Report: Mexican Military Chopper Crosses Into US, Shoots At Border Agents



Border Patrol agents in Arizona were reportedly fired upon by a Mexican military helicopter that traveled across the border.
KVOA-TV reports that Mexican authorities were conducting a drug interdiction operation when the incident happened early Thursday morning on the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation. The Mexican chopper fired at the agents and then flew back into Mexico.
Art del Cueto, Border Patrol Tucson Sector union president, tells KVOA that they called and apologized for the incident.
“The incident occurred after midnight and before 6 a.m. Helicopter flew into the U.S. and fired on two U.S. Border Patrol agents,” del Cueto said in a statement to KVOA. “The incident occurred west of the San Miguel Gate on the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation. The agents were unharmed. The helicopter went back into Mexico. Mexico then contacted U.S. authorities and apologized for the incident.”
Andy Adame, Border Patrol spokesperson, said that Mexican authorities fired two shots at the border agents.
“Two shots were fired from the helicopter but no injuries or damage to U.S. property were reported,” Adame told KVOA.
The incident is under investigation.

1,600 illegal alien college students file for Washington State financial aid



More than 1,600 illegal alien college students have filed for Washington State’s new financial aid form in order to fund their education.

In February, Gov. Jay Inslee signed the Real Hope Act, a law granting illegal aliens the right to apply for state financial aid for college, but it remained unclear how many would actually sign up for the program until estimates were released last week.

“We know how many students have filed the application, which is over 1,600 students to date, we don’t know how many of those students will enroll, be admitted, be awarded by the institution,” said Rachelle Sharp, the Senior Director of Student Financial Affairs at the Washington Achievement Council.

Sharp told Campus Reform that “$5 million was provided to the funding, making the program $308 million overall.”

Hundreds Of Illegal Immigrants To Be Sheltered At Border Patrol Training Academy…



Hundreds of illegal immigrants are going to start being sheltered at the Border Patrol training academy in Artesia, N.M.

Up to 700 immigrants are expected to arrive at Federal Law Enforcement Training Center by the end of the week.

New Mexico state lawmakers said they were not told of the plan until last week.

“It raises a lot of suspicion and creates a lot of distrust, as far as the community goes,” state Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell told KOAT-TV. “Each one of these rooms will have eight bunk beds. There will be televisions and play things for kids … it looks like a better pre-K program than what our kids will be experiencing.”

Ezzell questioned the use of federal dollars to house the immigrants at a time when veterans aren’t getting proper health care and she’s encouraging residents to speak out about the facility.

“I was told this is federal. Did they not understand that it is the tax payers’ dollars that are funding them federally?” Ezzell told KOAT.

Ezzell also noted the irony of housing immigrants at a Border Patrol facility where people are being trained to stop immigrants from crossing the border illegally.

Some points I like to add:

Some cultures remain a third world country for a reason. Letting the culture in the first world country invite the same kind of problems they have in their homeland.

Couple with the welfare system in the west which let them to breed unrestricted drive the local population to become minority. In a democratic election system. this become a dangerous game of mob rules.

usa was founded as a second europe without kings not a third world melting pot

non european immigration practically didn't exist until the law changed to allow it in 1965

non european immigrants and their descendents are overrepresented in school drop out rates illegitimacy welfare claims crime and any negative socioeconomic indicator you care to look at

"Shots Fired from Mexico to Harass Texas-US Law Enforcement"

No doubt fired from one of the guns from the Fuhrer Obama and Eric Holders Fast & Furious gun running to the drug cartel scheme !

A trusted law enforcement source is reporting that shots are currently being fired on the Mexican side of the U.S. border. The shots are intended to harass the increased presence of Texas law enforcement personnel.

Source: “Shots fired south of Rincon Village from Mexico. Unknown if smugglers are f***ing with the game wardens or what the deal is.” Minutes later, more information became available.

Source: “Not shooting at game wardens, but shooting to be a nuisance.”

Another trusted law enforcement source explained that the game wardens have been bringing in much higher numbers of illegal immigrants and destroying the rafts the human smugglers have been using to ferry illegal immigrants across the Rio Grande River that forms the international boundary between Texas and Mexico.

The area of the Rio Grande Valley sector where this is occurring is known as Zone 9. It is the Anzalduas area of the river border. This area has become ground zero for the border crisis.

Homeland Security Seeks Thousands Of Pairs Of Underwear For Detained Immigrants

El Paso, Texas (CBS HOUSTON) – The Department of Homeland Security is looking to fulfill an order for thousands of pairs of men’s underwear – with hundreds of the requested men’s briefs in the 5X and 6X-large sizes.
A solicitation posted earlier this month by the Immigration & Customs Enforcement office seeks thousands of “White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs” ranging from mediums to hundreds of 6X-large pairs of the underwear.
ICE facilities have seen a recent influx of detained immigrants awaiting deportation, during which time, the detention facilities require such basic items for the detained aliens, Breitbart reported. The ICE orders for the underwear are not unusual for the immigration detention facilities, according to ICE officials.
“This [request for quote] is a normal solicitation for routinely procured items needed at ICE-owned detention facilities around the country,” an ICE spokesperson explained to Breitbart News on Monday. “At ICE-owned detention facilities, the agency is required to provide basic necessities in order to feed and clothe detained aliens.”
The solicitation placed through Federal Business Opportunities cites that the large order – and large underwear – are bound for El Paso, Texas.
But such clothing orders may likely be needed in similar alien detention facilities across the southwestern U.S.
Earlier this month, more than 1,000 unaccompanied Central American children crowded into a Border Patrol facility in Nogales, Ariz. The flood of Central American minors has increased dramatically since last year, sparking what President Barack Obama called an “urgent humanitarian situation” near southwestern U.S. borders.
According to Green Valley News, the children are given medical exams, background checks, food, clothing and showers in the period before they are deported. However, a Border Patrol spokesman said that the agency is not accepting clothing or toy donations because there is not enough staff to inspect the items for cleanliness or safety.
State Sen. Andrea Dalessandro, D-Sahuarita, said there is not enough space in the crowded holding facilities to handle donations of clothing.
DHS data on arrested unaccompanied minors shows that since Oct. 1, there have been 11,577 from Mexico, 13,282 from Honduras and 11,479 from Guatemala. There have been 9,850 from Salvador.

Wow.  I actually agree with you. 


Mexican illegals actually do pay taxes.  They often work under other peoples SSN, paying the tax but unable to collect the benefits.  They also pay sales taxes and since they are usually poor, it is usually on most of the items they buy.   They DO get some other benefits such as education and free hospital care (because they often do not pay for it even if it is billed). 

On the balance, most studies show they do not cost more then they provide as they are unable to get many benefits from their taxes.  They for example cannot get Social Security and unemployment insurance payments even though they generally pay into these. 

Since they provide low cost labor to the service industries and farming that other Americans SIMPLY WILL NOT DO they do provide a service.  In the case of farming they provide a significant amount of food security to the USA.  On the eastern shore of Maryland we have farmers unable to fill picking jobs even at $10+ an hour, properly advertised so these workers are not yet taking ENOUGH jobs and certainly not from Americans.     Most of this farming and yard work is done my Mexicans.  After some high profile busts there were not enough workers and crops were left to ROT. 

House Dems Introduce Bill To Give Every Illegal Immigrant Minor Flooding Over Border A Taxpayer-Funded Lawyer…


Democratic U.S. lawmakers announced legislation on Monday that would provide lawyers for thousands of undocumented minors streaming across the border into the United States, saying forcing children to face deportation proceedings alone goes against fundamental American values.

“It is a fantasy to believe that they have a fair shot in immigration proceedings without counsel,” New York U.S. Representative Hakeem Jeffries told a news conference.

Jeffries and the other House of Representatives Democrats introducing the bill said as many as 40 to 50 percent of the undocumented children would have legitimate claims to remain in the United States under current law, citing studies by the United Nations and other agencies.

They also said their bill could save some $2 billion a year because timely immigration proceedings would eliminate the need to house thousands of children for months at a time.

From October to June 15, 52,000 unaccompanied children arrived on the U.S. border with Mexico, according to the Obama administration. Most are fleeing gang and drug violence in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

A similar provision to provide legal counsel for children and mentally impaired immigrants was included in a comprehensive immigration bill that passed the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate last year. But the measure has stalled in the House, where Republicans hold a majority of seats.

There was no immediate indication that the new bill would make any more progress, given deep partisan divisions on the immigration issue in the United States.

Illegal immigrant children forced to CUT OFF fingers and ears of other kids by 'coyote' gangs, claims Ted Cruz

Human traffickers are forcing illegal immigrant children to cut off the ears and fingers of other kids traveling into the U.S. in order to extort money from their families, a Texas senator claimed on Monday.

Lashing out at President Barack Obama for a 2012 policy shift that he said encourages Central American parents to send their children northward, Sen. Ted Cruz said the children are being placed in ‘unspeakable’ peril when the traffickers,known as ‘coyotes,’ take over.

‘We just heard stories of little boys and little girls, forced by these drug dealers to cut off the fingers or cut off the ears of other little boys and little girls, in order to extort money from their families,’ Cruz said after he toured the temporary holding facility for ‘unaccompanied alien children’ at Lackland Air Force Base along with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott and Rep. Michael Burgess.

‘And these children are told, “If you don’t cut off the fingers or ears of another child, you’ll be shot”.’

Cruz was relating accounts he heard from officials at the Lackland facility in San Antonio, according to a spokesperson in his office.

Hundreds of Toddlers Said to Be Taken Into Custody at the Border


Hundreds of infants and toddlers ages 2 years or younger have allegedly been apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol while crossing the border illegally without a parent or guardian in the past year.

From October 1, 2013 to June 11, Border Patrol detained 378 unaccompanied children ages two or younger, according to data obtained by Fusion from the office of a high-ranking Democratic senator. Of those children, 95 were infants under 1 year old.

Fusion tried multiple times by phone and in writing to confirm the reports with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security, but no official would comment specifically, and instead referred to a previous statement. The Department of Health and Human Services, charged with the care of unaccompanied minors caught at the border, did not respond to a request for comment.

Omar Zamora, a spokesperson for the Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley sector, limited his comment to: “We are receiving children of all ages.”

How can toddlers cross the Chihuahuan Desert without a parent or a gardian?

I don't agree with most of these. I'm Canadian and we have a lot of immigrants (more than you as a % actually) so I think it is fair to compare the two countries from my experience.


- Americans are losing their job

99% of the jobs taken by immigrants are low-paying entry level jobs. You should be thanking them for working in fast food and stores like Walmart. People in North America love their Mcdonalds and their Starbucks and their Walmarts and Targets and they are staffed primarily with immigrants.

- There has been an increase in crime, pollution and traffic congestion

 Well first of all you don't provide any stats for increases in these things. But more importantly, how can you link these directly to immigrants?
 
- Erosion of culture


Erosion of MAINSTREAM culture. But is that necessarily a bad thing? Canada is multicultural and people here have the freedom to live in large ethnic enclaves. I may not like their culture and their decision to stay traditional, but I think it is nice that they have the right and freedom to do so without being discriminated against.

- Over-utilization of resources such as electricity, gas, food, etc

Have there been shortages or huge price increases? The only thing I can think of is oil. But that has nothing to do with immigrants, oil is getting scarcer everywhere in the world.

- Loss in form of remittance

How about all the losses when the people at the top of the banking/business system siphon all the wealth and prevent it from moving back downwards? I think that is a far bigger issue...

This is totally true. It's been downhill since 1492.

You should visit other countries and see how you will be treated see if they extend the same courtesy as you have shown them.

yeah i know right? it's so convenient to be ignorant. long ago, people bred like crazy because.. well, there probably wasn't much to do, especially at night, so you end up fucking and making more kids. illegal immigration is a problem, sure, but it's not THE problem... unless you are just a xenophobe.

Generalization is so  easy and relaxing
