-Lurid Crime Tales-
Two-time illegal immigrant charged with rape in Philly's sanctuary city
[WASHINGTONTIMES] He could become the Willie Horton of the immigration crisis.

Milton Mateo Garcia, 28, was caught one year ago entering the U.S. illegally across the Mexican border and was deported back to his native Honduras.

But Mr. Garcia soon re-entered the U.S. illegally — federal authorities either don't know how, or they won't say. He settled with relatives in Philadelphia, where Mayor Michael Nutter had signed an executive order in April declaring it a "sanctuary city" for illegal immigrants.

Since then, it's the city's official policy to defy federal authorities seeking to deport illegal immigrants unless the person sought by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has been convicted of a violent felony. More than 100 communities nationwide have enacted similar policies, with the tacit blessing of the Obama administration.

Living and working in sanctuary, Mr. Garcia last month, according to police, approached a 26-year-old Philadelphia doctor who was walking to her home in the city's fashionable Rittenhouse Square neighborhood after a night out with friends. He is accused of forcing the woman into her apartment and raping her repeatedly.

Police said Mr. Garcia then stole the victim's cellphone and rode away on his bicycle. In perhaps not the smartest of moves, Mr. Garcia kept the victim's smartphone in his possession. Police said they found him, in part, by calling the phone and locating its signal.

#1  So has Mayor Michael Nutter been arrested as an accessory to Rape yet?

Seriously we need to hold these politicians personally responsible for the results of their 'sanctuary city' bullshit.

#2  More than 100 communities nationwide have enacted similar policies, with the tacit blessing of the Obama administration.

'Tacit blessing' hell? He's now shipping them in by the tens of thousands. The Zimbabwification is well under way.

'Tequila Party' Asks Holder to Prosecute Tea Party for Murrieta 'Terrorism'

#1  You haven't seen terrorism yet, you fat turd. I pray you never do.
Posted by: DarthVader || 07/08/2014 15:58 Comments || Top||

#2  Lame.
Sort of like going back to colonial Jamaica and starting the Rum party.

No crap fat; other than being so pale he can forego the light switch, how does he make it to the toilet on time?
Posted by: swksvolFF || 07/08/2014 16:05 Comments || Top||

#3  Gosh, here I thought it was the administration that was violating the law. Don't expect Holder to do anything about it though.
Posted by: Ebbang Uluque6305 || 07/08/2014 16:08 Comments || Top||

#4  I think it's a "she" in the picture, swksvolFF. But it's kinda hard to tell. Certainly a fat turd.

#6  These people haven't seen white people riot. Think French Revolution. Big turn over in the bureaucracy, special interest groups, and one percenters.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 07/08/2014 16:46 Comments || Top||

#7  How about conspiracy to violate existing federal law (ie legal immigration statutes)? Oh, wait, Holder would have to investigate himself. Never mind.

#11  They don't even have a Tea Party in Murrieta. How about the citizens of Murrietta sue the Taqiyya Party for damages to their community.

#12  Garcia-Blase is also head of Somos Republican (We Are Republican), the largest Hispanic GOP group in the nation... Garcia-Blase concedes the idea for the Tequila Party was not originally hers. She credits Fernando Romero as being the inspiration behind the movement. Romero is president of the nonpartisan Nevada group Hispanics in Politics... Romero first got involved in politics more than 30 years ago as a volunteer for now-Sen. Harry Reid's campaign for lieutenant governor of Nevada.
Posted by: Pappy || 07/08/2014 21:00 Comments || Top||

#13  And:

When asked if any political leaders are backing the movement, Garcia-Blase said that the group has reached out to Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) to be its national spokesman, but is still "waiting to hear back" from his office. Democratic State Rep. Steve Gallardo is scheduled to speak at Saturday's event. For now, Garcia-Blase is running the show with help from political consultant Gus Garcia and 55 fellow political activists she's chosen from around the country to serve as leaders. As for funding, Garcia-Blase said it has yet to be established but she is in talks with a woman in Florida whom Blase says she prefers not to name at this time.

EPA gives itself authority to garnish wages without court order
Posted by: DarthVader || 07/08/2014 11:05 || Comments || Link || [0 views] Top|| File under:

#1  A) Unconstitutional as it violates due process

B) Agencies should never be able to grant themselves new powers. That should be in congress' domain.

C) Long past time for some tar and feathering of EPA officials
Posted by: DarthVader || 07/08/2014 11:07 Comments || Top||

#2  It's a draft rule. When the EPA finalizes it in September they'll be taken to court, whereupon they'll be enjoined from enforcing the rule. Then they'll lose and pay the opposing sides' legal fees.

I have foreseen this.
Posted by: Steve White || 07/08/2014 13:11 Comments || Top||

#3  The EPA should be more concerned about employees pooping on the floor.
Posted by: airandee || 07/08/2014 13:19 Comments || Top||

#4  I am old enough to remember when the environment was in fact much worse than it is today. The EPA has done some good. Of course, in many cases, what they did was shut down industries.

The problem is that they keep looking for new things to regulate - CO2, dust from farms, etc. Like all beauracracies, they keep trying to expand their reach and their powers.

#5  Yes, the air and water are far cleaner today than in 1970 with only 2/3rd as many people back then. However, the first principle of a bureaucracy is self preservation rather than 'mission accomplished'. Other than the original departments established in the Washington administration, all other should have a sunset date requiring renewal every dozen years or so.

#6  Yes, the air and water are far cleaner today than in 1970 with only 2/3rd as many people back then.

Old Dick Nixon must be spinning in his grave. I refuse to believe he ever imagined anything like this.

#7  What DarthVader said in #1.

Add D) Reduce EPA funding until they come back in line or disappear.

Federal court orders AZ to issue drivers licenses to illegals

#1  Last Tuesday Colorado began issuing restricted (cannot be used for voting, boarding a plane ect) drivers licenses to illegal aliens. That morning the website had more than 60,000 hits and crashed. Sixty K, and that does not count the number that swarmed the DMV offices.

#2  Members of the Judiciary have been using way too much hemp on their off time.

#4  And congress sits on its collective arse and does nothing. We are a broken government.

#5  Un-frickin believable.
Posted by: genbara || 07/08/2014 13:47 Comments || Top||

#6  They should have manditory jail time (or/plus deportation for illegals) for driving without insurance.

They should issues international drivers licenses to non-citizens. Illegals and legal migrant workers. They should require renewal more often than normal licenses and to be caught driving with no license should result in mandatory sentence (or/plus deportation for illegals).

#7  Most likely this will get moved higher up in the court system.

#10  The aristocracy sort of ignores this little Article I, act. Remember, laws are for little people.

#11  Ah, yes, of course. The Good Old Ninth Circus. Let's see what SCOTUS says.
Posted by: Ebbang Uluque6305 || 07/08/2014 15:49 Comments || Top||

#12  And congress sits on its collective arse and does nothing. We are a broken government.

The Republican-controlled house passes all sorts of desirable bills, Alaska Paul, which then languish in committee in Harry Reed's Senate, backed by President Obama's promise of a veto of everything that's not something he actually wants. We don't have a broken government, but rather a deliberately obstructionist Democratic Party-controlled upper house of Congress.

You want change? Vote in your Republican candidate for Senate, even if he/she is a rhino. Remove Democratic control of the Senate, preferably with a veto-proof majority. That way actual politicking can take place, instead of this petty nastiness.

#13  So next year he uses an executive order and grants them citizenship. The rights heads explode and file suit under constitutional grounds. He says its the rights fault the poor are being kept down. The population is further polarized. The Supreme court sides with the right and riots ensue. Constitutional crisis as Obama desired, elections put on hold, the coup is complete.

#14  49pan, if that happens, it's open season on politicians, starting with Obama. I predict that he and other would-be dictators would be shot dead and strung up Mussolini style within weeks.

#15  How soon will these illegals with their new drivers license show up at the polls under the motor voter law passed under Clinton and be allowed to vote Donk (SARC ON)?

two can play that game
(remember when they made promises to pro-life Donks and independents in order to pass Obamacare? as their acts show, they can't remember either)
