The family, friends... those who knew and loved Kate Stenlie can be assured that the state of California and those illegals inhabiting California have gone "all in" against the enforcement of our national borders and laws. A California jury and that state's legal system has blatantly condoned the murder of yet another innocent citizen who was simply enjoying a day in her life with her family and friends!
The fact that 45-year-old Jose Garcia-Zarate, an illegal from Mexico who's been "deported" repeatedly over the years for crimes committed in our country shot and killed Kate Stenlie in front of her father on a beautiful San Francisco day... the fact that this Garcia-Zarate maggot can be given "credit for time served" two years later is beyond justice!
The Federal folks have their hold on him. He'll most likely be held until he's deported back to Mexico, again! But what then? He'll be back! Californians embrace these "victims" of our "oppression", our "imperialism". Besides, there's too much money to be made up here in the drug and sex trades and California's nothing more than a petri dish of illegals.
Nope, we won't see the last of this murderer, Jose Garcia-Zarate. I just hope he gets his due justice in the end.
IMHO

A blue collar perspective. Over five decades of change...
I read a disturbing article in a recent lib rag The Week that was authored by a flaming lib (huffington-puffington post's own Samantha Paige Rosen) who suggests the republicans are responsible for the increase and continued dependence on welfare by our population (note I don't say "citizens"). For the record, I am neither a republican or a democrat... I have no party affiliation and recognize good and bad in all party politics though I do realize it's become a necessary evil, this party politic thing.
I wrote the following comment in response to that article...
We had a good family friend who ran a local construction company back in the 1950's through the mid 1980's. He served on ship in the Navy throughout WWII and rumor had it he won a sizeable chunk of property in Washington State from another sailor in a poker game. After the war he was discharged from the Navy and traveled to Washington to look at the property. He decided to stay and started a small construction/development company. I worked for him and his sons for years when I was growing up. We built houses, barns, garages, stores, gas stations, neighborhoods, schools... anything. He took immense pride in taking on the "small jobs" as well as the "big jobs" in the community. He'd employ local kids like me during the summer and spring and winter breaks to teach us a trade, help us learn responsibilities, work ethic, etc. and pay us hourly wages higher than minimum wage. He'd insist that we pay into Social Security. Nothing was "under the table". If something happened medically to us on or off the job he'd either help us or our parents foot the bill or pay it outright, depending on the medical need and the situation. His whole family was employed in the business as well.
When the Dems seized power in the carter days he started getting "nickled and dimed" to death by new government fees, additional permit requirements, new, more stringent government regulations, new types of permits and higher permit fees, new taxes at the local, state and federal levels that made it financially impractical to participate in certain types of construction, locally and elsewhere. He downsized his work force in direct correlation to the demand. When the Reagan era kicked in he saw a good bump in business and renewed his community effort re: providing employment for the local kids. However, he had to compete against a new group of "contractors". Those who were hiring illegals and throwing them into the market at "minimum wage" (rarely did the workers receive minimum wage but the contractors charged their clients minimum wage at least, usually scale wage). This was in the 1950's through the mid 1980's.
Though still active his business today is a small office that manages business properties, low income rentals and sells some real estate that remains owned by the corporation. It's a minute fraction of what it once was and yet it still tries to employ some youth in the community. The problem is few want to work the jobs offered. They'd just as soon "play" through the school's summer, winter and spring breaks than learn a trade, learn some work ethic and learn how to provide for themselves, at least.
He died several years ago. He was one helluva mentor, a dear friend and like a second father to my brother and I. I'm sure he'd be ashamed of the youth today. Al was a democrat to the core! He never "blamed" anyone for the business downturn but did tell me to "stay out of politics!" one time when I showed a hankering for it. He said it's an evil, destructive cancer citing it's "the bane of freedom, of democracy".
Al! You are so VERY RIGHT! As usual, I want to thank you for your blue collar wisdom!
Rest In Peace Al!

Illegal Immigration Simplified
JOE vs. JOSE
You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California...
Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.
Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Ready? Now pay attention....
Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.0 0 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $24,031.00.
Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.
Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe Legal now has 9,631 .00.
Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month Federal Rent Subsidy. Jose Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.
Jose Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc...
Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month...
Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.
Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.
Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same elementary school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches, while Jose Illegal’s children get a government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home.
Now, when they reach college age, Joe Legal's kids may not get into a State School and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State Schools through his taxes, while Jose Illegal's kids "go to the head of the class" because they are a minority.
Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.
Do you get it, now?
If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens... You are part of the problem!!!
We need to keep this going--we need to make changes ASAP!
It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

Gun Control...
...as designed.
From an email...
Shooting in Butte , Montana
Shotgun preteen vs. illegal alien Home Invaders:
Butte, Montana November 5, 2008
Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home.
It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana , and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine.
Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun.
Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old's knee crouch aim . He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals.
When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive.
It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45 caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest.
Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news? An 11 year old girl, properly trained, defended her home and herself... against two illegal immigrants... and she wins, she is still alive.
Now that is Gun Control !
Thought for the day:
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist.'

How about this for some great news!!!
This is coming from an article I read on Yahoo news yesterday. I was going to comment on it yesterday but got tied up at work. Go figure!
Here’s the info with some of my comments tossed in…
"Fla. sheriff targets illegals
By MELISSA NELSON, Associated Press Writer Wed Jun 27, 2:27 PM ET
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. - The sheriff's department has developed a remarkably effective — and controversial — way of catching illegal immigrants: Deputies in patrol cars pull up to a construction site in force, and watch and see who runs.
Those who take off are chased down and arrested on charges such as trespassing, for cutting through someone else's property, or loitering, for hiding out in someone's yard, or reckless driving, for speeding off in a car.U.S. immigration authorities are then given the names of those believed to be in this country illegally.
"It's not wrong for them to run, but it's not wrong for us to chase them either," said Sheriff Frank McKeithen, who created his Illegal Alien Task Force in April to target construction sites in this Florida Panhandle county."
I hate to break the news to some of you folks but this has been around for quite awhile. I’ve seen it used on lumber and cedar mills up here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s very effective and although “controversial” to illegal immigrant advocates (i.e. the ACLU, Catholic Church, Mexican American Legal Defense Fund, etc.) it’s been dubbed an effective, proper and legal tactic in this neck of the woods anyways.
”Immigrant advocates say the technique is repugnant, and the ACLU says its constitutionality is questionable.
Illegal immigrants are leaving town. And builders are worried the crackdown will deprive them of the labor they need to take part in a building boom in which Panama City's Beach cheap spring-break motels are being torn down and replaced with high-rise condos."
”Illegal immigrants are leaving town.” Isn’t that the overall goal of immigration reform? Convince those who are in this country ILLEGALLY to leave. Wouldn’t it make sense to get those who are going through the proper legalization process LEGALIZED ahead of the line-cutting, demanding, want it all now cockroaches who infested this fine country over the past couple of decades?
Why aren’t the ACLU, the Catholic Church, the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund and the other immigrant advocate groups out there defending those who are trying to get things done the RIGHT WAY? Why do these organizations insist upon protecting those who are here ILLEGALLY? Why defend the criminals over the righteous?
”The sheriff said the raids are justified under a long-standing Florida law prohibiting employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.
His department has conducted dozens of these raids over the past three months, sometimes using five or six patrol cars, and has reported more than 500 people to immigration officials since November.”
Finally, someone with balls who will stand up and work WITH the INS. I heard yesterday that the 25 largest cities in the United States are sanctuary cities for ILLEGALS. Go figure! But if you or I were to cross the street outside of a crosswalk in any of those cities, if we were to inadvertently run a red light we’d be stopped, cited and our entire pedigree would be run through the computer. They’d certainly be identifying us, the LEGAL citizens.
”The Mexican American Legal Defense Fund is investigating the arrests because "the intimidation factor is of great concern," said Elise Shore, regional counsel for the organization.
Benjamin Stevenson, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union in Florida, said he finds the tactic troubling."Why are they sending out six or seven agents to investigate a paper crime, and are they causing them to run in the first place through intimidation?" he asked.”
What would be the source of intimidation? Perhaps uniformed law enforcement officers driving up to a work site to do their job. The ILLEGALS surely know their status and are going to run… why not? That’s not intimidation, that’s good police work. It’s a simple drive up and watch the roaches flee type of work. Then they simply follow those who flee until they break a law. Once a law is broken the officers intervene and do their job to protect and serve the taxpaying public who’s paying their salaries.
I thought that’s what the whole law enforcement profession was all about… to protect and serve.
When I was a kid growing up out here in the Pacific Northwest we would have little parties in the woods called “keggers”. Someone of legal age would buy at least one keg, give out a location and we’d all go to that location after school, usually on a Friday evening. We’d be partying down pretty good and the local deputies would quite often pull up in force. Those of us who were under the legal age would take off running through the forests. The deputies would chase some of us. Some would get caught, most wouldn’t. Those who didn’t run were identified by the deputies and were “released” because they were of legal age.
This is not a new tactic… just an effective one.
”As the debate over illegal immigration plays out in Washington, McKeithen is among a growing number of state and local officials taking it upon themselves to enforce immigration laws that up to now were regarded as a federal responsibility.
For example, Farmers Branch, Texas, is trying to prohibit apartment rentals to illegal immigrants in the Dallas suburb. Georgia passed a law requiring employers to verify the immigration status of all new employees.
Barbara Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Miami, would not comment on the sheriff's tactics.
McKeithen has asked Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum for a legal opinion on his tactics. A spokeswoman for McCollum said the office is researching the request.”
Yea Baby!!! The dhimmicrats and those few spineless republicans had it handed to them yesterday, eh? I think the debate over illegal immigration was pretty much put on ice with yesterdays IN YOUR FACE defeat of that Kennedy/McCain amnesty bill congress tried to shove down our throats.
”McKeithen is already under fire from civil rights groups over the videotaped 2006 death of a 14-year-old boy who was roughed up by guards at a juvenile boot camp operated by the sheriff's department. Eight former employees are facing manslaughter charges.”
Although tragic, what the hell does this have to do with the deputies chasing ILLEGAL immigrants? Those who “roughed up” the 14 years old inmate are facing manslaughter charges. Give them their day in court. It’s not as if someone tried to cover the incident up and really has no relevance to the ILLEGAL roach infestation currently at hand.
”The sheriff said that more recently, his officers have been making fewer arrests of workers who flee, and are concentrating more on asking employers for the paperwork on their employees. Sheriff's deputies then arrest workers whose documents are found to be fraudulent.”
More good police work! What’s wrong with sending deputies to check the documents of employers to ensure the documents are not fraudulent? Isn’t that what this whole law enforcement thing is all about? To follow up on tips, leads, to act on trends to ensure the community they’re sworn to protect and serve is protected and served appropriately?
If these officers weren’t doing their jobs the community would most likely be in an uproar. And rightfully so!
”Mexican illegal immigrant Jose Madrid, 28, said he has been unable to find a construction job over the past six weeks because of the crackdown, and hasn't been able to send money to his parents and his 7-year-old son back home.”
Oh… poor Jose! If he can’t find a job then something right is happening for once.
All of those folks who have been saying the laws we currently have in place ”just simply aren’t effective enough” should stand up and take notice of Jose’s plight.
He can’t find a job in construction because the police are enforcing the immigration laws… those VERY laws that are currently on the books. The money that he can’t send home to his parents and his 7 year old son can be earned by a fellow citizen and used here in this country to support his or her family.
What a concept!
"We immigrants, we are leaving Panama City. People are afraid they will be deported," he said. "The companies don't want to hire illegal people. Now they're only hiring those with papers."
Cool! Especially the part about ”The companies don’t want to hire illegal people. Now they’re only hiring those with papers.” Spoken by one of the very ILLEGAL's himself!
Wow! So what MELISSA NELSON, the Associated Press Writer is telling us in her recent article is that the Sheriff’s law enforcement tactics are working very well!
Those laws that our congressmen and congresswomen have been claiming to be unenforceable, those very tactics that we’ve been told are inept and simply won’t work are being used quite effectively by Sheriff Frank McKeithen in Florida.
Fantastic work Sheriff!
“Developer Louis Breland is finishing the first phase of a $750 million beach condo project. "Subcontractors could not function without immigrant laborers for painting, rebar and steel work. They are the best workers," he said. "Without them, the cost of construction would be 10 times as much and nothing would get built."
How about cutting back on your fat cat profits you get from using the ILLEGAL crowd? How about doing things right? How about hiring those who live in this country LEGALLY and paying them a wage for once? How about supporting those families who ARE your fellow citizens rather than sending the money home with those who have no intentions of spending any of it here?
I have no compassion for ILLEGAL immigrants who are being hunted down like the dogs they are and shipped back to where they came from. I also have no compassion for those "contractors" who are circumventing the system, taking advantage of our "social" medicine and aren't paying their fair share of labor and industries insurance for their "employees". They're making huge bucks by cheating the system.
No compassion! NONE!
I'd provide the direct link to the article but Yahoo's archived it by now. So go to Yahoo and do a search if you're interested in reading it in its entirety.

This is not a new tactic… just an effective one.
”As the debate over illegal immigration plays out in Washington, McKeithen is among a growing number of state and local officials taking it upon themselves to enforce immigration laws that up to now were regarded as a federal responsibility.
For example, Farmers Branch, Texas, is trying to prohibit apartment rentals to illegal immigrants in the Dallas suburb. Georgia passed a law requiring employers to verify the immigration status of all new employees.
Barbara Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Miami, would not comment on the sheriff's tactics.
McKeithen has asked Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum for a legal opinion on his tactics. A spokeswoman for McCollum said the office is researching the request.”
Yea Baby!!! The dhimmicrats and those few spineless republicans had it handed to them yesterday, eh? I think the debate over illegal immigration was pretty much put on ice with yesterdays IN YOUR FACE defeat of that Kennedy/McCain amnesty bill congress tried to shove down our throats.
”McKeithen is already under fire from civil rights groups over the videotaped 2006 death of a 14-year-old boy who was roughed up by guards at a juvenile boot camp operated by the sheriff's department. Eight former employees are facing manslaughter charges.”
Although tragic, what the hell does this have to do with the deputies chasing ILLEGAL immigrants? Those who “roughed up” the 14 years old inmate are facing manslaughter charges. Give them their day in court. It’s not as if someone tried to cover the incident up and really has no relevance to the ILLEGAL roach infestation currently at hand.
”The sheriff said that more recently, his officers have been making fewer arrests of workers who flee, and are concentrating more on asking employers for the paperwork on their employees. Sheriff's deputies then arrest workers whose documents are found to be fraudulent.”
More good police work! What’s wrong with sending deputies to check the documents of employers to ensure the documents are not fraudulent? Isn’t that what this whole law enforcement thing is all about? To follow up on tips, leads, to act on trends to ensure the community they’re sworn to protect and serve is protected and served appropriately?
If these officers weren’t doing their jobs the community would most likely be in an uproar. And rightfully so!
”Mexican illegal immigrant Jose Madrid, 28, said he has been unable to find a construction job over the past six weeks because of the crackdown, and hasn't been able to send money to his parents and his 7-year-old son back home.”
Oh… poor Jose! If he can’t find a job then something right is happening for once.
All of those folks who have been saying the laws we currently have in place ”just simply aren’t effective enough” should stand up and take notice of Jose’s plight.
He can’t find a job in construction because the police are enforcing the immigration laws… those VERY laws that are currently on the books. The money that he can’t send home to his parents and his 7 year old son can be earned by a fellow citizen and used here in this country to support his or her family.
What a concept!
"We immigrants, we are leaving Panama City. People are afraid they will be deported," he said. "The companies don't want to hire illegal people. Now they're only hiring those with papers."
Cool! Especially the part about ”The companies don’t want to hire illegal people. Now they’re only hiring those with papers.” Spoken by one of the very ILLEGAL's himself!
Wow! So what MELISSA NELSON, the Associated Press Writer is telling us in her recent article is that the Sheriff’s law enforcement tactics are working very well!
Those laws that our congressmen and congresswomen have been claiming to be unenforceable, those very tactics that we’ve been told are inept and simply won’t work are being used quite effectively by Sheriff Frank McKeithen in Florida.
Fantastic work Sheriff!
“Developer Louis Breland is finishing the first phase of a $750 million beach condo project. "Subcontractors could not function without immigrant laborers for painting, rebar and steel work. They are the best workers," he said. "Without them, the cost of construction would be 10 times as much and nothing would get built."
How about cutting back on your fat cat profits you get from using the ILLEGAL crowd? How about doing things right? How about hiring those who live in this country LEGALLY and paying them a wage for once? How about supporting those families who ARE your fellow citizens rather than sending the money home with those who have no intentions of spending any of it here?
I have no compassion for ILLEGAL immigrants who are being hunted down like the dogs they are and shipped back to where they came from. I also have no compassion for those "contractors" who are circumventing the system, taking advantage of our "social" medicine and aren't paying their fair share of labor and industries insurance for their "employees". They're making huge bucks by cheating the system.
No compassion! NONE!
