Burning Atlanta

I don't know all the numbers. Originally, there were supposed to be 6,000. I think it may have hit that level for a short time. They aren't there to arrest illegals, they're there to do back-up work. Sadly, their numbers have been cut way down and I think the last of them are scheduled out before long.

I thought the initial 500 million out of 1.4 billion was a done deal. Seems Congress still has to approve it. I have very mixed feelings about this. Yes, we are, in large part, the reason they have such a huge problem with drug cartels, etc..  BUT we have to pay for their drug war? Why don't they take all the money they confiscate to pay for helicopters and equipment? In this country, like in my county, if the Sheriff's department makes a large cash seizure they get to keep some/most of it. Trust me, the local deputies all drive nice new cars. They make plenty of seizures from the interstate transportation of drugs and money.

Eww, bet this pisses off their chief and the mayor. Tough crap. Also, his opponent's own police department's rank and file support Arpaio. What a great slap in the face. Maybe the murder of Officer Nick Erfle is still fresh in their minds.

Just wanted to take a step back for a moment and see the big picture. As we know, apprehensions are down along the southern border. They dropped 20% last year and another 17% so far this year. Some credit that to our slowing economy, some credit it to more and more states taking a harder stand against illegals, and some credit tougher enforcement along the border. As most agree, despite how the jobs are lost, jobs are the number one incentive. No jobs, fewer reasons to come.

MY ASS. Yeah, some might but think about this: You and your family live in some shithole. You sneak into this country, find a job at 8 or 10 dollars an hour, which is 8 or 10 times more than you made in your shithole country. Here, there are nice paved streets, street lights, hospitals, schools, good police and fire departments, etc.. Would you want to go back? More likely you'd want your family to join you, here.

I'll never understand her. She fought every initiative against illegals that the voters passed. Then she seemed to get on the program but, now, she's back to ignoring the people's voice thru the legislature. However, this isn't going away, it's probably going to the voters and she doesn't have the power to veto them.

What we're witnessing around the country is that when one locality passes anti-illegal laws, and the illegals leave to adjacent areas, those adjacent areas start talking about the problem. Some pass their own laws targeting illegals. In this instance, illegals are leaving one county and moving to adjacent ones and those counties are trying not to enact new laws.

I wouldn't vote for him if you paid me. I won't vote for anybody that's a known weasel or weak on illegal immigration. Sadly, as we know, it's very difficult to unseat a politician that's held office for a while and the single issue of illegal immigration isn't usually enough to win an election.

I dumped cable TV years ago. Yes, I miss a lot of entertainment and information but I spend so much time on the computer that a TV only prvides background noise. Point being I don't watch Dobbs. I do see some of his takes and parts of his shows via computer. I do know this, the pro-illegals hate his guts. Most of the hatred seems to be that he focuses part of his shows on the insanity around illegal immigration. So sad, too bad. the truth hurts and the pro-illegals hate truth. That's why they dance all around the word "amnesty" and prefer "undocumented" instead of "illegal."

I'm of the opinion that the single WORST thing the pro-illegals ever did was have those massive protests of years past. I've read that many in the pro-illegal movement feel the same. Seeing hundreds of thousands of pro-illegals and illegal aliens marching, as they waved foreign flags, and DEMANDED their "rights" was a little much for the American people to swallow. Personally, I think it pissed a lot of people off. At later marches the word went out to bring more American flags and lay off with the foreign flags but the later demonstrations didn't gain a lot of support. I don't think the next demonstrations will get much support, either. Perhaps with a couple of exceptions. Maybe in a few cities like L.A. Maybe. I've been wrong lots of times but I'm not seeing it.

This is so pathetically sad but it's the pro-illegals first line of defense. Just equate being anti-illegal to being anti-Mexican or anti-Hispanic and forget the FACT that illegals are of every stripe.

This investigation took a long time and, honestly, sounds like they could have arrested many more lower level drug dealers. Obviously, they're targeting the big guys. What a great idea. Set up some commercial buses with special compartments and haul drugs that way.

I've read a couple of stories like this, today. I only recall one instance in the last many months where someone got a serious sentence, 10 years. Typical of law-enforcement, if the perp works with them, even works for them trying to fry bigger fish, they cut them slack.

This group holds a special place in time. This case I'm not going to argue one way or the other, but consider this: In what nations could an illegal alien American's family, a member killed in a terrorist attack, see anything like the outpouring of support as shown to these people?

Save the drama for yo' momma. More "boo-hoo, OMG!!," reporting. Saturation enforcement is nothing new. It just has all the illegals and their supporters in an uproar because they've had a free ride for so long. Check out the video on the article. Uhh, how come nobody speaks English?

EXCELLENT. A good sign. Enforcement and the laws are working, illegals aren't working or, as in this case, can't find work.

This is a good thing. I've posted about some area of the border where smugglers aren't even federally prosecuted for hauling up to 500 pounds of marijuana. Commony, illegal Mexicans are simply IDed and sent back. OTMs may be held before being deported to their home countries. Some areas started prosecuting illegals but were targeting those that had priors. Those areas have seen/are seeing a reduction in crosseros. So, initially, the prosecutions strain the sustem because they're trying to prosecute more people BUT, as word spreads, there will be fewer illegals to prosecute.

I've heard this excuse a few too many times. "Illegal immigration is a federal matter and we're not getting involved." The reality is that our federal government has done a non-job on illegal immigration for a very long time. That's why there's a growing list of states and localities that are stepping up to the plate. Some dodge the issue claiming they can't afford to get involved, but others see that they can't afford not to get involved.

Breaks my heart. The reality is, it's ALWAYS about the money. Any law-enforcement officer that takes bribes to allow criminal behaviour should be locked up. She should have quit rather than give every officer a black eye. We have too many that commit all sorts of crimes from murder to rape to anything you can think of.

I've seen more studies on the costs of immigrants and illegal aliens than I can remember. Usually, I avoid them because there seems to be a new study every week and it's hard to find an unbiased source. Beyond that, as most know, I don't really base a reward program for illegals on whether or not they are a dollar plus or minus.

Accused filth

Vargas was pronounced dead at the scene. Shortly after the shooting, a Gainesville Police Officer spotted an orange pickup truck traveling south on Atlanta Hwy. The officer took the driver into custody and turned him over to Sheriff's Investigators for questioning.

Tepanca, has been charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. A 287g detainer has also been placed on him due to his immigration status. He is currently being held without bond at the Hall County Jail.

Another senseless murder ALLEGEDLY at the hands of an illegal. I read some of this story the other day but didn't post it because they didn't clearly identify either assailant as an illegal. Even now, they say nothing about the immigration status of the guy that's in custody.

NOT said, and is often the case, is if the victim is, also, an illegal. It doesn't really matter as far as the crime is concerned. My only point being that often illegals prey on other illegals.

I just finished reading several BS pieces from pro-illegal/pro-plantation owner writers. One piece was at the Washington Post. For those of you who don't know, there are certain newspapers that are VERY agenda driven on the issue. Typically, they spew all the standard playbook pro-illegal rhetoric I've heard a million times. And you know what destroys their arguments? FACTS. They hate facts. They, especially, hate facts that rip their arguments to pieces. They avoid those facts at all cost. I did take the time to email one writer, whose piece appeared in the Atlanta paper, and ripped him to shreds, with the FACTS.

The drill goes something like this: The fed isn't paying for illegals that are being held in local custody for local crimes. They only pay if the illegal is being held awaiting ICE and, even then, the fed isn't vey good at compensating the locals. So, the local communities are having to eat a lot of the costs. South Carolina is looking at 3 regional holding facilities for illegals to get them on the fed's back and off of theirs. Whatever it takes, whatever works. But my slant is that the fed should be absorbing the costs associated with holding, housing and feeding illegals. It should not fall on the state unless they are in state custody for a state crime. And, even then, the fed should comp them something. If the fed had caught the slimeballs then they wouldn't be running around committing more local crimes.

Excellent, BUT this should be the law of the land. EVERY jail in this nation should screen EVERY arrestee and report them to ICE if they are illegally in this country. My problem with Georgia's laws is they only screen and report those arrested for felonies and DUI. Why not everyone?

This is great news and a huge slap in the face to Chief Bratton and other political candy asses.  The part of Special Order 40 that riles many is that the police can't do jack about an illegal, say one that the officer knows was deported, unless there's another crime involved AND that goes for those stopped for other infractions. Cop pulls a green Buick over. The passengers are all known illegal gang-bangers that have been previously arrested. The officer can't do jack. He/she isn't even supposed to notify ICE. It's only AFTER arrests are made for certain offenses do the police make note that the arrestee is an illegal then it's on the detectives going over the reports to teletype ICE.

This is sickening but they're not the only ones. This is the mentality of our government and many pro-illegals. A scum businessman trying to save money by hiring illegals doesn't give a damn about their background. They don't screen them to weed out rapists, murderers, child molesters, etc.. because they don't care. All they care about is getting good, CHEAP, labor. My 2 cents: If an employer knowingly hires an illegal, and that illegal commits a crime, then the employer should be charged as an accomplice to that crime.

Generally, I stay away from some stats because they change everyday. The economic studies on illegals get old. Sometimes I really don't care because, no matter if they are a dollar plus or minus to this country, I'd still advocate tossing them.
