Re: Peter Brimelow's Blog: Dog Bites Man. Immigration Bites American White Majority
I went to Wal-Mart today and there had to be 500 illegals roaming around freely.
There are apartments full of them on Spring Valley off US Highway 75.
Hordes of Mexican men roam the neighborhoods, schools crowded with illegal invader kids and the encroachment into formerly "nice" neighborhoods is obvious. My street is loaded with Ethiopians, Pakistanis, Nigerians, South Americans and Mexicans.
No one cares.
I called ICE by using the information given by Juan Mann on his VDARE.COM archive.
The ICE representative told me—a 60-year-old woman—to go down and get the owner's name, the name of the manager and send him the address. ICE wanted me, an elderly taxpayer, to do its job!
Unbelievable!
I've tried calling Homeland Security and they pass me one at a time 3-4 people before I am eventually disconnected. I get the same results when I contact the FBI.
I called the
Dallas
Police Department and they asked me: "How
do you know they are illegal"?
What a joke. Nobody cares.
I'm a widow and I care. My father fought in World War II but twenty years from today, my grandchildren will be called "minorities."
VDARE.COM note: Juan Mann will update his information on reporting aliens soon.

Re: Today's Letter: AA New Jersey Professor Why Suspected Terrorists Get The Benefit Of The Doubt
The Investigative Project on Terrorism
posted its observations about Mohammad Qatanani's
trail that resulted in him being allowed to stay in the
The ITP is not a fly-by-night organization. It's headed by Dan Vara, the former INS District Counsel in Miami, Florida from 1990 until 2003. Vera's other positions included Chief Counsel, ICE, in Orlando and instructor at ICE, INS and the FBI.
Vera found that the national security lawyers
"… went in without any insurance, without their evidence, and without the required witnesses. Instead, they were apparently authorized to present only one ICE agent and one FBI agent, neither of whom had real knowledge of Qatanani's background, as the witnesses who could serve to prove up their case."
Summarizing the obvious at the end of his report, Vera concludes that: "major change is required in the federal bureaucracy."
But another analyst, while agreeing with Vera on the fundamentals, took a more positive approach.
As posted in the comments section of Vera's article:
"Either way, decisions like Qatanani are double edged. While they make the alleged 'bad guy' appear to be okay and a victim of government excess and to make future prosecutions, in immigration or criminal court, more difficult, they also do have some positive side effects too.
They disrupt the 'bad guys' ' operations and put them on notice that we know they are bad guys and are watching them. Thus, if they truly are 'bad guys', we have hampered their ability to continue their behavior. If we were prosecuting them, particularly on terror-related grounds in either immigration or criminal court, we have moved from the covert to the overt anyway, so the fact that we have 'intel' on them is no longer a secret.
What the 'bad guy' doesn't know is just how much we do know; were we unwilling to disclose it because we lacked anything really credible or because it would give up sources and methods that are still effective? The 'bad guy' doesn't know and now we get to watch him/her/them to see what he/she/they do next. While it's not the 'win' we were trying for, it's not the total disaster that is usually portrayed either. In this case the 'we' is the government as a whole, be it law enforcement, intelligence community or both."

"late,
unlamented INS"

My father, who ran his own business, had two favorite
sayings:
John McCain's presidential candidacy is an example of
the latter.
The
front-loaded Republican
primary system is designed to keep the true grassroots
conservative base from choosing the nominee.
In the
early primary and caucus states, there are always many
solid candidates to choose from.
In
Iowa, I work hard in our Caucus
to assure that one of the lower tier candidates finishes
in at least in third place so that he can go on to
several more primaries.
This year Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Fred
Thompson placed
one,
two, three while McCain and Ron Paul came close
behind in fourth and fifth place.
The true
conservative votes were split four ways with McCain
being the outsider.
To
insure that a moderate Republican nominee wins,
blue states like
Conservatives are up in arms is because McCain is the
nominee but almost no conservative voted for him. He is
the de facto nominee.
In the end,
the press crowns the nominee—in this case McCain—while
conservative voters stay home because they now don't
matter.
As my
father would have said, none of this happened by
accident.
