Human Trafficking Through The War Zone - A Bus Ride



Illegal aliens travel a perilous road to the land of the Big PX

Anyone who sees this as anything other than a dispatch from
a war zone needs to read it again. Think about it. Then
read it again.

In The Valley of the Rio Grande - My wife came up from our
home near Monterrey on the bus.

They stopped the bus four different times.

The locales, the local police, the guys in the blue
uniforms, they stopped the bus four different times, she
said.

They made everyone get off the bus, then they searched them
and took all the money they could find on them.

The kids coming up from the interior to find work? They
took all their money.

Finally, she said, at the last place they made the bus
driver stop, the customs checkpoint about 25 miles south of
the border, this one kid had only 20 pesos left in his
pocket.

He told them he didn't have any papers, so they took him
inside the building and searched him. That's what the bus
driver told her.

They took the 20 pesos away from him, too.

That's the way they do it.

TEA Party Senate Candidate Wins Alaska GOP Primary

Joe Miller, a Tea Party-backed candidate, won the Alaskan Republican primary. Now that he has won, members of the national committee that helps GOP candidates for Senator win elections is waiting and watching to see what he will do.

Just days ago Miller was accusing the National Republican Senatoria. Committee of what he called “meddling” in the campaign on his opponent's behalf. As late as last week, the candidate said he thought the GOP should stay "on the sidelines."

Nevertheless, the committee put out a statement immediately applauding his win. They will make a decision about supplying money and sending support staff if the candidate requests it.

Now that he’s the presumed nominee, NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh says his group is willing to help Miller with staff and funds.

The national group that helps Democrats get elected to the Senate says it believes Scott McAdams is a strong candidate, but it would not say whether it plans to send money and support staff up to Alaska. A spokeswoman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee says it never talks about fundraising strategy.

The DSCC would not issue a statement about the Senate race or its level of support for McAdams.

Alaska Senator Mark Begich says he fully plans to ask the DSCC and others to get involved and contribute to the McAdams effort.

The Senator said he thinks the race is wide open, and will likely be tightly contested in the end. Begich added that since McAdams won the Democratic primary last week, his campaign has garnered tens of thousands of dollars in donations from Alaskans.

Arizona Judge Tosses Tucson Cop's Liability Lawsuit



By Dave Gibson

Policeman's suit alleged tough new immigration law would cost him in court if he enforces it

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton dismissed a lawsuit filed by Tucson police officer Martin Escobar, who alleged he would be subject to civil liability for violating the rights of others in enforcing SB1070.

Judge Bolton granted Gov. Jan Brewer's legal team’s request and dismissed Escobar’s suit, saying that he lacks legal standing.

Brewer applauded the ruling, stating: “I strongly believe that Arizona will ultimately prevail in all of these legal challenges.”

Escobar is a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Mexico and was brought to this country by his parents when he was five years old.

So far, two of the seven challenges to SB1070 have been dismissed.

One of the remaining suits was filed by Phoenix police officer David Salgado.

Mr. Gibson's latest book, "Replacing Americans: The Deadly Consequences of an Open Border with Mexico," is a Barnes & Noble selection. - Ed.

Citizenship For Babies Of Illegals - U.S. Is Last Holdout

This is a list of all the developed nations of the world that offer birthright citizenship to the babies of tourists and illegal aliens born on U.S. soil.

United States

Want to see it again?

United States

That's right. Every other modern industrially developed nation in the world has gotten rid of birthright citizenship policies that bestow citizenship upon the children of those who are in their countries illegally.

At one point, many countries gave away their citizenship as
freely as we do in the U.S.

One by one, they all have recognized the folly of that
policy.

Here is a list of those countries which have discontinued
their policy of automatic citizenship for kids of tourists,
illegal aliens and other individuals with no American
citizenship.

Canada was the last non-U.S. holdout. Illegal aliens stopped
getting citizenship for their babies in 2009.

Australia's birthright citizenship requirements are much
more stringent than those required in the U.S. The
Australians stopped giving away citizenship in 2007.

New Zealand repealed birthright citizenship for illegals in
2006.

Ireland repealed the policy in 1993.

India repealed in 1987.

United Kingdom repealed in 1983.

Portugal repealed in 1981.

The United States is the only nation left in the modern
world that so casually bestows citienship upon the children
of those who are in its borders illegally. Only the U.S.
gives citizenship to the off-spring of foreign citizens
visiting Disney World on tourist visas and to foreign
citizens who have violated their promises on their visitor,
or work and student visas to stay illegally in the country,
inlcuding those who sneak across our borders.

Drones Patrol Border - Gang Attack Leaves 8 Dead



Yucatan - When the gangsters came to collect the local "tax"
for protection, the owners of the bar in the seaside resort
town of Cancun turned them down.

Not long after, according to witnesses, they returned with
gasoline bombs and attacked the establishment in a deadly
assault that left 6 women and 2 men dead.

The Castillo del Mar was located in a low income area far
from the city's tourist zone. Though Quintana Roo State
Attorney General Francisco Alor said the cause of the blaze
is still under investigation, numerous eye witnesses told
news reporters they witnessed the attack.

The establishment offered table dances and other
attractions, according to the state attorney, who noted its
owners have had problems in the past. He did not specify
the nature of the troubles.

But it is well known that businesses throughout Mexico are
hit for protection money and when they refuse to pay, they
are attacked by the gangsters who demand the tax.

Though Cancun has been spared much of the violence that has
plagued larger cities on the smuggling routes in Sinaloa,
Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua and Sonora States, this is
definitely an example of the kind of violence that has led
to the loss of 28,000 lives over the past 4 years.

Meanwhile, U.S. officials announced the launch of a Predator
drone aircraft out of Corpus Christi to complete the aerial
surveillance of the border from Tijuana to Matomoros.

The unmanned aircraft are operated from air conditioned
trailers far away from their area of operations by pilots
who are qualified to fly much more elaborate aircraft.
Using such devices as night vision video and Forward Looking
Infrared (FLIR) cameras, the pilots and operators are able
to spot illegal immigrants and smugglers from 19,000 feet in
alitutude, then direct Blackhawk and Apache helicopters
laden with Homeland Security and National Guard operatives
to intercept their quarry.



Sheriff Seeks Indictment Against Jail Standards Chief


Austin - Even though an internal investigation cleared the
executive director of the Texas Commission on Jail
Standards, a Nueces County Grand Jury has indicted Adan
Muñoz, Jr., on two felony counts of misuse of official
information.

The former Sheriff of Kleberg County, Mr. Muñoz gave a jail screening form to reporters for the Corpus Christi "Caller- Times" that identified an inmate as suicidal.

Samuel Salazar committed suicide in February.

Sheriff Jim Kaelin says the form was not the property of the jail standards chief to release to the media, that the
information is exempt from Texas Open Records requirments as
public information.

Officials of the Jail Standards Commission differed, as do
attorneys with the Freedom of Information Foundation of
Texas, according to its director, Keith Elkins. He said,
"Our lawyers can't find a clear legal violation that would
have resulted in these indictments."

The federal charge is usually reserved for cases in which a
person derived some personal benefit from the release of
privileged information to friends or supporters.

The felony charges could result in Mr. Muñoz's incarceration
for a maximum of 10 years and a fine of $10,000.

His attorney, Rene Rodriguez, told a district court that the
DA erred in two areas in seeking the indictment.

Sheriff's Kaelin's "actions and fase accusations leading to
an indictment in this matter border on mental instability
and irrational behavior."

Because the jails standards chief gave the sheriff as
failing grade on the Nueces County Jail, the attorney said,
of the Sheriff, "He's taking personal umbrage to,
essentially, someone giving him an F as a grade."

Furthermore, the claim that the screening form contained
sensitive medical information and pertained to an ongoing
criminal investigation is a case of the Sheriff acting both
as a victim and the investigator pursuing charges, according
to court pleadings filed by Mr. Muñoz's attorney.
