Maria Ross
A Dallas County sheriff’s jail guard was arrested at work Friday morning by federal immigration officers on accusations of being in the country illegally and now faces deportation, county and federal officials said.
Maria Elvia Ross, 34, of Irving was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers sometime after 10 a.m. on civil immigration violations, ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok said.
“Administration’s ‘Silent Raids’ Lead to Firings, Not Deportations
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 10/Jul/2010 12:29
“The Obama administration’s new approach to dealing with companies that hire illegal immigrants results in firings, not deportations, the New York Times reported Friday.
Instead of immigration sweeps at factories and farms which used to lead to illegal workers being shipped out of the country, the administration’s new policy—government conducted audits labeled “silent raids†by employers—usually only result in the workers losing their jobs, the Times said.”
It seems to me this policy will only produce more and more unemployed illegal immigrants wandering around the US, with no income. What do hungry, desperate people do when they have no income? Eventually they either go somewhere where they can find work or they take what they need from someone else.
This policy of getting illegal workers fired but not deporting them is going to have a massive negative impact on our crime rate. Maybe not immediately, but as the population of out-of-work, hungry illegal immigrants grows, the crime will grow. Maybe this is one of those “fundamental changes” we were promised.
When is it time to deport?

by YankeeJim:
When a person is discovered to be in the USA illegally, should not the person be deported immediately? Should not their name go down on a list, like three strikes, that says if you are caught again, your chances of ever getting into the country again diminish?What about prosecuting the companies that hire illegals? They know what credentials are required and if they have a question, they can call Immigration and Customs Enforcement and ask.
Five US soldiers killed in Afghanistan attacks – June worst month for casualties since 2001
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 10/Jul/2010 11:57
Five US soldiers have been killed in separate incidents of violence in Afghanistan, Nato has said.
Three died in east Afghanistan and two were killed in separate roadside bombings in the south.
More than 350 Nato soldiers have been killed this year.
In other violence, gunmen killed 11 Pakistani Shia tribesmen in the east and one person was killed by a motorbike bomb in Kandahar.
Also on Saturday, hundreds of Afghans took to the streets of the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif in protest at increasing civilian deaths.
Canadian Muslim immigrant charged with plotting genocide of Canadian Jews
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 10/Jul/2010 00:23
After police visited Mr Hossain at his suburban home in Mississauga, Ontario in 2007, he wrote: "You can't charge me for possessing a thought."
“A Muslim immigrant who called for “the slaughter of Jews” in online postings has become the first person to be charged with promoting genocide in Canada, police said on Friday.
Salman Hossain, a 25-year-old from Bangladesh who apparently left Canada in May, was charged with five counts of promoting hatred and advocating or promoting genocide over postings on his website and blog, as well as on a third-party website, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said.
He “wilfully promoted hatred and advocated genocide of the Jewish community,” said a statement.
Mr Hossain, who immigrated to Canada as a child, openly called for “violent regime change in Western nations in order to remove the presence of Jews” and “the slaughter of Jews,” according to reports.
He also advocated terrorist attacks in Canada, cheered the killing of Canadian troops in Afghanistan, and urged fellow Muslims to overthrow the “Jewish-run Canadian government”.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/canada/7882761/Muslim-charged-with-plotting-genocide-of-Canadian-Jews.html
He immigrated as a child to a peaceful, tolerant (maybe too tolerant?) country – Canada – and yet, when he grew up to be a young man he actively and openly advocated killing Jews and committing terrorist attacks in Canada. Why? Where did he learn this? Where was his loyalty to Canada, the country that took him and his family in?
New Rules for Campaigning in Mexico
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 9/Jul/2010 20:04
During debates no mudslinging or antagonizing your opponent, however grenades and assault rifles are allowed.
The one with the most bullet holes on their vehicle or themselves will determine the popularity polls.
It will be prohibited to denigrate the character of an opponent or defame their good name, but ambushes with deadly weapons are permissible.
In this democratic system, the winner is not necessarily the one who is the "head" of political influences.

“Shootout Drills” for Mexican Schools
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 9/Jul/2010 19:49
“MEXICO CITY – Schools across Mexico are teaching students to dive to the floor and cover their heads as urban gunfights between drug gangs multiply in the violence-torn country.
At least nine shootouts have erupted in school zones since mid-October, three of them in the past month. On June 15, soldiers and gunmen battled for an hour just 60 feet from a preschool in the central town of Taxco.
Several Mexican states are now requiring “shootout drills” and are incorporating them into summer teacher-training courses, which begin next week. School ends Friday in most of Mexico.”

“Britain’s longest terrorist investigation ended on Thursday when three Muslims were convicted of conspiring to become suicide bombers in a plot to blow up trans-Atlantic airliners.
Ibrahim Savant, Arafat Waheed Khan, and Waheed Zaman made vitriolic suicide videos in which they blamed the West for their actions.
The three men were the “front-line troops” in “a deadly and co-ordinated campaign against the general public”, said Peter Wright QC, prosecuting, during the case.”

UK troops to pull out of Sangin in Helmand province
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 8/Jul/2010 01:40
“British troops in the Sangin area of Afghanistan’s Helmand province are to be replaced by US forces, the UK’s Defence Secretary Liam Fox has said.
The UK has suffered its heaviest losses in the area, with 99 deaths since 2001.
About 1,000 Royal Marines are expected to leave and be redeployed to central Helmand by the end of 2010.
The military insists the move is a redeployment, now there are more US troops on the ground, but the Taliban are certain to portray it as a defeat.”

Justice Dept. Sues Arizona Over Its Immigration Law
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 7/Jul/2010 22:07
“The Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against Arizona to challenge a new state law intended to combat illegal immigration, arguing that it would undermine the federal government’s pursuit of terrorists, gang members and other criminal immigrants.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/07/us/07immig.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
Yeah, because the federal government is working really, really hard at pursuing criminal immigrants (maybe this is why they can’t be bothered with pursuing illegal immigrants -Â they’re just way too busy pursuing criminal immigrants)
