Does anyone check these stories.  Personally I think not going on a case I am aware of.  \n\nIt is like hey well that story failed what else can I try or what can I add to story.\n\nDo they sit out at Villawood Detention Centre and other immigration centres similar in a group being advised by each other on the best fake scenario for their case\n\nWell Villawood Centre is empty today but they have all been moved to other centres.  Where more detainees can tell them some tips and ideas to stay here in this country.  Even if they are a "Tall Tale"\n\nMaybe some input from other parts of the world will help here.

Im Australian and Im of the opinion that if these boats initially land in Indonesia then thats where they should be seeking asylum..After all the whole point is to escape your home country not pick and choose where you want to live...However you also cant blame these people for wanting to stay once there here because our country is so damn lucky compared with 99% of the world who wouldnt want to stay?

I hope life but am worried as one of the witnesses has already done time for his involvement in the abduction and he named the ones accused of the murder.They could get away with it [saying that he named them to take the heat off himself] i hope not though\n\nAnd life should mean life.

Yes, I love it!  I look on the internet news daily for more stories like the one about the mayor of Hazelton, PA, or Sheriff Joe in Arizona, or big unexpected roundups of illegals in different cities.  It does my heart proud to see the citizens of the USA standing up against this injustice that the government has allowed to occur and get out of hand - illegal immigration.  I believe the power of the American citizens is now snowballing against illegal immigration and whether the Federal Government wants to or not, they are going to have to listen to the people whom they work for, and act accordingly.  The days of the freebies and handouts for illegal immigrants are quickly coming to an end and the smart ones will start planning their own voluntary self-deportations now, rather than wait until they are found and shipped out, possibly leaving family members behind in the USA.  Better they start planning and get themselves organized for an orderly return to their home countries before they get caught by immigration officials or the police or their landlord or their employer.  This way, if they have lived cleanly in the USA so far, without committing further offences since they first illegally came over the border, they have a hope of returning legally one day, if they go home now and apply to immigrate to the USA through the proper procedures.  WAKE UP ILLEGALS!  Do yourselves and your families a favour and return yourselves in an orderly fashion now, while you still can.  Otherwise, don't cry and whine when you get caught and shipped out on a moment's notice, when you aren't ready.  The jig is up!  Amnesty is NOT coming!!  Wake up and smell the coffee!

Interesting, you should try to find out why they were closed down by the police.  It also sounds like discrimination if they are only letting mexican men in.

GEE.... I wish I had Yahoo Answers to do my homework!!\nThey finally caught the guerrilla after the brutal attack.\nHe tried asking for amnesty, but that was not an option.\nAfter the reconciliation of the case, it was decided his fate.

Bravo Patriot... I have noticed this (particularly "defender of the hated") here and in almost all forums.\n\nDid you see the CNN town meeting on "Broken Borders"... the woman defending illegals wouldn't answer a question... she merely ran on in her prepared manifesto covering the standard points: the border crossed us, it's our land, your economy can't survive without our work... blah blah blah.\n\nI'm a Californian, and honestly have had no KNOWN contact with ILLEGAL immigrants of OTHER than Hispanic origin.  My Indian, Fijian, and Russian co-workers all have work-visa's (I'm their supervisor and have to know).  My comments are based on first-hand observation.\n\nYet while in the Navy I lived right on the border in San Ysidro... watched lllegal crossings night and day.  I couldn't report them... HONEST !!  My reports were REQUIRED to be ignored by INS /Border Patrol because my reporting would violate the illegals' rights due to "posse comitatus".\n\nI pay my high California taxes, and while in San Ysidro, my daughter had to go to a school 5 miles away because the school NEXT DOOR was reserved for ESL students !!  An investigation in 1992 found that 85% of those students had PO boxes or false addresses... and further investigation found that those students crossed the border back to mexico each day. On falsely obtained student ID !!\n\n230 students... and at the time, the State said it cost $30,000 per student per year... So that's 6.9 MILLION stolen from the tax-payers from ONE school.

Thank you.  It's nice to know who our friends are and believe me, the respect and admiration goes both ways.  Though if you want a true look at who these "anti-war" protestors are, follow the link.  The zombietime "hall of shame" is enough to make one's dinner return.  However, the photographer also highlights the good people in the counter-protests and those who oppose terrorism in the "Bus-19" event.\n\nIt's amazing to see the difference between the rabid "anti-war" leftists and those who oppose them with dignity and self-respect.\n\nJust so one knows, I use "anti-war" as these "tolerant" and "open-minded" protestors seem to support any war in which the USA and her allies are destroyed and thus are only "anti-war" when the USA and her allies are winning.  Though, ironically, these same people are the first the terrorists would kill if given the chance (the "Queers for Palastine" group obviously didn't read Islamic Law's view on homosexuality)...  A chance the Armed Forces of America, England, and Australlia not to mention police and intelligence agencies world-wide will not give the terrorists.  \n\nYes, the irony of it all is the same people the leftists hate so much are protecting those same leftists from the terrorists and dictators they seem to love.

I've known a couple. Some I understand are very sucsessful so I don't think it has anything to do with sanity, it's more of a behavioral problem. They just have a total lack of respect or regard for anything or anyone. One that I knew robbed his neighbor, got arrested, bailed out by his uncle, then stole his uncle's car and wallet while he slept and after he was arrested again a day later he tried to say he just escaped from his kidnappers. I'm not kidding, this really happened. No fear of the consequences for his actions no matter what they were. Oh, and to top it off the guy tried to lie about who he was when the police had his ID. That may be the loudest alarm of all, LIES. Even when they know you know they are lying, they will still look you in the eye and lie some more. They just do not care. Lucky for me the only ties I had was that I knew who they were. The ones that are good at it are hard to pick out, but they always trip up and expose themselfs for who and what they really are. Today a word that might be used to describe one would be "Player".

I think this one is very good.. We had a huge debate on this one in 1 of my college classes,\n\nSpotsylvania county VA prostitution and dirty cop tactics.. \n\n\nSPOTSYLVANIA, Va. - The sheriff said Friday he will no longer allow detectives to receive sexual services while investigating suspected prostitution after they spent $1,200 at massage parlors last month and sparked a public outcry. \n\nSpotsylvania County Sheriff Howard Smith defended the practice as necessary to obtain a conviction but told his department he was suspending it.\n\n"As sheriff, I understand the feelings and concerns the citizens of this county have expressed," Smith said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Friday. "And I empathize with those feelings. Because of the public's express response, I have suspended this practice."\n\nCourt documents show that four times last month, county detectives allowed women at Moon Spa to perform sex acts on them — once leaving a $350 tip. A total of $1,200 was spent during the visits, Smith said. He said multiple visits were necessary so detectives could build trust with the operators.\n\nDetectives shut down Moon Spa last month. The two suspected operators and three women accused of working there face several charges, including prostitution and sodomy, Smith said.\n\nSmith maintained the sexual contact was necessary to obtain a conviction. But law enforcement officials say undercover officers only need to get an offer of sex for money to move the case forward.\n\nThe practice has been used in Spotsylvania since at least 2003.\n\nEarlier this week, Smith told The Washington Post that sexual contact is needed during the investigations because most professionals know not to say anything incriminating. And conversation is difficult, he said, because masseuses at the Asian-run parlors in the northern Virginia county speak little English.\n\nBut several members of Spotsylvania's Board of Supervisors have spoken out against the methods used in the investigation.\n\n"All of us ... have been worried about this episode tarnishing the county and making us a laughingstock of the nation," board chairman Henry "Hap" Connors told the AP Friday. "That's why I came out early on and asked the sheriff to cease using these tactics."\n\nSpotsylvania Commonwealth's Attorney William Neely said he respects Smith's decision to end the practice, but refused to apologize for the officers'

Border Patrol told to stand down in Arizona \nBy Jerry Seper \nTHE WASHINGTON TIMES \n \n\nU.S. Border Patrol agents \nhave been ordered not to arrest illegal aliens \nalong the section of the Arizona border \nwhere protesters patrolled last month \nbecause an increase in apprehensions there \nwould prove the effectiveness of Minuteman volunteers, \nThe Washington Times has learned.\n \nMore than a dozen agents, \nall of whom asked not to be identified for fear of retribution, \nsaid orders relayed by Border Patrol supervisors \nat the Naco, Ariz., station made it clear \nthat arrests were "not to go up" \nalong the 23-mile section of border \nthat the volunteers monitored to protest illegal immigration. \n\n"It was clear to everyone here what was being said and why,"\nsaid one veteran agent. \n"The apprehensions were not to increase \nafter the Minuteman volunteers left. \nIt was as simple as that." \n\nAnother agent said the Naco supervisors \n"were clear in their intention" \nto keep new arrests to an "absolute minimum" \nto offset the effect of the Minuteman vigil, \nadding that patrols along the border have been severely limited.\n \nBorder Patrol Chief David V. Aguilar \nat the agency's Washington headquarters \ncalled the accusations "outright wrong," \nsaying that supervisors at the Naco station \nhad not blocked agents from making arrests \nand that the station's 350 agents \nwere being "supported in carrying out" their duties. \n\n"Border Patrol agents \nare the front line of defense against terrorism," \nChief Aguilar said, \nadding that the 11,000 agents nationwide \nare "meeting that challenge, head-on ... \nas daunting a task as that may sound." \n\nThe chief -- a former head of the agency's Tucson sector, \nwhich includes the Naco station -- \nsaid that with the world watching the Arizona border \nbecause of the Minuteman Project, agents in Naco \n"demonstrated flexibility and resilience \nin carrying out their critical homeland security duties \nand responsibilities."\n \nBut Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican, \nyesterday said "credible sources" within the Border Patrol \nalso had told him of the decision by Naco supervisors \nto keep new arrests to a minimum, \nsaying he was angry but not surprised.\n \n"It's like telling a cop to stand by \nand watch burglars loot a store but don't arrest any of them," \nhe said. \n"This is another example \nof decisions being made at the highest levels of the Border Patrol\nthat are hurting morale \nand helping to rot the agency from within.\n"I worry about our efforts in Congress \nto increase the number of agents," \nhe said. \n"Based on these kinds of orders, \nwe could spend the equivalent of the national debt \nand never have secure borders." \n\nMr. Tancredo, \nchairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, \nblamed the Bush administration \nfor setting an immigration enforcement tone \nthat suggests to those enforcing the law \nthat he is not serious about secure borders.\n \n"We need to get the president to come to grips \nwith the seriousness of the problem," \nhe said. \n"I know he doesn't like to utter the words, 'I was wrong,' \nbut if we have another incident like September 11 \nby people who came through our borders without permission, \nI hope he doesn't have to say 'I'm sorry.' " \n\nDuring the Minuteman vigil, \nBorder Patrol supervisors in Arizona discounted their efforts,\nsaying a drop in apprehensions during their protest \nwas because of the Mexican government's deployment \nof military and police south of the targeted area \nand a new federal program \nknown as the Arizona Border Control Initiative \nthat brought manpower increases to the state. \n\nThe Naco supervisors blamed the volunteers \nfor unnecessarily tripping sens

Times ago-the companies who could not find help in there area paid. I work for such a company. They flew them in and housed them and worked them. Believe it or not it worked for all.! They didn't get citizenship but they did get money for their work-and no one complained because it didn't hurt those here-which now on drain of programs it does. They were not entitle to other programs while living here or working here. I guess than we had sense.

I don't think so. Whose gonna do the unwanted jobs then? Easy for some people to say yes but they wouldn't dare do the jobs these people do. Did you ever think that some of these people came here legally to be able to support their families but majority of them ended up being abused by their employers so they ended up illegals? I have heard a lot of stories and verified them. Some of the bad things that happened to them were done by by our fellow Americans and you talk of having electric fences? What's the matter with you? I bet your ancestors would love to hear your comments when they came here as immigrants too. If they'd have known what the future generation would be maybe they would have aborted you.

hmmm.....don't see many of the regulars answering this question/statement do you.\n\nanother aspect of this immigration topic we have yet to pick the scab off.\n\nI love it.\n\nOh but I have to add....they are all going to post quickly with "illegal".....though that had nothing to do with the question.....that is going to be your basic answer.\n\nLMAO\n\ngood post!
