More About: ImmigrationPART 1: FROM AN OFFICER'S SQUAD CAR--ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRIME WAVE
He’s a former U.S. Marine. He
served his country with honor. Now in his late 20’s, he serves as an officer of
what is known as the ‘thin blue line’. He’s the difference between you being
safe at night in your home or being mugged on a city street or killed by a
speeding drug dealer. He patrols a major city on the East Coast during his
grave yard shift. This is his log in three parts relayed to this journalist
concerning stories of America’s accelerating crime crisis: illegal immigration.
“What made you get in touch with
me?” I asked Doug Hamilton (not his real name).
“Nobody in the media will expose
what is happening in every city in America,” he said.
“I couldn’t possibly make any of
this up," Hamilton said. "Of dozens of calls that were dispatched
last night, two crashes involved Hispanics that fled the scene. One illegal was
arrested. Later, a female from Peru, who did not speak English, was arrested
for domestic assault with a weapon. I ticketed another unlicensed illegal for
motor vehicle violations.
"As a police officer, I come into contact daily with
people who are in this country illegally and who have no respect for the law or
American citizens. Even when treated with respect and courtesy, and being
warned instead of being arrested, they again flaunt the law. The reason for
this is that they know there are no federal repercussions after they are arrested
even though it is discovered they are here illegally.
They don’t respect our
laws because we don’t enforce them. Period!”
Few Americans realize that 29
percent of criminals filling jails across this country are illegal and legal
immigrants. They cost US taxpayers $1.6 billion annually. The ones that suffer
from tuberculosis or hepatitis spread those diseases to other inmates. This
causes further medical costs into the millions. This officer proceeded with a
few examples:
“I stopped a car for a violation
and discovered the operator was an unlicensed illegal immigrant who worked as a
busboy in a Spanish bar,” Officer Hamilton said. “I allowed a licensed friend
of his to drive him home and warned him he could not drive. Several days later
while I was walking a foot post, I observed him about to enter a car. He looked
at me, got in, and started to drive away. I towed his car and gave him a
ticket.
"The very next week I again observed him driving and this time placed
him under arrest. He posted bail. He was arrested again by another officer for
operating without a license. He did not respond to court or pay any of his
fines. He was arrested on a warrant, but did not serve any jail time. Every
officer I know can relate similar stories. These are just the ones we catch.”
What would you say is one of
your greatest frustrations as a police officer?
“This summer I observed a group
of illegal male Hispanics drinking from beer bottles in one of our parks. I did
not take action, but told them to the empty the bottles and then join their
friends in the picnic area. Beer is allowed, glass is not. I parked a short
distance away, but right in front of me, they returned to the vehicle and
removed several beer bottles, drinking them a short distance away. I ended
their party and wrote tickets. Why did they do this despite my presence? No
respect for our laws.”
What are the dangerous aspects
you encounter regarding identification?
“This one drives me nuts,”
Hamilton said. “Illegal aliens
learn many ways to confuse the
police and hinder them in their investigations. The most common
way is to pretend that they don’t speak English. Another common method is using
several different names. If a man’s name is Juan Sebastien Lopez-Garcia, he
will use several variations of that name and often change his date of birth. He
may use Juan Lopez the first time he is arrested. The next time he may use
Sebastien Garcia. The intent is to prevent an officer from discovering a past
arrest or warrant--and it does work.
"The reason is that rarely does an illegal
alien have any true documentation, so it is much tougher to verify a person’s
identity. A better way is to make a custodial arrest and require photo ID
before allowing release. Unfortunately these offenders are often released after
showing dubious photo ID’s that are easily obtained for a fee.”
What you’re reporting is a
complete lack of law and order or respect for the law. With millions more
poised to be added with the Obama amnesty, what do police officers think about
illegal aliens?
“I gotta tell you,” Hamilton
said. “Many Americans are fed up with the current trend of our government
turning a blind-eye to the massive problem of illegal migration. We create
immigration laws that are ignored and then, when enough people sneak into this
country, we pardon them by granting amnesty. This encourages further
violations. It is also unfair to the thousands of people who have followed the
proper immigration procedures to obtain citizenship.
"It also encourages these
people to continue breaking laws while they are in the country, especially
motor vehicle laws. Municipal and state law enforcement officials, like me, are
fed up with arresting illegal aliens,
only to have them released. We must re-arrest these individuals when they again
commit a crime, as they invariably do.”
Are you saying that national
security is ineffectual? How great is our risk each day?
“I can tell you,” Hamilton said.
“If an illegal alien wants to legally circumvent our driving laws, he can
obtain a license from a state with minimal identification requirements. In
Virginia for example, if a person has a Virginia address and a photo ID, like a
passport, he can obtain a license. Once an illegal has this document, he can
now legally drive in this country and has legitimate identification. I
discovered this after I compared notes with several other officers and learned
that illegal aliens
would go to Virginia, get a license, and then use it to drive in other states
that had stricter laws for obtaining licenses.
"This way when they were stopped,
the only action an officer could take would be to write a ticket for failure to
change address. This is what I do. I spoke with a cooperative illegal who told
me that many of his friends would go to Virginia and that they all used the
same address of someone they knew in Virginia, on the application. This was
very common. This is a tremendous hole in our national security system that
needs to be closed--NOT opened by allowing illegals to obtain licenses. Since
9/11, I believe that states have tightened up on this aspect, but I still
receive Virginia licenses with regularity.”
After writing a ticket to an
illegal alien from Guatemala whom had no license, this officer said, “Guess
what he is doing? Delivering papers. His job requires him to drive a car, yet
he has no license. Unbelievable! But it gets better. I warned this same guy
several weeks ago not to drive. I had been heading to a call and told him it
was his lucky day because I did not have time to write him a ticket. I told him
that if I saw him driving again, the next time I would tow his car. So after
writing him over $400.00 worth of tickets, that is what I did.”
This officer’s
shift was over at daybreak. He was worn, tired and ready for a hot shower and
meal. What would go through one’s mind if they were serving their state and
country with their lives on the line daily while their own leaders would not
uphold our nation's laws? It begs the question across America concerning the
rule-of-law. If our laws are routinely disobeyed by illegal aliens
at the federal level and then, at the
state level—and finally, at the local level with impunity—at
what point does a nation move toward lawlessness as the norm? What is the
definition of law? How long before it breaks down to the point whereby so many disregard
it that a community can’t function or functions in fear. With 20 million
illegal aliens
operating in the United States, an amnesty will draw millions more just as a
green light means ‘GO’ in traffic.
This officer will explore what it means on his night shift.

Roy Beck, director of www.numbersusa.ORG, graphically illustrates the impact of overpopulation. Take five minutes to see for yourself:
If
any of us, no matter what our race, creed or color might be, refuse to engage
our U.S. Congress as we have not for 30 years as to the population/immigration
equation-our children will find themselves living in a terribly degraded
America where the American Dream will be described by the history books as a
'fleeting fantasy' from the era of 1950 to 2010.
