Why so angry about illegal immigration?
The rage and anger surrounding illegal immigration is visible everywhere. In the outright
racist comments posted on the Internet. In blistering arguments on television. And in tense standoffs in the streets. It seems the signs of discontent are only growing. But in a nation built by immigrants, why are people so angry? Speak with any activist from the dozens of anti-illegal immigration groups that have sprouted up in Arizona, and they’ll tell you about the “do-nothing” Congress. Rusty Childress, founder of United for a Sovereign America, says that is one of the key issues that continues to draw people to his group. But Childress believes the media’s coverage of immigration also adds to the rage. “You don’t see stories about the lack of illegal immigration enforcement,” he said. “They’re not there or if they are they’re hard to find.” Story.

Cash-for-kids crime does not pay
BISBEE — A Phoenix woman who attempted to smuggle two children through the Douglas
port of entry was sentenced to 27 months in prison. Monica Rodriguez, 27, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transport an illegal alien for profit and failure to appear. She attempted to enter the U.S. on at the Douglas port of entry in a commercial shuttle. She was traveling with two boys, ages 3 and 13. She presented Arizona birth certificates belonging to her own children to show they legal residents. She admitted she was not related to the boys and did not know their names. She said she was to get paid $500 per boy by an unknown woman to cross the boys into the U.S. and take them to Border Mart in Douglas. She failed to appear in court for a preliminary hearing. She remained a fugitive until she was re-arrested at the Nogales port of entry Dec. 28. Story.

New & improved employer sanctions
The original law, which took effect in January, was intended to lessen the economic incentive 
for illegal aliens to come to Arizona, the busiest illegal crossing point in the United States. Illegal aliens account for an estimated one in 10 workers in the Arizona economy. “Is it as tough as I like? Probably not,” said Republican Rep. Russell Pearce of Mesa, author of the original law and its revisions. “But is it fair and will it still go after illegal employers? Absolutely.” Pearce noted a change that was meant to target unscrupulous employers who would insulate themselves by hiring subcontractors who then employ illegal immigrants. Under the latest changes, employers would violate the law if they used subcontractors who were known to employ illegal immigrants. Story 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ HB 2745
DPS’s IIMPACT, that’s what I’m talk’in about
Having already had success busting several gangs of suspected human smugglers, a special team of U.S. and local police ratcheted up their efforts Friday by moving into new headquarters to further coordinate their work. The group, known as the Illegal Immigration Prevention and Apprehension Co-op Team, or IIMPACT. “Even in the short time it has been operational, IIMPACT is already making a difference as we in law enforcement deal with the scourge of human smuggling and all the crime associated with it,” Roger Vanderpool, the director of the state Department of Public Safety.

Phoenix Public Safety Manager unwilling to crackdown on “undocumented Americans”
Public Safety Manager Jack Harris will release the final revisions to its policy on illegal aliens this month. Harris explained the changes to Operations Order 1.4 and responded to
criticism that the police department is soft on illegal immigration. Harris said it will strike a balance between extremes of turning a blind eye to the immigration status of even violent criminals and diverting his officers from more pressing duties to track down non-criminal day laborers. He said that the new policy will allow the police department to work more efficiently with ICE while avoiding exposure to costly racial profiling and civil rights lawsuits. He also said that criticism of his department for refusing to take on the issue of illegal immigration is unfounded (NOT!). Story. PLEA.
Civilian Discourse
Amnesty Demands Fall Flat, Fizzle
Ira Mehlman, national media director of the Federation for American
Immigration Reform, an anti-illegal immigration organization, said rallies like those being held Thursday have lost their impact,” KNBC reported. “I think ultimately, as impressive as they were two years ago … ultimately they backfired. It was very impressive to get a half a million people on the streets of Los Angeles, but what the American public saw were people demanding benefits and privileges based on breaking the law,” Mehlman said.

Deportation cure for economy, jobs
Unemployment rates are rising across the United States, except Oklahoma. That state is experiencing the most dramatic reduction in unemployment since 2007, an improvement many in Oklahoma attribute to the passage last year by the state legislature of a strong employment-focused immigration reform law. “Oklahoma is no longer ‘OK’
for illegal aliens,” said State Rep. Randy Terrill. “The bottom line is illegal aliens will not come here if there are no jobs waiting for them,” Terrill said. “They will not stay here if there is no government subsidy, and they certainly won’t stay here if they know that if they ever encounter our state and local law enforcement officers, they will be physically detained until they are deported.” The Oklahoma law imposes strict penalties on employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens, makes it a felony to transport or shelter illegal immigrants, forbids the state to issue drivers licenses or pay social welfare benefits to illegal aliens or their families, and empowers state and local police to enforce federal immigration laws. Will they try to pretend that Oklahoma’s improvement doesn’t exist, because finding out why might expose some inconvenient truths, and hurt the cause of illegal-immigrant ‘amnesty.’ Story.
If I were President of the United States
It is absolutely ludicrous to say we are fighting a war on terror half way around the world when we refuse to secure our borders and ports. If I were President, I would immediately seal our borders. I would also see to it that employers in America who knowingly hire illegal aliens are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In plain language: 
any employer who consciously hires illegal aliens would go to jail. They would not pass Go; they would not collect $200; they would go straight to jail. By sealing the borders and by cutting off the money supply to illegal aliens, the problem of illegal immigration would dry up. As it is, we have no idea how many potential terrorists–not to mention violent gang members such as MS-13–have snuck (and are sneaking) through our borders. And speaking of illegal immigration, as President, I would enforce our visa rules. This means anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law is immediately deported. There would be no “path to citizenship” given to any illegal alien. That means no amnesty. Not in any shape, manner, or form. I would not allow tax dollars to be used to pay for illegal aliens’ education, social services, or medical care. As President, I would end birthright citizenship for illegal aliens. There would be no “anchor babies” during my administration. Link.
Sanctuary Sucks
Illegal alien rapes, impregnates 11 year old
An 18-year-old illegal alien has been arrested in connection with the rape of an 11-year-old girl. Enrique Jacobo-Valdez was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail on two counts of sexual 
conduct with a minor. Jacobo-Valdez, who is known to the young girl’s family, is currently unemployed and had a warrant out for his arrest from Pinal County for possession of dangerous drugs. The sheriff’s office dispatched deputies after receiving a phone call from the victim’s grandmother indicating that she found the 11-year-old locked inside a bedroom. The man was running from the home when the girl finally opened the door. The grandmother and mother of the victim took the girl to a local hospital where it was determined that she is at least six weeks pregnant and may have been impregnated by the rape. Jacobo-Valdez returned to the girls’ home where he was arrested by deputies for the Pinal County felony warrant. During an interrogation, he admitted raping the 11-year-old. Story.
Sheriff tells illegals to get out of town
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio still isn’t saying when he will take his crime suppression patrols to Mesa. He says there’s a reason for the delay — he’s giving illegal immigrants a chance 
to get out of town. “I’m giving them a chance to pack up and leave, so when I do go in there, there may not be a big problem,” he said. If an illegal immigrant needs a ride, Arpaio says, “Call 602-876-1000 and we’ll make arrangements. Maybe we’ll even pick them up.” In the meantime, “The only message I can give to the people here illegally is to pack up, take a bus, go back. If they want a free ride, they can always call me… I’ll be glad to take care of them, especially those in Mesa. If they want to go back home, I’ll be glad to help them. Maybe I won’t have any problems to enforce when I decide to go to Mesa.” Story.
