Caught! Immigration bill shackles border agents

Bars them from considering race or ethnicity 'to any degree'

A truckload of young Hispanic men is spotted by a U.S. Border Patrol agent rumbling down a dusty road a mile north of the Mexican border toward El Paso, Texas.   

How should the agent respond?

Under the immigration-reform bill currently under consideration by Congress, Border Patrol agents or any other law-enforcement officer who stops such a vehicle to demand identification might be found in violation of the law.

The legislation bars all federal law-enforcement officers, including border agents, from using race or ethnicity “to any degree” while making routine or spontaneous law-enforcement decisions, a WND review of the legislation has found.

The bill further calls for the Homeland Security Department to collect data on immigration enforcement activities to determine the existence of racial profiling.

The data would be utilized to issue future guidelines to officers regarding the use of race or ethnicity during routine enforcement.

The bill states that “in making routine or spontaneous law enforcement decisions, such as ordinary traffic stops, Federal law enforcement officers may not use race or ethnicity to any degree, except that officers may rely on race and ethnicity if a specific suspect description exists.”

The bill defines federal law-enforcement officers as any “officer, agent, or employee of the United States authorized by law or by a Government agency to engage in or supervise the prevention, detection, investigation, or prosecution of any violation of Federal law.”

The definition includes U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents.

Obama renews pledge on immigration reform at La Raza conference

President Barack Obama called on Hispanic activists Monday to build a movement outside Washington to push for overhauling immigration, saying he can't do it by himself and Republicans aren't playing along.

THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH FOLKS...

Subject: Free Lunch - An Area That Looms Large over California's Educational Crisis


Free Lunch....

900 teachers just got laid off from the Los Angeles Unified School District ... They are $650,000 over their annual budget.

The following English teacher helps to explain one area that looms large over California 's educational crisis.  This English teacher has phrased it the best I've seen yet.  This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent


From a California school teacher - - -

"As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:


I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels.


Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park , etc.. where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.

Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten.  (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls(some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.  (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)


I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America ..  (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less than 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas" (whores ) and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears.


Free medical, free education, free food, day care, etc, etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled not only to be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?


To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.

Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.

Americans, We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return?


It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and anAmerican culture that has become so weak and worried about"political correctness " that we don't have the will to do anything about it.


If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know including your Congressmen and Senators.

CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?

Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.
Consumers don't want expensive produce.
Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.

But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor.."


Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps...
He qualifies for free (no deductible), no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.
He requires bilingual teachers and books.
He qualifies for relief from high energy bills...


If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare.. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense .

He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.


Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills AND his.

The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people!

THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY. 'AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!'

Senate Leadership Hires La Raza Democrat To Redistrict

For National Release

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS!
In a move that will send shock waves across North Carolina, Senator Bob Rucho (R-Mecklenburg) has hired Matty Lazo-Chadderton who is a member of the illegal alien amnesty supporting groups La Raza and El Pueblo to help redraw Senate districts which will be used to elect lawmakers for the next ten years.

Matty Lazo-Chadderton also served as one of Democratic leader Marc Basnight's top tier employees, before Republicans displaced the Democrats in the NC Senate for the first time in 130 years in 2011. She was Basnight's Director of Hispanic/Latino Affairs and is currently a Democratic Party precinct chair!

ALIPAC's President spoke out against Lazo-Chadderton's hiring for redistricting during a hearing on redistricting yesterday.

"It is against the public's interest to allow anyone involved in special interests and issue advocacy to have the power to influence redistricting, especially when that person supports radical positions in favor of Amnesty for illegal immigrants," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "The public will be dismayed that they voted for historic change in NC, but find the new boss is the same as the old boss in parts of the Senate."

Several Republican lawmakers were shocked to learn that a top tier employee of Marc Basnight and supporter of El Pueblo and La Raza would be hired by the GOP Leadership in the Senate.

Illegal immigration foes, who had hoped 2011 would be the year that state legislation designed to protect American workers, students, taxpayers, and voters would finally be debated and voted on, will be disappointed that Senator Rucho's actions are backed by Senate President Phil Berger.

William Gheen then spoke with Senator Berger leaving the Senate Chamber and Berger indicated that he supported Senator Rucho's decision.

Senate President Phil Berger recently assigned immigration enforcement bill HB 33 to the Rules Committee, which is where the Democrats always sent bills to die without discussion or votes. The NC Senate Rules Committee is chaired by Senator Tom Apodaca who is a member of the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL) which opposes state level immigration enforcement.

A lot of conservative lawmakers at the NC General Assembly have growing concerns about what is happening with the top leadership right now. The hiring of Staff members who engage in highly unprofessional ego trip behavior and who have affiliations with illegal alien amnesty supporting organizations bodes ill for those hoping for improvements in governance under Republicans instead of Democrats.

New Senate district lines may be drawn in a way which harms conservative lawmakers who have supported illegal immigration control bills, while favoring the election of lawmakers more supportive of the La Raza amnesty agenda.

"Most Republican lawmakers do not want amnesty supporting Democratic precinct officers drawing their districts and I hope they will share that concern with Berger and Rucho," said William Gheen. "It breaks my heart to have to share this news with the public. But it appears today that agents supportive of the invasion of America have sway over Senate President Phil Berger, redistricting, and immigration bills, more than the citizens of North Carolina. We must rectify this situation."

Members of the media and public can direct their inquiries and concerns about these matters to NC Senate President Phil Berger (919-733-5708), Rules Chairman Tom Apodaca (919-733-5745), and Redistricting Chairman Bob Rucho (919-733-5655).

William Gheen is preparing an open letter to Senator Berger today which will be sent to each North Carolina lawmaker and placed upon the website www.ALIPAC.us

Notes from the July 16th [2010] Governor Beverly Perdue’s Advisory Council on Hispanic / Latino Affairs

Concerned Citizens and Immigration Reformers,


Below is a brief of the first meeting of NC Governor Bev Perdue's Advisory Council on Hispanic/Latino Affairs, which appears to be setup in actuality to provide benefits to illegal immigrants and pander for votes. I think you will be disturbed with some of the details:

BACKGROUND INFO: The Hispanic/Latino population is estimated to be approximately 700,000 in North Carolina with one half or 350,000 of this group being illegal immigrants. The estimated total population of North Carolina is approximately 9.5 million. Therefore legal resident Hispanic/Latinos in North Carolina comprise less than 4% of the total population. So why do we need a special Governor’s Advisory Council for Hispanics/Latinos? We don’t have a Governor’s Advisory Council for unemployed citizens, which comprise 10% of the workforce. Is North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue going to setup other race-based Advisory Councils?



Notes from the July 16th [2010] Governor Beverly Perdue’s Advisory Council on Hispanic / Latino Affairs

Ms. Gabriela Zabala is Director of the recently formed Governor’s Advisory Council on Hispanic/Latino Affairs. She mostly spoke during their first meeting in Raleigh on July 16th, which I attended along with Randy Dye, James, Maureen, and Frank.


This Advisory Council is to give advice to Governor Beverly Perdue on issues concerning the Hispanic/Latino community along with governmental policy recommendations.

Gabriela Zabala, Director of the Hispanic/Latino Advisory Council pointed out she was a senior member on Governor Beverly Perdue’s staff and appeared to brag about her access to Governor Perdue.

There are fifteen members on Governor Beverly Perdue’s Hispanic/Latino Advisory Council, one of whom is Wayne Cooper. Although Mr. Cooper is a citizen, he is an honorary consul of Mexico for North Carolina. It appears to be his only qualification for being on the Council. This member gives Mexico a “seat at the table” of an Advisory Council to provide policy recommendations to the Governor of North Carolina.

In addition to the fifteen members of the Governor’s Hispanic/Latino Advisory Council, there are ex officio members who mostly consist of the leadership of North Carolina’s major governmental departments such as Labor, Employment Security Commission, Department of Health and Human Services, Education, etc. So these state departmental staff personnel will be attending and presenting information to the Hispanic/Latino Advisory Council when they have meetings. Obviously this will give the Council “special access” to leadership within our North Carolina governmental departments. Also this Advisory Council will have the opportunity to lobby for privileges and benefits for illegal immigrants, but I expect only for Hispanic/Latino illegal immigrants, since this is an ethnic and race-based Advisory Council.

It was also stated that support staff for the Hispanic/Latino Advisory Council will be provided by the Governor’s Office.

It was mentioned that all Council members should abide by and obey all laws. Of course this is interesting, given several of the Advisory Council members have openly advocated for rights for illegal immigrants. So I can only suppose that obeying the law is open for interpretation.

Ms. Yvonne Pagan, another Advisory Council member, was quoted in the media as saying “in North Carolina we aren’t facing the same (immigration) problems as Arizona”. FACT: illegal immigration is costing the State of North Carolina over $1 billion per year [net cost] to incarcerate, educate, and medicate illegal immigrants and their dependents. I would suggest spending $1 billion per year of citizens’ money due to illegal immigration is a problem.

It was suggested that Credit Unions [specifics weren’t given] would be urged to provide funds to help Hispanics/Latinos open small businesses in categories such as landscaping, construction, and cleaning services.

With a smile on her face, Ms. Gabriela Zabala said she expected more money was coming to North Carolina from the Obama Administration for government services. She also said she would press for more Title 6 [Civil Rights Act] funds to provide interpreters.

ONE DOES NOT NEED CLAIRVOYANT POWERS TO DISCERN THE REAL PURPOSE OF GOVERNOR BEVERLY PERDUE’S ADVISORY COUNCIL ON HISPANIC/LATINO AFFAIRS. CITIZENS AND LEGAL RESIDENTS WOULD NOT NEED A SPECIAL ADVISORY COUNCIL TO ACQUIRE GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES, AND IF THEY DID IT SHOULD NOT BE BASED ON ETHNICITY AND RACE. THIS ADVISORY COUNCIL IS AN EFFORT TO CURRY FAVOR WITH AN ETHNIC GROUP WITH THE INTENTION TO PROVIDE SPECIAL BENEFITS AND PRIVILEGES (TO MORE THAN LIKELY INCLUDE BENEFITS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS) IN ORDER TO GAIN POLITICAL ADVANTAGE AND FUTURE VOTES.
