So there you are, running Customs and Immigration for the Massachusetts region. You oversee operations to protect the ports, airports, etc., from illegal trafficing, smuggling, and an influx of illegal immigration.

Hey, I have an idea — wouldn’t you be perfectly placed to find and hire people to work for you, real cheap? You could even give them sound advice on how to avoid being apprehended by … people like you!

Sounds like a plan to me…

Homeland Security Official Hires Illegal Immigrants

Fri, 12/05/2008 – 15:21 — Judicial Watch Blog

A high-ranking Homeland Security official, who oversees a large division responsible for preventing illegal immigrants from entering the U.S., has been arrested and charged with hiring them as domestic workers.

For years, the Massachusetts regional director of Customs and Border Protection (Lorraine Henderson) paid illegal immigrants cash to clean her house and she even coached them on how to avoid deportation.

Not one week after his winning the Electoral College, Barack Obama is being “called upon” to stop raids on illegals, and make them legal citizens.

Awww shucks, this is terrible! An illegal alien advocating the annexation of California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico back into Mexico (or worse, as it’s own independent Chicano state) was arrested by the immigration authorities.

I just hate it when the Feds actually do their jobs, don’t you?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested the President of MEChA at Palomar College in San Marcos, California. The 22 year old student, Paola Oropeza, was accused of being in the USA illegally. Also arrested was her father Guillermo Oropeza, her mother María de Jesus Oropeza, and her older sister Claudia Oropeza.

MEChA or Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan is a student group with chapters in many high schools, colleges and universities that promotes Mexican culture and history. MEChA also promotes higher education among Chicano youths. The organization has been under constant attack by USA xenophobes, racists and bigots because the student organization also promotes ethnic pride.

Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for ICE in San Diego said that Paola, Guillermo and María de Jesus have been deported to Mexico but that Claudia is presently incarcerated at a federal facility.

The arrest of Paola Oropeza, an exemplary college student and pro-immigrant activist, signals that ICE may now be targeting MEChA and its leadership. This is a warning sign to other MEChA Chapters throughout Aztlan.

The San Diego area has seen a series of escalating and hostile actions by ICE and the US Border Patrol. Yesterday, the three major Mexican political parties strongly condemned the launching into Mexican territory of noxious chemical gas canisters by the US Border Patrol. The gas canisters have been launched across the border into Tijuana neighborhoods on several occasions and have injured Mexican civilians including school children.

Thereby absolving illegals of their illegality. I think or something.

See this World Class Idiot bloviating to the Mexican Congress here

I’m kind of bummed today — the Marxist agitators trying to destroy America were pretty unsuccessful in repeating their successes from last year in yesterday’s “rallies”.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Immigration rallies held nationwide Tuesday produced only a fraction of the million-plus protesters who turned out last year, as fear about raids and frustration that the marches haven’t pushed Congress to pass reform kept many people at home.

In Los Angeles, where several hundred thousand turned out last year, about 25,000 attended a downtown rally, said police Capt. Andrew Smith, an incident commander. In Chicago, where more than 400,000 swarmed the streets a year earlier, police officials put initial estimates at about 150,000.

Organizers said those who did march felt a sense of urgency to keep immigration reform from getting pushed to the back burner by the 2008 presidential elections.

But they shouldn’t worry — I’m pretty certain the topic of illegal immigration, illegal employment, and corporate malfeasance in the matter will be a hot topic during the next set of elections.

Are they helping their cause of Reconquista with antics like this?

Students stormed the stage at Columbia University’s Roone auditorium yesterday, knocking over chairs and tables and attacking Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the Minutemen, a group that patrols the border between America and Mexico.

Mr. Gilchrist and Marvin Stewart, another member of his group, were in the process of giving a speech at the invitation of the Columbia College Republicans. They were escorted off the stage unharmed and exited the auditorium by a back door.

Having wreaked havoc onstage, the students unrolled a banner that read, in both Arabic and English, “No one is ever illegal.” As security guards closed the curtains and began escorting people from the auditorium, the students jumped from the stage, pumping their fists, chanting victoriously, “Si se pudo, si se pudo,” Spanish for “Yes we could!”

I think not.

And they are insisting that a fence will make the border less secure? How do they figure that, exactly?

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico pleaded with President Bush on Monday to veto a Senate proposal to build a fence to keep illegal immigrants out, saying it could backfire by making the border less secure.

The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly backed a bill on Friday to put up about 700 miles of fence, a project Republicans hope will impress voters calling for tougher immigration control ahead of November 7 congressional elections.

“The Mexican government strongly opposes the building of walls in the border area between Mexico and the United States,” President Vicente Fox’s spokesman Ruben Aguilar told reporters.

“This decision hurts bilateral relations, goes against the spirit of cooperation needed to guarantee security on the common border, creates a climate of tension in border communities,” he said.

Aguilar said Mexico would send a diplomatic note to Washington on Monday urging Bush to veto the bill, which requires the president’s signature to become law.

Of course, the 20 million or so illegals in the United States, why, that’s not something that should hurt “bilateral relations”, should it?

A Honduran teenager faces deportation after being charged with stealing an anti-immigration protest sign.

Joel Martines, 19, was arrested May 11 on charges he stole the sign outside a convenience store where day laborers seek work. The store has been the scene of protests supporting stricter enforcement of immigration laws.

While Martines was in custody, immigration authorities determined he entered the country illegally last year through Texas.

Just how terrible would life be in the United States of Yanqui if the illegals went home? Not only wouldn’t we have nearly as many people wearing awesome hats like this dude, but

Because, after all, only an illegal alien can put beans, meat and cheese on a flour tortilla.

That’s it. I’m going to personally go out and buy at least $50 bucks worth of gasoline, a new pair of work shoes, a suit, my wife a new set of duds, a car for my 16-year old daughter, and around 3 dozen Taco Supremes next Monday.

(AP) SACRAMENTO California’s state senators on Thursday endorsed Monday’s boycott of schools, jobs and stores by illegal immigrants and their allies as supporters equated the protest with great social movements in American history.

By a 24-13 vote that split along party lines, the California Senate approved a resolution that calls the one-day protest the Great American Boycott 2006 and describes it as an attempt to educate Americans “about the tremendous contribution immigrants make on a daily basis to our society and economy.”‘

You need to do your part, too. We’re ALL immigrants to this country, one generation or another. What the California Senate is saying is — without ILLEGAL immigrants, our economy would sink. This is the rankest form of stinking bullshit I think I’ve ever seen. Are you going to let them get away with it?

URGENT ALERT: From The Revolutionary Council and Provisional Government of Aztlan

April 26, 2006

Estimada Raza de Aztlan and Beyond,

Our Director of Special Intelligence Services has brought to our attention disturbing information that threatens the safety of our families. This information requires that we prepare a defense strategy to protect our communities.

Due to the recent large demonstrations of our people in major cities in occupied Anahuac, extremist European invaders are preparing violent actions against us. They are expected to use physical violence in the upcoming marches and rallies planned for May 1, 2006 and we must take steps to protect our families.

The Director of Special Intelligence Services has reliable information that anti-Mexican forces in Aztlan and in certain other area of Anahuac, are preparing to utilize explosives and snipers to kill our people. We urge our community to arm themselves to protect our families. We are also urging our soldiers presently serving In Iraq, Afghanistan and other foreign lands to do everything possible to return home and fight for your own. The situation here is critical.

In addition, all political prisoners shall be in constant alert and ready for action. Also, youth groups in our barrios shall call truces and direct their energies against the racist enemy that has vowed to annihilate our families.

Our Prime Minister is instructing every able bodied male to arm himself to protect the women and children in his home. We can not depend on local White law enforcement authorities because in many cases they will join the criminal elements and participate in the slaughter of our people. Make sure you have weapons and plenty of ammunition in your homes at the ready.

Criminal racist elements have already made death threats against certain “occupation administrators” and they will not stop at killing our civilians. We hope that the massacres of Mexicans that the White criminals have vowed to undertake are just the rantings of cowardly insane minds but we must take these threats seriously.

Cuauhtli
Minister of Information
Nation of Aztlan

Read this.

Well, it’s finally come to this: Aztlan has officially declared a boycott of Kotex, Huggies, Kleenex, Cottonelle, Scott, Kimbies, Pull-ups, Depend and more.

Why? Because the Evil Nazi Fascist Congressman Sensenbrenner is an heir to the Kimberly-Clark fortune. If illegal aliens stop wiping their noses, their fundamental posterior orifices, and their babies in KC products, Sensenbrenner will be FORCED to stop doing bad things to these poor, embattled people.

There was no guidance on what substitutes might be appropriate, although there is a downloadable flier available on the forums that I suppose you could use if you print it on soft enough paper. Frankly, I’d highly recommend avoiding this weekend’s protest rallies, unless you have a serious head cold.

… check out his analysis.

Just got this from my friends at Aztlan-is-coming:

Los Angeles, Alta California – March 31, 2006 – (ACN) The coalition that brought over 700,000 pro-immigrant rights marchers to Los Angeles announced yesterday that the next mass action will be “an economic and labor boycott that will paralyze the US economy”. The planned boycott, which now has international support, is to protest the racist HR4437 legislation being debated in the US Senate.

Dr. Armando Navarro, coordinator of the National Alliance for Human Rights (NAHR), said “We are living through very dangerous times and we must take advantage of the moment. If we just sit and wait to see what happens, everything we have accomplished so far may go to waste. That is why we must continue the struggle to once and for all defeat that racist proposal (HR4437)”.

Coalition member Roberto Reveles of “Unidos en Arizona” said that they will help host a “Summit Meeting” in Phoenix, Arizona to work out the details of the “international economic and labor boycott”. The summit will take place on April 8th and 9th. The boycott will take place on May 1 (Day of the International Solidarity of Workers) or May 5 (Cinco de Mayo). To be debated is whether a boycott beginning on May 1 and ending with a huge “fiesta” on May 5 can be sustained.

The stock market will crash! The McDonalds’ will all close! “Our” lawns will turn brown! Whatever will we do?

Real Ugly got this shot at him…

Oh, to be young again.

Nearly 40,000 students from across Southern California staged walkouts to protest proposed immigration legislation Monday, blocking traffic on four freeways and leaving educators concerned about how much longer the issue will disrupt schools.

The protests are believed to eclipse in size the demonstrations that occurred during the anti-Proposition 187 campaign in 1994 and even a famous student walkout for Chicano rights in 1968.

They continued today, for some reason, although apparently the rain may have put the kabosh on much more than downing a few forties. Oh well. Time off is time off.

Down with the man.

Amazing stuff.

Here we go

Caveat: According to the site, this “declaration” was made in 1970. Michelle, it’s a tad dated.
