Nearly 1 Million Illegal Aliens Now Have Driver’s Licenses in California
The State of California is on track to issue a total of one million driver’s licenses to illegal aliens by the end of 2017.
In 2013, California lawmakers passed legislation that allowed illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses if they can prove to the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) their identity and state residency. The plan was one of the largest victories to date by the open borders lobby.
Years later, an estimated 905,000 illegal aliens have driver’s licenses in California, according to the Sacramento Bee, despite issuances beginning in 2015. The number of illegal aliens in California with driver’s licenses is likely to surpass one million before the end of this year.
In the first half of 2017 alone, more than 83,000 illegal aliens received driver’s licenses in California.
Soros groups are currently pushing a plan that would make it illegal to not rent a residence to an illegal alien because of their immigration status, Breitbart Texas reported.
The letter notes that the percentage in L.A.
Country may be as high as 144%.
''California is going to be a Hispanic state," said Mario
Obeldo, former head of MALDEF. "Anyone who does not like
it should leave." And MEChA's goal is even more radical: an
independent ''Aztlan,'' the collective name this organization
gives to the seven states of the U.S. Southwest – Arizona,
California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah."
Judicial Watch Warns California: 11 Counties Have More Voters than Voting-Age Citizens
Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog organization, has sent a letter to California Secretary of State Alex Padilla on behalf of the Election Integrity Project, noting that there are 11 counties in the state with more registered voters, and alleging that the state may be out of compliance with Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
The letter reads, in part:
NVRA Section 8 requires states to conduct reasonable list maintenance so as to maintain an accurate record of eligible voters for use in conducting federal elections.1 As you may know, Congress enacted Section 8 of the NVRA to protect the integrity of the electoral process. Allowing the names of ineligible voters to remain on the voting rolls harms the integrity of the electoral process and undermines voter confidence in the legitimacy of elections.As the top election official in California, it is your responsibility under federal law to coordinate California’s statewide effort to conduct a program that reasonably ensures the lists of eligible voters are accurate.
Judicial Watch lays out the specifics:
“[T]here were more total registered voters
than there were adults over the age of 18
living in each of the following eleven (11)
counties: Imperial (102%), Lassen (102%),
Los Angeles (112%), Monterey (104%), San
Diego (138%), San Francisco (114%), San
Mateo (111%), Santa Cruz (109%), Solano
(111%), Stanislaus (102%), and Yolo (110%).”
The letter notes that the percentage in L.A.
Country may be as high as 144%.
The letter contains a threat to sue the Secretary of State if Padilla does not remove from the rolls “persons who have become ineligible to vote by reason of death, change in residence, or a disqualifying criminal conviction, and to remove noncitizens who have registered to vote unlawfully.”
It gives Padilla 14 days to respond, and 90 days to correct alleged violations of the law.
Padilla has been one of the main voices in opposition to President Donald Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, refusing to share voter data with it on the argument that doing so would “legitimize false claims of massive election cheating last fall.”
President Trump has claimed that he would have won the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election if not for illegal voting, and his administration has singled outCalifornia as a possible contributor to that margin.
The Election Integrity Project is a California-based volunteer organization that monitors voting irregularities.

New York, California Moving to Permit
Illegal Aliens to Practice Law?

Dining Room of the White House, Sept. 25, 2014. Attorney General Holder will

Sapna Rampersaud has
written an article for National Review Online's The Corner titled "Illegal Immigrants Can Now Defend the Laws They
Break,"detailing how the states of New York and California have moved
to permit illegal aliens to practice law. This is the kind of thing one might
expect to see as a headline on the satirical website The Onion, but, sadly,
it's true.
Actually, they've been
headed that way for some time. John Feere, previously a legal policy analyst
here at the Center, wrote about California's efforts clear back in January of 2014, and
commented on the back flips achieved by the California Supreme Court in
deciding that permitting illegal aliens to practice law was copacetic:
“[N]ew lawyers must
take an oath to ‘support the Constitution of the United States" and must
also pass an ethics exam. The California Supreme Court explained in its holding
that it "assumes’ that a licensed illegal alien ‘will make all necessary
inquiries and take appropriate steps to comply with applicable legal
restrictions.’ The Committee of Bar Examiners explained that ‘there is no
reason to believe’ Garcia [the illegal alien applicant seeking approval to
practice law] ‘cannot take the oath and faithfully uphold his duties as an
attorney.’
“It is unclear why the
court and the bar examiners would assume such things. Illegal immigrants
regularly fail to comply with a whole host of laws. Within Garcia's own circle
of family and friends one can identify a variety of potential legal violations,
if media reports are accurate.
“Garcia admits to
working a number of jobs prior to law school, and depending on how he obtained
the work, he may be liable under False Personation of a U.S. Citizen (18 U.S.C.
§ 911), Fraud and False Statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001), and Social Security
Fraud (42 U.S.C. § 408), just to name a few examples. We estimate that nearly
half of working illegal aliens have filled out I-9 Forms and are likely in
violation of these statutes. If the Obama administration decided to enforce
federal immigration law, Garcia could potentially face many years in jail and
significant fines. It is important to remember that these crimes often create
real victims.”
In addition to Feere's
very cogent observations, I'm also wondering how, exactly, an attorney who is
illegally in the United States can be deemed an "officer of the court." Aren't the two
things, when put together, inherently oxymoronic? An alien who has no lawful
status must inevitably engage in deception and subterfuge in order to remain in
the United States without being apprehended. That doesn't sound like the kind
of upright behavior required of officers of the court.
Moving back to the article on The Corner, Rampersaud has her own version of the
"Mr. Garcia" described above:
“One such lawyer is
Lizbeth Mateo. Born in Mexico, Mateo and her family illegally crossed the
border when she was 14 and have been residing in California ever since. In
2013, Mateo returned to Mexico knowing she had no legal visa to come back and,
as part of what became known as the Bring Them Home Campaign, returned to the
U.S. border with eight other children and demanded unauthorized reentry into
the U.S. — which she was granted. Having graduated from Santa Clara University
School of Law and working jobs that required the use of a stolen Social
Security number, Mateo now spends her time as an immigration lawyer ‘preparing
legal strategies to help undocumented immigrants stay in the country’ — all
while flaunting her own undocumented status.”
As Rampersaud goes on
to remark:
“This example
illustrates the extent to which certain states both accept and encourage
illegal immigration. Mateo is praised for being a ‘leader’ and a ‘bold
advocate’ but should instead be described as what she is: a lawbreaker. Mateo
has taken an oath of office to uphold the Constitution, but breaks federal law
every day. Square that circle.”
She's right. You can't
square that circle. But one thing I can say for certain is this: It takes more
than just a state license to practice immigration law because, of course,
immigration laws are federal in nature. Attorneys who wish to represent aliens
before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), the Justice
Department division that handles the immigration courts and Board of
Immigration Appeals, must register with and be approved by the EOIR director.
While I don't see any
particular prohibition of illegal aliens in the provision of the federal
regulations governing such registration, at 8 CFR Section 1292.1, it would defy
logic and make a mockery of the immigration courts for the director to approve
such an application for registration.
There is also the
issue of fairness to the illegal alien being represented by another illegal alien:
What happens if his lawyer is arrested before his hearing is completed, thus
leaving him high and dry? For EOIR to permit such a situation to occur would be
tantamount to malfeasance. On the other hand, it defies logic that certain
states have already taken that step-too-far, and that, too, seems to me to
smack of malfeasance.
Maybe it's time that
Attorney General Jeff Sessions steps in to require his new EOIR director to
amend the regulation and make the prohibition against illegal alien lawyers representing
other illegal aliens in the immigration courts crystal clear.
Meantime, if an
illegal alien attorney shows up in court to represent an alien respondent in
removal proceedings, perhaps the presiding immigration judge will have the good
sense to summon immigration agents to arrest the attorney and place him or her
into proceedings as well. After all, they're fair game. Being a lawyer
shouldn't intrinsically place anyone above the law, should it?

Here are a few facts you should
consider when you finally look around yourself and see only Mexicans….Mexicans
driving, Mexicans in our jobs, Mexicans in our welfare office, Mexicans
flooding our healthcare systems, and Mexicans and only Mexicans at all
construction sites.
CALIFORNIA UNDER MEXICAN
OCCUPATION:
The State Government of CA hands
illegals more than $30 BILLION per year in social services. That’s the state
level we’re talking about. Counties hand out even more with Mex-occupied Los
Angeles leading at $1 BILLION in welfare for Mexico’s anchor baby breeders. No
legal in Los Angeles or California were ever given the opportunity to vote on
Mexico’s welfare state in our open borders.
California has the largest and most
expensive state prison system in the nation. Half the inmates are illegals from
Mexico.
There have been more than 2,000
Californians murdered by Mexicans that fled back across the border to avoid
prosecution.
According to former CA Attorney
General Kamala Harris, now CA senator and advocate for amnesty, nearly HALF the
murders in CA are by Mexican gangs.
Los Angeles is America’s and
Mexico’s second largest city. Approximately 93% of the murders are committed by
Mexicans.
The Los Angeles Police department
publishes a list with images of the 200 most wanted criminals in Los Angeles.
About 186 at any given time are Mexicans. Most of the rest are Russian and
Armenians.
The County of Los Angeles spends
about $300 million yearly to jail Mexican criminals.
The City of Los Angeles spends
about $10 MILLION per year to clean up Mexican graffiti.
The City of Los Angeles has more
than 100,000 homeless and bout 5 MILLION illegals housed and in jobs.
The tax-free underground economy in
Los Angeles County is estimated to be in excess of $2 BILLION per year.
The City of Los Angeles tetters on
bankruptcy. It will be the largest bankruptcy in American history and will end
all City employee pensions. Still there will be no cuts related to the Mexican
occupation.
California ranks No. 48 out of 50
states for abominable lower education quality. Mexicans loathe literacy and
speaking the gringo language. Most Mexicans graduate from high school not being
able to read at a third-grade level.
At Santee Public High School in Los
Angeles, classes are taught in Spanish. Books are in Spanish and school
assemblies end in “!Viva Mexico, Viva Mexico!”.
Many public schools in CA have
prohibited Legals from wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo day.
California’s Attorney General
Xavier Becerra has been described in the press as a “Puss spewing racist”.
Mexicans think of themselves as LA RAZA “The Race”. The A.G.’s website no
longer list California’s most wanted criminals as they were all MEXICANS. Becerra,
as Congressman, sucked in bribes from Mexican criminals.
There have been more than 82
private enterprise hospitals and clinics in CA driven into bankruptcy due to
Mexico’s occupation of CA. It’s calculated that Mexico’s “free” gringo-paid
healthcare in CA cost legals $1.5 BILLION per year. No illegal in Mexico
received ANY medical attention, welfare or jobs.
The La Raza Sanctuary City of West
Hollywood, which employs hordes of illegals, banned the use of gas leaf blowers
in 1987. No City ordinances anywhere in CA ever apply to illegals. The City
handed out more than 400 fines to gardeners who were all illegals from Mexico.
The fines were never paid and were deemed uncollectable as these gardeners all
had fraudulent IDs. Therefore they were out there driving unlicensed and
uninsured. No illegal caught using a gas leaf blower and with fraudulent ID was
or will ever be prosecuted. In CA La Raza is above the law.
In Los Angeles there have been
numerous murders of innocent black Americans by Mexican gangs who were
“ethnically cleansing” their hoods.
LA RAZA Gov Jerry Brown has signed
each and every bill put before him that would expand Mexico’s supremacy in CA.
Both houses of the state legislature are now controlled by Mexico.
Gov Jerry Brown has openly proclaimed
that California is the Mexican’s “second home”, but when it comes to jobs, a
tax-free lifestyle, welfare, “free” medical, education and housing for many, CA
is the Mexican’s first home.
Former Mayor of Los Angeles and now
candidate for Governor, Antonio Villaraigosa is a former member of the racist,
violent, fascist separatist movement of M.E.Ch.A.
Mexico has 50 consulates in
American compared with the United Kingdom which has only 8. These consulates
are LA RAZA headquarters to help Mexicans claim their “rights”, which is more
welfare and “free” medical.

ILLEGALS
COSTING CALIFORNIA BILLIONS
By
Jerry Seper 2004 ( THINK IT’S GOTTEN ANY BETTER SINCE 2004?)
THE
WASHINGTON TIMES Published December 7, 2004
Illegal
immigration costs the taxpayers of California -- which has the highest number
of illegal aliens nationwide -- $10.5 (NOW $30 BILLION) billion a year for
education, health care and incarceration, according to a study released
yesterday. A key finding of the report by the Federation for American
Immigration Reform (FAIR) said the state's already struggling
kindergarten-through-12th-grade education system spends $7.7 billion a year on
children of illegal aliens, who constitute 15 percent of the student body. The
report also said the incarceration of convicted illegal aliens in state prisons
and jails and uncompensated medical outlays for health care provided to illegal
aliens each amounted to about $1.4 billion annually. The incarceration costs
did not include judicial expenditures or the monetary costs of the crimes
committed by illegal aliens that led to their incarceration. "California's
addiction to 'cheap' illegal-alien labor is bankrupting the state and posing
enormous burdens on the state's shrinking middle-class tax base," said
FAIR President Dan Stein. "Most Californians, who have seen their taxes
increase while public services deteriorate, already know the impact that mass
illegal immigration is having on their communities, but even they may be
shocked when they learn just how much of a drain illegal immigration has
become," he said.
ALIEN NATION: Secrets of the
Invasion….. It
S all about keeping wages depressed!
May
2006 – ALIEN NATION: Secrets of the Invasion – Why America's government invites
rampant illegal immigration
It's
widely regarded as America's biggest problem: Between 12 and 20 million aliens
(MOST SOURCES SUGGEST THERE ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY NEARLY 40 MILLION ILLEGALS
HERE NOW) – including large numbers of criminals, gang members and even
terrorists – have entered this nation illegally, with countless more streaming
across our scandalously unguarded borders daily.
The
issue polarizes the nation, robs citizens of jobs, bleeds taxpayers, threatens
America's national security and dangerously balkanizes the country into
unassimilated ethnic groups with little loyalty or love for America's founding
values. Indeed, the de facto invasion is rapidly transforming America into a
totally different country than the one past generations have known and loved.
And
yet – most Americans have almost no idea what is really going on, or why it is
happening.
While
news reports depict demonstrations and debates, and while politicians promise
"comprehensive border security programs," no real answers ever seem
to emerge.
But
there are answers. Truthful answers. Shocking answers.
In
its groundbreaking May edition, WND's acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine
reveals the astounding hidden agendas, plans and people behind America's
immigration nightmare.
Titled
"ALIEN NATION," the issue is subtitled "SECRETS OF THE INVASION:
Why government invites rampant illegal immigration." Indeed, it reveals
pivotal secrets very few Americans know. For example:
Did
you know that the powerfully influential Council on Foreign Relations – often
described as a “shadow government" – issued a comprehensive report last
year laying out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North
American economic and security community" with a common "outer
security perimeter"?
Roughly
translated: In the next few years, according to the 59-page report titled
"Building a North American Community," the U.S. must be integrated
with the socialism, corruption, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada.
"Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S.,
Mexico and Canada. As Phyllis Schlafly reveals in this issue of Whistleblower:
"This CFR document asserts that President Bush, Mexican President Vicente
Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin 'committed their governments' to
this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005.
The three adopted the 'Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America'
and assigned 'working groups' to fill in the details. It was at this same
meeting, grandly called the North American Summit, that President Bush pinned
the epithet 'vigilantes' on the volunteers guarding our border in
Arizona."
The
CFR report – important excerpts of which are published in Whistleblower – also
suggests North American elitists begin getting together regularly, and
presumably secretly, "to buttress North American relationships, along the
lines of the Bilderberg or Wehrkunde conferences, organized to support
transatlantic relations." The Bilderberg and Wehrkunde conferences are
highly secret conclaves of the powerful. For decades, there have been suspicions
that such meetings were used for plotting the course of world events and
especially the centralization of global decision-making.
Did
you know that radical immigrant groups – including the League of United Latin
American Citizens (LULAC), the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational
Fund (MALDEF), the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) and the National Council of La Raza (La Raza) – not only share a
revolutionary agenda of conquering America's southwest, but they also share
common funding sources, notably the Ford and Rockefeller foundations?
''California
is going to be a Hispanic state," said Mario Obeldo, former head of
MALDEF. "Anyone who does not like it should leave." And MEChA's goal
is even more radical: an independent ''Aztlan,'' the collective name this
organization gives to the seven states of the U.S. Southwest – Arizona,
California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah. So why would the
Rockefeller and Ford foundations support such groups? Joseph Farah tells the
story in this issue of Whistleblower.
Why
have America's politicians – of both major parties – allowed the illegal alien
invasion of this nation to continue for the last 30 years unabated? With
al-Qaida and allied terrorists promising to annihilate major U.S. cities with
nuclear weapons, with some big-city hospital emergency rooms near closure due
to the crush of so many illegals, with the rapid spread throughout the U.S. of
MS-13, the super-violent illegal alien gang – with all this and more, why do
U.S. officials choose to ignore the laws of the land and the will of the people
to pursue, instead, policies of open borders and lax immigration enforcement?
The
answers to all this and much more are in Whistleblower's "ALIEN
NATION" issue.
Is
there hope? Or is America lost to a demographic invasion destined to annihilate
its traditional Judeo-Christian culture, and to the ever-growing likelihood
that nuclear-armed jihadists will cross our porous borders and wreak
unthinkable destruction here?
There
most definitely is hope, according to this issue of Whistleblower. Although
most politicians of both major political parties have long since abdicated
their responsibility for securing America's borders and dealing effectively
with the millions already here illegally, there are a few exceptions – most
notably Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo.
May's
Whistleblower includes an exclusive sneak preview of Tancredo's forthcoming
blockbuster book, "In Mortal Danger: The Battle for America’s Border and
Security." In an extended excerpt, Whistleblower presents Tencredo's
expert and inspired analysis of exactly how to solve the nation's most vexing
problem.

REALITY OF THE MEXICAN OCCUPATION AND MEXICAN
SUPREMACY:
by Kevin McCullough
When
200 hispanic students skipped school last week and marched through downtown
Morgan Hill, California chanting "Si se puede" intermixed with
"We want respect," none were banned from school attendance on their
return.
When
five students, one of them an American from latino roots, wore American flags
to school as a sign of patriotic speech, they were labeled incendiary. They
were instructed to turn their shirts inside-out so as to cover up the American
flag. And when they refused to surrender their first amendment right to
expression, they were given unexcused absences.
Assistant
Principal Miguel Rodriguez called the flag draped wardrobe
"incendiary" because the students had chosen to worn them on May 5,
popularly known as Cinco de Mayo. (A date that "celebrates" Mexico's
defeat of the French in a single battle, in a war that Mexico eventually lost.)
The
school's administration went further in claiming the five students were
attempting "to start a fight" and "adding fuel to the
fire."
Latino
parents chimed in and chided the five students (one of which is of Mexican
ethnic heritage) saying, "we're all offended by it."
One
parent, Teresa Casillas, claimed her hispanic children were upset by the
behavior of the boys wearing the flagged shirts, calling it disrespectful.
Yet
for all the outcry, not an ounce of proof has erupted that the boys made any
actions of provocation--except wear the shirts on Cinco De Mayo.
One
of the more ignorant utterances by one of the hispanic student protestors
summed up the stupidity best, "It's disrespectful to do it on Cinco de
Mayo," said Jessica Cortez, a Live Oak sophomore. "They can be a
patriot on some other day. Not that specific day."
And
so this is what the argument has been reduced to.
I
mean, you do understand don't you that Cinco de Mayo is not even celebrated en
masse by Mexicans?
Yet
the militant, belligerent, children of latinos living in Morgan Hill are
exhibiting symptoms of a problem that is widespread. Raw naked entitlement that
not only flouts the laws, but has now led to the limiting of the most
legitimate expression whose freedom should always be protected: patriotism.
It
was bad enough that the Obama administration went on a systematic campaign to
discredit the recent right of the state of Arizona to reinforce federal
guidelines for immigration. It was bad enough that the lies were widely told,
and never retracted by news agencies that should have known better.
THE WEEK
Latino
power comes full circle in L.A.
Once there was only Edward Roybal in a position of power. Today, as it did
long ago, authority rests in many Latino hands.
By Cathleen Decker
April 11, 2010
The announcement last week that Archbishop Jose
Gomez of San Antonio will replace Cardinal Roger Mahony as head of the local
Catholic diocese capped an assertion of power on the part of Latinos in Los
Angeles that is remarkable in its seeming speed.
"It is coming full circle," said UC
Berkeley associate professor Lisa GarcÃa Bedolla, the author of two books on
Latino politics. "That's what Los Angeles looked like before becoming part
of the United States."
It is hardly accidental, however. The moves to the
top in politics and other endeavors have required equal parts population
shifts, hard-fought legal pursuit and political strategizing.
Population numbers are only the most obvious
propellant for the ambitions of both the community and its leaders.
In
1960, according to a USC demographic study, fewer than 10% of the people in the
Los Angeles County area were Latino. By 2008, according to federal census
estimates, almost half were Latino. Roughly the same was true in the city of
Los Angeles.
While trailing the population levels -- because of
lagging citizenship numbers -- the ranks of Latino voters also swelled over
those decades.
But their efforts to win elections were thwarted by
political lines drawn to diminish their heft. In the mid-1980s, legal
challenges began to chip away at those hurdles. First came a legal assault on
the Los Angeles City Council's district boundaries, which led to the creation
of what was called at the time a "Latino district."
GLORIA MOLINA – RACIST LATINA BITCH
Next came a federal court fight over the Board of
Supervisors. A judge ultimately decided that the board had drawn its lines to
intentionally discriminate against Latinos. The judge's ruling led directly to
the election, in early 1991, of Gloria Molina to the board.
As inspiring to the community as the two legal
moves were, however, they essentially accounted for a single seat each. A more
prosaic development, term limits, would ultimately do far more, according to
GarcÃa Bedolla.
Beyond the churning of legislative and council
seats was the coincident rise of organized labor as a factor benefiting Latinos
and other minority candidates. Miguel Contreras, who took over the county labor
federation in 1996, ran it like a powerhouse until his death in 2005. His widow
and fellow union leader, Maria Elena Durazo, now heads the labor organization.
"They explicitly included immigrants . . .
[which] made the Latino community a political force in progressive politics in
a way they hadn't been before," GarcÃa Bedolla said.
A conspiring assist came, at the same time, from
the non-Latino head of the local Catholic Church. Mahony had made a name as a
friend of immigrants and Latinos before he arrived in Los Angeles in 1985. As
the Latino population of the area swelled, he waded into a host of civic entanglements
on their behalf.
He publicly defended janitors during a nasty
strike. He came out early and forcefully against Proposition 187, the 1994
measure to strip state services from illegal immigrants. (It passed
overwhelmingly but was largely struck down by the courts.)
Kenneth Burt, the author of "The Search for a
Civic Voice," a history of California Latino politics, credited Mahony for
keeping peace in Los Angeles between groups seeking power and those afraid of
losing it.
"He had a tremendous impact in empowering the
Latino community and in sending a powerful signal that the rise of Latinos
should not be seen as a threat," he said. "Even though he's Irish,
he's the first Latino cardinal in spirit."
All told, the taking of power has been stunning in
its breadth. A Loyola Marymount University study of the top 100 elected
positions in Los Angeles from 1959 to 2009 found that for years, only one man
-- Roybal -- made the list. The numbers increased only gradually until 1991,
when altered political lines and long-thwarted ambition pushed the percentage
of Latino seats to 18%. By last year, 33% were held by Latinos.
More subtle, perhaps, has been the more or less
tranquil way that change has been accomplished. Although there have been
periods of contention, the flow of power from whites and blacks to Latinos has
happened with far less gnashing than might have been expected years ago.
In part, that is because both politicians and
interest groups have worked at it. Los Angeles' mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa,
won election in his second attempt by attracting African American voters to go
along with the Latino and Jewish voters who had earlier supported him. One of
the main forces behind the career of former Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, an
African American now running for Congress, has been the Latino-dominated labor
movement.
Still, tensions are never far from view. The
Republican primary for governor is currently aboil with the subject of illegal
immigration, a perennial flash point. Although so far the issue has been of
little consequence in the campaign, its presence suggests that some element of
the public remains uncomfortable.
"I don't think you can get rid of so many
decades of that competition and animosity quickly," said GarcÃa Bedolla.
"I think it's going to be a while before we stop having that sense that
anything that is good for me is bad for you."

Feds Probe University’s Device To Help Illegal
Border Crossers
Last Updated: Wed, 04/07/2010
Nearly half a year after a professor at a public
university spent taxpayer dollars to create a tool that helps Mexicans enter
the United States illegally, the area’s congressional delegation has finally
decided to investigate the matter.
The activist Chicano professor (Ricardo Dominguez)
at the University of California San Diego, a major public institution not far
from the Mexican border, proudly announced his new invention—Transborder
Immigrant Tool—in November without scrutiny from university officials or the
feds. The idea is to help Mexicans enter the U.S. illegally by mapping the
safest routes through the notoriously rigorous southern border desert.
The innovative technology is a simple mobile
application —inserted into the cheapest available cell phone on the
market—which guides illegal aliens through the least dangerous routes, areas
with shelter, food, water and so-called Quaker help centers that provide
medical attention and directions to the nearest major U.S. highway. The mobile
program is touted as an “intelligent agent algorithm” that parses out the best
routes and trails on a particular day and hour so that Mexicans can cross the
“vertiginous landscape” as safely as possible.
Dominguez, a tenured visual arts professor, was
inspired to create the technology by the thousands of Mexicans who have died on
their journeys north because they got lost in the treacherous terrain. For
months he boasted about his new Transborder Immigrant Tool, but the publicity
campaign has come to a screeching halt and his tenure is at risk because
federal lawmakers are finally looking into the matter.
The area’s three representatives in the U.S.
House—Brian Bilbray, Duncan Hunter and Darrell Issa—are demanding that the
university’s chancellor provide a precise accounting of public funds associated
with the Transborder Immigrant Tool. Referring to it as a “troubling use of
taxpayer dollars,” the legislators point out that those who worked on the
device may be committing a federal felony by encouraging illegal immigration.
Dominguez has dismissed the probe as a sort of
witch hunt, assuring that he used less than $10,000 in taxpayer grants and suggesting
the congressman should be more concerned about the cost of investigating him.
That amount, the professor believes, will be much more than what he spent on
the entire project to help illegal border crossers.
Mexico’s government has provided its nationals with
valuable tools to help them cross the border safely but Dominguez is the first
American resident, with a salary provided by U.S.
taxpayers, to openly promote such a gadget. A few
years ago Mexican officials published a 32-page booklet (Guia Del Migrante
Mexicano) with safety tips for border crossers and distributed hand-held
satellite devices to ensure the violators complete their journey safely.

“In Mexico, a recent Zogby poll declared that the vast majority of Mexican citizens hate Americans. [22.2] Mexico is a country saturated with racism, yet in denial, having never endured the social development of a Civil Rights movement like in the US--Blacks are harshly treated while foreign Whites are often seen as the enemy. [22.3] In fact, racism as workplace discrimination can be seen across the US anywhere the illegal alien Latino works--the vast majority of the workforce is usually strictly Latino, excluding Blacks, Whites, Asians, and others.”
SICK OF THE MEX FLAG WAVERS?
An American immigrant is not someone supported by government funds in a "relocation" center; flown over here at government expense; given a cash allowance, free housing, and medical care; and then eased onto local public assistance: Section 8 rental grants, food stamps, WIC, AFDC, clothes from one government-sponsored charity or another, Medicaid, and public schooling, with free lunch and breakfasts and even help with furniture. That's not an immigrant. That's a future Democrat voter. ----- RICHARD F. MINITER – AMERICAN THINKER COM

LA’s own ‘secretary of state’ not looking after our interests
Our secretary of state was one busy diplomat last week scrambling to get ahead of a mushrooming crisis.
Despite the fact that the majority of documented hispanics oppose illegal immigration, as do the majority of Americans, Aztlan and La Raza race hate groups have become the self-appointed voice for a separatist movement that threatens a violent overthrow of the Constitutional system and a barbaric program of ethnic cleansing. This is held up by the media as 'diversity' and to vociferously oppose it is scorned as racism.Aztlan and Mecha groups advocate killing all whites and blacks and driving them out of the southern states by means of brutal ethnic cleansing. Flags and placards carried at marches depict white people having their heads cut off, as seen in the picture below.
Those that protest such groups are then attacked by the establishment media and labeled as racists, despite the fact that the Plan of San Diego, a rallying cry for the hispanic Klan groups, advocates total eradication of any race but hispanics.
Mecha's own slogan reads, "For the race everything. For those outside the race, nothing."
TV stations owned by rich white industrialists erect giant billboards in Los Angeles claiming the city belongs to Mexico, as seen below.
Mainstream hispanics who love America abhor the virulent racism that the Mexican klan groups embrace.
And who bankrolls these pocket radicals? Billionaire tax-exempt foundations and NGO's owned by white men. Organizations like the Ford Foundation, groups who are zealous in their quest to eliminate the middle class and destroy America, turning it into a cashless society, compact city, surveillance control grid where only two tiers of society exist - the elite and the poor slaves.
During the May immigration protests, The Aztlanwebsite carried the following statement.
"If the racist "Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil disobedience movement will emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with the immigrant civil rights and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either form a new political party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and that is to elect our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
Here is the open call for violent separatism and the overthrow of existing state government structures.
During the immigration demonstrations, which were orchestrated by Rob Allyn of Rob Allyn & Co. who is closely tied with George W. Bush, alarming reports of illegals carrying out violent beatings began to surface. In Santa Ana California, illegal aliens swarmed around in mobs invading schools, carrying out violent beatings and in one incident a county worker had a Mexican flag plunged into his chest.
The violent protests that began on May 1 last year were characterized by throngs marching under Mexican flags, many of which were illegal aliens, as a "day without gringos."
Imagine what the reaction would be if white middle class Americans marched in their millions and called the event "a day without blacks."
The media continues to run defense for a violent militant movement that seeks nothing less than the eradication of blacks and whites through ethnic cleansing and the takeover of the southern and western states. This is a separatist junta that has over 30,000 ruthless gang members at its disposal once the call for mobilization is heard, along with millions of illegal aliens pouring across the border.
Mexicans are the most violent and racist culture in the western hemisphere.
Mexican gangs now commit half the murders in La Raza-occupied CA and 93% of all murders in Los Angeles, Mexico’s second largest city.
Mexican Gangs "Ethnic Cleansing" Blacks In L.A.
Latino thugs indiscriminately murder blacks regardless of gang membership, genocidal purge aligns with radical Aztlan theology.

Racist Mexican gangs are indiscriminately targeting blacks who aren't even involved in gang culture, as part of an orchestrated ethnic cleansing program that is forcing black people to flee Los Angeles. The culprit of the carnage is the radical Neo-Nazi liberation theology known as La Raza, which calls for the extermination of all races in America besides Latinos, and is being bankrolled by some of the biggest Globalists in the U.S.A story carried on the liberal website Alternet, charts an explosion in brutal murders of blacks by Hispanic street gangs in L.A. Far from being gang on gang violence, the Latinos are targeting innocent blacks in accordance with a concerted ethnic cleansing campaign that seeks to eradicate all blacks from Hispanic neighborhoods.
In one instance, 21-year-old Anthony Prudhomme was shot in the face with a .25-caliber semi-automatic while lying on a futon inside his apartment, slain by a Latino gang known as the Avenues as part of a racist terror campaign in which gang members earn "stripes" for each black person they kill.

In one typical case," writes journalist Brentin Mock, "Three members of the Pomona 12 attacked an African-American teenager, Kareem Williams, in his front yard in 2002. When his uncle, Roy Williams, ran to help his nephew, gang member Richard Diaz told him, "Niggers have no business living in Pomona because this is 12th Street territory." According to witnesses, Diaz then told the other gang members, "Pull out the gun! Shoot the niggers! Shoot the niggers!"
The fatwah against blacks began in the mid-
nineties, with a 1995 LAPD report concluding
that Latinos had vowed to "Eradicate black
citizens from the gang neighborhood." In a
follow up report on the situation in east Los
Angeles, the LAPD warned that "Local gangs
will attack any black person that comes into
the city."
The author notes that since 1990 the African-American population of Los Angeles has halved, partly as a result of rampant illegal immigration and that there are noticeably fewer blacks walking the streets because many have been forced to relocate in fear of the racist gangs.
"The LAPD estimates there are now 22,000 Latino gang members in the city of Los Angeles alone. That's not only more than all the Crips and the Bloods; it's more than all black, Asian, and white gang members combined. Almost all of those Latino gang members in L.A. -- let alone those in other California cities -- are loyal to the Mexican Mafia. Most have been thoroughly indoctrinated with the Mexican Mafia's violent racism during stints in prison, where most gangs are racially based," writes Mock.
Mock blames the "Mexican Mafia" for ordering the campaign of ethnic cleansing from prison, as part of a turf war with the Black Guerilla family, another prison gang, but fails to pinpoint the racist creed from which the Mexican kingpins draw their inspiration - the long standing Aztlan invasion agenda.
Aztlan's goal, known as La reconquista, is to cede and take over the entirety of the southern andwestern states by any means necessary and impose a Communist militant dictatorship. President

President of Latino group: ‘La Raza’ name was 'a barrier to our mission'

Janet MurguÃa, the president and CEO of UnidosUS, said Tuesday that the Latino advocacy organization made a tough decision to better reflect its mission last week when it dropped “La Raza” from its name.
The influential Latino civil rights organization changed its name to UnidosUS from the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) at its 49th annual conference.
MurguÃa told The Hill the decision was made after three-and-a-half years of research, interviews and surveys on the organization's image.
"We really wanted to make sure what we were hearing was reflective of most of our community," she said.
"We knew this step would be a big one and that not everybody would be fully supportive, but it’s hard to ignore the data and the changes that have occurred in our community," MurguÃa added.
The NCLR name had come under criticism from groups on the right, who pointed out that "la raza" means "the race” in Spanish, a reference that was interpreted by some as having racist undertones.
The organization got its original name in 1968 as the Southwest Council of La Raza, a reference to an academic concept put forth by Mexican intellectual José Vasconcelos in the 1930s
Vasconcelos's original idea of "la raza" was meant to unite the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural peoples of Latin America as part of one post-colonial identity group.
But MurguÃa says that image no longer represents Latinos in the United States.
"We’re not the same Hispanic or Latino community we were in 1968," she said. "We are a younger community — six in ten [Latinos] are millennials or younger -- and we’re a more diverse Latino community."
MurguÃa said the old name "appeared to be outdated" and "to have no resonance with our community."
"More than anything, our name appeared to be a barrier to our mission," she said.
UnidosUS is the country's largest Latino civil rights organization, with interests in political advocacy and research on issues like tax reform, healthcare, housing and immigration.
MurguÃa said the organization and the Hispanic community as a whole have achieved real gains over time in many of those areas.
"Real progress is achievable, but it takes sustained engagement and it happens not in a moment, but over time," she said.
She pointed at issues like the Affordable Care Act, which extended insurance coverage to nearly four million Latinos who previously didn’t have health insurance, and the earned income tax credit as tangible wins for Hispanics.
But MurguÃa said that progress is under threat.
"There’s no question that the stakes are very high for our community right now and we’re dealing with a very challenging environment," she said.
The short-term priorities for Latinos, MurguÃa said, include protecting those policies and counteracting the Trump administration's immigration policies.
"We want to make sure we can block the funding for a mass deportation force that Trump has called for, we can block the funding for a wall that is a waste of precious resources that will accomplish very little," she said.
"Right right now there’s no question that 'Dreamers' appear to be in the crosshairs of the Trump administration," she added, referring to so-called “Dreamers,” recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The program, which protects from deportation nearly 750,000 people who were illegally brought to the United States as children, is facing legal challenges from Texas and nine other states.
The Trump administration has not yet said whether it will defend the program through the Justice Department.
"There’s a real risk because we’re seeing more and more that this decision making is not in the hands of the president, but also in the Attorney General [Jeff Sessions] and he’s been antagonistic to any efforts around immigration reform or any efforts to try to promote long term relief for Dreamers and others," she said.
Ultimately, MurguÃa said, the challenge for Hispanics will be to encourage greater political participation to reap the demographic rewards as the country's largest minority group.
Roughly one million Latinos turn 18 every year, and Hispanics are a key voting bloc in states like California, Texas and Florida. Still, voter participation has traditionally been low in the community.
"We have got to continue to build on the rolls of voters, continue to encourage anyone who’s eligible to continue to vote. Beyond that, we have to make sure there are efforts underway for those eligible to become citizens to naturalize," said MurguÃa.
MurguÃa said Latino voters, widely expected to "surge" in the 2016 election, did just that, only to be "outsurged by others."
More Latinos voted in 2016 than ever before, but participation rates remained somewhat stagnant. Still, with consistent participation rates and natural demographic growth, Latinos played an important role in states like Arizona and Colorado.
"The stakes are extremely high for our community. For those of us who maybe didn’t understand how bad things could get before the election, now we know. The truth is they could get worse," she said.
"We have to take what we’ve learned and now use our ability to participate, to mobilize, to vote, very seriously, and we need to come together as we do that," MurguÃa said.

A Question of Citizenship
… IN MEXIFORNIA, ILLEGALS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN LEGALS!
A Commentary By Debra J. Saunders
Trust Republicans to go too far. They take a good idea -- such as the notion that the federal government should enforce immigration laws, and states should be able to help -- and then drive it into the fringes. Witness a Fox News interview in which Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., declared, "We should change our Constitution and say if you come here illegally, and you have a child, that child is automatically not a citizen."
Graham has supported a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. He opposed the new Arizona immigration law. So why would he advocate repealing part of the 14th Amendment -- which, by the way, exists because the Grand Old Party wanted to stop efforts to keep freed slaves from becoming citizens?
Graham's right about this much: Illegal
immigrants have taken advantage of the law. The
Dallas Morning News reported Sunday that
60,000 babies are born annually in Texas to illegal
immigrants. Last year, these "anchor babies"
accounted for 16 percent of the state's births.
But it's not clear how many illegal immigrants are coming here to have babies as opposed to having babies in America because they are here.
Then there's the recent Washington Post story about "birth tourism" and affluent expectant mothers paying offshore consultants a $14,750 fee to obtain tourism visas that allow them to give birth in the United States and win U.S. citizenship for their babies.
No one likes to see adults game the system. In June, pollster Scott Rasmussen found that 58 percent of voters say a child born to an illegal immigrant should not automatically become a citizen of the United States.
But there are better ways to deal with those abuses. Direct the State Department to deny visas to would-be birth tourists. Keep the heat on employers who knowingly hire illegal workers. The new Arizona immigration law is designed to achieve "attrition through enforcement." Deport more adults who, unlike children, knowingly break the law.
But some Republicans want to keep going. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, is arguing that the 14th Amendment does not and never did confer automatic birthright citizenship.
Section One states, "All persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the
United States and of the State wherein they
reside."
"There are two elements, birth and subject to the jurisdiction," Chapman University Law School Dean John C. Eastman told me. "For about 50 years, we've just assumed birth was all you needed." But a review of the original debates and early court cases demonstrates a recognition that parents had to "show allegiance." If they broke federal law, they "never qualified" as being under U.S. jurisdiction.
This is where the argument gets dicey. Eastman has argued that a child born to a Saudi in the United States on a temporary student visa was not under U.S. jurisdiction, as the father had not declared allegiance to America. Eastman's answer is to let people come here to study or work, but as something less than guests.
This path could turn a melting pot nation into an empire of the native born and law-abiding foreign workers who never have a chance to belong. Think Old Europe. Think Saudi Arabia.
We’ve got an even more ominous enemy within our borders that promotes “Reconquista of Aztlan” or the reconquest of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas into the country of Mexico…. AND IT IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY!

AG Sessions Set to Block Millions in Funding to Sanctuaries
MAP: Jurisdictions Most Likely to Lose Funding
WASHINGTON (July 27, 2017) – Attorney General Jeff Sessions moved one step closer this week to fulfilling the Trump administration promise of blocking millions in funding to sanctuary jurisdictions. The Center for Immigration Studies has a new map displaying the sanctuary jurisdictions most likely to lose access to certain DOJ grants, based on the severity of their current sanctuary policies.
Sessions announced that state and local jurisdictions will lose access to certain federal law enforcement grants in 2017 if they prohibit officials from communicating with ICE, if they block ICE from interviewing jail inmates, and if they fail to notify ICE of the pending release of criminal aliens ICE is seeking to deport. These rules apply to the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants, which are the largest source of federal criminal justice funds for state, local, and tribal authorities; Trump has requested $380 million for 2018.

View sanctuary maps at: https://cis.org/Map-Sanctuary-Cities-Counties-and-States
Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies and author of the analysis, notes, "The four largest Byrne/JAG grants in 2016, worth more than $10 million, all went to sanctuaries jurisdictions: New York City; Cook County, Ill.; the City of Los Angeles; and Philadelphia. The Department of Justice should cut them off unless they change their policies.

Sessions announced that state and local jurisdictions will lose access to certain federal law enforcement grants in 2017 if they prohibit officials from communicating with ICE, if they block ICE from interviewing jail inmates, and if they fail to notify ICE of the pending release of criminal aliens ICE is seeking to deport. These rules apply to the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants, which are the largest source of federal criminal justice funds for state, local, and tribal authorities; Trump has requested $380 million for 2018.

Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies and author of the analysis, notes, "The four largest Byrne/JAG grants in 2016, worth more than $10 million, all went to sanctuaries jurisdictions: New York City; Cook County, Ill.; the City of Los Angeles; and Philadelphia. The Department of Justice should cut them off unless they change their policies. Taxpayers should not be subsidizing local governments that interfere with immigration enforcement and endanger the public."

MS-13's most vicious 'animals': The brutal gangsters still on the run including one who murdered a fellow member and another who shot dead his ex-girlfriend
- President Trump on Friday vowed in a speech to wipe out the violent Latino street gang MS-13
- Founded in by Salvadoran immigrants in Los Angeles in 1980s, MS-13 is now estimated to have 10,000 members in US
- Sole MS-13 member to have made it onto FBI's Ten Most Wanted list is Walter Yovaniy Gomez, accused of stabbing a man 17 times and cutting his throat
- Robert Morales, 39, is wanted by FBI for murders of two men in Los Angeles and an attempted murder of a woman

MS-13 has emerged as America's most brutal street gang, sowing terror wherever it's got a foothold and leaving a trail of mutilated corpses in its wake.
The Latino gang's ultra-violent criminal activities have drawn the attention of President Donald Trump, who vowed to eradicate the criminal enterprise in a controversial speech delivered last week in Long Island, New York, where MS-13 units, known in Spanish as 'clicas,' have been holding towns in fear through acts of murder and bloody retribution.
'They kidnap. They extort. They rape and they rob,' Trump told an audience of police officers on Friday. 'They stomp on their victims. They beat them with clubs, they slash them with machetes, and they stab them with knives. They have transformed peaceful parks and beautiful quiet neighborhoods into bloodstained killing fields. They're animals.'

Gang crackdown: President Donald Trump delivered a strongly-worded speech in Long Island, New York, Friday and vowed to wipe out MS-13
In that speech, Trump suggested that police should not be 'too nice' to suspected MS-13 'thugs' and condoned using 'rough' methods when dealing with accused gangsters - words that have been met with sharp criticism by many law enforcement officials across the nation.
Having been started by Salvadoran immigrants on the streets of Los Angeles in the 1980s, MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha, is now estimated to have some 10,000 members in the US, many of them teenage boys and young men from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.
As Fox News first reported, among the gangsters there are currently five men considered to be the most-wanted affiliates of MS-13 in the country, suspected of slaying both rival and fellow gang members.
Walter Yovaniy Gomez, 28, is accused of stabbing a fellow MS-13 member 17 times in the back and cutting his throat
Walter Yovany Gomez: The 28-year-old undocumented immigrant from Honduras is the only member of MS-13 who has earned a spot on FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. Yovaniy Gomez, dubbed 'Cholo,' is wanted for his alleged involvement in the murder of a man in Plainfield, New Jersey, in May of 2011. The victim was suspected of socializing with a rival gang and had been ordered to be killed by MS-13 leaders. It is alleged that Gomez and another gang member, after an evening of socializing with the victim, attacked him. The victim was struck in the head numerous times, had his throat cut, and was stabbed 17 times in the back. A federal arrest warrant was issued for Gomez in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, Newark, New Jersey, on September 19, 2013, after he was charged with violent crime in aid of racketeering. He was last seen in Maryland after he was driven there from New Jersey. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the suspect's arrest.
Robert Morales, 39, is wanted for murders of two men in Los Angeles and an attempted murder of a woman
Robert Morales: The 39-year-old, known as 'Casper,' is believed to be a member of the Coronado clique of MS-13. He is wanted for the alleged murder of two men and the attempted murder of a woman in Los Angeles. On July 31, 2000, Morales allegedly shot and killed a man waiting at a bus stop. On November 9, 2000, Morales allegedly shot and killed a fellow MS-13 gang member, and fired several shots at the victim's girlfriend. On January 22, 2001, the Superior Court of Los Angeles County issued an arrest warrant after Morales was charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. A federal warrant charging Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution was issued on January 17, 2007.
Morales has a long criminal history including several assaults, burglary, narcotics transportation, and domestic violence. He has ties to El Salvador.
Carlos Flores Garcia, 30, is wanted in a double murder
Carlos Flores Garcia and Victor Alfonso Argueta: Garcia, 30, and Argueta, 31, both of El Salvador, are wanted for their alleged involvement in a double murder in Baltimore County, Maryland.
On January 8, 2006, the men were at a club in South Baltimore when they met the two male victims. It is believed the murders occurred because the suspects thought they saw one of the victims flash a rival gang sign. Law enforcement investigation revealed that the victims had no gang affiliation.
When the two victims left the club, they were approached by the suspects and agreed to meet them behind a local school. The two male victims were then stabbed multiple times with knives and died.
Victor Alfonso Argueta, 31, is believed to be Garcia's accomplice in the 2006 killing
Garcia was charged in the District Court of Maryland for Baltimore County with two counts of first degree murder on September 11, 2006. A federal arrest warrant has been issued for Garcia and he has been charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
Argueta was charged in the District Court of Maryland for Baltimore County with accessory to commit first degree murder after the fact and conspiracy to act as an accessory to commit first degree murder after the fact on September 11, 2006. A federal arrest warrant has been issued for Argueta and he has been charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
Carlos Alberto Gonzalez-Barahona, 26, is wanted for killing his estranged girlfriend and kidnapping a truck driver
Carlos Alberto Gonzalez-Barahona: The 26-year-old El Salvadorian national has been deported multiple times from the US and is wanted for killing his estranged girlfriend in June, earning him a spot on Texas Department of Public Safety's Ten Most Wanted list.
In 2010, Gonzalez-Barahona was convicted of Burglary of a Habitation after an incident in Harris County. In October 2013, he was deported from the United States back to El Salvador.
Then on June 18, Gonzalez-Barahona allegedly shot and killed his estranged girlfriend at their apartment in northwest Houston. After the shooting, he reportedly fled the Harris County area and abandoned a pickup truck he was driving in Wharton County. His whereabouts since then are not known. Prior to abandoning the truck on June 20, he allegedly kidnapped the driver of the truck at gunpoint in Brazoria County.
On June 20, the Harris County Sheriff's Office issued a warrant for Gonzalez-Barahona's arrest for Murder, followed by another warrant issued in July for Aggravated Kidnapping.
MS-13 works as an umbrella grouping of units, some of which are larger and more violent than others.
Most MS-13 members are young men that trace their heritage to El Salvador, Honduras or Guatemala, and among the members there are as many immigrants as there are US citizens. Many were born in the United States.

Country may be as high as 144%.
Judicial Watch Warns California: 11
Counties Have More Voters than Voting-Age Citizens

Judicial Watch, a
conservative watchdog organization, has sent a letter to California Secretary of
State Alex Padilla on behalf of the Election Integrity Project, noting that
there are 11 counties in the state with more registered voters, and alleging
that the state may be out of compliance with Section 8 of the National
Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
The letter reads, in
part:
NVRA Section 8
requires states to conduct reasonable list maintenance so as to maintain an
accurate record of eligible voters for use in conducting federal elections.1 As
you may know, Congress enacted Section 8 of the NVRA to protect the integrity
of the electoral process. Allowing the names of ineligible voters to remain on
the voting rolls harms the integrity of the electoral process and undermines
voter confidence in the legitimacy of elections.
As the top election
official in California, it is your responsibility under federal law to
coordinate California’s statewide effort to conduct a program that reasonably
ensures the lists of eligible voters are accurate.
Judicial Watch lays
out the specifics:
“[T]here were
more total registered voters
than there were adults
over the age of 18
living in each of the
following eleven (11)
counties: Imperial
(102%), Lassen (102%),
Los Angeles (112%),
Monterey (104%), San
Diego (138%), San
Francisco (114%), San
Mateo (111%), Santa
Cruz (109%), Solano
(111%), Stanislaus
(102%), and Yolo (110%).”
The letter notes that
the percentage in L.A.
Country may be as
high as 144%.
The letter contains a
threat to sue the Secretary of State if Padilla does not remove from the
rolls “persons who have become ineligible to vote by reason of death, change in
residence, or a disqualifying criminal conviction, and to remove noncitizens
who have registered to vote unlawfully.”
It gives Padilla 14
days to respond, and 90 days to correct alleged violations of the law.
Padilla has been one
of the main voices in opposition to President Donald
Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, refusing
to share voter data with it on the argument that doing so would “legitimize false
claims of massive election cheating last fall.”
President Trump has
claimed that he would have won the popular vote in the 2016 presidential
election if not for illegal voting, and his administration has singled outCalifornia as a possible contributor to that
margin.
The Election Integrity
Project is a California-based volunteer organization that
monitors voting irregularities.

Barrio 18: Meet the terrifying gang with 50,000 foot-soldiers across the US and so unashamedly violent it rivals MS-13
- US has vowed to crack down on ultra-violent transnational gang MS-13
- But MS-13's arch-rival gang Barrio 18 has a sickening reputation
- Founded in Los Angeles and spread throughout Mexico and Central America
- Believed to have 30,000 to 50,000 members across 20 US states
- Allied with the Mexican Mafia gang but sworn rivals to MS-13
MS-13 isn't the only gang sowing violence and terror from Central America to the US: meet Barrio 18.
Arch-rivals to MS-13, Barrio 18 has an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 members across 20 US states and is linked to drugs, murder, kidnappings and other violent crime from Central America to Canada.
'With thousands of members across hundreds of kilometers, and interests in a number of different illicit activities, Barrio 18 is one of the more significant emerging criminal threats in the region,' write analysts for the think-tank InSight Crime.
Last week, US Attorney General Jeff Sessions visited his counterpart in El Salvador to discuss ways to crack down on transnational gangs - MS-13 and Barrio 18 chief among them.
But if history is any guide, eradicating Barrio 18 will be easier said than done.
Barrio 18 is a terrifying gang that spreads from the US to Central America, rivals to MS-13
A Barrio 18 member displays his tattoos, including 'Brown Pride' and XVIII, on the gang's turf in Los Angeles. The gang has a reported presence in 20 US states
The gang is also known as the 18th Street Gang. Pictured: Members in the Quezaltepeque jail outside of San Salvador in El Salvador
Also known as 18th Street, the gang has its roots in Los Angeles of the 1960s, where it was originally composed of Mexican immigrants.
Over the decades, though, Barrio 18 threw open its recruitment to members from Central America as well, often targeting the elementary and middle-school children of immigrants.
As the gang's ranks grew, it became the target of FBI and police crackdowns, sending many of its veteran members to prison.
But time behind bars just gave Barrio 18's shot-callers a fertile new recruiting ground, and it quickly swelled its ranks in federal prisons.
Stepped up deportations also had an unintended effect, spreading the gang's reach to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras as hardened members were shipped back to their native countries, where they have battled brutally with MS-13.
A Barrio 18 member is seen in the 'gang cage' in El Salvador. His tattoos include BEST (for 'Barrio Eighteenth Street'), 666 (for 6+6+6=18) and X8, which stands for absolute gang loyalty
The Barrio 18 gang was founded in Los Angeles and was initially ethnically Mexican, but has grown enormously in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatamala. Pictured: Members in El Salvador
The gang is notorious for enforcing strict rules and absolute obedience among its ranks
Barrio 18 members are seen in a transfer to the San Francisco Gotera penitentiary in 2015. The El Salvadoran government transferred 1,177 members to the US in an effort to curb the gang
Loosely coordinated between cells or 'cliques' even at the local level, Barrio 18 isn't believed to have a 'godfather'-style leader
Loosely coordinated between cells or 'cliques' even at the local level, Barrio 18 isn't believed to have a 'godfather'-style leader.
That's made it difficult to target under racketeering laws, the tactic that brought down many Mafia families.
The gang is nevertheless notorious for enforcing strict rules and absolute obedience among its ranks, and failure to show proper respect can bring severe punishment, including execution.
Barrio 18 cliques have been linked to the international drug trade, and the gang is closely allied with the Mexican Mafia, another Hispanic organized crime ring with its origins in US prisons.
Their colors, blue and black, even pay tribute to the Mexican Mafia: blue for the allied gang, and black for Barrio 18's original color.
Barrio 18 tattoos can include: 18, XVIII, XV3, BEST (for 'Barrio Eighteenth Street) and 8P (stands for killing a police officer).
Another tattoo, X8, stands for absolute loyalty to the gang.

The gang has sown terror from its origin in Los Angeles throughout Central America. Pictured: A grandmother and her grandson walk past Barrio 18 graffiti in San Salvador
Barrio 18 and MS-13 have waged a bloody gang war with each other spanning several countries
Barrio 18 members are the sworn enemies of MS-13, another gang with its origins in California that has since spread in Central American countries with weakened governments.
'These two gangs have turned the Central American northern triangle into the area with the highest homicide rate in the world,' the US Justice Department wrote in a 2013 report.
Like MS-13, the decentralized structure of Barrio 18 has made it incredibly resistant to decades of efforts to eradicate it.
'They're worse than a cancer,' gang expert Gabriel Kovnator told the Los Angeles Times all the way back in 1996.
'A cancer you can kill. These guys keep growing.'
