Illegal alien wars -my own perpective- part 3

I have been in this battle against illegal immigration since before 2000. I date my anti-illegal stance to the great late George Putnam, the legendary patriotic journalist who aired 2 hrs during lunch on AM 870 in late 90's. He was my inspiration and nourishment in my conversion to a decided anti-illegel stance.

One of George's frequent guests was a fiery, outspoken LA South- Central resident named Terry Anderson who just recently passed away, a sad loss for the anti-illegal immigation movement. Terry would rage against the effects of the illegal alien inundation upon South Central LA in no uncertain terms, how illegals were driving African-Americans out of the trades by lowering wages, and the complete trashing of SCentral by the invading illegals.

I used to listen regularly to George Putman weekdays on my car radio while i was doing my delivery duties in West LA in late 90's. He had very few listeners back then, as no one took illegal immigration very seriously during those generally prosperous pre-2000 years, and it was mostly an LA problem back then. George was actually a few years ahead of the curve and at a very advanced age(he was in his 80''s).
Note that entire USA did not really get on the anti-illegal bandwagon until the first recession of 2001-2003, and the anti-illegal immigration movement really picked up speed/ gained ground during this period. The influential John & Ken AM 640 talk radio show(2-7 weekdays), were among those who took up the cudgel.
( I sent them a dozen or so faxes/letters in 2003 to give them a prod).

George Putman passed away at age 94 on Sept 12, 2008, near his Chino hills ranch home. Very few in MSM took notice of the passing away of this legendary influential TV/radio journalist & newscaster, as he had become very conservative in his views in his later years, pretty much a reactionary, though he was in fact a lifelong Democrat. But If he was still alive today he would be a combative spokesman against the illegal invasion, would be in the thick of the battle, and his outspoken fiery, uncompromising stance combined with his weighty experience in world/US affairs would add an enormous asset to the anti-illegal-immigrant movement.

US Dept of Mis-Justice pushes minority rights even if it has to skirt a few laws

Who Will Investigate the Investigators? - WSJ.com

More mischief in our U.S. justice dept, the most radicalized leftist, corrupt dept in the Obama adm. A dept determined to advance minority rights even if it has to skirt a few laws or impede/drop civil rights violations, ignore voter intimidation tactics, or inflate voter rolls: all in the name of advancing certain aggrieved minority groups.

Here's the latest mischief from our so-called Dept of Justice. All direct quotes are from the article written by John Fund of Wall Street Journal:

"Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli, an Obama appointee, overruled a unanimous recommendation by six career Justice attorneys for continued prosecution of members of the New Black Panther Party on charges of voter intimidation in an incident I detailed here yesterday. But

Mr. Adams leveled an even more explosive charge beyond the Panther case. He testified that last year Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes made a jaw-dropping announcement to attorneys in Justice's Voting Rights section. She said she would not support any enforcement of a key section of the federal "Motor Voter" law -- Section 8, which requires states to periodically purge their voter rolls of dead people, felons, illegal voters and those who have moved out of state."....

"Not coincidally,Obama's Justice dept saw fit to dismiss the case in March 2009. Curiously, only a month earlier, Ms. Carnahan had announced her Senate candidacy. Missouri has a long and documented history of voter fraud in Democratic-leaning cities such as St. Louis and Kansas City. Ms. Carnahan may now stand to benefit from voter fraud facilitated by the improperly kept voter rolls that she herself allowed to continue."

"
"According to Mr. Adams, Justice lawyers were told by Ms. Fernandes: "We're not interested in those kind of cases. What do they have to do with helping increase minority access and turnout? We want to increase access to the ballot, not limit it.

"If true, Ms. Fernandes was endorsing a policy of ignoring federal law and encouraging potential voter fraud. Ms. Fernandes was unavailable for comment yesterday, but the Justice Department has issued a statement accusing Mr. Adams of "distorting facts" in general and having a political agenda."

So we have a US Dept of Justice which is aggressively pushing minority rights, even if it means inflating Missouri voter rolls via dead people, illegals, felons, ect., and aquitting black panther thugs who intimidated voters in Philly.

We already know that Asst Attorney Gen and head of US Justice's Civil Rights commission Thomas E. Perez, a radical pro-illegal attorney, is spearheading the Ariz lawsuit. Now we have this Ms Fernandez , another radical-leftist obama appointee, dismissing/ignoring Missouri voting irregularities.

The U.S. Dept of justice has become the most infiltrated, politicized, agenda-driven, radicalized, far-left U.S. Cabinet dept in the mainly far-left Obama Adm. It's only agenda is to advance the rights of minorities at expense of whites.

A crazy idea on dealing with Arizona border invasion

I have been looking at a Google map of Southern Arizona's border regions, and it seems that the entire western half of Arizona is largely empty open dry desert, and almost entirely enclosed by the Barry Goldwater Air Force Range, Cabeza Prieta Nat wildfife Refuge, Organ Pile Nat Monument,and Papago Indian Reservation. Why don't the US gov just incorporate Cabeza NWR into the BG Air Force Range, and move several AF test sites from CA or Nevada to this threatened region of Arizona. They can also allow US military to have rights of access to the large Papago Indian Reservation for patrolling and military exercises.

All this would entail massive bureaucratic moves involving multiple gov't agencies/
departments and military bureaus,and would be politically impossible with the current leftist Obama administration. It can only be implimented by a Republican president with support of both houses of congress, a good possiblity in 2012. So don't hold your breath that these moves will be implimented anytime soon, if at all. This is only a blueprint/speculation for future actions on the secure borders front. Arizona cannot impliment the moves alone, and currently has little support from the Feds. Obama is a confirmed hard- line leftist and will thwart & block any strong moves toward stronger border security measures.

My overall rationale is why have military tests sites in remote CA and Nevada deserts when Arizona's desert would work just as well. As for the sacrifice of the Cabeza Nat Wildlife Refuge: if the Mex drug smugglers/illegal border crossers are trashing it anyway why keep the refuge designation. The Military can even allow it to remain as a wildlife refuge as they conduct ground/air joint exercises on it, like they do at Camp Pendleton. Organ pipe National monument would remain as is but be surrounded by our military, and perhaps they could even assist the US park service in patrol duties

That way the entire western half of Arizona's southern border becomes essentially one gigantic AF/joint forces exercise/testing range & base. With US military in effect controlling this area and using it for live fire exercises, the drug cartels/illegal border crossers would be unlikely to smuggle/ move thru this region.
That would free up our border agents to patrol and guard the eastern more threatened sector of Arizonas southern borders, which is roughly the area from Tucson all way to the New Mex border, and south of 10 freeway. The US could put up just a minimal fence along the western portion, as no Mex smuggler with any brains would attempt to cross a military live fire area. Just warn the Mex gov't and post signs that if any border crossers attempt a crossing they might be blown up by stray US missles. This would remove the pro-illegal activists and Mex gov from the equation. U.S. Military services do not as a rule allow for tenderness in dealing with trespassers onto military property.

The concentration of entire Arizona border contingent onto the more threatened & vulnerable eastern Arizona Sector would be best usage of limited border agent funding resources, and allow for more intense concentration there.

Court sides with Schwarzenegger on minimum wage - Yahoo! News

Court sides with Schwarzenegger on minimum wage - Yahoo! News

'SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A state appellate court on Friday sided with the Schwarzenegger administration in its attempt to temporarily impose the federal minimum wage on tens of thousands of state workers. It was not immediately clear how the ruling would affect Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's order a day earlier to pay 200,000 state workers the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour as the state wrestles with a budget crisis..

'The state controller, who cuts state paychecks, has refused to comply with the order. Friday's ruling affirms a lower-court decision in favor of the administration in a lawsuit filed two years ago after the governor's first attempt to impose the minimum wage. The latest ruling from the California 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento concludes that state Controller John Chiang cannot ignore the minimum wage order from the state Department of Personnel Administration. It says "the DPA has the authority to direct the controller to defer salary payments in excess of federally mandated minimum wages when appropriations for the salaries are lacking due to a budget impasse....."

'But Chiang said in a news release that he interpreted the court ruling to mean that his office would not have to comply with the executive order if it was practically infeasible to do so. "I will move quickly to ask the courts to definitively resolve the issue of whether our current payroll system is capable of complying with the minimum wage order in a way that protects taxpayers from billions of dollars in fines and penalties," Chiang said in the statement.'

Chiang is a fr**kin liar for the State Public Unions: the states payroll system can indeed be updated fairly quickly and with minimum fuss. Chiang wants his corrupt PEU buddies in Sacto to be able to continue to steal and squeeze full pay and benefits from the CA bankrupt treasury, even if CA does not pass a budget, and even in face of the the worst economic downturn since the great depression.

My personal faxed reply to Obama's immigration speech

Here is my reply to President Obama's immigration speech of June 1st, 2010

The vast majority of Americans want to see our immigration laws enforced thru continued ICE Raids, a nationwide E-Verify law, and stronger border security, not legislation that provides blanket amnesty to those who have broken our laws. US economy is in a very severe recession with high unemployment. Lots of American citizens are out of work and need assistance. Providing amnesty to illegals is the wrong prescription in a near-depression economy with 17-20% REAL U-6 unemployment.

It is just plain wrong to allow amnesty and forgiveness for millions of lawbreaking illegal immigrants who used fake doc's and forgery to get jobs which should go to law-abiding Americans. No amnesty and deport all those who entered here illegally. And secure our borders. Mr President, wake up and realize that there are millions of UE Americans without work yet millions of illegals who have entered the country illegally last 20-30 years who are now holding down jobs obtained using fake ID doc's. Do you stand behind the average out of work Joe Citizen or are you a pawn to the big greedy exploiting corporations who prefer paying cheap wages to illegals who BTW also suck gov't benefits and drain the social security net, causing states like CA to be deeply in debt.

California has a 13 % official UE rate. The real U-6 UE rate is close to 25%. That means one in four Californians are either out of work or reduced to part time. CA also has 3 million illegals. 2 million of those are holding down non-agricultural laboring and blue collar jobs often obtained using fake/phony work documents. 2 Million foreign nationals have displaced 2 million UE California citizens. Are you the president of US or Mexico?
No other country allows 10-20 million foreign nationals to flood into a country illegally and steal away jobs from American Citizens.

I will not stand by and allow your administration to give jobs to illegals and stop ICE raids on companies employing illegals while millions of American Citizens are unemployed and starving. I stand for the unemployed American Worker

Ariel view of 110-10 freeway junction near LA DWTN

Traffic


Los Angeles ranks high in 'commuter pain' study, but things could be worse | L.A. NOW | Los Angeles Times

Here is Ariel shot of junction of 10(Santa Monica)freeways and 110(Harbor freeways), looking southeast if U pan from bottom to top of pic. large building at left edge of pic(next to NE freeway quadrant loop)is LA Convention Center, South wing. The 110 harbor freeway runs north to south if you pan from bottom-left to top- right of pic. Santa Monica freeway 10 cuts across pic from west to east.

Notice all those low, squat buildings & structures crowding this pic. These units are either small sweat-shop businesses/other commercial units, or apts teeming with immigrants, including illegals. LA's large Illegal population is well represented in the Pico-Union district at NW freeway quadrant(W of 110, N of 10), and the Jefferson Park district(south of 10, E of 110)

Fullerton Illeg immig ICE raid -background

Illegal immigration: Immigration raid at Fullerton factory leads to 43 arrests - latimes.com

A short comment on ICE raid on a Fullerton factory in NE Orange County, CA. That area of Fullerton, on Raymond Ave off Riverside Freeway 91, is a large industrial region in NW OC. It is in fact OC's second largest industrial region after the Irvine industrial belt. I know for a fact that lots of firms there use illegal/green card/H1-b workers.
The entire area around there is packed with recent immigrants, which are concentrated in nearby Anaheim, Orange, South fullerton, parts of Placentia, La Palma, ect. A large immigrant community has sprung up in that part of OC. It is a large immigrant work force, and more skilled and educated than Los Angeles' impoverished immigrant population. I have been into quite a few industrial firms in OC, and most of them employ recent immigrant labor, including the large Alcoa-Fullerton metals fabrication plant. If not illegals they use low-skilled anchors/immigrant green carders. Rarely do you see native born Caucasians on the production floor in these firms, except in management/executive capacity. The nature of the work: processing metals or food, low-level warehousing, metals fabrication, lumber warehousing, furniture manufacturing, is such that these firms prefer docile, lowly paid, recent immigrants, mostly from Mex or central america, but also including Philippinos or other Asian immigrant groups.

NE OC dosen't have nearly the extent of illegal alien sweatshop operations as parts of Central and east LA however. Los Angeles area has plenty of small & medium sweatshop factories, some them barely above shoplevel, and most of them employing a largely illegal/green card labor workforce. These sweatshops are concentrated in East San Fernando Valley, dwtn area of La(garment district),east LA, south LA/Vernon area, or along Alameda Corridor. These are usually small/mid-sized processing shops. The work is grimy and tedious, and these firms are usually located in such dismal ghettoish, grimy areas of LA that the owners can escape inquisitive state labor investigators, and get away with using illegal labor. Google Vernon Overhill Farms ICE raid, a 2009 raid on a food processing plant. That is a fairly large firm, but there are 10,000+ firms large, med, and small, similar to Overhill Farms, employing predominantly illegals & green CARD Immigrants.

ICE would run into political problems in LA if they really went after all the LA firms using illegals, as these shops are deeply imbedded in LA's impoverished communities, and are protected by the LA political establishment. Ice barely got away with the Vernon raid, as there were lots of howls and screams from the LA activists, ACLU,and immgrant rights lawyers. There will not be any more ICE raids in LA till either Obama leaves office, Republicans get heavy majorities in congress and/or CA turns majority Republican, an unlikely event.
