Ironically it's true.
Borders divide official languages, politics, economy, but not people.

Since in fact they are criminals who have broken our laws. Can we, as law abiding citizens, affect a Citizens Arrest and have law enforcement pick them up for deportation?

Colorado farmers could be using prison inmates
to fill void left by immigration crackdown
Associated Press
Article Launched: 03/01/2007 09:41:21 AM MST


DENVER - Colorado is considering letting prison inmates work on private farms after farmers complained that an illegal-immigration crackdown has left them short-handed, officials said.
Two vegetable farmers told prison officials and lawmakers that they need five to 20 workers and will pay up to $9.60 an hour _ more than they've paid migrant workers in the past _ but can't find anyone to do the work.

The Pueblo Country farmers, Joe Pisciotta and Phil Prutch, said immigrant workers are afraid to come to Colorado because of its tougher immigrant laws passed last summer. Among other things, the laws require people receiving state and federal benefits to prove they are legal U.S. residents.

''They've just given up and gone to other states that don't have these new laws. They just don't want to deal with it,'' Pisciotta said.

The Corrections Department program would probably start in Pueblo County, operating under the prison industries division, which already trains and employs about 1,200 inmates, department Executive

Director Ari Zavaras said.
''Depending on how well it works, we'll see where it will go,'' Zavaras said this week.

He said the program fits his and Gov. Bill Ritter's new emphasis on reducing recidivism. Under current growth estimates, prison construction will cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars over the next five years.

Colorado's prison industries system already has internal agricultural jobs including growing flowers, raising bees and cultivating wine grapes. Inmates also manufacture items ranging from furniture to plastic bags.

Feds seeking 7 years for another Texas cop
Deputy sheriff convicted for violating civil rights of fleeing illegal alien

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The federal government has recommended a seven-year prison term for Gilmer Hernandez, a Texas deputy sheriff who drew grass-roots support after he was convicted for violating the civil rights of a fleeing illegal alien, WND has learned.

In a case prosecuted by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton in El Paso, who also led the high-profile prosecution of former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, Hernandez was charged after stopping a van full of illegals for running a stop sign April 14, 2005, in Rocksprings, Texas.

The driver attempted to run over Hernandez, prompting the officer to fire his weapon at the rear tires. A bullet fragment hit a Mexican national, Marciela Rodriguez Garcia, in the mouth, cutting her lip and breaking two teeth.

Hernandez's boss, Deputy Don Lettsinger, told WND he considers the sentencing guidelines severe, especially since he believes "Deputy Hernandez should never have been indicted for this incident in the first place."

(Story continues below)


Hernandez's sentencing hearing has been scheduled for March 19 in the court of Robert T. Dawson from the U.S. District Court, Western Arkansas, in Port Smith, Ark. Dawson is a 1998 Clinton appointee.

"I am hopeful that Judge Dawson will deviate from the government's guidelines, which he has the authority to do," Lettsinger said. "I am hoping the judge saw the truth in the courtroom."

Jimmy Parks, Hernandez's attorney, told WND his client is "in shock at hearing this news. He's terrified."

Parks said Hernandez "knows that in a short time, if the judge sends him to prison, he will spend every day of the next several years trying to protect himself from the very people he dedicated his life to protect us from."

"Gilmer worked diligently and assiduously to put criminals away, to take people who were committing dangerous crimes away, to assure that they are placed behind bars to protect us and to rehabilitate them," Parks explained. "And now all of a sudden Gilmer is facing a time where he will be locked up in a cage with these criminals and he knows they are ready and prepared to retaliate and seek their vengeance."

Ramos and Compean now are serving 11- and 12-year prison sentences for their part in the shooting of a Mexican drug smuggler who was given immunity to testify against them.

Parks told WND Hernandez knows his life will be in danger in prison.

"All he can think about is his little baby, Electra, will be home with his wife," Parks said, "and him being in his position where he is going to have to pray to survive every single day."

Ramos, after his supporters expressed similar fears, was beaten by fellow inmates following the airing of an "America's Most Wanted" television program in which his case was featured.

As WND reported, the federal prosecution of Hernandez began only after the Mexican Consulate in Eagle Pass, Texas, wrote a serious of letters demanding the Bush administration prosecute him for injuring a Mexican national.

Lettsinger believes Hernandez did nothing wrong and that the Texas Rangers were not going to recommend prosecution as a result of their investigation.

Hernandez is in federal prison, under the custody of U.S. Marshals in the Del Rio, Texas, Val Verde County detention facility.

Parks said Hernandez's wife is devastated by news of the sentencing guidelines.

"Her husband wanted to be in law enforcement. He took his oath very seriously," Parks said." She never would have believed that Gilmer would be facing sentencing for a felony conviction."

Parks expressed hope Judge Dawson would consider the guidelines as only advisory.

"The guidelines have never taken into account the extreme and extraordinary duress law enforcement officers face on the border after 9/11," Parks said. "The guidelines have never been adjusted to reflect the pressure law enforcement on the border feels when they get directives from the Department of Homeland Security that puts an extraordinary onus upon them."

Border Patrol officers are told they are the first line of defense from terrorist activity that comes across the border from the Middle East or Central America, including the notorious MS-13 gang, Parks argued.

"The MS-13 gang had a directive that they were to kill any police officer who pulled them over," said Parks. "MS-13 had a special holiday called 'Kill a Cop' day in which they were each supposed to make an effort to kill a police officer."

Parks said he will immediately begin preparing a response to the sentencing guidelines.

"Because of this duress and extreme heightened sensitivity to the danger law enforcement on the border faces, these guidelines are not a fair assessment of what would be a proper punishment in a case like this," he insisted.

Parks told WND he is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support the city of Rocksprings and Del Rio County have shown Hernandez.

"This community believes that Gil Hernandez would never have committed the criminal offense with which he was charged," Parks said. "We have been inundated with letters and phone calls on Gilmer's behalf and these are not from people who are making rash decisions based on the apparent facts of the case. These letters and phone calls are from people who have knowledge of Gilmer's life and his character and the love he has shown these people."

My ( i guess now old ) gf has decided to go to the US to "marry" her old boyfriend in order to live in the US. Neither of them are American. He went over after finding a job in a restaurant there who say they will provide him with a visa. Turns out he can apparently have a visa the long and illegal way. I think he's currently working there illegally while his boss gets his "application together". So my old gf wants to follow him. I've tried to talk her out of it. She says that they'll have to risk being there illegally until her "husband" is granted a work visa which I hear could take a long time. Should anything bad happen back in their home country, they risk being busted by immigration because it will be evident that their tourist visas have expired.

I'm very worried about what can happen to her. What is the likelihood of her getting in serious trouble? I don't like it at all. Not to mention the fact that she seems to have married this guy solely to have a chance at life in US.

Question: Illegal Immigrants are paying alot more taxes than you think?

Question Details: If you think that illegal aliens are paying taxes you are naive. Studies have show that it is the opposite. And the reason for this is that they earn a low wage salary, don't have documents and are paid under the table but when their families get sick they go into our hospitals and don't pay a cent. What about false documents, do you think that this is good for us the gringos, that they rob our ID and work with them. What about schools, who pay for this, the government of Mexico or the gringos with our taxes. The only ones that benefit from the illegal aliens are the corporations that hire them, the illegal aliens and Mexico that receive over a billion $$ that is send back to them.If what you say is true do you think that we are that stupid and complain about it. There is more but I think that I have made my point to you and the rest that think like you. Good luck!!

EVERY immigrant mexican in the USA claims to be spanish. I used to believe this until I went to Spain last summer. First it surprised me that everyone in Spain looks "gringo". Then I asked my tour guide about "spanish" and "latino". She told me that people in Mexico are mostly indian and are NOT spanish. She then told me that Spanish people have much more in common with other Europeans (including people from UK, gringos) than mexicans. I then asked her.. but why do both countries speak the same language? She then told me......because you speak spanish doesnt make you "spanish", haitians speak french but that doesnt make them french.

So I guess a mexican claiming to be spanish is like a haitian claiming to be french. Why do mexicans always claim to be "spanish" when they are not?
