Portland Oregon: Immigration detention for teen in leaf-pile deaths (Says everything about our traitorous open-borders overlords, especially the 'news' media, that this report reminds us that the sun, the moon and the stars all revolve around the civil rights and the many possible travails of Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros. The two little dead girls? Apparently swept away with the leaves.)

Immigration detention for teen in leaf-pile deaths

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A 19-year-old Oregon woman who drove an SUV into a leaf pile, accidentally killing two young girls playing in it, has been taken into federal custody and may face deportation.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said on Monday that Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros is being placed in removal proceedings and will be held at a detention center in Tacoma while she awaits a bond hearing before an immigration judge.

"The immigration judge will determine whether or not Ms. Garcia-Cisneros remains in detention for the duration of her immigration case," ICE spokesman Andrew Munoz said in a statement.

Garcia-Cisneros was sentenced to three years of probation and 250 hours of community service on Friday. A jury found the woman guilty of two counts of felony hit-and-run earlier this month.

Prosecutors said the crash on Oct. 20 in Forest Grove, 25 miles west of Portland, was an accident. But they say the teen failed to come forward after learning she might have struck the children in the leaf pile, which was on the street. Police found her the following day. . . .

Funny how when Yahoo picks up a story just how much of the real story gets left out. The trial is over so you can google what I wrote to check me. 1st part left out - That brother that went back to look and found out the girls were dead? He was in the car along with her boyfriend when she hit and killed those kids. 2nd part left out - Instead of going to the police they went out for ICE CREAM! 3rd part left out -- The next day, Garcia-Cisneros and her boyfriend ran errands in the SUV. Her boyfriend took the vehicle through a carwash to eliminate evidence. And the 4rd part left out was how they caught her (this is the same girl that by the yahoo story never even knew she hit them) --- Police linked her to the crash through a tip from her neighbor, who spotted her sobbing and examining an SUV outside her house that night. Detectives tracked her down and interviewed her at her boyfriend’s house the next day. On Oct. 22, officers arrested her and her boyfriend, 18-year-old Mario Echeverria.

Justice Sotomayor: Labeling Illegal Immigrants Criminals Is Insulting - “Sometimes I do feel I’m not part of either world completely” (Strange that our multicultural paradise tortures so many with this painful psychic disorientation.)

Sotomayor: Labeling Illegal Immigrants Criminals Is Insulting

Sotomayor, who grew up poor in New York City, described Monday how she navigated new worlds of Ivy League universities and the nation’s highest court.

Sotomayor told students at Yale University that she has a competitive drive to improve herself and isn’t afraid to ask questions.

Sotomayor, the first Hispanic on the U.S. Supreme Court, said she didn’t even know what an Ivy League college was when a friend suggested she apply. She wound up attending Princeton and Yale Law School.

On the Supreme Court since 2009, Sotomayor said it was tough at first as justices made references that went over her head. She said joining the high court amounted to joining an ongoing conversation among justices who had served for years.

“I figure I may not be the smartest judge on the court but I’m going to be a competent justice,” she said. “I’m going to try to be the best I can and each year I think my opinions have been getting better. And I’m working at finding my voice a little bit.”

Sotomayor was asked at a talk at Yale Law School later in the day about her use of the term “undocumented immigrants” rather than the traditional illegal alien. Sotomayor characterized the issue as a regulatory problem and said labeling immigrants criminals seemed insulting to her. . . .

Italian Migrants Sew Mouths Shut In Protest (Media savvy migrants?)

Italian Migrants Sew Mouths Shut In Protest

Asylum seekers have resorted to a desperate form of protest, stitching their lips together with fishing wire and sewing needles, to bring attention to Italy’s harsh detention practices.

It is hard to imagine how desperate things would have to be to take a sewing needle and fishing wire and stitch one’s own mouth shut.  But that is exactly what more than a dozen migrants, who are being held in Ponte Galeria immigrant reception center on the outskirts of Rome, did last week as a sign of protest.  “They are just asking for a response to end their desperation, to be reunited with their families in countries in the world where the governments are more democratic to guarantee their rights,” wrote two migrants known only as “Adil” and “Lassad,” trying to explain why they and others resorted to such a drastic step. They claim that they have been kept incarcerated in poor conditions for more than two months with no word on their asylum applications. . . .

Australia probes detention of asylum-seeker children



Sydney (AFP) - Australia's human rights watchdog launched an inquiry Monday into the detention of more than 1,000 children under punitive government policies that banish asylum-seekers arriving by boat to remote Pacific camps. 

Gillian Triggs, president of the Australian Human Rights Commission, said the probe would examine the impact of mandatory detention on more than 1,000 asylum-seeker children being held in immigration facilities in Australia and more than 100 on far-flung Nauru. . . .

Appreciating the ranchers restoring the grasslands of Patagonia--and heroes like David Fenton, not to forget his dog Honey, the Nature Conservancy, Patagonia Inc, and the sheep and the wild horses

At the edge of the world the wind is strong enough to make you stumble, and it never seems to stop. Constant gusts batter the southernmost tip of Argentina, just across the Strait of Magellan from Tierra del Fuego, where sheep graze on gently rolling grasslands as whitecaps race across the South Atlantic.

David Fenton holds his hat on tight as he gazes across the Estancia Monte Dinero, a 65,000-acre ranch estate that has been in his family for five generations. “The wind is dangerous,” he says. “It can separate lambs from their mothers. We’ve had gusts over 75 miles per hour.”

The wind may be endless, but change is coming to this part of Patagonia, the remote region spanning southern Argentina and Chile. Founded as part of the estancia system imported from Europe at the end of the 19th century, Monte Dinero is home to 20,000 sheep, raised for wool and meat. But here and in much of the rugged southern tail of South America, ranching has taken a toll on the vast but fragile grasslands that first drew European settlers. Constantly grazing sheep have nibbled and tramped the fields down to bone-dry soil, which is lifted by the unceasing winds and carried out to sea in immense dust plumes visible from space.

Today, David’s son Ricardo manages Monte Dinero, with help from his own children. But if the current trends continue, one day there may be too little grass left to support future generations. 

Recently, however, Ricardo has transformed the family ranch into a test bed for a new program aimed at stopping and eventually reversing the demise of these grasslands. 

The project, a partnership among Patagonian ranchers, The Nature Conservancy, and the outdoor gear and clothing company Patagonia Inc., could serve as a model for the restoration of one of the largest grasslands left on Earth. . . .

     It can be hoped that with lush healthy grasslands and prosperous ranchers, adequate attention will be paid to healthy pockets and corridors of wildlands and thriving native species, maybe some where wild horses, with their impressive thundering hooves, will not gain access. 

Kevin MacDonald: The Amnesty/ Immigration Surge And Senator Schumer’s War Against “White Anglo-Saxons” - "The bottom line here: Schumer correctly depicts the issue as an ethnic conflict in which White Americans are losing. And it’s clear which side he is on"

The Amnesty/ Immigration Surge And Senator Schumer’s War Against “White Anglo-Saxons”

Senator Chuck Schumer, one of the notorious Eight Banditos, gave a revealing speech to the Center for American Progress about the Tea Party  the other day. Conservatism Inc. types like Bill O’Reillycriticized Schumer’s remarkably blatant call for the IRS to be used against the Tea Party. But more important was Schumer’s equally blatant acknowledgement of the ethnic agenda behind post-1965 immigration policy—and behind the implacable drive for some form of Amnesty/ Immigration Surge, which the House GOP Leadershipappeared to endorse this week.

Basically, according to Schumer, Tea Partiers are afraid of change. He drew an analogy with the Temperance Movement of the 1920s as a reaction to the changes wrought by the last 1880–1924 immigration Great Wave . . .

Ahead of elections, GOP wary of immigration issue (Many Republicans "deeply distrust the Democratic president to enforce the law"? What, they mistrust Mr. Fox guarding the hen house? Who was the last president that cared about border enforcement, Eisenhower? Even the more the sensible Republicans today can't resist being unintentionally comical.)

Ahead of elections, GOP wary of immigration issue

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's new declaration that he's open to legal status for many immigrants short of citizenship sounds a lot like House Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders, an election-year compromise that numerous Republicans as well as Democrats crave.

But the drive for the first overhaul in three decades still faces major resistance from many Republicans who are wary that the divisive issue could derail what they see as a smooth glide path to winning November's congressional elections. And they deeply distrust the Democratic president to enforce the law. . . .

http://news.yahoo.com/ahead-elections-gop-wary-immigration-issue-091654981--politics.html

     The GOP is in such a well deserved downward spiral. With each passing day the US becomes a little more third-world (and overpopulated/environmentally and quality-of-life stressed) and more Democratic, putting more pressure on the GOP, especially from the media, to open our borders even more, speeding up the US becoming more third-world and more Democratic. Democrats sold out to Cultural Marxism. The GOP sold out to cheap-labor corporations. Average Americans are left hanging by a rope, twisting in the wind.
