WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — A judge known for creative sentencing has ordered three Spanish-speaking men to learn English or go to jail. The men, who faced prison for criminal conspiracy to commit robbery, can remain on parole if they learn to read and write English, earn their GEDs and get full-time jobs, Luzerne County Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. said. The men, Luis Reyes, Ricardo Dominguez and Rafael Guzman-Mateo, plus a fourth defendant, Kelvin Reyes-Rosario, all needed translators when they pleaded guilty Tuesday. "Do you think we are going to supply you with a translator all of your life?" the judge asked them. The four, ranging in age from 17 to 22, were in a group ...

Illegal immigration, Constitution, national security For those following the drama of New Hampshire residents using "Jefferson's Manual" to force the Congress to take up the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney, here's the dirty little secret: it's really easy. All you need to do is print out a version of the below resolution, walk it to an amenable state representative (or assemblyman/woman), and have them enter it into State House business. Now you have an active impeachment resolution in your state. Is it effective? From a legal standpoint, no one knows, since no presidential impeachment has ever been commenced through Jefferson's Manual, Section 603 of ...

Scoping Out Pepe Why We Should Get It Right, But Won't March 26, 2008 Gringos here in Mexico talk endlessly about how they love and admire the Mexican people, how friendly the natives are, how wonderful the culture is and, by strong implication, how wonderful the gringos are for appreciating Mexico. Actually they don’t. They live in gated communities in the hills, can’t speak three words of Spanish, and have surprisingly little contact with the country. They have invented a Mexico that doesn’t exist, and have fallen in love with it. Thus many of their idea about Mexicans are wrong, compounded equally of ideology and wishful thing. The same happens in America. This ...

Bush Overruled in Death Penalty Dispute Supreme Court Says Bush Overstepped Authority by Intervening in Mexican National's Case By ARIANE de VOGUE March 25, 2008— In a victory for the state of Texas, the Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that President George W. Bush cannot force the state to reconsider a death penalty case, even if the conviction violated an international court's ruling. Jose Medellin, a Mexican national, was convicted and sentenced to death in 1994 for raping and killing two teenage girls in Houston. However, the International Court of Justice at The Hague, Netherlands ruled that his conviction was in violation of international treaties, which ordered that ...

U.S. jaguars threatened by Mexico border fence By Tim GaynorPosted 8:03 pm EDT SANTA RITA MOUNTAINS, Arizona, Mar. 24, 2008 (Reuters) — Jaguar biologist Emil McCain stoops over a remote-sensing camera attached to a tree in these rugged mountains a few miles to the north of the Arizona-Mexico border. The researcher is checking for images of a handful of extremely rare jaguars that prowl up from Mexico over mountain trails in some of the wildest country in the southwest, although they are now under threat. Scrolling through images of bobcats and deer snapped by the camera, he explains how the habitat for one of the United States' most elusive predators is being pressured by ...
Gov. Richardson’s Endorsement of Obama a Media Scam?

On Friday, the mainstream news media breathlessly announced that Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico endorsed Barack Obama in his run for the Democrat nomination for President of the United States. Putting aside how Richardson stabbed his benefactor in the back — he’d be just another political hack if it wasn’t for former President Bill Clinton — and putting aside the fact that the media keep harping on the fact that Richardson is the only Latino governor in the nation, the news media are hyping what is really a self-serving endorsement by a man who’s been exposed as a sneak and a liar. For example, remember New Mexico’s “state of emergency” ...

Where Clinton, Obama, and McCain Stand on Immigration Posted March 17, 2008 ClintonObamaMcCain Border Fence "Let’s deploy more technology and personnel, instead of the physical barrier." Clinton voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which authorized a fence on the Mexican border, but has softened her support by criticizing the fence’s execution. "The key is to consult with local communities [when] creating any kind of barrier." Obama voted for the fence but has since joined Clinton in de-emphasizing his support, which is unpopular in border towns and among Hispanic voters. "Borders are borders, and there should be agreements between the landowners ...
Government-made crises

A fascinating aspect of government intervention is how it induces people (1) to get embroiled in the crisis environment that the intervention produces, and (2) to feel a vested interest in coming up with a solution to the crisis. Consider price controls, an intervention that governments traditionally turn to in response to their own debasement of the currency. As prices rise in response to monetary debasement, people begin screaming at businesses for raising their prices, not realizing that rising prices are in reality just a reflection of the falling value of the dollar due to government’s inflation of the money supply. Responding to the screams, government officials make it illegal ...

The Mexicans -- A Documentary Film By John Pilger - 1980

Documentary on a country dominated by a near neighbour the USA, but rich in oil resources, Mexico. However, in a country dominated with the thought that the revolution is only half over is Mexico a potential Iran on American doorsteps? VIDEO HERE; www.informationclearinghouse.info/article19509.htm This is pretty long, in 6 parts, but if you want to understand what is going on with México, this is a pretty good documentary. This is not a problem that is going to go away. Although this is dated in 1980, the same things hold true today, only more so because of NAFTA, which has forced tens of thousands of the poorest of the poor in México off of their ancestral lands.

If your slow simmer turns to a rolling boil every time you hear of another illegal who’s raped an 8 year old, run over a cop or driven his car into a nursing home while under the influence, chances are you won’t cool down after the November presidential election. The so-called ‘front-runners’ from the “Big Box” parties are just hankering for more amnesty which means more illegals and more of the invasion that is destroying our country. Take McCain (please). He’s trying to do damage control on his pro-amnesty track record by reworking the rhetoric while playing both sides against the middle. Conservatives who’ve been paying attention will remember ...
Why Illegal Immigration is a Threat to the United States And How Local Communities are Fighting Back
Post Date: 2008-03-12 09:19:49 by angle

How Local Communities are Fighting Back In June, 2007 a solid eighty percent of the American people let Congress know they wanted the government to put the brakes on illegal immigration; they turned thumbs down on the President’s guest worker amnesty plan; and they wanted tax-paid services to illegals stopped. Most Americans understand that new laws are not needed to stop illegal immigration. What is necessary is repeal of some laws granting taxpayer-financed services to illegals along with enforcement of existing laws. These two acts would be enough to stop the migration. In simple fact, they are called “illegal” because they are breaking the law. In truth, the battle ...
GOP moves to force immigration vote

5 minutes ago WASHINGTON - House Republicans are trying to force action on a Democratic-written immigration enforcement measure, the latest GOP attempt to elevate the volatile issue into an election-year wedge. Republican leaders hope that by pushing the bill — endorsed by 48 centrist Democrats and 94 Republicans — they can drive Democrats into a politically painful choice: Backing a tough immigration measure that could alienate their base, including Hispanic voters, or being painted as soft on border security in conservative-leaning districts. The plan is fraught with political risks for both parties. A full-blown immigration debate could call attention to Republicans' ...
Officials Split on Viability of Border-Fence Project

Published: February 29, 2008 A top Homeland Security Department official said Thursday that a pilot project to create a virtual fence along parts of the Mexican border had been a success, but he said the technology was never intended to be used — and would not be used — across the entire length of the border. “It is working, and it met the requirements,” Jayson P. Ahern, deputy commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, said of the pilot project during a briefing with reporters in Washington. Mr. Ahern’s assessment was in line with an announcement last Friday by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff but contradicted testimony on Wednesday by an ...

The very concept of a fence designed to keep people out who are being paid to get in..... well, it certainly is beyond me how anyone believes that such will somehow stop the flood. Sun Mar 9, 7:22 PM ET NACO, Arizona (Reuters) - When U.S. authorities raised a tall curtain of steel through this tiny Arizona border town to prevent people crossing illegally from Mexico, the smugglers on the south side were ready. Using blowtorches and welding gear they burned a rectangular gate in the barrier large enough to drive a truck through, then they sealed it with a padlock to use it at their leisure, border police say. As the U.S. government pushes ahead with an unprecedented security buildup ...

American Renaissance Conference Why, Just Maybe, We Should Think More March 3, 2008 This week, disordered thoughts. I’m not sure what other kind might be applicable in today’s world. I just got back from Washington, where I addressed the American Renaissance conference. I hate airplanes. They have the charm of Greyhound buses without the comfort. AmRen, as we say, had invited me to talk about Mexico as it appears from the inside. The organization was alleged to be a vicious racist organization. The more easily frightened of my associates in the crime of journalism tried to warn me off. They told me that my mere presence at the conference would destroy my reputation. (Which ...

In Praise of HomogeneityThe Japanese know how to run a country. by Jared Taylor I have just returned from several weeks in Japan, and am again struck by the forceful example that country offers of the advantages of homogeneity. As the years go by, Japan’s steady record of successes stands in ever-greater contrast to America’s failures, and to its inability to think seriously about the kind of country it is becoming. Japan is not without problems, of course, and some are disconcerting by our standards. But the Japanese have a much better chance than we do of surviving into the next century as a coherent, prosperous nation with a culture and civilization it can unmistakably call ...
Skipping School Gets 2 Sisters Deported

WINONA - Skipping school is usually met with fines and the threat of jail time; but, for two sisters, the punishment was much worse - they were deported. Smith County Justice of the Peace Mitch Shamburger said he presided over truancy court last month when Brisa and Lluva Amante, both 17, snickered in his courtroom. The John Tyler High School students were before him for skipping school and Shamburger said he fined them each for the action and told them to go to school every day and not to come back to his courtroom. "I thought they would take it seriously and I wouldn't see them again," he said Friday. However, the twins and a younger sister were brought before him ...

DETROIT (AP) — The broad-brimmed western hats, colorful festival dance dresses and Mayan-style pottery that line the shelves at Xochi's Mexican Imports are common sights at stores in the Southwest. But it's southwest Detroit on a cold, dreary winter day, not sunny El Paso, San Diego, Tucson or other cities just north of the Mexican border. From its Mexican Town restaurant district to the new shops of the La Plaza Mercado retail development, southwest Detroit is doing something it hasn't done in years — grow and prosper. "We come starving for a better life," 32-year-old dance instructor Valeria Montes said. "We want to strive and we've found in ...

'Virtual Fence' Along Border To Be Delayed U.S. Retooling High-Tech Barrier After 28-Mile Pilot Project Fails By Spencer S. Hsu Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, February 28, 2008; A01 The Bush administration has scaled back plans to quickly build a "virtual fence" along the U.S.-Mexico border, delaying completion of the first phase of the project by at least three years and shifting away from a network of tower-mounted sensors and surveillance gear, federal officials said yesterday. Technical problems discovered in a 28-mile pilot project south of Tucson prompted the change in plans, Department of Homeland Security officials and congressional auditors told a ...
