    Default "Undocumented"




    The State Department was hit in two separate locations last week by a thief who got away with dozens of cellphones and electronic equipment.

    A suspect was arrested after he allegedly tried to sell the equipment at a Hispanic restaurant in Virginia, and all the stolen devices were retrieved.

    The suspect was identified by police as Joel Enriquez-Bueno, an undocumented migrant with no known fixed address. He was charged with grand larceny, grand larceny with intent to sell, breaking and entering, and giving a false identity to police.

    It is unclear why someone apparently targeted two different State Department facilities across the river from each other on the same day, suggesting they were not chosen at random.

    It also is unclear whether it is just a coincidence that the thefts happened during the partial shutdown or whether the thief failed to realize that Diplomatic Security, which is responsible for protecting property as well as lives, is fully staffed despite the shutdown.

    Police said a man had “piggybacked” into the secure buildings, slipping in behind someone else. Police declined to specify what other electronic devices were taken. Police determined the thief went to a Hispanic restaurant less than half a mile away on Fort Myer Drive and attempted to sell them. While canvassing the area, they located a man they said matched the thief’s description and took him into custody. Police recovered all the stolen equipment, said police spokeswoman Ashley Savage. The purloined phones contained no classified material.

    Default Defenders of illegal immigration have ignored Americans for many years

    More than 10,000 bricks have been sent to members of Congress by thousands of people who advocate building a wall the length of the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border.

    Many of the bricks are painted red, white and blue with slogans like "No Amnesty," "Build a Wall Now!" and "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors."

    "It’s a tangible way to get the point across without having to take a vacation day to protest in the streets," said Kirsten Heffron, of Fairfax.

    She’s one of the founders of the Send-a-Brick Project, which was born in an online forum when one writer joked that lawmakers didn’t seem to understand the concept of a wall and that maybe he would send his representatives a brick to help get him started.

    The idea wasn’t as off-the-wall as first thought, the group realized. It was creative, constructive and more effective than e-mail.

    "You can’t delete a brick," Heffron said.

    The group created a Web site, www.send-a-brick.com, and spread the word through friends and family. You can send a brick to Congress or, for $11.95, the group will send a brick for you. Soon radio talk show hosts grabbed hold.

    Although the Senate last week didn’t include a wall in its immigration plan, the bricks keep coming.

    And the next target of the campaign is President Bush.

    The office of Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., has received 10 bricks so far; Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., has nearly a dozen; and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., has been mailed three, each with the same attached letter: "We are tired of open borders, uncontrolled immigration, terrorist infiltration, the spread of pandemic diseases, criminal alien gangs and all the other horrors that can arise due to our defenseless borders and unenforced immigration laws."

    Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J., called the project organizers to ask what to do with all the bricks. "Build a wall," he was told. In the end, the project agreed with the congressman that the bricks could go to an organization like Habitat for Humanity.

    Senator Mel Martinez, R-Fla., has received enough bricks to pave much of an aide’s office. But Martinez still voted against building a border wall.

    The project

    » The Send-A-Brick Project started in April to advocate for building a wall the along entire U.S. southern border. The group also is pushing for more Border Patrol personnel and improved technology for customs and border operations.

    » The project has sent about 8,000 bricks to members of Congress and estimates that at least 2,000 have been sent by constituents on their own.

    » Capitol officials recently have been collecting the bricks from lawmakers’ offices to donate them to a nonprofit group.

    It's not a partisan issue. Although DEMOCRATS openly advocate for the "rights" of illegal immigrants, plenty of Republicans ignore the crisis on our southern border too.

    That doesn't answer Jack's question old friend.

    Would you like to try again?

    Default Why would DEMOCRATS oppose an effective border barrier?

    Really? That just sounds like a limp response to the "Fuck you Donald Trump- and you Donald Trump ass-kissing idiots- and your Fucking Wall" answer by the Democrats.
