Yet another one got away from us. Here's the story from the Police Blotter: "Police followed a car at 8 p.m. Monday to the 100 block of North Center Street after it made an illegal turn. When the driver was detained, he presented two counterfeit forms of identification to the police, an Illinois driver's license and a permanent resident card, police said. Napolean Juarez, 29, of 553 Locust St., Elgin, was charged with possession of two fraudulent identification cards, police said. Juarez told police he purchased them in Chicago, a report said. He posted a $1,000 bond Tuesday morning and was freed from jail. He has a court date at the Kane County Judicial Center on Nov. 14. " (Daily Herald 10/31/07)
I'm not a trained detective but something leads me to believe this fellow is here illegally. I wonder if ICE was called? I wonder if they ran his name through the Homeland Security database? I wonder if he'll show up at court on the 14th? I wonder if the Kane County judge would pursue his immigration status if he did?
My predictions are no, no, no, and no.

Hillary answers the universal healthcare question
Univision Presidential Debate
University of Miami, September 7, 2007
MODERATOR: Senator Clinton, as first lady, your attempt to establish universal health insurance failed. What did you learn so you can be successful the next time?
SEN. CLINTON: Well, I am very proud that we tried to provide universal health care to every American back in 1993 and 1994, and -- (applause). I learned a lot from that, and I'm going to be presenting a plan next week that will be universal. It will cover everyone, and it will make it clear that we as a rich nation with the values that should be the best in the world will once and for all make it absolutely positive that everyone will have health care.
Now it's not only about the 47 million uninsured. Millions of insured Americans don't get the health care they paid for. We have a lot of people who (applause) -- all of a sudden their child needs an operation and the insurance company won't pay for it. I had an NYPD detective, a Latino with a very important job in the New York City Police Department, call me up distraught because the insurance company wouldn't pay for his two-year-old daughter's, you know, operation. It just brought tears to my eyes.
MODERATOR: Thank you, Senator.
SEN. CLINTON: Well, we're going to make it clear that there will be no parent who ever is told no when it comes to getting health care for their children. (Applause.)
End of quote from the debate…
Nothing in there about illegal vs.legal. But now she says health insurance is only for legal residents. Of course, if she grants them all amnesty that would be a non-issue, wouldn’t it? And every politician knows darn well that no doctor, nurse, or clinic is going to become an expert on immigration law and documents. The old catch-22 at work.
All her health plan will do is open up more avenues for the slimy docs to bill Uncle Sam, as if we don’t have enough examples of chaos already.

George Ryan
Well, the former gov of Illinois is back in the news. He’s lost his appeal to stay out of jail. A nine judge state panel said they were OK with his first verdict.
There is a Supreme Court appeal they can do so the fat lady didn’t sing yet, but we are getting close. He now has been issued an inmate number and they’ve booked a reservation for him on the shores of Lake Superior in Duluth Minnesota, the same prison that housed former Gov Dan Walker.
Walker tells reporters it is mighty cold up there and they run a rope between buildings so the inmates can find their way in the wintertime. Sounds pleasant enough.
I bring this up because there may be an illegal alien link to this story that gets no ink at all. Zero. Zip. Nada. And nothing was really done about giving licenses to illegals until the post-9/11 reforms, although the bribes stopped a few years before that.
The expose on Ryan began back on November 8, 1994 on I-94 near West Layton Ave (Milwaukee) when six children burned to death in a minivan after it was hit by debris from an unsafe truck. Reverend and Mrs. Willis watched as their children died.
Other truckers tried in vain to warn the driver, Ricardo Guzman, before the accident that his truck was losing its parts, but he didn’t understand English.
The investigation after the crash revealed that the truck driver BOUGHT (as in bribery) his license from the DMV. George Ryan was Secretary of State at the time. It turns out that Ryan was requiring campaign contributions from state workers…and state workers were getting those contributions by hitting up unqualified drivers for a bribe.
That was the tip of the iceberg. As they dug deeper they found all sorts of payoffs in the life of George Ryan. And so now we have yet another former Illinois governor set to do hard time. (Judging from the rumors, he won’t be the last.)
So what happened to the truck driver? Well, according to The State Journal – Register in Springfield IL 10/24/05, “Guzman pleaded the Fifth Amendment when asked as part of a civil lawsuit how he got the license and has never been accused of wrongdoing in connection with the accident or even gotten a traffic ticket.”
I suspect that was part of the deal for cooperating with authorities collecting evidence against Ryan.
He was ordered to pay $1 million to the family but my guess is that was a symbolic move. Here’s a list of the Deep Pockets who DID pay out on the claim, according to Roadstar magazine: “Trucking Interests Agree To $100 Million Accident Settlement -
A Chicago couple who lost six children in a 1994 accident have agreed to a $100 million out-of-court settlement, most of which will be paid by Transamerica Leasing Corp.
The accident occurred when a mud flap/taillight assembly fell off a tractor-trailer traveling in front of the minivan carrying the Rev. Duane Scott Willis, his wife Janet and six of their children. The minivan ran over the assembly, which penetrated the gas tank, puncturing the floor board and setting the vehicle on fire.
According to Business Insurance magazine, Transamerica, which owned the chassis, will pay $60 million of the settlement. Allied Products Corp. will pay $14.5 million on behalf of its Load Craft division, which went out of business in 1992. (Load Craft manufactured the chassis extension.) Truck driver Ricardo Guzman and his employer, Hammer Express Inc., will each pay $1 million.
Guzman has not been charged with wrongdoing in the accident. However, he has come under scrutiny because he obtained his CDL at one of the Chicago license facilities under investigation by the federal government for giving passing test grades in exchange for bribes.
Burlington Northern Railroad, which owned the railyard where the equipment was picked up, will pay $14.5 million. Daimler- Chrysler, manufacturer of the Plymouth Grand Voyager the Willises were driving, will pay $10 million.”
The rumor is that the Willises gave away most of the money to charities and non-profit groups, then moved to Tennessee where they live a modest lifestyle.
Ryan’s career was ended (as it should have been) but what happened to Guzman? And why hasn’t the press investigated his background? I think we already know the answer to that.
Update - Ryan has been granted his request to be sent to a prison in Wisconsin rather than the one in Duluth. It will be a closer drive for the Mrs. to visit him. And it is about 15 degrees warmer in the winter.

The Mexican agenda - Calderon
Well, now that we’ve heard from Vicente Fox, what does Mexico’s current jefe have to say about America.
ABC sent Diane Sawyer down to Mexico to interview him and came back with these nuggets.
About the illegal alien invasion and what Mexico can do:
“It is impossible to stop that by decree. It is impossible to try to stop that with a fence. Why? Because the capital in America needs Mexican workers, and Mexican workers needs opportunity of jobs. Capital and labor are like right shoe and left shoe and one needs the other.”
About solving the alien problem from the Mexican side:
“No, what I think is…it’s impossible to stop that. It’s natural. It’s an economic phenomenon. It is inevitable.”
(Now, on that one, I would think they could make a few changes internally. For instance, how about ending the Matricula Consular card program? How about keeping your mouth shut when someone is deported? How about the consulate coming forward to help families get back home to Mexico rather than crying that we are cruelly separating families? How about NOT SUING the United States when we get ready to execute murderers? Let’s stop making them feel protected and comfortable here. Mexico can help do that.)
About remittances as an important source of income for Mexico:
“That is absolutely false. You know, Mexico is losing with every single Mexican crossing the border. Why? Because it’s the best of our people. The youngest people, the bravest people, the strongest people. That is a false argument. I don’t want to see Mexico as a permanent provider of workers to the United States.”
About Mexico/US relations:
“The world is open in new ways, new bridges. We are building fences instead of bridges. And that is a problem”
About international trade and competition:
“The world is changing. The United States is not the center of the world. Both sides of the border need to learn to see each other like allies, and probably in the future, as friends… We need to stop this destructive message in media, in politics, in the economy…looking only enemies in the other side of border.”
(He misses the point. Most Americans get along fine with Mexicans here as long as they are here legally, pay taxes, and support themselves. And very few people have an ax to grind with Mexicans in Mexico. It’s the illegal ones that are giving us fits. And they make up 30% of the foreign-born, probably more if you look at Mexico by itself. I can’t let him make a swipe like that at the tolerance of Americans.)
As you read his remarks, I think you can see a decidedly socialist tone. That is a common position made by those who stand to benefit most from the alliance. And there can be no doubt that Mexico is getting much more out of this deal than it is putting in.

The right to peaceably assemble - Chapter 2
A couple of months back Sheriff Dan Beck was cancelled at the Holiday Inn in Crystal Lake because the hotel didn’t want any trouble. (Beck was to talk about ways to enforce immigration laws locally.)
Well, Sheriff Beck is back in town. They booked a hall at McHenry County College and he’ll be speaking there tonight. The Minuteman group paid $400 for insurance to cover the event.
But behind the scenes there was an effort to get the college to cancel the event. An advocacy group called Latinos Unidos presented 400 signatures to the college administration requesting that they ban Beck and any other anti-illegal immigration events at the school.
And just how did the college respond to their request? Read it yourself. The quote below is from McHenry County College President Walter Packard:
"If we start picking and choosing which groups can speak and which can't, you're going down a slippery path. Particularly in our college environment, you have to be prepared to listen to a wide range of ideas in order to learn."
Thank you, President Packard.
But stay tuned, folks. Packard told Minuteman lawyer Suzanne Walters a couple of days ago that "everyone knows" the Minutemen are a violent hate group. Walters asked him about that statement and he told her a Google search would substantiate his statement, though he'd never done so himself. I encourage him to try, as I did, to get the dirt on the Minutemen. (See my post "Vigilante Violence".) He's got some learning to do himself. Plus, he doesn't seem too willing to isolate and protect meeting attendees from protesters tonight.
Added to the post 10/27/07
Just a follow-up to the meeting. It went just fine according to the newspaper. Any protesters were kept away from the actual meeting. Maybe the rain helped keep them away.
A leader from Latino Coalition, Carlos Acosta, said that by enforcing the law Beck is causing illegal aliens to be victims of violent crimes without reporting them to police. I suppose the same could be said for citizens who are drug dealers; they just take it when they are victims of crime because they know they can't go to the police. Perhaps Carlos is suggesting some sort of amnesty for everyone who has a warrant out for their arrest? Now that's a good idea!
The only other negative comment was from a lady who compared the forum to Nazis, but she gave no specifics so I'm not sure what she meant.
The rest of the story.... Today in The Daily Herald the editor praised Packard and the college for demonstrating in a sensible way The Bill of Rights. The students who wanted to ban the Minutemen were told about how things work here in America. They were allowed to protest peacefully and the meeting was allowed to go on as well. It was a good piece. I do hope protests are allowed to continue in this country, along with peaceful meetings.
If only the editor would have addressed the swipe Packard took at the Minutemen...

The apologists
What is shocking about our society today is that there are so many apologists for illegal aliens. This is a rather new phenomenon. If you read the commission reports from just a decade ago – a commission loaded with Bill Clinton Democrats – that attitude was virtually absent.
Sure, there were some civil rights advocates on the commission and they worried about discriminating in hiring because someone “looked” foreign. They worried about such things so much that they recommended that businesses use Basic PILOT, a database for verifying Social Security numbers. Since you can’t tell by looking, look it up with the government. That way you can know without being subjected to a raid on your business.
Now, the State of Illinois has made it illegal to use the database! Why? Because it might be discriminatory. It defies logic.
The apologists abound. They are the folks who allow illegals to move among us, telling us they are good people; telling us that we need them.
Mayor Ed Schock of Elgin Illinois said this:
“After having had, and almost invited, millions of people to enter our country, to come up with draconian measures that’s going to punish those people once they are here is to attack the problem from the wrong end. I think everyone wants an orderly process. Every country wants to know who enters and leaves its borders. But the fact of the matter is the economy of the United States is dependent upon and grown as a result of the immigration. The unfortunate thing is that this has had to occur too often in an illegal environment rather than a legal, orderly process.”
A representative of the Kane County Illinois State’s Attorney (Assistant Brian Mirandola) had an illegal alien a few feet away from him in a courtroom, accused of using someone else’s Social Security number to get loans over a five year period, and our State’s Attorney said: “(The defendant) did it basically to live, to work, to get a house and car loan. I think it's a fair disposition (of the case)." He then proceeded to approve on our behalf a sentence of two years’ probation and zero consequences for his illegal presence in the United States.
Some time back I wondered what the government would do if Elvira Arellano showed up at the White House to protest. Would they have the guts to arrest her or would they ignore her? Well, I think I got my answer – They would welcome her inside! That is exactly what Durbin did on October 23rd – He lined up some illegal alien college students as a backdrop to their plea for DREAM Act votes – right inside the Capitol Building! Tom Tancredo called for Immigration to go over there and make some arrests but his request was ignored. Durbin replied that they were all of legal status because he arranged for these pawns to have free temporary visas. Talk about an apologist!
We repeatedly heard President Bush himself calling for the nation to grant them amnesty.
So, at all levels of government we see an acceptance of the presence of illegal aliens. It is shameful. They are not above the law!

Just help yourself
There is something heartwarming about how people pull together in times of disaster. The evacuations out in southern California show a wonderful spirit of cooperation and concern.
But it has also been said that disasters bring out the worst in people as well. I suppose they strip away the veneer and expose the true soul.
A news report from Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego reveals that eight illegal aliens were arrested for stealing supplies.
Several illegals would back two pick up trucks and a car into the dock area, load up supplies, and drive off. They did this three times before someone questioned them. It turns out they were not authorized to remove supplies from the area. It also turns out they are not authorized to be in the United States.
As it turns out Border Patrol agents have been taken off the border and assigned to the stadium to assist with the relief effort.
The line from Border Patrol spokesman Matthew Johnson was a classic: "We're not out there doing immigration stuff in the middle of a disaster. However, we still enforce the laws." The eight were arrested for immigration violations. Four were later released, presumably to take care of other family members.
Lest you liberals think it is heartless that we are not sharing relief supplies with these people just because they are minorities, it was discovered that the illegals were SELLING the stolen supplies.
