Today the most ridiculous story comes out of Washington that an ICE employee is on leave because of his office Halloween Costume. This after he won the most original costume award by the head lady, Julie Meyers and her lackeys in tow. The brouhaha originated after someone took offense to the character in prison stripes sporting dread locks and darkened skin. I guess if you watch the late night MSNBC prison shows this might be touching a little too close to home with all of the inmates on display. The biggest complaint seems to be the darkening of the skin. I bet the instant tan manufacturers are shaking in their boots revising their projected earnings for next summer.

I’d like to offer some suggestions for next year’s Halloween Party?

How about someone dressed as the Frito Bandito with the long mustache, sombrero and the crossed ammunition belts? To make it more realistic he/she/it, I want to be politically correct here, could tape a baby doll to their crotch with the panties down around the doll’s ankles. He/she/it could have a bottle of tequila in one hand and a 9mm automatic in the other dispatching high school students execution style. Everyone could close their eyes while he/she/it hides some place in the office. At least they could get a little on the job training trying to find him/her/it; something they are not very adept at doing professionally. Designate an office as a sanctuary church and if he/she/it, see I’m really trying, makes it there then everyone has to stand around the rest of the day with their thumbs up their butts.

This would be a non issue with the public if this agency would do their job, enforce the immigration laws of this country and tell those crying victimization to get a life!

Today on Election Day we have mostly Texas constitutional amendments to consider. In some precincts there may be a representative to replace or a local issue to address. The proposition that intrigues me the most is Proposition 11.

It states: "The constitutional amendment to require that a record vote be taken by a house of the legislature on final passage of any bill, other than certain local bills, of a resolution proposing or ratifying a constitutional amendment, or of any other non-ceremonial resolution, and to provide for public access on the Internet to those record votes."

Have you ever wondered after the fact what MORON enacted this legislation? Well here is your chance to find out. It is sickening when you find out your were sold down the river by some special interest group but it even more frustrating when you can’t find out who did it on their behalf. They are able to do this in anomynity by a voice vote or a signification of hands. It gets the job done for passing the bill but shields the legislator from his or her constituent’s wrath. If this proposition passes then that would be no more.

Seeing the citizen’s response to the Senate’s attempt at Amnesty and the DREAM act it is apparent that more and more are fed up with the inaction of their elected representatives and are holding them accountable. This proposition makes it that much easier to hold our State elected representatives accountable. Take the time to vote today because this one is important.

The pity parties are in full swing in the aftermath of the California fires. Many articles are chastising the authorities for enforcing immigration law and lamenting the casualties found in the burnt desert as if this should be a concern of the citizens of this nation. The attempt to play on our emotions doesn’t belay the fact that these casualties are the result of being in this country illegally. Had they entered legally the chances are very high they wouldn’t have been in the desert in the first place!

Call it survival of the fittest or natural consequences befitting stupid actions the only argument that I’ll concede is the absence of a wall delimiting our nations with the inscription engraved every 10 ft., “enter legally or stay the hell out.” Not that this is really necessary because if there wasn’t consequences associated entering our borders illegally then there would be no need for the coyote guides and no need to travel in the harshest of terrains to avoid detection.

California fires affirm the argument that even Mother Nature doesn’t like illegal immigrants. Maybe we should take a lesson from Al Gore’s eco-friendly friends and develop some Arkansas entertainment that is solar powered for a GREEN border deterrent. The solar panels could charge batteries that charge large capacitors connected to a grid the illegal aliens would have to cross. This should satisfy the liberal left because it is Energy Star compliant! Just as lightning bugs the brief brilliant flashes would accentuate the night. The Border Patrol could redefine the characters snap, crackle and pop as electrified Frito Banditos in an advertising commercial to recruit more Border Patrol Agents. It would beat the NASCAR advertisement and get many more  beer drinking Bubbas to apply!

Some might find the preceding distasteful and extreme but it is no more distasteful that giving illegal aliens driver’s licenses, social security, DREAM act or lamenting about catching the illegal alien thieving scum stealing relief supplies from those bivouacked stadium evacuees. In every one of these diatribes conveniently missing is the fact that the individuals are not entitled to any consideration because they are illegal. Left to fester long enough somewhere in the future the preceding may become reality if this token attempt at enforcement isn’t escalated to solve this problem. This will be especially true if another terrorist attack is imported through our porous borders!

There are many situations that can be associated with the metaphor, “Testing the Waters?” An individual that hasn’t announced his candidacy measures the public’s response to the hint that he/she is considering a run at the desired office. An executive leaks a new corporate policy to see how much the employees grumble or a politician takes a stand and defies the base to test an unpopular stance against proposed legislation. Wednesdays vote on the DREAM act revealed one of these individuals and sadly it was one of our senators from Texas.

Kay Bailey Hutchison sided with Durbin the Dick and voted for cloture on the Dream act. This was a very dangerous undertaking for those that think amnesty for illegal immigrants is the wrong thing to do. In our Senate a super majority vote of 60 would have ended all debate and killed the filibuster against the dream act where then a simple majority would have passed the bill from the senate. This piece of feces was loaded with amnesty that would have cost the citizens of this nation billions and increased the illegal immigrant population even more. One would expect this brainless mindset from the spineless liberal left but from a republican senator in a border state that suffers more from the effects of illegal immigration than most of the states combined is a blatant betrayal of the constituent base that put her in office.

Hutchison release a statement after the vote stating, “I support the goal of encouraging college education for children whose parents brought them into America illegally, but it is unfair to reward the children of undocumented workers and favor them over the children of legal residents. Today I voted to bring this issue to the floor of the Senate for debate, with the commitment that there is still the opportunity to change the Durbin bill and gain bipartisan consensus. Though the motion to proceed failed, I will continue to work for fair and comprehensive border security and immigration reform.”

Here is the person that believes assurances from an individual that advocates giving illegal aliens social security for the illegal wages they earned from identity theft or forgery, open borders and amnesty while calling those that disagree with his stance bigots. He represents the party that wants to give drivers licenses to illegal aliens and terrorists. 

It is apparent that Kay Bailey Hutchison is looking out for Kay Bailey Hutchison and not the citizens of Texas or the citizens of the United States. We owe nothing to the spawn of an illegal alien and for those bleeding hearts that think otherwise are doing so on your dime; not theirs! Hutchinson’s voting record on immigration related issues can be found at http://grades.betterimmigration.com/testgrades.php3?District=TX&VIPID=763 . Check it out and you’ll see her mediocre representation for her constituents.

It is rumored that this is the last term for Hutchison and she has aspirations for the Texas Governors mansion after retiring from the senate. Here is one of those constituents that will remind her and those thinking of voting for her the betrayal she perpetrated in the senate by her vote for cloture.

Do you know who is serviced by the charities that receive your donations? Do you care? I do and think that we should take care of our own before we consider caring for the illegal alien already leaching off of our society. 

We have a local grocery chain in the Dallas area called Tom Thumb. This is a Safeway store in disguise. Many years ago we had Safeway stores but they fell from the public’s favor because of high prices and a variety of other things that included rude and disgruntled personnel. To Safeway’s credit this Tom Thumb is a far cry from the original Safeways I patronized in the past.

One of Tom Thumb’s pride and joys is to solicit for donations to charities. I was solicited to donate to breast cancer research at the beginning of the month. Since I have become an activist against illegal immigration I’ve come up with a query as a response to requests for donations. It is simply, “Can you assure me that this donation will no go to service illegal aliens?” This statement has taken many a check out person by surprise and their response has been no. At the beginning of the month I received a different response from a checkout girl named Patti. Patti assured me that this donation would no go to service illegal aliens and rang me up for a one dollar donation. She was very cheerful until I asked her to note her assurance on my receipt. This request shocked her and became very nervous fumbling to find a pen. Her assurance barely legible she stopped her scrawl trying to remember how to spell illegal. I assisted her memory where she finished her scribble and passed it to me. I passed it back and said you forgot to sign it. Seeing this was completely illegible I queried her name to which she replied Patti. 

On my trip back to the house it struck me funny that Patti should get so apprehensive at my request to sign her assurance on the receipt. I thought she is just affirming corporate policy so why should she be apprehensive? I decided to find out from their corporate management if Patti’s assurances were true or was a deception on the part of one of their employees. Surely this wasn’t the case and Tom Thumb really did consider the preference for those legally entitled to be here.

I looked at the Safeway Website and contacted Alina at Business Ethics were she referred me to the customer service hotline. Here is where I wish I wrote down the name of the individual that serviced my call. I then talked to a lady that initially was pleasant and seemed to be helpful. I explained my quest of verifying Patti’s statements by asking for the name of the charities sponsored by Tom Thumb. She took my information and consulted with her manager and after a time they come up with a website NBCAM.questions@yahoo.com. I replied that this wasn’t good enough because anyone could have a yahoo email address. I wanted to speak to someone either at the charity or a corporate representative that could answer my question. I then asked to talk to her supervisor. She replied that her supervisor was busy and she would return my call. I said that I spend quite a bit of time on the phone and let me give her my email address to give me a time to contact her back or provide a means of getting me an answer. She expressed frustration with this request by a groan and I queried was there a problem with my request! She replied she was going to hang up if I didn’t give her my email address. I again queried what is the problem with my request when she hung up on me. I called again and got another representative and asked to speak to a manager. After assuring the reps efforts wouldn’t suffice I was placed in contact with Reggie 

Reggie was very helpful and courteous. She directed me to the public affairs office here in Dallas to Connie. Connie , a delightful lady, gave me the numbers for the local charities where one of them responded to my request for information. A. Terry told me over the phone that illegal aliens are not eligible for treatment but may get diagnostic services from the charity.

Because I have verified that an illegal alien may get services from my donation I’m requesting the return of my donation. Attached is a copy of the sales receipt indicating the assurance written by Patti and the $1.00 donation marked as breast cancer. Please mail the check to… In closing I find the actions of Patti objectionable and deceptive. Her and Tom Thumb’s integrities are now suspect in my mind and will probably persuade me to take my business someplace else. 

It is now nearing the end of the month and I’ve heard nothing from the Tom Thumb store or Mr. Burd of Safeway. It cost me a dollar to test the integrity of the grocer and they have earned one less shopper. I’m sharing this story so maybe you’ll consider the same!

Somewhere there are two Texas parents mourning the loss of their daughter. They’re remembering her life minute by minute while their eyes hang heavy from crying and their breathing stutters from the uncontrollable attempt to mask the whimpers. They remember the last time they heard her voice, touched her hair, hugged her neck and smelt the essence of her being. They can remember the pictures she drew in grade school, her first steps, her graduation from high school, her tears, her laughter, and question why was she taken from us. Why didn’t this happen to me instead, they think to themselves. They are left with the emptiness and despair that is the worst fear of any parent; the loss of a child. No one should have to bury a child.

Adding more to the grief is the unknown horror their daughter experienced at the hands of her murderer. Assisting this person in their request she was rewarded with a violent death and her body desecrated by her assailants attempt to hide his identity associated with the crimes he just committed. He took her parent’s most precious daughter and scared her worldly vessel with a can of gasoline and a match. The last goodbyes and assurances of love were given through the walls of a casket. What did she see, what did she feel, and what terror did she experience in her last seconds on earth. 

Are these the thought of the bereaved parents associated with the UNT student that was murdered and burnt by Ernesto Reyes? Possibly. They are in fact the thoughts from my minds eye but I don’t think that they are too far off from what any loving parent would feel in this situation. My sympathy is for these parents of Melanie Goodwin and my vehement scorn and contempt is for Ernesto Reyes.

“Ernesto Piña Reyes, a 20-year-old legal Mexican immigrant who has had minor brushes with the law but no history of violent crimes,” is the description that WFAA and Dallas Morning News called this murderer while the Star Telegram get more specific and details, “Reyes has a criminal history that includes two 2005 convictions for burglary of a building, for which he was sentenced to six months in jail, and a possession of marijuana misdemeanor conviction from this year, according to court records.” 

ALIPAC reports, “According to court records, Reyes was indicted on a charge of burglary of a building in February 2006 in Denton County. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, three years' probation and given deferred adjudication, meaning the conviction does not appear on his record as long as he completed terms of the probation.

Then, in early February, Reyes was arrested on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge and was later released. A Denton County assistant district attorney filed a motion April 12 to revoke his probation and enter a guilty finding on the burglary.

That document says Reyes failed to fulfill the terms of his probation by not completing a drug education program ordered by the court, by failing to attend weekly counseling, by not completing four hours of community service weekly and by possessing marijuana. He was back in the Denton County Jail in late April.

While being held there, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a hold on Reyes, who was born in Mexico but has U.S. permanent resident status, according to officials and police records. The agency took custody of him June 20, jail officials said.

Carl Rusnok, a spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in a prepared statement Thursday that the agency eventually released Reyes because his crime was not a deportable offense for legal residents. 

Reyes returned to Denton County court Aug. 2 and was sentenced to 180 days in jail on the burglary charge. He was released Aug. 26, according to jail records.” 

What does it take to be a deportable offense? This mans flagrant disregard for the terms of his probation should have been enough to punch an e ticket to the border but as described above political correctness comes into play. Is burglary a minor infraction? Is a jail sentence a minor punishment? It must be if 6 months is compressed to 24 days of incarceration. They must deem his parole violations as an act of good behavior and gave him time off as a consideration.

I guess one could look at this as self deportation. Murdering someone and burning the evidence is a job that most Americans refuse to do. What is more ironic is the criminal acts this scum committed gets him back in this country at the full expense of the citizens of this nation and if the reports are true, we can’t terminate this vermin’s existence. The maximum penalty this monster can get is life in prison.  

When time passes most people won’t remember Ernesto Reyes and sadly Melanie Goodwin’s name will fade as well from our thoughts. The pro-amnesty crowd will try to spin this as a poor mistreated individual that lashed out at society because he was discriminated against in some far fetched capacity. MALDEF, La Raza, the ACLU and the Mexican government will petition for their version of mitigating circumstances in his defense while these parents suffer that much more.

There is plenty of blood on everyone’s hands in the death of poor Melanie. The Judicial system failed her, ICE failed her and you and I failed her by permitting her murderer any chance of committing this act by our complacency with immigration reform and enforcing our borders. It is a shame this didn’t happen to a 9^th circuit court of appeals judge or how about a relative of Judge Munley in Pennsylvania. Melanie will be just another example of collateral damage while this government puts corporate profits above the lives of its citizens!  

The month of October brings out its ghouls, ghosts and goblins and this year is no different in our nation’s capitol.  The gobbler that comes to mind, no pun intended, is the Senator from Utah, Larry Craig. “I’m not gay and never have been,” cries the Senator after the newspaper that has been dogging his deviant sexual escapades gets their break when Craig is caught soliciting homosexual sex in a Minnesota airport men’s room. Embarrassed by his arrest and fear of his detractors publicizing his peccadillos he pleads guilty. 

After counsel by his good friend and confederate open borders amnesty advocate, Arlen Specter, he is convinced that he should attempt to retract his guilty plea as if this would somehow exonerate his criminal act. He is told toe tapping in a public men’s room is not a crime but in the experience of the Minnesota police it is a colloquial invitation for those involved to engage in homosexual sex. He claims that he will resign his office if this guilty plea retraction is not accepted. Well guess what…the plea stays and so does Craig as a Senator. You can’t believe a word this man says.

I guess the Minnesota police could have deputized one of those pedophile priests to gather the pride of his passion dripping from the Senator’s chin as DNA evidence. As in the movie Porky’s they could have taken pictures of the offending organ along the perpetrators prison profiles posed for publication to the news media. (seven word beginning with ‘p’ in one sentence…that a record for me.) 

I understand a Chinese toy maker is creating Halloween masks in the likenesses of Larry Craig and Barney Frank for the family values minded parent. The mask manufacturer advertises, “wear the mask and it’ll put lead in your pencil.” If poisoned pixie sticks weren’t bad enough imagine adults wearing the likeness of these individuals escorting the kiddies to your front door begging for treats?

Seeing no biblical resolution on the horizon where the congressional sodomites are converted to a seasoning for a steak. I guess the people of Utah will bear the embarrassment of having Larry Craig as their Senator for at least the remainder of his term.  The republican party hopes as in the house of usher that this “Roderick Craig” will fade away into the depths of the earth before the 2008 elections. I would hope that all of the open borders amnesty advocates do the same!

For those that missed this there was a story in Nevada where a Mexican Flag was being flown above the Stars and Stripes. The video show a Vet with a combat knife rescuing old glory from a top a Hispanic establishment.

http://www.krnv.com/Global/story.asp?S=7156726&nav=menu113_3 

This is one that didn’t make the local news or even Lou Dobbs last night but it should have. This is another example of those people who advocate open borders having an allegiance to another country. One of the sacred symbols of our democracy is our flag. It represents the membership of 50 states and the red stripe on the bottom of the flag represents the blood that was shed to create and maintain the freedom we enjoy.

This act of disrespect comes as no surprise. While being taunted and insulted at the Irving Protest the other night I retorted why don’t you grow some balls and fix your own country before making demands on ours? The replies were, “we can’t, the government, it is too screwed up there and they have guns.” This coming from the gutless leaches demanding we forgo the enforcement of our laws to give them special accommodation. Even the former president of Mexico comes our nation to demand an end to immigration enforcement citing the illegal immigrants have rights! 

I guess this should be no surprise. The Mexican revolution and independence was fought by a priest and a gang of Indians and brigands while the government of Spain was knee deep in defending themselves against Napoleon. They recalled their army and left a minimal contingent to defend Spain’s interest in the new world. To keep the rebels together the priest allowed them the treasure captured in the impromptu raid. The next attempt ended in defeat and summary execution of the priest and his followers. Even after they won their independence, only because it was too costly for Spain to fight a war so far from home, they traded their independence for more dictators and oppression at their hands. Now they have an Oligarchy where the privileged and the elite run the country while the rest of the masses suffer in desperation and abject poverty. As the adage goes, “Clean up your own backyard before you crap in mine.”

I’d like to buy that Vet a beer and thank him for defending the honor of our flag and our nation and if the authorities dare to try and prosecute him I’ll send my monetary support to defend him. He defended our flag and I believe he will have the support of many others like me that think this was a heroic act. Thank you Jim Brosser, good job!

In this world of ours where everything you eat causes cancer, every bodily function causes global warming and everything you say can be considered a hate crime we’ve had for a long time a sinister agenda to mask the criminal offenses committed by the Hispanics. One of the most offensive examples of this is the ruling by Judge Munley in the injunction against the Hazleton ordinances. Judge Munley cited that the City of Hazleton was unable to prove that the illegal immigrants increase the level of crime in their community. How could they when the statistics are staked against them?

To try and clarify the FBI has what they call the,”Uniform Crime Reporting – UCR,” program. This is a program where the information gathered on the arrest reports is standardized according to the UCR requirements. When it comes to race the choices are, “White, Black, American Indian or Alaska Native and Asian and Pacific Islander.” It is said that Hispanic is an ethnic representation and not a race but when it comes to hate crime statistics they are represented well. The government believes its ok to show what “Brown can do for you” if they’re a victim but they’re white if they’re an offender. It wasn’t always this way. 

In a document @ http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/guidelines/guidelines under Appendix 1 - A brief history of the UCR program there is a statement that reads:

“the OMB authorized the FBI to collect data regarding the ethnic origin of persons arrested. The FBI collected ethnicity data from local and state law enforcement agencies until 1987, when the OMB's authorization expired. “ This little reference is the only thing I can find that remotely explains why we don’t track statistical information associated with criminal Hispanic offenders which leaves to question how does ICE look for criminal immigrants if you can’t classify them by their ethnicity. The UCR handbook defines the races as:

“The racial categories used in the UCR Program were adopted from the Statistical Policy Handbook (1978) published by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, U.S. Department of Commerce. The racial designations are defined as follows:

White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East.

Black. A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.

American Indian or Alaskan Native. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.

Asian or Pacific Islander. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands. This area includes, for example, China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, and Samoa.

UCR handbook page 97

http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/handbook/ucrhandbook04.pdf 

So I guess this leaves out the criminal Indians of the America’s south of our border? If you think this isn’t a problem then how do you explain all of the Hispanic population in our prison systems that have no direct correlation to the arrest statistics.

With the increased interest of the American people in protecting our sovereignty and eliminating illegal immigration it would stand to reason that we would want to know what the adverse effects are of the ethnic representations associated with illegal immigration. The problem is serious enough to mandate the collection of the ethnic statistical data seeing how we are killing more citizens in this nation than our solders that are being killed in the Iraq War
by the murdering, baby raping, drunk driving, illegal aliens. 

This politically correct gherkin jerkin manipulation of statistical data needs to stop or be applied equally under the law. If the Hispanics want to be white for statistical purposes then they can be excluded from all minority based incentives and programs. Yank the classification from MWBE and the SBA and then see who starts screaming.

For those Dollar Menuaires that can’t get enough of their daily intake of poly-uncircumsized fat they have a problem in Reno Nevada. Many of the McDonalds restaurants where shut down yesterday because they rounded up the staff as illegal immigrants. According to news accounts 56 employees were rounded up and taken away from an investigation into identity theft. 

No surprise that an owner of multiple McDonalds under investigation now feigns surprise and says, "As an employer, I do not knowingly hire or employ undocumented or unauthorized workers," What he doesn’t want to admit that someone in his organization does!

I bet there is a new course added to the burger school that all owners are required to complete before opening a McDonalds’ restaurant; “Are your employees McLegal?” 

What are missing from these enforcement actions are the owners accompanying their employees to jail in hand cuffs. If there is good enough reason to arrest the workers then there ought to be enough suspicion that their employer had some part in this. Identity theft exists because no one verifies the documents presented and that perpetuates the problem. It is much easier and cost effective to feign ignorance than to comply with the law. Tell the prospective employee, “ I’ll have to verify your identity with the government before I can employ you” and watch how many never call back to check on the job status. Better yet check with the government and verify their legal status, if they’re not legal then call DHS and tell them you just had someone attempt identity fraud and here is their information on where they can be found!

McDonalds can promote a new line of children’s toys to go along with their burgers. To accompany the Ham Burglar they could have the Bean Basher and the Taco Bender. Maybe they’ll take and distribute video games like Burger King where you chase the Bean Basher and the Taco Bender back across the border to win the game!

Yesterday evening I became part of a counter protest on behalf of the City of Irving. I was invited by email to support the police chief and the police department’s actions of enforcing the rule of law. Much has been made by the Hispanic community that the police department is guilty of racial profiling and people are being deported for minor traffic violations. From what I can determine this protest is again is a cry from a bunch that wants to be above the law as long as it suits their demands for entitlement. Protests like these are the result of all the past politically correct attempts at butt kissing to ameliorate that group’s perceived view of discrimination. 

The City of Irving has taken the step of enforcing the law instead of being influenced by knee jerk politically correct politicians fearing reprisals from an ethnic community. Their stance, “you have nothing to fear as long as you don’t break the law,” is finally a common sense approach to dealing with the issues that a city faces with any citizen group. It is not discriminatory to anyone. White, black, red and yellow…break the law and you’ll end up in their jail. What the Hispanics are so upset about is the illegal aliens incarcerated in their jail are turned over to ICE because they are in this country illegally. All inmates have their identity checked and when it is determined that they are an illegal alien they are turned over to ICE and ICE determines their disposition in regard to immigration law. Irving doesn’t deport these individuals; ICE does! It probably really helps that the ICE office is less than 10 miles down the road. It is close enough where a personal visit can dispel any fear that there are no personnel available to perform immigration enforcement duties.

So again here is another example of the pro-amnesty group wanting special treatment or entitlement to be here and leach off of our society. The news media was there in force to document one of the counter protester’s loss of temper and his subsequent arrest. What they didn’t show is the pushing and the taunting prior to this. The police tried to talk this man out of the crowd citing they couldn’t guarantee his safety if he remained there. He ended up grabbing the neck of the individual taunting him receiving a choke hold from a near by officer for his reward. 

Prior to this incident I talked at length to this individual that had his neck grabbed where he complained to me of being arrested for running a stop sign and being thrown in jail. He was caustic and initially insulting to me but we ended up having a civil conversation amongst the noise of the protesters.  He claimed he was singled out because of his race and wrongly arrested for the act described by the officer. I asked if he fought the ticket in court to where he replied that the court sent him a notice they were accepting his plea of no contest. He said that this was done by the court and he supposedly never pleaded no contest. The more I queried about his pursuit of justice the more he moved away from me. Just like a teenager that tries to justify his stupid decision to a stupid act the more he talked the more he left himself open to scrutiny and suspicion. He was taken back by my agreement with him that he was wronged if the circumstances he described were the case but as in most of situations such as this he was much more interested in being the victim and P’ and M’ing about it than seeking justice for himself.

This victim mentality runs rampant in our society. It makes no difference if you’re in violation of the law you’re a victim and you need special dispensation and immunity from prosecution. If you don’t give it to me I’ll boycott your shopping mall. I bet the champagne corks are popping in the proprietors offices drooling over the 100% reduction of shoplifting and corresponding monetary loss associated with it. “Maybe business will improve and our loyal paying customers will return and patronize our stores!”

For those pundits of comprehensive amnesty and open borders claiming enforcement is ineffective in reducing illegal immigration need to look no further than Irving Texas where now even the Mexican consulate warns their illegal brethren to stay away from this community. Enforce the laws of this nation and prosecute the employers of illegal aliens; could it be that simple? I think Sheriff Joe says the same thing! Are you listening Washington?

Today someone in congress showed an inkling of independence and courage to question someone’s qualifications by using a little common sense. Senator McCaskill questioned Julie Meyers, ICE interim chief, how many employers have been prosecuted for employing illegal aliens?

Ms. Myers replied she would have to get back to the fine senator. I’d liken this to sweepstake gimmicks from my youth. Do you remember, “guess how many jelly beans are in the jar and win the car,” before this became a politically correct issue. First someone complained about the color of the beans. Then someone complained that there weren’t enough black jelly beans among the rainbow colors. Then they complained the shape of the beans indicated gender preference by being egg shaped. Finally Texaco executives put an end to the jelly bean discussion all together when they used them to describe the racial balance of the employees of the corporation emphasizing certain colors with a smile and a smirk. 

Now to reply to the fine senator with a quantitive figure means that there are businesses with real names that might be embarrassed by this fact and their identities could be revealed by a Freedom of Information Act request. Or maybe it might be revealed that no one asked any of the illegal aliens deported who employed them while they’re here. I find it suspect that all of these employers that have been raided by ICE are not found culpable in employing illegal aliens. I also find it just as suspect that it takes more than a few minutes to determine how many employers were prosecuted. This frightens the chamber of commerce that the criminals in their midst might be publicized as such. This frightens the businesses of client and consumer retaliation for being criminals by not using their services or purchasing their products. This frightens the pro-amnesty bunch because they know employer enforcement will destroy the amnesty movement!

So Senator McCaskill’s innocent question becomes as politically correct as the jelly bean in a jar and ICE’s reply is to stonewall Senator McCaskill. To help Senator McCaskill I propose we ask our Senators to demand an answer to the Senator’s question! Call or write your senator before the senate votes to confirm Julie Meyers.

This past weekend I went to a meeting of the Fort Worth chapter of Citizens for Immigration Reform where Bill Zedler, Texas House Representative for the 96^th district, was the guest speaker. Mr. Zedler is one of the most prolific bill writers when it comes to immigration reform.

Speaking to a small audience in a conference room of the Hurst Library he shared his and other representatives’ efforts of trying to enact legislation to discourage illegal immigration by removing some of the incentives this state provides. He recapped many of the bills and their purpose but also shared some of the shenanigans that the committee chair did in placing road blocks and enacting procedural impediments to where these bills never came to the house floor.

The biggest impediment was the chair’s requirement that the state Attorney General had to approve the bills to pass constitutional muster. This has never happened before in the house by a committee chair. Next was a procedure enacted in the ‘30s  when the house had approximately 300 bills per session that new bills couldn’t be debated on the house floor until a certain time limit had elapsed. This rule has been suspended as a regular procedure for many years until this year and the introduction of the immigration related bills. He said it was obvious the influence of the corporate pro-amnesty influence was very apparent this year. But he said that there is still hope. The bills will be reintroduced and assigned to another committee other than the State Affairs Committee.

As I’ve pontificated in the past we have the best Government that money can buy. An individual can’t influence a representative unless he plans to bribe him with the appropriate amount that that person considers worthy of his time. The only way to compete against the special interests is to bend their ears in mass because it is the votes of the individuals that they prize the most. Those in District 87 really need to bend the ear of David Swinford and ask him why it was necessary to send all of the immigration bills to the Attorney General.

Speaking of holding those accountable for their promises brings to mind our current Governor! This was the guy that promoted border enforcement that is now promoting Mexico’s invasion agenda. He has pushed Merck’s Gardasil as a State Mandate while having private ties to the manufacturer and its representatives. He vetoed the legislation that would have put a moratorium on the Trans Texas Corridor and the NAFTA highway while promoting more foreign controlled Texas toll roads. Here is government at its best. State property, state funds and state taxes are used to subsidize foreign interests at the expense of the local tax payer. Face it…those that use these toll ways are sending their hard earned dollars to a foreign interest right from their own back yard and they didn’t even have the chance to comment on this decision rammed up their rectal cavity. What’s next; the use of eminent domain for shopping malls and sports stadiums? Oh that’s already been done…pardon me!

The laws of probability will be proven when a drunk Mexican national pilots an 18 wheeler killing the citizens of this nation. There will be those that cry in the aftermath that documents the incident that they’re  a racist and xenophobic condemnation biased by the bigots documenting the circumstances and those that approved the presence of these drivers will abstain from any responsibility for the tragedy. There will be those that suffer the ultimate loss of a loved one while enduring the apathy of those around them thankful it didn’t happen to their family. The driver will probably do as most illegal aliens; run and hide in back Mexico avoiding prosecution while the Mexican government will protest the treatment of their national in this country. Maybe if the death toll is large enough it will galvanize enough of us to take action and stop this lunacy. Lord knows the individual acts and the small body counts are treated as collateral damage and forgotten as fast as they happen.

Yesterday Byron Dorgan successfully passed an amendment to the transportation bill that would shut down the pilot program of allowing Mexican trucks to travel anywhere within our borders. It was surprising to see the bipartisan participation in this amendment but more surprising to see our Texas senators voting against this amendment. This Democrat from North Dakota has represented the residents of the state of Texas better than our own Senators.This leaves the question where does our Senators allegiance lie?

In my activism against illegal immigration and illegal aliens I’ve always been suspect of the intentions of our Senators in Washington. Cornyn champions the defeat of the Grand Bargain but voted against the Vitter Amendment which would have put an end to the amnesty legislation immediately…Why? It was told to me by Cornyn’s assistant that is the bill voting for the Vitter amendment would have limited his ability to add useful legislation to the bill. If you want to kill it then why would you want to modify it and make it better. Then at a town hall meeting he publicly states he is in favor of a guest worker program to which he received the jeers of the audience. He never cited any statistics that justified guest workers or the empirical data to support his intentions.

Jon Kyle the previous champion of anti-illegal immigration position in the Senate and then gets in bed with Bush and Kennedy and comes up with the grand bargain. Lindsay Graham calls the opponents of the legislation racists and Bigots but sings a different tune now. It leads me to believe that they are influenced by those who have the most bucks to pay for their political positions and our senators are no different. Hutchinson signs on to having the businesses perform the immigration duties in Mexico before bringing the potential employees to the states. Talk about having the wolf running hen house!

What is totally insulting to me is I perceive the senators think they have the best interests at heart despite what their constituents think. This Governor of Texas runs his campaign on border security then at the last minute vetoes legislation that would have prevented the trans Texas corridor that his constituents are vehemently against. This road way to link Monterrey Mexico to the US will decimate the US ports, circumvent any revenue from port fees and tariffs and be a security night mare. We are given promises that this cargo will be checked but then official memos appear that the border patrol is to forgo inspections if the traffic gets too heavy? As I stated in my last article about truck safety in Texas in 35 years I’ve seen one weigh station open checking trucks. That is like saying we’ll inspect these trucks like we’ll build and implement border fences!

Senators Cornyn and Hutchinson need to find out how fickle our support can be when they deviate from the will of the people. I can only hope that there will be some alternate candidates that truly want to serve and represent the wishes of the citizens of Texas instead of the corporate masters that line their coffers. If there are I’m listening!

One of the rights of passage as a parent is to have your child at a friend’s or acquaintance’s house on their own. You worry that they will behave and represent you and the family well. This same right of passage applies to having someone else’s child in your home beyond their eyesight and control. You definitely judge that other family by first impressions and the actions of that child. The same could be said for people from other countries.

Felipe Calderone, president of Mexico, recently said, “I have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico. And, for this reason, the government action on behalf of our countrymen is guided by principles, for the defense and protection of their rights." Think of this quote as a parent hearing this from the other parent defending their ill mannered little monster’s actions. I wouldn’t be able to show them the door fast enough with the admonishment, “Don’t come back.”

Well Mr. Calderone I extend to you the same admonishment. Take your identity thieving, illegal alien, child raping, drunk driving burdens on our society back to your country and keep them there. You and your scum are not welcome in this country or my home. You need to learn some manners and abide by the rules of this country. Learn the meaning of the words, invited, legally apply, quota, border and the rule of law. Your people’s actions and your attitude is the reason fences are built and the one between you and us can’t be constructed fast enough!

And while you're at it take these butt kissing RINOs and catholic priests with you!
