ILLEGAL ALIENS?
Is Governor Cuomo compromising the
security and safety of New Yorkers and
failing to save billions in dollars of
costs associated with the presence of
untold numbers of illegal aliens in
New York State?
Reading the following raises more questions than
it answers.
Cuomo Ends State’s Role in Checking Immigrants
Marcus Yam for The New York Times
By KIRK SEMPLE
Published: June 1, 2011
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said on Wednesday that he was suspending New York’s participation in a federal immigration enforcement plan that has drawn fire from immigrant advocates, civil liberties lawyers and elected officials in the state and around the country.
Nathaniel Brooks for The New York Times
A statement from Mr. Cuomo’s office said there was “mounting evidence” that the program, called Secure Communities, had not only failed to meet its goal of deporting the most serious immigrant criminals but was also undermining law enforcement and compromising public safety. PROOF?
“There are concerns about the implementation of the program as well as its impact on families, immigrant communities and law enforcement in New York,” Mr. Cuomo said. Unless those concerns are eased, the statement said, New York will not take part. SPECFIC CONCERNS?
Mr. Cuomo’s decision makes New York the second state to announce its intention to withdraw from the program, and sets up a confrontation with the Obama administration, which has made Secure Communities a cornerstone of immigration enforcement strategy. Gov. Pat Quinn of Illinois said in May that he was canceling his state’s participation.
Under the program, begun by the Bush administration in 2008, the fingerprints of everyone booked into a local or county jail are sent to the Department of Homeland Security and compared with prints in its files. If officials find that a suspect is in the country illegally, or is a noncitizen with a criminal record, they may seek to deport the person.
By Wednesday, that fingerprint sharing had been introduced in about 41 percent of the nation’s jurisdictions, including 27 of 62 counties in New York. Mr. Cuomo’s move means that those counties’ participation will end. The entire country is scheduled to join the program by 2013. NAME COUNTIES.
The practical effects of Mr. Cuomo’s decision are unclear. New York law enforcement agencies regularly check fingerprints with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Homeland Security officials said that regardless of New York’s participation in Secure Communities, the F.B.I. would still share fingerprints with the immigration agency. SO, GOV ANDREW IS POSTURING?
Federal officials said that if states did not share fingerprints with the F.B.I., those states would lose access to federal criminal databases, undermining their ability to fight crime.
While Secure Communities has contributed to a sharp rise in deportations under President Obama, it does not appear to have won him many allies. It has angered immigrants who supported Democrats in recent elections. It has also failed to convince many of the president’s Republican opponents that he is sufficiently committed to enforcement.
Opponents of the program contend that even though it was mainly intended to ensnare convicted criminals and people deemed a security threat, it has instead caught too many immigrants charged with low-level crimes or guilty only of being in the country illegally. This pattern, the opponents argue, has driven immigrants deeper into the shadows and deterred them from helping officials fight crime. ONLY GUILTY OF BEING
IN COUNTRY ILLEGALLY?
In addition, critics have assailed the rollout of Secure Communities, which has been plagued by seemingly contradictory statements about how it works and whether local and state participation is voluntary. VAGUE
Mylan L. Denerstein, counsel to Mr. Cuomo, cited these concerns in a letter on Wednesday.
“Until the numerous questions and controversies regarding the program can be resolved, we have determined that New York is best served by relying on existing tools to ensure the safety of its residents, especially given our overriding concern that the current mechanism is actually undermining law enforcement,” Mr. Denerstein wrote to John Sandweg, counsel to Janet Napolitano, the homeland security secretary. WHAT QUESTIONS, CONTROVERSIES? WHAT EXISTING TOOLS?
Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an arm of Homeland Security that oversees Secure Communities, said it was reviewing the program to make sure it focused on criminals.
Immigrant advocates praised Mr. Cuomo. “It is clear the tide is turning” against Secure Communities, said Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network in Los Angeles. “It’s high time for the president to terminate the program before any further damage is done to our communities.” WHOSE
COMMUNITIES?
###
Rather than ending New York's
participation in the Secure Communities
program, Governor Cuomo should:
1. End Sanctuary status for illegal aliens
in New York State, all counties
cities, towns, villages and political
units therof. And denying state and
federal aid to juridictions, including
school districts, that fail to comply.
2. Report to the people of New York
answering these questions?
a) How many illegal aliens are in
the state and where?
b) What is the cost to state, and local
taxpayers, of providing social services
education benefits, medical care for
illegal aliens.
c) What are the types and numbers
of crimes perpetrated by illegal
aliens? What proportion of those
incarcerated in prisons and jails
in New York, are illegal aliens?
What is it costing state taxpayers
for law enforcement, courts, jails
and prisons related to illegal
aliens.
The costs of failure of New York State
and the political subdivisions thereof
to far exceed any political benefit that
might accrue to Governor Cuomo and
the New York Democratic Party.
In fact, this failure puts all New Yorkers
at increased risk, when we are the targets
of a foe seeking to destroy us in their War
of Terror.

Two Presidentes are meeting in Washington DC.
One has an agenda of fundamentally (radically)
transforming America. The other is a key partner
in that agenda.
Neither is serving the best interests of America
nor Mexico.
Presidente Obama is no Gringo. He and
Presidente Calderon are amigoes who are
playing the race card to the detriment of the
peoples of both nations.
The Heritage Foundation frames the key issues
involving both the U S and Mexico in this report:
Presidents Calderón and Obama have a duty to their citizens to advance a responsible neighbor policy focused on security and law enforcement cooperation, the legal movements of migrants and temporary workers, and mutually beneficial trade and investment ties founded on transparency, rule of law, and respect for national sovereignty.
http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2010/05/Mexicos-President-Visits-Washington-Time-for-a-Responsible-Neighbor-Policy
If Presidente Obama were a Gringo, he would
announce an embargo of Mexico. No U.S.
tourism to Mexico, freezing transfer of money
from the U S to Mexico and halting trade with
Mexico; until Presidente Calderon ,and the
Mexican government ,seal their border with
the United States and bring an end to the
drug trade and illegal immigration into the
United States, from Mexico.
If Mexico applied it's harsh treatment of
persons illegally entering Mexico to those
engaged in the drug trade and associated
violence, and those illegally entering the
U.S., both problems would be quickly
resolved.
Calderon should be sent high tailing it for
the Mexican border.
As for Presidente Obama, American voters
must send him a clear message in 2010.
*Secure our National borders and ports.
*No Amnesty for the tens of millions of
illegal aliens who have invaded our land.
*No jobs, or public benefits, of any kind
for illegals.
*Immediate deportation of all illegals in
U S prisons and jails to their countries of
origin.
*No U.S. state or local government
sanctuary policies regarding illegals will
be tolerated.
Presidente Obama should also be sent
high tailing for Mexico, if he fails to adopt
these policies. He would find out, first hand
how Mexico treats illegal aliens who
violate Mexico's borders.
Presidente Calderon should concentrate
on reforming his corrupt government, at
all levels; and providing for the development
of a safe, properous nation, free of drug
violence. A nation whose citizens do not
have to sneak across the border to find a
better life.

BORDERS AND PORTS HAS
ENDANGERED AMERICA
Amnesty for illegal aliens is next after
health care reform, in the Obama plan
to radically transform America.
How many terrorists are among those
tens of millions of illegal aliens?

Illegal immigration is the trojan horse
that will bring America down.
We need a Congress that will secure
our borders and ports and a Congress
that will not grant amnesty to the
tens of millions of illegal aliens who
have invaded our nation.
This is a priority in the 2010 elections.

VOTES: FOR ILLEGALS 14,

Albany Common Council Members are witless
pc sheep ,out of touch with reality, in our post
9-11 world.
We are at war with radical lunitics who want to
destroy us, America and our way of life and
government.
If governments, at all levels, were more diligent
the 9-11 attackers would not have gotten driver's
licenses and flight training in America.
9-11 would not have happened.
This action of the Albany Common Council
if adhered to, will only make it easier for
Al Qaeda, and their domestic allies, to put a
target on Albany for one of their next terror
attacks. Our enemies must be laughing at this
hapless body of elected boobs.
Put them out to pasture in the
September 15 Democratic Primary.
Corey Ellis, Mayoral candidate has snatched
defeat from the jaws of victory, with his
foolhardy vote.
Carolyn McLaughlin is not Common Council
President material.
Smith, Calsolaro, Scalzo, Conti, Fahey
Rosenzweig Sano, O'Brien, Herring and
Igoe must go.
About a month remains for circulating Independent
petitions to challenge each unopposed ,incumbent
Council Member who voted for this treasonous
Resolution.
None should go unchallenged!
Where are the Tea Party participants and
defenders of America when they are needed?
The public is not safe with the incumbent Common
Council Members in public office.
Public safety is a priority issue in the coming city
elections.
If we are not safe, nothing else matters.
Fortunately, their Resolution calling for police
firefighters and EMT's ,not to ask people their
citizenship-immigration status, is not law. It
is merely a non-binding expression of lunacy.
Hopefully, this misguided, dangerous Resolution
will be ignored by the law enforcement and public
safety workers.
And, hopefully, voters will vote smart, realizing
that government won't save us...
we must save ourselves from our government.

SI....ILLEGALS NO
The Albany Common Council will vote
Monday evening on a Resolution that
in effect would make Albany a sanctuary
city for illegal aliens.
http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/storyprint.asp?StoryID=821320
This outrageous Resolution should be
voted down.
Proof of U S citizenship should be required
to get a job or to get social services, medicaid
or attend public schools.
America is overrun by tens of millions of
illegal aliens, who ,by in large ,are a drain
on taxpayers as well as our health care
and educational systems, law enforcement
and prison system. Many of these illegals
pose a security threat to local communities
and the nation.
The Albany Police, and public safety workers
have an obligation to protect citizen residents
of Albany...this obligation includes checking
citizenship/immigration status of people, and
turning over illegal aliens to federal
authorities for deportation.
It is preposterous that such a Resolution
would even be considered by the Albany
Common Council.
Vote it down!

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MUST BE DEALT WITH NOW
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MUST BE DEALT WITH NOW!
Times are tough and they will get much worse, sooner than the public realizes.
We can not have tens of millions of uneducated, poor, non-English speaking illegal aliens violating our national sovereignty, and placing a burden on our law enforcement, health care system, schools, prisions and social services. Many are out on the highways and city streets of America, driving unlicensed and uninsured, causing fatal accidents.
We are being held hostage by oil producing parts of the world, most of whom are hostile to us and who wish to see lifeboat America capsize. Not only is oil growing more costly, soon it will be rationed and then maybe not available at any price. When this happens, our economy and way of life will crumble.
Chaos, turmoil , violence and civil disorder will follow. Martial Law will be decreed.
Competition for work, fuel, food and other necesseties of life will be intense.
Americans who once turned their backs on menial jobs, laboring and farm work, will seek out that work as they and their families struggle to survive.
So, the illegals must go home, now. The Congress must act to provide that no one works, votes, or receives any form of social servive, medical and educational benefits without proof of U S citizenship. Illegals would soon voluntarily go home.
One third of the U S prison population is made up of illegal aliens. They should be deported without delay.
The very survival of our nation is on the line. We can not tolerate the Trojan Horse of illegal immigration to hasten our demise. Sure, some illegals are simply here looking for a better life. Far too many others are not. Included in this surge of illegals are many OTM's (other than Mexicans) who are the foot soldiers of the foreign terrorists who are sworn to our destruction.
It follows that our national borders and ports must be secured without delay. Failure to do this has been one of the greatest failures of the Bush Administration, and the Clinton Administration before that.
Politicians running for President and Congress, in 2008 must stop pandering to Latinos and other 3rd world immigrants, legal and illegal, just to get votes. Those who came here legally,and who have become Americans, do not want to see America destroyed by tens of millions of poor, uneducated 3rd world illegal aliens. So wise up politicians!
