Both boys remain at White Memorial Adventist Hospital, James in critical condition and Jeremy in stable condition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the &lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/california/la-me-gang17jul17,1,3817505.story?coll=la-headlines-pe-california"&gt;LA Times&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Police on Sunday identified the alleged shooter as Mauricio Alejandro Jimenez, a native of Mexico and longtime member of the Boyle Heights-based Tiny Boys gang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jimenez, 26, has been arrested at least seven times in the past several years for a variety of weapons and gang-related charges — and was deported to Mexico just four months ago after serving more than a year in state prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Jimenez, who goes by the nickname "Spyder," is the subject of a full-scale manhunt. On Sunday, LAPD officials and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa appealed to local citizens to help track him down.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Here we go again. Jimenez is another illegal alien who should not be in this country, period! After multiple arrests and some prison time he was finally deported only to come right back again, illegally!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 years after 9/11 and criminals can still walk right across the border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, aka Mayor Reconquista, held a press conference. Shockingly a reported actually asked the Mayor if this shooting showed the need for more enforcement at the border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayor Villareconquista replied that it's a federal problem. He said this just months after standing in the streets of LA with thousands of illegal aliens and their supporters &lt;a href="http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_3696326"&gt;proclaiming the following&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Today we say to America: We've come here to work: We clean your toilets.

Roy Barnes had sought the action in a state court, arguing Thursday before Judge Melvin K. Westmoreland that requiring voters to show government-issued photo ID violated the state Constitution.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The argument is that some groups, such as african-americans, are less likely to have ID and thus it's not fair to not let them vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never mind that the ID is free and in Georgia they have a mobile service that will actually come to you to give you ID!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nope, that's still not good enough for some.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds bizarre but it's true.

But the average number of out-of-country applications remained high even after the MVA last month stopped taking appointments and began processing twice as many applications through a walk-in process, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don't really have an answer" for the increase, Mr. Young said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virginia does not issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens, and the state's Department of Motor Vehicles does not track the number of out-of-country applications it processes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Local immigrants say illegal aliens are contributing to Maryland's surge in license applications by flocking to the state when their visas expire or by using the Maryland addresses of relatives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I heard that it's easier [to get licenses] here because in other states you need documents, but here it's not required," said 16-year-old Marcela, a Salvadoran immigrant who lives in Silver Spring and did not want to give her last name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antonio Lopez, a Guatemalan immigrant living in Hyattsville, said it is common for illegals to come to Maryland to apply for a license because a green card or Social Security card isn't required.&lt;/blockquote&gt;So Maryland passes out driver's licenses to anyone who bothers to show up, the surrounding states have toughened up requirements since 9/11, and the screwheads at the Maryland DMV can't figure out what is going on?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One-Bill Gil Cedillo is still trying to get driver's license for illegal aliens here in California.

But he has been in this country illegally for far longer than that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Riverside and Ventura County court records show multiple driving infractions dating back over 3 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why didn't law enforcement pick him up since he is in the country illegally? Because he has a valid California Driver's License!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toledo obtained an ID card in 1996 and a year later a valid California Driver's License. With the driver's license he appears to be here legally and law enforcement had no reason to think otherwise. When the courts ran DMV checks he came back clean because he has a valid drivers license.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we end up with someone who should not be in this country to begin with raping a 9-year-old girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to think there are those like Senator Gil Cedillo and LA Mayor Antonio Villareconquista that want to pass out driver's license's to anyone who can sneak across the border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great, just great.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22986100-115258274863726007?l=insideriverside.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115258274863726007'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115258274863726007'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://insideriverside.blogspot.com/2006/07/9-year-old-lake-elsinore-girl-raped-by.html' title='9-year-old Lake Elsinore girl raped by illegal alien'/><author><name>tonylr</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07739429017305706574'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22986100.post-115252949077721912</id><published>2006-07-08T23:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-11T05:16:49.670-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Biased Reporting about the Minutemen rally in Hollywood</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.pe.com/ap_news/California2/CA_Immigration_Protest_244513CA.shtml"&gt;The Press-Enterprise Headline:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;LA officer hurt, several arrested during anti-immigration rally&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=local&amp;id=4349432"&gt;ABC 7 Headline:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Officer Hurt, Several Arrested During Anti-Immigration Rally&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://cbs2.com/californiawire/CA--ImmigrationProtes_k_n_0ca--/resources_news_html"&gt;CBS 2 / KCAL 9 Headline:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;LA officer hurt, several arrested during anti-immigration rally&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.officer.com/article/article.jsp?id=31463&amp;amp;siteSection=1"&gt;Officer.com Headline:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Violent Immigration Rally Injures L.A.

Sure makes it sound like the Minutemen did it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact of the matter is, THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Minutemen, lead by Jim Gilchrist, and their supporters including homeless activist Ted Hayes, pulled a permit to march in Hollywood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They waved American flags and sung the national anthem. Well that certainly is sinister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike the pro illegal immigration rallies months ago this one was held on a weekend. Business traffic was not affected and kids were not yanked out of school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the Minutemen and their supporters walked down American streets with American flags thugs from the open-borders pro-slavery movement gathered to challenge them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police were on hand and in typical fashion the thugs wanted to cause trouble so some of them were introduced to a face full of American asphalt while a few others were arrested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An officer did hurt her ankle but all of the turmoil was a result of the anti-Minutemen anarchists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later CBS 2 / KCAL 9 &lt;a href="http://cbs2.com/topstories/local_story_189230248.html"&gt;ran another headline&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Officer Injured At Hollywood Minuteman Rally&lt;/blockquote&gt;Accurate but still mis-leading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the open-borders wackos fell back to their usual rhetoric screaming "racism" to anyone who would listen.

The Republicans put these shows together but Democratic leaders were also in attendence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question is, why are these so called public immigration hearings even taking place? Members of congress know full well that the vast majority of Americans are against amnesty and are for tougher enforcement at the border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The witnesses invited to speak, border patrol agents, Sheriff's deputies and other experts from Texas to California, were often interrupted by the bickering political hacks, Republicans and Democrats alike, seeking to score points with the crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f269/insideriverside/immigration20060705b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f269/insideriverside/immigration20060705b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Darryl Griffen, chief Border Patrol agent for the San Diego sector, kept getting interrupted by the political hacks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5-star idiot Sheriff Lee Baca chimed in but frankly made little sense so I will not repeat it here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span class="newstext"&gt;Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Carlsbad, called for stepped up law enforcement away from the border where undocumented workers congregate to look for jobs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   &lt;span class="newstext"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“The United States has not been serious enough about our national sovereignty, defending our neighborhoods,”  “The problem is coming across the border and not being regulated under a mandate by our federal Constitution.” - &lt;span class="newstext"&gt;Rep.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;-- He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty &amp; perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;source:&lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/independenceday/declaration.html"&gt; http://www.whitehouse.gov/independenceday/declaration.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:4th-of-July-1819-Philadelphia-John-Lewis-Krimmel.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/4th-of-July-1819-Philadelphia-John-Lewis-Krimmel.JPG/800px-4th-of-July-1819-Philadelphia-John-Lewis-Krimmel.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22986100-115253138255174295?l=insideriverside.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115253138255174295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115253138255174295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://insideriverside.blogspot.com/2006/07/happy-independence-day.html' title='Happy Independence Day'/><author><name>tonylr</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07739429017305706574'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22986100.post-115249167003332178</id><published>2006-07-01T17:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-10T04:19:37.926-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mexico letting Mexicans who live outside of the country vote for the first time</title><content type='html'>For the first time in history Mexico will let Mexican's living outside the country vote in the upcoming elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, when 10% of your population has fled your county, that's millions of potential voters, most of whom are right here in the USA. So Mexico has decided to let them vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An illegal alien woman from Mexico was interviewed on cable news. Even though she has been here for 7 years they still needed a Spanish translator to speak with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was very excited to be able to vote for "her president" and "her country". Keep in mind she is speaking about elections in Mexico, not in the USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She has been here illegally for 7 years, does not speak a word of English and considers Mexico her country, not America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course she has not assimilated, she has no need to, nor do millions just like her. She did not come here to be an American as millions of legal immigrants did for decades in the past, she came here to get what she can from the system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her true loyalties lie not with our country, but with her's, Mexico.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22986100-115249167003332178?l=insideriverside.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115249167003332178'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115249167003332178'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://insideriverside.blogspot.com/2006/07/mexico-letting-mexicans-who-live.html' title='Mexico letting Mexicans who live outside of the country vote for the first time'/><author><name>tonylr</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07739429017305706574'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22986100.post-115249043921708319</id><published>2006-06-30T16:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-10T15:28:12.856-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mississippi Mayor Claims He Can't Find Americans To Rebuild His Town</title><content type='html'>It's been 10 months since Hurricane Katrina wiped out 35% of the homes and public and commercial buildings in the small &lt;a href="http://www.cityofdiberville.org/html/modules.php?op=modload&amp;name=Sections&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;file=index&amp;req=viewarticle&amp;amp;artid=12&amp;page=1"&gt;city of D'Iberville&lt;/a&gt;, Mississippi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cityofdiberville.org/html/modules/Magnish/Gallery_folder/City%20Council/2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px;" src="http://www.cityofdiberville.org/html/modules/Magnish/Gallery_folder/City%20Council/2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Mayor Rusty Quave is frustrated that his town is not yet rebuilt, claiming no American contractors will do the job.

The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nation’s most modern highway straight into the heart of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new “SENTRI” system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This master plan will allow cargo ships from the far east to unload in Mexico instead of California, bypassing the over paid Longshoremen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Mexican trucks, with dirt wage earning Mexican drivers, will make a beeline for the U.S. without even having to stop for an inspection when they cross the border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first customs stop won't be until they reach Kansas City. That's assuming they don't take a bribe, make a detour and park an al-queda nuke filled tractor-trailer in your town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the bright side there will be a lot less truck traffic on the 91, 60 and 10 freeways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.nascocorridor.com/"&gt;NASCO&lt;/a&gt; folks appear to be doing some damage control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first image below was captured before the story broke.

Their reasoning is quite insightful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the &lt;a href="http://www.qgazette.com/news/2006/0621/features/028.html"&gt;Queens Gazette&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Guillermo Linares, the mayor's commissioner of immigrant affairs is the panel chairman. The panel's goal is to look into both the job centers and subsidizing them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linares, whose panel just completed its first hearing on the question, stated, "As the demand for day laborers continues in New York City, we must address the issues that arise, including day laborers' need for safe and healthy work conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To address these issues, other jurisdictions have created daylabor job centers with public and private support. For the past 10 years, cities throughout our nation have found these centers to be viable long-term solutions."&lt;/blockquote&gt;Ah, so that's why cities support day labor centers, because there is a 'demand' for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well following that logic cities should create centers for crack dealers, there is a 'demand' for that illegal activity too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22986100-115132312182877623?l=insideriverside.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115132312182877623'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115132312182877623'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://insideriverside.blogspot.com/2006/06/what-validates-day-labor-centers.html' title='What validates Day Labor Centers?'/><author><name>tonylr</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07739429017305706574'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22986100.post-115132207463194568</id><published>2006-06-20T04:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-26T04:44:03.636-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Clear Channel censors Minutemen billboards</title><content type='html'>The Minutemen have started a &lt;a href="http://www.minutemanproject.com/default.asp?contentID=76"&gt;nation wide billboard campain&lt;/a&gt; targeting 'illegal immigration-pandering politicians'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of the planned billboards target Senators McCain and Kennedy.

Well Bush probably used the phrase "honest hard working people".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one who is against amnesty has advocated mass deportations because it's practically impossible and really not necessary. What is possible is using methods to encourage those in this country to leave voluntarily. That's called self deportation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The State of Georgia recently passed one of the toughest anti-illegal immigration laws in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;a href="http://www.townhall.com/opinion/column/JeffEmanuel/2006/03/26/191097.html"&gt;Townhall&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Senate Bill 529, known as the "Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act" is a much-needed response to the ever-increasing number of illegal immigrants in Georgia who benefit from the state's taxpayer-supported programs while avoiding paying into the system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody seems to be able to make an accurate estimate; the number is often listed as "between 250,000 and 800,000"—a margin of error which is so large that it provides an excellent illustration of the problem itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A population can only support so many non-productive beneficiaries of goods and services, and the swelling underclass of illegal immigrants is straining Georgia’s state infrastructure to a point at which further inaction would be extremely detrimental to the state’s economy and society.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Well Georgia's problems certainly sound familiar. What does the "Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act" actually do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- It prohibits adult illegal immigrants from receiving many taxpayer-funded benefits&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- It financially penalizes private employers who hire illegals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- It requires employers with public contracts to verify that their workers are in the country legally&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- It requires law enforcement to check the immigration status of those arrestd&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that certainly sounds reasonable. They even define those prevented from getting public benefits as 'adults' so kids are not affected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It does not become law until next year but it is already having an effect on Georgia's illegal alien population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;a href="http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/stories/0604natimhousing.html"&gt;AJC.com&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Home buying among Latinos in metro Atlanta has slowed significantly in recent months amid jitters over immigration reform, say real estate agents and lenders who cater to the Spanish-speaking community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..."There's no question that there's a panic in the Hispanic community," said Raymond Amengual, a lender with AHM Mortgage, which specializes in a Hispanic market that has its share of illegal immigrants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Sen. Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock), the original sponsor of the legislation designed to combat illegal immigration in Georgia, said he had little sympathy for lenders and real estate agents who build their business on what he calls questionable transactions. The new law "has begun to reach its intended purpose if these people are not choosing Georgia as their permanent residence," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Illegal immigrants buy homes with Social Security numbers that don't belong to them or with legal Individual Tax Identification Numbers — commonly called Tax IDs. These numbers, issued by the Internal Revenue Service, allow people in the country illegally to pay their taxes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Metro Atlanta real estate agents who cater to Tax ID buyers are seeing similar drops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graciela Vizcarra, a ReMax agent who shows houses in Cobb County, said she's gone from four closings a month to one or two. Felipe Bernal, an agent whose area includes Cobb, Gwinnett and Rockdale counties, said his usual eight or nine closings a month has dropped to two or three. And Victor Saldaña, a real estate broker in Norcross, has had three closings in the past two months, one-third of his usual total.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"People are holding back to see what's going to happen," said Saldaña, a Mexico native whose clients are primarily Spanish-speaking.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Grab yourself two tissues, one for the poor illegal aliens who are suddenly feeling un-welcome in Georgia and one for the poor real estate agents won't be lining their pockets with money from people who are not supposed to be here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently ICE conducted operation &lt;a href="http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/06/14/D8I84S980.html"&gt;'Return to Sender'&lt;/a&gt; and arrested over 2,000 illegal aliens. About 400 of those were in the San Diego area and it has brought fear to the illegal alien community there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the &lt;a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060618/D8IAQ3DO0.html"&gt;Associated Press&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Fewer parents are walking their children to school in this border city's Linda Vista neighborhood. The crowd of day laborers huddled in a parking lot outside McDonald's has dropped by half.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Juana Osorio, an illegal immigrant from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, said her neighbors have largely stayed indoors since agents visited her apartment complex June 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"People rarely leave their houses now to go shopping," Osorio, 37, said as she clutched a bottle of laundry detergent in a barren courtyard. "They walk in fear."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her husband, Juan Rivera, 29, has stopped taking their two children to the park on weekends. "We want to go out but we can't," said Rivera, a construction worker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Day laborer Fredy Calleja said his uncle was arrested about two weeks ago while watering plants outside his home. An agent asked him about someone suspected of selling drugs in the area. When the uncle said he didn't know the drug dealer, the agent asked if he was in the country illegally and arrested him when he said he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Calleja said his uncle was deported but then sneaked across the border in Tijuana, Mexico. He was back in San Diego a little more than a week later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the blitz began, Serafina Morales has been looking for unmarked white or black vehicles whenever she leaves the house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We're all scared to go to school," she said. "Many of us are letting our children walk alone." &lt;/blockquote&gt;Ah, they are afraid to go outside. Don't feel bad for them, that's how you are supposed to feel when you break the law and come to this country illegaly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the results of one, just one visit by immigration officials. Imagine if that happened again, and again, and again. There would come a point where many of the illegal aliens would give up and self deport themselves.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22986100-115076036282098329?l=insideriverside.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115076036282098329'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115076036282098329'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://insideriverside.blogspot.com/2006/06/its-called-self-deportation-stupid.html' title='It&apos;s called Self Deportation Stupid'/><author><name>tonylr</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07739429017305706574'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22986100.post-115048573638346980</id><published>2006-06-16T12:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-16T12:25:51.386-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Doing the right thing for the troops</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:5jLV1vnoJgfvCM:www.artistdirect.com/Images/Sources/UBLPORTRAITS/overrides/cher.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 100px;" src="http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:5jLV1vnoJgfvCM:www.artistdirect.com/Images/Sources/UBLPORTRAITS/overrides/cher.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Cher made a trip to Capitol Hill to lobby for &lt;a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/entertainment/14827773.htm"&gt;better helmets for the troops.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cher has donated more than $130,000 to the group &lt;a href="http://www.operation-helmet.org/"&gt;Operation Helmet&lt;/a&gt;, which pays about $100 to modify the inside of soldiers' helmets to make them better able to absorb shock from a bomb blast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice to see a celeb doing something positive for the troops, you don't see that much in the mainstream media these days.

One of his last known locations was, surprise, right here in So Cal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Manuel Leija-Sanchez has been called the #2 man in the organization and the Chicago Kingpin. One neighborhood in Chicago brings in over $2.5 million per year selling fake documents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year &lt;a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chicago/chi-0605160247may16,1,6391424.story?ctrack=1&amp;amp;cset=true"&gt;Leija-Sanchez was busted&lt;/a&gt; for his part in the fake document ring but plea bargained his charges down to possessing a fake library card and is serving just 1 year in prison.

Cracking down on document fraud? Nope. They want to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who have documents showing they have been in the country a certain number of years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do you supposed the illegal aliens will get these documents?

Hundreds of poor Americans living off the land in the middle of a concrete jungle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's only one problem, the land does not belong to them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in the 80's the City of LA took the land by Eminent Domain to put a trash incinerator on it. The community did not like that idea so the city never developed the land and it just sat there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the '92 riots the city, in a feel good moment, decided to let the community use the land. They did not 'give' the community the property, they just allowed them to use it. So people started pitching tents and growing crops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the original owners who the city took the land from, David Horowitz, found out the city never used the land for the reason they took it from him for. He wanted it back, sued and won the right to purchase it back from the city. He actually paid the city more for it than the city paid when they took it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it's 2003 and Horowitz has his land back but there are hundreds of people living on it. Notices went out that they would have to leave. They asked if they could stay there for 60 days to harvest their crops and gather their belongings. Horowitz, who owns the land, did not have to but he agreed to let them stay for the 60 days they asked for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what happened during those 60 days? Did the squatters harvest their crops, gather their belongings and leave like they said they would? Nope, instead they got lawyers and sued Horowitz so they could stay on his land for free!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few years lawyers for the squatters kept filing motions in court. The purpose was to keep the land tied up in the court system so the owner could not use his own property. The case went through the local court system to the appellate court and even to the California Supreme Court. The courts ruled in favor of the owner of the land every time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind that for all the years the attorneys kept the case in the court system the squatters lived on the land without giving the owner a penny while he had to pay property taxes, insurance and a morgage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally eviction notices went out and the nuttyness really began in recent months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://network.news.com.au/image/0,10114,5168694,00.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://network.news.com.au/image/0,10114,5168694,00.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Darryl Hannah, Martin Sheen, Danny Glover, Joan Baez and Willie Nelson and a bunch of socialist all rushed to the cause. Hannah and others even parked their butts in a walnut tree in protest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These screwheads had no problem placing demands the owner of the land, but not once did they offer up their own property to help their so called noble cause. Why not? I bet their dirt is just as good for growing crops as the dirt in South Central.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sheriff's Deparment finally moved in and removed all who remained on the property, mostly protesters who had never set foot on the land until recently, costing the tax payers tens-of-thousands of dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where were the poor squatting farmers during the eviction? Apparently they left the farm months ago, afraid of being deported. Yep it seems that the poor Americans living off the land weren't even Americans at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willie Nelson called in to the Larry King show last night and said he lent his support because this is what Americans do, they fight for what they believe it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really Willie? I doubt most Americans believe in trespassing and I bet you would not hesitate to call 911 if you found someone trespassing on your property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, by the way, doesn't it seem odd that the 'poor' farmers have their own &lt;a href="http://www.southcentralfarmers.com/"&gt;web site&lt;/a&gt; and 800 number?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too bad the owner, Horowitz, can't give everyone of those screwheads a good swift kick in the crotch for all they put him through.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22986100-115041960088634885?l=insideriverside.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115041960088634885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22986100/posts/default/115041960088634885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://insideriverside.blogspot.com/2006/06/crazy-socialists-evicted-from-south.html' title='Crazy socialists evicted from South Central Farm'/><author><name>tonylr</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07739429017305706574'/></author></entry></feed>
