   I filled out that form about a month ago and have not heard from anyone.

   I will be glad to contact Roy Cooper!
   I doubt I will get a personal response back, but the effort is worth it!

   How do we let YOU know, Michelle, when we get a response or lack thereof?

   You are awesome,Michelle. Thank you. I first read of MS-13 from your blog.

   Consider it done and I will encourage others to do the same. Bravo.

   From the Article “She said that the practice will be allowed in New Jersey, but that deputized agents can perform immigration status checks only after someone is arrested for an indictable offense.”

   This is what Hannity and Tancredo was trying to get across to Geraldo last night, if they’re working and taking care of their families and obeying the laws (other than the being here illegally) they won’t be bothered. But if they get arrested for dui, assault, child sex abuse, murder etc. ICE will be notified.

   I have a feeling that the support for the death penalty in New Jersey is going to rise again (as it usually does after reports of such heinous crimes). I wonder how Governor Corzine and the Democrats that control the State’s legislature will deal with (esepcially since this is an election year in state government), given their support for abolishing capital punishment in the state.

    Illinois: Lisa Madigan (D) (312) 814-3000
    James R. Thompson Ctr., 100 W. Randolph St., Chicago, IL 60601
    http://illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/

    I should remind anyone in Illinois that Lisa is the daughter of Michael J. Madigan (D-), Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives. Mike is also the chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois. Mike is also pretty much this state’s only defense from Govenor Rod Blagojevich’s stupidity (while you call your state officials in Illinois, ask why the hell central IL schools aren’t getting their funding. The state is late, what a shock).

    I didn’t like Lisa initially, but she seems pretty intent of doing at least a decent job. I could be convinced to vote for her next time around if she gets behind this “Detain and hold the illegals so the feds can ship them home” push.

    I will never forget on one Oprah Show how Lucy Liu said that MS-13 was sort of a normal gang, then came to the US and learned its savage methods from their US counterparts! When did US gangs use machetes?! Let’s see if Oprah has these families on her show. Two-parent families, kids in college, and they’re being executed. Ir is it still blame America first, Oprah?

    Wow, you mean even Tom Tancredo has gone pro-illegal? Why on earth should illegal entry be unenforced? Pure corruption.

    We had a case in Chicago of a presumed illegal alien gang kidnapping and chainsawing a businessman, a second businessman being rescued in the nick of time, but I can find no reference to it anymore. Perhaps Google and/or the lib media hide stories that are too “provocative.”

    Kidnapping is primarily 1. a Columbian, and 2. a Mexican activity, so we can look forward to celebrating diversity in the future by enjoying this part of Latin culture over tacos.

    My e-mail via the Illinois State’s Attorney General’s official website.

    Description of Issue: Illegal immigrants, and ICE notification

    Your Message to the Office of the Attorney General: Considering the brutal slayings in Newark by what at least appears to be illegal immigrant members of the street gang MS-13, and other murders and violent crimes commited by illegal aliens either out on bond/bail or with extensive criminal records, I was wondering what the State’s Attorney General’s office had as official policy was regarding bail for illegal immigrants, the ability of police to inquire as to someone’s immigration status, and the notification of ICE officials when an illegal immigrant is arrest and indicted for crimes ranging from rape and murder to DUI, assault, and burglary.

    I’ll be sure to let you all know what sort of reply I get… If I get one.

    And she’s recently re-elected, so it will be a while before my chance to vote or not evote for her come up…

    We have a large illegal population in Southern Idaho, being a highly agricultural area with numerous farms and ranches. I have no doubt we have members of MS-13 in and around where we live and this is one of several reasons my wife and I acquired our CCW this summer.

    I will be writing my Attorney General today. Thank you again Michelle for doing the leg work and providing the contact information to get our states and local community authorities involved in doing the job the Department of Homeland Insecurity refuses to do.

    I spoke to Utah’s Office assistant for Mark Shurtleff (R) and he said he wasn’t aware on what New Jersey had done and that he felt that it wouldn’t be the job of that office to impose this type of procedure. He referred me to The Utah Chief of Police association and the Utah Sheriff’s Association. So basically I don’t think they will do much. He also brought up that it could be considered racial profiling , as in how do you know to question someone’s immigration status. So a dead horse here.

    It is MY understanding that the MS-13 have trained with AQ….at least in the present tense.

    Same sociopathic behaviors…killing women, cutting off heads……ring a bell?

    Yet what is OUR GOVERNMENT DOING ABOUT THIS?

    What is a firearm that a petite woman can handle easily? Please tell me.

    That’s EASY. “Question” the status every single person you arrest, even if you’ve known their parents since before they were born. Ta-da, no profiling.

    gayle #22-

    In answer to your firearm question; there are alot of good choices out there and recommend visiting the local gun store/firing range.

    My personal suggestion: A lady Smith and Wesson, a Ruger Sp-101 or a Sig Arms P-222 9mm all of them pack whallop!

    I should add to post #26 that if you have a local indoor range, they’re likely to be able to teach you how to handle it safely and shoot properly (if you’re not already proficient), and they may have some different options available to test out.

    Just heard a terrific guy on WNC talk radio – I hadn’t heard of Americans for Legal Immigration before. NC has a lot of immigrants (legal and otherwise) and the liberal newspaper(s) are covering for them by omitting details about fatal auto accidents, felonies, etc., that we have a right to know. Check out -

    He is speaking in Winston-Salem tonight and will praise Eliz. Dole for standing up to shamnesty. Sorry I didn’t hear his name clearly, but this is one angry and motivated fellow representing the above group which is not limited to NC.

    In Latin countries MS13 gang problems are assigned to the military, they go after them very seriously.

    The Police in the US hasn’t been able to curb the current gang situation, how in the world can they be expected to tackle the unprecedented violence of MS13?

    The ROE for our law enforcement can’t even hope to come close to these highly organized incredibly vicious gangs, much less without ICE help (as in the numerous sanctuary cities around the country).

    MS13 in America is like turning loose a non indigenous species that has no predator to keep it’s numbers in check.

    You ought to attempt to post anything regarding illegals on the WRAL website.

    It gets erased within minutes UNLESS someone is asleep at the hamster wheel.

    I have written to them and asked them what is the deal about free speech.
    It’s hate….did you know that? To dislike your state/my county being over-run with illegals is against the media policies of correctness.

    It is so blatantly obvious that this state plans to do NOTHING about the problem.

    Yet the taxes just keep going up to pay for these freeloaders.

    #31, you are so right. A species that we’ve not been exposed previously creates a whole set of new rules. With the checks in place that are self-imposed, I’m not sure we’re up to the task. Our most blatant problems are those that will subvert any attempt to correct the problem.

    #32, the only ones not being taxed are refugees, illegal aliens, and prisoners. And, someone, please tell why we needed any of the above? The American taxpayer is at their wits end. I’m looking at a major financial downturn in the next couple of years, no matter who homesteads the White House for the next 8 years.

    “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” —Marcus Tullius Cicero

    All we need do is nothing, I’m sure it will be painless and there isn’t any need to worry, our children, our grandchildren will just be citizens of another nation.

    For us the gentle soft night will envelope our regretful souls and carry us away, so that eternity will see our contribution as so much dust, playing about, to no great effect.

    This response from the AZ AG’s office.
    The New Jersey Attorney General, unlike the Arizona Attorney General,
    is appointed by the governor and works as a member of the governor’s
    staff, which gives her supervisory authority over the state police. In
    Arizona, the Attorney General has no such authority, and a decision such
    as the one made in New Jersey would have to come from the governor’s
    office. It’s my understanding, however, that policies currently in place
    in Arizona call for notifying federal authorities when persons suspected
    of being in this country illegally are taken into custody and charged
    with serious crimes.

    Attorney General Terry Goddard is committed to enforcing all state laws
    within his jurisdiction, including those that apply to illegal
    immigrants.

    Sincerely,

    Steve M. Wilson
    Director of Communications
    Arizona Attorney General’s Office
