State House passes Illinois version of DREAM Act for children of immigrants

enix - Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations discovered 108 illegal aliens at a drop house in west Phoenix Wednesday.

The agents, assigned to the ICE HSI Drop House Response Group in Phoenix, were drawn to the house by reports of multiple vehicles quickly entering and leaving the garage—activities that are consistent with human smuggling. The agents knocked on the front door and were given permission to enter. Inside, they discovered the aliens packed in every room of the four-bedroom house.


The aliens are from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. There were five teenage boys and 14 women found among the group.

Agents identified a number of suspected human smugglers at the scene and are interviewing those individuals and the other persons found inside the residence as part of an ongoing investigation into the broader smuggling scheme.

This was the largest drop house discovered in the Phoenix metropolitan area since March 2008 when 124 aliens were apprehended at a drop house in Peoria. It is the second largest drop house discovered since ICE began tracking them in January 2006.

Based on the law, can an Illinois resident and patriotic US citizen have Illinois Governor Quinn arrested for aiding known illegal aliens by signing the DREAM Act?

The DREAM Act claims it will help over 90,000 illegal alien students.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Il has a long history with migrant workers. there is, or used to be, a special welfare set aside for them to cover the cost of traveling through Ill and down further south,

Illinois Migrant council, was the name.

Most couldn't understand you until you told them "no denero". Then magically a person that spoke clear English would appear.

so illegals were all over the place. wait until legal kids can't get into college b/c the seats are filled with criminals and their children. You won't hear a peep.

Yes, we need those migrant workers to pick crops on State Street.

back again Gordo?.....what will this be your 4th banning from here?..

 

[Vindicator]

After years of seeing the Catholic Church treat Latinos as if they were the controlling body of the Church itself in the United States, it was refreshing to hear some in the Church that oppose what these invaders have been doing to the United States and question THEIR morality in doing. Even exposing the way lies have been made up to discredit American patriots for defending their country against this invasion of Latin Americans into the United States.

Do we not say that "well-ordered charity begins at home?" Given the reality and legitimacy of the sovereign nation, it is, therefore, important to state that free migration is not a basic human right. Frequent statements like "the Church stands with undocumented immigrants"[FONT=Garamond,Garamond][FONT=Garamond,Garamond]4 [/FONT][/FONT]can easily suggest the contrary. The vagueness of Church statements on immigration leaves one truly wondering what exactly it means to "stand with undocumented immigrants"?

Does the Catholic Church really stand against the citizens of the United States in favor of this invasion by foreigners?

The question then is, "To what extent is a nation, any nation, obliged to welcome anyone and everyone who wishes to enter it?" There is indeed tremendous, unfortunate economic disparity in the world. To speak of a "third world" is a grave embarrassment. But such a question is largely that of [FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro][FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]foreign policy[/FONT][/FONT], distinct from that of [FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro][FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]immigration policy[/FONT][/FONT]. Does the United States have an obligation to welcome anyone and everyone who wishes to cross her borders, and join her? Do Catholics have an obligation in charity to promote such policy, that is to say, an open-border policy? Does the common good of the universal human family truncate or negate the common good of the national family? Or, again, does well-ordered charity not begin at home?

Immigration policy is a question of respect for the common good. Protection of a nation’s borders is a question of respect for its common good. Such policy and such protection in no way preclude kindness and sensitivity. Enforcement of law is not necessarily a question of harshness (as is so often portrayed in the media).

Reference to respect for immigration law is so often made by the bishops who then, in the same breath, seem to invite [FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro][FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]dis[/FONT][/FONT]-respect for law. How could anyone want to enforce immigration law when they are pushed back against the wall, "Dare we look at them with and through the eyes of Christ for whom no one is illegal?"[FONT=Garamond,Garamond][FONT=Garamond,Garamond]5 [/FONT][/FONT]Such statements are ambiguous, and frankly guilt-inducing. Let us not forget that Jesus Christ said, "Render unto Caesar that which belongs to Caesar."[FONT=Garamond,Garamond][FONT=Garamond,Garamond]6 [/FONT][/FONT]Jesus had great respect for the reality of the state, and thus civil authority. To claim that someone who has entered a country illegally is law-abiding makes no sense, and is to suggest that immigration laws are morally irrelevant. Our welcome of immigrants ought to be [FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro][FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]generous[/FONT][/FONT], not unconditional. The latter is disrespectful of the common good.

The Hispanophone population is, by many standards, quite privileged. We are, in fact, in many places, experiencing the bilingualization of the United States with little or no input from the American people. What reasonable American would ever expect such privileges abroad? We are experiencing this bilingual phenomenon (to the exclusion, by the way, of other linguistic groups, including the 1.8 million French-speakers) when language is constitutive of the [FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro][FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]koinonia [/FONT][/FONT](fellowship or sharing) that maintains social cohesion — in the midst of other forms of diversity. A little trip to Belgium, for example, would erase any doubts about the cultural and national divisiveness of bilingualism.

I recall a recent year spent at a parish with a fairly large "Hispanic" population, such that there was a full-time associate pastor from El Salvador, to minister to them. In the parish there is a separate Religious Education program for this community within the community (that is to say, a fairly [FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro][FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]separate [/FONT][/FONT]community) when all of these young people attend the same schools as the larger body of the parish’s young people, are friends with them, and when many of them socialize among themselves in English. My office was next to that of this other associate pastor. Most of the time, I would hear the children playing in the hallway in English. And I was told that many of them actually wish to be part of the larger youth program.

When I asked this associate pastor why he supported the extra logistical and financial burden to the parish for a program that, as far as I could tell, was largely unnecessary, he told me that it was the parents who wanted it. Through interaction with some of the members of the "Hispanic" community (who were often invited to broader parochial gatherings, but most often declined the offer), I came to realize what I had heard and still hear in various circles: They have little intention of participating in the larger common good. They will do what they can to retain their cultural heritage even if it means creating a new, supposed "heritage" called "Hispanic," and even if it means ignoring the existent cultural reality that is "American."

He's basically stating what most Americans already know. That the hispanic community will only look after it's own and not participate in the greater world that Americans are involved in. This is a real threat to the security of the world if the hispanic population is allowed to grow.

The American people are understandably uncomfortable: when they see their neighborhoods quickly changing, large numbers of persons with whom they cannot communicate, large numbers of persons who sometimes do not seem to want to communicate with them, persons who, after many years in the United States, still refer to another country as their country. The discomfort is, once again, exacerbated when the important distinctions between civil duties and Christian duties is blurred. When an official statement
by members of the hierarchy includes in the definition of neighbor "undocumented immigrants" as though the distinction between legal and illegal is ethically neutral, and without articulating that obligations to the common good remain, light is not shed, but obscured.

The Church and the Promotion of Fair Immigration
[FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]
[FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]Moreover, fair immigration means allowing equal-opportunity immigration, which is not the current case in the United States. As Yale professor Amy Chua has written:[/FONT]
[FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]That the 11 million to 20 million illegal immigrants are 80 percent Mexican and Central American is itself a problem…if the U.S. immigration system is to reflect and further our ethnically neutral identity, it must itself be ethnically neutral, offering equal opportunity to Sudanese, Estonians, Burmese, and so on. The starkly disproportionate ratio of Latinos — reflecting geographical fortuity and a large measure of law-breaking — is inconsistent with this principle.[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Garamond,Garamond][FONT=Garamond,Garamond]7[/FONT]
[/FONT][FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]
[FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]As regards the question of fair immigration, two questions arise:[/FONT]
[FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]• Why is the Catholic Church in the United States not addressing the imbalance in immigration, i.e. the disproportionately high numbers from Mexico? Why does the Church seem to be contributing to it, for example, by equipping our seminarians to be able to exchange linguistically with them and no others from outside the Hispanophone world?[/FONT]
[FONT=Adobe Garamond Pro,Adobe Garamond Pro]• Why do we not decry the immigration policies of countries such as Mexico which make our borders look like the pearly gates?[/FONT]

This article was a refreshing change to the monotonous drone of misquotes from the bible and the LA RAZA propaganda that has infiltrated the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. We American Catholics have not yet been abandoned.

[Vindicator]

The Catholics are like the Democrats, using illegal aliens to grow their group.

But it must have backfired. More Hispanics are staying home on Sundays prefering to worship "I Love Lucy" on their 52" DTVs.

With more Hispanics staying home, less money is going into the collection box. More churches will close because Mexicans don't need God. They have Luis Gutierrez and the giant LA RAZA machine to tell them what to do.

 

[Vindicator]

Hispanic immigrants have seen the largest increase in out-of-wedlock births — from 19 percent of births in 1980 to 42 percent in 2003. This is important because Hispanics account for nearly 60 percent of all births to immigrants.

The illegitimate children of immigrants also often have to overcome their parents’ low education levels. In 2003, 56 percent of illegitimate births to immigrants were to mothers without a high school
diploma; for natives the rate was 33 percent. It was 65 percent for Hispanic immigrants.

Illegitimacy also can be measured by the share of unmarried women who give birth. One out of every 12 unmarried immigrant women had a baby in 2003; for natives it was one out of 25. For Hispanic immigrants it was one in seven.

Another reason to think illegitimacy is more related to culture than legal status is that college-educated Hispanic immigrants, only a small share of whom are illegal, still have triple the rate of illegitimacy as college educated natives.

Education Levels and Immigration Policy.

In terms of immigration policy, allowing in only college graduates would substantially reduce the number and share of unmarried births to immigrants. Like their native-born counterparts, only immigrants with a college degree have what can be described as low rates of out-of-wedlock births. So if the goal were to select immigrants who are unlikely to have illegitimate children, it would probably mean immigration should be limited to only college graduates or at least only those with some college.

Table 2 sheds light on the issue of illegitimacy among illegal immigrants. The table shows that illegitimacy among immigrant Hispanics does not vary as much by education as it does for natives. This suggests that cultural factors are more likely play a significant role in illegitimacy than does legal status. If legal status exerted an important influence, then illegitimacy should decline very dramatically with education because the share of Hispanics in the more-educated categories who are illegal is much lower than in the less-educated categorizes. Yet Table 2 shows relatively modest declines in illegitimacy by education among Hispanic immigrants compared to natives. For example, the difference between dropout Hispanic immigrants and high school graduate Hispanic immigrants is only 5.8 percentage points; between high school graduates and those with some college it’s only 9 percentage points; and between those with some college and those with at least a bachelors degree it’s around 14.1 percentage points. In contrast, the corresponding differences for all natives are 24.5, 18.4, and 22.7 percentage points. In other words, as you move up the educational distribution among natives, illegitimacy declines dramatically in a way it does not for Hispanic immigrants.

The irony is that the Catholic Church will soon be broke too. Mexicans are not going to church the way LA RAZA propaganda pictures them. They are too into themselves.

 

[Vindicator]

Anytime you start feeling sorry for Mexicans, remember they committed the first attrocities on Americans.



On this date in 1836 — Palm Sunday, as it happened — over 300 Anglo POWs fighting to separate Texas from Mexico were executed en masse outside Goliad’s fortress
Less widely celebrated than the Battle of the Alamo preceding it by a fortnight, the Battle of Coleto on March 19-20 had seen Mexican troops surround and capture another force of Texians at Goliad.

Unaware of a Mexican order issued the previous December to execute foreign prisoners,* the men under Col. J.W. Fannin — a dithering commander whose military competence didn’t quite equal his romantic aspirations — expected to be released in a matter of weeks. They were marched out this morning on some innocuous pretext and had bare moments to apprehend their impending fate before their guards mowed them down. (Fannin was individually shot apart from his troops.)
Nineteenth-century musketry was a mediocre tool for mass slaughter, especially when the targets were nearly as many as their executioners. A number of prisoners survived the volley and managed to escape the subsequent cavalry charge and bayoneting by leaping into a nearby river. A fortunate few others were intentionally preserved. This thorough site on the massacre** preserves several survivor accounts.
These memoirs also detail life in the unit and troop maneuvers that are certainly of interest; in these pages, of course, we are most drawn to the accounts of those who stared death in the face — like this (understandably melodramatic) description by Herman Ehrenberg:

Either life or death! Behind were the bayonets of the murderers, and before me was the sword of a coward that crossed my way to the saving stream. Determinedly I rushed upon him. Forward I must go, and — the coward took flight in characteristic Mexican gallantry. Now the path was open, near was the point of my escape.
…
Arriving at the other bank of the river, I looked around once more to where my comrades were dying, while the bullets of the still firing enemies whistled about me. The hellish exaltations of the enemy mixed with the cries of pain of my dying brothers sounded over to me. What feelings took possession of me here! I cast another look and a farewell greeting to my dead companions and turned to flee. I had to hasten if I did not wish to fall into the hands of the lancers who were now on this side of the river less than a half a mile below me.
​

Which makes an interesting stylistic contrast with the story of John C. Duval, similar in its events but strikingly low-key, even ironic:

Some one near me exclaimed “Boys! they are going to shoot us!” and at the same instant I heard the clicking of a musket locks all along the Mexican line. I turned to look, and as I did so, the Mexicans fired upon us, killing probably one hundred out of the one hundred and fifty men in the division. We were in the double file and I was in the rear rank. The man in front of me was shot dead, and in falling he knocked me down. I didn’t get up for a minute, and when I rose to my feet, I found that the whole Mexican line had charged over me, and were in hot pursuit of those who had not been shot and who were fleeing towards the river about five hundred yards distant. I followed on after them, for I knew that escape in any direction (all open prairie) would be impossible, and I had nearly reached the river before it became necessary to make my way through the Mexican line ahead. As I did so, one of the soldiers charged upon me with his bayonet (his gun I suppose being empty). As he drew his musket back to make a lunge at me, one of our men coming from another direction, ran between us, and the bayonet was driven through his body. The blow was given with such force, that in falling, the man probably wrenched or twisted the bayonet in such a way as to prevent the Mexican from withdrawing it immediately. I saw him put his foot upon the man, and make an ineffectual attempt to extricate the bayonet from his body, but one look satisfied me, as I was somewhat in a hurry just then, and I hastened to the bank of the river and plunged in. The river at that point was deep and swift, but not wide, and being a good swimmer, I soon gained the opposite bank, untouched by any of the bullets that were pattering in the water around my head.

Which is why at the Battle of San Jacinto, an American who was busy shooting the Mexican soldiers was quoted as saying,

"If Jesus Christ had come down from heaven and ordered me to stop killing yellowbellies (Mexican soldiers) I wouldn't do it!"

Now let us all hear the LA RAZA propaganda that will try to minimize what the Mexicans did.
