84 million ‘trusted’ to access U.S. though Security, Prosperity Partnership

In a further indication that the “North American Union” agenda is quietly proceeding under what remains of the Security and Prosperity Partnership initiative in the Obama administration, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano signed, with little fanfare, an agreement in Mexico that would extend special “trusted traveler” access to the U.S. to an estimated 84 million Mexicans.

“In Mexico City, Secretary Napolitano and Mexican Ministry of the Interior Secretary José Francisco Blake Mora signed an agreement expressing their intent to develop a Global Entry international trusted traveler pilot program between the United States and Mexico – leveraging the success of the United States’ Global Entry program to facilitate secure, legitimate travel between the two nations,” announced a DHS statement Nov. 30.

In September 2006, WND reported that the Department of Transportation, acting through a Security and Prosperity Partnership “working group,” was preparing to issue North American biometric border passes to Mexican, Canadian and U.S. “trusted travelers,” according to documents released to WND under a Freedom of Information Act request.

Border patrol agent killed in Arizona

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Four people have been arrested in connection with the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent who died this morning after a late-night shootout close to the Mexican border, officials said. At least one other suspect was still on the loose.

The agent, 40-year-old Brian Terry, died this morning in a Tucson hospital after being shot last night. According to various reports, he was trying to catch “bandits” who target illegal immigrants crossing the border. Terry is reportedly the 111th Border Patrol agent to be killed in the line of duty since 1919.

Shortly after the agent was pronounced dead, his union, Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council, released a stinging statement on its website condemning the U.S government.

“This is one more example of the sacrifices made by front-line agents, and it’s a major reason we are continually outraged by activists and self-serving politicians in Washington DC who sell us out with incessant talk about ‘amnesty’ for illegal aliens,” the union said. “While they play games, our country continues to be invaded and Border Patrol agents continue to pay the price. Please don’t let Agent Terry’s death be in vain.” The union urged supporters to contact their elected officials.

CONGRESSMAN POE’S STATEMENT ON DEATH OF U.S. BORDER PATROL AGENT BRIAN A. TERRY

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Published 12/16/2010 – 6:40 a.m. CST

WASHINGTON, DC – In response to the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry Tuesday night along the border of Rio Rico, Arizona, Congressman Ted Poe (TX-02) released the following statement:

“Our Border Patrol agents are under constant daily attack, and it’s from people that are coming into the United States illegally. This tragedy is a grave reminder of the dangers those who guard the border encounter on a daily basis. That is why it is imperative that we secure the violent border. We need more National Guards to help our Border Patrol,” said Poe. “My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Border Patrol Agent, Brian A. Terry.”

Agent Brian A. Terry was shot and killed along the Arizona-Mexico border Tuesday night. His fatal shooting marks the third death this year of Border Patrol agents in the line of duty. Over 108 Border Patrol agents in a 2-month period have been assaulted in the Tucson area, and over one-thousand were assaulted last year alone on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Supreme Court hears arguments over Ariz. immigration law

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

This article refers to the Legal Arizona Workers Act of 2007. Not SB-1070.

(December 8 )
WASHINGTON — The justices of the nation’s high court took a shot today at contentions by the Obama administration and the business community that Arizona cannot punish companies for violating a state immigration law.

Justice Antonin Scalia pointed out that a 1986 federal law taking total control of immigration matters and punishment of errant employers has a specific exemption to allow states to have their own “licensing and similar laws.”

He said the sole penalty that can be imposed by Legal Arizona Workers Act, adopted in 2007, is for a judge to suspend or revoke any and all state licenses of firms found guilty of knowingly hiring undocumented workers. Scalia said that would appear to fit within what Congress intended.

But Carter Phillips, representing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said that misinterprets the federal law.

Advocacy group helps illegal immigrants get tax refunds, even those with bogus social security cards

Monday, December 6th, 2010

DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Friday, November 19th 2010, 4:00 AM

A Manhattan group is helping illegal immigrants recoup unclaimed state tax refunds – even if they used fake Social Security numbers to work.

The Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project got back thousands for a dozen undocumented New Yorkers who overpaid.

One bodega worker from Jackson Heights had been paying taxes since 2002 but never got a refund – until the group helped him get back $670 from his 2008 return.

“It really helped – we have two young kids,” said his wife, who says they pay taxes because “it’s the right thing to do.”

Mexico Asks U.S. To Stop Deporting Serious Criminals

Monday, November 29th, 2010

In a flabbergasting request, a coalition of Mexican lawmakers has asked the United States to stop deporting illegal immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes in American courts.

The preposterous demand was made at a recent southern California conference in which the mayors of four Mexican cities that border the U.S. gathered to discuss cross-border issues. The only American mayor who attended the biannual event was San Diego’s Jerry Sanders, evidently because his city hosted it this year at a fancy downtown hotel.

Seems fair.

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

There is currently a petition drive to Secure the Border or Relocate ALL Congressional Offices There! A group from Arlington, Virginia known as Rally Congress started the petition drive and challenges Congress members to secure the border between the United States and Mexico or to move their offices along the troubled border.

The petition reads, in part:

If you sincerely agree with Secretary Napolitano and President Obama that “the border is secure” then you must immediately relocate all federal offices for all members of Congress (House, Senate, Supreme Court, and all Staffers) from the District of Columbia to the border in Arizona, California, or Texas. Relocation of our federal offices may finally provide the necessary incentive to secure our borders – sense the illegal drug trade, illegal immigrant population, murders, rapes, and other illegal activities have not.

You can sign the petition which generates an email to your members of Congress.

Arizona replaces controversial signs warning residents of illegal drug activity

Friday, November 5th, 2010

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu pointed out that; “We are three counties deep. How is it that you see pictures (BLM signs) like these? How is that okay?”

Arizona signs confirming that drug and human smuggling activity was taking place well inside the Arizona border have received a face lift and now offer campers and hikers different information when they travel to the Arizona public land regions.

The new sign now reads, “Visitor Information Update- active federal law enforcement patrol area, clean-up and restoration crews at work, contact BLM rangers for current area status.” In smaller print in the lower left-hand side of the sign provides the Bureau of Land Management district office phone number and encourages residents to call 911 for emergency.

The tamer BLM signs sparked speculation as to why Arizona’s Bureau of Land Management decided to make the change. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio put it in plain and simple language; “They were embarrassed.”

It should be clarified that Arizona does not have a “Bureau of Land Management.” The Bureau of Land Management is a federal government agency and the signs are on what is called federal land. The Obama administration changed the signs.

Plug the Border Crime Leak, Recall the Arizona Rangers

Friday, November 5th, 2010

The public has been told that the illegal immigrants, human/drug smugglers and potential terrorists crossing our southern border are out-of-control. Despite the federal government increasing the number of U.S. Customs/Border Patrol agents the fear generated by violent armed encounters between these agencies and human/drug smugglers has reached a crescendo thanks in part to the FOX NEWS story, “Giving Part of U.S. to Mexico”.

The simple fact is if you cannot control who or what comes across the border then it is out-of-control. Something must be done to curtail the violence caused by our lax border. A solution to a similar violent border problem was put into place by the 1901 formation of the Arizona Rangers.

Ariz. gov disappointed by refusal to take response

Saturday, October 16th, 2010

The AP is reporting that the 9th Circuit Court is not allowing Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to respond to a legal brief filed my Mexico and other Latin American countries. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru joined Mexico’s brief.

Governor Brewer complains that the legal brief from Mexico amounts to international meddling in a dispute between the federal government and the State of Arizona.

This development should make anyone disgusted allowing a foreign power preference over citizens of the United States.

Governor Brewer Responds To Mexico’s Amicus Brief Challenging S.B. 1070

GOVMONITOR, October 14

Today I filed my response to the amicus brief that Mexico, with ten other foreign countries, filed in support of the U.S. Justice Department’s lawsuit challenging S.B. 1070.

Mexico’s brief is nothing more than a political statement expressing its desire for lax enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.

Chandler police arrest man in stabbing, decapitation

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

Chandler police are investigating the bizarre case of a man who was stabbed, decapitated and left in a pool of blood in a central city apartment.

One man has been arrested and police are seeking three more suspects in what may the city’s first beheading.

“We don’t go to many cases where the victim has been decapitated,” said Chandler Police Det. Frank Mendoza.

The man police arrested in the case, Crisantos Moroyoqui, 36, is an undocumented immigrant who lived across the way from the murder scene. He rented a bed for $100 a month in a small apartment shared by five other day laborers. He had lived there three months, his roommates said Monday.
