Another Monster Layup/Rest Area Discovered by MCDC AZ SEARCH & RESCUE

10 Year Old Girl Gives Birth

 A story out of St. Anthony, Idaho is sure to leave people angry, frustrated,
confused and even saddened. It involves a 10-year-old child who police say was
raped by an illegal alien and who just gave birth to a child.

The 10-year-old girl gave birth at Madison Memorial Hospital this past
weekend, making her one of the youngest children in the United States to
become a mother.

Police say 37-year-old Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez, who is an illegal
alien, is behind bars in the Fremont County Jail on other rape charges.

The criminal complaint filed against Gutierrez-Juarez says the rape of the
girl happened between November and January.

As for the little girl and her little baby, not much information is known
other than they are doing well physically.

Other questions being raised are what happens to Gutierrez-Juarez? He could
spend the rest of his life in prison, receive a huge fine, or both. He could
also be placed on probation and deported.

So far, city, county and state officials are not commenting about this case.

This is criminal. Food meant for honest children and seniors instead is being diverted to be given to illegal aliens.

The real problem is that our government prefers illegal aliens to innocent, good people.

This needs to stop immediately. In order to get benefits, the immigration status needs to be checked. Citizens get the food, those here illegally deported.

This is theft of food by illegal aliens. Shame on us for allowing the government to give benefits to illegal aliens. Now that we know this, will the Feds fix it or allow it to continue?

Senator George Runner has a ballot measure, "Safe Neighborhoods Act" that will give the justice system more funds to control gangs and illegal aliens.

Democrats like Congresswoman Barbara Lee, demand we stop opposing criminals and give the money to other causes.

I proudly support the Runner effort and am working for it on a daily basis.

With Lee and her Lefties opposing it, you know it must be a good measure.

SACRAMENTO — Civil rights groups, teachers and clergy — many from the Bay Area — plan to form a coalition today to oppose a pending ballot initiative that they say would divert funds needed for schools and health care into misguided attacks on crime.

The "Safe Neighborhoods Act: Stop Gang, Gun, and Street Crime" aims to bolster law enforcement funds and toughen gang-related crime penalties.

Republican lawmakers and other authors of the proposed initiative submitted petitions bearing voters’ signatures to election officials April 25 in hopes of qualifying it for the November statewide ballot.

U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, said in a statement Tuesday that the "so-called Safe Neighborhoods Act will not lead to safer streets, less crime or a reduction in drug dealing in our community."

"The initiative doesn’t address the core problems or create real solutions," she said. "In light of the current California budget crisis, we cannot afford to irresponsibly spend even more California tax dollars on a failed policy of only funding prisons and criminalizing youth."

Jakada Imani of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights said that the proposal "makes us less safe." Effective public safety results from employment and a strong economy, which is based on a strong school system,’’ Imani said.

Opponents include the California NAACP, the California Federation of Teachers, Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums and California Church Advertisement IMPACT, the advocacy arm of the California Council of Churches.

Foes of the proposal plan to hold similar news conferences today in Los Angeles and Fresno. Safe Neighborhoods initiative co-author George Runner, a Republican state senator from Lancaster, said in submitting initiative petitions that supporters had "received passionate responses from voters up and down the state for this ballot measure."

"But we are not surprised by their enthusiasm,’’ he said. "Our constituents tell us all the time that they are fed up with gangs and the violence and destruction they bring to our neighborhoods." Other supporters include the senator’s wife, Assemblywoman Sharon Runner, R-Lancaster, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, and Mike Reynolds, who championed California’s crime-penalty toughening "three-strikes" law.

A report by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office on the proposal says it would boost funding for police, sheriffs, district attorneys, jails and probation offices by about $365 million annually.

The initiative also would require a few hundred million dollars for operation of prisons that would house additional inmates imprisoned for longer periods.

The measure would bolster penalties for various crimes, including those related to gang participation and recruitment, intimidation of individuals involved in court proceedings, possession and sale of methamphetamine, vehicle theft and gun possession.

SALINAS, Calif. (AP) An illegal alien has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for kidnapping and impregnating his Salinas landlord's 12-year-old daughter.

Monterey County prosecutors say 25-year-old Juan Ramirez Flores had rented a room in the family home for three years and had pursued a romantic relationship with the girl, including the use of pornography to entice her into sex.

Flores took the girl to Mexico last September and the child, pregnant with Flores' child, was located two months later by her family. It wasn't known if she's still pregnant.

He was eventually captured by the Border Patrol while trying to enter the U.S. illegally.

Flores was convicted of lewd acts on a child, inflicting great bodily injury and kidnapping.

Border busts coming and going

A van driver unloads luggage belonging to several passengers being detained by federal agents at the checkpoint just north of the border. The operations occur at random, unannounced times.

 By Richard Marosi, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
May 7, 2008

SAN DIEGO -- U.S. border authorities no longer apprehend illegal immigrants only as they enter the country. Now they're catching them on the way out.

At random times near the Tijuana-San Diego border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers have been setting up checkpoints, boarding buses destined for Mexico and pulling off people who don't have proper documentation. The operation appears to be an expansion of a broader federal crackdown targeting illegal immigrants in jails, airports and workplaces across the country.

The checkpoints, which are not announced in advance, are set up on southbound Interstate 5 about 100 yards north of the border. Vehicles in all lanes must stop. Vincent Bond, an agency spokesman, said departing immigrants are fair targets.

"If our officers come upon people who are here illegally . . . regardless of whether they're leaving the country, we detain them, make a record of the fact they were here illegally and return them to Mexico," Bond said.

Immigrant rights groups and other critics say the crackdown is a sad reflection of growing anti-immigrant sentiment in the country.

"The policies of the Bush administration are designed to make life so difficult for immigrants in the U.S. illegally that they're forced to leave. . . . Now they're arresting people who they are actually driving out of the country. . . . Unbelievable," said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, a Washington-based immigration reform group.

But some GOP politicians and anti-illegal immigration organizations praise federal authorities for widening their enforcement efforts. A spokesman for Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-El Cajon) said agents were simply doing their job.

"Whether people are coming or going . . . checkpoints are just another line of defense that targets illegal behavior," Joe Kasper said.

Customs and Border Protection, which typically provides detailed statistics on apprehensions, would not disclose details of the checkpoint operation. Nor would they say how long it has been underway.

The checkpoints have been randomly deployed since the Sept. 11 attacks, with inspectors typically looking for fugitives, stolen vehicles, weapons, drugs and other contraband.

Illegal immigrants became targets for arrest at the checkpoints only a few months ago, according to immigrant rights groups and human rights organizations in Mexico. It is unclear how frequently the checkpoints have been set up.

But Enrique Morones, president of the Border Angels, a San Diego-based group, said he believes that hundreds of immigrants have been arrested since the crackdown began.

Over a half-hour period April 30, agents appeared to be pulling over every bus and van heading for the border. But any vehicle, including cars, that agents deem suspicious may be stopped and searched.

Inspectors detained five young men from one bus traveling from Los Angeles to Puebla, a city southeast of Mexico City. After the inspectors made their apprehensions, only two passengers remained on-board.

"Pobrecitos (poor people)," said Lily Lujan, who watched the immigrants being arrested as she walked to the border crossing. "They were almost home. If they're already leaving the country, what's the problem?"

Federal agents say the checkpoints are a productive way to stop dangerous criminals, drug shipments and money launderers.

The illegal immigrants they apprehend are typically turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol for processing. Unless they have serious criminal records or numerous immigration violations, most are returned to Mexico within a few hours, the agents say.

Wayne Cornelius, director of the Center of Comparative Immigration Studies at UC San Diego, said he was not aware of similar crackdowns in the past. The checkpoints make sense for intercepting contraband, but targeting illegal immigrants voluntarily leaving the country is a "bizarre" way of handling the illegal immigration question, he said.

Other critics call it an enormous waste of resources and say it could be counterproductive and discourage immigrants from going home.

"There are people that want to go back, and even though they haven't done anything wrong, they might be intimidated from leaving," said Morones of the Border Angels. "It makes no sense."

But groups that fight illegal immigration praise federal authorities for showing more willingness to enforce existing immigration laws aggressively. Focusing on the criminality of people entering the country is only part of the job of border agencies, they say.

Rick Oltman, spokesman for Californians for Population Stabilization, said he hoped that the crackdown on departing illegal immigrants would be expanded to other exit points across the country.

He said apprehended immigrants who returned home to Mexico would become "ambassadors of enforcement" and might help deter illegal immigration.

"Each one of these people will then report increased enforcement to family and friends when they do get home, and that will give them second thoughts about sneaking back into the U.S.," he said.

Sen. John McCain, the de facto Republican presidential nominee, announced he will attend the national convention of La Raza, a radical Hispanic lobby tied to the movement to reconquer the Southwestern U.S. that was part of Mexico before the Mexican-American War that ended in 1848.

Though La Raza bills itself as a civil rights organization, the group's name literally means "The Race."

La Raza was condemned in 2006 by Rep. Charles Norwood, R-Ga., as a radical "pro-illegal immigration lobbying organization that supports racist groups calling for the secession of the western United States as a Hispanic-only homeland."

Norwood has called on La Raza to renounce its support of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan – which sees "The Race" as part of an ethnic group that one day will reclaim Aztlan, the mythical birthplace of the Aztecs. In Chicano folklore, Aztlan includes California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Texas.

McCain, who steadfastly opposed efforts to build a fence along the U.S.-Mexican border and supported legislation to permit illegal aliens to remain in the U.S., also announced the launch of his campaign's Spanish language website.

The announcements came on Cinco de Mayo, the day commemorating an 1862 battle fought by Mexican troops.

"Today, we join together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots endured, as well as the struggles of all those around the world striving for freedom," said McCain in the statement. "We recognize as well the important friendship that exists between our country and Mexico, and celebrate the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society, culture, security and economy."

ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on Cinco de Mayo as his campaign announced several new Spanish efforts:

"Cinco de Mayo commemorates an important moment in the history of Mexico's path to freedom. On this day in 1862, a small group of Mexican troops overcame overwhelming force to win the Battle of Puebla.  Today, we join together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots endured, as well as the struggles of all those around the world striving for freedom. We recognize as well the important friendship that exists between our country and Mexico, and celebrate the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society, culture, security and economy."

The Cinco de Mayo statement can now also be found on the Spanish section of the official campaign website at http://espanol.johnmccain.com, which the campaign launched today. This part of the website will feature regular updates in Spanish throughout the election.

Finally, as part of his commitment to talking with all Americans during this presidential campaign, the McCain presidential campaign announced that John McCain will attend the La Raza Annual Convention in San Diego on July 14, 2008.

HONOLULU - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested 22 illegal alien workers on administrative immigration violations yesterday during separate enforcement actions involving three outlets of two popular chain restaurants on the island of Maui.

ICE agents took eight foreign national workers into custody at the Cheeseburger Island Style and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants in Wailea and Lahaina as well as 14 illegal aliens who were employed by the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company in Lahaina. The arrests are part of separate ongoing investigations by ICE.

All of those taken into custody are foreign nationals from Mexico. The individuals were photographed, fingerprinted and processed by ICE. They were also interviewed by ICE agents to elicit information about possible health, caregiver or other humanitarian issues, and to identify any urgent medical needs. The information aids ICE in making decisions about whether to detain an individual or permit a conditional humanitarian release.

"The lure of employment is one of the most significant factors fueling illegal immigration," said Wayne Wills, special agent in charge of the ICE office of investigations in Honolulu. “Every job held by an illegal alien is a job taken from a U.S. citizen or legal resident of this area."

As a result of those interviews, 20 of the illegal alien workers encountered during the enforcement action are being detained. The group includes 14 men and six women. They have been transferred to the Federal Detention Center, Honolulu. The remaining illegal workers, two men, were processed and released under supervision on humanitarian grounds, pending future immigration proceedings.

ICE has set up a local phone number family members of those arrested can call to get information about their relatives' detention status and the removal process. The phone number is: (808) 541-2623, Option 2.

ICE has received assistance with the case from the Department of Public Safety - Sheriff's Department, the Maui Police Department, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Hawaii Army National Guard, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the United States Attorney's Office. Since its establishment in 2003, ICE has dramatically enhanced its efforts to combat the unlawful employment of illegal aliens in this country. ICE's comprehensive strategy for worksite enforcement is aimed at promoting national security and public safety, protecting critical infrastructure, and ensuring fair labor standards.

In fiscal year 2007, ICE made more than 4,900 arrests in connection with worksite enforcement investigations, including 863 involving criminal violations. That represents a 45-fold increase in criminal worksite arrests compared to fiscal year 2001. In addition, ICE obtained more than $31 million in criminal fines, restitutions and civil judgments in fiscal year 2007 as a result of worksite- related enforcement actions.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Four illegal aliens were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents yesterday for trafficking more than $5 million in counterfeit items.

Kemo Krubally, 39, a native of Gambia, West Africa, who operates wholesale and retail merchandise outlets under the name of ATL FASHIONS, was arrested, along with three other men, as a result of an extensive investigation by ICE agents in Gulfport, Mississippi and Montgomery, Ala.

The counterfeit goods were seized by ICE special agents and the Montgomery County, Ala., Sheriff's Department, following the execution of five federal search warrants at locations linked to Krubally. The items seized included counterfeit Nike shoes and counterfeit Prada and Coach handbags.

"The creation, smuggling and sale of counterfeit goods is not a victimless crime," said Michael A. Holt, special-agent-in-charge of the ICE Office of Investigations, New Orleans. "These products are produced illegally, harming the trademark holders, smuggled into the country and distributed by organized crime groups and sold to the detriment of local businesses and communities who derive no financial gain from the illegal sales. ICE is committed to an aggressive approach toward enforcing the nation's intellectual property rights laws."

In recent years, counterfeiting, piracy, and other intellectual property rights (IPR) violations have grown in magnitude and complexity, costing U.S. businesses billions of dollars in lost revenue and often posing health and safety risks to U.S. consumers. The United States Trade Representative has estimated that U.S. industry alone loses $200 to $250 billion to counterfeiting annually.

The growth in IPR violations has been fueled in part by the spread of enabling technology allowing for simple, low-cost duplication of copyrighted products, as well as by the rise in organized crime groups that smuggle and distribute counterfeit merchandise for profit. In many cases, international organized crime groups bankroll their criminal activities, including illegal drug trafficking, the sale of illegal weapons and even the possible funding of terrorist attacks by using the enormous profits realized from the sale of counterfeit goods.

ICE plays a leading role in targeting criminal organizations responsible for producing, smuggling, and distributing counterfeit products. ICE investigations focus not only on keeping counterfeit products off U.S. streets but also on dismantling the criminal organizations behind this activity.

In fiscal year 2007, ICE partnered with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to seize nearly $200 million in counterfeit or pirated merchandise nationwide. During that same period, ICE and CBP made more than 13,600 IPR seizures, resulting in 241 arrests, 149 indictments and 134 criminal convictions.

ICE manages the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center, which plays a pivotal role in the U.S. government's domestic and international law enforcement attack on IPR violations. ICE agents and CBP personnel throughout the country rely upon the IPR Coordination Center for guidance in their inspections and investigations.

Holt thanked the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department for their participation in the investigation.

United States Attorney Leura Canary is handling the prosecution of the case for the Middle District of Alabama. The ICE investigation into the case is ongoing.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Special agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI on Wednesday arrested a Brazilian man and his girlfriend from Kazakhstan, along with eight illegal aliens who the couple allegedly transported from New Jersey to New Mexico to obtain valid driver's licenses here.

ICE and FBI special agents on April 30 arrested Cleber Da Silva, 34, and Anastassiya Galiullina, 22, as they left the Department of Motor Vehicles in Albuquerque. Both are in the country illegally; they remain in federal custody. The eight other illegal aliens, all Brazilians, were arrested in the parking lot of an area restaurant and are in ICE custody.

Da Silva and Galiullina are criminally charged with transporting illegal aliens and producing false identification documents, which the aliens attempted to use to obtain valid New Mexico driver's licenses. ICE and FBI special agents began investigating the couple last month after an alert New Mexico Department of Motor Vehicles employee reported to authorities an attempt to fraudulently obtain a New Mexico driver's license.

ICE special agents believe Da Silva and Galiullina had transported at least 30 other illegal aliens, mostly Brazilians, from New Jersey to obtain New Mexico driver's licenses. They allegedly charged each person $3,000. In addition to facilitating their cross-country travel, the couple also allegedly produced fraudulent identification and other proof-of-residence documents that the illegal aliens used to obtain valid New Mexico driver's licenses.

Last month, ICE special agents arrested two illegal aliens at the Department of Motor Vehicles after they produced fraudulent documents while applying for a driver's license.

Federal agents also executed a search warrant at Da Silva's apartment, where they seized computers and other electronic media, as well as an extensive collection of fraudulent documents.

"Criminal enterprises that facilitate transporting illegal aliens within the United States, and provide them with fraudulent supporting documents to obtain valid identification documents, pose a significant risk to national security and to public safety," said Roberto G. Medina, special agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in El Paso. "ICE and its federal and local law enforcement partners will continue to act swiftly against these illicit networks."

This joint investigation also included members of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF).

SAN FRANCISCO

Immigrant rights groups say they're outraged that federal agents arrested more than 60 people in raids on 11 Bay Area restaurants.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says its agents arrested 63 illegal aliens Friday at El Balazo restaurants in San Francisco, San Ramon, Lafayette, Concord, Pleasanton and Danville.

Sixty-two of the people arrested were from Mexico and one was from Guatemala. All of them were photographed, fingerprinted and interviewed before ten women and one man were quickly released for various reasons.

The raids came a day after immigrant advocates marched on May Day to call for the legalization of illegal aliens.

The biggest incentive for illegal aliens to come to the United States is to find work. If there are no employers willing to hire the illegal aliens, then the flood of illegal aliens will subside.

So the purpose of this website is to expose "alleged" employers of illegal aliens. In this effort we need your help. First, if you know of a suspected employer of illegal aliens report them here.

Second, search or browse the "alleged" employers of illegal aliens and, if you are compelled by the evidence, email them telling them you will no longer patronize their business. In the same email, make sure they know that you will also tell everyone you know NOT to patronize their business. We've got pre-written emails to help you do this.

Finally, use our website to report these "alleged" employers to the proper authorities. Again, we've got emails already written that you can send off at the touch of a button.
