Pennsylvania Legislation Seeks to End Sanctuary Cities in PA

Good news for all Pennsylvania residents?. I wonder if Reading, Norristown and Philadelphia will get the memo that their days as ?sanctuary cities? are numbered? I urge you to call your PA rep and tell them you support the entire legislation package sponsored by Daryl Metcalfe? It?s ALL good as they say and is a BIG step in the right direction for Pennsylvania.

I live near Norristown and it makes me SICK to see an entire section of the ?West End? turned into a Little Mexico. The sign at the bottom of the strip says ?Historic Shopping District? but it should say ?Historic Puebla Mexico? instead.

Jose Medellin has been judged and convicted of murder here on earth and a few minutes after 6:00 pm CDT he will be standing before God to be judged.

Medellin execution on after pleas fail
Mexican citizen is moved closer to death chamber despite objections

(He has been moved from Death Row to the ready room.)

Denver Post

Execution set for today for Mexican man

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico ? Texas officials cleared the way Monday for the execution of Jose Medellin, one of 51 Mexican nationals on U.S. death row, for his role with five other members of a Houston gang in the 1993 murder and rape of two teenage girls.

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles on Monday rejected Medellin's request for a reprieve. Medellin, 33, is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 6 p.m. CDT today.


Star-Telegram

WASHINGTON ? As he awaits execution Tuesday for the brutal rape and murder of two Houston teenagers 15 years ago...

Allison Castle, a spokeswoman for the governor, "This is an individual who along with five others brutally and viciously gang-raped, stomped, kicked, slashed, strangled and murdered two young teenage girls. We don?t care where you?re from. If you commit a despicable crime like this in Texas, you?ll face the ultimate penalty under our laws."

"Jose Medellin is nothing more than a poster boy for the death penalty," said Jennifer?s father, Randy Ertman, who now lives in a country residence near Somerville with Sandra, his wife of more than 30 years. "He?s been on Death Row longer than Jennifer was alive."

The execution is scheduled for after 6 p.m. Tuesday. Medellin, 33, has declined the customary last meal and nearly all media requests for interviews, said Michelle Lyons, spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Victim?s father counts down days to Medellin?s execution

HOUSTON -- One of Houston's most notorious killers is set to die on Tuesday. And with just three days before gang-rapist Jose Medellin is scheduled to be executed, Adolfo Pena, the father of one his victims, says he's counting down the days to justice. ?He is still a scumbag to me. And like I said, he deserves to die,? said Pena.



Herald Tribune

US warns of Mexico protests on day of execution

MEXICO CITY: The U.S. Embassy in Mexico is warning Americans of possible protests next week when a Mexican man is scheduled to be executed in Texas.

(What are they going to do, close the border and stop illegals from entering the US? Order all illegals in the US to sit down on the job? I wish...)

http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publis...le_27838.shtml

On June 24, 1993, then-18-year-old Medell?n and six other young men gathered in a Houston park for a fight that served as an initiation rite into the Black and White gang. After the fight was over, the teenagers were walking along a set of nearby railroad tracks when they passed two young girls, 14-year-old Jennifer Ertman and 16-year-old Elizabeth Pe?a. The boys grabbed them; the two girls were raped multiple times, strangled, and left for dead.

Hanging should still be available for executing criminals!

bump-bump-bump... and another one bites the dust!

An illegal alien murderer was executed today at approximately 6:00 PM C.D.T.

William O'Brien of Holland Michigan killed by an illegal alien

Here is a news report of a death that was 100% preventable. If the government did its job and secured the borders, prosecuted employers that hire illegals, and actually dod more than a few showplace raids followed by actual deportations instead of catch-and-release.

http://www.woodtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=8734301

Man faces charges, deportation after fatal crash

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich (WOOD) - A Holland man now faces felony charges and deportation after police say he caused an accident killing a motorcyclist.

It happened Wednesday night at the intersection of Riley and Butternut in Ottawa County just before 8 p.m.

The motorcyclist, 52-year-old William O'Brien from Holland, was killed when he couldn't avoid a minivan turning left onto Riley.

Rodrigo Dela Cruz, 25, has been charged with a felony for causing the death. He's also facing deportation.

Police say Dela Cruz is an illegal immigrant and the Feds are involved.

He's in the Ottawa County jail on a $100,000 bond.

===

The real travesty would be if the feds are allowed to take custody of him for immediate deportation. This would result in this criminal being turned free in Mexico. He would be back in the US shortly and probably back in the Holland, Michigan area within a week. He must at least go through the local courts (and some jail time) before deportation. If he reappears, cops should pick him up for violation of federal laws. He will be a convicted felon at that time anyway.

A GOP and DNC common boiler plate issue

Here is a shared GOP and DNC campaign issue this year. The Democrats are known as the pander party, and at least for this election, the GOP joins in the pander chorus. If a known unrepentent belly crawling panderer is the standard bearer then the GOP is the party of pandering too.

Here is GOP and DNC boiler plate:

[If you want to use this image, copy it to a free image hosting site.]

Over the past two years (2006-2007) we have seen a variety of supposedly rock solid Republicans come out of the closet on the issue of softening the immigration laws, giving some form of amnesty to illegal alien border jumpers and those who have overstayed visas that expired. They want unrestricted immigration in the form of multi-millions of easily gained green cards which will morph over time into permanent residency papers, followed by easy fast track citizenship to get them into the voting booth.

It turns out that approximately half the Republicans in the US Senate and virtually ALL the Democrat senators are belly crawling amnesty panderers.

We have been recruiting the best and brightest legal immigrants but what the politicians want is the lowest, uneducated, disease carrying peons that Mexico is more than willing to ship to us, their welfare class.

This year, our choice (Republican or Democrat) is a LOSE-LOSE proposition, There is no Lesser of Two Equal Evils.

The choice is between a pair of "Boll Weevils". [This is a little play on words. There is a band called "The Presidents of the United States" that did a song "Boll Weevil" ]

When the choice is so equally bad that we have to compare down the laundry lists, what can we do?

[a]Hold you nose, close your eyes, and vote for a bad candidate,
[b]Toss the McCain- Obama lose-lose coin and hope it lands on its edge,
[c]write-in a candidate or
[d]check out the available third parties.

Items a and b are unacceptable, so check out your options c and d.

This year, Bob Barr, ex-congressman from Georgia, changed from the Republican Party and is running as the Libertarian candidate for president.

I will not tell you what he stands for. You go take a look for yourself and decide whether you want to choose a real American patriot or between the lesser of two weevils.

On this Memorial Day...

My political statement and pictorial essay:

   

 

Some proud of America, some not so proud...

...and that we have politicians in D.C. who are willing to flush this away!

All three current stooge candidates for president are willing to pander to criminals. All 3 have a 100% pro-amnesty voting record.

Let us also remember and be vigilant...

  

 

He wants your citizen rights... yours will go away in favor of his!

Senate Committee Passes Amnesty as part of Iraq Appropriations Bill

Cross posted from "Bloggin on down the Rogue"

There seems to be a complete disconnect between Senators in DC and the working citizens of the USA. This is nothing new though because the three remaining presidential candidates, the Three Stooges (Moebama, HilLarry, and CurleyCain), are all supreme panderers to the illegal alien component of all the immigrants that they want to flood the country with. The dearest wish of all these politicians is to kick all current workers out of their jobs and replace them with no-wage/low wage workers/slaves. Sounds a bit facetious but it is true nonetheless. They will deny it with words but will vote for it in committee and on the senate floor.

Message from Roy Beck, NumbersUSA.com...

THE INCREDIBLE INGREDIENTS OF THE SENATE'S NOXIOUS AMNESTY STEW

Rosemary Jenks (our Vice President, Government Relations) just called me after finishing reading the Iraq supplemental spending bill as it came out of committee. It would:

Grant a three-year work visa followed by a permanent greencard to all illegal aliens who have been working as shepherds, goat herders and dairy herders.

Grant a five-year work visa to the estimated 1.3 million illegal aliens working in other agricultural jobs -- plus all of their families. There is no instruction on what happens after the five years.

Grant a tripling of the maximum number of H-2B visas for lower skill, non-agricultural seasonal workers.

Grant industries an extra 218,000 additional permanent green cards for skilled foreign workers.

Friends, perhaps you are thinking what I'm thinking: Don't these Senators know that we are in an economic recession, or close to it? Don't they know that unemployment rates have been going up and that industries across the country are shedding both skilled and unskilled jobs?

If ever you doubted that U.S. Senators live lives disconnected from ordinary Americans, you could see it Thursday as 17 of them fell all over themselves to drastically increase the number of foreign workers allowed to hold U.S. jobs!

RIDICULOUS CLAIMS ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF FOOD WITHOUT AN AMNESTY

Senators Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.), Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) led the way to protect our economy from having to figure out ways to hire some of the 14 million-plus American workers who are trying to find a job but can't.

Especially interesting is their claim that we will fail to harvest crops and feed the world this year without an amnesty for illegal aliens. They made the same claim in each of the last four years. Each time that we beat back the amnesty, the harvests still happened! How many times does Feinstein have to cry wolf (or rotting crops) before people stop paying attention?

Of course, the outlaw businesses that scream for illegal aliens do have more to fear this year because various enforcement policies (federal, state and local) are beginning to drive more and more illegal aliens home.

What we have to constantly remind everybody, though, is that each of these outlaw growers at any time can come clean, go straight and become a legal, patriotic member of the business community by importing any needed foreign ag workers through the H-2A temporary worker program. There is no limit on how many they can import as long as they pay them decently and ensure that they go home.

The North Carolina Growers Association has used the H-2A visa program for years and opposes all efforts at amnesty for illegal alien ag workers. If the program works fine for North Carolina farmers, why do farmers in other part of the country insist that only illegal aliens will fit the bill?

THE VERY LOW CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING FOR AN AG AMNESTY

Rosemary says you don't have to have spent much time in the fields to qualify for Feinstein and Craig's amnesty.

You only have to meet ONE of the following three criteria to get the amnesty:

Earned $7,000 working in agriculture during the 2004-2007 period.

Or worked 863 hours in agriculture during the 2004-2007 period.

Or worked at least a little bit in agriculture on 150 different days during the 2004-2007 period.

That amounts to an average of $1,750 per year ...

... or 216 hours per year (the equivalent of 4 hours per week) ...

... or parts of 37 days per year.

DO THEY THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE STUPID AND THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY ACCEPT THAT ILLEGAL ALIENS WORKING THAT LITTLE IN AGRICULTURE ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF AGRI-BUSINESS IN AMERICA!!!!!!

The answer is that they really hope we are that stupid or just incredibly unfocused. All the right-wing business lobbyists, leftist organizations, religious groups and news media who tried to force the amnesty last year are cheering this thing on.

We beat them last year because the American people FOCUSED for a few weeks and told the U.S. Senators who is their boss.

Will you please do everything you can to enlist a small army in your community to fight this?

Please keep coming back to our home page several times a day to read the latest news on the Senate amnesty battle.

Thanks, Roy Beck NumbersUSA.com

===

note:

(May 16) At yesterday's markup of the Iraq supplemental appropriations bill, the Senate Appropriations Committee committed an outrageous act of disrespect for our men and women in uniform and to the citizens of this country by adopting an amendment by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that gives amnesty to illegal-alien agricultural workers. The copy of the amendment obtained by NumbersUSA indicates a maximum of 1.35 million illegal aliens, plus their families, could obtain "emergency agricultural worker status" for a five-year period. However, the amendment also provides for an adjustment of status, which paves the way for permanent legalization.

Hundreds rally in Detroit in support of immigrant rights

by David Runk - AP Writer

Thursday May 01, 2008

DETROIT ? Carrying a sign with "They can't deport us all" handwritten on one side, 15-year-old Eduardo Casillas said he took Thursday off school to join hundreds rallying in his neighborhood in support of strengthened immigrant rights.

The sophomore at Western High School was born in the U.S., but has family from Mexico and said comprehensive immigration reform needs to be an important issue in this year's presidential race.

"Most people just came here for better jobs, better lives, to help their families," Casillas said.

The rally and march through the streets of southwest Detroit was part of a nationwide series of May Day protests organized by activists hoping to re-ignite the immigration debate and set an agenda for the next president. But turnout has fallen since the first nationwide rallies were held in 2006.

"The fight to defend our people is not just having a rally and going home and doing nothing," Baldemar Velasquez, the 61-year-old president of the Toledo, Ohio-based Farm Labor Organizing Committee, told the crowd at a Detroit park. "It's going home and fighting in the front to stop the raids, to stop the local police from working with the immigration authorities."

The neighborhood where the rally took place has a large Mexican American and Hispanic population. About half of residents claim a Hispanic heritage, according to the Southwest Detroit Business Association.

The throng of people was four city blocks in length as it made its way through streets that were closed to traffic. Detroit police said Thursday they didn't plan to release an official crowd estimate.

Janet Warren, 60, of Berkley, said she was at the rally for a second year and carried a red, white and blue sign that read "United We Stand" on one side and "Legalize hard work" on the other. She said a lack of progress on immigration reform over the past year made it necessary to attend.

"This is not a way for people to live, in fear," she said. "These people are here. We are a nation of immigrants. We are one people."

Those taking part in the march carried signs that featured messages in both English and Spanish. Among them: "Stop raids and deportations that separate families" and "Legalization for all immigrants now."

Spectators, including families with young children waving U.S. and Mexican flags, lined the route of the march, and some joined in as the marchers passed. Some wore Mexican flags draped over their shoulders.

"It is going to help my family and friends," said marcher Hugo Orozzo, a 17-year-old Western High senior.

Easter Question: Which Church Is The Top Treason Lobbyist?

Easter Question: Which Church Is The Top Treason Lobbyist?

By Joe Guzzardi

No matter which church you may attend on Easter Sunday, you stand a high probability of hearing a plea for "justice for immigrants"that?s a given. And you?ll also be called upon from the pulpit to, against all logic, embrace more immigration.

[ed: My parish has a Vietnamese priest. He never once said a word that could even be misinterpreted towards immigration. He was a LEGAL immigrant before he entered the seminary here in the USA.]

Accordingly, earlier this week I set out to determine which major religious denomination, pound for pound, has the worst pro-immigration record?members of the Treason Lobby, as we call it here at VDARE.COM. I limited my search to Roman Catholic as well as the Lutheran and Methodist Churches.

My secondary task was to find an official who represents one of those religions but who is also an immigration realist.

The Roman Catholic Church

For pro-alien lobbying, the Catholic church (in which I was raised) is by far the most the most visible and notorious of the three. And well it should be, with a flock of 68 million members. That total represents nearly 25 percent of the world?s Catholic population.

From the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, Catholic immigration pandering has been non-stop for years. Even the relatively recent pedophilia scandals have barely slowed down Catholic immigration enthusiasm.

Over the last five years, Catholic Cardinals?most prominently Roger Cardinal Mahony, the Archbishop of Los Angeles?have urged support for amnesty and have argued passionately against immigration enforcement legislation.

Going one-step further to prove that no statement or action endorsing immigration is too outrageous, Mahony advocates violating federal law when and if enforcement measures are ever passed.

VDARE.COM writers have criticized Mahony with increasing disgust as his advocacy for illegal immigrants has intensified and his involvement in the pedophilia cover-ups have become more obvious.

But Mahony is far from the only Catholic Cardinal voice for aliens.

On the opposite coast, New York?s Cardinal Edward M Egan was out front and center (speaking Spanish, no less) at the Immigrant Workers? Freedom Ride, an even orchestrated five years ago and organized by dozens of open borders subversives who predicted?100 percent incorrectly?that it would pressure Congress into passing an amnesty.

Other urgent issues like the New York diocese?s financial crisis have not distracted Egan, 75, from his illegal alien fanaticism.[ At 75, A Battle Tested but Unwavering Cardinal, By Michael Powell, New York Times, April 23, 2007]

The Methodists

Numbering about 15 million, about a quarter of the Catholic flock, they’re fewer but equally determined.

In 2006, VDARE.COM contributor W. James Antle, III exposed the Methodists and their "Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors" policy, a transparent, feel-good slogan that can be condensed to "Open Borders."

Including their "Global Ministries ", "Justice for Our Neighbors " and "Hope for Newcomers " programs, the Methodists? commitment to mass immigration is impressive to many?but not to us.

The Lutherans

They don?t have as much muscle (only 8 million members) as either the Catholics or the Methodists, but they?re tireless fighters, especially on behalf of ?refugees?. Our Thomas Allen has written extensively about the refugee racket here.

The Lutherans always have a new wrinkle. The latest is its New Sanctuary Movement described as "a national immigrants' rights initiative by conscientious congregations responding to unjust deportations?" and a force that "?addresses the legal liabilities of providing sanctuary to undocumented immigrants."

"Troubling" state and local laws aimed at immigration enforcement concern the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service. To assist in law breaking, the LIRS has prepared a backgrounder, acknowledging and thanking "the National Immigration Forum, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the National Council of La Raza, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the National Immigration Law Center for sharing their resources."

I got a close look at the LIRS?s influence when I researched my column on the Somali Bantu invasion of tiny Cayce, South Carolina.

The local Lutheran coordinator for the Somalis, Rev. Richard Robinson, called the Bantus? arrival "a blessing," even though few Cayce non-Lutherans agreed with him.

How much of a "blessing" LIRS-sponsored immigration may be depends on who you ask.

In 2004, James Fulford in his column linked the Lutherans, claiming to be "glorifying God?s name" and that "the love of God is in our hearts," to slavery and rape .[James Fulford writes: The actual acts of slavery and rape were, of course, committed by Albanian Gypsies?Lutherans aren't into that sort of thing .]

Comparing their relatively small numbers versus their influence on immigration policy in general and refugees in particular, I therefore announce my "pound for pound" top Treason Lobbyist...

THE LUTHERANS!

Battling individuals and organizations that allegedly follow the Bible?s word while doing "God?s work" is challenging. They purport to be on the high road while we the "nativists ," according to them, reject the Lord?s message.

But the Catholics, Methodists and Lutherans have distorted the truth to serve their own specific agenda?mainly money and more people in the pews.

The religious arguments center on how people of faith should treat the "sojourner," the catchall word they incorrectly use to represent today?s immigrants.

To learn more about their imprecise use of the Bible and its language?"the sojourner"?to beat back immigration reform patriots, I contacted Ed Childress, an ordained United Methodist elder and director of the Homeless Programs of Fauquier County, Virginia. I had worked with Childress when he was Deputy Director of NumbersUSA.

Childress (e-mail him) told me:

"I would emphasize again and again that ?sojourner? was a specific word for temporary wanderer, not meant to include immigrants. And the context of Biblical times, when ?sojourner? was used, was very different than today?s context. It?s appropriate that the citizens of a nation exercise oversight and stewardship of their national resources?and that includes their border."

Several years ago, Childress wrote an article for the Social Contract that included a five-point program on how to faithfully follow the Bible?s "true prescriptions" as they may relate to immigration. [The Sojourner Argument?Churches and Immigration, By Ed Childress, Social Contract, Spring 2001]

They are:

• Foreigners in this country should be accorded the respect and decency we owe to all people.

• People who are genuine refugees and cannot be cared for in proximity to their homes might be temporarily relocated to other countries. The U.S. would accept its fair share until they can safely return. Their temporary stay makes it possible for other refugees to "sojourn" here when necessary.

• Our ethic of caring requires we do what is necessary to help legal immigrants and legal residents to assimilate and function in U.S. society.

• Our ethic of caring requires that we not accept such a large number of annual immigrants that 1) Undermines the ability of workers to earn a decent living, 2) Harms the sustainability of the environment, and 3) Drains the best and brightest from their own nations where they can do the most good.

• We move away from an "America the Best" attitude and respect the future aspirations and identity of other nations.

The willingness?even eagerness?of the major religions to twist the Bible?s meaning shows that they, and not we, are the true immigration extremists.

Blog4Borders 030308 - Reconquista and 100% preventable crimes

Cross posted from "Bloggin on down the Rogue"

source permalink: Blog4Borders 030308

This week's vlog from Jake and MJ concerns Reconquista and is about our government allowing the invasion of our territory without a shot being fired from our side. It also lists some criminal activity by illegals that was 100% preventable if the government was doing its job protecting CITIZENS.

This is a topic that must be kept in mind as candidates from both the Democrats (Clinton and Obama) and Republicans (McCain) are for open borders and unrestricted immigration. These candidates of both parties have voted for amnesty legislation. These same candidates have voted to give away social security benefits to illegal aliens. This is something to keep in mind this coming November when you vote for one or the other (or do a write-in for a real conservative patriot like Alan Keyes or Duncan Hunter). Did you know that Alan Keyes was running this year? No? The MSM kingmakers have kept that fact VERY quiet while lionizing Barack Hussein Obama. In case you are not familiar, Alan is the lone black conservative Republican on the ticket this year. Statistically, Alan got 0.0% coverage from the socialist MSM.

The MSM is part of the amnesty cabal (along with Big Business, Big Religion and Big Union) so none of ths should be a big surprize to anyone.
