DAR asked:

“Almost 400 women have been slain in Juarez since 1993, about 100 of them in similar ways, generally involving rape, strangulation and mutilation.

There’s no record of any deportations in the 1990s, but Granados pleaded guilty in 2001 to felony cocaine possession in exchange for 10 years probation and a promise to stay in Mexico and out of trouble. The probation was to be revoked if Granados re-entered the United States illegally, got caught with drugs or committed any crimes.

Granados did all that and more: Since receiving the probated sentence, he’s been arrested, charged or convicted on county, state and federal offenses in the United States at least six times, records show. His latest charge came in January, when he grabbed a television set in the county jail and smashed it on the floor, according to an El Paso sheriff’s deputy.”

That was in El Paso, a sanctuary city, however, and I guess they don’t like deportation orders.

What do you think?

sho ban – with environmental laws when they want to make sure something is enforced, they add a ‘citizens suit’ provision allowing citizens to sue the government to compell enforcement. I think we need that.

DAR asked:

“Records show Garcia-Morales was most recently deported March 3 to Mexico and previously forced to leave the United States on Sept. 27, 2004; April 15, 2004; Dec. 31, 2003; Oct. 4, 2003 and July 29, 2003. He was voluntarily deported Aug. 23, 2000.

Records show Garcia-Morales was convicted in September 2005 in Arizona on an illegal re-entry charge and sentenced to eight months in prison.

A year earlier he was arrested driving a 1989 Lincoln “loaded with concealed (smuggled) aliens” on Interstate 10 near Picaco, Ariz., records show.

Records also show Garcia-Morales was convicted of misdemeanor drug possession in Las Vegas in February 2000 and sentenced to 45 days as part of a plea agreement after he was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to sell, possession of an unregistered firearm and drawing a deadly weapon in a threatening manner.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James Brooks said at the Friday hearing that if Garcia-Morales is convicted, the maximum possible penalty is 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.”

So, this is enforcement? They didn’t even prosecute the human smuggling charge!

I’m gonna start another riot asked:

SIERRA VISTA — A Buena High School student is in jail on narcotics charges, and his family has been deported to Mexico, after the student was arrested on campus Monday.

Hector Romero Salazar, 18, is being held without bond at the Cochise County Jail in Bisbee, Cochise County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Carol Capas said.

Sierra Vista police Sgt. Daryl Copp said police responded to the high school, 5225 E. Buena School Blvd., Monday afternoon after school security reported a problem needing police attention.

On Wednesday, police would not say what the situation at the school was, but did say Salazar was arrested on “charges of a possession of narcotic drugs for sale on school grounds” on Monday.

According to records at the county jail, Salazar is charged with possession of a narcotic drug, possession of paraphernalia, possession of a dangerous drug and possession of a narcotic drug with intent to sell.

A U.S. Border Patrol hold is in place pending Salazar’s release from the county jail in order to officially sort out whether or not Salazar is in the country legally, Tucson Sector Border Patrol spokeswoman Dove Haber said.

Salazar’s arrest also led to police requesting a search warrant for his family’s home at 728 Four Winds Circle, which they received.

Salazar’s family has been deported to Mexico following the execution of a search warrant at the residence Tuesday, which turned up forged and illegal I-9 immigration paperwork, said Vincent Picard, a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement spokesman in Phoenix.

“We did take the members of Mr. Salazar’s family into custody, and they’ve been returned to Mexico,” Picard said.

Sierra Vista police officers conducted the search and seized the fraudulent immigration documents, Picard said.

Sierra Vista police reported that they also found cocaine, packaged for sale and having an estimated street value of $500 to $600, as they searched the home. http://www.svherald.com/articles/2008/01/31/news/doc47a16bec9d63f919507182.txt
Let me get this straight. The kid is arrested for drugs (probable felonies), but the parents are deported and not charged for forged federal documents/ID’s.

crack cocaine addiction

revjdouglas asked:

Many thanks in advance to those who reply,

My situation is simply this. My brother came to the U.S.A. at the age of 9 obtained a social security number, but went back to England at the age of 12. He never obtained a citizenship.

Fast forward to now, he is 39 and 4 years ago was found guilty of drug possession. Since then he has cleaned up etc etc. He now wants to move here with me, a US citizen.

With having a felony on his record, will this prevent him from obtaining a visa? Or will they restrict him to a certain time? Also can he ever become a citizen, granted he stays out of trouble etc?

Any web links would be helpful also.

James R asked:

The States of Mexico, are only 13. We would be better able to control the drug traffic and secure the borders from terrorists. The only way that they could get in would be through South America. And thats a very thin strip of land compared to the open border country from Texas to California. We could then influence mexicans to speak english, since it is the chosen laguage of the US. Their economy is terrible only because of corruption. Their mob actually runs the government. It would bring the US to sixty four states, heck, we could even bring in the Phillipines, for a round number of 65. The Phillipines and Puerto Rico are all ready US territories.

Beach Girl asked:

MEXICO CITY: President Felipe Calderon on Wednesday accused U.S. presidential candidates of “swaggering, macho and anti-Mexican” posturing and warned the U.S. Congress not to impose conditions on a $1.4 billion anti-drug aid package.

“The only theme in the (U.S.) electoral campaign is to compete to see who can be the most swaggering, macho and anti-Mexican,” Calderon told a local radio station, Enfoque. He did not name any particular candidate or party.

Mexican officials have been sharply disappointed at the failure of years of efforts to reform U.S. immigration policy to legalize the status of millions of undocumented Mexican workers in the United States.

“I find the greatest sensitivity in the U.S. government, some in Congress,” Calderon said, but said there was “a total lack of understanding and aggravation, hostility toward Mexico” among Americans in general.

Calderon also appeared to reject any added conditions on a proposed $1.4 billion U.S. anti-drug aid package that had been negotiated with American officials, saying, “I cannot accept any submission or subordination.”The proposal by the administration of President George W. Bush, dubbed the Merida Initiative, is meant to give Mexico aid, training and equipment to fight drug trafficking, which U.S. officials see as an American national security problem.

It still awaits approval in Congress, and some U.S. legislators have suggested the program may need safeguards to prevent corruption or human rights abuses by Mexican military and law enforcement personnel.

“I need that technology,” Calderon said. “Give it to me. And give it to me without conditions.”

Calderon also criticized U.S. involvement in Iraq, saying U.S. leaders were “spending Americans’ money and putting the government into debt to finance their military adventure, and that is squeezing out private investment.”

drug possession

King Oscar III asked:

Which will allow Mexicans to possess small amounts of cocaine, heroin, and even ectasy for their personal use. Do you think that this new law will cause immigration of vast numbers of American citizens into Mexico, and result in Mexico becoming an American colonial possession?

Good G asked:

Are simple Assault and Aggravated Assault (by wife’s broken nose) considered serious crime to start a extradition process?

Will Europe or Australia extradite someone to USA or Canada for this kind of crime?

Will Canada or USA request to EUROPE or AUSTRALIA a extradition for someone that committed this kind of crime?

According to my knowledge are considered serious crimes, crimes like murder, kidnapping, rape, drug traffic…but not assaults! Especially, simple assault a aggravated by wife’s broken nose!!!

Ann asked:

Go to CNSNEWS.COM then on left side key in Nicholas Martinez

Martinez (a illegal alien) sentenced to a year in jail after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine/endangering child/ using his young son to help sell cocaine.

The judge said he could not give probation after a plea bargain because of his immigration status, so he sentenced him to one year year in jail.

“Mr Martinez is illiegally in the counrtry and is in voilation of the probation rules right from the start if I place him on probation” said Judge Hannelore Kitts . He has to comply with all the conditions of the probation and he can’t do that because he’s in violation of the law not to violate any federal or states laws

But on appeal, a three judge panel threw out the sentence based on an apparent contradiction in U.S. law. While it is illegal to enter the country without the proper documents and permissions, it is not necessarily illegal to be in the country,
.
It went on to say the court explained that congress had implicitly created the distinction: While congress had criminalized the illegal entry into the USA it has not made the continued presence of a illegal alien in the USA a crime unless the illegal alien has previously been deported

I guess if you can get past the border guards and into the USA you’re no longer violating the law, according to a Kansas Court of Appeals
I do hope this is appealed and overturned
