What's the problem? It's still cleaner than from where they came.

Group: Detained immigrants kept in squalid basement - USATODAY.com:

"Upward of 200 detainees are at times crammed into temporary holding rooms in the basement of a downtown federal building, with as many as 60 immigrants in each room, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, which filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement late Wednesday."

Lawsuit Against San Francisco for Wrongful Death by Illegal Immigrant

Lawsuit Against San Fransisco for Wrongful Death by Illegal Immigrant | Say NO to Illegal Immigration:

There is a great lawsuit being filed against the sanctuary city of San Fransisco by the Balogna family. In June 2008, Tony Balogna and his two sons were murdered allegedly by an illegal immigrant named Edwin Ramos. This illegal immigrant was protected by the city of San Fransisco.

Edwin Ramos has a long criminal history. At the age of 17 he commited two violent felonies, one was gang related and the other was an attempted robbery of a pregnant woman. He is a member of the gang MS-13 that targeted Hispanic people just because they weren’t in the gang. Edwin’s latest arrest was on March 30, 2008 for gang and weapons charges, but San Fransisco refused to file charges against him. He was released from jail on April 2nd, and then just two months later allegedly commited a triple murder.

San Fransisco knew Edwin Ramos was an illegal immigrant, he was convicted of two violent felonies, and they did nothing. They arrested him again and refused to file charges, doing nothing. Nothing. The sanctuary city may have to wake up and get with the real world.

Unfortunately, the city of San Fransisco has absolute immunity from lawsuits that challenge its ordinances. What a crazy loophole, how can the city have absolute immunity? They violated federal law!

The only chance for this illegal immigrant lawsuit to get through, is for it to go in front of a jury. The jury can nullify the stupid San Fransisco loophole and allow the wrongful death lawsuit against San Fransisco. The best outcome would be for San Fransisco to have to pay millions and millions, realize they need to take responsibility for the illegal immigrants in their city, and Mayor Gavin Newsom would have to pay at least $100,000 from his personal bank account because of his responsibility (or lack of responsibility) which resulted in the death of the Balonga family. It is a true shame that San Frasisco could be so irresponsible for so long, that it took the death of three good Americans for people to wake up and realize how wrong San Fransisco is.

Catch and Release:"I'll probably be back"

FOXNews.com - Deportation Increase in U.S., 350,000 Illegal Immigrants Sent Home in 2008 - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News:

"CHICAGO — Just after dawn, Gerardo Lopez Arellano shuffles along in a line of 51 other shackled men on an isolated tarmac where a white, unmarked federal jet is waiting to take them to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The 24-year-old construction worker who grew up near the Texas border was deported twice before this year, but he is indifferent on this cool morning at O'Hare International Airport.

'I'll probably be back,' he told The Associated Press."

And you thought Immigration Scams Were Bad in the US

Techie fraudsters helped scam immigration tests - The INQUIRER:

LONDON: "Basically the scamsters used a small camera, a microphone and a small earpiece, the whole los probably cost around £20 from their local electronics shop.

Steve Lee, 36, and Rong Yang, 28, from Redhill were convicted of helped immigrants to answer the questions, telling them which boxes to tick on the test.

What’s even more amazing is not the fact that the authorities don’t test for equipment such as this, but that this wasn’t even what got Lee and Yang caught out – it was the surveillance van outside the test building."

Immigration Chronicles: Reasons why illegal immigration is being ignored

Immigration Chronicles: Reasons why illegal immigration is being ignored:

"Reasons why illegal immigration is being ignored

In our most recent post, we called out the presidential candidates for not going there on illegal immigration. We're not hearing anything on the issue from the men and women seeking to take residence in the White House next year.

Well, we need to offer the other side of this equation. A CCN/Opinion Research poll released today sheds some insight on why John McCain and Barack Obama might not be so excited to debate immigration.

The poll, conducted Sept. 5-7, asked 1,022 Americans which issue will be most important when they decide how to vote for president.

Unsurprisingly, the no. 1 issue was the economy for 56 percent of Americans.
The war in Iraq was second at 13 percent; health care was 12 percent; terrorism was 11 percent.

And rounding out the top five issues? You guessed it: illegal immigration. Only 6 percent of Americans named it their most important issue."

Obama ad: McCain would help corporations - Yahoo! News

Like a good little liberal, Obama is foisting the same-old on voters. This time, it says that the big, bad McCain is supporting Corporations! The gall!

Well, I hope someone is. The US government says this about Corporations:

"Large businesses are important to the overall economy because they tend to have more financial resources than small firms to conduct research and develop new goods. And they generally offer more varied job opportunities and greater job stability, higher wages, and better health and retirement benefits."

Anyone who's worked for small business knows that, while they can be flexible and more personal, they don't offer nearly the same security nor wages as working for one of the big companies. And a lot of people - like, millions in the US, find employment here.

The problems with Obama's policies are that,

1. Every time a tax is levied on a corporation, it makes it that much harder for the people employed in that company to get ahead. Corporations are required to answer to shareholders about profit and loss, and the higher the taxes, the harder it is to achieve a profit.
2. Obama seems to think that Corporations are like the government - that they can print money, or just wave their hand (like through a new tax act), and get ready cash. It ain't so. Businesses, large and small, have finite pots of money with which to work, and that's that.
3. Following Obama's ideas on dealing with corporations will again, as all Democrats seem to do, put corporations behind the eight-ball. Other countries (our most aggressive trade competitors such as Japan and China, for example) don't tax corporations, but support them with subsidies. In the US, we don't give subsidies, but rather remove the tax load through things like what McCain wants to do.

Hard to believe from someone with Obama's education and background, but he's just plain wrong, wrong wrong.

On the other hand, perhaps Obama is right - not about taxes, but that saying these things will get him elected. Americans seem to not understand this either, so maybe he's just preaching to the audience.

In the 1960s, Adlai Stevenson was running for Vice President. Stevenson was known for being a deep-thinking intellectual, and could alwasy give we-ll thought-out and deeply logical explanations for his ideas. One voter came to hime and said, "Every intelligent American should voter for you," to which he replied, "yes, but I need a majority to win."


Obama ad: McCain would help corporations - Yahoo! News:

"SCRIPT: Announcer: 'Can we really afford more of the same? John McCain's tax plan: For big corporations — $200 billion in new tax breaks. Oil companies — $4 billion. Companies shipping jobs overseas — keep their tax giveaways while 100 million Americans get no tax relief at all. For the change we need, Barack Obama. A plan that cuts taxes for middle-class families three times as much as John McCain would. Barack Obama. President.'

Obama: 'I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.'

KEY IMAGES: A man in his 60s looks gravely at the camera. Clips of McCain at a podium followed by a generic corporate board meeting, image of gas prices rising and an abandoned factory. A man in his 30s looks into the camera. A clip of McCain followed by film of Obama with a factory worker.

ANALYSIS: By airing in eight battleground states, this ad broadens Obama's anti-McCain message and puts both presidential candidates in an all-out slugfest of critical ads. While Obama is running a positive message about himself during national broadcasts of the Olympics, he's hammering McCain with economy-centered ads in states that could determine the election in November. The ads suggest that the campaign is seeking to re-establish Obama as a voice for working people after setting domestic issues aside during his wid"
