Memo to Snyder: Don’t stop the radical reforms now!New York Times goes to bat for criminal illegal aliens

The New York Times recently editorialized that Secure Communities, a federal program instituted under the Bush administration and being pushed by the Obama administration, “snares innocent immigrants.” The program checks names and fingerprints of anyone arrested against immigration records to determine if the arrestee is an illegal alien. The police then turn the person over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation proceedings. So what’s wrong with that? How does it snare innocent immigrants if they are arrested and here illegally?
Ivory tower.
The New York Times claims that this program is a “source of anxiety and anger for cities, counties and police departments that want to preserve a bright line between local policing and federal immigration enforcement. Their valid concern is that local officers should never be seen by immigrant communities as arms of immigration enforcement.” Then the editor wrote: “Fighting and preventing crime are unrelated to detaining and deporting immigrants and should stay that way” (emphasis added).
How can anyone concerned with “preventing crime” not see that deporting criminal aliens and depriving them of the opportunity to commit other crimes, is directly doing just that? The Times claims that “tens of thousands” of illegal aliens with no criminal record have been deported under the program, and that these people “pose no conceivable danger to their communities.” That’s completely absurd. These people came into the program because they did something to cause their arrest. The police didn’t round them up because they looked like they might be here illegally. They did something criminal to bring themselves to the attention of local law enforcement.
How can a person deserving arrest not pose a conceivable danger to the community? If an illegal alien, without an arrest record, drives drunk and kills someone, is he not a conceivable danger to the community? Of course he is. Because illegal aliens have no ties to this country, they can run amok and then flee back to old Mexico when they feel the heat is on. They often return later when the heat is off to commit another crime. But the Times would like you to believe he’s merely a harmless member of the “immigrant” community.
Secure Communities could be the best crime prevention program ever developed if all cities participate. The only way to improve it is to pass a federal law that mimics Arizona’s SB 1070 illegal immigration law. Police officers who can question the immigration status of individuals they lawfully encounter during normal police business will potentially prevent and reduce future crimes. At a minimum, it will serve aliens with notice that there are consequences to entering this country illegally. The program works so well that the mayor of Juarez, Mexico is complaining that the city’s murder rate is so high because the U.S. is deporting Mexican murderers back to Mexico.
Why are cities such as San Francisco and the District of Columbia attempting to opt out of the Secure Communities program? Mexican and other illegal aliens have formed a powerful political base that has jeopardized the safety and security of these sanctuary cities by blocking any attempts to enforce U.S. immigration laws. This political base wants to continue unsustainable social programs that others pay for. They want the wealth spread to them by the gringos they feel stole their land.
The real reason the New York Times editorial staff hates Secure Communities is because it painlessly and accurately identifies illegal aliens and properly puts them into the immigration system for immediate deportation. It rids American communities of undesirable people, whose mere presence is a crime and an affront to law abiding citizens and worthy permanent resident aliens who had to endure years of paperwork and frustration to get the opportunity to live here. The program maintains the integrity of law, and saves billions of dollars of taxpayer services for undeserving people. There is so much to hate from the newspaper’s perspective.
The program makes perfect sense. Elite liberal New York Times readers who hibernate in Manhattan don’t understand the frustration people across the country have with the illegal alien invasion. I applaud the Obama administration for not caving into newspaper editorial boards and other illegal alien sympathizers who want to remove this effective program and open our borders to anybody with the means to get here.

The only way to enforce illegal immigration is with the help of local enforcement. Other countries know this, and so does our government. The immigration reform of 1996 addressed this, sadly it was not implemented like it was intended.
Legal immigrants (like my family) have nothing to fear.
All and I do mean all illegal aliens need to be found where ever they are hiding . All in office that support and coddle illegal aliens need to be removed from office. The American Giant has been awaken to the illegal immigration invasion and the backlash will be felt at the voting box in November
Wow. It must be nice to live in a country where police only arrest you if you have done something wrong. I alas live in the United States where that is an ideal unmatched by actual reality. Targeting people under some pretense of law in order to get them in the system (and for many immigrants, legal and otherwise, into deportation proceedings) is what American police do in communities where poor or working class people live. You must not get to the city much. Busted taillight, too many parking tickets, driving with an accent or kinky hair, you going to jail, son!
Even if that were not unarguably the case in a lot of the United States, the fantasy that we will deport our way out of our current immigration mess ought to be nipped in the bud. Almost all of the 11,900,000 undocumented immigrants living and raising families in the U.S. will be here for the rest of their lives (and ours). Let’s get real and make them get legal (and give them some chance of doing so) so that cops can concentrate on actual serious criminals who threaten our communities — whether they were born here or not.
The law and order side of the immigration issue has switched and you are now on the wrong side of it. Let’s get control, let’s hold people accountable, but that only starts with abandoning the mass deportation fantasy and making them get legal if they are not serious criminals.
Los Angeles as an example is just one haven for illegal aliens where expenditures will keep skyrocketing upwards, if the majority of Democratic Liberals in Sacramento are not removed. California cannot pay its bills, because the amount expended to support the 2.5 million illegal alien households in the county. In the midterm elections watch cautiously illegal aliens violating federal voting laws. Be particularly observant of absentee balloting, as it’s not that complicated for foreigners to vote and alter the direction of voting numbers. The whole system of “Honor Voting” has been compromised in the last ten years and may have severe implications in close races in LA and in every other precinct across the country. The Tea Party, moderate Conservatives neither genuflect to either the GOP elites or the Liberal Democrats. Learn who is buying and selling your families future, by allowing this rising incursion into our country. It’s been the obligation of both parties and is they are entirely to blame through the years.
Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, who has used the race card and has the same Modus Operandi as Sen. Harry Reid in enacting new laws to maintain illegal immigration. First bill in the next session of the Senate will be another try at Amnesty by Reid, Pelosi and Napolitano. Voting–YES–on funding Sanctuary Cities (March 2008), even when deaths at the hands of illegal alien criminals has spiraled out of control; Voted—YES–on Comprehensive Immigration Reform–Amnesty; Voted–NO–In declaring the English official language of government; that would save millions of dollars in judicial documents in 176 foreign languages and professional translators for court appearances (June 2007). Voted–YES–on another Guest Worker program (May 2006), resembling the 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act gave Amnesty that upped the population and in addition voted–YES–on illegal aliens being able to participate in our Social Security system (May 2006), that is on the rocks now and then providing Social Services to non citizens.
Heaven help us—Americans have worked all their lives to collect Social Security, to keep them afloat for the rest of their lives. But Barbara Boxer has attracted the people’s outrage to join the rest of the Liberal crowd to enact this legislation, allowing foreigners who have never paid into this financial pool access to our Social Security? In my view as a Tea Party advocate–ALL these incumbents should be shown the road out of town, tarred and feathered. Federal law already has mandated free health care for anybody, who can dodge the US border Guards, plus education for their children and an overcrowded prison system. Estimates are over a hundred billion dollars a year, with a large proportion spent to support the instant citizenship of babies intentionally born here. None of these massive taxpayer funds cover the draining of public welfare at the State, County and city outpouring of welfare payment in services and cash.
IF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WAS EVER HONEST ABOUT STOPPING THIS UNVOICED INVASION, THEY WOULD HAVE MADE ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO AMERICA A FIRST CLASS FELONY.
It’s easy to speculate that the majority of illegal aliens who appear here are far from the highly educated, the individual and their families that are not business owners, wealthy or those with any special abilities. The people who flee south of the border or Latin countries, Asia are people who have no job skills, desperate and penniless. They come to USA with the compliments of their countries officials, since our society has been negligent and a dumping ground with a border easily circumvented. American taxpayers have become unfortunate subservient pushovers by years of our administration in supporting these recipients of our welfare system. They arrive from countries that are overpopulated through religious conviction, dictatorships and our nation has developed into a behemoth relief valve to all other lands woes. Below our border those governments have never placed any restrictions on their people illegally migrating here, explicitly since estimates of 60 billion dollars are transferred from the illegal workers remittances to their foreign banks annually.
Illegal aliens are destroying this Country, and one would have to be almost blind not to see this. How much longer do we have to support these illegal aliens? How much longer do we have to school their illegal alien children? How much longer are we going to let them have our jobs? How much longer are we going to put up with all the crime, stolen identities, forged documents, fake green cards? How much longer are we going to allow these illegal aliens to send money out of this Country and bring our Country down? Oh, amnesty will correct all this. WRONG! Nothing will change except we wouldn’t be able to call them illegal aliens any more. Let’s get rid of these illegal aliens! Let’s get them back to their own Country where they belong!
If illegal aliens are allowed to continue determining America’s future, that future will be in stark contrast to its past.
I hate to point it out to you, but there was no such thing as coming to the US illegally, at one time. So all of those out there who want to claim superiority over immigrants who don’t have papers, go check your family tree. Did great grand-dad come over with papers? Of course not, they didn’t even give them out, you just walked right in.
Illegal is a criminal act, not a person. People should have the right to live in any country they choose, provided they are not wanted for criminal behavior elsewhere. Choosing to move to another country to try to support your family is not criminal, it’s human.
You are breaking the law by breaking into the country. This is illegal (which means against the law) and displays no respect for America itself. You knew you where wrong then and you still are. If someone breaks into your home, would you make them a cup of coffee and offer a room for the night? I’m sure they can afford a hotel room the next day after they sell all you jewelry. Just think of it as a donation to charity. I don’t know who is worse, the illegals or all the stupid individuals who support it.
I hate to point this out, but whatever was, was and has not bearing on what is. People do not have the right to live in any country they choose. The governments control their borders for national security reasons if not for anything else. If you cross the border into most countries without proper documentation or overstay your visit, you have then broken the law and therefore are now a criminal. Criminals break the law. Trying to go to another county to better your life is not criminal, however when you sneak into that country you are well aware of your actions otherwise you would have came through the front entrance. Stop making excuses and do it the right way.
While the federal government may have original jurisdiction to enforce federal immigration laws, and declare war, the federal government does not have exclusive jurisdiction to enforce federal immigration laws. Under laws enacted by Congress, states have concurrent jurisdiction and are requested and encouraged to assist the enforcement of federal immigration laws. US States are encouraged to engage in war, if invaded.
See: Article 1 Section 10, Clause 3 and Article 4 Section 4.
287(g)(10)(B) (RE (8USC1357)(g)(10)(B)) is a federal directive informing the state governments that state and local police are requested, encouraged and authorized by Congress to enforce federal immigration laws.
SB1070 is a chain of command directive from state government directing state and local police officers to enforce federal immigration laws per 287(g) (8USC1357).
Hi please excuse my spelling , I am using Google translate so I might understand something wrong. I found your blog on LIVE “New York Times goes to bat for criminal illegal aliens” was generally close to what I was researching for, but after browsing through your post I still was not able locate simple solution to my question and this is driving me daffy. I like your blog and think it is really helpful but I think you could make it even better if you polish your internal website search to make it easier for people to find needed information within your blog.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
I am however glad to see obama the messiah digging his hole deeper by the day.
