Oregon lawmaker to patrol border for illegal immigrants
An Oregon state lawmaker plans to travel to Arizona this week to assist in patrolling the U.S.-Mexican border -- by using his own small plane -- in an effort to quell the influx of immigrants crossing into the United States illegally.
“I’m trying to do what the government ought to be doing, and that’s securing that border,” said Rep. Jeff Kropf, a Republican from Sublimity.
Jeff Kropf is one of the few legislators that I have any respect for. He is a true public servant who follows his heart and his constituents.
Make sure you listen to Jeff Kropf's show, Weekend Edition Live, on KXL 6-9am.
As for the other guy quoted in this article, Farmer Bob Zielinski Jr, I would be ashamed to admit to anyone that the industry I work for would "shut down" without being able to break the law. I would be ashamed to say that I "need" criminals to work for me or I couldn't compete. You are a failure of a businessman and if you can't play by the rules then you should shut down.

Mexican consul excuses rape
Fernando Sanchez Ugarte, the Mexican consul based in Portland, said young immigrants sometimes run afoul of the law because they have trouble making the transition to a new culture.
Some problems, he said, are culture clashes.
"If a boy is 18 or 20 and he likes a girl who is maybe 14 or 15, he speaks to the parents and they go to a house together until they can save money for the kind of wedding they want," he said.
"They may live together for a year or two, the kids do exactly as they did at home. But here there are accusations of abuse of a minor. We have many in jail for that. ...These are rural, indigenous people. The boy may be good, clean, working, decent. It's not abuse. But that's hard to understand here."
SOURCE STORY
Thank you for that clarification Fernando. Mexican culture says it's ok for a 20 year old man to have sex with a 14 year old girl. I can see that Fernando (pictured below) read my "keep up the good work" post on how to really win the hearts and minds of the American public on this whole amnesty thing.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Actually let me say it a little bit clearer: We don't need any more baby-raping criminal aliens in this country and we need to get rid of the ones we have!
Fernando: A journal in pictures.
The man on the left is Oregon's govenor, the man on the right thinks that rape is just a cultural misunderstanding.
Unlike Kulongoski I don't pose for photo-ops with apologists for rapists, I argue with them.
Fernando is there on the right. He's behind a border that only Mexicans were allowed to cross. I'll let the irony of that sink in...
This is Fernando avoiding myself and fellow blogger Greg, who has an interesting post on his trip to our Senators' offices today, in Cornelius. At this point he is getting really tired of me following him around the state.
This is Fernado's ride, provided by Royal Moore Nissan.
And finally we have Fernando posing proudly next to the Chicken and Worm banner of Mexico.
Feel free to write to Fernando (put his name in the subject line) and tell him that we don't approve of rape in America and if his citizens want to have sex with underage girls then they need to go home! (If you really want to aggravate him then tell him I said "hi")

Those key demographics
Before our public servants in the senate (waits for laughter to die down...) vote for actually enforcing our laws, respecting our sovereignty and doing what a majority of their constituents actually want, they need to consider the demographics that they will be alienating in an election year by not supporting amnesty:
Meth addicts. "Our habits support your economy."
Gang members. "Let our homies stay."
Farmers. "Without slavery we can't remain competitive."
People who marry illegal aliens. "I'm irresponsible so you should change to law, do it for my children who I care enough about to have married a criminal alien who could be deported at any time and leave them fatherless."
Illegal aliens. "Si, we vote in Oregon. Viva Lorna Youngs."
Corrections deputies. "Hey, I enjoy the overtime."
State Workers. "Our clients keep us in business. What do you mean it's not a 'business' when your goal is to give stuff away?"
Drug lords. "Don't interfere with our system of transportation."
The Wall Street Journal. "Don't interfere with the drug lords commerce. Commerce is everything and we will support it no matter what."
The Oregonian. "We heard it's the liberal thing to do."

Sing it with me now
A legal immigrant (read: won't be pandered to by Specter/McCain/Kennedy) has the lyrics to a great new song posted on his blog!
Thanks to Polish Immigrant for turning me on to The Right Brothers who sing about everything from illegal aliens to pot to racial profiling. Classic stuff.
NOTE: Singing these in downtown Portland is not recommened as the protestors will throw rocks at you while Randy Leonard insists they have a 1st amendment right to do so...

Lars Larson opinion piece
“Real Immigrants respect the law”
The politically correct call these people immigrants, but what kind of immigrant enters illegally, works illegally, identifies himself illegally and sends every extra dime he makes back to his former home?
The $15 billion to $20 billion sent back to Mexico every year by illegals puts the lie to the idea that these so-called immigrants consider this their home. We are a fat cash cow illegals will milk until the cow goes dry.
Lars got his commentary printed in The Oregonian. I guess we can wrap our dead fish with last Friday's WSJ editorial page instead.
For those of you outside of Oregon you can stream Lars' local show here and his national show here.

Keep up the good work
Stars and Stripes flies again at Jupiter condos
Over the weekend, someone cut the ropes of the flagpole, stole the Stars and Stripes and replaced it with a Mexican flag. The action brought out the police and many stunned residents of the community off Central Boulevard, including Sue Miller, a board member.
"We had one man out there trying to snag the flag with a fishing pole, since we couldn't use the rope to bring down the Mexican flag," Miller said. "I think all of our residents were upset about this, and we have a very diversified population here."
"Frankly, if it has anything to do with the immigration movement — and I'm well versed on both the bills in Congress — I was on the lenient side before this flag went up, and now I've taken a hard line," he said. "The House bill makes it a felony for illegal aliens while the Senate bill is basically amnesty and citizenship.
Note to criminal aliens and their supporters: Please, please, please continue to show your true feelings. Please continue to show your contempt for this country that you invaded. Show your allegiance to that pitiful country that you left. Make it very clear to everyone who isn't paying attention now that you have no intention of assimilating, following our laws, speaking English or showing any respect to American citizens.
Please continue to march in the street while waving Mexican flags and gumming up traffic. Please continue to make absurd statements like "white Europeans should be deported" and "this is our land" and "we didn't cross the border, the border crossed us." (Link has audio courtesy of The Cheezer)
So keep up the good work you illegal aliens and illegal alien supporters. You are clearly winning the hearts and minds of the American public with your tactic of showing your true selves.

Thousands Protest Immigration Policies in New York City
Thousands of immigrants formed a line stretching more than a mile long Saturday as they marched across the Brooklyn Bridge, waving flags from more than a dozen countries as they demonstrated against possible immigration reform in Congress.
"We are your economy," said another.
"Ooooh, I'd eat that snake... the bird too!"
"We are your economy?" That's laughable. Unless he means that illegal aliens are Mexico's economy. What kind of pathetic country relies on it's citizens breaking the law and stealing from another countries prosperity?
The Banco de México (Mexico’s central bank) estimates that remittances from Mexicans living abroad will total US$17 billion in 2004, nearly 20 percent more than the most optimistic forecasts earlier this year that approximated US$14 billion.
Upon reaching this amount, money sent by fellow countrymen living abroad will become the main source of Mexico’s foreign exchange, over and above revenue from crude oil exports that is expected to be slightly more than US$16.665 billion in 2004, and far more than income from visiting international tourists who will spend US$10 billion.

What a pathetic country. I would be ashamed to fly Mexico's flag if I was one of their citizens.

Contact Senators!
I know that these criminal aliens, errr, undocumented workers want amnesty, errr, to regularize their status, because they just want to be Americans... as evidenced by this picture of how our good students in California have assimilated:
Human Events has given a survey to all US Senators and they have the complete list with contact info of everyone who will not vote for amnesty, who may vote for amnesty and who have ignored the question.
I would suggest contacting some of these people even if they aren't your senator.

Bush's "good hearted folks"
Bush has said several times that "family values don't stop at the Rio Grande."
Previously I have scoffed at this remark but I have seen the error of my ways. A close knit family of illegal immigrants have demonstrated that they really do stick together in tough times. I have been touched...
GENERO ESPINOSA DORANTES
He may be involved in the transportation of illegal aliens from Mexico into the United States. He may travel to North Carolina, Florida, Texas, or Mexico.
Dorantes may be traveling with his girlfriend, Martha L. Cano Patlan, who has also been charged with criminal homicide. They are believed to be accompanied by her young daughter, Mariana Cisneros, and their young son, Edgardo A. Espinosa. Both of these children may be in danger of serious harm.
See, they flee homicide prosecution together! We can only hope they are currently residing in one of the seven states that doesn't check ID to get a drivers license so that they have a chance to get insurance for their getaway mobile.

Undocumented Welder Topples Spanish Language Radio Towers
Arizona Spanish language radio station KMIA-AM (710) was knocked off the air this week when one or more undocumented welders used a blow torch to cut the steel support rods on four 197-foot tall radio towers, toppling them to the ground.
On the other hand, rebuilding the radio towers will contribute to the American economy and towers can be legally demolished by those with the proper paperwork. So perhaps the real problem here is simply that the aspiring welder did not have such documentation, which is often difficult for poor or uneducated people to come by.
Also of great concern was the fact that, because of his undocumented status, the so-called “illegal” welder was forced to work “in the shadows” in a dangerous desert environment.
Satire by Mac Johnson. Read it. HOMEPAGE
This can be a recurring theme, think of all the other crimes that can be considered "undocumented."
What about the poor folks who make undocumented bank withdrawls? Or take undocumented prescriptions? Or undocumented child-custody? What special interest groups will stand up for these people?

McCain's casa es mi casa
Hola. My name is Daniel Pedro Lopez Sanchez-Mendez. I live in a small house. I have often looked to the horizon at larger houses and thought of the opportunity they would afford me and my family.
With the encouragement of my government (who wants to demolish my house and put in a shoppping mall for increased tax revenue) I have decided to do what's best for my family and move... to John McCain's house.
Huge bathrooms, 3 car garages, chandeliers and large screen tv's are some of the rights that I get denied in my own house. At McCain's house I am able to excercise my rights.
At first he won't notice I'm there, or if he does he will simply turn a blind eye because we will stay out of his way. His neighbors will love me because I will offer to babysit their kids and undercut the prices of the local high schoolers who are currently doing it. I am able to do this because I'm living in McCain's house, feeding the children with McCain's food, using McCain's electricity and water.
But soon I will get more comfortable. I will move my family from the basement to the living room. One day McCain will come home to find me in the master bedroom, soiling his sheets.
When he protests his neighbors will all defend me, I have been a great conveniance in their lives. They will shame McCain for trying to defend his own house.
As a possible compromise they will suggest that me and my family can stay in his house for an additional 6 years while I continue to eat his food, use his electricity and water and helping myself to his medicine cabinet.
Everyone will be happy.

House Conservatives Slam Immigration Bill
House conservatives criticized President Bush, accused the Senate of fouling the air, said prisoners rather than illegal farm workers should pick America's crops and denounced the use of Mexican flags by protesters Thursday in a vehement attack on legislation to liberalize U.S. immigration laws.
"Anybody that votes for an amnesty bill deserves to be branded with a scarlet letter A," said Rep. Steve King of Iowa, referring to a guest worker provision in the Senate measure.
The irony of it is that the farmers would still be relying on criminals! I say let them mechanize and we should relax our child labor laws.
It is heartening to hear statements from our true Representatives in the House.

Don't give them a penny (or a peso)
Obviously we don't need to give money to the RNC or any candidate that thinks amnesty is something to vote for.
If we do end up with amnesty I will also blame the ag industry for pushing so hard. My new rallying cry will be "save the suckerfish, cut off the farmers water!"
If you want to ruin this countries culture, ruin my kid's schools, depress wages, and reward criminal behavior all in the name of have slave laborers then I think that the fish are more important than you.
By "sides" they mean "for amnesty" or "really for amnesty"
Senators Take Sides on Illegal Immigration
While that question hangs over a Senate debate on border security and immigration, most senators agree on allowing undocumented workers to stay at least temporarily. The fight is over whether they should have to leave three years to six years down the road.
Even senators who oppose providing a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants are willing to grant them temporary legal status as long as they register with the government, pay fines and eventually leave.
I think that we as conservatives have been focused on the wrong problem. We have been screaming about the courts for quite some time now since they are unelected and not representative of the people yet they have perverted our consitution into allowing them to make decisions of enormous consquence.
But even worse is the fact that our elected leaders do not represent us and are making decisions that do not reflect the will of a huge majority of Americans.
My opinion on what to do with current lawbreakers: Simply enforce our current laws!! They are not allowed to work and they are not allowed to get social services. If we actually take those things away then they will go home.
And a commentor asked how illegal aliens are criminals, let me break it down:
Crime #1
EWI (entry without inspection) is a violation of federal law
212(a) (6) (A) (I) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1996 (the INA), "Entry Without Inspection."
They came here illegaly.
Crime #2
Not eligible to work in the United States
Immigration Reform Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-603)
You are not allowed to work.
Or Crime #2
Not eligible for public assistanceTITLE 8 > CHAPTER 14 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 1611
You are not allowed to get public assistance.
Crime #3
Form I-9
“I attest, under penalty of perjury, that I am (check one of the following”
not an illegal alien
I am aware that federal law provides for imprisonment and/or fines for false statements or use of false documents in connection with the completion of this form.
Crime #4
Social Security # (Form I-9, W-4, etc)
Identity theft, forgery, perjury
Whose SSN are they using on various forms? The government does offer an ITIN (number exclusively for illegal aliens) but how many criminals approach our government to ask for it? It should be taken away.
So these are crimes committed by the people who are "just here to work hard." This doesn't include the disproportionate share of our jails and prisons that are occupied by illegal aliens. They are criminals and we don't get to choose what laws we follow and what laws we ignore.

Oregon Legislative Audits Panel Reviews DHS Spending Practices
State Representative Jerry Krummel (R-Wilsonville), the Committee Co-Chair, said the report "raises serious questions about whether DHS has been engaging in an expensive shell game involving millions of tax dollars."
Earlier this month, the Secretary of State's Audits Division found that nearly $90 million had been moved from one account to another potentially violating state law and the Oregon Constitution. The audit also noted $27 million in federal Medicaid funds may have been mismanaged.
Kudos to Rep Krummel for looking into this but I'm just not hopeful that any heads will roll. It becomes clearer everyday that government doesn't believe that the laws apply to them.
You have to tax property equally? We'll just invent something called abatements for people we like! Evironmental laws apply to Portland? Not if we sue! Enforce our immigration laws? La-la-la-la, we're not listening...

Lesson learned
We learned a valuable political lesson recently with the nomination of Harriet Miers. If we make a big enough stink our (alleged) Republican legislators will listen.
We need to make a big stink about amnesty. They shouldn't be able to even talk to their staff because they are so busy answering our phone calls, deleting our emails and opening envelopes with this years political contributions... one peso.
Leave a comment here but also leave a comment on Gordon Smith's answering machine!
