Bill To Ban Sanctuary Cities & Require Enforcement Of Immigration Law
Plus
A Report on the Law enforcement Seminar Saturday April 19 in Putnam County, N.Y.
Having said that, with Chief Bates’ “unwritten policy”, illegal immigrants who assault their spouses, evade the police, hit your vehicle while driving without insurance and leave the scene, “expose” themselves to your family, sell drugs to your kids, and break into your car, are doing so without consequence after they are released from jail on their charges.
The Supremacy Clause establishes the Constitution, Federal Statutes, and U.S. treaties as "the supreme law of the land."
The Constitution is the highest form of law in the American legal system. State judges are required to uphold it, even if state laws or constitutions conflict with it.

AG Issues Directive On State And Local Law Enforcement Agencies And Federal Immigration Laws Milgram Says Federal Immigration Authorities Should be Notified if Undocumented Immigrants Arrested
As local and law enforcement agencies begin testing out new guidelines for identifying people who are in the country illegally, members of the Latino Leadership Alliance of New Jersey are urging Attorney General Anne Milgram to keep a close watch on how the new policy is working.
Gates v. Superior Court (Grajeda) (1987) 193 Cal.App.3d 205 , 238 Cal.Rptr. 592
(Officers may arrest for felony violations of immigration laws but not for misdemeanors that were not committed in their presence, e.g., illegal entry.)
THE RECENT execution-style murders of three college students in Newark have shocked and horrified residents of our state. The subsequent arrest of an illegal immigrant who had a history of previous charges for rape and assault has only added to the outrage. New Jerseyans are asking how it is possible that someone with no legal right to be in our country and who has a history of arrests for violent crimes could be allowed to roam free to prey on law-abiding residents.
287g training from ICE sought by many U.S. jurisdictions
ICE PROGRAM
The 287 (g) program gives local law enforcement agencies the “training and subsequent authorization to identify, process and, when appropriate, detain immigration offenders they encounter during their regular, daily law-enforcement activity,” according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security fact sheet.
Portchester NY is sued by US Justice Department PORT CHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 15 — The United States Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Friday against this Westchester County village, charging that its at-large voting system illegally diminishes Hispanic influence.
The suit, which contends that the system violates the Voting Rights Act, seeks an injunction that could scuttle Board of Trustees elections in March.

2006 Proposed Department of Justice Electoral Redistricting Plan This section documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.
To abide by the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the federal government proposed a redictricting plan for Port Chester. The Village Board of Trustees passed a resolution on December 4, 2006 saying that they don't agree with the Department of Justice's decision that they must reform the election system. Federal authorities believe that the Village's "at large" voting system denies Hispanics representation on the board of trustees. According to Reuters, "All voters in town elect each board member, whereas dividing the town into six electoral districts would give Hispanics a majority in at least one of them because they are largely concentrated in one area of town, the suit said."
This is more than serious, it's CATASTROPHIC ! If the up-coming new U.S. House of Representatives approves the Senates SB2611 that the Senate passed earlier this year - it will corrupt our nation beyond belief. The rule of law will be dissolved ! Chaos and bankruptcy of the nation will evolve. Traditional American culture will dissolve and much more.
Enhancing the enforcement of immigration laws "Among near-term oversight needs, Walker included such high-visibility issues as overseeing the effective integration of the agencies that form the Homeland Security Department, ensuring the collection of royalties on oil produced from federal lands, enhancing the enforcement of immigration laws and deterring identity theft by controllingthe use of Social Security numbers. He did not list the items in order of priority." The article also contains a link to the actual 44 page document that David M. Walker, the GAO Comptroller General sent to Congress to address his concerns that formed the basis for the article I attached below. The link to the document is:
WHITEWATER-Events the morning of Aug. 8, 2006, sent shockwaves through a small college city in Walworth County's northwest corner. The reality is that unless we are willing to declare that anyone born on the planet Earth should be declared a citizen of the United States, then our nation needs to effectively secure its borders and the immigration system.
When the federal government refuses to act, state prosecutors must do so to protect their communities from foreign criminals. I will continue to see to it that Northampton County, Pennsylvania does not become a safe haven for foreign criminals.
Hazleton, PA - Illegal Immigration Relief Ordinance Soon, hazleton will implement the ordinace, which intends to make my city one of the toughest places in the country for illegal aliens by punishing the landlords who rent to illegal aliens and companies who knowingly hire them.
After suffering through several high-profile crimes involving illegal aliens, we've sent a clear message that we've had enough. Hazleton is working to take back our streets, our neighborhood, and our community.
Many people have asked for copies of the Illegal Immigration Relief Ordinnce to present to their own elected officials.
Loitering and Conduct in Public Places: In addition to the preemption of municipal loitering ordinances, a January 2003 decision of the Appellate Division of the NJ Superior Court [State of New Jersey (Township of West Orange) vs. Carl A Paserchia] ruled that N.J.S.A. 2C: 33-1 to 28 reveals a state "policy to comprehensively address street behavior and other conduct in public places which may disturb citizens and disrupt peaceful society."
Criminal History Record Check: Many municipalities have enacted ordinances providing for criminal history record checks. Chapter 199 of the Laws of 2003 was enacted to bring various state statutes into compliance with federal law. As part of that act, municipalities were specifically given the authorization to receive information from the FBI and to enact an ordinance providing that "an authorized municipal official or officer may request a criminal history record background check of any person for an official governmental purpose, including, but not limited to, employment, licensing and the procurement of services."
Plains Township in PA plans to crackdown on illegals
On Thursday, the township commissioners unanimously voted to allow the township solicitor to craft anti-illegal immigration legislation similar to a law passed in Hazleton, making their community the sixth in the county to tackle the controversial topic.
Hazleton’s law, the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, forbids landlords to rent to illegal immigrants, punishes employers who hire them, and makes English the city’s official language.
Lafayette, IN - Council: Immigration a federal concern If you enter this country by sneaking past the border patrol, you have committed a federal crime," Sipple said. "Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to begin a small step on a long walk back to common sense."

Dear Presiding Officer Torina and Members of the Suffolk County Legislature:
I am returning Resolution No. 220-01, Designating Catholic Charities As Contract Agency For Funding In The 2001 Operating Budget, vetoed.
The resolution designates $80,000 from the Suffolk County Department of Labor 2001 Operating Budget to Catholic Charities to enable the agency to initiate a community opportunity center in Farmingville, New York. Catholic Charities has proposed to develop the multi-purpose immigration center for educational, legal and referral services to assist Brookhaven’s growing immigrant population, including the many day-laborers seeking employment from the area’s contractors.

Rampant and unchecked illegal immigration has contributed to the overall decline of San Bernardino.
Our state and federal government have been given enough time to stop illegal immigration. It is time that the residents of San Bernardino stand up and take matters into their own hands.
Support the Save San Bernardino Initiative!
The "City of San Bernardino Illegal Immigration Relief Act" will reverse the negative impacts of illegal immigration by aggressively and proactively targeting policies and entities that aid and abet illegal aliens. The "Illegal Immigration Relief Act" will:
Interior enforcement encompasses a number of significant elements On March 10th of last year, in fact, I testified before the House Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Claims at a hearing that was entitled, "Interior Immigration Enforcement Resources. I was called upon to comment on the fact that the Congress had authorized funds to hire an additional 800 special agents for ICE while, incredibly, the administration only wanted to hire an additional 143 new special agents. I was disappointed that given the ongoing war on terror and all of the other issues confronting ICE that only 800 new positions were being funded. I cannot begin to tell you in civilized language my reaction to the administration's desire to slash that number of new positions to a mere 143. You can read a copy of the entire hearing at:
Case of Md. Restaurateurs Reflects Use of Criminal Investigations, Rather Than Fines, Against Employers
By Eric Rich Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, April 16, 2006; C06
Serious criminal charges once typically reserved for drug traffickers and organized-crime figures are increasingly being used to target businesses that employ illegal immigrants, a strategy highlighted last week when three Maryland restaurateurs pleaded guilty to federal offenses and agreed to forfeit more than $1 million in cash and property.
While lawmakers in Washington debate whether to forgive illegal immigrants their trespasses, a small but increasing number of local and state law enforcement officials are taking it upon themselves to pursue deportation cases against people who are here illegally.
In more than a dozen jurisdictions, officials have invoked a little-used 1996 federal law to seek special federal training in immigration enforcement for their officers.

Cops to President Bush: Stop the Invasion of Illegal Aliens
But now there's increasing disenchantment with President Bush on his handling of illegal immigration and border security. More and more police agencies find themselves engulfed in crimes being committed by illegal aliens. Mexican nationals dressed in military uniforms are coming into the United States while they protect drug and human traffickers and yet our leaders in Washington a best offer lip-service, at worst ignore the problem not wishing to alienate a perceived voting block.
Form I-9 process [Worksite immigration law enforcement] is in shambles
I think that the government should expand the Electronic Verification System, decrease the burden of proof the government has to show on the employers and increase the fines against employers who violate the law.

Lessons From The Ranch Rescue Fiasco So for the benefit of all border-watching Minutemen, past, present and future, I offer these lessons learned from Ranch Rescue: * Beware the tort claim! All personal injury lawsuits-tort claims-are serious business and MUST be answered, as well as defended vigorously by the best lawyer you can afford...and then some. Not answering a claim filed against you is the only sure-fire way to LOSE a case, and leave yourself open to virtually unlimited liability for injuries, real or imagined, dreamed-up by the plaintiffs. see more.......
Jose Franco says the reports haven't helped him directly. But, he knows a few folks who have been able to dodge border patrol agents. He says the reports should continue.
Lima, OH-Sherrif Beck forms group to monitor illegals “In five years, if we do not work on this issue, it will be the single most significant issue from a crime and quality-of-life standpoint in this county,” Beck said. “We want to work as best as we can to get this curtailed before it becomes a problem.”
If anyone should ask why you should push for "Local Enforcement" as the answer to America's illegal immigration crisis, just tell them to "Do the Math!"

The open-borders lobby, fearful of losing the battle in public opinion and in state legislatures, runs to judges in the hope that they will ignore the will of the people. They found a friendly judge in New York, as noted above.
