ICE and the PROTECT ACT - Protecting the children of Mexico and the world

EL PASO — Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents arrested a San Elizario, Texas man on Thursday after he was indicted on sex tourism charges, authorities said.

PROTECT, which stands for Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today, was signed into law in 2003. “Sex tourism is a federal offense that ICE investigates aggressively with ….Read More

Lou Dobbs - Blame it all on Mexico - Why Not!

For the past few years, Lou Dobbs has led anti-immigrant forces against amnesty, against illegal Mexicans, against Mexico, against his own government, and against the truth. His rants have been less than truthful; once almost causing a panic in the United States when he brought forth on his show the issue of illegal Mexicans coming over the border infected with Leprosy, or Hansen’s disease, a chronic infectious disease which causes horrific disfiguration upon those who are infected. Lou Dobbs lied to stir the American people to rise up against the Mexican people and he is doing it once again with ….Read More

With the addition of the Mexican state of Coahuila to the list of cleared states on the Center for Disease Controls list of approved retailers, evidence is pointing away from Mexico as a source of the contamination for the recent salmonella outbreak. Mexico is the major source of tomatoes for US consumption during the winter months. Mexico’s agriculture ministry said Friday that a two-week study of Mexican tomatoes by its specialists — conducted in tandem with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration — has found the tomato crop to be free of infection. Salmonella Saintpaul is a strain of bacteria ….Read More

Yesterday was the tenth month of the Mexican Cross Border Pilot Program and an assessment of the performance of the participants reveals no surprises, at least for me. For those who oppose the program, the results might be an eye opener disputing Jimmy Hoffa’s claims of “dangerous Mexican trucks”. Ironically, it coincided with Byron Dorgan’s ultimately futile attempt to stop the program. Methodology Obviously, we took the USDOT numbers assigned to the participants and ran them through the FMCSA SAFERSYS database. All records are current through 6/20/2008. Next, we choose the date range (09/11/2007) which was the date the first ….Read More

How appropriate is it that on July 4, 2008 we are freed from the hateful thoughts and rhetoric of this vile excuse for a human being. Former Sen. Jesse Helms, who built a career along the fault lines of racial politics and battled liberals, Communists and the occasional fellow Republican during 30 conservative years in Congress, died on the Fourth of July. He was 86. Helms died at 1:15 a.m., said the Jesse Helms Center at Wingate University in North Carolina. The center’s president, John Dodd, said in a statement that funeral arrangements were pending. This is the man that ….Read More
