Mexican Jihad

Written by Raymond Ibrahim - Gatestone Institute Friday, 18 May 2012 04:12

As the United States considers the Islamic jihadi threats confronting it from all sides, it would do well to focus on its southern neighbor, Mexico, which has been targeted by Islamists and jihadists, who, through a number of tactics—from engaging in da'wa, converting Mexicans to Islam, to smuggling and the drug cartel, simple extortion, kidnappings and enslavement—have been subverting Mexico in order to empower Islam and sabotage the U.S.

If Romney is “still deciding” on immigration…the GOP needs another candidate

Written by Dave Gibson - Immigration Reform Examiner Friday, 18 May 2012 02:22

During a Tuesday press conference, Republican National Committee's Director of Hispanic Outreach, Bettina Inclan told reporters that presumptive nominee Mitt Romney has yet to make a decision on how to deal with the important issue of illegal immigration.

Inclan stated: “My understanding that he is still deciding what his position on immigration is.”

Though less than an hour after making this damaging admission, Inclan sent out a Tweet, saying: “I misspoke, Romney's position on immigration is clear.”

Horrific Violence in Mexico Likely to Affect July Presidential Election

Written by voanews.com Friday, 18 May 2012 02:21

HOUSTON, TEXAS - The discovery of 49 decapitated and handless corpses on a highway near the city of Monterrey, in Mexico's northern Nuevo Leon state on Sunday, has drawn attention once again to the brutal drug war that has claimed more than 50,000 lives in that Latin American nation during the past six years.  Shortly before the discovery in Monterrey, dozens of bodies were found in the border city of Nuevo Laredo and in the central city of Guadalajara.

In Nuevo Leon, authorities are investigating the brutal slaughter of 43 men and six women, whose identities are difficult to establish, according to state public security spokesman Jorge Domene.

Illegal immigrant a 20-year worker at NJ airport

Written by news.yahoo.com Friday, 18 May 2012 02:20

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — For 20 years, co-workers on the security team at one of the nation's busiest airports knew him as Jerry Thomas. His real name, authorities say, was Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole, a Nigerian who used the name of a murder victim to hide his status as an illegal immigrant.

Though there's no indication of any other intent or transgressions, the revelation came the same day a federal report found that Newark Liberty International Airport mishandled security breaches.

Oyewole, 54, worked at the airport, starting in 1992, using the name of Jerry Thomas, who was killed that year in New York City. He was arrested Monday after an anonymous tip at his home in Elizabeth and faced charges including identity theft, authorities said.

It's Not the People Who Vote that Count; It's the People Who Count the Votes

Written by washingtonexaminer.com Wednesday, 16 May 2012 04:33

The once red-hot issue of illegal immigration has cooled considerably in recent months, in large part because of studies like one from the Pew Hispanic Center that said the flood of people entering the U.S. from across the Mexican border has slowed, and that the number actually returning to Mexico from the U.S. has increased, reversing a decades-long trend.

But federal law enforcement agents on the border are skeptical that the illegal immigrant tide is slowing. And new information from the U.S. financial sector shows that more money is flowing from American cities to Mexico in the form of remittances from immigrants than last year.

49 dismembered bodies found in Mexico

Written by azstarnet.com Tuesday, 15 May 2012 03:57

MONTERREY, Mexico - Forty-nine bodies with their heads, hands and feet hacked off were found Sunday dumped on a northern Mexico highway leading to the Texas border in what appeared to be the latest carnage in an escalating war between Mexico's two dominant drug cartels.

Local and federal authorities discovered the bodies before dawn lying in a pool of blood at the entrance to the desert town of San Juan, on a highway leading from the metropolis of Monterrey to the border city of Reynosa. A white stone arch welcoming visitors was spray-painted with black letters: "100% Zeta."

Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Jorge Domene said at a news conference that the 43 men and six women would be hard to identify. The bodies were being taken to a Monterrey auditorium for DNA tests.

Migrant law leaves farmers worried

Last Updated on Tuesday, 15 May 2012 03:56 Written by azstarnet.com Tuesday, 15 May 2012 03:56

ONEONTA, Ala. - Some Alabama farmers say they are planting less produce rather than risk having tomatoes and other crops rot in the fields a second straight year because of labor shortages linked to the state's crackdown on illegal immigration.

Keith Dickie said he and other growers in the heart of Alabama's tomato country didn't have any choice but to reduce acreage amid fears there won't be enough workers to pick the delicate fruit.

New efforts from BLM to guard desert in southern Arizona

Written by azcentral.com Monday, 14 May 2012 01:41

Since October, the Bureau of Land Management has expanded its operations at two national monuments in southern Arizona, trying to crack down on smugglers and illegal immigrants who trample and trash the pristine desert on their way north from Mexico.

The federal agency has brought in more than a dozen law-enforcement rangers from other states to beef up patrols at the Sonoran Desert National Monument, south of Phoenix, where towering saguaro cactuses, wide-open valleys and flat-topped mountains create one of the most iconic vistas in the Sonoran Desert. The operations also have focused on the Ironwood Forest National Monument north of Tucson.

Infowars.com correspondent Patrick Henningsen mounts part one of an in depth investigation into Operation ‘Fast and Furious’ in the search for accountability, understanding how it happened, and who is responsible, with highlights of Congressional hearings, White House speeches, and exclusive interviews with ranking members of the Arizona state legislature. The conclusions are a damning indictment of a federal government bent on restricting the Second Amendment, in a conspiracy that has already cost lives along the US border with Mexico.

Border Patrol unveils first new strategy in 8 years

Written by foxnews.com Wednesday, 09 May 2012 02:25

The U.S. Border Patrol on Tuesday unveiled its first national strategy in eight years, a period in which the number of agents more than doubled and apprehensions of people entering illegally from Mexico dropped to a 40-year low.

The new approach -- outlined in a 32-page document that took more than two years to develop -- uses buzzwords like "risk-based" and "intelligence-driven" to describe a more nuanced, targeted response to constantly evolving threats.

Investigators: Militias not suspected in April border-crosser killings

Written by azstarnet.com Tuesday, 08 May 2012 04:43

Anti-illegal-immigrant activists were not involved in the April 8 murders of two border crossers south of Eloy, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has concluded.

It appears that rival smugglers or bandits were responsible for the shootings, which happened just after 10:30 p.m. on Easter night, said Capt. Chris Nanos, head of the department’s criminal investigation division.

Immigration and unemployment

Written by Vox Day - wnd.com Tuesday, 08 May 2012 02:53

Long before there was a Republican Party, the idea that free trade and immigration foster economic growth was a staple among many Americans. Even today, there are few on the right side of the political spectrum who have bothered to review this centuries-old logic or examine the considerable amount of empirical evidence that has been gathered from decades of quasi-free trade or 47 years of mass foreign immigration.

Last month’s unemployment report was not good. While the U3 unemployment rate was only 8.1 percent, which is bad but not disastrous, the number of Americans not working was actually much higher than it would appear due to the statistical games being played by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Drug Cartels Keep Arizona's Border Wide Open

Written by Leo W. Banks Tuesday, 08 May 2012 02:51

Our illegal immigration problem is over.  President Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano have delivered on their promises.  The border is finally secure.

This narrative, building steam nationally, pays no mind to the elephant no one is talking about, and it's one huge elephant.

I'll get to that in a moment.

First, the news on border crossings is good, judging by apprehensions in the busy Tucson Sector.  In 2011, Border Patrol agents here arrested 123,000 people entering the country illegally.  As recently as the middle of the last decade, the number pushed close to half a million.

At least 23 people killed in Mexican border city as victims hanged, decapitated

The bodies of 23 people were found hanging from a bridge or decapitated and dumped near city hall Friday in the border city of Nuevo Laredo, where drug cartels are fighting a bloody and escalating turf war.

Authorities found nine of the victims, including four women, hanging from an overpass leading to a main highway, said a Tamaulipas state official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to provide information on the case.

HSI targets bandit crews that exploit the Arizona border

Written by imperialvalleynews.com Saturday, 05 May 2012 00:31

Nogales, Arizona - You'll find them in Arizona's most remote areas, brandishing firearms and bullet-proof vests. They are on the hunt for weapons traffickers or drug smugglers. But they're not law enforcement officers.

They are bandit crews - criminals - who will do anything to make a profit, which often means murdering and stealing from other criminals in the desert.

"Mexican drug smuggling organizations sometimes use bandit crews to police their desert smuggling routes and rob from competitors," said Kevin Kelly, assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Nogales, Ariz.
