with a choice between firing staff or reducing the number of patients. The county is continuing to treat everyone for communicable diseases.
Andrews said about 4,000 people without legal residency or citizenship were receiving healthcare in the county. Although some are immigrants who have lived and worked in the area for years, he said, others are foreign natives who came to the county to receive free medical treatment.
"This decision is going to impact all of our community," he said. "It's going to create other social problems because of the impact on emergency rooms."
Seeking solutions
In Contra Costa County, which will continue treating undocumented children and pregnant women, community groups mobilized against the proposal. They helped persuade county officials to allocate additional funds to the nonprofit community clinics to help treat the 5,500 undocumented patients who will no longer be eligible for county services.
Those patients will receive primary care at the clinics, but they won't have a place to go if they need to see a specialist, such as for cancer or heart problems.
"It's a major gap," said Soren Tjernell of the Community Clinic Consortium, which represents clinics in Contra Costa and Solano counties.
Yolo County's proposal, which goes before its Board of Supervisors on May 5, would affect about 1,200 undocumented patients. Joseph Iser, who heads the county health department, said he wished that he had another source of revenue to continue services for illegal immigrants.
"Except by helping us balance the budget, it doesn't help us, it doesn't help our citizens, it doesn't help our undocumented," he said. "But if we don't have the money, we just can't afford it."

Obama's proposed budget eliminates the Federal funds to reimburse states for incarcerating illegal aliens. It seems a no-brainer to check our jails and prisons for illegal aliens. If only the clowns in Sactomato had the cajones to pull the aliens from their cells and deposit them at Federal buildings and arrest any Federal employee who tries to release them on state land on charges and 'aiding and abetting an insurrection in the state of California'.

What's Cheaper Than A Bailout?
Enforcing laws against invaders on our public transportation infrstructure, apparently. This story is about an ICE raid in sunny southern Mexifornia on the Old Town Trolley in San Diego. I like how the ICE agents bring along a shrink to identify suspicious behavior in order to avert the charge of 'profiling'. Although I think it ludicrous that of the 22 people on the trolley, only 1 remained aboard after the raid. That's like saying that shooting fish in a barrel is 'profiling'.

DeSaulnier Sell Us Out Again
On Monday DeSaulnier voted to pass SB60 to allow California drivers' licenses to be obtained by illegal alien invaders. The bill would create a separate type of license that would not be acceptable for Federal identification purposes. I haven't read the bill, but I expect to find that the licenses that confer identity privileges will cost more than the ones the illegal aliens are eligible for.
When are these clowns in Sacramento going to figure out that the taxpayers are sick and tired of constantly having their wallets attacked to aid and abet squatters from other countries?
And where is the State Attorney General? I though it was illegal for the legislature to consider any other legislation until the budget is passed. And I sure hope they're not getting paid, either!

The Schwartz Admits Invaders Cost the State
In this article one side of Schwarzenegger's mouth says "... no cost by illegal aliens ...", while the other side says "except for the $4B ...". The more realistic estimate from late last year was $11 - $12 billion.
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics/AP/story/1084527.html
Note his statement that the Feds require states to aid and abet illegal alien invaders. That may be partially true, but could certainly be minimized if the state took a hard stance against the invaders, rounded them up, and dropped them off at the nearest Federal property to be dealt with.

Reuben the Traitor
http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_12561480
Reuben's recent opinion posted in the CCTimes is typical spin to support the invasion of illegal aliens. In this case he hides behind the Schwarz, who, on one hand, says the squatters contribute, and on the other, says they cost the state $5B. He then throws up the phony argument that illegal aliens are the sole reason for the state's financial woes according to unnamed sources. If we're looking at a $40B shortfall and use FAIR's estimate of $11B the squatters cost us, then obviously about 25% of the problem falls in the laps of the loopy liberals supporting the invasion.
He then rants on about the glorious contribution the workers of the world have made here, and how it would bring our country to its knees if we didn't have illegal aliens taking our jobs, depressing our wages, and sapping educational resources with their language demands like the Marxist spinmaster he thinks he is.
Meanwhile the unreported news is that Amnesty II is scheduled to be initiated in Congress June 17th. Don't watch for it in the not-so-mainstream-media.

DeSaulnier Gets Revenge
DeSaulnier votes to turn California into a Mexican state after losing his bid for Congress.

So even though the majority of Californians do not support a second amnesty for illegal aliens DeSaulnier disrepects their sentiments and votes for open borders instead. And he insults immigrants by throwing them in the same category as illegal aliens in the process.
He should be brought up on charges of sedition.

AB 132 was passed that makes it a violation of state law for school authorities to inquire or collect information about the immigration status of any child, illegal alien invader or not, enrolled in Calif. schools.

These clowns actually took an oath of office that they would protect us from invasion.

Violation of State Constitution?
I came across this comment in a topic about aliens becoming POTUS. Our state 'representatives' take an oath to abide by the provisions of the California State Constitution, which contain the following definitions:
The citizens of the State are: (a) All persons born in the State and residing within it, except the children of transient aliens and of alien public ministers and consuls. (b) All persons born out of the State who are citizens of the United States and residing within the State. .... Persons in the State not its citizens are either: (a) Citizens of other States; or (b) Aliens. .... Every person while within the State is subject to its jurisdiction and entitled to its protection. .... Allegiance is the obligation of fidelity and obedience which every citizen owes to the State.

From the California State Constitution -
ARTICLE 3 SEC. 1. The State of California is an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.
ARTICLE 3 SEC. 6. (a) Purpose.
English is the common language of the people of the United States of America and the State of California. This section is intended to preserve, protect and strengthen the English language, and not to supersede any of the rights guaranteed to the people by this Constitution.
(b) English as the Official Language of California.
English is the official language of the State of California.

The reason I rewrote your article is because your English is better than my Spanish, but to persons who speak only English your post could not be understood. So I guessed where you were born, as you seem to hold to the reconquista fable of Atzlan as your reality.
So let's get this straight. You want to return Mexifornia to its proper place before the Conquistadors from Spain killed off most of the indian population and interbred to the point where you have more Spanish (that's a country in Europe of mostly whites) blood than indian. Isn't that about the time of blood sacrifices and cutting out the beating hearts of innocents from the population? And you say the FBI tactics are inhuman.
How do you plan to have Spain return the money the U.S. paid for the portion of its Mexican colony it sold? And c'mon, Mexico has been so corrupt thru the ages it wasn't stable enough to be recognized by other counrties until 1917. And today more people from Mexico are crossing the border illegally because we 'white' Europeans respect our laws and can be relied upon to enforce them, including bribery laws. We're not perfect about that, but we're light-years ahead of Mexico.
You have nothing to offer. You lost the land once, and instead of fixing your own country, Mexico, you insist on bringing the worst your world has to offer into ours. We bought it once, but I'm not buying it again.

On October 30, illegal aliens Juan Hernandez-Monzalvo, 25, and Richard Morales-Marin, 24, were found guilty by an Orange County, FL jury of kidnapping and sexual battery, along with other charges.
On February 5, 2009, the 11-year-old girl was walking to school when she was grabbed by the two Mexican nationals, who forced her into their car at knifepoint. They drove her to an abandoned house where both men took turns raping her.
Because of the girl’s young age and the severe trauma she has suffered, prosecutors brought a therapy dog into the courtroom to help calm her frayed nerves and allow her to testify against her brutal attackers.
The little girl never looked at her assailants, but locked eyes with the gentle Golden Retriever as he lay close to her, and described the ordeal to the courtroom.
“He grabbed my neck and put a knife to my throat,” she said.
She continued: “He told me to get in the car, I was crying. He told me if I didn’t he’d kill me.”
She said that when the pair was finished with her, they ordered her to put her clothes on and get back into the car. They drove her to another area and fled.
She said: “He told me to get out and they drove off really fast.”
The girl then knocked on doors throughout the neighborhood until finding someone to help her.
Sickeningly, one of the men, Morales-Marin, testified that he thought the little girl was a prostitute and that she went with them willingly. He claimed that he did not realize she was only a child until after he and his cohort had both raped her, when he noticed her small backpack.
Both men face up to life in prison and will be sentenced in January.
One of the rapists, Juan Hernandez-Monzalvo, had actually been previously deported to Mexico, but easily made his way back to Florida. He has been arrested many times for driving without a license.
Both Hernandez-Monzalvo and Morales-Marin are suspected of committing other sexual assaults in the area. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office say that DNA evidence has linked Morales-Marin to a recent rape near a local mall.
