Laken Riley Act Passes House But Too Late to Save Innocent Nursing Student

Laken Riley Act Passes House But Too Late to Save Innocent Nursing Student

By Joe Guzzardi

In a refreshing change from his indifference to immigration enforcemen, House Speaker Mike Johnson, with all Republicans and 48 Democrats voting “Yea,” passed the “Laken Riley Act” (LRA) 264-159, Jan. 7. Georgia Republican Rep. Mike Collins had introduced the companion bill to the Senate legislation of the same name which will be voted on later in January. Johnson skeptics vividly remember that the speaker vowed not to send Ukraine one more penny unless HR-2, the strongest enforcement legislation ever written, was included in the next bill. Ukraine got its billions; HR-2 died a quiet death. Johnson, however, made good on his most recent promise to deliver LRA to citizens who want safe neighborhoods, free of violent criminal aliens.

Both the House and the Senate bills will authorize Immigration and Customs Enforcement to issue detainers and take custody of illegal immigrants who commit burglary, theft, larceny or shoplifting offenses. Jose Ibarra, a previously deported Venezuelan illegal alien was originally released from the El Paso port of entry into the interior. After he arrived in New York, NYPD charged Ibarra with “acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.” Once in Athens, Ga. Ibarra with his brother Diego were cited for shoplifting at a Walmart before he later killed nursing student Riley. Ibarra was convicted of three counts of felony murder and counts of malice murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault with intent to rape and the sexual deviancy “peeping Tom” crime. To state the obvious, had Ibarra been deported back to Venezuela which federal immigration law requires, Riley would not have been murdered and today she might be a practicing registered nurse.

Kudos to the 48 common sense Democrats that voted for safety and security in the communities they represent. But in his post-vote press release, Johnson blasted the 159 Democrats who voted against the bill. Johnson wrote that it “is hard to believe after countless horrific stories like Laken’s, ANY House Democrats would vote against deporting illegal aliens who commit violent crimes against American citizens.” Earlier, Johnson said he viewed the bill as a key test of Democrats’ policy priorities after a resounding number of voters identified the border crisis as their top concern during the run-up to the 2024 election. Johnson may have been disappointed with the Democrats but certainly could not have been surprised. The Democrats are indifferent to ICE’s 2024 Fiscal Year Report which showed that 81,312 illegal aliens had criminal histories with a combined total of 516,050 charges and/or convictions which include the following serious and violent offenses:

  • 57,081 assaults.
  • 18,579 sexual assaults and sex offenses.
  • 12,895 weapons offenses.
  • 11,822 burglaries.
  • 5,462 robberies.
  • 2,894 homicides.
  • 2,766 kidnappings.

When LRA gets to the Senate, its prospects look good. South Dakota Republican John Thune, the new Majority Leader, supports immigration enforcement. The last Republican to precede Thune as Majority Leader was Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell, an immigration enthusiast on par with many of the most supportive open borders Democrats. Thune, on the other hand, earned an A+ grade on strengthening border and interior enforcement, as well as Imposing more rigid standards for refugee resettlement and asylum petition approvals.

On X, Thune posted, “As the 119th Congress begins, the U.S. Senate will work to ensure President Trump has his team in place to secure our border, protect our homeland, and provide for our nation’s defense.” Thune added that Riley’s horrific murder at Ibarra’s hands “should have never happened. There is an urgent need to take action regarding the border crisis to protect the American people…. which is why I chose this as the first bill the Senate will vote on this Congress.” In March 2024, the House with 37 Democrats voting in favor passed the Laken Riley Act 251-170. But the Senate Democratic Whip, Illinois’ Dick Durbin, blocked the bill. Protecting Americans is not a partisan issue; Durbin’s action is incomprehensible.

Thune is entering his fourth term in the Upper Chamber where he holds the caucus’ most powerful position and has a majority; his job is to convert his words into actions by getting LRA passed. No rush, though. If LRA gets to the president’s desk before the new administration is sworn in, Biden will veto it. Years have passed since Congress has passed an immigration bill that improves Americans’ lives. LRA is a welcome step in the right direction to protect the nation but much more must be done starting with closing the borders, clearly the most effective way to keep criminals out.

Laken Riley Act Passes House But Late to Save Innocent Nursing Student

Ed note: Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa5), Madeleine Dean (D-Pa4) and Summer Lee (D-Pa12) again voted against it.

Mary Gay Scanlon Is Fine With Rapist Illegals

Mary Gay Scanlon Is Fine With Rapist Illegals — The House of Representatives, Sept. 18, passed the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, which would ensure the deportation of illegal aliens convicted of sex offenses or make them inadmissible.

This is back in the news because Elon Musk reposted on X, last night, Congresswoman Nancy Mace’s post calling out the 158 Democrats who opposed the bill.

Congresswoman Mace was the prime sponsor.

Among the Democrats OK with child rapists — or any rapist for that matter — living here illegally were three from Pennsylvania: Mary Gay Scanlon of the 5th District; Madeleine Dean of the 4th District; and Summer Lee of the 12th District.

The 5th District is all of Delaware County along with parts of Philadelphia, Montco and Chesco. The 4th is most of Montco along with part of Berks County. The 12th is parts of Allegheny and Westmoreland counties.

These woman have their excuses for this vote. One is that domestic abuse victims might be kicked out along with the perpetrators.

It’s a cruel and stupid excuse. It fails to take into account the certainty there will be new victims by these men. That’s not the damning thing, though.

The truly damning thing is that there are citizens in Delco, Montco and Pittsburgh that will accept this excuse and continue to vote for them.

Revisiting Operation Wetback

Revisiting Operation Wetback

By Bob Small

Even many of us who follow American History may not be aware of the 1950’s “Operation Wetback”

The 1943 The Bracero Program was launched to provide temporary Mexican farm workers for US farms. After World War 2 ended both Mexico (needing workers for their farms) and the US (wanting work for their workers, including those returning from WW2) rethought the Bracero program. There were also the illegal Mexican immigrants working for American farms.

“The deportations were originally requested and assisted by the government of Mexico to prevent much-needed Mexican farm laborers from working in the United States.”

As to the term “Wetbacks” see Wetback (slur)

In 1954 Mexico sent 5,000 armed military to the border. President Eisenhower responded by sending fellow West Pointer and World War II General “Jumping Joe” Swing Joseph May Swing as INS Commissioner with orders to resolve the border crisis. Thus General Swing created Operation Wetback.

The total amount of persons deported is widely disputed. Parenthetically, there were numerous individuals who self-deported hearing about Operation Wetback.

According to the Texas Employment Commission Operation Wetback “ The United States Immigration Service, under pressure from various agricultural groups, retaliated against Mexico in 1951 by allowing thousands of immigrant workers to cross the border illegally, arresting them, and turning them over to the Texas Employment Commission, which delivered them to work for various grower groups in Texas and elsewhere. “

One of Swing’s first acts was the transfer of certain veteran immigration officials from the Border area to other areas where their strong connections with senators like Pat McCarran (Nevada) and Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas), who favored weak border enforcement would no longer hold sway.

Three recommendations were listed. To summarize; Deport captured Mexicans deep into Mexico, punish the employers who hire illegals, and end the “catch and release” program. This article included advice to then-President George W. Bush.

For another perspective, see The Militant from May 24th, 2010 U.S. capitalist owners need immigrant labor  which reminded us of the passage of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act which was also supposed to resolve this problem.

Sanctuary Claims Continue Despite Delco Denial

Sanctuary Claims Continue Despite Delco Denial — Executive Director Barbara O’Malley told County Council, last night, Oct. 16, that allegations that Delaware County, Pa. was a sanctuary for illegals were objectively false.

The allegations stem from at least 2016 and are based on claims that the county declined detainers for illegals sought by ICE.

Mrs. O’Malley said a thorough investigation was made with Delco’s George W. Hill Prison and with ICE . The county was in perfect compliance with ICE, she said.

The public forum, however, brought forth persuasive rebuttals.

Marple residents Charlie Alexander and Gary Ryder said that mattresses suspected to be used by illegals are most definitely on the floors of the former Don Guanella building at the county’s Delco Woods park. Ryder said Marple Police specifically told him they are ordered to stand down and free the suspects when they discover the lawbreakers are illegals.

And Sharon Devaney of Ardmore again pointed out the 2017 accident that left her crippled and nearly killed her daughter. No charges were filed against the driver of the striking car — despite her breaking several laws — solely because she was an illegal.

Sharon also said that since she has begun speaking out at council meetings, her bank account has been hacked and looted; her car payments have been tampered; and she received a notice from a debt service that she had died.

Defending Council were two women, one of whom said that illegals couldn’t be staying in the Don Guanella buildings because they would be reported if they were.

We suspect she was missing certain implications in the discussion.

More stories from last night are coming, including a public statement about voting machines by congressional candidate Alfe Goodwin.

Trump Won Debate Just Wait And Watch

Trump Won Debate Just Wait And Watch — As Vice President Kamala Harris did better than some expected and President Trump was fact-checked and interrupted constantly by ABC “moderators” at last night’s presidential debate in Philadelphia, some are giving the victory to Kamala.

We are confident the backwash will be ugly for her.

President Trump correctly pointed out that she wants abortion allowed through the ninth month and maybe longer.

She notably didn’t deny the claim, by the way.

The exchange revealed to many that The Donald is the moderate on the matter and Harris is the extremist.

Harris said the economy was doing great. All who go shopping this week and remember her claim will only feel extreme and uncontrollable contempt.

Trump pointed out Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine occurred just three days after Kamala met with Putin.

He also noted her culpability for the botched Afghanistan withdrawl and her indifference to the deaths of US service personnel.

And then there was immigration which Harris is tasked with controlling as “border czar”.

The Donald noted the reports of illegal immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. “Moderater” David Muir “fact-checked” him saying city officials denied it.

Well, JD Vance has fact-checked Muir. He references the tapes of 911 calls of Hatian immigrants taking geese form a public pond and numerous reports of missing pets. He further notes that officials are not denying it, just not definitively confirming it.

JD, more significantly, points out the massive rise in crime, filth and communicable disease that the influx of unvetted immigrants have inflicted on the community.

Not all cultures are the same. It is foolish to allow unvetted access from those places with destructive mores. It’s even more foolish to exempt them from our laws.

Check out this X-post from Drew Hernandez who says he has experience in Haiti.

Alfe Goodwin Townhall Highlights Pennsylvania Educational Crisis

Alfe Goodwin Townhall Highlights Pennsylvania Educational Crisis — Alfe Goodwin, the sane, working class candidate, for Pennsylvania’s 5th Congressional District has a Town Hall, 6 p.m., Sept. 23 at the Media VFW, 11 Hilltop Road, Media, Pa. 19063.

Speakers are Sharon Devaney, a mom and children’s book author, who will describe her personal experiences with public schools in Delaware County; NeDerah Griffin, a former Philadelphia Public School Educator and mental health specialist; and Joy Schwartz, a retired public school teacher in Delaware County.

Alfe is the candidate who is a veteran and retired Philadelphia cop. She’s the one who is not married to the guy who heads one of the most powerful law firms in the country and makes unsanitary hoagies during political pandering.

You can find out more about her at www.alfeforuscongress.com or on Instagram and Facebook @alfegoodwin.

Ruth Moton and Tiffany Vann from Del Vann Inspired Media will broadcast the event live.

Ms. Devaney spoke at the Sept. 4 Delaware County Council meeting and gave a passionate and timely warning about the dangers of unassimilated immigrants, illegal or otherwise, and the tragic suffering she experienced at their hands.

See the video below.

The misery being inflicted on America is entirely the fault of the globalist — like Alfe’s opponent — who are now running things.

Predicted Threat Of Illegals Coming True

Predicted Threat Of Illegals Coming True — Sharon Devaney of Ardmore, last night, Sept. 4, passionately told Delaware County (Pa.) Council that the concerns regrding illegals she has been expressing are coming true.

“I warned everyone this would happen 10 years ago,” she said.

She noted that despite council’s frequent denials, Delco is a sancutary county.

She described what happened to her apartment complex in Havertown as unassimilated immigrants moved in. It went from clean and pristine to dirty and scary, she said. Filth piled up and trash filled nearby Darby Creek. Children were left unattended and in danger.

Two male immigrants warned her to wear a hijab out of respect, and implied she should get rid of her dog as they don’t like animals.

Ms. Devaney was seriously injured in an accident in 2017 on Lawrence Road in Haverford Township. No charges were ever brought againt the illegal driving the strking car and she remains in the county today.

Concerns about illegals were raised by others.

Charlie Alexander of Marple read from the Declaration of Independence and said the county’s future and security are in jeopardy. He said drifters are breaking into and living in the former Don Guanella buildings on the county’s Delco Woods property.

Gary Ryder of Marple mentioned the armed Venezuelan illegals who took over an apartment complex in Aurora, Co. He demanded that the county begin complying with ICE and hence stop being a sanctuary.

Chris McGuckin (phonetic) a contractor from Newtown Square said that even the immigrants with whom he works want to know what is happening.

“I don’t want to worry about Venezuelan gangs in Delaware County,” he said.

Mia de John (phonetic) of Springfield said the county and media — namely The Philadelphia Inquirer — are blantantly gaslighting the public.

Council initially accused those expressing concerns as being conspiraccy theorists but are now calling them racists, she said.

She cited Councilman Kevin M. Madden and Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther as being especially guilty of the smearing.

Ms. de John also ridiculed the claims that illegals won’t vote in the November election.

“Why should we assume they can’t vote illegally if they are here illegally?” she said.

Tevin Dix of Drexel Hill noted the aggressiveness of the Venezulean gangs also citing how they instigated violence in Chicago.

“God forbid they come here and start hurting people,” he said.

Dix also rejected the council’s claims that Delco’s elections are secure.

“Our elections are not safe,” he said. “This is not conspiracy theory. This is truth.”

He demanded that county director of elections Jim Allen be arrested.

Councilwoman Elaine Paul Schaefer defended the “immigrant communty” when time came for her remarks. She ignored shouts from the crowd to include “legal” in the immigrants she was choosing to defend.

Maybe Elaine thinks she would look good in a hijab.

Unassimilated Immigrants Fill Delco Apartment Buildings

Unassimilated Immigrants Fill Delco Apartment Buildings

By Sharon Devaney

Aston is green lighting the construction of apartments in a crowded section of the township, and apartment complexes, generally unattractive ones, are popping up at an accelerated rate throughout Delaware County, PA.

Whoever can be moving into this places?

Let me tell you hat happened to me at the Waterford Apartments in Havertown about nine years ago.

When I moved in, the apartment complex was well kept and clean. The grounds were beautiful and the staff was wonderful and friendly. If I needed something fixed the response was quick. It was a child and pet friendly enviroment. The neighbors were wonderful and friendly. When I renewed my lease within the year I started having some issues with other renters which I didnt experience before.

Then trash started appearing on the grounds. These included soiled diapers. The trash cans througout the grounds were ignored. Darby Creek in the back suddenly had trash floating in it.

The new residents could not speak English. Once upon coming home I saw a toddler’s head pushed outside a screen in a window on a second floor apartment. I had to run to the office to report it to the manager because there was no parent near the baby to help him.

Another very terrifying experience was with the new neighbors across the hall. They prayed in the hall outside my door and asked me in broken English why I wasnt wearing a hijab.

“Why would I?” I asked. “I’m Catholic.”

“You need to respect us,” they demanded.

I also had a small dog and they said they did not like animals. Herbie, my dog, was also apparently a sign of disrespect.

The men shouted constantly at their wives and disrespected them in front of others. On trips to the market, it was the wives who carried in the groceries despite the presence of empty-handed men.

I started making sure I left lights on at night and made sure my daughter was never alone.

These immigrants, I learned, received subsidized rent and health insurance, along with EBT cards.

I was a single mom with two kids. I worked full time. No subsidies for me.

The new immigrants did not assimilate and conditions worsened.

I chose not to renew my lease after an accident in 2017 left me permanently handicapped. The accident occurred a short distance from the apartments and the driver at fault was an illegal immigrant from Trinidad.

Still no subsidies, by they way, and I still work full time.

A society is required to have values and impose them. One of the values treasured in America is that one may not fight about theology. Another is that the rule of law applies equally to all. The illegal who crippled me was never prosecuted, I’ll note.

I used to wonder why our government subsidized illegals and gave them privileges unavailable to the native born.

Today’s news includes a report that an armed gang of illegals from Venezuela took over an apartment complex in Aurora, Col.

It appears that a group of sick but powerful people are importing their own army.

Yesterday’s conspiracy theory is today’s news.

325K Migrant Children Disappeared In US

325K Migrant Children Disappeared In US — Donald Trump at his Aug. 23 rally in Glendale, Az., noted that the U.S. government says that 325,000 migrant children have disappeared in this nation.

“Many of these children are now in sex slavery or they’re dead,” Trump said.
“Probably mostly dead.”

One would think this might be a fairly big topic of public conservation.

Hundreds of thousands of migrant children murdered for sex in America kind of makes the reports of kids killed by the bombs and guns in the various ongoing wars seem kind of small, after all.

One looks a little deeper, though, one starts to get why the subject is avoided.

Yoichi Shimatsu, a science journalist, published this article in 2012 concerning the involvment of American “elites” in pedophilia and child traffickiing in Southeast Asia.

My long-distance interest in the Sandy Hook events is based on ongoing work with a team of anti-pedophile journalists and activists who for over a decade have tracked and exposed American pedophile rings from Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam) to Beijing, China, he says.
 
In all cases so far, our team discovered that these frontline pedophiles supply children for sexual services to VIPs traveling in Asia, including diplomats from the highest levels of the White House and State Department, top executives of major corporations, and heads of universities and aid agencies. Nearly all the patrons involved in this cruel pastime have backgrounds in US intelligence ­ the CIA, NSA or State Department intelligence.

Shimatsu says that college-age men from top prep schools are recruited to acquire the children to be trafficked.

He says these men have been groomed at these schools which starts with being raped and then turned into rapists.

They are recognizable by their passive-aggressive personalities,

“When challenged, they tend react with suppressed rage under a blank expression and then get their revenge with a strange prank against their accusers,” Shimatsu says.

The article is worth reading and can be found here.

If you doubt it ponder other recorded atrocities at prestigious American Universities.

Wasn’t that long ago we carried this story about how the University of Pittsburgh was offering abortions to women but demanding that they wait until the child was developed enough to harvest his organs.

The evil that’s being revealed is almost inconceivable. The establishment must be destoryed and replaced.

Syrians At Candlewood Suites

Syrians At Candlewood Suites — A first responder reports that Candlewood Suites in Chester in housing Syrian refugees.

Obviously, refugees are not illegals but one does kind of wonder how wedded these Syrians are to the values of their homeland, or are they willing to become Americanized.

Sharia must be condemned and actively opposed.
