THE BORDER REPORT
The outrage has simmered throughout the country for a few days now, with activists calling for a boycott of Arizona after the passage of the first state bill in the nation that criminalizes illegal immigrants. The loudest voices seem to think the status quo of sustaining what’s essentially a slave labor class is a solution. Well, no; it’s not.
Most of the economic threats I’m reading about this morning are weak bluster with no teeth, particularly the loudest voices, the San Francisco, Calif., Board of Supervisors and the League of United Latin American Citizens.
I’ll put aside my most immediate concerns for the moment about 1070, the threat of racial profiling and the challenge to Fourth Amendment protections for U.S. citizens; because these two boycott threats in particular are focusing on illegal immigration.
Here’s a San Francisco Supervisor being interviewed:
Immigration should be treated “not as a police enforcement issue, but as a human rights issue, as a social issue,” Supervisor John Avalos tells the San Francisco Chronicle.
Think about what they’re saying here. They don’t seem to have the slightest idea of what people go through to get into this country and get a job scrubbing our toilets. Every year, some 300,000 people cross the border illegally into the United States. On average, one dies about every day.
They come into the U.S. undocumented, take poorly-paying jobs with little or no basic benefits like health care and live in slum conditions. Another average of one a day die in these jobs because there’s little federal oversight into working conditions. Those with legitimate employment pay into a Social Security fund they will never see a nickel of because they are equipped with someone else’s Social Security number. Illegal migrants are exploited; and this is a human right?
Illegal immigrants are shit upon by every facet of society.
The liberal bastion that complain about East L.A. sweatshops and unfair labor laws are the first to clamor on about “human rights” every time U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pull a workplace raid as if sustaining a slave labor class is acceptable.
The conservatives, those who aren’t simply racist, see no problem employing illegal immigrants at reduced costs using the pretext that nobody works harder than a Mexican.
The Mexican government, always silent about its people’s living conditions in the U.S., now complain that 1070 is dangerous to its citizenry. This method of passage into the U.S. is apparently of no concern to Mexico City:
Earlier this month, I covered a story in Phoenix about a shuttle van smuggling case that the Feds took down. The arrests swept across Arizona with more than 50 people taken down and came within two days of the state senate’s approving 1070. At a press conference I covered later that day, Assistant ICE Secretary John Morton was asked about 1070 and the idea of Arizona enforcing federal immigration law.
“We need federal comprehensive immigration reform,” Morton responded. “What we don’t need is a patchwork of state laws.”
He’s right; so where is it? I’ve been hearing about federal comprehensive immigration reform since January 2004 when Pres. George Bush gave his famous “our borders are broken” speech.
With the passage of the healthcare bill last month, it was believed Obama would start in on immigration reform because of the healthcare bill’s backing by the Hispanic Caucus.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid swore two weeks ago that immigration reform would be introduced to the Senate floor in 2010. He’s wrong. Congress is tackling jobs and energy legislation right now, then the Supreme Court nominations are coming up in the summer. By the fall, when Congress returns from vacation, mid-term elections will be coming up and every legislator will be busy campaigning.
Of course, that was before 1070 became a real issue. Arizona just lobbed a frag grenade into the comfort policy of ignoring illegal immigrants. People around the country are hell-bent on punishing Arizona for the bill but so far, there has been no other action taken that comes close to forcing the management of immigration out of the shadows and onto the table.
liberan a la esposa del ”H”
La víctima estaba atada de pies y manos
Redacción EXPRESO.
HERMOSILLO SONORA
Rebeca Laborín Archuleta, quien fue privada de su libertad hace 14 días por un comando armado en la colonia Alameda, apareció con vida en los campos deportivos de la Unison, donde los secuestradores dejaron también un “narcomensaje”.
Los hechos ocurrieron a las 6:15 de la mañana cuando reportaron a la Policía Municipal que el cuerpo de una persona había sido abandonado sobre la banqueta poniente de la calle Reforma entre Colosio y Navarrete.
Según versiones de los testigos, dos hombres llegaron al lugar a bordo de un vehículo Chevrolet Malibú, color gris, bajaron a la mujer y la dejaron tirada sobre la banqueta a escasos metros del gimnasio de la Unison.
La víctima tenía una venda elástica sobre la cabeza y estaba atada de pies y manos con cinta gris. A un lado de ella fue dejada también una cartulina con un mensaje directo al Cártel de los Beltrán Leyva.
“Nosotros te vamos a enseñar a ser hombre y a respetar a la familia, asesino de niños Héctor Beltrán Leyva, aquí está tu esposa por la que no quisiste responder, te la entrego viva y sana para que veas y aprendas que para nosotros la familia es sagrada, poco hombre culero”, reza la cartulina.
La víctima fue trasladada al Hospital General donde le diagnosticaron golpes contusos leves por lo cual fue dada de alta.
El Ministerio Público integró una averiguación previa, pero Laborín Archuleta decidió no interponer denuncia alguna ni siquiera por la privación ilegal de la libertad.

******************************
Not all undocumented workers are working at slave labor jobs and living in slum conditions. Many work at decent paying construction jobs and even manage to buy homes. You can also get a federal tax-id number and get your over-paid taxes returned. I know many people who are undocumented and use a federal tax-id number to file a tax return.

The problem is that a lot of people do not understand that there is a very long and difficult process to enter this country legally. It has gotten worse oven the years especially for mexicans. People do not understand the devastation that NAFTA has caused to mexico’s agriculture and small businesses. The flow of immigration has increased after NAFTA went into effect because a lot of these “illegals” used to live of agriculture. Do not understand that is not easy to be an illegal yet people do it because is better than the life they had lived before. A lot of illegals do pay taxes since they use a fake SSN. They pay into social security and they will never get a penny of it. The problem with this law is that it does not fix immigration. There is already a law in place that let officers turn illegals to the feds when they are detained braking the laws. But now they do not need a reason to stop people. They can use “reasonable suspicion” what exactly is that? No one can explain. My husband can be stopped but I guarantee you he will not be asked to show proof of citizenship since he is white skin and blue eyed. I could be stop and I know for sure I will be asked since I am pretty dark skinned, have an accent even though I am a citizen. Heck I could be walking with my kids and since they all look white I could be stopped by an officer suspecting me to be an “ilegal nanny” and yes the law will allow them to do that. That is the problem with this law that it targets certain individuals because is open to interpretation. I could be at a park or restaurant speaking spanish and could be asked to show proof of citizenship just because I am brown.

Great post. Thanks. First person accounts are invaluable. You’ve just described the true nature and consequences of this evil law. And the feelings of most of my beloved Mexican-American friends and neighbors here in Santa Cruz County, Arizona.

Wow there are a lot of posts on here that make peoples jaws drop, but I never thought I’d read one that makes me feel sick. Michael said “Congress is tackling jobs and energy legislation right now” Oh really they are trying to fix the economy how by spending money on projects that have created no real jobs, have you seen the unemployment? Now they want a VAT tax to pay for spending beyond their means?! Energy legislation….what energy legislation, the gov should start on building 50 new nuke plants that is the future. The only energy legislation they know is tax tax tax.
Do you really think that Obama is going to tackle immigration reform? That pendejo lost all of his political capital with health-care reform. Health-care reform will not be implemented there is no money for it. He was never going to fix immigration because they do not give a rats ass about the hispanics! We are the hired help!
Hispanics vote like lemmings for the Democrats because they are for the poor, but look what they have done for the blacks and the natives…nada! On larry king live last night they had Al Sharpton talking about this immigration law. What they couldn’t find a light skinned and well spoken hispanic instead?
With this law the republicans called Obamas number. Toma hijo de petunia! Haz algo! Read my lips there will be no immigration reform there will be no more jobs, there wont be amnesty! You will remember the day you cast the vote for that pendejo the rest of your life and you will have some explaining to do to your children and your grand children.
I am sorry we cannot fix mexicos problems. I too wish we could just let everyone come here and find a good job so that they too can have the American Dream. The system is broken right now there are no jobs for americans, people cannot afford their homes and there is no hope and change in sight….that is until November!

I don’t think anyone could have held off the economic crisis we are in. I certainly do not think Sara Palin and “whats his name” could have (lol). I thought all along that Bush had caved the US economy to a point that a depression would result. We aren’t in a recession, this is a depression. Obama was the poor figurehead that took office at the wrong time. Trust me, we have a long way before this crisis Bush and his cronies created is resolved and I don’t think we have the leadership in office to do it. The only thing that separates this from previous depressions is that the market has not caved. It is being manipulated so badly that it is being proped up with tooth picks. This economy is Bush’s creation and it will be blamed on Obama. Bush did the same thing to the Texas economy when he was Governer here. He left it in bad shape and went to the Presidency and fooked the US.

This will probably be my last comment. But before I go, I’ll leave you with this:
Initially they may end up working in relatively undignified jobs, but their children and their grandchildren might have a chance at a better life in the United States. They wouldn’t have to be born into wealth like most people in Latin America, in order to become a doctor, a lawyer, or even a journalist. In order to have a rather decent education and eventally a better future. It’s the story of most Hispanics or Latinos (whatever you prefer to be called) who come here in search of a better life. It was the Italian’s story when they arrived in New York and the same goes for the Irish in New England (think JFK). So, you can argue that deeming jobs for migrants are not worth it, but there is a reason why most people risk their lives to come here. It’s the same reason why so many Cubans risk their lives at sea in order to reach land. And you can’t reduce that kind of hope with words. It’s my story, my nieces and nephews (the first generation of my family born in the U.S.). And eventually it will be my children’s story, but I highly doubt they will ever have to deal with unfounded discrimination or harassment, because their mother is going to be one of the best defense attorneys in the country.

MEXICO CITY – The Mexican state of Sonora says it won’t attend a decades-old cooperation meeting with Arizona this June after the passage of the state’s tough immigration enforcement law.
The government of Sonora, which borders Arizona, says the move isn’t “about a breaking of relations with Arizona, but rather a way to protest the approval of the law.”
The measure makes it a crime to be an illegal immigrant and will require police to question people about their immigration status is they suspect they’re in the country illegally.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon (kahl-duh-ROHN’) says the law “opens the door to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement.” He warns trade and political ties with Arizona will be “seriously affected,” although he announced no concrete measures.

Might he need to take a look at his military and consider rape, torture, kidnapping, extortion, and murder which is happening all day everyday all across Mexico as something he might need to look at.

I happen to be one of those ‘evil’ conservatives you mentioned. The only problem I have with immigration is the word ‘illegal’. If you came into this country illegally, you have no right to be here. There is no doubt most businesses really screw the illegals over but an effect that has not been mentioned is the overall lowering of wages. Ronald Regan started this mess with his amnesty bill in the 1980′s, NAFTA definitely made it worse for the Mexican people and another act of amnesty for those illegals here will only increase the U.S.’s
border problems and Mexico’s problems in the future. I just wish I was a genius instead of a Texan living in Tucson and had a fix for Mexico’s current problems because I really love Mexico and the Mexican people but I am even afraid to travel to Rocky Point now. Sorry, did not mean to get off the subject.

@ RON…What made our nation stand out from other nations is our 2 party system. It was a great system until the media got too involved with manipulating voters and this became big in the Reagan era. The bad thing about it is that a democrat and a republican should be able to sit and have healthy discussions about their belief and politics. This is not the case today. It is like the other is the enemy and “evil.” Negotiation was what this system was built on and I see a bunch of power hungry polititions that really aren’t that bright trying to make names for themselves instead of negotiating.
I think America needs a third party, The Radical Party. It might put some creative thinking in politics. I am tired of hearing lame platforms where people get elected for their abortion and getting tougher on crime views. It certainly would bring new ideas and negotiation.

I hear you on Mexico. I really do. And conservatives are getting a lot of flak on this one. But AZ just went completely off the rails on this one, and AZ’s ‘conservatives’ have let it happen and egged it on for so long and courted all the wrong people that anything your side is saying at this point …. it really ain’t helping.

Sustaining a slave labor class? they come here voluntarily and are happy to come here to work for low wages. would you trek through northern border to canada if they paid you say 200, 000 us dollars to lets say write articles, shovel snow, wait tables etc… throw in, that the worst that can happen to you is that you get caught by the Canadian Royal Mounted Police , get thrown into a tank for a few hours with your fellow countrymen and then get dropped off at a port right on the border. if you don’t like the sounds of that then simply do not go and keep your current brutal sadistic wages that everyone else is having to live with. i know it blows to make 10.00 a day when the price of milk gas and food is damn near comparable to the US but in mexico education is gratis and few seem to care about education in mexico. drop out rates are insane. No on seems to be starving and there is nothing wrong with a simple life and diet. i know a happy hippie who lives on 4,000 a year trust fund. His biggest expense is a cigarette rolling machine once a year- no shit. oh and don’t call me a racist… that seems to everyones trump card nowadays. ill break out my reverse racist card just as fast.
the loudest voices on the immigration bill- jesse jackson and al sharpton, WTF is up with that. i dont have a problem with their race and the fact that they are speaking for the latino community, what i have a problem with is that they are usually on the wrong end of things and have little credibility left.

The melting pot of Florida! And we try not to discriminate each other, even if we don’t do a good job at it. Mostly due to the fact that among the Cuban American community, most are right-wing Republicans. I think many are still very upset over the whole Bay of Pigs fiasco, which was almost half a century ago. On a positive note, some of the younger generation is moving towards the middle, so there’s still hope 
Okay, so perhaps we don’t melt harmoniously around here, but at least we blend well and a lot of us speak Spanish. It’s actually pretty sad to think that people have to be in search of a sanctuary – it’s truly unfortunate.

I like to see some of the statistics some of you use. None of those are even close to reflect what is reality. Arizona’s crime rate, other than identity theft, is really low campared to other metro areas of the same size. If you think Phoenix is bad, come to Detroit. All of you sissies would piss your pants. Burnt out buildings, murder, robberies off the charts. Arizona is a joke.
Arizona is a police state. There are so many snitches and tweakers in Arizona, the cops manipulate any statistic they want. I can’t stand Janet Napolitano. But do you think that lady would have ever done what Jan Brewer did? Hell no. Jan Brewer got sucked in by the phoenix law crowd. In the end she will pay the price. Political suicide. I don’t believe for one minute that the Mexican Americans in Arizona are on board with this law. Every one that I have talked to, other than you commie assholes here, have told me that they don’t agree with it, because the law is vague and affects everyone. Their concerns have nothing to do with the local manipulated crime statistics. I pitty some of you misguided fooks.

I’m quite confused here. America belongs to Americans, not illegal immigrants. Why is that so hard to understand? We’re just trying to protect our country.

I just spent 20 minutes reviewing crime statistics (based on everything that is reported and everything that should have been reported to law enforcement agencies). None of the cities in Arizona break into the top 20 in any of the lists for 2009 or 2010. I simply googled “most dangerous cities in the United States.” And according to CNN, Detroit is “one of the most dangerous cities in the world.” Juarez, Mexico, is also listed as one of the most dangerous in the world.
Apparently, I should be complaining about crime (since Miami is listed in every list U.S. list), but I must be use to it or suffering from “crime stockholm syndrome.”

They are simply tired of dealing with illegals..I think the media blows this subject out of proportion in certain states..Arizona has alot of out of state people(Mostly Midwest old folks) who move there to retire are are easily persuaded since they dont see alot of that in the Midwest.People have been led to belive that illegals are the scum of the earth down there..Anything with the words “ILLEGAL ALIEN” is guarenteed press..It makes me suspect of certain media souces and what there intentions really are.I dont even know if illegals are still comming into this country at such an alarming rate compared to last decade..
People in Mexico I assume know we are in recession so is it really that big of a deal?? Do they really have that big of a problem in AZ?? I dont know, I live in the Midwest.. I dont really have a problem with them comming here and working and going back to their family but at this point in time we dont have the resources or the jobs for them..Maybe the Mexican media should work on explaining that.

I agree… I’ve never been to Arizona and I’ll probably never visit, but they’re making it seem like you can’t walk down the street because you’ll get shot and rapped. I’m begining to think that a lot is being exaggerated. Really, if it’s that bad, they can always move to Detroit or Cleveland.
MSNBC is having a field day with Arizona right now, well at least Olbermann and Maddow are.
Olbermann has a couple of videos up titled as follows: 1) “AZ sheriff rejects immigration law,” 2)”Is Arizona breaking federal laws?” 3)”Doctor suggests chipping immigrants,” and “GOP split over Arizona immigration law.”
I need to get Olbermann’s bobblehead, I love him and I would totally marry him.
And according to the New York Times blog, someone thinks we should boycott Arizona Iced Tea , but the company is based in New York. Even tea that’s made in New York is getting crap for this!

You are absolutely right, Bro. Let me tell you wat happened to me in 1994. One morning at 5:00 AM my house got raded and I got taken off to jail for Running an illegal enterprise. Thge local media put my face all over the front page of the news paper and all over the local news saying that they seized all of my assets and that I owned several shell corporations. The truth, they seized none of my assets and I only owned one corporation, that was completely legit. They refused to even touch that corparation, cuz they would have gotten burned bad. I ran a string of strippers that in bachelor parties and live shows. All legal. They said nothing about it. They did whatever the local cops told them. In the end, after all the lies and accusations of putting me away for the rest of my life, I beat most of the charges but plead guilty to some weed and got 10 years. They are full of shit. Don’t believe what you read adn see on the news. All bullshit, just like some of the comments you read here.

I know how it sounds, bro, but it is legal. Lot of money in it. The midwest is just the place to make some good money doing it. Just make sure you get you licensing. It varies different places. As long as you pay the local powers that be, you will do great.
What I was saying to you was true. The local media says whatever the cops tell them to do. Ut’s some real scumbag stuff. So you can’t believe what you see on tv or news paper. The statistics some of the commentors have posted are pure manipulated numbers. there is some sick shit going on in Arizona.

Tell the illegal immigrants to head to New Orleans or Memphis through Texas. It’s safer.

Is Benjamin Arellano being extradited to the US?
[Reply]
Let’s say that I wanted to goet from my country to the US, and I needed to pass through Mexico. Is it cool for me to go through Mexico? I mean will they treat me fairly? Will they treat me like they want to be treated in the US?

Listen you cop loving SOB, I never murdered any one. The one thing I do know is that you use snitches like crazy. You have used the name Dave Fletcher here seveeral times. Flescter was the biggest scumbag rat that ever lived. I manipulated you assholes. So keep pretending that I have done something tarnishing. Keep fishing scumbag. This time you don’t have shit on me. You idiots have invetigated me non stop for going on 25 years. Not this time. I’m clean. If you tell me what your name is, I will tell everyone my name. It’s funny how you have thrown little inuendos out there to get under my skin. Every one that knows me knows that me nor anyone I know killed Frances Lecamera. I loved and respected that man. You have turned a tragedy, something that hurts my people, into something self-serving. That’s how you make me seem like a bad guy. Good luck badge kisser. You do piss me off, but I obviously bother you, too. Guess what, I will be right here to bother you. So every time you want to be bothered, just turn on BR and I will be here flipping you off.

I think the Rabbit makes this shit up. I wouldn’t doubt of ol’ Bir Rabbit isn’t double posting himself. For a former Mexican drug lord, he sure does speak good English.
