Eleven year old girl, impregnated by an 18 year-old illegal alien. Involved in the drug trade, the apprehended alien admitted to raping the child. Well, that sort of thing's bound to happen, due to "cultural misunderstandings", as a former Mexican Consul in Portland once explained to us.
Three folks who are only here to do the jobs that Americans won't do got busted in Iowa for trout fishing. Well, they weren't actually fishing, like with a hook and line or anything. Nope, these enterprising non-citizens attached empty beer cans to a net and went trawling.
It's probably just a "cultural misunderstanding".
Fortunately, alert authorities noticed the activity, and seized the trout, beer, and a van with Wisconsin plates, among other stuff. The culprits have been charged with 27 violations, and Immigration has been notified.
It appears that the recent crackdown on illegal aliens has been working. This is bad news for Democrats and other amnesty supporters, such as Juan McCain and El Gordo del Smitho. 
After all, according to their theology, there's nothing we can do to prevent folks from running across our borders. It seems that there's a bit of a difference between the facts and their faith.
Certainly, the latest May Day "protests" have been a bit more subdued. A couple of years ago, thousands marched in the streets, demanding "rights" and other stuff normally accorded only to U.S. citizens and legal residents.
It sure got quiet, all of a sudden. A U.S. crackdown is causing the longest and most significant drop in illegal migration from Mexico since the Sept. 11 attacks.
All it takes is enforcement of our laws.
If you want to vote in Indiana, you need a valid photo I.D. Despite protestations by Democrats and liberal "civil rights groups" that such a draconian measure would deter poor, older and minority voters from casting ballots, the Supreme Court held that a requirement of valid identification disenfranchises no one: The law "is amply justified by the valid interest in protecting 'the integrity and reliability of the electoral process,'" Justice John Paul Stevens said in an opinion that was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Anthony Kennedy. Unsurprisingly, Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David Souter dissented. The ACLU is "extremely disappointed" by the decision, which comes a week before the Indiana primary elections. Any time the ACLU is disappointed, it's a win for Americans.
Closer to home - and isn't this just the pits? - a poor Portland lawyer lives with "perpetual jet-lag" because every few weeks, he boards a plane in Portland and flies to the Middle East to meet with a high-profile Saudi client who cannot enter the United States because he faces charges here of financing terrorism.
Golly, there's a heart-wrenching tale. Poor ol' Thomas Nelson is afraid that the US government is monitoring his phone and email simply because his client is charged with financing terrorism. Good grief, you'd think that the poor guy was in league with a serial killer! Across the country, and especially here in Oregon, it seems, lawyers who represent suspects in terrorism-related investigations complain that their ability to do their jobs is being hindered by the suspicion that the government is listening in. Let's see: they have no proof, yet complain that they can't do their jobs because they suspect that the government is paying attention to their clients - who happen to be suspected of financial or other involvement in terrorist activities. Well, you can see why the lawyers would be complaining. Souter and Ginsburg must be absolutely livid.
Say this fast five times: Pilgrim's Pride Poultry Plants. It's a tongue-twister, for sure. But raids on the five plants, looking for illegals and identity thieves, netted 300 for processing, and the count's climbing.
So why isn't the company facing any charges? That would be because they're a responsible employer. They ran checks on the employees, and a bunch of them came up dirty. So PP went to ICE and told them that it appeared that there were a number of cases of identity theft at their Arkansas plant. Further investigation revealed that the problem was a tad more widespread than anyone had thought.
Raids rounded them up; additional raids were conducted at a number of unrelated businesses, and some of those owners and managers are going down because unlike the folks at PP, these folks were complicit. All in all, it's been a pretty decent day for citizens - though a bit of a bummer for illegal aliens and their willing accomplices.
There are around 9 billion reasons why the feds haven't been taking the issue of illegal aliens particularly seriously. They'd rather take the chance that nasty diseases can be headed off and that other health and security issues can be resolved. Doing otherwise risks losing the money. Still, it's worth noting that money flowing from the USA back "home" is presently Mexico's single largest income source.
Then, there are the actual immigrants - in this case, Somalian. Take a look at her story, and then come back and explain why we should accommodate illegal aliens.
Heavy involvement in the drug trade has made the unassumingly-named Drew Street in Los Angeles one of the most notorious in in the city. Shootouts aren't uncommon. And why? Two word: illegal aliens.
An illegal immigrant and mother of 13, Leon has a lengthy arrest record and three convictions for drug-related crimes. The Leons -- and members of several other immigrant families on Drew Street whom authorities have charged with criminal acts -- hail from the town of Tlalchapa in the state of Guerrero, which has a reputation as one of Mexico's most violent regions. Police estimate that dozens of members of these extended families belong to the Avenues gang.
"It's been a safety net for them to rely on each other -- brothers, cousins and all," said LAPD Lt. Robert Lopez. "The likelihood of someone within your family ratting you out is really low."
Anybody who claims that illegal aliens aren't a problem is a complete moron.
Of course, Americans need to enable illegal aliens, otherwise, you might be called a "racist" or other bad names. After all, you don't know that they're here illegally, so you base your opposition to such centers strictly upon skin color. Therefore, you're a racist.
Daniel's kind of proven that such arguments are specious. Leftists try to demonize him, but I've been out to this site, with him, and Daniel's unfailingly polite to everyone he meets. In fact, he's so polite that illegal aliens willingly interact with him - on camera.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer
"feels" that matching Social Security numbers to names would likely impose hardships on businesses and their workers. Therefore, he ruled, the Department of Homeland Security can't require employers to fire employees whose names don't happen to match the SSN that they fed to the employer.
Fortunately, DHS is appealing, and given that most "rulings" coming out of San Francisco are overturned because they're stupid and illegal, this one should be fast-tracked to the dumpster.
"We are serious about immigration enforcement. The no-match rule is an important tool for cracking down on illegal hiring practices while providing honest employers with the guidance they need," DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff said in a news release.
Ever wonder what happens to the money that those hard-working illegal aliens send back home? Well, since some estimates peg the Mexican illegal component at 60%, let's look there:
Mexico is a huge and lucrative market for Coca-Cola. In 2006, Mexico was Coke's second largest market behind the United States. An average Mexican family spends nearly $500 a year on soda products, according to market estimates.
That's a lotta lettuce heads and champaign grapes. They're only here to pick those, you know - doing the jobs Americans won't do, and all that. You might figure that if they come from a poor and impoverished place, sending money back home to ensure their relatives' survival, then Coca-Cola wouldn't be high on the priority list. You might be wrong.
