HAMILTON, OH -- An illegal immigrant in Butler County was arrested on Wednesday after she walked into the Sheriff's Office looking to apply for a job. Police say Genesis Mahelet Garcia-Garcia, 25, wanted to obtain a background check for the purpose of gaining employment. He went to the public assistance window and filled out the paperwork using a fraudulent name and date of birth. She then passed a fraudulent Illinois Identification Card and Social Security Card to the clerk. The clerk immediately recognized the cards as fraudulent. Garcia was questioned about the cards and admitted to purchasing them for $180 two years ago, then essentially assuming the identity of the individual. ...

SHENANDOAH, Pennsylvania — Luis Ramirez came to the U.S. from Mexico six years ago to look for work, landing in this town in Pennsylvania's coal region. Here, he found steady employment, fathered two children and, his fiancee said, occasionally endured harassment by white residents. Now he is headed back to Mexico in a coffin. The 25-year-old illegal immigrant was beaten over the weekend after an argument with a group of youths, including at least some players on the town's high school football team, police said. Despite witness reports that the attackers yelled ethnic slurs, authorities say the beating wasn't racially motivated. Hate crime or not, the killing has ...

It has been one of the hardest-hit regions in a surge of violence sweeping Mexico despite the deployment of 25,000 troops across the country. Eight people were killed Sunday when gunmen opened fire on four cars in the Sinaloa city of Guamuchil. Days earlier, ...

80 'Fighting' Birds Found At Blood-Splattered Backyard Ring BITHLO, Fla. -- About 80 birds were confiscated when sheriff's deputies found an apparent cockfighting operation set up in a Central Florida back yard.

Mexican Ambassador Cannot Account for Murdered Americans
Monday, July 14, 2008
By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer
(CNSNews.com) - Arturo Sarukhan, the Mexican ambassador to the U.S., says the Mexican government does not centrally oversee cases of Americans murdered in Mexico.
Sarukhan was on Capitol Hill Thursday to discuss legislation that will give his country millions of dollars to fight drug trafficking and violence.
“There is no centralized tracking in lieu of them being citizens of another nation,” Sarukhan said when asked by Cybercast News Service if Mexican authorities had any information about arrests or convictions in the cases of 128 U.S. citizens who the ...

They placed white carnations on a symbolic tomb and held 10 minutes' silence for the more than 500 people who have been killed this year in the state. In the ...

DES MOINES, Iowa - Immigration reform advocates and religious leaders hope hundreds of people will descend on a small Iowa town this month for a rally in support of workers arrested in a large raid at a meatpacking plant. Organizers are using the raid at the Agriprocessors Inc. kosher meatpacking plant in Postville on May 12 as an example of what's wrong with the nation's immigration laws. Federal officials have called it the largest single immigration raid in the nation's history. The rally in Postville, population 2,200, is scheduled for July 27 and was organized by Jewish and Catholic groups from Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota. -Snip

The corner of 800 West and Fremont Avenue (1100 South) was the scene of horrific violence Sunday. On Monday, it was the scene of hugs and prayers as a neighborhood still in shock tried to do what it could to begin healing. A 7-year-old girl was killed during a drive-by shooting Sunday while she played on the corner in front of her house. Investigators said Sunday they did not believe the girl was an intended target. Monday, however, police said that part was still being investigated. Maria Del Carmen Menchaca, who went to Riley Elementary School, was shot about 6:30 p.m. Frank Benavidez, 20, and three 16-year-old juveniles — a male and two females — were arrested for ...

Barack Obama at National Council of La Raza convention (ICE as terrorists)

Barack Obama spoke at the National Council of La Raza convention earlier today. See below for more on the NCLR. BHO's prepared remarks are here. BHO said many of the things he's said before; apparently his scriptwriters engaged in a lot of copy-and-paste. And, of course, he said many things that once again show he's not qualified to be president: "The system isn't working when 12 million people live in hiding, and hundreds of thousands cross our borders illegally each year; when companies hire undocumented immigrants instead of legal citizens to avoid paying overtime or to avoid a union; when communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids – when nursing ...

"People were screaming; they were saying, 'We want Melvin!'" said one witness too afraid to give his name. But ...
McCain & La Raza

John McCain today is poised to make the biggest mistake of his 2008 presidential run. The presumptive Republican nominee will address the annual convention of the National Council of La Raza in San Diego. La Raza is billed by too many as simply "the nation's largest Hispanic rights group." But this is perhaps the most radical apologist group for illegal immigration and the "rights" of illegal aliens -- and worse. Columnist Michelle Malkin has been a consistent chronicler of La Raza's proclivities. It sponsors taxpayer-financed "militant ethnic nationalist charter schools." It "has perfected the art of the politically correct shakedown at taxpayer ...

CRIME VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS There is an enormous number of Americans who have been harmed by the criminals who pass through the nation's open borders. For that reason, this section can only provide a symbolic tribute to the many unnamed victims who have been killed, raped, robbed, crippled and otherwise personally violated. It is particularly shocking that even in post-911 America, the government still refuses to protect the people in the most basic ways from the world's terrorists and criminals who enter at will to do as they please. The borders remain a sieve while the human carnage from crime perpetrated from illegal aliens continues to mount. In another stunner of INS ...
Is San Francisco At The Tipping Point?

San Francisco has recently gotten overdue censure for being the nation's biggest psych ward masquerading as a city, showing what happens when left-wing border anarchists are allowed to run a major metropolis. The event which dismayed even the mainstream media: an expensive city program that protected illegal alien Honduran crack dealers claiming to be juveniles from federal authorities. Around the same time, a horrific triple murder caused a Supervisor to assess the city's gang violence as "out of control." The common thread of such wild lawlessness is immigration permissiveness and how San Francisco has taken it to new excess. The news that the city had, as a matter of ...

Multiculturalism proves a deadly mix of racism, social incongruity, irreconcilable ethnic groups and the fabricated presumption that everybody loves everybody else. One glance into any cafeteria in the United States for a look at self-segregation illustrates the failure of ‘multiculturalism’. A single glance at the racial violence accelerating in our inner cities demonstrates our expanding quandary. In the most liberal city in America, Boulder, Colorado—rich, SUV-driving parents, sporting bumper stickers that read, “Celebrate Diversity”, whisk their kids to all-white schools and away from growing minority schools drowning in third world migrant children.

DOUGLAS, Ariz (Reuters) - Walls get tagged with graffiti. Cars get shot up in drive-by shootings. Youngsters flash gang signs and battle with bricks, sticks, bats and pipes in the local park over turf. Once a sleepy smelter town on the Mexico border, Douglas is one of several cities in southern Arizona that are being transformed into urban battlefields as warring street gangs muscle in from southern California, police say. A sun-baked backwater of broad streets and bungalows set in vast, high desert ranchland, Douglas is now a patchwork of territories held by the East Side Torrance and the South Side Harbor City, both Los Angeles-area street gangs, as well as lesser home-grown gangs.

Lisa Macias, a daughter of Mexican immigrants, was born in the United States. The Lafayette resident says she often hears people talk negatively about her and her Spanish-speaking friends as they shop in grocery stores or elsewhere. Until she switches to English. "When I walk in someplace, the first thing they think is, 'Does she speak English or not?'" Macias said. Macias isn't alone in feeling the sting of discrimination. A survey of Spanish-speaking Lafayette-area residents by a Purdue University professor reveals an increasing number of Hispanics being treated unfairly or unkindly in 2007 compared with 2006. Such perceptions arise amid increasingly bitter ...
