When we had our push to get this story to the Major Media, I sent my article to this columnist.

Alien invasion brings misery

Thank George W. Bush for Gilberto Cruz Hernandez.
Mr. Hernandez also should thank Mr. Bush for allowing America to be the dumping ground of Mexico's wretched refuse.

Hernandez is a twice-deported illegal alien whose $44,000 annual income helped him get a brand-new home with a $122,970 FHA-backed loan, according to the News & Record in Greensboro, N.C.

This illegal is proof positive that the third time's the charm when chasing the American dream while being chased by the Border Patrol.


But also from the News & Record, Hernandez is accused of being a night burglar -- and a masked serial rapist who attacked eight women. And that he was charged four times for speeding, seven times for driving without a license or with a false one, three times for not having proper vehicle registration, and once each for running a red light, driving a vehicle not properly registered, displaying an improper license and having no insurance.

The taxpayers might also have to pay for a public defender and a $30-an-hour interpreter for Hernandez, who claims he cannot afford a lawyer or understand English.

The cost of living there must be astronomical if a North Carolinian making $44,000 annually with a new home surely worth at least $123,000 is considered indigent. It's also puzzling why taxpayers should pay for an interpreter since a spokesperson for his employer said Hernandez, a printing press operator, is fluent in English.

Immigration authorities said they would deport him, again, after the criminal justice system is through with him, according to published reports.

A spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said that prosecuting people for illegally sneaking into this republic, and throwing them in prison if convicted, is up to the U.S. attorney in the district where the breaking and entering took place -- breaking the law to enter the United States.

However, given Hernandez's wanderlust -- and Bush continually digging in his heels instead of enforcing immigration law -- don't look for a "For Sale" sign on the front lawn of the Hernandez hacienda or a "Help Wanted" ad by his employer for a new press operator.

Even if Hernandez beats the rap, er, um, raps, he still would qualify as a poster child for Bush's abject failure to protect America from alien invasion.

How many more chances will Bush give Hernandez -- and every other persistent "Hernandez" -- to breach national security? Is there any multiple of a million illegals that would trouble this compassionate conservative calamity?

How many more good jobs, such as printing press operator, will be taken from Americans and given to illegals? Can anyone seriously believe that a $44,000 job in the South went to an illegal because it went wanting when offered to unemployed or underemployed citizens?

How many more new homes will illegals be allowed to buy with taxpayer-subsidized mortgages made by unscrupulous lenders?

How many more murderers, rapists and thieves will be allowed to infiltrate this country -- and how many more innocent Americans must they prey on -- before Bush no longer accepts the inevitable collateral damage as the cost of doing business to supply Big Business with cheap, compliant labor?

How much more misery must this nation endure for you, Mr. President?

How much more, sir?

YEA!! YIPPEE!! HOORAY for you DARLENE!!! TERRIFIC STORY. Make SURE you contact the person who wrote it and thank him. That REALLY, REALLY is just SUCH GOOD NEWS. THANKS for pursuing it. Now, I need to send THIS article to the Winston-Salem Journal and just rub the salt in the wound some more!!

My message to the Winston-Salem Journal:

Well, while The Journal continues to drag their feet, the Pittsburg, PA News Tribune has published an article about Gilberto Cruz Hernandez. WHERE are your INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS?? THIS IS A DISGRACE.

Below is the link to the article:

He must of investigated the story more, because I didn't know this. Can you believe it!!! The lying sack of crap claims he can't understand English.

We have to pay for it!!!!!

Why can't they just confiscate his house?

Good follow up Bootsie.

Has this made any of the papers in North Carolina besides the one he is quoting from?

i wil email him and thank him for having the courage to do this story-

I definitely will be e-mailing him. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is the only one touching this illegal invasion in the Pittsburgh area.

The local talk shows never bring it up, they are so lame. This is the reason it is so hard to get a good conversation going about Illegal aliens.

It has never touched their lives in this area, but maybe that's a good thing.

I just called Demetri and thanked him- got his answering machine- -




WOW no mexican invasion - you are so lucky-- just think- oregon is on the I_5 corridor - just a days drive from cali-mexico

That's great news, I'm glad to see that individual action pays off.

DARLENE---YES. Taft Wireback was the one who uncovered BOTH the FHA backed mortgage AND the $30-$35 an HOUR interpreter! AND, to my KNOWLEDGE, it has NOT made other papers in North Carolina so this man deserves a MEDAL. THANKS, Darlene, for contacting him.
