Illegal Immigration: Don’t Ask Don’t Tell

Judicial Watch, a public interest group that fights government corruption, is taking on the issue of illegal immigrants and those that enable them:

The LA Times reports:

A Superior Court judge Thursday rejected a motion by the city of Los Angeles to dismiss a legal challenge to a Police Department policy prohibiting officers from asking witnesses and suspects about their immigration status.

The action keeps alive the lawsuit by Judicial Watch, which alleged that the LAPD’s Special Order 40 violates federal and state law. “The LAPD has adopted what is in effect a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy with respect to immigration status,” Judicial Watch alleged in its lawsuit.

From Judicial Watch:

“It cannot be denied that Special Order 40 and the policies, practices, and procedures arising thereunder violate both the letter and spirit of [federal law],” Judicial Watch argued in its court filing. “The LAPD has adopted what is in effect a ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy with respect to immigration status. Under ordinary circumstances, a ‘cop on the beat’ who suspects an individual of being in the United States illegally cannot inquire about that individual’s immigration status…He cannot undertake any investigation at all.”

“The Los Angeles Police Department needs to stop undermining our nation’s immigration laws,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Special Order 40 is unlawful and dangerous. It prevents police officers from communicating freely with federal immigration officials and puts American citizens at risk from criminal illegal aliens.”

It is about time we challenge the so-called “sanctuary cities”. There will be no need to deport if our immigration laws, the ones we now have, are enforced. Illegal immigrants will be forced to leave if they are not allowed to live and work here under an illegal status. It isn’t rocket science and here’s the proof from one small town.

The New York Times reports:

RIVERSIDE, N.J., July 27 — The downtown streets of this working-class town — usually filled with many of the immigrants who have made this place home — were unusually empty the day after the Township Council approved an ordinance banning employers and landlords from hiring or housing illegal immigrants.

At a heated meeting on Wednesday night that one resident compared to “The Jerry Springer Show,” Riverside’s five-member Council unanimously approved the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, citing overcrowded apartments, jammed parking lots, and a strain on the town’s schools and social services, as reasons for passing the measure.

Fines start at $1,000 for violations of the Riverside ordinance, which makes it illegal to hire people who cannot prove they are legally in the United States, or to rent or lease them property. A violator also could lose his or her business permit for five years.

As long as we cater to illegal immigrants by allowing them to work and receive benefits such as health care, housing, and education, we will never be able to deal with this problem. Riverside, NJ proves that if you get serious about illegal immigration, the problem can be solved without giving away this nation at the expense of its taxpayers.

Where will all of the illegal immigrants from Riverside, NJ go now for jobs? Considering the fact that they are here illegally, there should be no city in this nation that should harbor them. If our laws were truly enforced, the illegal immigrants would have taken the correct path into this country. It is not too late, nor ‘unrealistic’, to expect them to do so now.

Illegal alien supporters attack Minutemen in TN!

A group of Hispanic protesters were in front of the Washington County Courthouse in Tennessee while a group of Tennessee Volunteer Minutemen watched. One man marching with the Minutemen was confronted by the Hispanic group because he had a Mexican flag in his back pocket. source

The Hispanic group, led by Azul Christian Caravaggio, were holding signs saying “Are We Really Illegal?,” “Minute Men + Hatred = Evil” and “We Don’t Choose Our Race, 1 Race, The Human Race.”The Tennessee Volunteer Minutemen had signs, too, but group members mainly held American flags and chanted “U.S.A, U.S.A, U.S.A.”

“We are doing this because we don’t think we are illegal,” Caravaggio said. “We don’t think the human body can be illegal.” …

She said the group’s mission is to encourage voters to vote for Democratic candidates. … “It’s not a crime to come to this country just because you want to work,” Caravaggio said.

(Well, Caravaggio, actually it IS A CRIME TO COME TO THIS COUNTRY JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO WORK, if you do it illegally … that’s ILLEGAL, as in against the law.)

“We have laws,” Whitaker [marching with the Minutemen] said to the other group in response to their presence. “There are laws in this country.

“These people have been agitating Minutemen all the way down the line,” Whitaker said. Whitaker said his protest has nothing to do with race and was adamant about the Tennessee Volunteer Minutemen not being a hate group.

The Hispanic group became angry at Whitaker because he had a Mexican flag tucked in his back pocket. They thought it was a deliberate provocation, aimed at disrespecting them.

As Whitaker was being interviewed by a WCYB-TV reporter, several of the immigrants charged him in an apparent attempt to grab the flag.

Authorities reacted quickly, separating the two sides and breaking up the rally.

(In all honesty, and in full disclosure, it is my understanding that Carl Twofeathers Whitaker, a Sevierville resident who is running as an independent candidate for governor, is a publicity junkie, newshound, and possibly a little ‘weird’. So take this into consideration when reading the article.

And why he had a Mexican flag in his back pocket, only he knows. Had the Hispanics carried American flags in their back pockets, the Minutemen would have been upset too.)

Both Magdaleno and Anzaldo are illegal immigrants, settled for years in an immigrant enclave. Magdaleno has the same number of children as her parents, who were peasant farmers in Mexico. Like her parents, she is living in poverty and struggling to provide for her family. “It’s not sweet,” said her 36-year-old sister, Alejandra. “It’s very sad.

The life for girls back there in Mexico is the same as the one Angela has now. They marry and have children, and that’s their lives.”Neither Magdaleno nor her husband speaks English, though she has been in the United States 22 years and he 28. Even her teenage daughters speak mostly Spanish; their English vocabulary is limited.

Yet all of Magdaleno’s 10 children are U.S. citizens. The triplets receive subsidized school lunches. All the youngsters have had their healthcare bills covered by Medi-Cal, the state and federal healthcare program for the poor.

Someone get me a box of Kleenex. I’m not crying for them…heck no….I’m crying for ME- I have to pay for this EFFIN mess.

Alfredo Jr. had been hospitalized all his life until recently. He’s had three state-funded brain operations and will require several more, the family said. The couple receive $700 in monthly Social Security payments to help with his medical needs.

Uh…..sir…excuse me, this check I’m writing to pay for Senor and Senora Spermatosa….do you need to see some form of ID?
