Illegal aliens are defiant under Obama Last month in Philadelphia, a group of young illegal aliens held a rally not only to demonstrate the fact that they are unapologetic about their illegal status but to show their lack of respect for and fear of federal immigration officials as well. One protester shouted in Spanish: “And we are here today to tell ICE and everyone else that we are no longer scared to go out. We are no longer scared to tell people we are undocumented.” Watch the video below to see how defiant illegal aliens have become under the Obama administration:

Mexico was stunned by a shocking new massacre Monday after four women and a teenage girl who worked in an Acapulco beauty parlor were found stripped and slaughtered. The 14-year-old and two of the women were found on the second floor of the shop Sunday with their hands bound - and their throats cuts. Two other victims were found elsewhere in the resort city - one dumped on a street behind a church and the other in an abandoned car. None of the slain women were identified; police said the teen had worked at the salon for just five days. A favorite stop for American tourists, Acapulco has been convulsed in recent months by violent turf wars between rival drug gangs that have left ...

Los Zetas Outmaneuver Mexican Military; Burn Border Town to the Ground

Yesterday, the criminal organization known as Los Zetas, managed to outmaneuver the Mexican military and penetrated Gulf Drug Cartel territory. In what appeared to be a carefully planned operation, Los Zetas lured the military outside the border town of Miguel Aleman, Mexico to fight them in rural areas and back roads while the military was pre-occupied trying to catch the criminals outside the border town, several Zeta convoys moved in from the west. An anonymous phone call was received by the military, mentioning that a battle between the Gulf Drug Cartel and Los Zetas was about to take place in Miguel Aleman. When the military turned its convoys around to head back to town, they were ...

The average criminal alien in California has been arrested seven times Illegal aliens have California's prisons bursting at the seams. On Thursday, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report which shows that California’s illegal alien prison population has risen 17 percent since 2003, with the actual number of incarcerated aliens at 102,795 in 2009. With a largely unprotected border, the number is likely even higher today. The GAO also reports that each of California’s illegal alien inmates have an average of seven different arrests. According to GAO auditors, California spends $34,000 annually to incarcerate each illegal alien. In 2010, California ...
California's criminal alien population rises

The number of criminal aliens incarcerated in California rose to 102,795 in 2009, a 17 percent increase since 2003, federal auditors reported Thursday. This isn't cheap. Nationwide, the Government Accountability Office reports, it costs well over $1.1 billion a year for states to imprison criminal aliens -- those who committed a crime after entering the United States illegally. California, moreover, is more expensive than other states. GAO auditors estimated California spends $34,000 to incarcerate a criminal alien for one year; in Texas, it's only $12,000. The audit, requested by Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, will provide ammunition for states' perennial effort to secure more ...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hispanics now outnumber African-Americans for the first time in most U.S. metropolitan areas, shifting the political and racial dynamics in cities once dominated by whites and blacks. Census figures released Thursday highlight the growing diversity of the nation's 366 metro areas, which were home to a record 83.7 percent share of the U.S. population. The numbers from the 2010 count are already having a big effect on redistricting in many states, where district boundary lines are being redrawn based on population size and racial makeup. Hispanics became the largest minority group in 191 metropolitan areas last year, their population lifted higher as blacks left many ...

U.S. Pays To Upgrade Mexican Trucks In the latest effort to accommodate its cherished trade partner in the south, the U.S. government is paying to upgrade outdated Mexican trucks that hemorrhage illegal amounts of exhaust on their trips north to deliver merchandise. The Mexican trucks enter the U.S. under a 17-year-old international trade pact known as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and they’ve created an air pollution crisis. The air quality in border towns has been especially impacted by the exorbitant levels of exhaust released by the Mexican trucks, which also fail to meet American safety standards.Since the Mexican truckers have no intention of fixing the ...
Court won't lift stay on SB 1070 (Arizona immigration law)

A federal appeals court on Monday refused to lift a stay blocking major parts of Arizona’s immigration law from taking effect and said the federal government is likely to be able to prove the controversial law is unconstitutional. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals turned down an appeal filed by Gov. Jan Brewer. She had asked the appeals court to lift an injunction imposed by a federal judge in Phoenix the day before the law was to take effect on July 29, 2010. The U.S Justice Department sued to block the law, saying it violates the U.S. Constitution because enforcing immigration law is a federal issue. U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton issued an injunction preventing four ...

Surprise, surprise; Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies. Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and analyzed by a nonpartisan Washington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration in the U.S. The results, published this month in a lengthy report, are hardly surprising. Basically, the majority of households across the country benefitting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both ...

On Thursday, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu testified before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security about the dangers the residents of his county face due to our largely unprotected border with Mexico. Babeu told the committee: “This violence is not just coming here. It is here. People in my county do not feel the border is more secure than ever and we are 70 miles north.” Babeu also addressed Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s recent claim that “the border is better now than it ever has been.” He explained: “We need help out in Arizona. In anybody's scorecard, if the majority of people (illegal aliens) are getting through, that is a ...

GOP drafts legislative assault on illegal immigration

Reporting from Washington— Congressional Republicans are drafting legislation that would require the federal government to develop a plan to add more fencing, sensors, agents and even drones to stop every illegal entry into the United States. The legislative effort offers another example of how a more conservative Congress has steered the immigration debate away from the Obama administration's two-pronged push for reforms and improved border security, and toward strict enforcement of immigration laws. In December, a lame-duck House controlled by Democrats passed the Dream Act, a reform that would have created a path to citizenship for some young illegal immigrants in the U.S., ...

Ninety-five-year-old Leeland Davidson discovered recently that he's not a U.S. citizen, despite living nearly 100 years in the country and serving in the U.S. Navy during WWII. Davidson, from Centralia, Washington, told KOMO News that he discovered he wasn't a U.S. citizen when he was turned down for an enhanced driver's license he needed for a trip to Canada to visit relatives. "We always figured because he was born to U.S. parents he's automatically a U.S. citizen," said Davidson's daughter, Rose Schoolcroft. Davidson was born in British Columbia in 1916. He checked up on his citizenship before joining the Navy and was told by an inspector at the U.S. ...

Dear Senator Russell Pearce, I am compelled to write to you about a recent event that occurred to me. I currently work as a substitute teacher in the west valley areas of Phoenix, Glendale, and Peoria. I was called upon to teach history and language arts for 8th grade at a Glendale public school. The number of students I had in each class ranged from 28 to 38 children, which were almost all Hispanic and a couple of Black children. The day started out as usual turning on the television listening and watching the announcements and saying the Pledge of Allegiance. During the Pledge of Allegiance I notice the vast majority of students refusing to stand and say the pledge. I asked the students ...
