Drudge: Dog Whistling, but Immigration to be dodged?

Reviewing Govtrack.com's pages for HR 5953 (Quayle) and HR 5957 (Schweikert) which I discussed in Wonders Of Competition: TWO Bills To Block Obama's Youth Amnesty reveals, sadly, that only two new cosponsors appeared yesterday, both for the Quayle Bill:

Former Congressman Tom Tancredo has turned up an example of an illegal alien who would have been eligible for Obama’s DREAM Lite, but Texas executed the alien for the rape and murder of a teenager before he got to apply.

Humberto Leal Garcia (pictured) committed a particularly brutal crime (disturbing details about bite marks, etc. can be read on the Wiki posting). But he was a minor, and the authorities in many places tend to overlook histories of clearly dangerous young people — juvie gangster Pedro Espinoza comes to mind. He had a remarkably violent rap sheet as a juvenile, yet he was released from jail rather than deported, and he murdered high school student Jamiel Shaw a day later.

Below, 16-year-old Adria Sauceda was raped and murdered by a young illegal alien.

A previous version of the DREAM Act did not prohibit gang members from being included, so we can’t expect any attempt to keep out criminals in the current effort. Plus, major institutions, from the Catholic church to our own government actively campaign against public safety when illegal aliens are in the mix.

In addition, the potential for illegality is massive. Mark Krikorian forecasts “fraud on a titanic scale” during implementation.

Here’s Tancredo’s opinion piece:

Patriotic honor students aren’t the only beneficiaries of Obama’s executive order, by Tom Tancredo, Daily Caller, June 20, 2012

Last year, the Obama administration tried to block the execution of Humberto Leal Garcia. In 1994, at age 21, Leal kidnapped, murdered and raped a 16-year-old girl named Adria Sauceda. There was never much doubt as to Leal’s guilt, and the administration did not oppose the execution on the grounds that Leal was innocent or even that he did not receive a fair trial. Rather, administration officials were worried that executing him would “seriously jeopardize” relations with Mexico. According to the administration’s brief, since Leal was a “Mexican national,” he should have been offered assistance from the Mexican consulate when first arrested. The Supreme Court rejected this argument, and Leal met his maker on July 7, 2011.

Leal’s execution immediately came to my mind

Another illegal alien made the news today.  And she promises to do her best to destroy the United States and our Republican form of government.

Claudia Garate was an illegal alien from Chile who came to the United States to work illegally.  As is common, she and her employers did not have a good relationship.  She was underpaid but living where she wanted to be.  Apparently working 9-5 in Chile is worse than being a virtual slave in the United States.

We did an article about Craig Bodeker's documentary, A Conversation About Race,in 2009:Captive Teenagers Comment On Craig Bodeker's "Conversation About Race". Bodeker has now put the whole thing up on YouTube.

Congressmen Schweikert and Quayle

Here's a 13-minute interview of me shot by Craig Bodeker back in 2010 at the H.L. Mencken Club meeting. I was pretty rocky in the beginning, but it came out okay:

America's own Andrey Januarevich Vyshinsky, Eric Holder, and his minions at the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) are maneuvering for an amnesty for homosexuals to mirror the Department of Homeland Security's amnesty for illegal aliens under age 31.  The BIA recently remanded to U.S.

The Contra Costa Times immigration reporter tried his liberal best to present both sides of the Obamnesty, including the downer of more workers being unleashed on jobless citizens. (California statewide unemployment in May was 10.8 percent, so joblessness is a big concern here.)

But Matt O’Brien’s questionable attempt at “fair and balanced” was neither. The piece starts out with emotional stories from several young illegals and their dreams for the future. One version in the San Jose Mercury posted a sympathetic photo of one, Fiona Cruz.

For the other side, the reporter interviewed CIS’s excellent researcher Steve Camarota, and cited a couple relevant quotes. But O’Brien followed Camarota’s reasonable analysis with an immediate refutation beginning: “Those are assumptions many economists don’t hold. . .”

However, the most egregious element was the omission of young citizens who already struggle to find jobs. Why are their dreams for the future not considered worthy? How hard would it have been for the reporter to go to a local campus or unemployment office to find Americans who cannot find work?

The media constantly barrages the public with tearful stories of illegal aliens, as in this case. But young Americans, whose parents have obeyed the law and paid the taxes, are not even an afterthought to liberal journalists.

For that reason, I propose a new visa category for journalists to increase diversity in the newsroom and educate current scribblers about what the rest of America faces. Fifty thousand new journalist immigrants should do nicely for a start.
