Maybe we should build a fence around Berkley and start sending all these shining examples of illegal immigration to the Berkley Immigrant Free Zone. Let them deal with them without the help of the rest of the country and our tax dollars. We certainly don’t need anything from them.

Note to self, buy a new dictionary. The one we have is obsolete.

According to my Webster’s New World Dictionary of The American Language

illegal: adj Prohibited by law; against the law

‘Nuff said?

I am just waiting for the SCOTUS to decide that illegal aliens are not illegal aliens (or at least give the power to federal courts to decide this).

I think their latest ruling indicated that if they (illegal aliens would seem to fit if illegal enemy combatants did) were in an area under “American Authority” than they were eligible for protection as given by our Bill of Rights and our Constitution.

Michael Gilhooly, spokesman for ICE, said that the Providence police should have used the agency’s NLTS telecommunications system to check on Riz’s immigration status. He said that the police would have learned that a federal immigration court, in 2003, had ordered Riz to leave the United States.

Can the Providence police deport a person who has previously been ordered to leave the country by a Judge?

Guatemala, eh? How about free medical care for three years, plus a $250,000 suit brought by illegal’s family against the providing hospital:

Let’s see Obama and McCain “debate” this at The Race convention, shall we?

That should make for interesting conversation, now wouldn’t it?

he was in this country illegally, but there was no evidence that he was a “criminal.” As a result, he was released from custody.

I agree – there is a problem here or is it just me that thought being in the country illegally is a crime?????

From the Providence Journal story linked to above – a suggestion to help police deal with criminal aliens who have been deported or ordered to leave the USA.

Add the ICE deportee database to the National Criminal Identification Center (NCIC) database which is commonly queried by police to determine if an arrestee has outstanding warrants.

Every little bit helps.

If someone is an attorney on this blog maybe they can help me w/a question. Our city (located central valley CA.) has often been sued for things they allegedly could have or should have done—-eg. road hazards, improper oversight, police misconduct, etc. Most of the cases that I am aware of were absolute BS.

How then when illegals are repeatedly caught and they are still here and commit more serious crimes, is a city esp. a proud sanctuary city, not liable for actions commited by a criminal who the city is aware of? The recent case in L.A. comes to mind where an illegal gang banger was let out of jail and the next day shot and killed an innocent HS. student whose mother was serving in Iraq.

The statement by agent not too smart Gilhooly should live in infamy. His idiotic comment should really scare someone who thinks govt. will protect them. Oh I forgot—they will protect you from those who smoke, don’t wear their seat belts, cycle helmets, use c-phones while driving,etc.

As Thomas Crapper is infamously tied to the word Crap- when someone utters something PROFOUNDLY STUPID….from now on…they’ve uttered a GILHOOLY.

I think it should be used this way. If a person is harmed by an illegal alien that should have been deported then they have been GILHOOLYED.

The longer they play the blame game, the longer this happens. Pull all federal funding from California until they drop their sanctuary stance. Its time.

ICE is running out to be a great example to support the case of privatization… Imagine if we took their budget & outsourced to, oh I don’t know, maybe Blackwater???

just a thought.
