Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain have all promised 38 million illegals AMNESTY. Even quick amnesty in the form of DRIVER’S LICENSE. With a license there’s no lines, no back taxes, no fines and no learning English.
All three of the above have hispandered to the racist political party of La Raza... “The Race”. They have all three hired La Raza people to work for them.
Nancy Pelosi has vowed the wall will never be built. She has hired illegals illegally for decades on her Napa winery.
Dianne Feinstein sends out disingenuous letters to her legal constituents that expresses her concern about the Mexican invasion, now costing CA alone 15 billion a year. It’s all bogus. She’s working for open borders and amnesty for millions of farm workers working for her big agri bix contributors. You pick up the staggering cost of these same workers when their on welfare, getting free medical, birthing, and education. Feinstein calls Americans “STUPID” that want the existing laws on illegals obeyed. She hires illegals to work her San Francisco hotel.
Barbara Boxer does anything Feinstein tells her. She is one of the many DEMS that takes bribes from Feinstein’s pimp-husband to keep her mouth shut about Feinstein’s China deals and WAR PROFITEERING.
Feinsteins backers Bank of American and Wells Fargo, both La Raza donors, make millions off wire transfers to Mexican drug money back to narco-mex. They open bank accounts for illegals using the phoney Mex consulate ID’s which Mexico prints and distributes like grocery store coupons.
In the sanctuary City of Los Angeles 47% of those employed are illegals. Illegals cash welfare checks in the amount of $40 million PER MONTH. Gang related crime including ethnic cleansing smothers Los Angeles, which Christian Science Monitor characterizes as MEXICAN GANG CAPITAL OF AMERICA. The mayor of Los Angeles, La Raza member Anthony Villaraigosa, is characterized as a virulently racist Mexican supremacist. Therefore Hillary made the little runt Mex her campaign co-chairman with promises of a cabinet post if he delivered the illegals’ votes! Feinstein and Boxer have long fought ENGLISH ONLY and ID for voting to make this easier.
Are you getting the pictures of how bad it is? Do you really think your government is working for you, or WALL ST that has depressed wages $200 billion per year with the invasion of Mexico.
We are Mexico’s welfare system. We are Mexico’s biggest market for drugs.
Mexican Drug Cartels Making Audacious Pitch for Recruits
Banners Taunt Military With Appeals to Soldiers and Deserters

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico -- The job offer was tempting.
It was printed on a 16-foot-wide banner and strung above one of the busiest roads here, calling out to any "soldier or ex-soldier."
"We're offering you a good salary, food and medical care for your families," it said in block letters.
But there was a catch: The employer was Los Zetas, a notorious Gulf cartel hit squad formed by elite Mexican army deserters. The group even included a phone number for job seekers that linked to a voice mailbox.
Outrageous as they seem, drug cartel messages such as the banner hung here late last month are becoming increasingly common along the violence-savaged U.S.-Mexico border and in other parts of the region. As soldiers wage a massive campaign against drug trafficking across Mexico, they are encountering an information war managed by criminal networks that operate with near impunity.
The cartels' appeals -- which authorities generally believe to be authentic recruitment efforts -- seem designed in part to taunt a military plagued by at least 100,000 desertions in the past eight years.
Even though the drug war has traumatized Mexicans, cartels still use bravado and a dash of humor to gain supporters. The Nuevo Laredo banner, for instance, promised that the cartels would not feed new recruits instant noodle soup, an allusion to the cheap and frequently mocked meals that many poor soldiers are forced to eat and that the government often provides to stranded migrants.
A similar sign in the Gulf of Mexico city of Tampico promised "loans and life insurance."
"What else could you want?" it read. The banner closed with a boast: "The state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, the United States and the world -- territory of the Gulf cartel."
"The cartels are very good at this -- they've had songs written about them, they put up these signs, they make themselves out to be Robin Hoods," Carlos Martínez, a Nuevo Laredo elementary school principal and community activist, said in an interview. "People like this. We Mexicans like a good joke -- we like to make fun of our problems."
The banners also appeal to many poorer Mexicans who respect the brashness of the cartels, which provide food, clothing and toys to win civilians' loyalty.
Marcelino, a 74-year-old pensioner who did not provide his last name for fear of retribution, said that he had been wronged plenty of times by police but that drug traffickers had given him a sturdy mountain bike. When the subject of the cartel's banner here came up, he laughed until he broke down in a coughing fit.
"We are all Zetas. No doubt about it, we are all Zetas," he said.
Marcelino said police had harassed his neighbors, trumping up phony criminal violations and extracting bribes to avoid incarceration. Previous local governments tried to throw him and other squatters off government land. Drug traffickers, however, sided with the squatters, earning their enduring gratitude by paying to build cinder-block shacks and distributing clothing.
"I trust the Zetas more than the thieving police and soldiers," Marcelino said. "The police are rats."
Cartels have long been known for showy displays designed to gain public support, though their public campaigns have become more audacious.
Last week, clowns entertained 500 children and gave out presents at a party in the city of Acuña, across the border from southeast Texas. A banner said the party was sponsored by Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, the Gulf cartel kingpin who is now imprisoned on drug trafficking charges in the United States.
"Your friend Osiel Cárdenas Guillén wishes you a Happy Children's Day," the banner read. "You are the future of Mexico."
For every cheeky public display, there are also darker messages, including threats carved into the bodies of shooting victims. In January, drug cartels are suspected of having left a banner with the names of 17 "executable" police officials on a monument to fallen officers in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso. In typically macabre style, the banner was accompanied by funeral flowers. Since then, at least nine of the men named on the banner have been assassinated.
Nearly all the cartels' messages get big play in local media, especially in small but well-read afternoon papers that specialize in gory crime coverage. Mexican reporters and editors say they are often contacted by local drug chieftains who demand that photographs of cartel banners and victims be displayed prominently. The threats carry weight -- Mexico trails only Iraq in journalist deaths.
Faced with a blizzard of publicity about every cartel pronouncement, some military officials fear they are losing the information war. A top military official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment, said cartels have succeeded in getting the public on their side in some places and in recruiting soldiers to their ranks. The general said internal rules prevent the army from using paid advertisements to counter the drug cartels' public messages.
"Lamentably, it's human nature for some of our men to fall to the temptations of money," the general said.
At the same time, the cartels have seized on human rights allegations against the military to win the hearts of some residents, the general said. Cartels prize the allegiance of residents because they can provide hiding places during crackdowns or refuse to cooperate with authorities investigating trafficking networks.
Mexican soldiers are prime targets for the recruitment efforts by cartels.
In an interview, former Gen. José Francisco Gallardo said that some soldiers don't initially intend to join criminal groups after deserting, but that once they leave the military, they find it almost impossible to get legitimate employment without revealing their status as deserters. That makes them easy targets for job offers -- both the splashy sort that appeared in Nuevo Laredo and quieter entreaties -- presented by drug lords, Gallardo said.
"This is one of the main origins of insecurity in our country," Gallardo said. "These soldiers are lost -- fugitives in their own country -- and they're angry."
Once they join drug gangs, the deserters seem "cool" to many people, according to Martínez, the Nuevo Laredo school principal and activist. Children in his neighborhood see banners advertising jobs in drug gangs and connect those images with the suddenly prosperous deserters, and other cartel recruits, they meet on the streets. With few opportunities for employment in Mexico's weak economy, the prospect of joining a gang is appealing, he said.
"They see these guys driving around in new pickup trucks and wearing nice clothes, and they're impressed," Martínez said.
A few days after the cartel recruitment banner appeared in Nuevo Laredo, Martínez said, he came across a group of 8-year-olds talking -- as 8-year-olds are wont to do -- about what they wanted to be when they grew up.
One little boy stood up, Martínez said, and proudly announced his hope: "I want to be a Zeta."

US fights a border-crime 'epidemic'
Law-enforcement agencies find new ways to coordinate their efforts to stem the rise of violence on the border with Mexico.
By Faye Bowers | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
PHOENIX
Pima County sheriff Clarence Dupnik expressed his frustration and made a plea for help after a fatal ambush of undocumented immigrants 25 miles south of Tucson last month.
Two illegal immigrants had just been killed and another injured during what was apparently a botched heist of a drug shipment. It turned out that the pickup truck attacked was transporting 23 illegal immigrants, not drugs, into the US.
"The violence associated with the problem of migration and narcotics ... has reached epidemic proportions," Mr. Dupnik told reporters on March 30. "If we had the money for the kinds of resources that we need, we could make a huge impact on border violence and crime."
As Congress debates a comprehensive immigration program that many say is the only way to deal with the smuggling problems and the violence that it entails, Dupnik's remarks show that those law-enforcement officers and agencies on the front lines are beginning to speak out, unite, and search for their own solutions.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), for instance, recently sent a new special agent to lead Arizona's efforts.
"ICE is taking the lead in trying to consolidate the disparate and disjointed efforts – at least on the human smuggling side," says Alonzo Peña, special agent in charge of ICE for Arizona. "One of the initiatives I'm bringing forward with our state, local, and other federal partners is a system to better track and coordinate investigations and intelligence related to immigration in the state of Arizona."
Upon arrival in Phoenix last October, Mr. Peña was confronted with not only combating the highly sophisticated criminal organizations that smuggle more drugs and aliens into Arizona than any other state, but with building workable coalitions with local, state, and other federal law enforcement agencies.
So far, local officials have praised his efforts. He's now in the midst of implementing a three-tiered approach to bring other agencies on the same page and to leverage the resources of each agency so they can conduct more focused and collaborative operations.
Better law enforcement coordination
First, ICE is linking up with US Border Patrol and National Guard troops on Arizona's southern border to make sure the groups share intelligence and investigative efforts about smuggling networks.
Second, ICE is linking up with Phoenix metro area law-enforcement agencies in the central part of Arizona. That's where most of the leaders of the smuggling organizations are based, Peña says, along with the major fake document vendors and funding and support structures for the criminal organizations.
Third, ICE plans to work aggressively and cooperatively with the Arizona Department of Public Safety's interdiction units in combating over-the-road smuggling efforts north of Phoenix – so far, the weakest link in the chain, Peña says. Phoenix is the main hub for illegal immigrants to enter the US.
ICE already has begun entering into what are known as "287G agreements" with several local law-enforcement agencies. These agreements allow ICE officials to train and empower various law-enforcement officials to arrest illegal immigrants, which until recently wasn't possible. If a local sheriff, for example, stopped someone for a routine traffic violation and suspected the person was in the US illegally, the sheriff would have had to call either Border Patrol or ICE officials to make that determination. Now, those law-enforcement officials entering into the 287G agreements can make that determination and cite the individuals for illegal entry into the US.
So far, ICE has entered into 287G agreements with the Arizona Department of Corrections, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department.
Last Wednesday, Sheriff Arpaio's Illegal Immigration Interdiction Strike Force, after stopping a van for a traffic violation, arrested two smugglers for transporting 17 illegal immigrants into Arizona.
"Arpaio's deputies and volunteer posse operations have arrested 523 illegals under the state human smuggling law and 71 under federal immigration law," says a statement from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department.

THE MEXICAN DRUG SMUGGLER PROCLAIMS.... “'We're just trying to make a living like anyone else.” Haven’t we heard that from all the Mexicans the Mexican government ships over our borders? That and “you fucking racist gringos!”
Tijuana enclave feels sting of escalating border strife
By Richard Marosi
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
December 14, 2007
TIJUANA — In an escalation of clashes between U.S. Border Patrol agents and rock-throwing smugglers, agents have begun launching pepper spray and tear gas into densely populated Mexican border neighborhoods, according to witnesses, Mexican authorities and human rights groups.
The more aggressive approach reflects the tense climate in this city's most notorious smuggling neighborhood, Colonia Libertad, where U.S. agents say they have had to counter human traffickers' increasingly aggressive tactics by ramping up their own use of force.
Agents have used pepper spray in the past, but usually aimed directly at the smugglers. The new tactics, which saturate large areas, have forced dozens of temporary evacuations and sent some residents to hospitals, according to witnesses.
Border Patrol officials say tear gas and pepper spray rarely cause serious injury or damage. They say that they use them against assailants trying to divert attention from border crossers by pelting agents, and that residents are not targeted.
Since Oct. 1, the Border Patrol has counted 90 assaults against agents in the San Diego area, five times as many as during the same period a year ago. Agents have suffered serious head injuries, officials say.
The acting Mexican consul general in San Diego, Ricardo Pineda, has met with Border Patrol officials to protest the aggressive use of tear gas and pepper spray, said Alberto Lozano, the consular spokesman.
"We told them the Mexican government cannot tolerate having Mexican nationals hit with these kind of devices on Mexican soil by U.S. authorities, regardless of the reason," Lozano said.
Residents of the area's hillside shanties and muddy streets say the Border Patrol's measures neglect their welfare. Some agents, they say, show compassion, even apologizing for the tactics. But others are defiant and continue saturating areas despite their pleas.
"I said to the agent, 'Put yourself in my place. I have two children,' " said Robis Guadalupe Argumeo, who added that her home has been gassed three times since August, most recently after a verbal exchange with an agent Saturday. "He said, 'I'm the policeman of the world. No one can touch me.' "
The agent, Argumeo said, was peering over the border fence pointing his pepper-spray launcher at her house. She said that she told him, "But this isn't Iraq, this is Mexico" but that he continued firing into the neighborhood.
The clashes are taking place east of the San Ysidro port of entry along a two-mile stretch of border where Colonia Libertad, one of Tijuana's most densely populated neighborhoods, pushes up against the frontier.
This was once a heavily trampled immigrant-smuggling corridor where hundreds crossed nightly, but trafficking slowed considerably a decade ago when U.S. authorities erected two layers of fencing.
In recent months, however, illegal crossings and assaults have increased dramatically, agents say. Apprehensions of illegal immigrants are up 7% this year in the San Diego area, the only area on the Southwest border that showed an increase from last year.
The situation has deteriorated to the point that authorities are considering whether to add barbed wire to fencing along certain areas bordering Colonia Libertad, an option avoided in the past because of the negative symbolism.
Agents say smugglers -- by wearing cardboard shields or heavy jackets to deflect the projectiles -- long ago adapted to the original tactic of shooting pepper balls directly at them. The agents say the pepper balls, which explode on impact, don't seem to affect some of the hardened smugglers.
Using larger quantities of pepper spray and tear gas is more likely to disrupt their operations and de-escalate violence, agents say.
Smugglers throw rocks and other objects as one way to give immigrants time to scale the fences and disappear. Agents say the attacks are highly coordinated.
Two years ago an agent fatally shot a rock thrower in Colonia Libertad, prompting protests from the Mexican government. Border Patrol officials say using nonlethal weapons is the best way to avoid deadly outcomes.
"It's either that or you allow those people to assault our agents at an astronomical level and somebody gets killed," said Agent Richard Smith, a Border Patrol spokesman. "The alien-and drug-smuggling organizations should be ashamed for using innocent people as shields. It just goes to show they prioritize profit over human safety."
Some Mexican residents sympathize with the U.S. agents. Carmen Lopez, 63, scolds smugglers who climb onto her tar-paper roof to get a better view of Border Patrol activity. "The smugglers tell me, 'We're just trying to make a living like anyone else,' " she said.
But a smuggler pelted her for complaining, and she now stays inside. If anyone's to blame, she said, it's the Tijuana police, who should crack down; until then the Border Patrol's tactics are justified.
"How can they be at fault? They have a right to defend themselves," Lopez said.
Many others disagree.
In the last few weeks, there have been at least six incidents of Border Patrol agents throwing or shooting pepper spray or tear gas into the area, forcing the temporary evacuations of dozens of people, according to witnesses and others. After a canister -- possibly of pepper spray, possibly of tear gas -- exploded outside her home in late November, Marisela Arias, 19, who is four months pregnant, said she struggled to breathe and fainted.
The car is the least of his worries, he said. "Something has to be done -- more than anything, for the children."23 arrested in O.C. on heroin charges

The smuggling operation brought heroin from Mexico for distribution throughout California, authorities said. Drugs, weapons and cashed are seized. By Jennifer Delson

December 14, 2007
Twenty-three people were arrested this week in connection with a smuggling operation that brought heroin from Mexico into Orange County for distribution throughout California, officials said.
Beginning at 6 a.m. Wednesday, investigators seized about 3.3 pounds of heroin, $25,000 in cash, a shotgun and several other weapons during searches of nine Santa Ana homes, a residence in Garden Grove and Rollin Auto Collision in Santa Ana. Among those arrested was Francisco Javier Valencia-Contreras, 29, owner of the auto shop and suspected ringleader of the organization.
All but three of those arrested are from Santa Ana. They range in age from 17 to 55, and most are seasoned drug distributors, officials said. The group included several families.
Valencia and the others were charged with conspiracy to possess heroin for distribution and sale. Four were taken into federal custody on immigration violations.
The arrests are among numerous heroin-related enforcement actions this year in Orange County.
"People have the mistaken impression that heroin is no longer a popular drug. We have had several significant seizures of heroin in Orange County this year," said Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which worked with Santa Ana police on a 10-month investigation that led to the arrests.
Orange County has long been an attractive hub for smugglers, said Joseph Macias, ICE assistant special agent in charge of investigations.
Whether more drugs are entering the county isn't known, he said. "All I can say is we are getting more involved," he said.
The drugs seized this week were brown heroin, a less pure variety than black tar heroin, which constitutes 80% of the heroin produced in Mexico.
The investigation began this year when Santa Ana police seized about 6 pounds of heroin at a local house and more than $20,000 that authorities said implicated Valencia in a distribution scheme.
Detectives determined that Valencia received heroin from the same organization that ICE identified in a February bust in Anaheim that resulted in the seizure of nearly 113 pounds of heroin.
Valencia's business, at 1st and Lacy streets, has been the target of several prior drug trafficking investigations, most notably in 2004 when police in North Carolina seized cocaine found in hidden compartments in vehicles registered to Rollin Auto.
