Long Island Rag urge SURRENDER to flood of illegals

LINK: http://www.newsday.com/news/opinion/ny-vpimm295820401aug29,0,5415287.story

Immigration is a word that was seldom heard in Denver this week, as Democrats geared up for their run to Election Day. It was a curious omission.

There are plenty of big issues awaiting the next president: The economy, war, energy, climate change, health care and education have all commanded attention. But immigration needs to be on that list. Borders remain porous. About 12 million people are in the country illegally. Communities on Long Island and elsewhere are struggling with the problem of day laborers who gather on street corners in search of work. The nation's immigration system is broken.

Illegal immigration has roiled the nation and tied Washington in knots. Deaths in detention and aggressive workplace raids - hundreds of people were detained Monday at a factory in Laurel, Miss. - have kept the issue bubbling. And it's of particular interest to Hispanics, a key voting bloc up for grabs in November.

A comprehensive approach has to be found, one that would fortify borders, streamline the naturalization process and provide enough legal temporary workers to meet the needs of employers, such as those on Long Island's East End. And it should lay out a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants already in the country. That's just too many people to realistically detain or deport.



Republicans have an opportunity to showcase their views on immigration at their convention next week in Minnesota. It won't be easy to balance the interests of the party's conservative base, which doesn't much like the idea of a route to citizenship, with those of Hispanic voters, many of whom favor a path out of the shadows for the undocumented.

That's an uncomfortable straddle for presumptive Republican nominee John McCain. As a senator, he championed a path to citizenship, an approach that Democratic nominee Barack Obama embraced, but that most of McCain's Republican colleagues rejected. Campaigns are the time for candidates to forge a mandate for action on tough issues. It's an opportunity that shouldn't be missed on immigration.

too damn creepy,....

Crime fears drive Mexicans' increase of extreme security measures

MEXICO CITY � Fearful Mexicans are injecting rice-sized security chips under their skin, strapping on $400 bulletproof vests under work shirts, and installing satellite trackers in their cars as an unchecked crime wave sweeps the nation.

Last Day at the Democratic National Convention


Along the Mexican border with Texas, factory workers are given personal security classes by U.S. trainers, who tell them to alter their routes to work and keep track of reappearing vehicles to make it more difficult for them to be followed.

The upper middle class and the rich are turning to bulletproofing their vehicles, a booming "accessory item" that runs from $20,000 to $100,000 based on what kind of bullets the buyer wants to be able to stop.

An unprecedented wave of narco killings and a series of kidnappings have the Mexican security industry booming, but they're bad news for everybody else, including American investors and tourists, analysts say.

The U.S. Embassy is warning travelers to take extra precautions, as have the embassies of European countries.

Even President Felipe Calder�n, who has made crime his top priority, acknowledged this week that taxpayer-funded police forces are involved in not just drug-running but also a rash of abductions, in which uniformed officers sometimes are the executioners of their victims, even children.

Crime has skyrocketed, analysts say, because crime pays in Mexico. About 99 percent of all crimes go unpunished, according to studies by non-governmental groups.

"Criminals have become much more aggressive, more insensitive, and the attacks come with a much greater level of violence," said Mauricio Natale, president of the Mexican Association of Armored Vehicles.

View larger More photos Photo store "It's very complicated for people because the criminals know that the police are very corrupt and that nothing will happen to them even if they are caught," said Mr. Natale, who predicts armored car sales nationwide will reach 1,700 this year, compared with 1,500 last year.

More than a million people are expected to join in anti-crime marches in 17 states on Saturday night, including the Mexico-Texas border states of Chihuahua, Coahuila and Tamaulipas.

Part of the outcry, analysts say, stems from the recent kidnap and killing of the 14-year-old son of a sporting goods mogul, and public pleas and billboards put up this week by the mother of 19-year-old Silvia Vargas, who was kidnapped a year ago.

A massive banner across a downtown building bears an image of a smiling Ms. Vargas, whose family has a chain of swimming centers, with the words "Please return my daughter Silvia. A reward will be paid."

But while part of Mexicans' fear may come from the publicity surrounding high-profile crimes, another part comes from the government's own numbers.

The federal Public Security Ministry released figures this week that show reported kidnappings rose to 785 last year, up from 727 in 2006. That's an 8.6 percent increase and more than 50 percent higher than the 500 reported kidnappings per year at the beginning of the decade. And most kidnappings, analysts say, are not reported for fear that police are involved.

Mr. Calder�n, in a series of televised spots this week that constitute his "state of the union" message, acknowledged police corruption and promised to do more.

"I know that Mexico faces a great security problem," he said. "It's a cancer that has been incubating during years and one that was not paid attention to, but it is a cancer that we are going to eradicate."

Meanwhile, Mexicans are taking matters into their own hands.

The sales of global positioning system (GPS) units that can be carried or installed in vehicles � and are used mainly for security in Mexico � are rising by 25 percent a year, according to the Mexican Association of Private Security and Satellite Companies. Currently, Mexico has 150,000 of the units functioning, increasingly by private users like families worried about the whereabouts of their children.

The devices have a panic button which alerts police or private guards.

"A GPS is not going to stop a kidnapping or robbery, but it does allow for a reaction to get security to them," said Gerardo Macias P�rez, the organization's treasurer.

A Colombian entrepreneur has another idea: bulletproof clothing.

Miguel Caballero sells raincoats, jackets, tuxedos and even T-shirts with high-tech bullet-stopping equipment from a store in Mexico City's posh Polanco neighborhood.

But it's not just the rich buying, he said. Politicians, business people and even low-level distributors of consumer goods are clients for his creations, which cost from $400 to $6,000 and more.

Sales in Mexico are rising by 20 percent a year, Mr. Caballero said.

But for all the high-tech and hardware growth in the security market, security consultant Jon French, director of Problem Solvers in Mexico, says knowledge is power.

Mr. French gives talks to workers of factories along the U.S.-Mexico border and consults for the rich and powerful.

The famous chip implanted in one's arm bears personal information, but it is useless without an external GPS transmitter, he said.

Mr. French recommends that Mexicans stay out of online social networking groups like Facebook, since kidnappers are looking for any personal information concerning wealth, places frequented and pictures.

He also recommends keeping a low profile in terms of showing off any type of wealth, since some kidnappers are looking for as little as a few hundred dollars and will kill their victims since the likelihood of getting caught is so low.

California Assembly Bill 2076 fails!

August 29, 2008 -- 1:20 PM PDT

I was just informed by Fuentes office that they are not "moving the bill" for AB2076 which would prohibit E-verify for CA governments. That means the bill is dead for this session.

Sunday the 31st is the absolute deadline for getting legislation passed and to the governor.

So, they will probably re-introduce the bill next year with the new Assembly and a new number, make it a two year bill and we will debating this on and off until 2010.

From individual rights and liberties, an irrevocable gift from our creator, comes individual responsibility and self-reliance

Democrats Are Traitors to America�s Founding Principles of Freedom and Liberty
By Ron Ewart Friday, August 29, 2008


This is a difficult article to write; to accuse fellow Americans of being traitors of freedom and their country. We do not do so lightly. Nevertheless, from the vantage point from where we make our observations, we have no choice.

From individual rights and liberties, an irrevocable gift from our creator, comes individual responsibility and self-reliance. Should we deny our responsibility for our own actions and the direction of our own life, should we move from individual self-reliance to dependency on others, or government, we have squandered that irrevocable gift from our creator and handed it over to a collective. We have done so at our own peril.

Many years ago, on the Floor of the House of Representatives, Representative Davy Crocket said this about Congress appropriating money for the widow of a distinguished Naval Officer:



�Mr. Speaker�I have as much respect for the memory of the deceased, and as much sympathy for the sufferings of the living, if suffering there be, as any man in this House, but we must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for a part of the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living. I will not go into an argument to prove that Congress has no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every member upon this floor knows it. We have the right, as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right so to appropriate a dollar of the public money� ............

�......... We cannot, without the grossest corruption, appropriate this money as the payment of a debt. We have not the semblance of authority to appropriate it as a charity. Mr. Speaker, I have said we have the right to give as much money of our own as we please. I am the poorest man on this floor. I cannot vote for this bill, but I will give one week�s pay to the object, and if every member of Congress will do the same, it will amount to more than the bill asks.�

And yet, as time has passed since Davy Crockett spoke these words, the Democrats have, with malice aforethought, corruptly appropriated monies from the public treasury and have passed out the taxpayers hard-earned dollars to those supposedly less well off, without the slightest constitutional authority. In so doing, they have invited rampant corruption and every government service program is rife with waste, fraud, abuse and yes, corruption.

This drift towards socialism began with the first dictator of America, FDR. His New Deal and Social security programs were fully sanctioned by the U. S. Congress and the U. S. Supreme Court. In fact FDR, in his speech to the nation in January of 1944, just after being reelected for a fourth term, said these unconstitutional words:



�This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain unalienable political rights�among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty. As our Nation has grown in size and stature, however�as our industrial economy expanded�these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness. We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. �Necessitous men are not free men.� People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made. In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all� Among these new rights are �The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries, or shops or farms or mines of the Nation; The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation; The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living; The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad; The right of every family to a decent home; The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health; The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment; The right to a good education.�

These pronouncements by a sitting president, should have sent shivers of loathing and disgust down the spines of all freedom-loving Americans at the time and caused the Founding Fathers to spin rapidly in their graves. In fact, at the same time, the Socialist Party candidate for president, Norman Thomas essentially said there was no need for him to run any more, because the Democrat Party had adopted the Socialist Party platform. His actual quote was: �The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of �liberalism�, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.�

The Democrats since then have delivered on FDR�s traitorous words and New Deal programs. They have served up to the American people a platter of abject socialism and now, radical environmentalism. The American people have been bought, sold and conquered on the promises and propaganda of Democrats who have raided the public treasury for the sole purpose of buying votes to remain in power. They have accomplished this takeover with a cultural mindset that bears no relation to constitutional principles. They have appealed to the weakness in men that buy into the hype, propaganda, lies and distortions of these con men in order to receive these so-called �free� benefits from their government that bears no relation to their labors. All this the Democrats have done, without a shot being fired.

In almost every word and deed, Democrats have forsaken our constitution, even though Democrat politicians swear on sacred oath to preserve, protect and defend that very same constitution. They counter with, �the Constitution is a �fluid� document, subject to interpretation that changes over time.� They ignore the statements in the Constitution that mandate it to be the Supreme Law of the Land and is to be literally construed using the original intent of the Framers.

Democrats apologize to the rest of the world for our achievements. We have allowed their socialist and radical environmental agendas to pervade our lives, usurp our rights and trash our Constitutions. We have allowed the infiltration of their unconstitutional agendas into our national culture.

They apologize for our greatness to the rest of the World. They have buried our well-deserved national pride in their attempts to seek approval from other countries with failed and corrupt governments. Democrats have capitulated to the whims of foreign nations because those nations don�t like our policies of freedom for every corner of the world; policies that we know lead to self-reliance, productivity and peace. Unashamedly, Democrats appease our enemies.

Internally, we have allowed the Democrats to turn our balance of power, designed by our Founding Fathers in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government, on its head and we have allowed un-elected bureaucrats to make our laws. Our bureaucracies have been infiltrated by liberal, socialists and radical environmental graduates out of our very liberal colleges. And these bureaucracies make law, after law, after law until we are sick of laws and end up becoming lawless. Through these laws, with no constitutional authority or legislative approval, they take our land, our money and our rights as individual Americans and we have let them do it.

America needs to be the leader and the shining light to the World, not try to compete with the different forms of government and merge our �ways� with their �ways�. We are the most powerful country on Earth because we are free. America is and has been a beacon to the world and will continue to be that beacon unless we let Democrats and others who seek our destruction, try to dim that light with failed policies, negativism, despondency, dependency, the trashing of our constitution and embarrassment for our achievements, instead of being proud of them. We are great as a country and great as a people because of those achievements.

What America does will determine the fate of the world. If we forsake freedom, if we sell our sovereignty for expediency or a few pieces of silver, if we break the bonds of our Constitution, if we abdicate our right and duty to defend freedom for ourselves and future generations, we shall descend into the mediocrity, apathy and self loathing under which the rest of the world operates and will be pulled down to their level, never to rise again.

We have grave concerns that what we are facing today is a premeditated orchestration of the dismantling of our sacred institutions of freedom by Democrats and international elitists, that find that a free America stands in their way of the their distorted concept of the one-world-order, social justice and environmental protection, at any cost. Their unconstitutional give-away policies have this country on the brink of bankruptcy. Their environmental policies of restricting everything that we do, has brought this once-proud, can-do nation to its knees and has forced us to be dependent on other countries for our energy and other vital resources necessary for a thriving economy. Their open-border and amnesty policies that allow anyone wanting to come here illegally, will change the color of our politics and thus our freedom, for decades to come, from which we may never recover.

A clear and present danger hangs over this Country like a dark, ominous, angry cloud and threatens our freedom, if not our very existence. That dark, black cloud is manifested in abject socialism and radical environmentalism, the twin domestic evils that have invaded every corner of our culture and that have been sold to us by a �liberal� mentality, promoted by Democrats. Their ideas didn�t come from our founding principles and our laws, they came out of the bowels of socialist Europe and the United Nations and have been codified into law by Democrat presidential executive orders and a Democrat-controlled U. S. Congress that has lost all allegiance to the Supreme Law of the Land, our Constitution. These policies come at us with soft-sounding words like social equity, compassion, smart growth, sustainable development, biospheres, wildlife corridors, endangered species, invasive species, global warming, mass transit and the one-world order. It�s all dressed up in motherhood, apple pie and Chevrolet and it is one of the biggest con games ever perpetrated on what have now become, na�ve, uninformed Americans.

But today, the hidden agenda of these perpetrators is finally being exposed all across America, as people are waking up to what has happened to them while they were sleeping. It�s way past time to fight back. This is still a great country, full of great people and it is salvageable if we will just vigorously defend our constitution and hold government to its limits, against the onslaught of failed liberal policies.

Should Barack Hussein Obama be elevated to President of the United States by the electorate because he happens to be a superb speaker, it could easily spell the death knell for a free United States of America. If the electorate is so naive as to elect a person with no substance and no experience, they shall get what they deserve. If they put this man in office based on hero worship and mass hysteria, the unintended consequences of their actions will reverberate throughout our history for a 100 years or more and our great country may have no chance of ever recovering from the effects of what he and a Democrat-controlled congress will do.

Democrats are traitors to America�s founding principles of freedom and liberty and are willing accomplices to the enemies of our freedom and our sovereignty. Those naive Democrats who have hitched their wagon to this party, aid and abet the destruction of America. No other conclusion is possible.

Unfortunately, Republicans are headed in the same direction and have forsaken their principles of small government, lower taxes and less restrictions on the people that was laid down in a � blue print� for free men and women with common purpose and resolve to live out their lives and govern their individual and collective affairs by adhering to that �blue print�, some 232 years ago.

A Home Run
She Was A Member of the Buchanan Brigade

Posted by Richard Spencer -- August 29

Sarah Palin� -- Buchananite
Remember when Pat Buchanan ran a number of hard-right, fringe campaigns for president in the late 1980s, 1990s and 2000? Well, guess who was supporting him:
From an AP report in 1999: "Pat Buchanan brought his conservative message of a smaller government and an America First foreign policy to Fairbanks and Wasilla on Friday as he continued a campaign swing through Alaska. Buchanan's strong message championing states rights resonated with the roughly 85 people gathered for an Interior Republican luncheon in Fairbanks. ...Among those sporting Buchanan buttons were Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin and state Sen. Jerry Ward, R-Anchorage."
American Patrol Comment: McCain knew Sarah Palin was a Buchanan supporter when he picked her. Buchanan has been an outspoken opponent of amnesty (i.e., so-called comprehensive immigration reform) and it is likely that she agrees with him, so this is a very encouraging move.

Mexican drug cartel war could cross border, intelligence center report warns
By Daniel Borunda / El Paso Times
Article Launched: 08/30/2008 11:22:37 AM MDT


EL PASO - Drug traffickers could be more prone to confront U.S. law enforcement as they come under pressure as the cartel war continues to rage in the Ju�rez region, stated an analysis issued by the National Drug Intelligence Center.
The potential the cartel war could cross the border was raised last week when it was revealed El Paso authorities had received unconfirmed intelligence that Mexican drug cartels had approved sending hit men to kill targets in the United States.

More than 900 people have been slain so far this year in Ju�rez believed to be due to a war between the Ju�rez and Sinaloa drug cartels. Ju�rez has also seen a jump in kidnappings for ransom and bank robberies, which total more than 50 this year.

"Once a dominant cartel is established in the El Paso/Ju�rez plaza, stability will return to the area and the flow of drugs most likely will increase," stated an annual analysis of the West Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) released in May by the National Drug Intelligence Center.

The potential for spillover of the cartel violence into West Texas was mentioned in the analysis, which included information from earlier this year.

"This violence could spill into the HIDTA region, since DTOs (drug trafficking organizations) may more readily confront law enforcement officers in the United States who seek to disrupt these DTOs' smuggling operations," the report stated. "Violence has extended into the HIDTA region in the past when traffickers


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
felt pressure from U.S. law enforcement."
The West Texas HIDTA covers 12 counties near the border, including the cities of El Paso, Midland and Odessa.

But El Paso-Las Cruces area police and sheriff officials have said that it is unlikely that the violence will cross the border. Officers are prepared should it happen, officials said.

"I don't think the Mexican cartels will confront U.S law enforcement directly. Any confrontation will be the result of them coming after targets in the United States," said Robert Almonte, a retired El Paso police deputy chief who is executive director of the Texas Narcotics Officers Association.

"The last thing they want to do is confront U.S. law enforcement either local or federal," Almonte said. A confrontation with law enforcement in the U.S. would raise the ire of authorities.

Almonte said cartel enforcers prefer to lure targets into Mexico or kidnap victims in El Paso to take them to Ju�rez.

"They have been doing it over there (in Mexico) because they stand a much better chance of getting away with murder in Ju�rez," Almonte said.

The National Drug Intelligence Center analysis stated there are six major Mexican drug organizations plus 120 multistate groups and 606 local drug trafficking rings operating in West Texas. Groups range in size from five to dozens of members.

The Mexican cartels also have distribution cells in dozens of cities across the U.S. and have formed alliances with prison gangs, street gangs and outlaw motorcycle gangs, stated a Congressional Research Service report issued in February titled "Mexico's Drug Cartels."

The Dallas Morning-News reported that the Zetas, the notorious Gulf Cartel enforcers have been behind murders in Laredo and Dallas. The Zetas are also known to operate in Ju�rez.

The National Drug Intelligence Center report stated that law enforcement is up against a sophisticated opponent with extensive financial resources, including those of "corrupt Mexican businessmen," capable of funding high-tech equipment, including satellite phones.

Cartel gatekeepers are charged with collecting "taxes" on drug shipments moving through their turfs. It was such tolls that was behind a drop in cocaine in the El Paso region last year, revealed the intelligence center's report.

"Law enforcement reporting indicated the temporary suspension of cocaine shipments by a cartel operating in the El Paso/Ju�rez plaza occurred in 2007," the report stated. "This suspension is believed to have occurred because the organization implementing the suspension wanted to make sure that all cocaine shipments were being 'taxed.'"

In Ju�rez, authorities unable to control the crime wave are making changes to Joint Operation Chihuahua, the federal anti-crime offensive, which has been renamed Operation Ju�rez. More federal police officers arrived Friday and the Mexican army is expected to begin anti-crime street patrols this week, city officials said.

Mexican President Felipe Calder�n said recently in his equivalent to the state of the union address that crime is the biggest challenge facing Mexico.

"I know Mexico faces a great security problem. This is a cancer that incubated for years and it wasn't given the attention it deserves but it is a cancer we will eradicate," Calder�n said.

Calder�n said that more than 100 federal police officers, 72 soldiers and five sailors have been killed in Mexico this year as federal forces fight drug traffickers, kidnappers and other criminals.

"It's a difficult battle," Calder�n said. "It's a battle that will take time, resources and, sadly, human lives. But you can be sure it is a battle we will win with the support of the people of Mexico."

Mexico President Felipe Calder�n's annual televised report can be viewed at www.presidencia.gob.mx.

Where's the "Dog" when you really need him ?

Can't believe the Federales let him go,.....wait, ....I can but would rather not.

THEY KNEW who they were holding.

$350,000 Reward For Info on BP Agent Death




The manhunt heats up for a suspect accused of killing a local Border Patrol Agent. On Friday, the FBI and Customs and Border Protection introduced a $350,000 reward for the tipster who can lead them to Jesus Navarro Montes. He's a suspect in the death of Yuma Sector Border Patrol Agent Luis Aguilar.

Border Patrol hopes the money and a promise of anonymity will urge people to come forward with information.

"They can rest assured that their name will not become public record, and there are many safeguards in place that will keep them from going on the public docket," says Agent Ben Vik.

On January 19th, Luis Aguilar was run over by a drug smuggling vehicle in the Imperial County Sand Dunes. Agents say Montes fled back to Mexico after the attack.

"Our best lead is this suspect, and if we can get him into custody, I'm sure the Luis Aguilar family would rest."

In June, Montes was released from a Mexican prison after a judge cleared him of unrelated charges. Mexican officials claim they never received documents requesting extradition to the United States.

Roberto Campa, executive secretary of Mexico�s National Public Security System, said yesterday that �Yucatan is one of the five safest states at the national level, so preventive programs must be applied to keep organized crime from operating in this zone.� But later in the day, residents of the Chichi Suarez area of Merida, Yucatan, reported finding eleven piled up, tortured and beheaded bodies. Later yet, a twelfth body, also minus his head, was found some 110 miles east of Merida at Buctotz, Yucatan.
The eleven on a pile were reportedly nude at least from the waist up, and partially covered with bed clothes, some handcuffed and with feet tied. They showed signs of torture. Most of them had tattoos of �St. Death� or demons or dragons and �they were decapitated with just one blow.� The heads have not been found.
All agents guarding public buildings in the area were immediately furnished with bullet proof vests and the state governor�s personal security staff has been reinforced.

El Universal (Mexico City) 8/29/08

At a meeting with �PAN� (Mex. political party) federal congressmen in Hermosillo, Sonora, President Calderon acknowledged that institutions in Mexico have been deteriorating gradually and that criminality has been nourished, has grown and been fermented (sic) by the indolence, corruption and impunity of some officials , but also because of the apathy and the lax tolerance margin which society has allowed it.

A total of seven police officers were assassinated yesterday in Durango, Guerrero, the state of Mexico and Chiapas.

2 from `La Eme' convicted in conspiracy to kill witness

The reputed leader of the Inland Empire section of the Mexican Mafia and his brother were sentenced Friday in San Bernardino Superior Court for their roles in a murder conspiracy involving two San Manuel tribal members.
Salvador Orozco Hernandez, 43, of Bloomington was sentenced to 10 years in prison, and his brother Alfred Hernandez, 39, was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Under a plea agreement reached in April with county prosecutors, the siblings each pleaded guilty to one count of attempted murder with a gang enhancement.

The two were arrested in December 2006 with dozens of others during a joint investigation between the Drug Enforcement Administration and the San Bernardino Police Department into the Mexican Mafia's methamphetamine racket in San Bernardino.

The investigation uncovered evidence that the Hernandez brothers were working with siblings Stacy Barajas-Nunez and Erik Barajas, both San Manuel tribal members, to kill a witness to the May 2004 shooting of San Bernardino resident James Seay outside the Brass Key bar in Highland.

A suspect in that shooting, Robert Martinez III, is a San Manuel tribal member. He was never charged in the case because of a lack of witness cooperation, county prosecutors said.

Seay, who survived the 2004 shooting and sued Martinez, was chased into his mother's backyard in May 2006 and shot to death by two unidentified assailants. It occurred about two weeks after he received a

settlement check of about $250,000 from Martinez.
Barajas-Nunez, 25, pleaded guilty in April to attempted murder with a gang enhancement, transportation of a controlled substance for sale and possession of drugs in jail. She faces one year of jail time, which will likely be served as house arrest.

Erik Barajas, 35, pleaded guilty in April to assault with a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement and faces 180 days of jail time, also likely to be served at home.

The two tribal members will be sentenced Nov. 6.

The Hernandezes will receive credit for the time they have already served at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga since their arrest. Salvador Hernandez will serve about seven years in prison. His brother Alfred will serve about 2 years.

Attorneys for the brothers said the sentences were fair. The siblings could have each faced 25 years to life in prison if they had gone to trial and were convicted.

"We went from life to six and seven years. That's one heck of a trade-off," said James Taylor, Alfred Hernandez's attorney.

Salvador Hernandez's attorney, Catherine Fox, added, "It's always a risk putting a defendant before a jury, so I think it's a favorable turnout."

Prosecutor Douglas Poston said he is satisfied with the terms of the plea agreement, which lines Salvador Hernandez up as a third striker.

"It essentially puts him on notice that if he commits one more felony in the state of California, he's looking at 25 years to life," Poston said.

The target of the murder conspiracy, a reported gang member with a history of criminal offenses, set the murder conspiracy in motion in spring 2006 when he and fellow gang members confronted Erik Barajas at the Brass Key and accosted him, accusing Barajas' brother of being an informant, according to a probation report released Friday.

As a peace offering, Barajas gave each man $2,500. That angered Stacy Barajas-Nunez, who confronted the victim the following day and demanded he return the money. She threatened to have him killed by "La Eme" if he didn't, the report said.

La Eme, Spanish for the letter "m," is a common reference for the Mexican Mafia.

According to the probation report, Stacy Barajas-Nunez initiated the murder plot. Her brother provided a yearbook photo of the victim to Salvador Hernandez and provided Hernandez with financial perks, including concert tickets for San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino.

Because Salvador Hernandez refused to be interviewed, Probation Officer Jeremy Smith couldn't make a definitive conclusion as to why the feared gang member, who has a criminal record dating back 20 years, did what he did.

But he noted it was "doubtless that the gang members see the Barajases as a source of funding for them, in that Stacy and Erik Barajas receive the monthly casino generated payment to tribe members, which has been reported to be in excess of $100,000."

There maybe more to this then we know. We don't know what evidence and info. was given to receive the lighter sentence. Sometimes you have to make deals to get bigger fish.

I know that things like this sit wrong with you, we don't know the whole story here, only what's published. As i've said before there's no honor among killers or druggie's, they take care of number one first.

Maybe the reward money, will loosen up some tongue's as to the whereabouts of the USBP agents killer, i hope so. Money talks in Mex. It could be very true that the paperwork or notice wasn't received regarding extradition of the suspect. There times that it's a PIA when dealing with other states and courts right here in the US regarding extradition.

As far as the killings of the Mex. LEO's, the Govt. & Mil. of Mex. is going to have to step up, but i don't see that happening.

I wonder about the cooperation between LE agencies, within the various in Mex. regarding the killing of the LEO's. Earlier in the Summer we had an LEO shot and killed a couple of counties over while serving an arrest warrant. As soon as the BOLO went out on the wire about the suspect, there were personnel and resources, such as tracking dogs etc. enroute from agencies in the state over 200 miles away. They weren't requested they just volunteered, and the suspect was captured quickly. This is the normal type of response in this sort of situation.

The " Mex. LEO's " and " the Govt. & Mil. of Mex. "


...........ARE the criminals,.....

Given the bulk of validatiting material presnted for that thesis thus far ( lots by Mexican writers and corespondents)

I realy "Don't see that happening" either ( jeez, ...a coupla' rocket scientists, ain't we ?)

...they "Step up" to a telephone and ask for ransom,...or run dope,.....or harass and threaten our people on the line.

They 'Step up " to working the folks that pay them from both sides of the law,......

Scum of the earth,.....

Stepping up to a gallows would suit an awful lot of 'em.

I think everyone pretty well realizes that the Mex. Govt. is corrupt, as well as many of the LEO's, that's an undisputed fact.

If anything is going to change it must, come from within the Mex. Govt. Are they capable of changing, don't know, if they get tired of it, they may.

The US Govt. isn't going to change it, even with the "Geezer and Gidget" Admin. We're not going to send in a Mil. strike force to take over the Govt. of Mex. If that was the fact we could of done it anytime in the last 200 years.

You can build a wall 50 ft high from one end of the border the the other, with land mines or whatever, illegal activity, be it human or drugs are still going to get across into this country some where, some how.

This is a business that brings in millions, upon millions of dollars to organized crime, it's not a hobby. Can you reduce it YES, can you stop it, NO.

The drug importation issue has been going on for over the last 50 years or more. As i stated this was happening when Bill Jordan was a USBP agent, so it's nothing new. You can wish in one hand and [bleep] in the other, and see what you get.

The best we can do is continue the course, the USBP has been allowed to increase it's budget. They're hiring more agents and support personnel. Local LE agencies are being intregrated into the ICE process to assist in arresting and processing illegals.

I know you don't believe it, but money to local agencies to assist in this is a big factor. If your spending all your resources chasing illegals and aren't getting paid back by the Fed's it doesn't take long to go broke. Not all agencies have the big budgets and manpower, that some who are proactive in this area do.

Our own Hunter1960,....ever the bright, cheerful little ray of sunshine.

...take note of his attitude folks.

There's a message of some sort there for us.

I'm not sure I'd open with "Winning Attitude",...were I seeking to define the message.

..........I'm not.

You sure post a lot here, Hunter for someone who "Doesn't Care"

One can only guesstimate that you DO,....and for that, I thank you.
