[The Mysterious Q!]

I guess you have asked that question to some of the locals in Dago. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]Did you find what you were looking for. Donde esta la where the ho's at!

[Puzzled]

Dear President Bush:

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me.  I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S.  into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements.  I know you can help with this.

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.  I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over?  Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2.  English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All government forms need to be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6.  I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.

7.  Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8.  I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9.  I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.

10.  In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.

11.  I plan to fly the U.S.  flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th.  I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12.  I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.

13.  Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S.  from Mexico.  I am sure that Pres.  Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P.

Thank you so much for your kind help.

Sincerely,
 (Your name here)

Arrests Target Use of Illegal Workers
Washington Post 05/10/06

Federal authorities announced the arrests yesterday of four construction supervisors and 76 illegal immigrants at a Kentucky home-building company, continuing a promised government crackdown on employers that rely on illegal labor.

The arrests at Fischer Homes, a leading builder in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, followed the April 19 arrests of seven current and former managers and more than 1,100 workers for Ifco Systems North America Inc., a subsidiary of a Dutch manufacturer of plastic crates and wooden pallets.

The effort comes as Congress debates plans to overhaul the nation's immigration laws.

We will continue to bring criminal actions against employers who are consistently harboring illegal aliens, said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

The four Fischer Homes managers were charged in a criminal complaint with aiding and abetting or harboring illegal immigrants for commercial or private financial gain. They face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Calls to company headquarters last night were not returned.

In recent weeks, Immigration and Customs Enforcement also has charged the owner of an Indiana stucco company in connection with an illegal employment scheme, won guilty pleas and the forfeiture of more than $1 million by operators of three Baltimore restaurants for conspiring to harbor illegal immigrants, and indicted two Ohio temporary-employment agencies and nine people on charges of hiring and harboring illegal immigrants.

The arrests have attracted employers' attention and sparked rumors of sweeps of illegal workers nationwide. But advocates on both sides of the debate said recent U.S. practice makes them skeptical that the arrests are more than a public relations effort.

From 1999 to 2004, the number of criminal employer cases referred for prosecution by the federal government fell from 182 to four, and the amount of fines collected dropped from $3.7 million to $212,000, according to a congressional report.

These are cosmetic efforts to persuade Congress to pass an amnesty, said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, an advocate of stronger workplace enforcement.

He was referring pejoratively to White House-backed Senate legislation that would create a guest-worker program for foreign nationals, offer a path to citizenship for illegal residents and toughen border enforcement.

The company mentioned in the article (IFCO) has an operation here in Charlotte NC.  I spoke with one of the workers yesterday that was arrested there.  He was seeking a job here at my company.

He told me he was released after being detained overnight.  
He told the ICE officials he was here illegally (he said "undocumented")
He had a hearing in Atlanta last week (he said he actually went)
He was released without charges.
I believe he was telling me the truth, his SS and green card looked good (obviously fake, though considering his tale).

Obviously we did not hire him.  I suspect he will go to Washington DC to work in Congress or at the White House.

This is UNBELIEVABLE.

Here's one for all of you in Texas.
                                                On my last trip across our great county I noticed billboards advertising gas stations and motels which proclaimed. - - - " American Owned " So being the curious sort, I stopped at one of these which had a large American Flag painted on the roof and asked the lady at the counter what the deal was. She explained

                   " These people come over here from India and the US Govenrment gives them interest free loans to buy a business with a 10 year sunset. At 9 years and 11 months, they transfer the loan to a relative and never pay the interest. I as an natural born American can not get such a sweat heart deal, not will the SBA loan me any money at all to upgrade or expand my existing business. "

Which explains why every dam gas station and motel in this country seems to be owned by Indian Nationals ( and I don't mean Native American Indians)

Sounds like that's reason enough to camp more!  I'll certainly consider that in my travels more.  I'd recognized the increase in Indian motel ownership, but had not realized they were given the money for free.   Hell, why not just give them the keys to the bank???  Why is this country so hell bent on giving an immigrant the shirt off it's back, yet a citizen has to fight for the smallest penny??

Funny you should say that.There is a Indian owned gas station in the next town over from me where they have a pop up trailer in the back where the 2 smelly guys live trading shifts back and forth.Also if you want it they sell knock off Rolex's Polo shirts and Oakleys.Plus if you ask they have a secret porn section for sale in the back. I'm not sure about that because I'm a God fairing man

[arcticdude]

Here in good ole' OK, we could easily get them shut down for the "back o' the store".  Hell we're still drinking low point beer!!

"back o' the store" ? sheeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiit dude,  if they had that law in SoCal, 1/2 the illegal mezcans would be homeless.

[EZRIDN]

So much for Homeland "Security".  Our government is still searching little old ladies at the airport but they are doing next to nothing to stem the flow of thousands of illegals a day from entering our country.  In many cases it looks more like they are being encouraged to do so.  Even though our President took an oath of office to protect our borders he is refusing to do so.  Enough is enough.  If you are as fed up as I am with representatives that represent themselves and not the people that put them in office, then start fighting back. The President and my Senators are all receiving mail from me.

Everyone does realize, I hope, that our government's failure to do anything meaningful about the illegals is due to an unpublicized but obvious policy to provide foreign aid to GW's good buddy President Fox, without actually calling it foreign aid.  After all, Mr. Fox doesn't have to worry about taking care of his poor citizens as long as the American taxpayers will take care the problem for him.  This isn't the first or only time that politicians and the bureaucrats at the State Department have sold us down the river in the name of foreign relations.  Remember how we gave China "favored nation" trading status not so long ago?

I guess we will just bomb another country to Get  all of our minds off of this broken immigration/ border thing.

[SPIDERMAN]

Well to keep kicking this dog, Let's tally up how many laws they break in addition to being here illegally Here's my three contributions

1 & 2 -No driver's licenses or insurance
3- The living in the back of the story thing arcticdude mentioned

[WaSEEG]

Look at the recently released stats on stolen cars.  Our little burg (Yakima,WA population about 60,000 )made it into the top 10 in the nation .  As I recall all or most of the other top 10 were on the west coast.  What struck me was several of the communities listed, for example Stockton,Cal, Modesto Cal, Visalia, Cal are communities like mine with a high percentage of illegals who work in agriculture.  Is there a connection?  Who knows as auto theft is not a high priority here as the local cops have their hands full with meth labs and drive by shootings and most auto thefts are not solved.
