Breaking news: ICE Raid in Mississippi largest in Nation

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Update August 27th:  Here is a more detailed account of the raid.  I wonder if the illegal Germans are actually Turks or other ethnic minorities?

And, here, thanks again to Blulitespecial, is an article about local (Americans!) arriving at the plant looking for a job!  And, here is yet another about Americans looking for jobs at this plant yesterday.

 Later in the day on the 27th:  See news about the “ripple affect” here.  

And, the first eight illegal aliens went before a judge here.

The eight are facing the federal charges because they are accused of fraudulently using social security numbers, residency documents, and work-related forms. Most of the fraudulent identities were stolen, but at least one person’s identity was a dead person.

More from Blulitespecial:  Tensions between union and immigrants according to AP here.

 

Thanks to Blulitespecial for the tip.  ICE has raided a manufacturing facility in Mississippi and taken into custody 600 suspected illegal aliens. 

Federal officials say nearly 600 suspected illegal immigrants were detained in a raid on a manufacturing plant in southern Mississippi, making it the largest such sweep in the country.

Howard Industries of Laurel, MS also employed minors who are now in the hands of the office of Refugee Resettlement according to news reports.

Nine 17-year-olds were transferred to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Why ORR— because it manages the federal Unaccompanied Immigrant and Refugee Minors program here.  That is a program not without controversy of its own.

Landowner Moxley sues citizen’s group in Walkersville case

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

A critical free speech case is developing in Walkersville, MD where the landowner who hoped to sell his property (for millions) to a Muslim group for a religious retreat that would bring up to 10,000 Muslims to the rural town in Frederick Co. MD is now including citizens in his suit.   Landowner Moxley was stymied in his plan by a zoning decision and sued the town (see our most recent post here on Walkersville).

Now comes news he is amending his lawsuit to include not just the town but the Citizens group, Citizens for Walkersville, whose members did not want to overcrowd their town and put a strain on sewer, water and roads and otherwise jeopardize the tranquility of their community.

I am not a lawyer, but this is a very important case and I bet Moxley and his Muslim friends are more interested in scaring people into silence then in extracting big bucks from a little town. 

If Moxley wins does this mean that any group could come along claiming to be a “religious” group that has been discriminated against and shove any sort of facility down a communities throat when citizens speak up to voice their concern for the quality of their environment?

Walkersville landowner David W. Moxley has amended his lawsuit against the Town of Walkersville to include a grassroots activist group that opposed a deal that would have brought a Muslim retreat center to town…..

The amendment targets Citizens for Walkersville, a group that organized opposition to the Muslim group’s plans and dominated public testimony during appeals board hearings in January and February.

In the Aug. 5 amendment to his federal lawsuit, Moxley alleges that “The officers and members of [Citizens for Walkersville] have conspired and worked in concert with town officials to prevent the [Muslim group] from using the Moxley Farm for its religious purposes.”

The amendment alleges that 20 members of Citizens for Walkersville and president Ed Marino and spokesman Steven R. Berryman “participated in the conspiracy to violate [Moxley] and the [Muslim group’s] rights,” and were “motivated by religious and racial discriminatory animus designed to deprive, directly or indirectly, the [Muslim group] of equal protection of the laws.”

In my opinion this suit is meant to silence citizens.

Lawyers lament: Hispanic Gay Asylum seekers having a harder time staying in US

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

A couple of days ago the Washington Post published a lengthy feature article about how it is becoming increasingly difficult for gays and lesbians from Latin countries to seek asylum in the US.   The reason seems to revolve around increasing tolerance for homosexuality in countries south of the border.

Asylees are immigrants who get to the US under their own steam (as opposed to refugees who we fly here at taxpayer expense), and claim they are persecuted for one of many reasons in their birth country.   There are special lawyers in the US who then help them stay permanently.  Asylees are helped just like refugees with all sorts of special government forms of welfare.  I am assuming the taxpayer helps with the medical expenses of those with HIV.

… as Mexico and other Latin American countries begin to liberalize laws regarding homosexuality, hold gay pride events and expand treatment for people with AIDS, it is becoming increasingly difficult to win such cases, say asylum applicants, U.S. lawyers and Latino activists.

“For a time, it seemed like it was a slam-dunk if you were gay, from Mexico and filed for asylum in the United States,” said Arthur S. Leonard, a professor at New York Law School. “But there’s been a turning point. The gay rights movement has started to make progress in Mexico, and it’s a little harder to show” that asylum is warranted, he said.

The subtle, unofficial shift in immigration policy has significant public health implications, say leaders throughout the region who view asylum as a path to better treatment of people with HIV. Though many applaud the progress on gay rights and AIDS care, they caution that it may take decades to reverse deeply ingrained attitudes toward homosexuality that are closely connected to the spread of HIV in the region.

I’m wondering how the government and these asylum lawyers know if the immigrant claiming asylum is telling the truth.   Couldn’t an illegal immigrant coming across the border just say he is gay? Surely no one checks behind closed doors.

For more on this issue and the loosening of immigration laws to allow  HIV positive immigrants into the US see this earlier post.

Immigration is responsible for shrinking US white population

By 2042, white Americans will be a minority according to new census figures.  Hat tip:  Dick.  Read what MSNBC says here:

WASHINGTON – White people will no longer make up a majority of Americans by 2042, according to new government projections. That’s eight years sooner than previous estimates, made in 2004.

Immigrants with high birth rates are responsible.  This is a good time to visit our link and watch (or rewatch) the Numbers USA video on this topic.

Malaysian Borneo set to deport Muslim illegal aliens

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Update:   Just posted this and here is news about the crackdown beginning.

Jumping to the other side of the globe (from Tennessee) today, here is a report from a few days ago about how the regional government in Borneo is going to begin a massive deportation of illegal immigrants and refugees from a region called Sabah.

KOTA KINABALU — Migrants from the Philippines and Indonesia who have flooded into Malaysian Borneo are being targeted with a massive deportation program, as the government comes under pressure to act.

The settlers have been blamed for waves of crime and creating a generation of stateless children who live in appalling conditions in the towns and villages of Sabah state.

The influx of mostly Muslim migrants has also tipped the ethnic balance against indigenous tribes who used to dominate the population, say politicians.

And, following on the theme of Demographic Conquest is this:

Dompok, leader of the UPKO party which is part of the Barisan Nasional coalition that has ruled Malaysia for half a century, said Sabahans have becoming increasingly concerned about the number of foreigners.

“I think the focus of those involved in illegal immigration during that time was to ensure there was a change in the demography of Sabah’s population,” he told Agence France-Presse.

Do I think this is a world wide plan, this demographic takeover?  Yup.  I think the word has been received, go forth into the land of the kufar and multiply.

I wanted to tell you about Dar-el-harb (the house of war) and found this clever board game.  Go here and laugh!
