We Must Protect Ourselves

Celso Campo-DuartesIn 2005, it was determined that Celso Campo-Duartes was in the country illegally after he was arrested for running down Dacula resident Aubrey Sosebee as the 83-year-old man was taking the mail from his mailbox. Campo-Duartes also left the scene of the accident, a fairly common act by illegal aliens.  He had no insurance and a fraudulent tag on his truck.

Campo-Duartes, who was employed as a plumber, spent just over two years awaiting trial in jail, then was allowed to plead to lesser charges and was released immediately on “time served.” A condition of his release was that he “voluntarily” deport himself, but Campos-Duartes is back in jail today, having been arrested—for at least the third time since his incarceration—for driving without a license and disorderly conduct.

Stuck Inside the Box: My Dissent to the Engage Gwinnett Report

The 94-page final report of the Engage Gwinnett committee is now online. It details the findings and recommendations of the citizen committee (of which I was a member) that examined Gwinnett County’s finances for over six months.

Despite our herculean efforts, I believe that our work product has serious deficiencies. In a nutshell, we nitpicked county departments while missing the bigger picture. We strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel. We didn’t see the forest for the trees. You get the point. Read more…

ICE to Inspector General Re 287(g): `We Fixed That`

 Newspapers across the country have hyped a report by the Office of the Inspector General that is critical of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s 287(g) program. What the papers don’t tell you is that the criticism is a bit stale.

The Inspector General examined the 287(g) program from February to July, 2009. In July, however, ICE began a substantial reformation of the program. Most, if not all of the problems detailed in the report have already been corrected:

Since the audit was conducted, ICE has fundamentally reformed the 287(g) program, strengthening public safety and ensuring consistency in immigration enforcement across the country by prioritizing the arrest and detention of criminal aliens — fulfilling many of the report’s recommendations.

Michelle Malkin: White House Preparing to Gut E-Verify

Just part of the Obama plan to destroy the United States’ preeminence in this world… “take the locks off the doors” and let everybody in to take your stuff:

Buzz on the Hill is that Team Obama will repeal some of the Executive Orders from the Bush Administration dealing with E-verify and so-called “No Match” Social Security number notices.

Senate Stimulus: 300,000 Jobs for Illegals?

Read this.

The Senate Stimulus bill currently being considered contains about $104 billion in new government funding for construction projects with the goal of creating jobs for millions of unemployed Americans. Unlike the House version, there is no provision in the bill to bar illegal immigrants from getting these taxpayer-funded jobs. This could result in several hundred thousand illegal immigrants receiving jobs.

Gwinnett’s Immigration Enforcement Leaves Much to be Desired

Gwinnett County recently announced that it would comply with a 15-month-old state law that requires it to verify the citizenship status of applicants for a new business license or renewal. But the county’s strict interpretation of the law creates a loophole large enough for an illegal alien to crawl through.

Commission Chairman Charles Bannister knows this. He also knows that there is a more effective enforcement tool available to the county, yet he has refused to use it.
