Note to Sheriff Joe Arpaio : Don’t worry about the Mexican drug cartels putting a price on your head. You have the strongest, wealthiest and toughest cartel from Chicago after you now. The Obama cartel.

Just who do you think you are Joe Arpaio? Aren’t you a government employee? Where do you get off actually doing your job and enforcing the laws of America? I guess no one told you that as a government employee you not are required to do anything and you are making the rest of the government lackeys look bad.

Now you have the Obama cartel after you and once they put the word out and order the hit, there is no stopping them. They will pass laws to make sure you disappear.

In all seriousness, unless there is evidence of impropriety, there is nothing the justice department which is clearly being directed by president Obama, can do about Arpaio enforcing the laws of the land.

The Justice Department has been investigating the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for alleged civil rights violations. Officials set the deadline following a meeting Tuesday with Arpaio’s attorneys in Washington.

The Department has outlined 51 requests for documents and information on how the Sheriff’s Office conducts traffic stops and searches, trains new recruits and treats prisoners held in county jails. Officials also asked for access to arrest records from Jan. 2008 and to interview officers and inmates at county facilities.

I’ll tell you how he treats his prisoners. He treats them like the animals that they are. Keep in mind that Sheriff Joe Arpaio has the lowest return rate of criminals to his jails in America. This would mean that he is doing something right.

All of this saber rattling by Obama is just another attack on Arizona and their ability to fight illegal immigration. This is a direct attempt by a sitting president to usurp the rights of the state of Arizona and should be treated as an act of treason by the great state of Arizona.

You gotta love Mexicans here in America that are busy continually trying to defend their massive invasion of the U.S. by claiming that they are “Hard working, industrious people” when the reality of the situation is that Mexican nationals now make up 36 percent of the California prison population.

I’m sure that the majority of these people are, with the exception of breaking our immigration laws, law abiding citizens, but you can’t ignore the facts. The facts are that a lot of people coming over the border to the south are nothing more than common criminals.

If saying the obvious makes me a racist, well then I am a racist. Let the bashing and name calling begin. Joe Pyloric

MEXICO CITY—Gunmen from a drug cartel appear to have massacred 72 migrants from Central and South America who were on their way to the U.S., a grisly event that marks the single biggest killing in Mexico’s war on organized crime.

Mexican marines discovered the 72 bodies—58 men and 14 women —on Tuesday after the lone survivor of the massacre, a wounded migrant from Ecuador, stumbled into a Navy checkpoint the previous day and told of being shot on Monday at a nearby ranch, Mexican officials said on Wednesday.

When the marines went to investigate, they were met with a hail of gunfire from cartel gunmen holed up at the ranch, which sits 90 miles from the U.S. border. One marine and three alleged gunmen died during a two-hour battle, which ended when the gunmen fled in a fleet of SUVs, leaving behind a cache of weapons.

The Ecuadorean migrant told investigators that his captors identified themselves as members of the Zetas drug gang, said Vice Adm. Jose Luis Vergara, a spokesman for the Mexican navy.

An Ecuadorean citizen escaped from a remote ranch in eastern Mexico and stumbled wounded to a highway checkpoint, where he alerted Mexican Navy marines. One marine was killed in a firefight after marines went to investigate the ranch.

“This illustrates that organized crime has no limits or moral qualms about what they are prepared to do,” Alejandro Poire, head of the government’s national-security council, told a news conference.

The incident highlights the extent to which Mexican drug gangs, which used to focus exclusively on ferrying narcotics such as cocaine to the U.S., have diversified into other lucrative criminal activities such as human smuggling and extortion.

At the going rate of $5,000 to $7,000 charged by smugglers to cross the U.S. border, the 72 people represented about $500,000 to the drug gang, said Alberto Islas, a Mexico City-based security consultant. The gang may have simply killed the migrants after they refused to give them more money than they had already given them, he said.

Mexican officials said they didn’t know why the migrants—believed to be from El Salvador, Honduras, Ecuador and Brazil—were killed. Mexican newspapers, citing an unnamed federal official, speculated that the migrants were killed for either refusing to give the drug gang more money to cross the border, or for declining to join the gang’s criminal activities as drug couriers, gunmen or prostitutes.
Mexico’s War on Drugs.

Nearly 23,000 people have died in drug-related violence since 2006, according to the government, with northern border states experiencing the worst of the violence.

A study by Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission published last year found that 9,758 migrants from Central and South America had been kidnapped by presumed drug gangs between September, 2008 and February, 2009. The commission found that in many cases, government officials and police worked with criminal gangs in carrying out the abductions.

The commission said that the number of migrant kidnappings could be as high as 18,000 a year. It estimated the average ransom at $2,500—making the business worth an estimated $50 million a year..

Some 28,000 people have died in Mexico’s war on organized crime since President Felipe Calderón took power in December 2006 and declared an all-out battle against powerful drug-trafficking gangs that were gaining immense power and challenging the Mexican state.

The death toll is rising fast, including more frequent discoveries of mass graves. In May, authorities discovered 55 bodies in an abandoned mine near Taxco, a colonial-era city south of Mexico City known for its silver. Last month, another 51 bodies were found near a trash dump outside the northern city of Monterrey.

Both of those mass graves were sites where drug gangs disposed of rivals killed during a period of weeks or months. This latest incident could be the single biggest instance of bloodshed from a Mexican cartel to date, experts said.

Tamaulipas has become one of Mexico’s bloodiest states since the dominant local cartel, the Gulf cartel, split with its former enforcers, the Zetas. Mexican officials say that they believe the Zetas, initially formed by Mexican army forces who defected to the other side, are responsible both for the June assassination of a leading gubernatorial candidate in Tamaulipas and the recent killing of a local mayor in neighboring Nuevo Leon state.

The Zetas thrive on the publicity from their killings, said George Grayson, a Mexico expert at the College of William and Mary. “This kind of thing helps them burnish their image as the meanest, most sadistic, cruelest organization—not only in Mexico but in the whole of the Americas. That helps them raise money from targets of extortion, who are terrified of them,” he said.

Despite the dangers faced by migrants, desperate people from poor countries will continue to try to cross into the U.S., providing more opportunities for exploitation by gangs such as the Zetas, according to Williams Murillo, Ecuador’s former minister for migrant affairs.

Mr. Murillo, who now gives legal advice to Ecuadorean migrants, said he recently came across an Ecuadorean woman who crossed into Mexico with her young child. The child was taken by the Zetas who are now demanding a ransom, according to Mr. Murillo.

“Sadly, stories like this don’t stop people from risking their lives to try to get to the U.S. They just don’t see enough opportunity here in Ecuador,” Mr. Murillo said.

At least four of the bodies discovered were those of Brazilians, according to a spokeswoman at Brazil’s foreign ministry in Brasilia.

Brazilian consular officials in Mexico, she said, would soon travel to the site where the bodies were found to help try to identify the victims and determine whether any more of the bodies were those of Brazilians.

Can you imagine this? An illegal alien complaining and suing a family because they make her work? House keeping is yet another career that has been decimated by illegal immigration.

These people call themselves “domestic workers?” How can they be domestic when they are an import? The irony here is that if I buy a Cuban cigar, I can be arrested for having contraband cigars. But I can hire an illegal alien and work them like dogs.

I have been saying for years that illegal aliens are nothing more than modern day slaves. Big and small businesses and home owners take advantage of these people. They are treated mike slaves and paid a slaves wage.

Like gardeners, painters, almost all of the construction industry and many other jobs that used to pay good money, illegal aliens have taking these once good paying jobs and made them peon jobs. House keeping used to pay good money.

These people have done this to themselves. They chose to break American laws and come here. They chose to become housekeepers and work for a slaves wage. Now that they have done this to themselves, they want to sue?

I have a novel idea. GO HOME! If you don’t like a bunch of cheap Americans taking advantage of your immigration status then go back the the country from whence you came and immigrate here legally. JD

It goes without saying that proponents of illegal immigration into America will do or say anything to keep the takeover of America going. They want America to be a third world shitbox like the one the countries that they come from.

Don’t believe me? Take a trip into Pomona or Ontario. Pomona used to be like Hollywood east. Big bands used to play the local ballrooms and people would come from miles around to see the place.

Now Mission and Holt Avenues are nothing but used car lots, taco stands, pawn shops and liquor stores. Graffiti is everywhere. Crime is better today but is largely out of control.

Houses in South Pomona resemble housing in Mexico. Bars on every window. Security doors on every door. Homes are painted all of these crazy colors that look like someone vomited in Technicolor.

So when I hear this nonsense about how they come here looking for a better life, I call bullshit. These people refuse to assimilate. They refuse to speak English. They refuse to become part of the fabric that makes up America, that makes us all American.

This is what the proponents of illegal immigration can’t seem to understand. People are pissed off at them because they come to America to live but behave as if they are still in Mexico. JD

As Republican members of Congress press for changes to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, preventing automatic citizenship for babies born to illegal immigrants, opponents insist the debate is not really about babies.

Instead, they say it is about politics and votes – not fixing the immigration system.

Still, the debate could resonate in Texas, where not only 1.5 million illegal immigrants are estimated to reside but at least 60,000 babies are added to their households annually.

Parkland Memorial Hospital delivers more of those babies than any other hospital in the state. Last year at Parkland, 11,071 babies were born to women who were noncitizens, about 74 percent of total deliveries. Most of these women are believed to be in the country illegally.

State Rep. Rafael Anchía, D-Dallas, accused Republicans of using the births to generate an explosive election issue.

“They’re pulling the pin on the immigration grenade,” he said. “It’s all about the November elections and continuing to use the immigration issue as a wedge to win votes this fall.”

But to Republicans, the emerging national debate is long overdue, considering that millions of immigrants have been living illegally in this country for years.

“They’re violating our law, and we’re giving their children the benefit of U.S. citizenship,” said state Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, whose 2009 bill in the Legislature would have challenged the birthright of immigrant children.

That bill died in committee, although Berman has vowed to file another version next year that would prohibit the state from issuing birth certificates to the children of “illegal aliens.”

“I’ve checked the Congressional Record for when the 14th Amendment was written, and the author was quoted as saying that it did not apply to foreigners,” he said. “There’s no question in my mind about it.”

A federal judge overturned California’s gay-marriage ban Wednesday in a landmark case that could eventually force the U.S. Supreme Court to confront the question of whether same-sex couples have a constitutional right to wed.

Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker made his ruling in a lawsuit filed by two gay couples who claimed the voter-approved ban violated their civil rights.

Gay couples waving rainbow and American flags outside the courthouse cheered, hugged and kissed as word of the ruling spread.

“This is a victory for the American people. It’s a victory for our justice system,” said former U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson, who delivered the closing argument at trial for opponents of the ban.

He said the ruling “vindicates the rights of a minority of our citizens to be treated with decency and respect and equality in our system.”

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger also praised the ruling as an important step toward equality and freedom for all people.

Despite the favorable ruling for same-sex couples, gay marriage will not be allowed to resume immediately. Judge Walker said he wants to decide whether his order should be suspended while the proponents of the ban pursue their appeal in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Big surprise here. The great efficiency that the federal government works at never fails to amaze me. JP

The Virginia man suspected in a drunken-driving crash that killed a Catholic nun in Prince William County this weekend is an illegal immigrant and repeat offender who was awaiting deportation and whom federal immigration authorities had released pending further proceedings, police said Monday.

Carlos Montano, a county resident, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and drunken driving. Mr. Montano had been arrested two other times on drunken-driving charges, and on at least one of those occasions county police reported him to federal authorities.

“We have determined that he is in the country illegally. He has been arrested by Prince William County Police in the past,
said police spokesman Jonathan Perok.

He said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was notified at the time of one of those arrests. “At the time of this incident, the accident yesterday, he was in the deportation process and was out on his recognizance for court proceedings.”

The crash at around 8:30 Sunday morning killed Sister Denise Mosier and injured two other nuns as they were driving to a retreat at the Benedictine Monastery in Bristow, Va. The two injured nuns were in critical but stable condition late Monday, according to St. Gertrude High School in Richmond run by the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia.

Mr. Montano was being treated for injuries he received in the crash and was expected to be released from the hospital into police custody as early as Monday evening.

Messages left with ICE and the Homeland Security Department were not returned, but the incident raises questions about the agency’s policy of detaining only some illegal immigrants awaiting deportation.

“I have been saying for months now that this administration’s new policy of concentrating almost solely on ‘criminal aliens,’ and not enforcing the laws by deporting known illegal aliens, would have devastating consequences. Now, we see the tragic results this ‘virtual amnesty’ policy of the Obama administration has caused,” said Rep. Harold Rogers of Kentucky, the ranking Republican on the House Appropriations homeland security subcommittee.

This is exactly why Americans are so pissed off about illegal immigration. The irony of the situation is that Mexicans just don’t get it. If you want to piss off Americans from all walks of life, run around waving the Mexican flag.

Its bad enough that we have to turn on the television and see 30 channels broadcast in Spanish, but to add insult to injury, Mexicans run around proclaiming the greatness of their corrupt and morally bankrupt country to anyone that will listen.

I have said it a million times and will say it again. If Mexico is such a great place, than why are you all here in America? If the United States were to give you back the south western region on America and make it a part of Mexico again, it would just become another corrupt part of Mexico.

What purpose would any of that serve the Mexicans that are here in America sucking off of the American teat?

If any of the above were to happen, the Mexicans that are here in America would have to move farther north to continue sucking off of the American teat.

If America were to give the land back to Mexico, the Mexicans here would be at a loss to figure out how to survive without the American tax payer footing the bill for their gigantic four wheel drive trucks and shanties in the ghetto.

So shut the hell up already. I have news for you idiots. Here in California, when an illegal alien commits a crime, they do jail time and then are promptly deported back to Mexico.

So all of your pissing and moaning and carrying on with your dopey flags are serving no purpose. Grow a brain and assimilate already like the rest of the immigrants of America that now call themselves AMERICANS!
