AG: Cops must ask suspects for immigration status

Attorney General Anne Milgram today ordered all local police officers in New Jersey to inquire about the immigration status of suspects charged with serious crimes, and to notify federal immigration authorities if there is reason to believe the suspect is in the country illegally.

The requirements, which go into effect immediately, apply to suspects arrested for specific indictable offenses and for driving while intoxicated, Milgram said. If the suspect is unable to prove he or she is legally in the United States, the police officer is required to notify Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, she said. The policy also specifies that prosecutors and courts be notified.

Why shouldn’t such commonsense rules apply to all arrests in all states? Why is it left up to individual AGs to call for this, and why apply it only in some cases?

We hear from our leaders that they don’t have the resources to seek out illegal aliens. They say absurd things like, "We don’t have 12 million handcuffs." But they already have some of the worst aliens in handcuffs. All they have to do is make the same sort of check Bush’s recent "crackdown" requires of employers.

Why does the Bush administration require employers to check workers but doesn’t require law enforcers to check criminals?

NJ’s action will likely be attacked and thwarted by the usual legal 5th columnists. Gonzales may even step in – against NJ. And even if the rules stand, and even if they are copied by other states, why should anyone expect ICE to deport the illegal aliens referred to them? Given their performance so far I think we can safely expect a whole lotta nothing.

How did we get here? Well it has more than a little to do with the traitorous sentiments of government officials with regard to so-called sanctuary cities:

In Newark and other cities with large immigrant populations, officials note that detectives investigating robberies, rapes and murders already are struggling to develop informants among a population fearful of the police. Adopting the role of immigration cops would make that job even tougher and allow criminals to go free and commit even more crime, they have said.

"I do not want to create a chill in my community where people are afraid to come forward to police and report crimes," Newark Mayor Cory Booker said last week. "Undocumented immigrants and immigrants within our city are an important part of our fabric. And my police department, it is not their role or responsibility."

About one in five of New Jersey’s 8.7 million residents was born in other countries, according to U.S. Census figures. The state is also home to an estimated 450,000 illegal immigrants.

Note the illogic. Adding an immigration status check to the booking process won’t turn detectives into "immigration cops", and deporting illegal alien criminals would surely reduce crime not "allow criminals to go free and commit even more crime". Why in the world aren’t the mayor and his unnamed "officials" more concerned about the safety of the legal residents than they are about frightening illegal aliens?

Beyond the faulty reasoning behind sanctuary policies, why does our Executive Branch tolerate their open defiance of federal law? If an example was made out of one sanctuary city (I nominate Newark) many of the rest would quickly fall into line.

"Immigration enforcement" has become an oxymoron. Our leaders prove it by their unwillingness to stop even the most flagrantly illegal activity. They make excuses for violent criminals. And when they act they deliberately get their priorities backward. It would be a farce if it weren’t for the tragic consequences.

If we don’t take urgent steps to repulse this invasion it will doom us to the dustbin of history. What hope can we have when our leaders, many of whom have sworn to protect our people and uphold our constitution, betray us and side with the invaders?

I left a comment on this item at Lonewacko where he notes the New York Times has finally acknowleged attrition as an immigration strategy – if only to deride it as a “flood of misery” and “pest control”.

LW, your point is well taken. But they are only throwing out the attrition bone as a distraction. A false compromise. Much like the “crackdown” headlines today used to cover govt actions that are 50% “streamlining”. And of course the 50% enforcement part is calculated to stir up support for “reform”. A few raids to energize the Ladeeenyos, some fines to energize businesses. The “crackdown” is a farce, as is the NYT nod to attrition.

Faced with the perennial nonsensical arguments in favor of immigration and their imperviousness to any logic, reason, or empirical evidence to the contrary, I for one am now openly and loudly in favor of mass deportations.

Boxcars, detention centers, random stops, neighborhood sweeps, shattered dreams, crying babies. Cry me a river. I’m for stopping immigration cold. ALL immigration. I’m for deporting foreign-born criminals and Muslims – regardless of immigration or naturalization status.

Furthermore I accept the labels “racist”, “xenophobe”, “nativist”, “bigot”, “fascist”, etc. I used to think these words meant something bad. Nowadays I see that they are only used to intimidate good people from doing what is right and just.

The immigration invasion is inflicting far worse consequences on Americans than any “mass deportation” would inflict on aliens. We have every right to expect our laws to be enforced, including mass deportation if that’s what it takes.

We can’t settle for “pest control” because then we’ll only get some lame mix of amnesty and attrition. Fearless active prosecution is the only way to undo the great harm that’s already been done. The big problem: can a government so compromised, so corrupt, so inept, so illegitimate be expected or trusted to actually do this?

Bush, Chertoff, Gonzales, Gutierrez, et al can’t be trusted to do it. The NYT, WSJ, LAT, et al can’t be trusted to report it. Thwarted in their recent naked grab, AKA Comprehensive Immigration Reform, these quislings have just shifted back to incremental steps toward opening while trying to dupe us that it’s the opposite.

I have no intention of being melodramatic, but it seems clear that the only way the immigration invasion is going to be stopped is by changing our leadership and reversing their policies. In other words: revolution.

By the way, the “crackdown” story starts with a paragraph that gives away the scam:

The Bush administration announced plans Friday to enlist state and local law enforcement in cracking down on illegal immigrants, which previously was largely a federal function.

All it takes to see through this phoney baloney is knowledge of a few things that, unfortunately, most citizens don’t know:

A) The ACLU has had great success over the last few years intimidating state and local law enforcement from doing anything about “illegal immigrants” with the argument that any attempt to do so usurps the federal government’s sole responsibility to enforce immigration laws. The Feds are well aware that dictators in black robes have sided with the ACLU, so they know any attempt to enlist state and local governments in immigration will get defanged in court, just as the “enforcement” portion of any Comprehensive Immigration Reform would. Add the federal court system to the revolution’s todo list.

B) “Illegal immigrant” is a sympathetic euphemism for “illegal alien”, which is the proper and legally correct term. This may be the writer’s phrasing rather than the Bush administration, but with Harry Reid calling them undocumented Americans it’s clear that even lawmakers prefer weasel words when talking about immigration.

C) It is a mischaracterization to say “cracking down on illegal immigrants, which previously was largely a federal function” because there has been no crackdown on illegal immigrants since Operation Wetback in the 1950s, and they aren’t even pretending to start anything worthy of being called a “crackdown” now. Some fines, some extra agents. That’s not a crackdown, it’s a pathetic charade. Immigration is a fundamental governmental responsibility which has in the last few decades, especially these past six years of the current administration, been a notorious example of disfunction.

The country is literally being invaded and all these twits can do is shuffle papers and whimper about how they didn’t get their Comprehensive Reform?

Leaving Aztlan

5 Comments

I just returned from a brief trip to scout out a new home in a different state. A friend asked how it went. I said, "It was great. It’s still America there." He laughed. It isn’t funny.

My family and I will be uprooting our lives and leaving Aztlan soon. We don’t know where exactly we’ll end up, but for sure it won’t be anywhere in CA, AZ, NM, TX, NV, or CO. We don’t want to live under Ladeeenyo rule. Does that make me a racist?

I don’t give a fuck.

What I know is we’re tired of the endless Ladeeenyo demands for special treatment for "their people". They talk and act like a harmless oppressed minority even though they are more and more clearly growing into a spiteful vindictive majority. Like a horde of locusts they’ve descended on my once sleepy American town and are busily transforming it into a crowded, dangerous, Tijuana-like shithole of a slum. The value of my property is evaporating even while the values in more distant "nice" neighborhoods continue to climb. SoCal is balkanizing into ever more sharply divided ethnic enclaves, and my house is on the wrong side of the divide.

Our schools, once among the best in the state, now rate amongst the worst. Their funds and a ridiculous amount of teacher time are consumed by more and more kids who speak no English. Why don’t they put all the ESL kids in their own class? Because then we wouldn’t get to celebrate diversity together. One painfully bilingual word at a time.

The local government’s every attempt to pass ordinances that might reduce the massive illegal population have been met by loud-mouthed bigots screaming for "rights" for "their people". As in Hazleton, MALDEF and the ACLU lawyers happily work pro bono to keep the ordinances from going into effect. Their absurd argument: only the federal government can enforce immigration law. Wonderful. When an illegal alien hurts someone they love I dearly hope that argument haunts them.

So my once lovely town is going down the toilet. As is the rest of southern CA, and the rest of Aztlan. El Presidente Bush will do nothing to stop the invasion. He’s the one who threw it into high gear.

We don’t need a fence. We don’t need 20 million handcuffs. What we need is a president who feels enough loyalty to America to actually defend it. We can fantasize about something like Eisenhower’s Operation Wetback. Perhaps something better. With a loyal American president we could surely work out the details and solve our problems. Without a loyal American president none of the details matter.

Since the invasion will surely continue I can see only one course of action. Dunkirk it out of here. To find other people like myself and my family. To find some place that is still America, where American traditions and culture are still valued and celebrated. Where American history and heroes haven’t been replaced with Mexican history and heroes, or some equally thin gruel of multicultural utopian double-talk. Where there are no gangs and the police and government are not controlled by ethnocentric bigots who brazenly do everything they can to benefit their own kind at the expense of everyone else.

One of America’s greatest strengths has always been taking in immigrants from cultures around the world, and assimilating them into our country as Americans. By being citizens of the U.S. we are Americans first, and only, in our national loyalties.

This is totally opposed by MEChA for the hordes of illegal immigrants pouring across our borders, to whom they say:

"Chicano is our identity; it defines who we are as people. It rejects the notion that we…should assimilate into the Anglo-American melting pot…Aztlan was the legendary homeland of the Aztecas … It became synonymous with the vast territories of the Southwest, brutally stolen from a Mexican people marginalized and betrayed by the hostile custodians of the Manifest Destiny." (Statement on University of Oregon MEChA Website, Jan. 3, 2006)

MEChA isn’t at all shy about their goals, or their views of other races. Their founding principles are contained in these words in "El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan" (The Spiritual Plan for Aztlan):

"In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal gringo invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny. … Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. … We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan. For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada."

That closing two-sentence motto is chilling to everyone who values equal rights for all. It says: "For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing."

Emphasis mine.

I’ve had recent conversations with a few other local Anglo/Guero/Pilgrims and mentioned that I’m leaving.

"Why?", they ask.

"Because we don’t want to live in Aztlan", I say.

"Aztlan? What’s that?" When I explain they screw up their face. "What? That’s not true. You believe in conspiracy theories? What are you, an ignorant racist?"

It’s easy to see how they don’t know about Aztlan, or MEChA, or how CA Lt Governor Cruz Bustamonte and LA Mayor Tony Villaraigosa and untold numbers of other powerful Ladeeenyos belong to it and support its reconquista agenda. Because our fair and balanced ever vigilant watchdog media finds such facts unworthy of note.

Why is that? I know. Because Aztlan is a conspiracy theory. And I’m a racist for believing it. Unfortunately for me that doesn’t mean the reconquista isn’t really happening.

So my family and I, like so many other despicable closet racists before us and so many more sure to come, are looking to move to a "nice place" with "good schools" and "friendly people". If such a place still exists.

If we were Ladeeenyos the media would spew endless epic verse about our plight, how our family is "migrating" and being "torn apart" by "oppressive racists" as we "seek a better life". Instead, the invasion has cost us dearly and it will cost us even more now as we try to get back to the quality of life we once had. And for noticing this injustice we are labeled filthy racists.

The sudden realization that we are only one of many families faced with this dim reality brings new understanding to headlines that I previously perceived as nothing more than disjoint babble. What I see is that a large fraction of our societal woes result directly from massive immigration. And a large fraction of our supposedly booming economy (notably real estate and construction) arises from the senseless displacement caused by people fleeing those societal woes.

Heckuva job El Presidente! Fearless reportage El Media!

Please read this if you’re still convinced that immigration is wonderful and necessary. The problem is not that nobody sees what is happening. The problem is that not enough people see. Or too many are afraid of being called racist. That’s changing, but it’s too little too late to save SoCal.

The Disconnect

7 Comments

I don’t often comment at other blogs. I don’t write much, and part of the idea behind this blog was to consolidate what little I do. But I was moved today to comment on this article at Vanishing American. It concerns the open betrayal of our country by our politicians and their double-standards on racism. It ends with a question I felt I had some small insight on, having just noted the distorted lens most of us view most of our larger world through (AKA the media) in an article titled It’s the Invasion Stupid.

Here is my comment to Vanishing American’s question about the disconnect he sees:

Many are aware but silent. They see problems all around them but don’t associate them with immigration. Or don’t want to be called racist for noticing. Or consider the danger of speaking out to outweigh the value (for themselves).

The disconnect is in the media. Not only do they not report the many ill consequences of immigration, they’re constantly telling the public how wonderful it is, and that if you disagree you must be deranged (xenophobic/racist/conspiracist).

I’m a well-educated political independent who pays attention to current events. Yet until 2005 they had me snowed. I just focused on my work and figured if there was a really serious threat the media and govt would discuss and deal with it.

What I didn’t account for was the absolute control the leftist-liberal worldview has on our education, media, and politics. They don’t think erasing our borders and replacing our population with one from the 3rd world is a “threat”. Hell, they’re actively planning and implementing it.

That’s the disconnect. They’re are plenty of people who see the threat. And there are plenty of people who will profit from it. The media tells the former “you’re crazy and alone”, and tells the latter “you are the new majority”.

I also use my blog to gather important links. I recently added several links to smaller blogs focused on the threat of immigration. Among these are Vanishing American, Western Survival, Katie’s Dad 2.0, Saber Point, and Old Atlantic Lighthouse.

You might consider some of these nativist or bigoted or racist. At this point I couldn’t care less what mindless slurs people throw. More and more I find those derided by our media as “haters” are the ones speaking the truth. Meanwhile they elevate the true haters to saintly status for their religion’s “peace” or their ethno-centric “family values” they brought with them when they jumped our border to demand their rights.

Many of the links above came directly or indirectly from reading Lawrence Auster. Unlike our supposedly brave all-knowing watchdog media and our supposedly fair and intelligent politicians Auster actually comes out day after day with truly insightful, brave, logical, independent analysis. His view makes much more sense than the leftist-liberal mindset that currently permeates our popular culture and political thought. He (and the small blogs linked above) regularly point out things that expose our leaders as, at best, ideological hacks lost in muddled thoughts and false pretenses.
