    Default Illegal immigration in the news




    Immigration advocates and enforcement agents may not agree on much, but there is one group that the two sides have long pushed to put under greater scrutiny: the employers who hire workers who are in the country illegally.

    The Trump administration appeared to take a step toward that goal this month, launching a widely publicized series of raids at close to 100 7-Eleven locations in towns and cities across the country.

    The action was not the first large-scale workplace crackdown by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents under Trump – they previously raided eight Asian restaurants in Mississippi last February, for example, apprehending 55 people suspected of being in the country illegally. But it hit far more locations and was among the most widely publicized. And it also appeared principally aimed at employers.

    The approach – in the wake of Trump's bombastic rhetoric promising a crackdown on illegal immigration – caught some observers by surprise.

    "From the advocacy side, we were expecting to see massive work-site raids along the lines of what we saw in 2006 and 2007 in the last years of the Bush presidency, and those obviously haven't materialized," says Jessie Hahn, labor and employment policy attorney at the National Immigration Law Center, a group dedicated to defending the rights of immigrants. Instead, "this looks a lot more like an audit."

    The reference to an "audit" goes back to President Barack Obama, who issued a memo in April 2009 just a few months after taking office announcing that ICE raids at workplaces would focus less on the employees working the factory floors and picking crops and more on their managers and bosses.

    The move was widely seen as a reaction to the high-profile raids carried out under President George W. Bush, where agents dressed in tactical gear arrived by truck and helicopter and stormed the manufacturing plants and warehouses of major companies, arresting workers suspected of being in the country illegally by the hundreds.

    we need to focus more on how this hurts blacks and asians. Make illegal immigration into a latino issue so that we can get the other voting blocks.

    Good suggestion, yet I must take issue with your characterization.

    I don't think people are necessarily "blocs" of voters based on race or ethnicity. That's disgraceful DEMOCRAT dogma which I disdainfully dismiss.

    Instead, I prefer to raise awareness of the pros and cons of the issue, secure in the knowledge that a plurality of voters will weigh the evidence and act accordingly.


    It may be early yet to tell which approach the Trump administration is committing to – the high-profile raids of the Bush administration or the audits favored by Obama. But this month's action suggests that both approaches are on the table.

    "What it seems is that they're doing a hybrid of those two investigations," Hahn says, at least so far as the raids at the 7-Elevens, which were carried out at 98 locations in 17 states.

    They also seem to indicate that employers, who some believe have long successfully deflected punishment for their hiring practices, are squarely in the crosshairs of immigration enforcement.

    u fight the left using thier tactics.

    They have spent years conditioning their voters to believe they are part of a victim group. You use that to break through them. Is it better to educate them to make them view themselves as individuals again? Sure but you can do that when they are voting republican already. That will take time.

    Undocumented workers. Not illegal.
    If it where illegal you should be deported for going one mile over the speed limit. Further if your kids are in the car with you they should be sent back to your country of origin. Not here in, 'Murica'.
    Only the best and pure LAW Literal 'Muricans'.

    STOP HATING AMERICA!!!!

    Default Cultural enrichment in action



    Authorities have charged a Mexican national with multiple felonies stemming from the rape of a 7-year-old girl in Indiana.

    Officials charged 24-year-old Huber Morales with five counts of child molesting - two counts as level one felonies and three as level four felonies.

    Morales allegedly touched the young girl on multiple occasions and repeatedly raped her and told investigators that it wasn't his fault because "strong black magic" was being used against him.

    The child Morales is accused of sexually attacking told investigators that he touched her genitals "a lot of times."

    The sexual abuse was first reported after the victim was taken to the hospital at the beginning of the month for genital herpes, at which point she told a nurse that she was molested by him.

    Morales, who is in the US illegally, is expected back in court towards the end of February.

    The crime rate among illegal immigrants is twice that of other residents, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Friday, citing a new report based on conviction data.

    The report, from the Crime Prevention Research Center, used a previously untapped set of data that detailed criminal convictions and found that illegal immigrants between 15 and 35 are less than 3 percent of the population, but nearly 8 percent of the prison population.

    And the crimes they were convicted of were, on the whole, more serious. Among nearly 4,000 first- and second-degree murder convictions, illegal immigrants accounted for nearly 13 percent — significantly higher than their percentage of the population. Legal immigrants, by contrast, were less than 1 percent of convicts. Native-born made up the rest.

    Default Lock 'em up

    Two Dreamers living in the U.S. under the Obama-era DACA program were arrested on suspicion of human smuggling in separate incidents, federal officials reportedly said.

    The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Monday that one of the men was in the country under the program and the other’s program had expired.

    The report said that one incident occurred when a resident near Torrey Pines State Beach observed what looked like human smuggling.

    Border agents pulled over a vehicle and found the driver—who was the 20-year-old DACA recipient whose status expired. He reportedly admitted to smuggling after two Mexican nationals in the country illegally were found in the car.

    In a separate incident, a 22-year-old Mexican national, a DACA recipient who lives in Riverside, was allegedly caught scouting an area for smugglers in Campo, Calif.

    Both suspects are in custody.
