Have you heard the great news? President Obama, who says we need more American kids to lay it on the line in Afghanistan, is telling our MSM that he’s also “thinking about” sending National Guard troops to Texas because Gov. Rick Perry is getting a little nervous about the level of drug cartel violence taking place in his own backyard.

Should we expect anything less from our stout-hearted leader who is again in lockstep with those Beltway hypocrites who parade around the country sporting one of those American flag lapel pins?

“I think if one U.S. citizen is killed because of foreign nationals who are engaging in violent crime, that’s enough of a concern to do something about it,” Obama said.[U.S. won't rule out troops at Mexican border| Step would be last resort to address drug violence By Ben Meyerson | Tribune Newspapers March 13, 2009 ]

Memo to our fearless Commander in Chief: Are you “concerned” enough to deal with all forms of violent crime committed by foreign nationals against our own citizens, or just the kind that results in finding the severed heads of Mexicans neatly stored in ice chests along a darkened road? I’m talking about the kind of stupid - and avoidable - criminal violence far from the border that Brenda Walker regularly writes about here. Well, Mr. President, here is one more

American’s death we think merits at least some of your concern. And the solution to this growing problem, I argue, cannot be found in any of the claptrap about comprehensive immigration reform. Legalizing illegals will only spawn more illegal aliens who in turn will end up killing more of our citizens. And that’s something you can believe in.

The backstory on the zinger of a illegal alien crime apologia quoted below is this: Several Hispanics worked at a New Jersey horse farm and an argument ensued after an evening of drinking. At the end, two men had been hacked to death by machete in murders local police called among the grisliest they had ever seen. The man arrested after escaping to Texas was illegal alien Carlos Reyes of Guatemala (shown).

Here’s the happy talk about illegal aliens (not all of whom are machete killers!): Slain workers sought better life for families, MSNBC, March 15, 2009.

Now the leader of a nonprofit social services group wants to make sure their brutal deaths don’t reflect poorly on the area’s large, often hidden population of Latino immigrants.

“This is a tremendous tragedy and the whole Latino community is feeling the pain,” Angela Mateo Gonzalez, executive director of Servicios Latinos de Burlington County, said Wednesday.

The nonprofit group assists immigrant workers and is helping family members of the two victims raise money for their burial.

Gonzalez described the victims as hardworking immigrants who had lived and worked on the Sterling Chase Horse Farm on Highland Road for the last four to five years. Their coworkers and bunkmates, Carlos and Cesar Reyes, also had traveled to the United States from Honduras.

Carlos Reyes, 41, was charged Wednesday with two counts of murder for allegedly hacking Aguilar and Morales-Maldonado to death with a machete. Authorities said Cesar Reyes, 38, witnessed the murders and afterwards fled with his brother to Texas.

Investigators said the murders were the result of an alcohol-fueled argument between Carlos Reyes and the two victims. The subject of the argument is still undetermined, authorities said.

Gonzalez said the victims’ family members aren’t sure what sparked the dispute.

“All we know is that Carlos had a short temper,” Gonzalez said. “They had lived together for four years, but [Carlos] didn’t handle arguments very well. We’re so disappointed two individuals had to die this way. It’s horrible.”

She said immigrants often have problems with alcohol, and getting them to seek treatment is difficult.

“Prevention is something we try to teach, but a lot of individuals develop addictions to alcohol in their home countries,” Gonzalez said.

True! Because drinking to excess is considered macho and cool in Hispanic cultures. One way to demonstrate genuine manhood is to slug down 12 beers at a sitting, in fact.

Continuing…

She urged Burlington County residents not to think ill of immigrant workers because of the killing.

“We’re very sorry this tragedy occurred, but we do not want people to perceive [Hispanic immigrants] differently. People from all nationalities commit crimes so let’s not start labeling,” Gonzalez said.

She also said the men should not be condemned for being undocumented immigrants. She said immigrants like them fill unwanted jobs in America and work harder than most job holders.

As I’ve noted before, ethnic mouthpieces often step in after a gruesome illegal alien crime to head off a “backlash” by citizens against foreign lawbreakers. That word is not used in this case, but the intent is surely to focus Americans’ alarm about a hideous machete murder into the “tragedy” aspect rather than it being a preventable crime that will cost citizens a bundle in trials and incarceration.

Had the government done its Constitutional job of maintaining borders and sovereignty, machete enthusiast and mean drunk Carlos Reyes would still be in lovely Guatemala, but we are not supposed to reflect on that detail.

Obama’s supporters say he wants to make the U.S. more like Europe, yet the examples you hear from liberals about why this is a good idea usually come from Northern European governments. Why do we assume that a bigger government in the U.S. would be more like the government of Norway than the government of Italy?

Italy’s a wonderful place, but it’s not really a showcase for Big Government.

For example, I ran a test in 1980: I sent my parents a postcard from downtown Rome on Tuesday and another postcard from Vatican City, a separate country about a mile away, on Wednesday. The Vatican City postcard arrived home about three weeks before the postcard I had entrusted to the Italian government for handling.

It’s not exactly a secret that the Italians are lousy at government. They’ll tell you that. In fact, quite a bit of the motivation for the creation of the Euro currency was that the Italians wanted to outsource management of their money supply to the Germans.

A  Cuban immigrant killed four people and himself in Little Havana. In some but not all of the stories, it says that he “moved to South Florida from Cuba,” which is a peculiar way of putting it. I would say either “escaped from Cuba” or “immigrated to Florida.” All the stories are headlined “Man shoots” rather than “Cuban shoots” or “Immigrant shoots.”

Man shoots four dead in Miami

WASHINGTON, March 15 (Xinhua) — A man shot four people dead at a house in Miami, Florida shortly after midnight Sunday, then he drove home and killed himself, police said.

Miami police spokeswoman Kenia Alfonso told reporters that four people were shot and killed at about 12:15 a.m. local time (1615 GMT), while they were at a house in the Little Havana District.

Witnesses saw a red Toyota pick-up truck leaving the area just before officers arrived, she said.

The alleged killer then drove to his home, setting his vehicle and the home on fire, and then turning his gun on himself.

Detectives said the incident appeared to be a murder-suicide, and they believe it is domestic-related because one of the victims was the gunman’s estranged wife.

Abel Loredo, who owns the building where the suspected gunman lived, said the man had lived there for five years and had always been on time with the rent.

He said the man had moved to South Florida from Cuba about a decade ago and worked as an electrician.

By the way, the most recent shooting before that was done by a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant in Alabama, so it’s not crime Americans won’t do.

During the mid-1990s, while living in Far Rockaway, Queens, for a time I would share taxis with black ladies who, like me, had just taken the A train from Manhattan or Brooklyn to the last stop at Mott Avenue on “The Rock.” (The taxi stand’s unofficial policy was to not take black males, because they would either skip out on paying, or rob the drivers.)

One night I got into a conversation with a black matron about a drug-related mass murder that had taken place in Brooklyn the previous week. After a few minutes, it became clear that we just weren’t clicking. I was able, eventually, to determine that each of us was talking about a different drug-related mass murder that had been carried out in Brooklyn during the same week.

That situation was unique; I can’t recall any other time during the mid-1990s that saw two drug-related massacres in Brooklyn in the same week. About contemporary Ciudad Juarez, however, I make no such assurances. On either Friday or Saturday—the 123-word AP story wasn’t clear—the border town, Mexico’s murder capital, had another mass corpse find, seven and counting (as well as a policeman’s badge).

“State security official Enrique Torres Valadez said that 1,500 more troops are expected to arrive Saturday, and 2,150 arrived Friday.”

[ Police find 7 bodies in Mexican border city, by Marina Montemayor, Associated Press, March 14, 03:48 PM US/Eastern.]

In Southern Mexico, just before Christmas, two sets of eight victims each of drug gang massacres—eight civilians in one case, and eight soldiers, in the other—were found just two days apart. Thus, it would have been possible for two Mexican strangers in a taxi to start talking about a drug gang massacre that had just occurred, and find that they were talking about different drug gang massacres altogether.

This is just the sort of conversation that President-for-Life “Barack Obama” wishes for Americans to have more often.

My posts here and here on the DC /IndianOut Sourcing DC Technology/Vivek Kundra scandal have been very informative.

I have learned of an extremely virile blog Life of an I.T.Grunt which appears to have coined the phrase H[indu]-1B.

I.T.Grunt gets a lot more profane than Peter Brimelow would allow on this site (Acknowledge, $PLC!). But I think it is a serious national problem when intelligent men are so upset. (Memo to DC Establishment: Colonels, not Generals, lead military coups.) And why would they not, with their family’s livelihood at stake?

A comment on the post linked to above is, I think, of crucial importance to navigating multicultural America:

Once the Hindu-Indians take over the whole IT department (Hindu only IT ghetto), the following series of events takes place-

1. Hindu-Indian programmers further divide into two groups (North Indian Hindus and South Indian Hindus). This dividing process takes in few weeks.

2. North Indian Hindu programmers further divide into five groups (Punjabis, Gujarathis, Marathis, Bengalis and the rest). This dividing process takes in few months.

3. At the same time, South Indian Hindu programmers further divide into four groups (Telugus, Tamilians, Kannadigas and Malayalis). This dividing process takes in few months.

4. Only one of the nine above mentioned sub-groups finally ’survives’ and ‘occupies’ the whole IT department. This dividing process take atleast a year.

5. Among the final group, each Hindu-Indian IT programmer tries to bring their spouse/sibling by eliminating other one.

6. So, the left overs in this final Hindu-Indian programming group will be a couple of ‘families’ and ‘extended families’. The cubicles will become their ‘homes’.

Conclusion -
So here we have a ‘Slum dog Family’ Hindu-Indian Programmers forming a chaotic mini-Third World country within the IT departments across the Western corporate world.

Totally incompetent and abusing the unsuspecting USCIS department (which issues H1B visas) by sponsoring their unskilled spouses and siblings.

!!! God save America and other Developed nations !!!

PC comment: I know a fair amount about India. This is all too plausible.

The Washington Post exults over the superbitude of the new Housing and Urban Development secretary Shaun Donovan, who did such a brilliant job being in charge of affordable housing for New York City in 2004-2008. (You will all recall how affordable NYC housing became on his watch):

It is hard to find a detractor. Bankers and developers say [Shaun] Donovan has a deep understanding of market forces. Affordable-housing advocates say he is committed to the public good.

Personally, I can’t make head nor tail of the newspaper’s account of his doings. But, from what I’ve learned about the bankers, developers, and “advocates” in the housing racket, when they all agree on something or somebody’s wonderfulness, you’d better get a good grip on your wallet. (more…)
