Mexican Consul General advises immigrants to avoid Texas region

IRVING, TX - Recently the Mexican Consul General of Dallas recommended that immigrants avoid the area of Irving, Texas due to the large number of immigrants arrested and turned over to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Since June 2006 the consul, Enrique Hubbard, claims that Irving law enforcement has arrested about 1,600 immigrants. He mentioned one example where immigrants were having a barbecue in their apartment complex when they were questioned by police about their legal status. The consul believes that communities with large immigrant populations especially Hispanics are being singled out and is classifying this as racial profiling. The number of immigrants arrested is greater than 1,600 when taking into consideration that many other immigrants have been detained under the 24/7 Criminal Alien Program where the legal status of the detainee is checked. If the detainee is not able to show acceptable documentation verifying their legal status, then the detainee is handed over to ICE officials and most likely deported. Hubbard is criticizing the Irving police for putting in significant time and resources in going after immigrants when they should be going after criminals. Officials responded by saying that they only target apartments where high crime rates abound and that the jail staff plays a large role in trying to identify detainees who are here illegally. Herbert Gears, Irving's mayor, stressed that those arrested were arrested for a reason like an offense and that the police department does not inquire into an individual's legal status.

It is simply beyond all comprehension that the Mexican government can so openly encourage and instruct illegal aliens on what to do to violate the laws of this country and evade authorities while in the process of breaking the law.

And the silence from Washington is deafening.

I totally agree Greg and, honestly.....it scares the daylights out of me.

While I know I'm probably lying to myself, I find myself trying to rationalize the silence by thinking that our leaders are not going to put up with this any longer and are trying to correct the situation quietly, through diplomatic means, so as to try and avoid the all out violence we know is eventually coming....and possibly a conflict with Mexico itself.

Anything else, to me anyway, just defies all other logic because the majority of our Congress and Senate have nothing to gain by selling us out the way the so called "chosen few" do and there is a tremendous sense that this all getting ready to boil over.....that the "many" among our elected officials have had enough of the blatant corruption, abuse of power, dereliction of duty, etc. being perpetrated by the "few" on Capitol Hill who have decided that they will rule the world.
