Rant #2: Another Arrest in NJ: Immigration Status is "Undetermined"
Who in the hell hired and trained these people in ICE and the Newark cops? Who are the people who erected the bureaucratic walls that is keeping our men on the street from sharing valid law enforcement information. That would be a start. They should all be gone--like yesterday.
Just think about it: in a post 9/11 world--where 4 of the 19 hijackers on that day could have been identified as hostiles in advance--if only our federal, state, and local agencies been sharing information instead of playing 18th century "power games", four kids with their entire lives ahead of them would still be alive. And who knows how many other of thousands of deaths from drunk drivers, robberies, rapes, murders. Why not just open the prisons and let everyone go free? What's the difference? I know a lot of this "wall building" happened during the Clinton years--but how in the world could even they have allowed us to get to a place where we cannot do anything to stop serial killers because we are might hurt some politician's feelings. or ruffle some pencil-pushing Democrat bureaucrat's feathers? Or maybe the local chapter of La Raza. George Tenet?? even the NY Times is portraying the Clinton appointee as an incompetent boob at the CIA; but the fact that President Bush gave him the Medal of Freedom is a JOKE--it adds insult to injury.
But it goes further. How can this still be happening--5 years after 9/11??? What is so sacrosanct about these government "stovepipes" that they are more important than innocent kids on a playground? And now they try to tell us that they don't know this latest guy's status?? Yeah right.... And what I don't know is how the hell they ever got their jobs in the first place.
And what about the sick Judges that want to keep cities from enforcing anti-immigraion laws. The latest bozo was also a Cllintonista. There is a special place in hell for these people.
Yes friends, perhaps I need to be medicated--two rants in one night, who would have thunk it? Well, yes. And the word "boiling over" is apt at the moment. Because this is dispicible, unconscionable, and unforgiveable. And the worst of it is: the Dems want to keep "Sanctuary Cities" in place. These judges. Ted Kennedy. Reconquistas on parade. In what universe is not enforcing our immigration laws NOT a good thing for America's national security? Better get Stephen Hawking on that one, because it certainly can't be a part of the universe I am sitting in.
And the sick irony is: this is all so transparent--obviously with all the bad pub they have already rightfully gotten, these prima donnas just don't want to admit that this murderer suspect too is an illegal--who knows maybe they already had him in custody before too...
One thing is certain: The mighty ICE and Newark's finest are a big 0 for 3, and I am not even certain we have seen the bottom of the batting order yet... The entire NJ ICE office should be relieved of duty on the spot, as should every single link in the chain that did not make this connection before these crimes occurred. An example has to be set somewhere--it might as well be here, in the heart of Democrat blue-state darkness.
I am not sure what makes me madder: the fact that the third suspect is illegal too--or the fact that ICE can't bring itself to admit that fact even when they know. But it really is moot, because folks, we simply cannot continue to stand for this. It starts with us--and we have got to raise hell until someone in a position of authority gets their head out of the sand.
How about this for starters: take Newark, New York, San Francisco, Houston, and other Democrat-mandated "Sanctuary Cities" and stick them where the sun doesn't shine. If ever there was a need for a guy like Patton to come in and kick major ass, this would be it. Fire ICE supervisors en masse and hire a new bunch who gives a damn about our security. And any cop who does not inquire or share an illegal's status becomes fodder for termination too. It is time for a housecleaning, folks.
My apologies about all this anger tonight--I guess I have just really had it, and I am way beyond disgust and contempt at this point. Maybe sleep will help.
But in Iraq when the present Generals weren't getting it done, Bush kept replacing them until we had the right one. Lincoln did the same thing in the Civil War--until he found take no prisoners Sherman. Well guess what: our law enforcement and Immigration Services are NOT getting the job done, and that fact does not have one damn thing to do with Bush not getting his immigration bill--it has to do with the lack of spine, backbone, and will on the part of our elected leaders. As mentioned earlier, the LAWS are already on the books. Except our police are seemingly too petrified of our bought and paid for Democrat hack mayors to do their jobs. And ICE doesn't want to share what it knows either.
Sorry but this problem needs a BIG jump start at a federal level: I like President Bush, I am with him on most issues--but this is beyond incompetence. It is high time that the Bush Administration paid as much attention to the atrocious state of Immigration enforcement in our own country. And what these people don't get is that if we don't do something about this quick, we may not have a country to secure.
Somebody out there--just help us out, please.... We really, really need it.

Undocumented Felons: the Outrage that keeps on Giving
And while we are on the subject, just when in the hell did the "rule" kick in that Cities, States and Federal Government should care more about political correctness than it does about protecting the citizens who gave them their jobs. Here's a news flash--this only pisses the people off more, and makes them want to change leadership sooner rather than later; especially when its end result is allowing rapists and serial killers to go about their foul deeds undetected.
In short, here's a clue for the seemingly clueless: how about enforcing the freaking laws??? I really could give a damn if it breaks up some "extended family" if a murderer goes away for a few years--or better yet, if he never gets the chance to murder in the first place--because he's illegally in the country. How about doing your freaking jobs and sharing information--even if it may not be popular with the Hispanic community or on-the-take Democrat politicians? The law is the law, right? I mean, when I was in Civics in High School--the law wasn't about "constituencies", it was about doing the right thing--has something changed? And--if we aren't going to enforce laws that are on the books out of some guilt-ridden PC "look the other way" Sanctuary pile of shit, then why have the freaking laws in the first place?? Just curious...
But don't listen to me; let the master tell it:
Read the whole thing. And try to say calm..."They" are Miss Hightower, Dashon Harvey and Terrance Aeriel, three young citizens of Newark, New Jersey, lined up against a schoolyard wall, forced to kneel and then shot in the head.
Miss Ali poses an interesting question. No one can say why they "had" to die, but it ought to be possible to advance theories as to what factors make violent death in Newark a more-likely proposition than it should be. That's usually what happens when lurid cases make national headlines: When Matthew Shepard was beaten and hung on a fence in Wyoming, Frank Rich wrote in the New York Times that it was merely the latest stage in a "war" against homosexuals loosed by the forces of intolerance. Mr. Shepard's murder was dramatized in plays and movies and innumerable songs by Melissa Etheridge, Elton John, Peter, Paul and Mary, etc. The fact that this vile crucifixion was a grisly one-off and that American gays have never been less at risk from getting bashed did not deter pundits and politicians and lobby groups galore from arguing that this freak case demonstrated the need for special legislation.
By contrast, there's been a succession of prominent stories with one common feature that the very same pundits, politicians and lobby groups have a curious reluctance to go anywhere near. In a New York Times report headlined "Sorrow And Anger As Newark Buries Slain Youth," the limpidly tasteful Times prose prioritized "sorrow" over "anger," and offered only the following reference to the perpetrators: "The authorities have said robbery appeared to be the motive. Three suspects – two 15-year-olds and a 28-year-old construction worker from Peru – have been arrested."
So, this Peruvian guy was here on a green card? Or did he apply for a temporary construction-work visa from the U.S. Embassy in Lima?
Not exactly. Jose Carranza is an "undocumented" immigrant. His criminal career did not begin with the triple murder he's alleged to have committed, nor with the barroom assault from earlier this year, nor with the 31 counts of aggravated sexual assault relating to the rape of a 5-year-old child, for which Mr. Carranza had been released on bail. (His $50,000 bail on the assault charge and $150,000 bail on the child-rape charges have now been revoked.) No, Mr. Carranza's criminal career in the United States began when he decided to live in this country unlawfully.
Jose Carranza isn't exactly a member of an exclusive club. Violent crime committed by fine upstanding members of the Undocumented-American community is now a routine feature of American life. But who cares? In 2002, as the "Washington Sniper" piled up his body count, "experts" lined up to tell the media that he was most likely an "angry white male," a "macho hunter" or an "icy loner." When the icy loner turned out to be a black Muslim named Muhammad accompanied by an illegal immigrant from Jamaica, the only angry white males around were the lads in America's newsrooms who were noticeably reluctant to abandon their thesis: Early editions of the New York Times speculated that Muhammad and John Lee Malvo were being sought for "possible ties to 'skinhead militia' groups," which seemed a somewhat improbable alliance given the size of Mr. Muhammad's hair in the only available mug shot. As for his illegal sidekick, Malvo was detained and released by the INS in breach of their own procedures.
America has a high murder rate: Murdering people is definitely one of the jobs Americans can do. But that's what ties young Malvo to Jose Carranza: He's just another killer let loose in this country to kill Americans by the bureaucracy's boundless sensitivity toward the "undocumented." Will the Newark murders change anything? Will there be an Ioefemi Hightower Act of Congress like the Matthew Shepard Act passed by the House of Representatives? No. Three thousand people died Sept. 11, 2001, in an act of murder facilitated by the illegal-immigration support structures in this country, and, if that didn't rouse Americans to action, another trio of victims seems unlikely to tip the scales. As Michelle Malkin documented in her book "Invasion," four of the killers boarded the plane with photo ID obtained through the "undocumented worker" network at the 7-Eleven in Falls Church, Va. That's to say, officialdom's tolerance of the illegal immigration shadow-state enabled 9/11. And what did we do? Not only did we not shut it down, we enshrined the shadow-state's charade as part of the new tough post-slaughter security procedures.
