Radical Change for America

So Long, Uncle Sam

President Obama, attending a North American summit with the leaders of Mexico and Canada, vowed to pursue comprehensive U.S. immigration reform later this year with a view to enacting legislation in 2010 that would provide a “pathway to citizenship” for the 12 to 32 million illegal immigrants now in the United States.

In a joint news conference in Guadalajara with Mexican President Felipe Calderón and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Mr. Obama said he regards immigration reform as being in the long-term interest of the United States. “We have a broken immigration system,” he told the press. “Nobody denies it.”

Mr. Obama maintained that the present immigration policies spell tensions with Mexico, danger for those trying to cross into the United States illegally, unfairness for those trying to immigrate legally, exploitation by unscrupulous employers, the depression of U.S. wages and other ills.

“It’s not fair, and it’s not right, and we’re going to change it,” the President insisted. But he added it was “very important for us to sequence these big initiatives in way where they don’t all just crash at the same time.” He said meetings have begun on immigration reform among House and Senate Democrats and Republicans, with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano coordinating the discussions.

“I would anticipate that before the year is out we will have draft legislation, along with sponsors potentially in the House and Senate, who are ready to move this forward,” Obama said. Then, next year, “we should be in a position to start acting,” he said, although he acknowledged that “this is going to be difficult.”

The overhaul would give illegal immigrants in the United States the opportunity “to achieve a pathway to citizenship so that they don’t have to live in the shadows,” Obama said. “So I’m confident we can get it done.”

The push for amnesty is being spearheaded by Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Mr. Schumer says that the borders are now “secure enough to move forward on immigration reform.”

His statement comes on the heels of the murder of U.S. Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas, who was gunned down by members of a Mexican smuggling ring in July.

Five suspects have been taken into custody by Mexican law enforcement officials.

Mr. Schumer has pledged that a comprehensive immigration plan, which includes the granting of amnesty, will be readied for consideration by Labor Day.

Our Unconstitutional Census

California could get nine House seats it doesn’t deserve because illegal aliens will be counted in 2010.

By JOHN S. BAKER AND ELLIOTT STONECIPHER

Next year’s census will determine the apportionment of House members and Electoral College votes for each state. To accomplish these vital constitutional purposes, the enumeration should count only citizens and persons who are legal, permanent residents. But it won’t. Instead, the U.S. Census Bureau is set to count all persons physically present in the country—including large numbers who are here illegally. The result will unconstitutionally increase the number of representatives in some states and deprive some other states of their rightful political representation. Citizens of “loser” states should be outraged. Yet few are even aware of what’s going on.

In 1790, the first Census Act provided that the enumeration of that year would count “inhabitants” and “distinguish” various subgroups by age, sex, status as free persons, etc. Inhabitant was a term with a well-defined meaning that encompassed, as the Oxford English Dictionary expressed it, one who “is a bona fide member of a State, subject to all the requisitions of its laws, and entitled to all the privileges which they confer.” Thus early census questionnaires generally asked a question that got at the issue of citizenship or permanent resident status, e.g., “what state or foreign country were you born in?” or whether an individual who said he was foreign-born was naturalized. Over the years, however, Congress and the Census Bureau have added inquiries that have little or nothing to do with census’s constitutional purpose. By 1980 there were two census forms. The shorter form went to every person physically present in the country and was used to establish congressional apportionment. It had no question pertaining to an individual’s citizenship or legal status as a resident. The longer form gathered various kinds of socioeconomic information including citizenship status, but it went only to a sample of U.S. households. That pattern was repeated for the 1990 and 2000 censuses.

The 2010 census will use only the short form. The long form has been replaced by the Census Bureau’s ongoing American Community Survey. Dr. Elizabeth Grieco, chief of the Census Bureau’s Immigration Statistics Staff, told us in a recent interview that the 2010 census short form does not ask about citizenship because “Congress has not asked us to do that.”

Islam and Illegal Aliens

More than 200,000 converts

Islam represents the fastest-growing religion in the United States and Latinos represent one of the fastest-growing minorities. Increasingly, the two trends are coinciding in the form of Hispanic converts to Islam.

In 2004, the Christian Science Monitor placed the number of Muslim Latinos in the U.S. at 15,000.

Five years later, New York University and Newsweek sets this figure at 200,000. Seven percent of the Latinos in America are now Muslims. No other religion has shown such dramatic gains within a short span of time.

This growth is reflected in the appearance of such websites as HispanicMuslim.com and LatinoDawah.org

Dr. Dario Fernandez-Morera, a sociology professor at Northwestern University, says that many Latinos in America now trace their religious and cultural ancestry not to Christian Spain but the al-Andalus Moors, who governed much of the Iberian Peninsula from 711 to 1492.

In keeping with this development, the Nation of Aztlan, a Hispanic separatist group with ties to Communist dictators Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, has formed a Latino-Islamic Public Affairs Committee to show that there is “no conflict between the Qu’ran and the New Testament” as they relate to Jesus Christ and that the divisions between Latinos and Muslims are “the consequences of the Zionist who reject Jesus as the true Messiah.”

One Chicano ex-convict tried to explain the allure of Islam for Latino inmates, and why Mexican-Americans sympathize with Palestinians: “The old Latin American revolutionaries converted to atheism, but the new faux revolutionary Latino American prisoner can just as easily convert to Islam….There reside in the Latino consciousness at least three historical grudges, three conflicting selves: the Muslim Moor, the Catholic Spanish and the indigenous Indian. For the Mexican inmates, the Palestinians had their homeland stolen and were oppressed in much the same way as Mexicans.”

So many Latinos have thronged to Islam that many mosques, including some in North Jersey, have set up special “Latino Muslim” groups within their congregations. And many now offer simultaneous Spanish translations as part of their religious services.

” When we reached out to non-Muslim organizations,” says Mohammed Al-Hayek, the imam at the Islamic Educational Center of North Hudson in Union City, New Jersey, “ we weren’t even thinking of Hispanics; we didn’t know much about Hispanics. But they were the ones who responded. That’s when we realized that our outreach focus had to be specifically Hispanics.”

In response to this phenomenon, Imam Al-Hayek brought in the head of a mosque in Ecuador and asked him to go out into the immigrant enclaves of Hudson County and talk about Islam.

“Here was a Latino, someone the people in the Hispanic community could relate to, speaking to them in their own language about Islam,” say Al-Hayek. “It wasn’t Arabs speaking to them, and at the beginning especially, that made a big difference.”

The mosque’s efforts have paid off. Since Al-Hayek began the outreach
program seven years ago, hundreds of Hispanics have attended his mosque and converted to Islam

Mohamed El-Filali, the outreach director for the Islamic Center of Passaic County, holds an “open house” for Hispanics every summer.

“Many of the Latinos who accept Islam are looking for what many people are searching for when they turn to religion in general, which is a way out of one kind of life and a means by which to reach divine acceptance.”

Like many Hispanics at the mosque in Union City, Gaby Gonzalez, a 22 year-old woman from Honduras, came from a family of devout Catholics. “Islam means submission to God, not that you are chosen to go out and bomb a place – that is a specific group that is not practicing Islam the way it was intended,” Gonzalez says. “We don’t drink alcohol, we don’t eat pork, we pray five times a day, and people look at that and call us fanatics.”

Milagros Ali, another member of the Union City mosque, immigrated to the U.S. from her native Peru in 2002.

“I never thought I’d convert,” she says while taking a break from a Quran class. “I went to Catholic school — priests and nuns were all over the place.”

According to Professor Hjamil Martínez-Vázquez of Texas Christian University’s Department of Religion, the conversion of U.S. Latinos to Islam isn’t just a fad.

“It’s going to continue,” said Professor Martínez-Vázquez, who’s currently writing a book about Latino Muslims in the U.S. He explained that, after Sept. 11, there was a surge in converts as Latinos started reading about Islam for the first time. Many thought it answered recurring questions about Catholicism.

Note the PLO flags in background

Uruguayan-born Javier Graviz, 26, of Union City, wears a kufi and sports an unruly brown beard. He converted to Islam while in his late teens, and though he’s never had problems on the street for being Muslim, he knows others who have been called “Bin Laden” while walking down Bergenline Avenue.

Mr. Graviz maintains that his family was perplexed when he first converted but didn’t give him too many problems.

“They were like, ‘What are you getting into?’ My mom thought it was a cult. But I see other Latino families give their kids more trouble about it,” Graviz says. “Now mom is a Muslim, too.”

Imam Muhammad Musri, president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, says Latinos and Muslims find they have a lot in common. “There are so many common denominators between immigrant Muslims and immigrant Hispanics who see the issues common to both of them — immigration issues, as it is a big discussion in the United States, and there are other issues of trying to find a job, keep a job, buy a home — all the same struggles two groups of people happen to be going through creates this bond between them”.

Mr. Musri adds, “Many who come from Central and South America come with conservative values and, as well, Muslims come with conservative values. And here in the States they find that those values are put in question or are being challenged. So it is common to see Hispanics and Muslims working on similar projects in terms of family and education and reforms to protect their values, their conservative values they have.”

Schumer: “Borders Now Secure”

$1 Trillion in Extra Health Care Costs

Charles Schumer (D-NY), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, says that the borders are now “secure enough to move forward on immigration reform.”

Mr. Schumer’s statement comes on the heels of the murder of U.S. Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas, who was gunned down by members of a Mexican smuggling ring in July.

Five suspects have been taken into custody by Mexican law enforcement officials.

Immigration reform for Mr. Schumer, according to the Minuteman PAC, is the granting of full amnesty to all illegal aliens who live within the U.S.

Mr. Schumer pledged that his committee will have the new bill ready by Labor Day.

Agent Rosas, 30 years-old, leaves behind a wife and two young children who may grow up wondering why the government their father swore an oath to serve left him under-equipped to handle the violent flood of illegal aliens, crime, and drugs coming at him every day.

Mr. Schumer’s proposal, according to the Minuteman PAC, represents amnesty for the 12 to 32 million illegal aliens who have already made their way into the United States.

An outline of the plan has been endorsed by President Barack Obama. “My administration is fully behind an effort to achieve comprehensive immigration reform,” Mr. Obama said at a meeting with the bipartisan group of legislators. “What’s also been acknowledged is that the 12 million or so undocumented workers are here–who are not paying taxes in the ways that we’d like them to be paying taxes, who are living in the shadows, that that is a group that we have to deal with in a practical, common-sense way.”

Mr. Schumer says that the new legislation will be ready for congressional consideration before Labor Day.

The measure for amnesty will circumvent and curtail concerns over health care for the illegal Latinos.

Overnight they will become resident aliens with full rights to all government programs, including welfare, social security, and health care.

The measure, according to the Minutemen, will cost the U.S. taxpayers more than $1 trillion.

Despite the enormous ramifications of Mr. Schumer’s proposed legislation, it has attracted little attention from major American news outlets.

The Immigration Reform Bill will impose a new national worker identification system on all U.S. residents. Mr. Schumer says that the system “must have the strictest privacy and civil liberties protections, and must only be used for employment,” not other federal ID purposes.

But the Senator was silent on whether the government would maintain a database of fingerprint or other biometric information on all workers, or if data could be locked into a portable card or other microchip-bearing device held by an individual.

Goodbye, Gringo America

By Paul Williams

It’s payback time for white America.

“America’s Palestinians” are on the march, chanting “Ahora es la tiempo por audacia”!

Thousands of Latinos are gathering this Independence Day to celebrate the Farce of July.

This annual all-day concert and street fair is held on Cesar Chavez Avenue in East Los Angeles – - the heart of the barrio.

The event is sponsored by the Aztlan Underground to uphold the claim that the Southwest portion of the United States had been stolen from Mexicans and Mexican Americans by Yankee colonialists under the leadership of U.S. President James K. Polk.

Members of the Aztlan Movement and La Raza (of which Supreme Council nominee Sotomayor is a national director) seek to annex California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and southern Colorado into a new nation: Republica del Norte, “the Republic of the North.”

Last year’s event poster

Sounds like a far-fetched idea save for the fact that the 56% of Mexicans and Mexican Americans, according to a Zogby poll, favor the reconquista.

The creation of a “Hispanic Homeland,” Charles Truxillo, professor, University of New Mexico, maintains, is “an inevitability” that should be brought into being “by any means necessary.”

But the “reconquista” won’t end with territorial occupation and secession. The final plan for the La Raza movement includes the ethnic cleansing of Americans of European, African, and Asian descent out of “Aztlan.”

Miguel Perez, a La Raza spokesman at Cal State-Northridge, says, “The ultimate ideology is the liberation of Aztlan. Communism would be closest [to it]. Once Aztlan is established, ethnic cleansing would commence: Non-Chicanos would have to be expelled — opposition groups would be quashed because you have to keep power.”

And so, our new Supreme Court appointee and self-professed advocate of La Raza approves of the reformation of the United States, the creation of a separate Chicano country, and widespread ethnic cleansing. Other La Raza supporters who have appeared at Aztlan gatherings include George W. Bush, John (Juan) McCain, and Barack barrio-loving Obama.

The plans of La Raza and the Aztlan Movement may not raise conservative eyebrows, let alone Christian opposition to Sotomayor’s ascendancy to the Supreme Court, save for the fact that La Raza and other Latino activist groups have expressed widespread anti-Jewish sentiments and support for radical Islam.

This finding is supported by articles in “The Voice of Aztlan” with such lurid titles as “That Shitty Little Country Israel,” “Pat Tillman Got What Was coming to Him,” and “Osama bin Laden: the ‘Pancho Villa’ of Islam.”

If you cannot attend, the Farce of July, it’s high time for you to encounter the Aztlan Underground and to savor the lyrics of their smash hit – “Decolonize:”

AUG’s on the scene with a vengeance
No man or law can end this
Power, in a true sense of the word
Now it’s time that my people be heard
Some feel this oppression no longer exists
Well here’s something they missed
Self D means self determination
To put a stop to colonization
We begin with a historical analysis
To illustrate a Mexican paralysis
See Mexico’s been occupied since 1848
Which left the mexicano at a constant 2nd rate
Now learn the word called colonization
Stranger in your own land under exploitation
This is the state of the indigena today

Under the oppression of the settlers way [x2]

WE DIDN’T CROSS THE BORDERS, THE BORDERS CROSSED US! [x3]

YET THE SETTLER NATION LIVES IN DISGUST!

The American dream only for some
Play the role and forget where you came from
Now check it, this is their reality
And just because its wasp holds no validity
WASP-White Anglo Saxon Protestant
The frame of mind that keeps our oppression constant
You try to be white and its very respectable
But be Xicano and its highly unacceptable
Then we’re termed hispanic as if we were from Spain
Trying to insert us in the American game
And we’re called wetbacks like we’ve never been here
When our existence on this continent is thousands of years

This is the state of the indigena today

Under the oppression of the settlers way [x2]

WE DIDN’T CROSS THE BORDERS, THE BORDERS CROSSED US [x3]

YET THE SETTLER NATION LIVES IN DISGUST repeat

To the earth, to the air, to the fire, and to the water….
The eagle and condor have met
We must realize
Our connection to this land
Till a Hopi and a Mexica can really understand
That invaders divided indigenous people
Under english, french, or spanish it make us all feeble
Unable to recognize each other
From Xicano to Lakota all sisters and brothers
In the spirit of Pontiac, all the red keepers of the earth mother

From the top of Alaska to the tip of South America
Abya Yala, Anahuak, Turtle Island
506 years of indigenous resistance
The prophecies are coming true
The redemption of the red people has come!
The 6th sun now arises
The 7th fire has arrived
Cihuatl is reclaiming

We have returned to Aztlan
We have returned to Aztlan!!!!

WE DIDN’T CROSS THE BORDERS, THE BORDERS CROSSED US [x3]

YET THE SETTLER NATION LIVES IN DISGUST!!

GET THE FUCK OUT, GET THE FUCK OUT, GET THE FUCK , FUCK, FUCK OUT

GET THE FUCK OUT

WASICHU EATER OF THE FAT WASTER OF EARTH MOTHER

Reported by WorldNetDaily- WASHINGTON – A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists” concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.

The report, titled “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” dated April 7, states that “threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts.”

NC reminds:  Hate to break it to you true Americans,  but the nanny state isn’t going to deport the illegals.  They are needed to utterly destroy what’s left of this once great country!  Sorry!

by Gregory D. Lee

There’s a much cheaper way to create three million jobs without bankrupting the country: Deport illegals.

Much of the so-called stimulus bill President Obama signed calls for infrastructure repairs and new public works projects. If many “shovel ready” building projects can now be funded, how many jobs will be taken by unskilled or semi-skilled laborers from Mexico and elsewhere? I think we all know the answer to that – a lot.

Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act allows state and local law enforcement officers to receive training on immigration law that qualifies them for “cross designation” to perform immigration law enforcement. In order words, trained local police officers are authorized to enforce immigration law and arrest illegal aliens they encounter during the normal course of their duties.

During recent congressional hearings, two county police officials in nearby Maryland testified about their experience with enforcing federal immigration law. According to the Washington Post, Montgomery County Police Chief J. Thomas Manger warned members of the House Committee on HomelandSecurity that “the program could severely undermine trust between police and immigrant communities.” The chief said he was concerned that illegal immigrants will not have the “trust and confidence in local police forces.” Why should police be concerned about whether or not law violators have “trust and confidence” in them?

That’s nonsense.

Welcome to Amexica!

The Homeland Security committee also heard from Fredrick County, Maryland Sheriff Chuck Jenkins, who testified that the program was “an overwhelming success.” His deputies last year identified 337 illegal aliens, of whom 309 were arrested and are pending deportation. Nine were violent gang members, and others were arrested for attempted murder, assault, burglary and child abuse. The sheriff said he urged every law enforcement executive to participate in the program. So do I.

Chief Manger forgets that the mere presence of an illegal alien makes him subject to arrest and deportation. I don’t want illegal aliens to have “trust and confidence” that local police officers are unwilling or unable to enforce this nation’s immigration laws. I want the illegals to fear being found, detained, punished and deported in order to deter them from ever returning here without proper documentation.

The lack of immigration enforcement allows Mexico to take a pass on its own economic and social issues. Mexico encourages its poor to illegally migrate to the U.S. to take jobs its own economy cannot create. The result is billions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer money being spent on housing, health and education for people who are not eligible for these benefits. And the vast amount of money earned by illegals returns to Mexico and is not spent in the U.S. to stimulate our own economy.

Local police and sheriff’s departments should be mandated to participate in the 287(g) program. Millions of jobs for Americans would suddenly become available, school and prison overcrowding would become a thing of the past, there would no longer be a need to “press one for English” and your quality of life would improve because there would be fewer people and cars and less pollution.

The Star-Spangled Pinata!

Considering President Obama has voiced support for illegal aliens receiving immunity and driver licenses, the chances of increased immigration law enforcement is slim. At the request of four liberal Democrat members of Congress who have their priorities mixed up, Attorney General Eric Holder is investigating Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio for “national origin discrimination” after it became known that his deputies arrested and turned over to federal officials more than 16,000 illegal aliens for deportation since April 2007. They should nominate Sheriff Arpaio for the Presidential Medal of Freedom instead.

I wonder how many of those 16,000 illegals held jobs Americans would be glad to take.

American Hero, Sheriff Joe Arpaio

NC Sez: Why doesn’t it surprise me that the Marxists, who are now in power, are going after a successful American hero who understands that threat of illegal immigration taking over his state!  This is just the start of other situations, we true Americans, will witness in this country!  Watch out for actions like WACO and Ruby Ridge to take place under the banner of hopenchange!!  Shame on the Justice Department!

The U.S.  Justice Department has launched a civil-rights investigation of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office after months of mounting complaints that deputies are discriminating in their enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Officials from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division notified Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Tuesday that they had begun the investigation, which will focus on whether deputies are engaging in “patterns or practices of discriminatory police practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures.”

NC Points outs:  ”patterns or practices of discriminatory police practices” is code for “You’re too successful in combating the drug war against America and we, Marxists, have to put a Ka-bash on that!

An expert said it is the department’s first civil-rights probe related to immigration enforcement.

NC Sez: Civil rights probe on illegals?  Yeah right!  They have no snivel rights in this country! 

Arpaio vehemently denies that deputies are illegally profiling as part of his immigration crackdowns. He said Tuesday that he welcomes the investigation and intends to cooperate fully.

NC Laughs:  ”profiling? OMG!  Say it isn’t so.  We can’t profile that would mean we would catch more bad boys! 

“We have nothing to hide,” he said.

Although Arpaio’s illegal-immigration crackdowns have broad public support, they also have led to calls for an examination of his tactics.

NC Points out:  Yeah, calls from marxists,  not private citizens who pay for all of these tax paid salaries! 

Last year, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon asked for a federal investigation of possible civil-rights abuses. Last month, four key Democratic members of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee asked Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to investigate Arpaio.

NC sez:  Gordon is a democrat–that explains this call for an investigation of so called snivel rights violations! Don’t you know we must understand why the illegals bring drugs into this country?  Doncha know we have to understand why the mexican drug lords and runners have a need to kidnap innocent civilians in Phoenix, which by they way, is NOW the second highest city in the world for kidnappings due to the open borders and no profiling law?  

The lawmakers said Arpaio had exceeded the limits of a federal program that gives local police federal immigration-enforcement powers by ordering deputies to “scour” Latino neighborhoods looking for illegal immigrants based on skin color.

NC sez:  It’s so comforting to know that the gov’t, who refuse to close the border and profile, are the ones making the complaint of the success of Arpaio in his tactics.  I just love my gov’t and I trust them with my life!  

Arpaio, who was easily re-elected to a fifth term in November, called the investigation politically motivated and vowed to continue to arrest illegal immigrants.

NC sez:  Really?  I wouldn’t have never come to that conclusion Joe! Not the nice gov’t!  

“I am not going to be intimidated by the politics and by the Justice Department,” Arpaio said. “I want the people of Arizona to know this: I will continue to enforce all the immigration laws.”

NC Sez: Isn’t it sad Joe,  that the one department who claims to uphold the laws,  use the law to play politics and to intimidate?  The American people have to step up and make their voices heard  on this obvious “will to power” over others tactic by this marxist administration!   

Arpaio uses the sweeps to enforce the state’s employer-sanctions and anti-smuggling laws. He also participates in a federal program that lets local officers enforce federal immigration laws. The sweeps have taken place in mostly Latino neighborhoods or near where day laborers congregate. They have sparked two racial-profiling lawsuits.

NC Sez:  It’s too bad Arizona won’t use the 10th Amendment Rights and tell the feds to “F” off!

The Justice Department frequently receives racial-profiling complaints against police departments, but investigations are rare, said David Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor and racial-profiling expert.

NC sez:  And this is why this investigation against Arpaio is a joke and dangerous and politically motivated.  

“The fact that this has come to their attention and they have announced their intent to investigate is highly significant,” Harris said. “It says there is enough there to be investigated. It’s not an iffy case that (can be ignored).”

NC sez: Yeah right!  Big Bubby is watching you!   

Harris said this is the first civil-rights investigation stemming from immigration enforcement. The probe could last several months.

NC points out: Yep, big gub’ment jobs creation program! 

In a two-page letter dated Tuesday, Loretta King, acting assistant attorney general, said that if the investigation uncovers violations, her office will work with Arpaio to find remedies.

NC sez:  There is no real information on the US Justice Dept. on this “acting assistant attorney general.”  Gee, I wonder why.  

But Arpaio said he will battle the Justice Department in court if he disagrees with any of the changes the department tries to impose.

In the 1990s, the department conducted similar civil-rights investigations and found patterns of police discrimination in about 20 cases, including in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. In those cases, law-enforcement agencies agreed to significant changes aimed at preventing discrimination or face a court injunction, Harris said.

NC Sez:  The 90s?  Who was AG during most of the 90s?  WACO?  Janet Sterno!  The Elian Gonzales debacle? Janet Sterno!  Oklahoma City Bombing?  Janet Sterno! <<  she was doing a good job at protecting this country from terrorists.  The First World Trade bombings?  Janet Sterno again.  The destruction of the Towers occurred 7 months after Bush’s elections, and that couldn’t have possibly be the responsibility of Janet Sterno because there was and is no terrorist threat in America, doncha know?!  Oh, and let’s not disregard Eric Holder’s involvement back then either!  Who runs the Justice Department this round?  Eric Holder

“Once the Justice Department finds violations, the threat of going to court is usually enough to encourage them to agree to change,” Harris said. Changes have included increased supervision and changing policies, Harris said.

NC sez:  Oh the the threat of going to court is enough to force change in a successful program of profiling!  

Investigations into patterns of police discrimination are “not about punishing individual officers; they are about changing the fundamental” way an agency operates, he said.

NC Sez:  It is about threats and punishing!   Willing gub’ment power over individuals IS about sending a clear message who these people work for and who wields the power! 

Gordon, who met with King and Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Wodatch on Tuesday in Washington, praised the investigation.

“We should all be encouraged that our new attorney general is taking these issues seriously,” he said.

NC points out:  Always be warned when a gub’ment is happy to take fake charges seriously! You could be next for prosecutorial abuses.  Watch out for more of this to happen under faux-bama.

Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, the board’s lone Democrat and most vocal critic of Arpaio’s immigration policies, had planned to help deliver a petition today with 35,000 Internet signatures calling for a Justice Department investigation.

NC asks:  So where were these signatures collected? On what sites?  Marxist leaning sites like ACORN?  LaRAZA? I thought actual facts and evidence is what started investigations NOT stupid ass politically motivated internet petition sites!

“I think they’re going to find racial profiling, which is a civil-rights abuse,” said Wilcox, who was in Washington for a National Association of Counties conference. “It’s time to put a stop to them. It may cost us millions in lawsuits.”

NC points out:  Again, illegals have no Rights in this country!  America MUST BRING BACK PROFILING!  

Board Chairman Max Wilson, one of the board’s four Republicans, said he was surprised by the investigation.

NC SEZ:  Good!    A “tough on crime”  conservative will see through this political bullcrap! I say,  that all these marxists should go live in Phoenix, advertise where they live,  and where their kids go to school,  and show us Americans that there is no threat in AZ where drug lords are kidnapping people and chopping off their heads, which by they way, they learned how to do from the islamists coming through the border! Oh, i forgot,  the elitists would never actually live like the rest of us!  Bastards! 

“I know there’s been some accusations made,” he said. “I don’t know if there’s any merits to them. I’ve almost had my hands full of people making accusations without people having some solid, hard evidence to back it up.”

NC sez: Doesn’t surprise me Wilson! This behavior coming out of the so called “JUSTICE” Dept. is power trippin’ marxists swine!

Jury: Rancher didn’t violate illegal immigrants’ “rights” – But he’s still fined for “infliction of emotional distress”

Welcome to Amexica

TUCSON, Ariz. – A federal jury found Tuesday that a southern Arizona rancher didn’t violate the civil rights of a group of illegal immigrants who said he detained them at gunpoint in 2004.

The eight-member civil jury also found Roger Barnett wasn’t liable on claims of battery and false imprisonment.

But the jury did find him liable on four claims of assault and four claims of infliction of emotional distress and ordered Barnett to pay $77,804 in damages – $60,000 of which were punitive.

Barnett declined to comment afterward, but one of his attorneys, David Hardy, said the plaintiffs lost on the bulk of their claims and that Barnett has a good basis for appeal on the two counts on which he lost.

“They won a fraction of the damages they were seeking,” Hardy said.

All six plaintiffs are citizens of Mexico, five of whom are living in the United States with visa applications pending, and the sixth resides in Mexico but was allowed into the U.S. for the trial, said Nina Perales, an attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. She declined to say where in the U.S. they’re residing.

Perales called the outcome “a resounding victory that sends a message that vigilante violence against immigrants will not be tolerated.”

David Urias, attorney for the plaintiffs, said, “Obviously we are disappointed with some aspects of the verdict. But I think that overall this was a victory for the plaintiffs.”

For years, Arizona has been the busiest point along the Mexican border for illegal immigrants entering the United States.

For more than a decade, Barnett has been a controversial figure in southern Arizona. He’s known for aggressively patrolling his ranch property and along highways and roads in the area, often with his wife and brothers, on the lookout for illegal immigrants.

The plaintiffs alleged that Barnett threatened them with his dog and told them he would shoot anyone who tried to escape.

Reconquista Progressing

Barnett’s lawyers argued that his land was inundated with illegal immigrants who left trash on his property, damaged his water supply and harmed his cattle.

Barnett’s wife and a brother were dismissed as defendants; in addition, 10 more people initially named as plaintiffs were dropped from the proceedings.

Barnett has been known to wear a holstered 9-mm pistol on his hip and upon coming across groups of migrants, to flash a blue and gold badge resembling that of the highway patrol, with the wording “Barnett Ranch Patrol. Cochise County. State of Arizona.”

The Barnetts detain and turn over those whom they encounter to the U.S. Border Patrol. In 2006, Barnett estimated that he had detained more than 10,000 illegal immigrants in 10 years.

His actions have resulted in formal complaints from the Mexican government against what it considers vigilante actions, and in several other lawsuits, including one stemming from an October 2004 incident.

Emotional Distress: Aztlan This!

In that case, a jury awarded a family of Mexican-Americans on a hunting trip $100,000 in damages, later upheld by the Arizona Supreme Court.

Barnett’s 22,000-acre ranch, about five miles north of the Mexican border, includes private and federal lease holdings in addition to nearly 14,000 acres of state-leased land.
