El' Beaner Illegals News Reports Man not deported after 14 arrests
Friday, 06/16/06
Feds not aware of immigrant's cases

Staff Writer
Federal and local authorities are trying to figure out how an illegal immigrant from Mexico managed to avoid deportation despite being arrested more than a dozen times in the past five years, agency officials said Thursday.
Gustavo Reyes Garcia, 28, has accumulated dozens of criminal charges and been arrested 14 times in Nashville without being flagged by federal authorities for being in the country illegally.
He caught their attention after he was accused of killing two people on June 8. It was his 15th arrest.
"The jail management records do not show a federal hold placed on Garcia, except for the one that he has now," said Karla Crocker, spokeswoman for the Davidson County Sheriff's Office.
Garcia stands accused of drinking, getting behind the wheel of an SUV and killing Mt. Juliet couple Sean and Donna Wilson while fleeing from police last week.
Garcia and a man driving in a third vehicle also were injured in the wreck on Old Hickory Boulevard near Southfork Boulevard.
Metro General Sessions Judge Gloria Dumas bound his case over to the Davidson County grand jury after a preliminary hearing on Thursday.
Garcia's past charges include four DUI arrests, evading arrest, and two separate incidents in which he was accused of leaving the scene of an accident where there was bodily injury.
Law enforcement officials could not explain yesterday how he managed to escape the attention of immigration authorities in the past.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said she would have to research Garcia's case to see if federal officials were notified of his arrests in the past.
Garcia is being held in the Metro Jail, charged with two counts of vehicular homicide and evading arrest.

Vanload of Illegal Aliens Surface in Belmont County
Posted 6/20/2006 07:46 PM
Where are they now?
Story by D.K. Wright
Not uno, dos, but veinte or 20 illegal aliens were discovered at three o'clock Tuesday morning. A Belmont County Sheriff's Deputy stopped the vehicle for a traffic violation and asked the occupants to step out. When they did, the deputy got quite a surprise in their sheer numbers. The youngest was 14.
The most amazing part of this story...is the Sheriff's Department called the Immigration and Naturalization Service. I-N-S said they didn't want the aliens. They told the deputies to let them go. They had no other option...so the aliens are now back on the road.

(El' JosBEDSPREAD Commentary)
They were stopped at 0300 hrs. on INTERSTATE HIGHWAY driving on the wrong side of the road. Three (I believe) had been previously deported.
They said they were on their way to a job in Manassas, VA.
I guess being an illegal negates one from basic traffic law...

U.S. Population to Hit 300 Million This Fall
Sunday , June 25, 2006
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S. population is on target to hit 300 million this fall and it is a good bet the milestone baby — or immigrant — will be Hispanic.
No one will know for sure because the date and time will be just an estimate.
But both Latino immigrants and those born in the United States are driving the population growth, accounting for almost half the increase last year, more than any other ethnic or racial group.
White non-Hispanics, who make up about two-thirds of the population, accounted for less than one-fifth of the increase.
When the population reached 200 million in 1967, there was no accurate tally of U.S. Hispanics. The first effort to count Hispanics came in the 1970 census, and the results were dubious.
The Census Bureau counted about 9.6 million Latinos, a little less than 5 percent of the population, but the bureau acknowledged that figure was inflated.
In 1967, there were fewer than 10 million people in the U.S. who were born in other countries; that was not even one in 20.
Today, there are 36 million immigrants, about one in eight.
"We were much more of an insular society back then," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.
As of early Sunday, there were 299,058,932 people in the United States, according to the Census Bureau's population clock. The estimate is based on annual numbers for births, deaths and immigration, averaged throughout the year.
The 300 millionth person in the U.S. will likely be born — or cross the border — in October, though bureau officials are wary of committing to a particular month because of the subjective nature of the clock.

Two New York Men Charged With Smuggling Illegal Aliens Into U.S. From Canada
Tuesday , June 27, 2006
Associated Press
DERBY LINE, Vt. — Two New York men have been charged with smuggling 21 illegal aliens into Vermont from Canada.
Border Patrol agents said they stopped two vans carrying 21 passengers on Sunday. The passengers were from Afghanistan, Guyana, India, Mexico (where else?) and Pakistan, and did not have the proper documents to enter the United States, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.
Robert Clark, 56, and Wilfred Nieves, 47, of New York City, have been charged with transporting illegal aliens.
Clark and Nieves each crossed the U.S.-Canada border in Derby Line without stopping at the inspection station and headed south on Interstate 91, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Border Patrol agents pulled over the vans and discovered the illegal aliens, prosecutors said.
Clark and Nieves face up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of the charges.

Supreme Court Rules Against Foreign Suspects Arrested in U.S Wednesday, June 28, 2006
Associated Press- FOX NEWS.com
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled against two foreign suspects Wednesday who argued an international treaty required police to inform them that they had a right to contact their governments when they were arrested.
By a 6-3 vote, justices did not decide whether a 1969 treaty signed by the United States and several other countries requires suspects to be informed of such a right.
Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said the two men — one from Honduras, the other from Mexico — are not entitled to suppression of statements to police or another chance to raise objections based on the treaty after failing to do so at trial.
Roberts said such remedies are too harsh for the treaty's requirement — if it exists — that only deals with notification and does not require consulates to provide assistance to suspects.
The United States is one of 168 countries that signed the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, which requires "competent authorities" to tell a consulate when one of its citizens has been arrested.
But police in the United States do not routinely tell arrested foreign nationals they can call their consulates.
Even if police fail to inform suspects of a right to contact their consulates, Roberts said, the failure is unlikely to have any connection to the statements they make to officers or the evidence gathered in an investigation.
Roberts said foreign suspects have the same protections that U.S. citizens have when arrested: the right to due process and the right to an attorney.
The chief justice went to great lengths to avoid being dismissive of international law, a sore subject with conservatives who have accused the high court of relying too much on the laws of other nations in high-profile cases.
"Our holding in no way disparages the importance of the Vienna Convention," Roberts wrote.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg sided with Roberts in ruling against the two foreign suspects. But she parted with the majority, saying there may be times when suppression of statements made to police might be necessary.
In a dissent, Justice Stephen Breyer criticized the majority for dodging the big issue of whether foreign suspects can claim a treaty violation if police fail to inform them of their rights to contact their governments.
Breyer said the majority decision is "unprecedented" because it ignores years of international law and "increases the difficulties" the United States will face in ensuring that its citizens — when arrested abroad — are treated fairly.
In 2004, the Supreme Court dodged another case dealing with a similar issue.
In this case, Moises Sanchez-Llamas, a Mexican national, sought to suppress incriminating statements he made after his arrest for wounding an Oregon police officer in 1999. He was given — and waived — a Miranda warning, but he was not told he could contact the Mexican consulate.
Mario Bustillo, a citizen of Honduras, wanted a new trial so he could present newly discovered evidence that another Honduran committed the crime. The Honduran government said had it been contacted at the time, it could have helped locate the other suspect, who had returned to Honduras after the killing.
The cases are Bustillo v. Johnson, 05-51, and Sanchez-Llamas v. Oregon, 04-10566

Longtime Illegal Residents Lose Battle to Supreme Court Thursday , June 22, 2006
Associated Press- FOX NEWS.com
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday dealt a blow to some longtime illegal residents, upholding the deportation of a Mexican man who lived in the United States for 20 years.
By an 8-1 vote, justices said that Humberto Fernandez-Vargas, who was deported several times from the 1970s to 1981, is subject to a 1996 law Congress passed to streamline the legal process for expelling aliens who have been deported at least once before and returned.
After his last deportation in 1981, Fernandez-Vargas returned to the United States, fathered a child, started a trucking company in Utah and eventually married his longtime companion, a U.S. citizen.GET 'EM JosB!...
...damn...Marry a white girl...have a baby beaner...and start a trucking company in just one fence jump! Is this AMERIKA or what?
But by the time he applied for legal status — after his marriage in 2001 — Congress had passed the Illegal Immigration and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which revoked the right to appeal to an immigration judge an order of removal.
Fernandez-Vargas was sent back to Mexico in 2004, and wanted to return to his family in the United States. He argued that the 1996 law should not be applied to him because he last entered America more than a decade before Congress passed the statute.
"Fernandez-Vargas continued to violate the law by remaining in this country day after day and ... the United States was entitled to bring that continuing violation to an end," Justice David Souter wrote in the decision.
It was unclear how broad of an impact the ruling would have.
Bush will veto it...not to worry...
Souter said that unlawful immigrants like Fernandez-Vargas should have known about the 1996 law and taken "advantage of a grace period."
The case is Fernandez-Vargas v. Gonzales, 04-1376. :roll:

I could see people leaving mexico if the whole place was like some baron wasteland, but it's not. These people should just stay home and fix up their own place instead of breaking into some other place. We got enough problems without leaving the backdoor open so everyone on planet earth can slip in and raid the place :twisted:

House OKs Funding for NASA, Mars Mission
Thursday , June 29, 2006
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush's plan to send man to Mars in coming decades received a green light Thursday as the House passed a bill funding the annual budgets of NASA and the departments of Commerce, Justice and State.
The bill passed after a meandering three-day debate that touched on everything from medical marijuana laws to the Pacific Northwest's troubled salmon fishery. Along the way, House lawmakers endorsed the Supreme Court's ruling to permit evidence seized in violation of long-standing "knock and announce" rules and endorsed bilingual ballots for citizens whose native language isn't English.
The bill, which covers the annual budgets of the departments of Commerce, State and Justice and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is the 10th of 11 annual spending bills to pass the House in a tight budget climate that has lawmakers bemoaning cuts across a wide spectrum of programs. This comes even as GOP core voters worry that Congress is being too fast and loose with taxpayers' money.

Mexican Police Find More Human Heads in Acapulco
Friday , June 30, 2006
Associated Press-
ACAPULCO, Mexico — Authorities on Friday found two human heads in front of a state government office in this Pacific coast resort, a day after a similar grisly discovery was made outside the main entrance to City Hall.
The heads were accompanied by a note that read, "One more message, dirtbags, so that you learn to respect." They were dumped in front of the Guerrero state Finance Department where the heads of two decapitated police officers were left in April with a similar note that warned, "So that you learn to respect."
Four drug traffickers were killed during a shootout with law enforcement outside the office earlier this year.
Authorities were trying to determine if the heads found Friday belonged to two decapitated bodies also discovered Friday dumped in a vacant lot on the edge of Acapulco, near the small beach community of Pie de La Cuesta.
Neither the heads nor the bodies have been identified.
Must not have had a green card... :roll:
On Thursday, police found the head of former Mexican solider, Hugo Carpio Garcia, by the main entrance to City Hall with a similar note signed by "Z," which authorities said was an attempt to link the death to "Las Zetas," a group of former elite Mexican soldiers who now work for the Gulf drug cartel.
Earlier this month, a severed human head washed up on the beach in the heart of Acapulco's tourist zone.
I've heard of Hangin Ten...But never this...
Acapulco, located 180 miles southwest of Mexico City, has been shaken this year by more than a dozen high-profile gun slayings as well as several grenade attacks on police stations. Federal investigators link the violence to a turf war between drug gangs in northern Mexico for lucrative smuggling routes into the United States.

Dear President George W. Bush and All Members of Congress:
Immigrants do not take American jobs. The American economy can create as many jobs as there are workers willing to work so long as labor markets remain free, flexible and open to all workers on an equal basis.
American Signatories
college professor's dumb & dumber
Foreign Signatories
college professor's wanting to come and get a job
Legitimate concerns about the impact of immigration on the poorest Americans should not be addressed by penalizing even poorer immigrants. Instead, we should promote policies, such as improving our education system, that enable Americans to be more productive with high-wage skills.
spend more money on education so they can get higher wages and get their friends and relatives jobs at the university :roll:
I can't picture the dweller creatures attending a university to enable them to become more productive americans and move into higher wage-skill jobs. Homer Simpson is what I picture. Bad enough they are at the controls of a 80,000lb truck,no need to give them a nuke plant to wreck :shock:
The American economy can create as many jobs as there are workers willing to work
500 college professors signed that and somehow the way to get ahead is more education and they are going to be the source of it :lol: :lol:
America is dragged down because of the flow of immigrants compared to other countries that control the flow of immigrants. Sure if Juan will wax my car for $1.00 I will let him and that creates a job for him,but he just becomes another victim of poverty wages.If He says $20.00 I'll say never mind I'll do it myself.

They might have more info in their memory bank called a brain,being able to make use of the info in a logical manner is called intelligance.
A computer contains massive amounts of information,it can't think at all.just regurgitate infomation.
Places like sweden,norway have higher standards of living because they don't have an endless stream of 3rd world people dragging them down.

"They might have more info in their memory bank called a brain,being able to make use of the info in a logical manner is called intelligance."
Yes, that is the purpose of 'education', utilizing info to solve problems. The less info you have, the less likely you are to solve the problem. But, the less info you have means you get to make bigoted racial remarks to support your position. That's always fun, eh??
