Illegal Immigration Watch: Elvira Arellano – The Toast of Tijuana
[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=lVU7680uE4E[/youtube]
Elvira Arellano in Mexico
Elvira Arellano deported to Mexico from the United States is becoming the Cause Celeb of illegal aliens.
Since Arellano was arrested in Los Angeles and returned to Mexico she’s engaged in a whirlwind of public appearances where she’s been heralded as a hero for defying U.S. authorities by taking sanctuary in a church.
In the United States, her yearlong battle made her a polarizing figure alternately viewed as an icon of immigrant rights or a selfish lawbreaker.
But in Mexico, Arellano’s experience is portrayed as a story of principled resistance, of a woman who fought before becoming one of the thousands of illegal immigrants who file sadly back into this border metropolis every year.
“You’ve become the voice of all the Elviras in the U.S.,” said Heriberto Garcia, of Mexico’s National Commission on Human Rights, an independent organization. “The voice of female undocumented immigrants who pursue the dream of working and forming a family.”
No Rule of Law spoken in Tijuana.
Does this attitude toward breaking American immigration law give ANYONE a CLUE?
Mr. President, secure the southern border as you promised. Close it now.

Illegal Immigration Watch: Elvira Arellano – The Rosa Parks of the Immigration Movement?
[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=vSGc3wxNIZE[/youtube]
Elvira Arellano vowes to keep fighting from Mexico
Is deported illegal alien Elvira Arellano the next Rosa Parks of the New Sanctuary Movement?
For the past year, Elvira Arellano has promoted an overhaul of U.S. immigration laws from inside a Chicago church, where the illegal immigrant sought refuge to avoid being separated from her U.S.-born son.
Now, after being deported Sunday by U.S. immigration officials, she is trying to stir sympathy from within her native Mexico.
She huddled less than 24 hours later with about a dozen activists to plan her next steps in Tijuana, just across the border from San Diego and only about 100 miles from where she says she entered the United States illegally in 1997. Her plans included a talk-radio show appearance Tuesday, a news conference at City Hall on Thursday and a rally Sept. 12.
“I have a fighting spirit, and I’m going to continue to fight,” Arellano, 32, said outside the second-floor apartment where she is living with a friend. Her 8-year-old son Saul will stay in Chicago with his godmother.
Activists and others appear to support the cause of Elvira Arellano, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was arrested and deported Sunday, at a news conference at Los Angeles’ Plaza Church Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2007. From left are Alfred Falcon-Colin of the Consejo de Federaciones Mexicanas en Norteamerica (COFEM), Hee Joo Yoon of the Korean Resource Center, Angela Sanbrano of the National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities, and Javier Rodriguez of the March 25 Coalition. Arellano has been promoting an overhaul to U.S. immigration laws from inside a Chicago church where she sought refuge to avoid being separated from her 8-year-old, U.S.-born son.
Oh Please……………

Illegal Immigration Watch: Why Elvira Arellano Had to Go
Elvira Arellano, the Mexican citizen that sought refuge in a Chicago church and was finally deported by the United States, talks about what the future holds after she was reunited with her son, Saul, 8, at an apartment where she is staying in Tijuana, Mexico Monday Aug. 20, 2007.
It is called the RULE OF LAW.
Flap doesn’t think the September 12 immigration protest or the Los Angeles protests this weekend will draw much sympathy from most Americans – because most are fed up with the Bush Administration’s failure to enforce the law and secure the Mexican border.

Illegal Immigration Watch: Elvira Arellano Arrested And Deported to Mexico
[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=qr6Uym-DZ2g[/youtube]
Illegal alien activist Elvira Arellano has been arrested and deported back to Mexico.
Elvira Arellano, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who has taken refuge in a Chicago church to avoid deportation for the last year, speaks to media at Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles church in Los Angeles Saturday, Aug. 18, 2007. Arellano, was arrested Sunday, Aug. 19, 2007, the church’s pastor said. Arellano was arrested in the afternoon outside Our Lady Queen of Angels church on L.A.’s historic Olvera Street where she had been speaking to reporters, said the Rev. Walter Coleman, pastor of Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago where she sought sanctuary
About damn time.
Arellano’s presence in the United States is an affront to the rule of law and is BULL.
Now, if the Bush Administration would enforce the existing law and start enhancing border security.
What happened to the National Guard on the border?
Update:
And Flap continues to be skeptical of the Bush Adminsistration.
How about an Executive Order, Mr. President?

Illegal Immigration Watch: Crackdown Will Hurt California?
A migrant tries to cross into the U.S. from the Mexican border town of Ciudad Juarez, under the bridge that connects the border city with El Paso March 6, 2006. The Bush administration said on Friday it would increase scrutiny and impose heftier fines on U.S. businesses that employ illegal immigrants as it sought to step up enforcement despite Congress’s failure to reform immigration laws.
Will a crackdown on California employers hurt the California economy?
California business is sure whining about it.
Market forces will correct for the inefficiencies of the illegal underground economy that is persuasive throughout California’s agricultural and service industries. This may take some time. But is the current system acceptable?
A crackdown for employers and border security measures (so illegal aliens cannot easily return or return at all) would initiate a self-deportation mechanism – hence saving the public billions in public welfare, infrastructure and education costs.
Build the fence, secure the border, crackdown on the illegal hires, and then we can talk about a Guest Worker Program if American business is strapped for employees.
Flap’s guess is that business will mechanize and make other adjustments when they no longer have a ready supply of illegal CHEAP labor subsidized by the American public.

Mitt Romney Watch: Romney HYPOCRITICAL on Illegal Immigration Sanctuary Cities Part Two
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAbsQtLtmzY&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fflapsblog%2Ecom%2F%3Fp%3D5417[/youtube]
Mitt Romney Tours San Ysidro, California – Mexico Border
Remember Flap called Mitt Romney a HYPOCRITE for his criticism of Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Now, Congressman Peter King likewise calls Romney a HYPOCRITE in this piece written for the Washington Times.
First, let’s address the most obvious of the problems with Mr. Romney’s recent aggressiveness on this issue: the utter hypocrisy of it. The Mitt Romney seen on the national campaign trail can’t seem to talk enough about his newfound toughness on illegal immigration, which will come as a surprise to many of the residents of Massachusetts who rarely heard a word on this issue while Mr. Romney occupied the corner office. While the new Mitt Romney, campaigning for president, insists he is the candidate best credentialed to control this country’s problem of illegal immigration, many of you may remember that under Mr. Romney, the illegal-immigrant population boomed in the commonwealth, illegal immigrants performed the former governor’s yardwork and sanctuary cities in Massachusetts went unchecked.
It is, I think, a fairly modest understatement to say that before he was openly interested in the presidency, Mr. Romney was quite disinterested in illegal immigration as a whole.
And if this is not enough to convince ANY voter that Romney is NOT right for the Presidency, then check out his other inconsistencies and oddities:

Rudy Giuliani Watch: New Radio Ad Highlights Illegal Immigration
Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani, holds up a card as an example of what a federal identification card should be like, as he speaks on his plans to change immigration policy at a town hall meeting in Columbia, S.C., Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2007.
The Rudy Giuliani campaign has a new radio ad launching today in Iowa and New Hampshire: “Fence”
The Transcript:
Voice Over: “Here’s Rudy Giulianiâ€
Mayor Giuliani: “It frustrates me that if someone comes here illegally, in addition to everything else that’s involved in that, if they commit a crime, we don’t throw them out of the country. As the mayor of New York I wanted to see if I could get the Immigration Service to help me. Let’s see if you could get rid of the drug dealers who are coming out of jail. It makes no sense – after they have been in jail for selling drugs in the United States – we now have to keep them in the United States. They couldn’t do it because they had other people lined up to throw out. They had like a professor who over-stayed his visa. I had a drug dealer who had maybe killed people. A person who comes here illegally and commits a crime should be thrown out of the country. People that come in illegally we gotta stop. You stop illegal immigration by building a fence, a physical fence and then a technological fence. You then hire enough Border Patrol so they can respond in a timely way. And then, if anybody becomes a citizen, we should make certain that they can read English, write English and speak English, because this is an English speaking country.â€
Voice Over: “Paid for by Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee Incorporated. Visit joinrudy2008.com.â€
Mayor Giuliani: “I’m Rudy Giuliani and I approve this message.â€
**********Now the Giuliani campaign will put those campaign resources they saved by not participating in the Ames Straw Poll to work in an early GOP Primary state media campaign.
Let’s see if Rudy can improve his poll numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire in 4-6 weeks.

Rudy Giuliani Watch: I’ll Stop the Invasion
I’ll Stop the Illegal Alien Invasion
Flap believes Rudy is committed to the task.
Today the Mayor was interviewed by Keven Cohen on WVOC-Columbia:
GIULIANI: “Well that’s what I’ve been talking about today. It’s one of my Twelve Commitments to the American People; each week this summer we’re focusing on a different one to try to explain it a little better. The second commitment of my Twelve Commitments is to end illegal immigration. And the way we would do that is to build the physical fence of 700 miles, fill in the other 1200 miles on the southwest border with a technological fence, hire more border patrol, deploy them in substations that would have them no more than 25 to 50 miles away from any point on the border. And then use the technological equipment, the camera equipment, the heat seeking equipment, the motion sensor equipment to alert the border patrol so they can be there and stop people from coming into the country. And then we’d have a tamper-proof ID card for every person who comes into this country from a foreign country. Tamper-proof means not only the photograph but also biometric data so that we can know everybody who’s s in this country. The goal has to be that we have to identify everyone coming into this country from a foreign country, otherwise you’re not allowed in the country.†…
Rudy identified the problem in 1996 and had no cooperation from the CLINTON Administration:[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=lLBoyuOVl5Q[/youtube]
Count on illegal immigration reform with this President – and it is about damn time.

Mitt Romney Watch: Romney HYPOCRITICAL on Illegal Immigration Sanctuary Cities
Republican presidential hopeful former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney stands in front of the fence separating the United States from Mexico while answering questions concerning his immigration policy during a visit Monday Aug. 13, 2007 in San Diego. Romney is flanked by campaign aide Tony Strickland, left, and Calif. State Senator Mark Wyland.
Last week Mitt Romney criticized Mayor Rudy Giuliani on the illegal immigration issue and the fact that New York City was a so-called “sanctuary city” during Rudy’s tenure as Mayor.
If you remember, Flap called Romney a HYPOCRITE for his outburst. And why?
1. Illegal Alien Guatemalans mowing his mansion grounds for ten years.
2. While Romney was governor, the commonwealth of Massachusetts became one of the six states with the largest growth in unauthorized migrant population, from 2002 to 2004, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, with somewhere between 200,000-250,000 new illegal immigrants.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDVKWBVk6xA&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fflapsblog%2Ecom%2F%3Fcat%3D178[/youtube]
3. In the past, Governor Romney supported more LIBERAL positions on illegal immigration than the 2007 recently failed Kennedy-McCain legislation. In fact, he supported President Bush and Senator McCain’s efforts to change current law in favor of “AMNESTY.â€
4. And here is Mitt Romney FLIP – FLOPPING on illegal immigration positions:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rr6-CcOJPw&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fflapsblog%2Ecom%2F%3Fcat%3D178[/youtube]
Say what?[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9tVzXSIALA&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fflapsblog%2Ecom%2F%3Fcat%3D178[/youtube]
“Romney’s being a hypocrite on this issue,” said Joseph Curtatone, the Democratic mayor of Somerville since 2004. “I did not receive any mandate, any communication, anything at all from him about this. If it’s so important to him why didn’t he have the state police enforcing it?”
Curtatone, president of the Massachusetts Mayors Association, adds that his May 2006 declaration of Somerville as a “city of hope” committed to providing services to illegal immigrants was just official recognition of what exists everywhere in his state.
“I don’t know of any community in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts — whether by official declaration or by their action — who has not adopted the same policy,” he said. I never heard Gov. Romney bring it up one way or another.”
So, is Romney flipping on sanctuary cities, or being dishonestly hypocritical AGAIN?
Mitt Romney = HYPOCRITE
Mitt Romney = WRONG for America
More Mitt Oddities:
Scientology book one of his favorites
None of Mitt’s five adult sons had served in the military
Mitt get off the California and Mexico border. You supported Amnesty and allowed sanctuary cities when it was expedient politically for you to do so.
Please do not embarass yourself any more.

Illegal Immigration Watch: Crack Down?
A man walks along the border fence between the US and Mexico 29 June in the Anapra area of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
The Bush Administration will announce today a crack down on illegal immigration. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez will be making the 7:30 AM PDT announcement.The Bush Administration has no credibility on this issue. the President and his amnesty supporting minions in the U.S. Senate tried to ram an illegal immigration plan down the American people’s throat.Mr. President – secure the border and enforce the law.Enough of the pronouncements that you are doing something – DO IT!
Storm clouds swirl above a sign at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Port of Entry along the US-Mexico border 27 June in Columbus, New Mexico. US businesses are bracing for a possible major crackdown on illegal foreign workers, as the government seeks to give immigration authorities more power to punish companies hiring undocumented workers
