Criminal Illegal Alien Task Force Cleans Up Utah

Posted: 23 Oct 2009 12:15 PM PDT

A new stimulus-funded task force targeting criminal illegal immigrants in Utah has helped rid the state that has long offered sanctuary to the undocumented of violence, gangbangers, weapons and other serious public safety threats.

Created by the state legislature a few months ago, the SECURE Strike Force pursues only illegal aliens who commit major crimes and not the hard-working "housemaids" or "lawn workers," according to Utah law enforcement officials. This, they claim, has made the operation popular among most of the sate's immigrant communities.

In four months the strike force—staffed by six investigators and a prosecutor—has experienced phenomenal success, seizing substantial amounts of narcotics, weapons and thousands of fake identification cards. Dozens of violent gang members have also been arrested, many of which will be deported and others criminally charged in U.S. courts.  

The magnitude of the criminal activity among illegal aliens in his state has surprised Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who says "the impact of violent and major financial crime committed by undocumented aliens is even more serious and profound than originally believed."  

The Beehive State has always been quite friendly to illegal immigrants with at least two major cities—Provo and Salt Lake City—offering them official sanctuary or protection from federal immigration authorities. Utah also offers illegal aliens special Driving Privilege Cards and discounted college tuition—usually reserved for legal state residents—at public colleges and universities. 

But a surge in the illegal alien population in the last few years and a major increase in violent crimes—including murder, rape and robbery—among the undocumented, pushed state lawmakers to take action. They chose to create the special task force and finance it with nearly $2 million in federal stimulus funds allocated to the state. 

Immigration advocates predictably opposed and fought the idea, spewing the all too familiar discrimination and racial profiling rhetoric coined by the influential La Raza movement. It's difficult to argue with the program's success, [...]

Lawmaker Gets Donors’ Puerto Rican Bank $935 Million Bailout

Posted: 23 Oct 2009 08:45 AM PDT

A veteran Illinois congressman embroiled in a big-city corruption scandal last year unscrupulously pressed the federal government to bail out a Puerto Rican bank operated by his wife and several major political donors.

Eight-term Democrat Luis Gutierrez conveniently omitted his longtime close ties to the failing Banco Popular when he directed the Treasury Department to save it, claiming it was a special case in need of an urgent rescue. In a letter to the nation's Treasury Secretary Gutierrez said it's in the best interest of the U.S. government and Puerto Rico that the failing bank continues providing services to maintain a safe and sound financial system.

He actually tells the Treasury Secretary that helping Banco Popular is of "utmost importance" to 4 million American citizens in Puerto Rico and minority communities across the country. The once-secret correspondence was obtained, under the Freedom of Information Act, by a news publication dedicated to covering Capitol Hill. 

Thanks to Gutierrez's intervention, the government gave the Puerto Rican bank $935 million although it continues to struggle, losing $361 million in the last nine months, according to the newspaper that broke the story. In ardently advocating for the taxpayer bailout, Gutierrez never mentions his close association with Banco Popular or that his wife, Soraida, was a senior vice president at the problematic financial institution. He also leaves out that bank executives have contributed tens of thousands of dollars to his political campaigns.

Last year Gutierrez was embroiled in another scandal involving a political donor who benefitted from his influence in obtaining suspicious zoning changes in Chicago. Gutierrez heavily lobbied the city's mayor to back a controversial multi million-dollar development for a campaign donor who had just given him $200,000.

Earlier this week the popular legislator, who chairs a key congressional immigration task force, offered a sneak preview of the "compassionate" and "comprehensive" law the Obama Administration is having him craft to legalize the nation's estimated 12 million undocumented aliens. Long an advocate of illegal immigrants, Gutierrez wants them to have a pathway to citizenship, guaranteed humane treatment in U.S. prisons and discounted tuition at public colleges and [...]

ANALYSIS / Will Iran nuke deal bury chances of Israeli attack?

Posted: 23 Oct 2009 07:28 AM PDT

It's no surprise the agreement emerging between Iran and the international community is being greeted in Jerusalem with a grain of salt. It is not easy to be weaned off 15 years of suspicions. Not only does Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad not inspire much confidence, the entire Iranian regime has earned a reputation of deceptiveness. It will take a long time for Israel's intelligence community and decision makers to accept an assessment that in Vienna, the Jewish state was saved. [...]
