Lawmakers are weighing in and calling for Newsom's resignation as well as pundits, media and opinion editorials declaring that they believe that Newsom as well as other officials should be held legally responsible for being complicit in the death of the Bologna father and sons.http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree.blogspot.com/2008/07/san-francisco-sanctuary-city-shielded.htmlNews that SHOULD be presented by all the major, TV and radio networks, the BEATING DEATH OF A TWO-YEAR OLD GIRL BY HER OWN GRANDFATHER, is given in only 116 words on the website of a local, TV station in Oklahoma City. Now whyyyy would midstream media “journalists” like Nancy Grace, Wolf Blitzer and Katie Couric not pick up this story? That’s right, you guessed it, it’s an ILLEGAL ALIEN who murdered the little girl. And telling the truth about illegal aliens to the American people is bad for Big Business and Democrats. And besides, it’s “racist” to speak honestly about “undocumented immigrants”. The killer, ILLEGAL ALIEN from Guatemala, Herman Marzelo Vail Bailon, is a 32-year old GRANDFATHER, who just couldn’t keep his hands off the little girl. Police detained the ILLEGAL ALIEN SCUMBAG for questioning on Saturday after they were called to an Oklahoma City motel room where employees had been asked to help a choking toddler. But police say the presence of blood in the room indicated there was something more sinister happening. Police arrested the ALIEN PUKE on a child abuse complaint. Doctors then noticed bruising on Liliana’s body and further examination revealed the girl’s skull had been fractured and that she had suffered other injuries. AMERICA, DON’T EXPECT TO EVER HEAR ABOUT THIS AGAIN. In Michigan, ILLEGAL ALIEN, Rodrigo Delacruz-Encarnacion, killed 52-year old, William O’Brien, when the unlicensed, illegal alien with fake ID turned into the path of O’Brien, causing O’Brien’s Harley-Davidson, motorcycle to smash into the invader’s van. The illegal alien then tried to escape, forcing witnesses to detain the killer until police arrived. The denverpost says, “Driver identified in I-70 crash”, when what they SHOULD be saying is. “DRUNK ILLEGAL ALIEN KILLS HER OWN FRIEND”. A man was pronounced dead Friday night after being ejected from a sport utility vehicle carrying eight people involved in an alcohol-related crash off of Interstate 70 in Eagle County, according to the Colorado State Patrol. Jose De Jesus Trinidad-Esparza, 19, was pronounced dead at the scene. It is unknown where Trinidad-Esparza resides, the patrol reported. The driver has been identified as Lenora Hernandez, 20, of Avon, Colo. She faces numerous charges, including vehicular homicide, careless driving causing bodily injuries, driving under the influence and no driver’s license. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents found that Hernandez was an illegal alien, according to the patrol.

Police detained Herman Marzelo Vail Bailon for questioning on Saturday after they were called to an Oklahoma City motel room where employees had been asked to help a choking toddler. But police say the presence of blood in the room indicated there was something more sinister happening. Police arrested Bailon on a child abuse complaint. Doctors then noticed bruising on Liliana’s body and further examination revealed the girl’s skull had been fractured and that she had suffered other injuries. Liliana died on Sunday. Federal immigration officials later said that Bailon, a native of Guatemala, is illegally in the United States. Illegal immigrant charged in fatal motorcycle crash in Holland blog.mlive.com HOLLAND (Michigan)– An illegal immigrant who allegedly caused a fatal crash by turning in front of a motorcyclist was charged Thursday with trying to leave the scene of the deadly collision. Rodrigo Delacruz-Encarnacion, 25, is jailed on a $100,000 bond following his arraignment in Holland District Court on the felony, which is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Police say Delacruz-Encarnacion is responsible for killing William O’Brien, 52, of Holland in an 8 p.m. Wednesday crash. O’Brien was driving his 1996 Harley-Davidson south on Butternut Drive when the suspect’s minivan turned into the path of his motorcycle. O’Brien could not avoid the crash, and struck the passenger side of the van. He died at the scene. His family declined to comment on the accident. Ottawa County sheriff’s Lt. Steve Kempker said witnesses had to detain Delacruz-Encarnacion at the scene of the crash until police arrived. He was arrested and taken to the Ottawa County Jail. The suspect has been in the country illegally since the spring and has been working odd jobs and living in migrant camps, police said. He allegedly had fraudulent identification when he was arrested. Authorities believe Delacruz-Encarnacion is a risk for fleeing the area since he has no ties to Holland. Driver identified in I-70 crash denverpost.com A man was pronounced dead Friday night after being ejected from a sport utility vehicle carrying eight people involved in an alcohol-related crash off of Interstate 70 in Eagle County, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

The driver has been identified as Lenora Hernandez, 20, of Avon, Colo. She faces numerous charges, including vehicular homicide, careless driving causing bodily injuries, driving under the influence and no driver’s license. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents found that Hernandez was an illegal alien, according to the patrol. The patrol reported that none of the passengers had ID on them. At approximately 11:50 p.m Friday, Hernandez lost control of a 1999 Ford Expedition heading westbound on I-70 and ran off the right side of the road. The vehicle rolled over two full times, ejecting Trinidad-Esparza. He was not wearing a seatbelt. The seven survivors suffered minor to moderate injuries and were treated and released from Vail Valley Medical Center. One of the passengers, Karen Rosales, 22, of Edwards, Colo., was found to have a $5,000 arrest warrant for assault and weapons charges, according to the patrol. No other vehicles were reported to be involved. http://reportanddeport.wordpress.com/2008/07/24/illegal-aliens-kill-2yo-girl-kill-motorcycle-rider-eject-and-kill-friend/ TOMBSTONE — A Department of Public Safety officer was assaulted by an illegal immigrant following a traffic stop Thursday, the agency said Friday. The vehicle, which had been pulled over for unsafe lane use, stopped and then sped away as the officer approached the vehicle, stopping in a dirt pullout, according to the DPS. The driver, also an illegal immigrant, tried to run, then the officer tried to restrain him, at which time the officer was attacked by a passenger who attempted to choke him. After the officer broke free, the men fled. Six other illegal immigrants were in the vehicle and held at gunpoint by theAs the Illegal Immigration issue has taken a back-burner in this years Presidential election, the effects of open borders and a broken immigration system still linger on the American people. Just the other day, Tony Bologna and his two sons were shot to death after their car came close to another car driven by illegal alien felon Edwin Ramos. Ramos, 21, an illegal alien from El Salvador, simply pulled out his gun and killed these men in cold blood. Just last March, San Francisco police arrested Ramos on a gun charge and already had two other felony convictions before that. However, due to San Francisco’s “sanctuary city” policy, the city officials did not alert Homeland Security about Ramos. According to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, “We are standing up to say to all of our residents, we don’t care what your status is in terms of legal certification.” Since the shooting, Newsom has rescinded part of the sanctuary policy, but it is far too late for the Bologna family. How many times does this have to happen to American families? How many people have to suffer for the Federal government to step in and secure our borders? Deptford woman killed, illegal driver held on DWI, death by auto charges by South Jersey News Online Friday July 25, 2008, 11:11 AM FRANKLIN TWP. -- A 51-year-old Deptford Township woman died Thursday from injuries she received when her car was hit by an illegal immigrant who was driving drunk and with no license, police said. The crash occurred at about 5:35 p.m. Mijail L. Hernandes, 24, of Lake Worth, Fla., was driving a 2000 Chevrolet Suburban west on Route 40 and allegedly failed to stop at a red lght, police said. The Suburban hit a 2008 Hyundai Tucson driven by Yvonne M. Pennewell, which was traveling south on Main Road, Route 555, said police. The Hyundai was forced off the Hyundai. Pennewell and her passenger, Crystal D. Ashmore, 25, of Vineland, had to be freed from the car by rescue crews. Both women were airlifted to Cooper Medical Center in Camden. Pennewell died at Cooper.

Milan Azar, Lopez-Navor’s lawyer, said the case still haunts him. “In all my years as a lawyer, very few cases really stick with me but this one does. It was very sad.” Kevin Aucoin, chief legal counsel for DCYF, acknowledged that it is an emotionally wrenching case. “It certainly is a tragic case. “But this is a case where DCYF’s paramount concern had to do with the safety of the children, Alexis and Victoria,” said Aucoin.An illegal immigrant charged with killing two people in a South Richmond car crash now faces a $2.3 million wrongful-death suit filed by the family of one of the victims. The administrators of the estate of Kathryn L. Jones, who was fatally injured in the May 24 wreck, also has named as a defendant the construction company for which Carmen Alejandro Garcia-Hernandez was employed. Garcia-Hernandez was driving a pickup truck registered to R.J. Biringer Construction Co. Inc., whose owner, Ronald J. Biringer, is under federal indictment for transporting illegal immigrants. Richmond police allege that Garcia-Hernandez was driving the truck when it ran off Snead Road and hit a parked car that spun around and fatally injured two people standing next to it, Jones, 44, and Joseph Owens, 40, of Alberta in Brunswick County. Jones, a native of South Hill and the mother of two children, lived in the neighborhood were the crash occurred and was attending a house-warming party when she was struck, said Charles H. Cuthbert Jr., her attorney. She had been employed several years as a security guard for Wackenhut Corp., he said. After the crash, police said Garcia-Hernandez, 28, tried to flee the scene on foot, but witnesses detained him until officers arrived. He was indicted June 9 on two counts of aggravated involuntary manslaughter, driving while intoxicated and felony hit-and-run driving. According to the lawsuit, Garcia-Hernandez had a blood-alcohol level of 0.15, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08. His employer, Ronald Biringer, was indicted March 19 by a federal grand jury in Richmond on a single count of transporting illegal immigrants to Fort Lee. He was arrested a day later and released on bond.http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/news.apx.-content-articles-RTD-2008-07-18-0234.html The governor cited the recent arrest in Providence of Marco Riz, an illegal immigrant arrested several times before he allegedly kidnapped and raped a Warwick woman, as an example of the need for his executive order. Carcieri’s order requires law enforcement and correctional officers to work closely with immigration officials to identify illegal immigrants. “Illegal immigration is a huge issue in our state and around the country,” Carcieri told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. “This case just epitomized that and, unfortunately, the City of Providence, which is our capital city, has not climbed on board. They are in the dark ages, if you will.”http://www.projo.com/news/content/Carcieri_oreilly_07-08-08_0IAPJDR_v17.3f5d00d.html KENANSVILLE — Two men targeted through investigations into methamphetamine sales in Duplin County are now in custody after separate searches at their homes collectively yielded nearly a kilogram of methamphetamine, $30,000 in cash and seven firearms. One of the men, Benito Rayo Zavala of 3262 Hwy. 111/903, Albertson, is facing a long list of felony charges at the county level, while federal charges are pending against Ernesto Rayo Morales of 126 L.G. Westbrook Lane, Albertson. The men’s ages have not been confirmed by local authorities. Morales is an illegal immigrant and Zavala is also believed to be in the country illegally, Duplin County Sheriff Blake Wallace said in a recent press conference. The sheriff noted that both arrests were made as a result of probes by the multi-agency Duplin County Drug Enforcement Task Force, which executed search warrants at separate homes in the Albertson area earlier this month. Zavala was arrested on July 7 in the more recent case, when an investigation into the possible manufacturing and selling of methamphetamine culminated in a search of Zavala’s home. http://www.clintonnc.com/articles/2008/07/26/news/doc488a9ad2823d0605274558.txt

Thousands rally in May Day effort for immigration reform http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080502/ap_on_re_us/immigration_protests;_ylt=AgrHtA.A0AdzbAYIuRwXcptvzwcF CHICAGO - Thousands of chanting, flag-waving activists rallied in cities across the country Thursday, attempting to reinvigorate calls for immigration reform in a presidential election year in which the economy has taken center stage. ADVERTISEMENT From Washington to Miami to Los Angeles, activists demanded citizenship opportunities for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and an end to raids and deportations. "We come here to fight for legalization. We're people. We have rights," said Eric Molina, an undocumented factory worker who immigrated to Zion, Ill., from Mexico. Molina, his sister and his 13-year-old daughter Erika, a U.S. citizen, were among about 15,000 people who rallied in Chicago in one of the largest demonstrations of the day. Turnout has fallen sharply since the first nationwide rallies in 2006, when more than 1 million people — at least 400,000 in Chicago alone — clogged streets and brought downtown traffic to a standstill. Activists say this year's efforts are focused less on protests and more on voter registration and setting an agenda for the next president. Some said participation likely was lower because many immigrants increasingly fear deportation. Margot Veranes, a volunteer organizer in Tucson, Ariz., — where 12,000 took to the streets last year but early estimates Thursday put the crowd at about 500 — blamed the turnout on aggressive enforcement by Border Patrol and police. "People have been stopped and deported in the last week. This is a community living in fear," said Veranes, a researcher for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades. "You never know when you're going to be stopped by Border Patrol and now the police." But she said that's also why people were marching. "We're marching to end the raids and the deportations, but we're also marching for health care and education and good jobs," she said. Steamy downtown Houston saw between 300 and 400 marchers, including Victor Ibarra, 38, who said he entered the U.S. illegally from Mexico 15 years ago and remains undocumented although he's tried to attain legal status for the past seven years. "I'm here because we need immigration reform immediately," Ibarra said, wearing handcuffs and chains. "We need to be able to travel and be free." In Washington, immigrant rights groups and social justice organizations were demanding that Prince William County, in northern Virginia, rescind its anti-illegal immigration measure. They also called for an end to raids and deportations and for establishment of worker centers in Washington, Maryland and Virginia. Activists also asked the Republican and Democratic national committees to have their presidential candidates enact immigration reform. A crowd of about 1,000 gathered on the steps of the Oregon Capitol in Salem to call for changes in immigration and workplace laws within the first 100 days of the next congressional session. Many demanded that Oregon reverse a decision, imposed by the Legislature in February, to require proof of legal residence to get a driver's license. Hugo Orozzo, a 17-year-old high school senior, was among hundreds who marched through the streets of southwest Detroit. He was born in the U.S., but his father was born in Mexico and some other family members are originally from Mexico. "It is going to help my family and friends," Orozzo said of the effort. He carried a preprinted sign that read: "Stop raids and deportations that separate families!" in both English and Spanish. In Miami, 75 people marched to the regional immigration offices from the Little Haiti neighborhood. Among them was Elvira Carbajal, who came from Mexico more than a decade ago and is a U.S. citizen but said many of her family members are not. "They are going to grow up with this anger of the government for the loss of their parents, parents who were simply trying to give them a better life," she said. In San Francisco, protesters Marta Acuchi and her husband Jose, from Michoacan, Mexico, closed their child daycare center to march with about 400 others. "We need to fix the legal situation of immigrants," she said. "Even if it's not this year legislators are seeing we're still here, we're still marching, we're still knocking on their door." And in Milwaukee, factory worker Miguel Tesillos, 29, was among hundreds who lined sidewalks waiting for the march to begin. "Our people, we pay taxes, we pay the same as a citizen," said Tesillos, who has a Green Card. "Maybe the new president can see this point, and do something for us." But activists say they know it will be a challenge to push their issues to the political forefront. Immigration reform did not resonate with voters in primary elections who overwhelmingly listed the economy as their top concern. Immigration legislation has stalled and been defeated in the Senate, and presidential candidates have not extensively addressed the issues. Democratic presidential rivals Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton supported a 2006 bill, sponsored by Republican candidate John McCain, that offered illegal immigrants legal status on conditions such as learning English. All three also have supported a border fence. In Chicago, 17-year-old Celeste Rodarte marched with a group of her friends from the city's West Side. She said her parents came to the United States more than 20 years ago and became citizens last year. "I know a lot of people who don't have papers and I want to help them out," Rodarte said. Seventh-grader Vicente Campos of Milwaukee was granted an excused absence from school to attend the march. He said he was concerned by stories of immigration officials separating parents and children. "Immigrants come here to support their families in Mexico," said Campos, 13. "They're not all here to do crimes." ___

Here’s the story this time. what do you thin...

Posted on Sun, Aug. 27, 2006email thisprint this Pa. soldiers return from border patrol By Barbara Barrett CDT Washington correspondent LOS ALGODONES, Mexico -- Not five minutes after the boatload of migrants slipped across the Colorado River at dusk, the "dogcatchers" arrived. First, U.S. Border Patrol trucks -- the ones migrants call dogcatchers -- tore down a dirt road and cut their headlights. Then a helicopter dipped and circled with deafening blades, its spotlights probing across the water and the mountainside, again and again and again. On the Mexican side, above the town of Los Algodones, Francisco Lopez watched and listened. For a month, he said, he has been waiting. Three times he almost crossed. "They're here day and night," said Lopez, 42, who traveled from the state of Michoacán, Mexico, hoping to reach New York. The show of force now includes about 6,000 National Guard troops. Almost 70 soldiers from Pennsylvania returned this month after two weeks in the Arizona desert. There, they set up observation points on a levee within sight of the border. They used binoculars and night vision goggles to spot movement. They helped catch at least 10 migrants. "It made you think, 'Yeah, you're here helping people out,'" said Capt. Brad Pierson, a State College resident and commander of the 28th Military Police Company, based in Johnstown and Greensburg. The Pennsylvanians saw tragedy among their own, too. Spc. Kirsten Fike, 36, of Warren, collapsed in her first hours working in the 104-degree heat. She died a day later at a Yuma, Ariz., hospital. An autopsy on the cause of her death was inconclusive. The deployment of guard troops is part of President Bush's Operation Jump Start, a project meant to discourage migrants from risking the dash into the United States. It's having results: The increased security is pushing migrants into the harsh desert and mountains, forcing more to use smugglers and leading those who are caught to make repeated attempts that sap their strength and savings each time. Many walk for days with little food or water. In July, an 11-year-old girl was found in cardiac arrest on a 108-degree day in the remote Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation. The girl, Olivia Nogueda, wearing pink sneakers and traveling with her older sister, was declared dead at the reservation hospital. In the following week, in two counties in eastern Arizona, seven other migrants died, including two women and a 12-year-old boy. Last year, as the Border Patrol increased enforcement around urban areas, more than 460 migrants died trying to cross the border, nearly half in Arizona. "The more difficult you make it for people to cross, the more people will die," said Joseph Nevins, spokesman for Tucson-based No More Deaths, a coalition of humanitarian border groups. In eastern Arizona, Pima County medical examiner Bruce Parks holds onto the bodies. He has more than 200 dating back to 2004. "It's obviously a terrible tragedy for relatively young people to be dying under these circumstances," Parks said, hours after an autopsy on 11-year-old Olivia. "This may be the year we see a downturn. It would be nice." In Pennsylvania, Pierson occasionally deals with illegal immigrants in his work as a state trooper. He said he knows little about the politics of immigration, but standing guard in Arizona made him wonder what drives migrants to take such risks. "Obviously they're crossing for a reason," Pierson said. "To me, it seems dangerous. They're crossing in the heat, in the desert. I think, how bad can it be in Mexico to even go through this, take these chances?" Word spread quickly throughout Mexico after Bush made his announcement this spring. "I read the newspapers," said Hector Encinas, 29, who lives in the Mexican town of San Luis Rio Colorado, just south of San Luis, Ariz. "It's more hard right now," said Encinas, standing near an opening in the border wall. "They got a fence, more soldiers, more Border Patrol." Guadalupe Murrieta, 45, washing dishes in her home nearby, said she never liked the migrants who wander through at night, making her fearful for her children and grandchildren. Now, she said, it's quieter. What sends migrants into the distance are the images of the National Guard standing watch. In San Luis, the Pennsylvania soldiers worked under camouflage nets, setting up observation points every half-mile on a levee near the Colorado River, above stretches of dirt and fields of tall, swaying grasses. It was maybe the third day on watch for the Pennsylvanians when, about 3 a.m., one of Pierson's soldiers spotted movement at the levee. Four people -- three women and a man -- had crawled through the grasses and were trying to dash across the levee and into a nearby neighborhood. The troops called Border Patrol. All four migrants were caught. A few nights later, another soldier spotted six more. "It's nice to see the results, to see that you're making a difference," Pierson said. "It was good for morale." Mostly, Pierson thinks the Pennsylvanians were a deterrent, frightening migrants from even making the attempt. In Mexico, some residents aren't so sure. Migrants pass through the cotton and alfalfa fields around Rebeca Moreno's store near Los Algodones, a quarter-mile from the Colorado River, ignoring the signs warning "Peligroso!" -- danger. Moreno walked though the back of her store to an open window. Pointing across the cotton field, she said in Spanish: There is the river. The migrants try to swim across. They're caught, sent home and try again. She pointed to a spot in the road. A man died right there, she said. On the dirt road in San Luis Rio Colorado, behind the border wall, men were checking their chances recently as evening drew near. They lit trash fires, hoping to obscure the heat of their bodies. One man shinnied up a wire to peek above the wall toward the levee; a few others pretended to fish in the canal. Nearby stood Ricardo Mann, 47, the heat of the flames at his back, considering the soldiers standing watch. "It's like another wall," Mann said. "A human wall."
