"Most unauthorized illegals not deported"

April 15, 2005, World Peace Herald, wrote a piece by Stephen Dinan as follows:
"We have a million individuals who are in some phase of immigration proceedings released,"
said Victor X. Cerda, the acting director of detention and removal operations for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

He said of those people, 465,000 are fugitive aliens who have committed an offense in addition to immigration violations, but he couldn't provide an exact number.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican, and Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, demanded to know why Mr. Cerda was not doing more to have illegal aliens removed

Jonathan Cohn, a deputy assistant attorney general, told the panel that court decisions over the years will result in the government having to release dangerous criminal aliens as well.

"The aliens that are being released include murderers, rapists and child molesters," Mr. Cohn said.

Members of the subcommittees also ended up taking sides on whether the Minutemen patrolling the Arizona border are "vigilantes," as President Bush called them.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, said he agreed with Mr. Bush's characterization, and told Mr. Cerda to let him know what the Department of Homeland Security's policy was on dealing with vigilantes. (End of Quote)

(U.S. Senate @ work!) (Now let me tell the real story about the "Joke," Homeland Security!)

December 18, 2005, Idaho Press-Tribune, "Most unauthorized illegals not deported" by Ben Fletcher, Idaho Press-Tribune, who wrote the following:
IMMIGRATION: Federal agents lack resources needed to address scope of problem.
CANYON COUNTY - As it stands, most undocumented immigrants (illegal aliens) living locally will "not be deported."

A combination of policies, procedures, resources and inadequate incarceration space "ensure Canyon County stands as a safehaven for illegal immigrants."

Federal agents working locally don't shy away from offering an explanation either.

"For general illegal aliens, we do not have the resources to pursue it," said Immigration and Enforcement (ICE) Senior Special Agent Jeff Wolstenholme.
"We do not have the manpower to do our job."

What that means is if an undocumented (illegal alien) immigrant living in Canyon County manages to stay out of jail, he or she very likely won't be deported.

Officials say there are too many of them, meaning ICE agents must be selective.
"We prioritize based on serious criminal aliens -- that's what we're looking for --
and criminal organizations related to aliens," Wolstenholme said.

Even when possible illegals are detained for crimes committed in Canyon County, there's no guarantee they'll be deported. As it stands anyone detained on a misdemeanor charge including illegals, can bond out of jail in about an hour -- before a report on bookings is sent to federal agents the next morning.

"If you have have an illegal alien, we wouldn't know that because they haven't been investigated yet," Jail Lt. Teri Carpenter said. (End of quote, I can't stand anymore at this time!)

(The Idaho Press-Tribune is not the largest newspaper, The Idaho Statesman advertises circulation in Ada and Canyon County, yet they have not mentioned any part of this news release and believe me there is more. I met with a group in Boise, Ada County residents, who had no knowledge of the sanctuary situation in Canyon County. The first response, was,
"who or whom is protecting us from illegal alien criminals and terrorist, if law enforcement has no idea who these people are, what the hell is going on?")

"And Ted Kennedy along with his side-kick Rino McCain, with Senate Bill S1033, want to give 20-million plus illegal aliens a guest-worker amnesty controlled by
the biggest joke of 2005, Michael Chertoff, now with Princess Julie Myers, Bushie's new ICE chief, Homeland Security. They spend a lot of money, but NO ACTION!"

The Phantom Fourteenth

From the December 2005 Idaho Observer:

The Phantom Fourteenth

An excellent, 60-page book entitled "The Phantom Fourteenth" by Patrick Henry Omlor documents the evidence proving, beyond doubt, the invalidity of the 14th Amendment—the "legal" justification for every apparently unconstitutional law enacted by Congress since 1868.

Dec. 4, 1865: Eighty lawfully elected delegates from 11 Confederate states were denied a voice in the 39th Congress when the speaker simply refused to call out their names allowing them to be seated. This unprecedented act was clearly in violation of Article I (Sections 2 and 3) and Article V of the U.S. Constitution. All enactments ensuing from the 39th (and the subsequent 40th) Congress, in lawful contemplation, are null and void.

June 13, 1866: The joint resolution of Congress proposing the 14th Amendment, which passed while excluding the voices of the 80 duly elected Confederate representatives, was null and void because it was not ratified by 3/4 of the states per the Constitution.

January 25, 1867: Mississippi becomes the 10th state to reject the 14th Amendment, making its ratification a mathematical impossibility.

July 21, 1868: The illegally seated 40th Congress passes a concurrent resolution falsely declaring the 14th Amendment ratified by the required number of states. The "Phantom 14th" was adopted by the illegal 40th Congress July 28, 1868.

Note: As we are about to see, non-passage of the 14th Amendment was not an option.
