October 2004
Dreier targeted on immigration
Open-borders hack Rep. David Dreier (R-CA) is clearly running scared,
judging by his frantic behavior since an Oct. 6 internal poll. The efforts
of radio show reformers John and
Ken are clearly having the desired effect. They have been bashing
Dreier in the "political human sacrifice" campaign in order to smack the
national Republicans upside the head by taking out a powerful House member
who is out of touch with his constituents over the immigration issue.
Eustatic Racism in Eurabia
Yes, Europeans have taken notice of the cultural invasion happening under
their noses. The symptoms are frightening and growing: in the Swedish
industrial city of Malmo, the Muslim neighborhoods are too violent for
police to enter. President of the Jewish community of Goteborg Anders
Carlberg stated, "The fear of being attacked is the primary concern of
Jews in Sweden today."
Even so, the plan to welcome Islamic Turkey into the European
Union continues on, although EU membership would allow any Turk to move
anywhere in Europe. Talk about suicide on steroids.

Immigration spokesman urges teamwork
Northampton County (Pennsylvania) District Attorney John M. Morganelli
is a tough law enforcer when it comes to illegal immigration, so you might
think he would get cheers from the ICE department for a recent workplace
raid he conducted 10/27. Nope, nothing like approval, more like a lecture
to a subordinate where ICE spokesman Manny Van Pelt sniffed that Morganelli
failed to "co-ordinate" with national officials.
The raid at the Williams Township pallet company arrested
27 men who were charged with identify theft for allegedly using fraudulent
Social Security numbers. Van Pelt was miffed that four who were picked
up were legal permanent residents. Morganelli responded that ICE has been
unhelpful when he approached them in the past.
Bottom line: when it comes to immigration enforcement, no
good deed goes unpunished.
Last
harvest to herald unique suburb
One aspect to the immigration-fueled population explosion which is not
noticed enough is how our farming heritage is being paved over willy nilly
to house the newcomer millions. Precious family histories are bulldozed
under in order to facilitate growth and progress, which are thought to
be entirely positive values today.
Here is the story of the Brandtjen family farm, a beloved
local institution in Dakota County Minnesota, which is being turned into
a subdivision of 2,100 houses.
The
Man behind the Land
A better title for this news article might be "The Puppeteer of the
Sierra Club" because of David Gelbaum's strings-attached donations
of over $100 million to the organization. Many involved in the grassroots
effort to return population sanity to the Sierra Club were suspicious
of the mysterious money, believing that the funder might be behind the
sudden change in club viewpoint on domestic overpopulation.
But [Gelbaum] said Pope long had known where he stood on
the contentious issue. "I did tell Carl Pope in 1994 or 1995 that if
they ever came out anti-immigration, they would never get a dollar from
me."
Family
Ties and the Entanglements of Caste
Indians come to America, a land with no class distinctions, and insist
on bringing their racist caste system with them. The New York Times touches
on the unpleasant truth only briefly, as it alludes to social boundaries
that keep "untouchables" in their place. But there is no mention of the
violence
regularly inflicted on lowly dalits to this day in India. For a more
thorough analysis, see India's
Hidden Apartheid.
Skirting
Immigration
Why is there so little coverage of the crucial debate between the House
and Senate over the much-needed immigration provisions in HR10? This article
is a rare exception, describing a 911 family member who has been lobbying
Congress.
Also, see Speaker
Hastert's opinion piece about the importance of the legislation.
Immigration
issue rears its head 
Some Republicans in North Carolina are taking on immigration as an issue
than can win votes. The state has the country's second-fastest growing
Hispanic population, as a result of many thousands of foreigners flooding
in for increasingly scarce jobs. This ad is for the Senate seat contest
between Republican Richard Burr vs. Clinton pal Erskine Bowles, who favors
taxpayer-subsidized tuition for alien students.
Shocking Slay Stats for Women Immigrants
According to a study from the Bureau of Injury Epidemiology of New York
City, foreign-born women living there are 87 percent more likely to be
murdered by someone they know rather than by a stranger. "Immigration
is an extremely stressful event," said Dr. Susan Wilks, who heads the
city Health Department. "Relationships change, expectations of gender
roles change."
Immigration is stressful indeed. We do foreigners no favor
by allowing them to enter this society, which is enormously different
from the third world. Painful generation gaps split families when children
easily absorb American culture while parents may not be able to speak
English. Gang formation is one normal and expected result for disaffected
teens who look for a group of shared experience.
America should instead encourage sustainable development
abroad, particularly through the proven program of microlending.
On a planet of six billion people, America cannot begin to rescue the
multitudes of poor through immigration. Every nation must provide basic
economic opportunity for its people, which is not an impossible goal with
the common sense strategies of microloans.
In Miami, Hispanic majority takes hold
English-speaking Americans are fleeing Miami as it turns completely Latin.
Maria Burford is one, because she feels like a foreigner in her own community.
Arrogant clerks in stores are irritating: "They come up to me, and when
I don't speak Spanish, they give me a little attitude." In Miami, business
is done in Spanish, and English is not only not required, it is looked
down upon.
Government
Moves to Strip Citizenship from Former Holy Land Foundation Board Member
The government is implementing a rarely used federal statute, one utilized
in the past to deport Nazis, to repatriate a wealthy Dallas resident,
Rasmi Khader Almallah, to his native Palestine. The Holy Land Foundation
of Richardson, Texas, was closed by the Justice Department in 2001 for
funding terrorists, particularly Hamas.
Reports like this show up in the local press but rarely
get national attention. However, when the number and frequency of terror-associated
cases is considered, we have to conclude that America has been dangerously
infiltrated by murderous enemies.
Public's risk higher from violence-prone smugglers
Five were killed on Saturday (10/16) near Sierra Vista, Arizona, and 15
were critically injured when a truck filled with illegal aliens tried
to escape the police, speeding at up to 90 mph. The truck slammed into
nine vehicles lined up to make a left turn near Fort Huachuca and the
resulting carnage was horrific. Two of those killed were James and Emilia
Lee of Huachuca City, a couple in their seventies who had been married
only six weeks.
The increasing highway violence near the border is analyzed
in Single-vehicle crashes
involving illegal immigrants becoming commonplace. The report finds
that "six accidents involving illegal immigrants and their smugglers claimed
nine lives and caused dozens of injuries in less than one year" in southern
Arizona. Some of the victims are illegal aliens but many are innocent
bystanders caught in the border meatgrinder.
Iraqi
women flee colleges
Threats and actual violence by Islamic thugs have forced women who prefer
western dress to burqa imprisonment to defer their studies. One-third
of women students have requested postponing their classes until safety
can be assured. Islamic extremists have also demanded that classes be
gender segregated.
Bay
Area air quality is cleanest in 35 years
Good news: improved air due to tough regulations and better technology.
Bad news: "the Bay Area's population, driven by a powerful economy and
high levels of immigration, has increased nearly 50 percent in the past
30 years, from 4.6 million in 1970 to 6.8 million in 2000." Techno-fixes
can only go so far, and simply cannot keep up with a population explosion
of this magnitude, particularly since there is no end in sight: government
refuses to recognize that unlimited growth cannot continue without stresses
and breaks on natural resources and human-built infrastructure.
Islamic Agency Aids Terror
Here's an Islamic "charity" in Missouri being busted for supporting terror.
The Islamic American Relief Agency of Columbia was searched by FBI agents
Oct. 13, with the usual computers and cardboard boxes of files being removed
as evidence. The Treasury Department froze
the organization's assets and alleged that it has financially supported
bin Laden and other terrorists.
Is there any question that a dangerous fifth column exists
in the Muslim immigrant community in the U.S.? For example, a convicted
terrorist was released 10/13 in Detroit because one judge didn't like
the way the prosecution handled the case. Karim Kabrouti is at least being
electronically
monitored as a new trial is being planned.
American
Taxpayers Funding Health Care in Mexico
It's astonishing that at a time when emergency rooms are closing down
in the Los Angeles area (largely because of the growing number of uninsured
illegal aliens) the Bush administration is spending serious money to buy
medical equipment for hospitals in Mexico. HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson
visited Nogales, Mexico, to announce that $350,000 had already been spent,
and that a million dollars would be coming to purchase a CT scanner for
the emergency room!
Remember that Mexico
is rich and could well afford to pay for its own medical equipment.
It is an "immensely
wealthy nation" according to Mexico expert Prof. George Grayson of
William and Mary College. Mexico has the highest GDP in Latin America,
yet it
"raises less revenue through taxation than nearly any other Latin American
country." If Mexico were to tax itself at a more normal rate, it could
build infrastructure and provide better medical care. But it doesn't have
to, because of sucker Americans who treat Mexico like a poor relation.
Here's contact
info for HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson.
Witnessing Genocide in Darfur
Sixty Minutes (10/10/04) went to Chad and Sudan to film the truth about
the terrible violence in Darfur. Conclusion: the killing is ethnic cleansing
by Sudan's Islamic government to "wipe out all the native Africans in
Darfur, essentially to clear the territory for the Arabs." Interestingly,
the Diversity
Visa program for 2005 is welcoming 1,015 persons from Sudan, so some
of these genocidal murderers may be coming to America.
Why al-Qaeda Will Dominate the European Union
Pavel Kohout, an associate of the Center for Economics and Politics in
Prague, believes that Europe's cultural passivity and naive ideas about
Islam will be its downfall: "Western European politicians... want to
believe that there is no clash of civilizations; that terrorism is just
a product of misery and lack of education; that the solution lies in a
multicultural, tolerant society; and that the stubbornness of the Americans
and Israelis is to blame for all the problems." The demographic reality
of a rapidly growing Muslim population in places like France, as well
as the politics of oil, draw Europe more into the Islamic orbit and away
from its own roots of democracy, Christianity and individual rights.
Charities
see dollar signs in opposing Arizona Prop 200
How sweet it is for pro-open-borders "charities" to be nailed for their
conflict of interest. Of course, those "charities" are mainly churches,
and the Catholic Church is the big kahuna in pulling down serious cash
from unwilling taxpayers, receiving tens of millions of dollars annually
in Arizona alone. No wonder the bishops of Phoenix and Tucson fear the
passage of Prop 200 and say that "obeying civil laws may conflict with
their gospel mission."
Didn't Jesus say, "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's"
— namely obey civil law? The government allows churches to be tax
exempt with the idea that they would do good works or at least behave
themselves, not become masters of extortion in ecclesiastical robes.
Mexico's
Other Migrant Wave
Evidently there are jobs Mexicans just won't do. Or at least there are
no Mexicans left to do them, since many have left for the greener fields
of el Norte. In Zacatecas, fully half of the workforce has gone to the
U.S., so the fields there are being picked by Indians from other areas,
many of whom cannot even speak Spanish. Growers have had to increase wages
to attract workers, who have come for a better life. (Love those market
forces!)
But there have been complications. In parts of Zacatecas,
the Huichol Indians are said to be engaging in crime, and tensions have
grown between locals and newcomers. "They come to work, but they stay
and cause problems," remarked a Tlatenango reporter. Does that sound familiar?
Computer
disc found in Iraq contained floor plans, other data on schools in six
states
Is an American Beslan-style attack being planned by terrorists? That's
the fear arising from the materials found in Iraq. Why would anyone across
the world care about security plans for U.S. schools in southern California,
Michigan, Florida and elsewhere? Authorities urge citizens to be on the
lookout for suspicious characters engaged in "static surveillance."

Costa prepares for rapid growth
New York Times Columnist Nicholas Kristof examines the story of Mukhtaran
Bibi, a Pakistani young woman who was brutally gang raped over a criminal
cover-up connected with the rape of her brother. Instead of committing suicide,
as her culture required, she testified against her attackers. As a result,
some of them are facing execution and she provided a valuable role model
for oppressed Pakistani women.
Bharat Lal thought that murdering his wife would rid his 19-year-old son
Sandeep of an annoying ghost. Lal hacked his wife to death at a temple
of Kali and then proceeded to eat the dead woman's tongue. Here's a selection
of responses to the crime.
"One thinks the 21st century belongs to India."
The Iranian parliament rejected proposals to expand the inheritance right
of Iranian women and to adopt the U. N. convention that bans discrimination
against women. Instead of moving toward gender equality, lawmakers have
called for placing more restrictions on women's attire and on social freedoms.
More than 60 percent of university students are women, and nearly two-thirds
of the population is under 30, so the argument for gender reform is not
going away.
One little noticed problem with illegal immigration is the number of Mexican
wives who are financially abandoned when husbands head north for the promised
land. Some men remarry in the United States with no divorce — bigamy
is still illegal in both nations. The husband of Virginia Bocato de la
Pila was particularly rude when he moved back to his home town with the
new wife. Apparently there is no legal recourse there for such obvious
criminal behavior.
San Francisco columnist Joan Ryan brought her non-judgmental attitudes
with her on a trip to Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and was rather surprised
at the physical modernity while the lives of women remained mired in the
Islamic stone age. She accepted uncritically some politically correct
rhetoric from a Council of
American Islamic Relations (CAIR) flack who was an apologist for discrimination
against women. (CAIR is an anti-American, pro-terrorist group posing as
a civil rights organization — see Anti-CAIR.)
But Ryan at least came to a reasoned conclusion: "We cannot
force another country to change its values and customs so they better
reflect our own. But we don't have to accept them, either. Some customs
and values are not worthy of our tolerance."
This blog listing contains several translations from Swedish about how
bad life has gotten in Malmo in particular. Here's one item: Rapes
in Sweden as a whole have increased by 17% just since the beginning of
2003, and have had a dramatic increase during the past decade. Gang rapes,
usually involving Muslim immigrant males and native Swedish girls, have
become commonplace. Two weeks ago, 5 Kurds brutally raped a 13-year-old
Swedish girl.
As of September 2004, 12 northern Nigerian states have instituted Sharia
law. The group Human Rights Watch has published a report on how abuses
have grown under Muslim religious law. This
page displays a Nigerian poster which shows in pictures the crimes
and corresponding punishments. For example, a woman sitting close to a
man on a motorscooter receives a stoning; a theif gets his arm lopped
off. For the year 2005, the State Department is welcoming 6,725
Nigerians to immigrate to the United States under the Diversity Visa
program.
Contra Costa County lies on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay
and is mostly suburban bedroom communities with a population of one crowded
million people. Next to the totally urban San Francisco Couny, Contra
Costa is the most developed in the nine counties of the Bay Area with
more than 25 percent developed, compared with 19 percent in Santa Clara
County and 20 percent in San Mateo. The Association of Bay Area Governments
estimates that an additional quarter million people will live in Contra
Costa within 25 years.
