But Did They Intend To?

November 6th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Illegals, Local

The excuses people use for breaking the law goes beyond the pale when dealing with illegals.

On October 30th, thirty illegal aliens were arrested while they worked for a sub-contractor at the site of the Infantry Museum where at Fort Benning, GA. 

Federal agents converged on the National Infantry Museum construction site Tuesday morning, snaring 30 suspected illegal immigrants, some as they tried to flee.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents went to the 3800 S. Lumpkin Road site at 7:30 a.m. after getting a tip that illegal workers might be there, ICE spokesman Richard Rocha said Wednesday.

“There were some individuals who tried to escape,” he said. “There were two who we were able to apprehend in flight. We worked with the employer, who helped us ask the employees to come down off the site.”

Several have gone to court already and from the November 1st report at WTVM.com, I read this:

Each of their charges carry maximum sentences ranging from 2 to 5 years, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.

But defense attorney Susan Henderson says her clients don’t deserve such harsh punishments for their crimes.

“They have committed a crime, they have violated federal laws. But whether they did knowingly and with intent remains to be seen,” said Henderson.

Do what?  Please — Ms. Henderson are you trying to tell me these illegals slept walk across the border of Mexico into the United States and woke up at a job site in Columbus, GA??  Reality has been suspended …

    Before The Hart-Celler Act of 1965 (Thank you Senator Kennedy)and the 1986 Amnesty Act ( Thank you Senator Kennedy) most Americans wanted population control in the US.Now we allow in around 2,000,000 legal immigrants a year plus their extended families,(Mother,Father,Sister ,Brother and their children.)That adds millions more.Then you have the 12-20 million illegal Aliens that Congress wants to give Amnesty to.If that’s granted,then you have their extended families,which will add millions more.Then you have around 500,000 that still cross our southern border illegally each year.The US current population is 301,000,000,not to long ago we exported our surplus food,now we import half, In the near future 36 states will have a water shortage,(Look At Atlanta)Some studies show the US population at 450,000,000 by the year 2050.Has anyone ask their Congressman and Senators what quality of life our Children and Grand Children will have? Social Security,in 1996 the Social Security Administration signed an agreement with Mexico that will give Social Security payments to some the 12-20 million illegal aliens once they are granted amnesty, total cost over 50 billion dollars a year.Add the billions each year the American tax payer donates for illegal aliens free medical care,food stamps,rent assistance,translators at schools and we have a ticking time bomb.Amnesty for 12-20 million illegal aliens and endless immigration is not the answer.I encourage everyone to write their Congressman and Senators and ask them what the total cost to the American tax payer will be if they grant amnesty to those 12-20 million illegal aliens,after all you and I and our children will foot the bill for their decision! “
