Turning Criminals into Victims By excusing criminal behavior and turning lawbreakers into victims, advocates for illegal aliens encourage corruption and subvert the rule of law. In 2008, former Rep. Chris Cannon described the December 12, 2006, raids on the Swift meat packing plant that resulted in the arrest of 147 illegal aliens on identity theft charges as "inappropriate" and "politically motivated" and he expressed concern that the arrests had ruined Christmas for the illegal aliens and their families.50 No mention was made of the [real] victims, including a person who was in a motorcycle accident and was denied disability payments from the Social Security Administration because the records showed him continuing to work hundreds of miles from his actual residence; nor was any concern expressed for a police training officer in Los Angeles County who was pursued by the IRS for $60,000 in taxes owed by individuals using his stolen SSN, and who was unable to buy a home because his credit rating had been destroyed.51 Following a raid at the Agriprocessors, Inc., plant in Postville, Iowa, that resulted in 297 individuals pleading guilty to identity theft and other crimes, the media and Congressional focus was not on the crimes committed, but on the hardships faced by those who were benefiting from the crimes. Iowa Republican Congressman Tom Latham's spokesman, James Carstensen, told reporters that Latham "views the raid as a blow to families seeking a better life and for the community, which is suffering economically."52A Wall Street Journal editorial made no mention of the victims of the illegal aliens arrested in Iowa but it did ask if homeland security officials didn't have anything better to do than to raid businesses that hire willing workers. The editorial encouraged Americans to keep things in perspective pointing out that there are only about seven million illegal immigrants in the workforce (5 percent of the total). The Journal then asked if this (seven million people using fraudulent documents and, in many cases, the stolen identities of American citizens) is a big enough problem to justify requiring employers to verify the identity of the persons they are hiring. Its conclusion was that it wasn't.53 During a Congressional hearing on the arrests of hundreds of illegal aliens for identity theft, Democrats focused on the impact that the arrests had on the perpetrators, their families, and the community. No mention was made of the victims. Illegal aliens were absolved of their criminal activity because they "apparently had no idea what a Social Security number or card even was. It may have been the employer tagging them with the number so it could hire them," according to Zoe Lofgren, chair of the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration.54 This permissiveness, corruption, and disregard for the rule of law has reached such a level that when a legal resident from Honduras who had her identity stolen by an illegal alien contacted 50 senators, 30 government departments, and two governors none of them were willing to help her. The victim continued to receive notices for back taxes on income that she had not earned from the IRS and collection agencies hounded her day and night for unpaid medical, furniture, and cell phone bills. Ultimately, she had to hire a private detective who found the identity thief and finally forced the police to take action.55 --------------- If you found this article interesting, read the full article at: Illegal, but Not Undocumented: Identity Theft, Document Fraud, and Illegal Employment

Did you ever wonder where the money for things like the subversion of the world's immigration laws may come from?
It seems to me as long as we allow people to print up fiat money there will be no place in the world where freedom can flourish. If the Globalist oppose your efforts, paid for with real hard earned money, all they have to do is fire up the presses and shovel the money to any group that will oppose you. Not only that but it seems they do it in such a way that the money to achieve THEIR goals is borrowed from them. Then we pay interest to a group outside of our country, like the Federal Reserve, on the creation and borrowing of OUR OWN money. IN ESSENCE THEY BEAT US WITH OUR OWN STICK!

With yet another path to citizenship in this nations future, we had better take careful notice of the consequences? Without any doubt to process 13 to 20 million plus illegal immigrants is, according to Robert Rector of the reputable non-profit Heritage Foundation $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS. It's an accumulation of procedures necessary to investigate backgrounds of all those who come out of the proverbial shadows. But if and when another of these AMNESTIES is forced past the American voters, millions more will be equally ready to head for America, expecting a ninth Amnesty. The major one in 1986 was rife with fraud and was never enforced, that's why our country has uncontrolled illegal immigration?
If we command of the Democratic leadership who originally tried to kill E-Verify, such as Sen. Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, we have an ongoing chance of combating the illegal immigrants of stealing further into the workplace. With Obama admitting that unemployment is farther on the rise, why would they be entering discussions of forcing another Amnesty down our throats. E-Verify is rapidly catching on and accelerating in the workplace and should not be denied to the American worker. CALL YOUR SENATOR AND REPRESENTATIVE AND DEMAND It should be fully funded, permanent and an a Federal identity check for everyone in working America? NUMBERSUSA, CAPSWEB for more details. ICE has a phone number to call when suspicious activity is determined in the Factory, office, restaurant or any industry.

Invasion. just how many times do we need to give out free citizenship to illegal aliens. This country has done this twice in the past. It seems that when a person comes here illegally, all he or she needs to do il lay low until the next amnesty program.There should be no more free rides for illegal aliens.
We need to get tough. Any person here illegally should be deported and lose all future chances at visiting and citizenship. Any child born in this country of an illegal should no longer receive automatic citizenship. The citizenship should be for the country of origin of the parent. All children that have been born in this country in the past by an illegal parent should have that citizenship revoked and deported. We are in this situation due to a phrase called "Political Correct". That means to me, that even the illegals are not to be put down or talked about badly. Just how many illegals have received amnesty in the past and now are able to vote and have still not even bothered to learn English? They are gaining a stronghold on this country. I am tired of having to be politically correct.

All children that have been born in this country in the past by an illegal parent, during the last 75 years, should have that citizenship revoked and deported.

Just how many illegals have received amnesty in the past and now are able to vote and have still not even bothered to learn English? They are gaining a stronghold on this country. I am tired of having to be politically correct. Everyone that wants to become a citizen or even visit this country must learn English. They must be able to not only speak it but must also read it. There are too many here that don't know the language and many employers are requesting employees to learn a second language to accommodate the individuals that refuse to learn English. Just when do we stop bending over backwards for the illegal aliens? As for politicians, (no matter what office,whether elected or appointed) they should now be required to be native born where the parents are in this country legally and those parents were citizens. Just being here with a green care will nor suffice.

They refuse to abide by our Constitution, refuse to enforce our Immigration Laws and refuse to honor their Oath of Office!
Our Government, past & present, Republican & Democrat, have allowed the invasion of 20 to 30 million criminals and uneducated peons which is the largest invasion of any Nation, at any time, by any means & in direct violation of Article IV, Section IV of our Constitution.
This refusal to abide by our Constitution or enforce our Immigration Laws should be cla*sified as Treason of the most foul kind, & as grounds for impeachment & trials for Treason!
Not only have they allowed the invasion, they force American tax payers to pay Billions on Billions of dollars to provide Welfare, Prison cells, Educate the invaders numerous children, and free medical care, at the same time the invading horde break numerous laws and ma*sive document fraud, & are destroying our schools, hospitals, communities, culture and standard of living while Robbing, Raping, Killing & a*saulting American Citizens at an rate the terrorist can only dream about.
Recent statements in Mexico from both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary something needs to be done. "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers, and civilians," she said.
But no mention, concern or care that their refusal to stop the Ma*sive Invasion of Illegal Aliens pouring across our borders or enforce our immigration laws that causes an estimated 25 Americans deaths per day and 10,s of thousands victims of a*sault, Robberies, Rapes, Identify thief, and other a*sorted crimes committed by the invading horde of Illegal Aliens from Mexico on American citizens each year!
It is a telling indictment & shows their Empathy & Compa*sion of our Politicians & their priorities when they express more concern over Mexicans deaths, mostly connected to the Drug trade than the murders, havoc & crimes of Illegal Aliens against American Citizens!
Most of our Politicians in Wash. DC are wading knee deep in innocent American blood and suffering because they put Self Interest ahead of the interest of American Citizens & the future of this Nation!
The Welfare vote for the Democrats to further their Socialist Agenda and the Slave Labor for their Pay Masters in the Chamber of Commerce & Business for the Republicans is more important to our Corrupt power mad Politicians than the lives and safety of Americans citizens!
The Citizens of this Nation have not sacrificed with blood, sweat & tears for over 200 years & obeyed the Laws of the land, paid the taxes, and fought the wars & built this Nation to see Corrupt politicians turn this Nation into the United States of Mexico without a shot being fired, to serve their demented, nefarious goals and lust for power!
