Many illegal immigrants were already violent criminals when they arrived.
Widow of slain HPD officer sues Quintero
employer. The widow of slain Houston police officer Rodney Johnson filed a wrongful death
lawsuit Monday [5/19/2008] against the landscaper who employed Johnson's killer, as jurors continued
deliberating Juan Leonardo Quintero's fate. Quintero was convicted earlier this month of shooting
Johnson seven times after he was arrested during a traffic stop.
Man Dies in Shootout With California
Cops. A man suspected of shooting two police officers during a traffic stop was killed in a wild
shootout with police in a strip mall parking lot, authorities said Thursday [12/28/2006]. More than
50 shots were fired between Santa Ana police officers and 33-year-old Oscar Gabriel Gallegos on
Wednesday, Santa Ana Police Chief Paul Walters said. … Gallegos was an illegal immigrant who had been
deported three times and had a criminal record dating back to 1990, including arrests for drug offenses and
assault with a deadly weapon, authorities said.
Family blames
sanctuary policy in 3 slayings. San Francisco's immigrant sanctuary policies played a "substantial"
role in the slayings of a father and two of his sons by allowing city officials to shield the alleged killer from
deportation, despite his violent history, according to a legal claim filed Friday [8/22/2008] on behalf of the
victims' family. The claim is likely to be followed by a wrongful death lawsuit in which the family of
Tony Bologna and his sons could seek millions of dollars from the city.
'Where You From?'
The common factor in these killings, as with so many others: The alleged killers came to the country
illegally. Federal officials estimate that 40,000 of the 170,000 inmates held in Los Angeles County jails
each year are illegal immigrants. And in the cases of Espinoza and Ramos, the police had previously
arrested each and — for reasons that remain unclear — the authorities either never
referred the arrested alien to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation or ICE failed to institute
deportation proceedings.
Mexican Smugglers Make US
Lands Unsafe. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne has said that drug traffickers sneaking into the United
States from Mexico through U.S. lands administered by his department have made some of those lands unsafe for American
families.
Illegal
immigrant convicted of assaulting girl gets 57 more months. A deported illegal immigrant who returned to the
United States and sexually assaulted a young girl will be spending another 57 months in federal prison. Sergio
Hugo Hernandez, 31, of Las Vegas, received that sentence Friday [7/11/2008] on top of a sentence of 10 years to life
that he received in state prison for assaulting the girl, said Gregory A. Brower, U.S. Attorney for the District of
Nevada.
Daly City police seeking
suspect in pry-bar beating of elderly woman. Police are searching for a 28-year-old South San
Francisco man suspected of savagely beating a 78-year-old widow inside her Daly City home and leaving her for
dead after she surprised him during a robbery attempt. … They identified the suspect in the attack as Jose
Perez-Gonzalez, 28, an illegal alien originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, who has been living in South
San Francisco.
Hillary's Flip-Flops Border on Insanity.
According to Lt. Steve Rogers, a decorated cop in New Jersey and an award-winning writer, there are tens of thousands of
murderers, rapists, child predators, robbers and drug dealers who are illegally in the United States. One study
shows over 200,000 criminal aliens are preying on US citizens. Border Patrol agents in the Tucson, AZ Sector
have apprehended 27,834 illegal aliens with criminal records, 74 of which were for homicide.
The world's most dangerous gang:
MS-13 — or Mara Salvatrucha — is the biggest and fastest-growing of the Latin American
street gangs. In Maryland alone, MS-13 members are accused of being responsible for a long series of
violent crimes including murder. Favoured tactics include decapitation by machete. MS-13 started
life as a group of young immigrants on the streets of California in the 1980s.
Deporting some immigrant inmates
a big break for states. Programs in New York and Arizona aimed at cutting the prison sentences of
certain immigrant inmates so they can be deported faster have federal officials urging other states to adopt
similar policies. Officials in the two states say they have saved millions by turning over for early
deportation some non-violent immigrant criminals who have served at least half of their sentences.
Our illegal-alien criminal class. One
of the first signs of anarchy is when law-enforcement officers arrest common sense while allowing political correctness to
roam free. In Virginia Beach, near Norfolk, the reaction of city officials to the deaths of two beautiful teen-age
girls is a case in point.
DNA
Links Suspect to Freeway Rapes. A man who allegedly raped a 24-year-old woman whose car broke down
on a San Diego freeway was expected to enter a plea today to six felony charges, prosecutors said. ... [Alejandro
Martinez] Leyva, a gardener and apparent illegal immigrant, was being held at the Orange County Jail, and an
immigration hold was placed on him, [sheriff's spokesman Jim] Amormino said.
Slain officer missed suspect's gun in
search. The Houston police officer who was gunned down by a suspect Thursday [9/21/2006] after
a routine traffic stop apparently missed the man's weapon in a pat-down search, Capt. Dale Brown told reporters
today. Juan Leonardo Quintero, a 32-year-old illegal immigrant, has been charged with capital murder in
the shooting death of Houston Police Officer Rodney Johnson. … Brown said that Quintero had a criminal
history from 1995 to 1999, convicted for DWI, failure to stop and give information and indecency with a
child. His driver's license was suspended and he was deported to Mexico by immigration officials
in 1999, Brown said.
Cop Killing Sparks Immigration Debate. The
shooting of a Houston police officer has sparked a new battle over immigration. Juan Leonardo Quintero,
an illegal immigrant, has been charged with killing a Houston police officer last week after a routine traffic
stop. Police Chief Harold Hurtt blamed the federal government for failing to secure U.S. borders.
Cop murder spotlights crisis of
killer aliens. Though no government agency in the U.S. — not the FBI nor Immigration
and Customs Enforcement — tracks violent crimes by illegal aliens, even murders of police officers,
a search by WND of news reports in the last
three years shows law enforcement personnel are hardly immune to deadly carnage wrought
by untracked, undocumented armed predators inside the country.
Sex offender database changed to include deported
illegals. More than 2,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders, whose names were absent from a public
statewide database because they were deported, have been restored to the Texas Department of Public Safety
public Internet site after a Houston police officer's slaying a month ago.
Man
charged with child rape is in U.S. illegally, police say. Detectives have arrested a man they
say admitted having sex with a 12-year-old girl. Diego Francisco Escobar-Landaverde, 18, of Clayton
Estates in La Vergne, was charged him with rape of a child. The incident was reported Saturday
afternoon and the suspect was located less than an hour after police began work on the case, Chief Ted
Boyd said.
Congressman
calls Mexico a "drug cartel". Tom Tancredo, a Republican congressman and presidential candidate,
said Wednesday [11/14/2007] that the United States cannot trust the Mexican government in combating narcotics
and called the neighbouring counry a 'drug cartel.' 'Mexico is a drug cartel,' Tancredo said. 'The
degree of corruption inside the government and the military is so great that it's hard to see where the
government ends and where the cartels begin.'
Tijuana
police abandon posts. The municipal police force in this troubled border city walked off the job
Thursday [1/4/2007] after soldiers and federal agents ordered its members to turn over their weapons in
connection with homicide investigations. The surprising turn of events came two days after Mexican
President Felipe Calderon dispatched 3,300 federal troops and police to the city in an effort to combat
violence linked to drug cartels.
Man who led immigrant brothel
ring pleads guilty. A man accused of managing brothels in Texas and Oklahoma as part of a
nationwide ring that forced immigrant women into prostitution has pleaded guilty to federal charges.
Juan Balderas-Orosco, 34, faces up to 30 years in prison for transportation for prostitution, importation
of illegal aliens and conspiracy to smuggle, transport and harbor illegal aliens.
36 indicted in Mexican Mafia
crackdown. A former San Diegan and other leaders of the Mexican Mafia prison gang led a massive
crime syndicate in Southern California that ordered murders and controlled street gangs, according to a sweeping
federal indictment announced yesterday [6/16/2006].
Americans speaking out against illegal immigration.
Seven weeks after the collapse of legislation in Congress, the outcry against illegal immigration is louder than
ever. It is manifested by proposed clampdowns at the state and local level and an uproar over the arrest
of an undocumented immigrant in the execution-style slayings of three New Jersey college students.
The Color of Crime:
The execution-style murder of three African-American college students in Newark, N.J., forced to kneel and shot
in the head — allegedly by an illegal alien from Peru who was out on bail for the serial rape of a
5-year-old — has the makings of a Willie Horton issue in 2008. Newark, like New York, is a "sanctuary
city," where cops are not to ask criminal suspects if they are in the country legally.
For Illegal Aliens, Crime
Pays — and So Do We. Except for when an illegal alien does something horrific …
we rarely hear that these crimes are committed specifically by illegals. This is due to two factors:
first, illegal aliens are often silent on family violence and afraid to report crime within their communities.
And second, the mainstream media seem to go out of their way not to inform us, as they rarely make any
distinction between crimes committed by US citizen perpetrators or those committed by illegal alien
perpetrators, and this is an egregious violation of the press's mandate.
Government Not Tracking Illegal Alien
Crime Even As It Spirals Up. Operation Predator began on July 9, 2003, and resulted
in 6,085 child predator arrests throughout the country — an average of roughly 250 arrests per
month and eight arrests per day. However, while Operation Predator is a noble effort, it is making only
a small dent in the criminal activity of illegal aliens. In fact, the criminal activity in the illegal
alien community is now so bad that illegal aliens are being held for ransom and as slaves by other illegal
aliens, andsmugglersare kidnapping illegal aliens from other smugglers!
[The article above contains numerous additional links. Check it out.]
Illegal
Alien Criminal Activity Will Shock You. There are currently over 400,000 unaccounted-for illegal
alien criminals with outstanding deportation orders. Those are just the ones we managed to apprehend at
some point. At least one fourth of these are hard core criminals. No one knows how many more there
are. As noted above, however, they are numerous and roaming your neighborhoods, preying on you and your
family.
Mexican drug cartels take
over U.S. cities. Mexican drug cartels operating in cities in the U.S. are buying up legitimate
businesses to launder money and using some of the proceeds to win local mayoral and city council seats for
politicians who can shape the policies and personnel decisions of their police forces, according to
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., who has led the fight to secure the U.S.-Mexico border and enforce the
nation's immigration laws.
Brutal gang tests officers, cities and
FBI. A poor soul suspected of cooperating with the authorities is abducted at gunpoint, beaten
unmercifully, tortured and decapitated; another is gang-raped and shot repeatedly. … It is not Muslin
extremists in America who are perpetrating such acts of extreme violence within our own borders, but members
of a large, highly-organized and well-funded street gang known as MS-13. You'd better watch out, because
they may be coming to a neighborhood near you.
The Coming Gang War: According to the FBI's
National Gang Task Force Director Robert Clifford, MS-13 is following the same paths as do Mexican illegal
workers. Clifford said: "The migrant moves and the gang follows. If you follow the
construction trade, that is where a lot of these immigrants go."
'Most wanted' lists are filled with
hard-to-track Latinos. "We have no way to track down people like this," Johnston Sheriff's
Lt. Fred Dees said. "They're anonymous — invisible, really." Law enforcement agencies
often search in vain for suspects who may not be in the country legally. As a result, Latinos —
the bulk of the 300,000 illegal immigrants in the state [of North Carolina] — dominate the lists of
"most wanted" crime suspects in Wake and Johnston counties.
The gangstas in my
neighborhood: The peaceful suburbs of Washington, D.C., are beginning to look and feel like East
Los Angeles. The violent illegal alien gang Mara Salvatrucha (or MS-13) has thoroughly penetrated
the region — and its murderous members continue to be aided and abetted by reckless government
officials at every level who refuse to enforce our immigration laws.
MS-13 in Your
Backyard. They are vicious, they are violent, they murder, rob, rape and behead their
victims. MS-13 appears to be in control of much of the Mexican border. To sustain themselves
financially, they smuggle people, drugs and guns across borders. They collect money from illegals.
Where MS-13 goes, violence goes. They stop at nothing.
The victims of
illegal immigration. President Bush accuses those of us who want to secure America's borders and
fully enforce our immigration laws of lacking "compassion." Huh. Well, I have yet to hear an ounce
of compassion from President Bush for America's countless casualties of lax immigration enforcement.
Where's the sympathy for innocent, law-abiding citizens who have lost their lives at the hands of illegal
aliens and their open-borders enablers?
Illegal Alien Crime
Wave: On April 7, 2005, the US Justice Department issued a report on criminal aliens that
were incarcerated in federal and state prisons and local jails. In the population study of 55,322 illegal
aliens, researchers found that they were arrested at least a total of 459,614 times, averaging about eight arrests
per illegal alien.
Fired illegal indicted in
crimes. An illegal alien who lost his job because of Arizona's still-pending employer-sanctions
law has been indicted by a grand jury in Phoenix on charges of armed robbery, theft and aggravated assault.
Illegal Aliens Linked to Rise in Crime
Statistics. In the population study of a sample of 55,322 illegal aliens, researchers found that
they were arrested at least a total of 459,614 times, averaging about eight arrests per illegal alien. Nearly
all had more than one arrest. Thirty-eight percent (about 21,000) had between two and five arrests,
32 percent (about 18,000) had between six and ten arrests, and 26 percent (about 15,000) had 11 or
more arrests. Most of the arrests occurred after 1990.
Border control: The
Bush Administration would have us believe that most illegal immigrants (or "undocumented workers" in the
lingo of political correctness) are merely looking for a better life and taking only those jobs that
Americans do not want. Kerry Morales isn't buying that line. "Maybe 20 years ago the
illegals were innocent, hard-working people," she tells the San Antonio Express-News. "Not any
more. Now they're extremely dangerous. They mean violence."
Crime 'franchise' hub in
Denver. Federal and state authorities are working to permanently close a metro Denver
counterfeit documents ring allegedly masterminded by a Mexico-based crime family they believe operates
in at least 33 states, churning out tens of millions of dollars worth of fake IDs.
Five illegals face deportation
after killing principal. Deportation to Mexico is possible, if not likely, for five illegal
aliens involved in a fatal traffic crash this week that claimed the life of a popular school principal in
South Florida.
Immigration Insanity: Largely unknown to
most Americans is the large percentage of the nation's incarcerated criminal population representing the failure
of those agencies responsible to protect this nation against the dangers posed by illegal aliens.
Deputy David March: On April 29, 2002, Deputy Dave
March was murdered on the streets of Los Angeles County. The suspected gunman then fled the Country to
Mexico. It is believed by many that the Mexican Government has refused to extradite the suspected killer
because he may be imprisoned for life or executed for the crime.
Aztlan group blamed for newspaper
theft. Police at Pasadena City College in Southern California say they have no suspects in the
theft of 5,000 copies of the campus newspaper despite a claim by students identifying themselves as members
of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan — MEChA — saying they were responsible.
MEChA — The Mexican Nazi
Movement. MEChA ("Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan" or Chicano Students Movement of
Aztlan) is neither a fraternity nor a "good-natured and altruistic college campus organization". Rather,
it is the Hispanic version of the Nazis, Ku Klux Klan or Islamic Jihad — take your pick or mix 'n match.
