Immigration - September 2006

I have no idea how many illegal immigrants who come would want to do so legally and I don't care. The point is that we have no real immigration policy to enforce. Either you give immigrants wishing to come legally a fair and reasonable opportunity to do so (Ellis Island ring a bell?) or you set a limit on how many legal immigrants you'll accept and then enforce restrictions on the rest. The "Land of Freedom and Opportunity" doesn't have the same ring if you add, "but only for those of us who are already here" to the end, but at least it would be a coherent policy. My true challenge for the "close the border" types out there is what would you do if the gov't actually made it reasonably doable for even 1/2 the immigrants who come to do so legally? Would you still be singing the "it's not that they're immigrants (read: not white), it's that they're illegal" tune?

I dont understand this

If you come here illegally that means you VIOLATED AMERICAN LAWS. So if that iss the case why are they not sent to jail and charged like any other law violation?


Americans will be just fine without ILLEGAL people. So dont say " We take the hard jobs that nobody wants"

Just come to America the LEGAL way. dont break our laws and then ask for benefits from my tax dollar.

really, yea feeding your familys isnt bad, yea wanting a piece of the american pie is ok ,and yea wanting a better life is a good thing,but when you came over here in the back of a trunk or in a semi truck trailer or climbed over a fench to get it, didnt it strike you as something illegal?would you really sell your souls just to get what you wanted when you wanted it? would you teach your children that it was right to invade someone else's property?i mean americans dont have a problem with legal immigrants.just the illegal ones that come here and lipp off.let me ask you a question.do you think that america is just going to say well ok you can stay? or will they make you become legal tax paying law abiding citizens?

crimes committed by American citizens, and those committed by ILLEGAL aliens????
Come on!!!! It's not rocket science!!!

AMERICAN =CITIZEN A citizen has the LEGAL right to be in THIS country!!! Even if they DO committ the SAME heinous crimes as illegals, the FACT remains that they are LEGALLY here in this country!!!

ILLEGALS= CRIMINALS (just for BEING in this country)
These rapes, murders, child molestations, drunk driving homicides, etc. are crimes that would NEVER, i repeat, NEVER have happened if these illegals were NOT here!!!

We have MORE than enough criminals here already who ARE citizens,WITHOUT importing more from OTHER countrys!!!

Cheap, undocumented, unregulated labor will destroy the unions.
Democrats rely heavily on campaign contributions from the same unions.

Pro-illegal is supportive of big business, Pro-union is against big business.

How can the democrats continue to maintain both positions?

THe new Pres elect Calderon said there would be no stop to the flow of illegal immigrants coming to the US. Who the Hell does he think he is? Does anyone doubt now that they want to take your lifestyle away from you. If this had been Iran we would be invading last week and Mexico City would be the target of massive bombig strikes But oh yeah, it's not an invasion hell no, what's 12 million or more citizens of another country crossing the borders in not an invasion? They are just coming to take your job your identity and treat you like you dont' belong and call you racist if you utter one word in protest. Oh and dont forget 1out of every 12 has a criminal background according to the Border Patrol.

Colorado DMV sets up check on phony papers
By Scripps McClatchy Western Service
September 6, 2006

Posted 12:30 p.m.
More than 1,700 illegal immigrants have been caught attempting to pass fake documents at Colorado driver's licenses offices in the first month after a tough immigration law went into effect, according to a state official.

"We're seeing evidence of individuals trying to slip through the cracks," said Michael Cooke, executive director of the Colorado Department of Revenue.

Colorado's new anti-illegal immigration laws passed by the legislature this summer set up a strict identification check meant to deny most public services to undocumented adult immigrants.

The Department of Motor Vehicles is on the front line of those checks.

As residents come into DMV offices to get state ID cards or driver's licenses, they're asked to present birth certificates and immigration papers such as passports and green cards to prove they are in the United States legally.

Those documents are then run through the federal SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification of Entitlements) system to verify the applicant's legal immigration status.

In the past month, about 2,100 applicants at DMV were told their documents needed further investigation. Of those, 177 met with investigators and were cleared as legal residents of Colorado. But more than 1,700 cases are pending.

Cooke says DMV will never see those applicants again because they know their documents are phony.

"We're asking them to go to our investigative unit so we can look into the matter, and we're not hearing back from them," Cooke said.

The 1,700-plus names have been sent to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, she said.

So far, DMV offices have also caught about 150 people attempting to use fraudulent birth certificates, and that number is climbing. Most of the certificates were authentic, but the person presenting the document was not the individual named on the certificate, Cooke said.

New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division officials discovered a hole in the state's security system recently when a division contract office in Tijeras was found to have issued 100 or more licenses to people thought to be illegal immigrants.

Since February, vanloads of immigrants found an empathetic 23-year-old clerk who took documents obtained elsewhere - many from Kansas - and issued new licenses to the applicants.

Officials learned of the problem only after an electrician working nearby got suspicious of the heavy traffic into the MVD office.

An audit by Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department detectives and the MVD says the clerk issued drivers licenses to at least 100 undocumented immigrants.

Sheriff's detectives arrested four men, all from Guatemala, who told Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that they needed the licenses to get work in Kansas, according to federal court documents.

They spent between $10 and $700 to buy Social Security cards and birth certificates from unknown people in Liberal, Kan., according to the court documents.

Bernalillo County sheriff's Detective Bill Webb said last week those vendors directed the men to travel to Tijeras and find the clerk.

The Tijeras clerk was put on administrative leave, and could be fired pending the outcome of an investigation by the MVD and the Sheriff's Department, said Tijeras Mayor Gloria Chavez.

She said the clerk had been a good employee, and was particularly valuable because she spoke Spanish.

"We never saw it coming at all," Chavez said.

Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Erin Kinnard Thompson said the investigation is not yet complete.

But already, state officials are talking about making it more difficult for immigrants to get state driver's licenses.

MVD Director Ken Ortiz said last week that he and state Taxation and Revenue Secretary Jan Goodwin discussed reviewing the requirements for the 39 contract offices, including stricter oversight of employees.

The Taxation and Revenue Department had already started auditing licenses issued to about 30,000 immigrants to see whether they had proper documentation.

Immigrants can get a driver's license using a single piece of identification. The Richardson administration is considering adopting new regulations that would require two pieces of identification.

Father accused of beating newborn to death


A Phoenix man is jail accused of beating his 20 day old baby girl.

Police say 21-year-old Sean Pierce shook his baby so hard she suffered massive internal injuries. advertisement




A Police Report shows Angel Pierce had a skull fracture and was sexually assaulted.

Pierce called 911 early Monday morning when Angel wasn't breathing. Paramedics say when they arrived Angel had no brain activity.

The infant was rushed to St. Joe's Hospital but later died.

Phoenix Police arrested Pierce later that day. The baby's Mother Suzan Pierce is not convinced her husband is to blame, "I'm not believing what detectives are saying."

Suzan was reportedly sleeping when Angel stopped breathing. She says Angel had no marks on her body.

Police had said there were lacerations on Angel's body and bruises on her head.

Sgt. Joel Tranter says," There is no motive out there, no reason to allow anyone to injure a young child at all." Sean Pierce has been arrested and charged in this case.

Video: Illegal Alien Accused Of Biting Child

Illegal Immigrant Accused Of Biting Girl

POSTED: 12:30 pm EDT September 6, 2006
UPDATED: 12:39 pm EDT September 6, 2006

Officials said a man suspected of biting a young girl is an illegal immigrant.

Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams said the girl's mother reported seeing strange marks on the child's upper arm, shoulder and thigh.

Authorities believe her boyfriend, Clemente Ornelas Bustos, bit the girl numerous times.

Police said Bustos is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, and this is the second time he snuck into the U.S.

Williams said, "She's just a sweet little girl and it saddens my heart this goes on. Hopefully, we can get (Bustos) out of here."

Bustos remains in the Carroll County Jail on child endangerment charges. Williams said Immigration and Customs Enforcement ordered a 48-hour hold on Bustos and he will be deported.

I am a green card holder who petitioned my son last April, 2001. I am now eligible to appy for US citizenship. When I apply and I get my citizenship certificate, when the priority date of my son comes, I know I can use my status as a green card holder to be able to process my sons paper faster. When I die and my status is already a naturalized US citizen, I've heard that the petition of my son can still continue? Is this true?
