Al Sharpton Protests Day Laborer Deportations in Connecticut

"The Rev. Al Sharpton criticized Danbury officials for using undercoverpolice officers to promise jobs to day laborers in 2006, only to turn them over to federal agents for deportation. The arrests were unfair, Sharpton told a Danbury church congregation Sunday. 'I don't lie to folks and then deport them,' Sharpton told about 350 people at New Hope Baptist Church on Sunday. 'I'm coming to a town that switches bait,'" the AP reports. "Mayor Mark Boughton has said waves of immigrants are straining schools and leading to other problems such as crowded housing and unlicensed drivers. A message was left with Boughton on Monday."

I think this is a great way to round up illegals. If big corporations can post phony job leads to bring in H1b workers, why not use the same tactic to round up and deport illegals. It's probably much more cost effective. Here in Cook county, the police told a bunch of criminals they had won Chicago Bulls tickets (during the Michael Jordan era). When they showed up to claim their prizes, they were all arrested on outstanding warrants. Where was Al Sharpton then?

Ridiculous complaint from Sharpton. Police run crime stings all the time. This is no different.

Does Al know that 40% of all black male unemployment is caused by illegal aliens? This is the result of a study done by Dr Frank Morris of the Coalition of Future American Workers. Doctor Morris is a black civil rights worker. All Al wants is the spotlight without regard for his fellow blacks.

Sorry, I leave this one to the black community in Danbury, we're way too busy out in Caliofornia trying to keep our taxes from skyrocketing to support the continuous Mexican and other foreign nationals invasion of Kaleeeeforneeeea. Our Democratic Governor, oops sorry I mean Republican Governor(yeah right!) has his hands full.

You'd think Mr. Sharpton would be more concerned with what's happening in L.A.

Hundreds brawl at LA high school-broken up by police
LOS ANGELES — A fight that broke out at a troubled South Los Angeles school escalated into a campuswide brawl involving as many as 600 students before it was quelled by police in riot gear.

The melee, which students said started around noon Friday between rival black and Hispanic gangs, forced authorities to shut down Locke High School and keep students in their classrooms. After restoring order, they rounded up students who hadn't returned to class and separated them by race, holding Hispanics in the gym and black students in another room.

About 65 percent of the 2,600 students enrolled at Locke are Hispanic, and 35 percent are black.

A simple case of the tail wagging the dog. We pay
police, ice, et al to maintain law order and security in this country otherwise we are faced with anarchy. Any criminal including illegal immigration
should be, yes must be addressed. We The American
public by and large simply can't carry the extra load imposed upon us by the illegals. Mr Sharpton
should be addressing the issues imposed upon us by
this invasion. My advise to you sir is to turn your collar around and run for public office.

Posted by: willow on May 10, 2008 10:59 AM

Hey Al,
Anything that gets them out is okay. Don't you realize that illegals take the jobs that blacks used to do? Or do you really care? I'm sure the businesses show their "appreciation" in many ways.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO JAIL AL, AFTER YOUR FBI PROBE?

Of course you'd never lie against innocent suspects, re: false allegations in Duke La Crosse party scandal when you and Jesse ganged against them.

See the proof Al may get a striped suit for worse than just lying:

Black Ministers in the L.A. area have been asking Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson to come and help them restore some semblance of civility in their neighborhoods for years but, as one Black Minister said, "there's not enough money or media coverage in it for them to come here".
Mr. Sharpten conveniently forgets that Blacks are the biggest group being displace by illegal "cheap labor" aliens. Blacks have also become the biggest racial cleansing target for Hispanic gangs. Blacks are now outnumbered by at least 4 to 1, and block by block, are being forced out of their own neighborhoods by Hispanic gangs that are getting increasingly vicious and bloody.
Backed by a Hispanic Mayor and mostly Hispanic city counsel, police enforcement in those area's is almost nonexistent.
What happens when Hispanic gangs completely push out the Black residents? Affluent citizens are moving into gated, and privately guarded complexes. Sooner or later L.A will erupt into one gigantic racial war! It's just a matter of time and the right circumstances to ignite it.

AL SHARPTON: NO

Posted by: SUSAN MARIANO on May 11, 2008 07:45 PM

Maybe Al and Jesse should both be deported.

Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on May 12, 2008 10:21 AM

Please tell me why Al and Jesse are no longer standing up for the black Americans who are, by far, more displaced by illegals than any other group of workers? There is profiteering written all over this...I just wish someone could expose them for the P'sOS that they are!

Posted by: takn on May 12, 2008 01:49 PM

Bush Signs Mariana Islands Immigration Bill

"United States President George Bush has signed into law Senate Bill 2739, which applies U.S. immigration law to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; and grants the Commonwealth a non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives. U.S. Rep. George Miller, who has sought reform of the Northern Marianas’ labor and immigration laws, said the new law will put an end to the old way of doing business which had led to the exploitation of guest workers and had stifled the local economy," Pacific Magazine reports. "Miller lashed at disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his allies in the former Republican-controlled Congress for blocking reform for over a decade. 'Although it was clear to nearly everyone that the CNMI’s system was broken and unfair, it took a Democratic Congress to end this sordid chapter in American history. This new law responds to recommendations from the Bush Administration, the Clinton administration, the INS, the Commission on Immigration Reform, human rights activists, and many others. This law will usher in a new, safer and more just era for the Northern Mariana Islands, and for the men and women who live and work there,' he said."

Excellent! Now the latinos can be diverted to illegally immigrate to the Mariannas!

Posted by: HAD IT on May 9, 2008 01:47 PM

It cannot be a good law if both the Bush and Clinton teams support it. Let's look at the fine print.

OUR PRESIDENT'S SLAVE LABOR PRIORITIES

GW worries so much about his big business getting cheap labor, that he has no time to deal with our severe recession and imminent possible depression stagflation that unplanned overgrowth obviously caused.

That's why he puts most of his political efforts on the 6% of Latino voters in nAmerica and flushes the other 94% down the toilet with a dinky emergency check in the mail (which he wanted to go to the illegal slaves too, until FAIR and others stopped him and Pelosi).

Posted by: Softwarengineer on May 10, 2008 04:13 PM

Only in America! I don't understand it, but for years our politicans have screwed American citizens. If you don't believe me, check the following:

A. Trade agreements are signed to export our jobs. Where are the textile mills in the Carolinas? Where are the steel mills in Pennsylvania? Why has membership in the UAW gome from over 200K to 67K?

B. Next our politicans imported 30 million illegal aliens to take our jobs, crowd our schools & hospitals and keep wages low.

C. Next our politicans tax American citizens so that illegal aliens can have free health care, free food stamps, free educations, housing assistance, etc.

Only in American would politicans dare to export jobs, import illegal aliens and raise taxes on American taxpayers.

Posted by: Rick S on May 10, 2008 05:19 PM

Please STOP all illegal immigration and all forms of immigration whether it be leagal or illegal until we have a REAL number of the peope who are already here. Stop this INSANITY while we are STILL A COUNTRY..STOP all Visa's for 10 years. It appears that you have a plan to change this country DRASTICALLY and that is not what the AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT....What happened to PRIDE IN AMERICAN'S? There is something going on and I don't like it one bit. JM

Politics Interferes With Police Work on Immigration

"But in Los Angeles and New York, as in any number of cities across the country, police officers have other considerations in mind as they take to the streets each day, considerations that are only tangentially connected to fighting crime. The questions of how large a police department a city should maintain and how to distribute the officers are, like any question on the allocation of government resources, political ones," says National Review columnist Jack Dunphy. "And we are still embroiled in a debate over how LAPD officers should deal with illegal immigrants, with the mayor, the police chief, and virtually the entire municipal political apparatus openly hostile to the notion that police officers should expand their role in enforcing immigration laws. The LAPD is currently governed by the terms of Special Order 40, a 1979 modification to department regulations which prohibits police officers from taking police action based solely on a person’s immigration status. A recent high-profile murder prompted City Councilman Dennis Zine, a retired LAPD sergeant, to propose a modest amendment to the regulation that would authorize officers to report illegal-alien gang members to federal immigration authorities. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a man openly and enthusiastically sympathetic to illegal immigrants, has been vocal in his opposition to such a change, as has LAPD Chief William Bratton."

More of the same for American citizens of LA! LA taxpayers are shelling out $1 billion a year to provide illegal aliens with benefits. When will the amdness end?

Posted by: Rick S on May 9, 2008 04:37 PM

Special Order Forty, regardless of what groups like the ACLU, say, has lead to the deaths of many innocent people in Los Angeles. Los Angeles in run by Mexican Nationalists at heart, including the Mayor and is a true THIRD WORLD CITY, exhibiting all the crime, poverty, and corruption.

Posted by: Bobby on May 10, 2008 03:12 AM

LA's MAYOR IS "PRETTY BOY FLOYD"

Let's call LA's police chief, "Baby Faced Nelson".

This is what happens in organised crime sanctuary cities that declare anarchy against the US Constitution's immigration laws.

It becomes a Mafia Sweat Shop city. LA, you can say good-bye to your honest and legal Americans, I predict they'll take themselves and their businesses out ou your Hades Hole, if they haven't already. Then you and Governor Terminator will really be terminated.

Posted by: Softwarengineer on May 10, 2008 04:24 PM

Does anyone really believe Villaraigosa has the interest of AMERICA first and foremost, when it comes to l. a. Wake up AMERICA.

Posted by: Lchar on May 10, 2008 09:27 PM

The mayor and thepolice chief should both be tried for failing to uphold their sworn duties - to uphold the law. I would think that Federal Law would trump some local polity but I guess not, evidently.

Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on May 12, 2008 10:30 AM

L.A. IS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN, CRIME INFESTED CESS POOL, RUN BY A MECHA MILITANT MAYOR, AND A LEFT WING CITY COUNCIL.

NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNTIL THESE TRAITORS ARE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE FOR GOOD!
