Lawmakers are weighing in and calling for Newsom's resignation as well as pundits, media and opinion editorials declaring that they believe that Newsom as well as other officials should be held legally responsible for being complicit in the death of the Bologna father and sons. http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree. blogspot. com/2008/07/san-francisco-sanctuary-city-shielded. htmlNews that SHOULD be presented by all the major, TV and radio networks, the BEATING DEATH OF A TWO-YEAR OLD GIRL BY HER OWN GRANDFATHER, is given in only 116 words on the website of a local, TV station in Oklahoma City. Now whyyyy would midstream media “journalists” like Nancy Grace, Wolf Blitzer and Katie Couric not pick up this story? That’s right, you guessed it, it’s an ILLEGAL ALIEN who murdered the little girl. And telling the truth about illegal aliens to the American people is bad for Big Business and Democrats. And besides, it’s “racist” to speak honestly about “undocumented immigrants”. The killer, ILLEGAL ALIEN from Guatemala, Herman Marzelo Vail Bailon, is a 32-year old GRANDFATHER, who just couldn’t keep his hands off the little girl. Police detained the ILLEGAL ALIEN SCUMBAG for questioning on Saturday after they were called to an Oklahoma City motel room where employees had been asked to help a choking toddler. But police say the presence of blood in the room indicated there was something more sinister happening. Police arrested the ALIEN PUKE on a child abuse complaint. Doctors then noticed bruising on Liliana’s body and further examination revealed the girl’s skull had been fractured and that she had suffered other injuries. AMERICA, DON’T EXPECT TO EVER HEAR ABOUT THIS AGAIN. In Michigan, ILLEGAL ALIEN, Rodrigo Delacruz-Encarnacion, killed 52-year old, William O’Brien, when the unlicensed, illegal alien with fake ID turned into the path of O’Brien, causing O’Brien’s Harley-Davidson, motorcycle to smash into the invader’s van. The illegal alien then tried to escape, forcing witnesses to detain the killer until police arrived. The denverpost says, “Driver identified in I-70 crash”, when what they SHOULD be saying is. “DRUNK ILLEGAL ALIEN KILLS HER OWN FRIEND”. A man was pronounced dead Friday night after being ejected from a sport utility vehicle carrying eight people involved in an alcohol-related crash off of Interstate 70 in Eagle County, according to the Colorado State Patrol. Jose De Jesus Trinidad-Esparza, 19, was pronounced dead at the scene. It is unknown where Trinidad-Esparza resides, the patrol reported. The driver has been identified as Lenora Hernandez, 20, of Avon, Colo. She faces numerous charges, including vehicular homicide, careless driving causing bodily injuries, driving under the influence and no driver’s license. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents found that Hernandez was an illegal alien, according to the patrol.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Stepfather booked in child’s death kten. comOKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A 32-year-old man has been booked with first-degree murder in the death of his 2-year-old granddaughter. Police detained Herman Marzelo Vail Bailon for questioning on Saturday after they were called to an Oklahoma City motel room where employees had been asked to help a choking toddler. But police say the presence of blood in the room indicated there was something more sinister happening. Police arrested Bailon on a child abuse complaint. Doctors then noticed bruising on Liliana’s body and further examination revealed the girl’s skull had been fractured and that she had suffered other injuries. Liliana died on Sunday. Federal immigration officials later said that Bailon, a native of Guatemala, is illegally in the United States. Illegal immigrant charged in fatal motorcycle crash in Holland blog. mlive. comHOLLAND (Michigan)– An illegal immigrant who allegedly caused a fatal crash by turning in front of a motorcyclist was charged Thursday with trying to leave the scene of the deadly collision. Rodrigo Delacruz-Encarnacion, 25, is jailed on a $100,000 bond following his arraignment in Holland District Court on the felony, which is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Police say Delacruz-Encarnacion is responsible for killing William O’Brien, 52, of Holland in an 8 p. m. Wednesday crash. O’Brien was driving his 1996 Harley-Davidson south on Butternut Drive when the suspect’s minivan turned into the path of his motorcycle. O’Brien could not avoid the crash, and struck the passenger side of the van. He died at the scene. His family declined to comment on the accident. Ottawa County sheriff’s Lt. Steve Kempker said witnesses had to detain Delacruz-Encarnacion at the scene of the crash until police arrived. He was arrested and taken to the Ottawa County Jail. The suspect has been in the country illegally since the spring and has been working odd jobs and living in migrant camps, police said. He allegedly had fraudulent identification when he was arrested. Authorities believe Delacruz-Encarnacion is a risk for fleeing the area since he has no ties to Holland. Driver identified in I-70 crash denverpost. comA man was pronounced dead Friday night after being ejected from a sport utility vehicle carrying eight people involved in an alcohol-related crash off of Interstate 70 in Eagle County, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

She faces numerous charges, including vehicular homicide, careless driving causing bodily injuries, driving under the influence and no driver’s license. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents found that Hernandez was an illegal alien, according to the patrol. The patrol reported that none of the passengers had ID on them. At approximately 11:50 p. m Friday, Hernandez lost control of a 1999 Ford Expedition heading westbound on I-70 and ran off the right side of the road. The vehicle rolled over two full times, ejecting Trinidad-Esparza. He was not wearing a seatbelt. The seven survivors suffered minor to moderate injuries and were treated and released from Vail Valley Medical Center. One of the passengers, Karen Rosales, 22, of Edwards, Colo., was found to have a $5,000 arrest warrant for assault and weapons charges, according to the patrol. No other vehicles were reported to be involved. http://reportanddeport. wordpress. com/2008/07/24/illegal-aliens-kill-2yo-girl-kill-motorcycle-rider-eject-and-kill-friend/TOMBSTONE — A Department of Public Safety officer was assaulted by an illegal immigrant following a traffic stop Thursday, the agency said Friday. The vehicle, which had been pulled over for unsafe lane use, stopped and then sped away as the officer approached the vehicle, stopping in a dirt pullout, according to the DPS. The driver, also an illegal immigrant, tried to run, then the officer tried to restrain him, at which time the officer was attacked by a passenger who attempted to choke him. After the officer broke free, the men fled. Six other illegal immigrants were in the vehicle and held at gunpoint by theAs the Illegal Immigration issue has taken a back-burner in this years Presidential election, the effects of open borders and a broken immigration system still linger on the American people. Just the other day, Tony Bologna and his two sons were shot to death after their car came close to another car driven by illegal alien felon Edwin Ramos. Ramos, 21, an illegal alien from El Salvador, simply pulled out his gun and killed these men in cold blood. Just last March, San Francisco police arrested Ramos on a gun charge and already had two other felony convictions before that. However, due to San Francisco’s “sanctuary city” policy, the city officials did not alert Homeland Security about Ramos. According to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, “We are standing up to say to all of our residents, we don’t care what your status is in terms of legal certification.” Since the shooting, Newsom has rescinded part of the sanctuary policy, but it is far too late for the Bologna family. How many times does this have to happen to American families? How many people have to suffer for the Federal government to step in and secure our borders? Deptford woman killed, illegal driver held on DWI, death by auto chargesby South Jersey News Online Friday July 25, 2008, 11:11 AMFRANKLIN TWP. -- A 51-year-old Deptford Township woman died Thursday from injuries she received when her car was hit by an illegal immigrant who was driving drunk and with no license, police said. The crash occurred at about 5:35 p. m. Mijail L. Hernandes, 24, of Lake Worth, Fla., was driving a 2000 Chevrolet Suburban west on Route 40 and allegedly failed to stop at a red lght, police said. The Suburban hit a 2008 Hyundai Tucson driven by Yvonne M. Pennewell, which was traveling south on Main Road, Route 555, said police. The Hyundai was forced off the Hyundai. Pennewell and her passenger, Crystal D. Ashmore, 25, of Vineland, had to be freed from the car by rescue crews. Both women were airlifted to Cooper Medical Center in Camden. Pennewell died at Cooper. Ashmore was listed as being in serious condition, said police. Hernandes was taken to South Jersey Regional Health Center in Vineland, treated for minor ijuries and released. Hernandes was charged with death by auto, aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, unlicensed driver resulting in death, unlicensed driver resulting in serious bodily injury, driving while intoxicated, failure to obey a traffic device, reckless driving, unlicensed driver and failure to wear a seat belt. Hernandes was committed to the Gloucester County Jail in Woodbury in default of $250,000 full cash bail. Police said the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement department has placed a detainer on Hernandes, as well. http://www. nj. com/southjersey/index. ssf/2008/07/deptford_woman_killed_illegal. htmlhttp://www. projo. com/news/content/supreme_court_immigration_07-20-08_1VATOVP_v33.3bf0d3c. html“The trial justice was faced with a young woman who entered the United States illegally, without notice to her family, and who then failed to protect her child in face of horrific abuse and continually lied to protect the abuser,” the court stated. Milan Azar, Lopez-Navor’s lawyer, said the case still haunts him. “In all my years as a lawyer, very few cases really stick with me but this one does. It was very sad.”Kevin Aucoin, chief legal counsel for DCYF, acknowledged that it is an emotionally wrenching case. “It certainly is a tragic case.“But this is a case where DCYF’s paramount concern had to do with the safety of the children, Alexis and Victoria,” said Aucoin. An illegal immigrant charged with killing two people in a South Richmond car crash now faces a $2.3 million wrongful-death suit filed by the family of one of the victims. The administrators of the estate of Kathryn L. Jones, who was fatally injured in the May 24 wreck, also has named as a defendant the construction company for which Carmen Alejandro Garcia-Hernandez was employed. Garcia-Hernandez was driving a pickup truck registered to R. J. Biringer Construction Co. Inc., whose owner, Ronald J. Biringer, is under federal indictment for transporting illegal immigrants. Richmond police allege that Garcia-Hernandez was driving the truck when it ran off Snead Road and hit a parked car that spun around and fatally injured two people standing next to it, Jones, 44, and Joseph Owens, 40, of Alberta in Brunswick County. Jones, a native of South Hill and the mother of two children, lived in the neighborhood were the crash occurred and was attending a house-warming party when she was struck, said Charles H. Cuthbert Jr., her attorney. She had been employed several years as a security guard for Wackenhut Corp., he said. After the crash, police said Garcia-Hernandez, 28, tried to flee the scene on foot, but witnesses detained him until officers arrived. He was indicted June 9 on two counts of aggravated involuntary manslaughter, driving while intoxicated and felony hit-and-run driving. According to the lawsuit, Garcia-Hernandez had a blood-alcohol level of 0.15, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08.His employer, Ronald Biringer, was indicted March 19 by a federal grand jury in Richmond on a single count of transporting illegal immigrants to Fort Lee. He was arrested a day later and released on bond. http://www. inrich. com/cva/ric/news. apx.-content-articles-RTD-2008-07-18-0234.htmlThe governor cited the recent arrest in Providence of Marco Riz, an illegal immigrant arrested several times before he allegedly kidnapped and raped a Warwick woman, as an example of the need for his executive order. Carcieri’s order requires law enforcement and correctional officers to work closely with immigration officials to identify illegal immigrants. “Illegal immigration is a huge issue in our state and around the country,” Carcieri told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. “This case just epitomized that and, unfortunately, the City of Providence, which is our capital city, has not climbed on board. They are in the dark ages, if you will.”http://www. projo. com/news/content/Carcieri_oreilly_07-08-08_0IAPJDR_v17.3f5d00d. htmlKENANSVILLE — Two men targeted through investigations into methamphetamine sales in Duplin County are now in custody after separate searches at their homes collectively yielded nearly a kilogram of methamphetamine, $30,000 in cash and seven firearms. One of the men, Benito Rayo Zavala of 3262 Hwy. 111/903, Albertson, is facing a long list of felony charges at the county level, while federal charges are pending against Ernesto Rayo Morales of 126 L. G. Westbrook Lane, Albertson. The men’s ages have not been confirmed by local authorities. Morales is an illegal immigrant and Zavala is also believed to be in the country illegally, Duplin County Sheriff Blake Wallace said in a recent press conference. The sheriff noted that both arrests were made as a result of probes by the multi-agency Duplin County Drug Enforcement Task Force, which executed search warrants at separate homes in the Albertson area earlier this month. Zavala was arrested on July 7 in the more recent case, when an investigation into the possible manufacturing and selling of methamphetamine culminated in a search of Zavala’s home. http://www. clintonnc. com/articles/2008/07/26/news/doc488a9ad2823d0605274558.txt

Has violence against Americans increased because of the immigration issues?
Ok its kinda long, and its sad. if u don't want to read all of it just read HELL ON WHEELS and KILLING THEM W/OUT KINDNESS Porking You UpIt’s a fact—ham, sausage, and bacon strips will go right to your hips. Eating pork products, which are loaded with artery-clogging cholesterol and saturated fat, is a good way to increase your waistline and increase your chances of developing deadly diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, asthma, and impotence. Research has shown that vegetarians are 50 percent less likely to develop heart disease, and they have 40 percent of the cancer rate of meat-eaters. Plus, meat-eaters are nine times more likely to be obese than pure vegetarians are. Every time you eat animal products, you’re also ingesting bacteria, antibiotics, dioxins, hormones, and a host of other toxins that can accumulate in your body and remain there for years. Learn more about animal products and your health. Pigs Have Feelings TooNinety-seven percent of pigs in the United States today are raised in factory farms, where they will never run across sprawling pastures, bask in the sun, breathe fresh air, or do anything else that comes naturally to them. Crowded into warehouses with nothing to do and nowhere to go, they are kept on a steady diet of drugs to keep them alive and make them grow faster, but the drugs cause many of the animals to become crippled under their own bulk. Learn more about cruelty to pigs. Check out these videos from pig farms in Oklahoma, North Carolina, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Pigs and PlaystationsThink that you can outplay a pig on your Playstation? You may be surprised. According to research, pigs are much smarter than dogs, and they even do better at video games than some primates. In fact, pigs are extremely clever animals who form complex social networks and have excellent memories. Eating a pig is like eating your dog! As actor Cameron Diaz put it after hearing that pigs have the mental capacities of a 3-year-old human: "[Eating bacon is] like eating my niece!" Learn more about pigs. Pigs Prefer Mud, Not CrudPigs are actually very clean animals. If they are given sufficient space, pigs are careful not to soil the areas where they sleep or eat. And forget the silly saying “sweating like a pig”—pigs can’t even sweat! That’s why they bathe in water or mud to cool off. But in factory farms, they’re forced to live in their own feces and vomit and even amid the corpses of other pigs. Conditions are so filthy that at any given time, more than one-quarter of pigs suffer from mange—think of your worst case of poison ivy, and imagine having to suffer from it for the rest of your life. Learn more about what happens to pigs in factory farms. Check out the mange-ridden pigs on these South Dakota and Nebraska pig farms. Farming Family ValuesFactory farms are pure hell for pigs and their babies. Mother pigs spend most of their lives in tiny “gestation” crates, which are so small that the animals are unable to turn around or even lie down comfortably. They are repeatedly impregnated until they are slaughtered. Piglets, who are taken away from their distraught mothers after just a few weeks, have their tails chopped off, their teeth are clipped off with pliers, and the males are castrated—all without painkillers. Learn more about cruelty to pigs. The Manure Is Blowing in the Wind …A pig farm with 5,000 animals produces as much fecal waste as a city of 50,000 people. In 1995, 25 million gallons of putrid hog urine and feces spilled into a North Carolina river, immediately killing between 10 and 14 million fish. To get around water pollution limits, factory farms will frequently take the tons of urine and feces that are stored in cesspools and turn them into liquid waste that they spray into the air. This manure-filled mist is carried away by the wind and inhaled by the people who live nearby. Learn more about how factory farming damages the environment. Bacteria-Laden Bacon and Harmful Ham Extremely crowded conditions, poor ventilation, and filth in factory farms cause such rampant disease in pigs that 70 percent of them have pneumonia by the time they’re sent to the slaughterhouse. In order to keep pigs alive in conditions that would otherwise kill them and to promote unnaturally fast growth, the industry keeps pigs on a steady diet of the antibiotics that we depend on to treat human illnesses. This overuse of antibiotics has led to the development of “superbacteria,” or antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. The ham, bacon, and sausage that you’re eating may make the drugs that your doctor prescribes the next time you get sick completely ineffective. Learn more about the effect of eating meat from sick, diseased, and drugged animals. Hell on WheelsMore than 170,000 pigs die in transport each year, and more than 420,000 are crippled by the time they arrive at the slaughterhouse. Transport trucks, which carry pigs hundreds of miles through all weather extremes with no food or water, regularly flip over, throwing injured and dying animals onto the road. These terrified and injured animals are rarely offered veterinary care, and most languish in pain for hours; some even bleed to death on the side of the road. After an accident in April 2005, Smithfield spokesperson Jerry Hostetter told one reporter, “I hate to admit it, but it happens all the time.” Learn more about cruelty to pigs during transport. Killing Them Without Kindness A typical slaughterhouse kills up to 1,100 pigs every hour, which makes it impossible for them to be given humane, painless deaths. The U. S. Department of Agriculture documented 14 humane slaughter violations at one processing plant, where inspectors found hogs who “were walking and squealing after being stunned [with a stun gun] as many as four times.” Because of improper stunning methods and extremely fast line speeds, many pigs are still alive when they are dumped into scalding-hot hair-removal tanks—they literally drown in scalding-hot water. Learn more about what happens to pigs at slaughter. Ditch the Bacon and Get Fakin’Save pigs from hell and yourself from bad health by feasting on faux pork products instead. Stuff a sandwich full of Yves brand veggie ham slices, or throw some Lightlife Smart Bacon into a sizzling skillet—the freezer and “health food” sections of your local grocery or health food stores are packed full of these and other tasty substitutes. go to http://www. goveg. com/factoryFarming. asp to see more

A woman named JaneA mother plays an important role in her daughter’s life. This definitely applies to me. I have known my mom my whole life, but never thought of here as anyone other than my mom until I got older. Being a mom is hard, this I now know from experience. We have shared many wonderful, funny, and sad times. There have been times were we did not get along at all. Now, we are able to agree to disagree about some things. I know my mom did a lot of sacrificing for me and my sister. I have just recently come to appreciate that. Anyone can be a mom, but it takes someone special to be a mother and friend. I was born via emergency cesarean section in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on March 25, 1983. My mom was flown by helicopter from Springdale Hospital to St. Johns. I am told it was storming that day. My dad had to drive the four hours to Tulsa; this was before the new highway. I was born two months early because my mom was diagnosed with preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is genetic and I had it with my first pregnancy as well. Preeclampsia causes high blood pressure and causes extreme water swelling. These complications can be life threatening. The doctors told my dad that their first priority was to save the baby. Meaning they were not sure if my mom was going to survive, and that I stood the best chance of surviving. My mother amazingly did survive and we stayed at St. Johns for the next two weeks. After we were released we went back to our home in Springdale, Arkansas. I do not remember being a toddler. My mom has told me I acted very mature and did not get into trouble. She has also said that if my sister had been born first, her and my dad probably would not have had any more children. She was a strong willed child. My sister was not born until I was seven. My parents thought if they had us farther apart we wouldn't fight as much. That idea did not work out so well. We fought a lot when we were younger. After my sister was born my mom went back to school. She went to Northwest Technical Institute for secretarial and business. I remember helping her study. I did not realize at the time how hard that must have been. My dad helped out, but I was seven and my sister was seven months old. My mom went to school full time and worked part time. Two years after she got out of school her and my dad decided to separate. Thankfully it was not one of those horrible, cringing divorces. Still that must have been a terrible time for my mom. After the divorce me, mom and my sister moved into a town house in not so good part of town. We now laugh about when we lived in the ghetto. My mom worked full time job at J. B. Hunt. She seemed to always be at work. When she was not working long hours she would try and cook dinner for us. The smell seeping out of our house sometimes around six o'clock was often of burnt food. Around the holidays she would work two jobs. I recently found out that she only made seven dollars an hour then. Even though that was a few years ago, I wonder how she was able to pay all the bills. I was in Drill Team at Central Junior High and that is expensive. My sister and I were never in need of anything. My mom always found a way to provide for us. My dad also helped and we spent every other weekend with him. She was always at home with us when she was not working or we were not at our dads. Some of the funnier times together have involved cars. At one time we had this red and white striped station wagon. It was horrible. It would squeak like a dog toy, only very loud, every time my mom turned the corner. I was a teenager and was humiliated. My mom would tell us she hated it too and soon we would get a new car. After that car, we got a car that looked fine on the outside. Looks can be deceiving. My mom referred to it as the sweat box. It had no air conditioning. It seemed even if you had the windows rolled down it was still hotter than hell. One time we went on a road trip in that car to six flags. My mom has the worst since of direction. She also has too much pride to stop and ask for directions if she is lost. So as we were driving toward War Eagle to get to St. Louis, Missouri, which is the wrong way, she drove around a corner and one of the hub caps went flying off. She looked at me and said, " Kristy, jump out and get the hub cap." I was laughing and said, " No way how embarrassing." But I went and got the hub cap anyway. We spent that whole trip chasing after that hub cap. We still laugh about that. People must have thought we were crazy. My mom is also some what of a risk taker. Still to this day she likes to see how low she can run on gas before she has to get some. I now laugh about this funny trait of hers. As a child the idea of running out of gas was scary. When I was fifteen my dad died unexpectedly in a car crash, all of my family was very upset. My mom picked me up from school to tell me what happened. She had been crying. That time was very hard for the both of us. My mom tried the best she could to comfort me. She held me when I would cry. She told me funny stories about when her and my dad dated. I think it was during that time that I started realizing that she was someone other than just my mom. She was actually a woman. A woman who loved and grieved for my dad. A woman who had struggled financially for a few years to give me and my sister everything we wanted. She was a person who at that moment was trying to be strong for someone else, when she too was hurting. I felt very close to her during that time. My mom is someone I admire for many reasons. She has done a lot of sacrificing in her life for me. When I was born she almost lost her life. As I got older she worked very hard to give me everything I wanted. She has also been not only my mother, but a great friend. Now I know her not only as my mom, but as Jane Scott, a funny, giving and loving person. There is a quote by Abraham Lincoln which I feel sums up how I feel about my mom " All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother."
