Race-hustling Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is accusing the Cambridge Police of racially profiling him.  The amusing thing is that even the Boston media doesn’t seem to be buying it.

According to the police report, which is well worth reading, a neighbor called 911 to report a possible break-in at Gates’ Cambridge residence.  But when the officer responded, Gates belligerently berated him for being a racist.  When the officer then asked to speak to him outside, Gates shouted,

“Ya, I’ll speak to your mama outside.”

This, from “one of the nation’s pre-eminent African-American scholars”, as the Boston Globe describes him.

The officer arrested Gates for disorderly conduct and, from the police report, one can understand why.

Crime is a major problem in Cambridge, if only because Harvard, like Yale, foolishly allowed housing projects to built right near campus in order to show how tolerant they are. A drug-related murder recently occurred on the Harvard campus — and yes, those involved were all black.

No doubt, in the People’s Republic of Cambridge, policemen are forced to endure significant “sensitivity training” regarding race (Cambridge even has a “Peace Comission” ).  But the responding officers are white and Hispanic and their reports coincide. There also seem to be several witnesses who watched from the street.

Read this article from DigitalJournal for a good take on Cambridge, crime and Gates.

On Friday, the Rhode Island Superior Court again upheld Gov. Don Carcier’s Executive Order, issued last year, requiring all state contractors to use E-Verify. The ACLU brought the suit against Carcieri for the usual nonsensical reasons.

Gov. Don Carcieri also defeated the ACLU back in January when they sued the Rhode Island State Police for alleged racial profiling of hispanic immigrants (even though the immigrants in question were, in fact, illegal).

Once again, the MSM continues to ignore these victories for our side.

It’s about time Don Carcieri received national notice for his leadership on immigration reform. He may be the governor of our smallest state, but he would be a great candidate for national office in 2012.

Cop-killer and child rapist, Lovelle Mixon, has quickly become a cult hero among many Bay Area blacks.  On Saturday afternoon, March 21^st, Mixon shot two policemen who had just pulled him over in downtown Oakland.  As both officers were lying on the street, Mixon then stood over them and fired again, just for good measure.  Mixon then fled to his sister’s apartment where, hours later, he shot three more officers who were trying to apprehend him, killing two.

Nixon was black and all of the policemen were white, including one half-Asian officer.

Within hours a group of blacks appeared and taunted the officers who put up police tape around the crime scene.  Next, they assembled a small shrine to Mixon outside the apartment where he died, and many blacks continue to go there to pay their respects to the greatest cop-killer in Oakland’s history.

A few days after the shooting, a large group of blacks protested Mixon’s death in downtown Oakland chanting “OPD you can’t hide – we charge you with genocide.” Mixon’s funeral, held the following week, was attended by over 500 mourners.

A Bay Area policeman sent me this pro-Mixon flyer that was recently left on the windshield of a police car in nearby Martinez, CA. It looks like someone wanted to “send a message” (however incoherent) that Mixon’s rampage was “payback” for the fatal New Year’s Day shooting of Oscar Grant by BART police.  Click here to view the flyer.

Many politicians, like Sens. Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and Gov. Schwarznegger, all turned out for the officers’ funeral, and praised them as heroes. President and Mrs. Obama also sent condolences.

However, is it not an insult to the memory of these officers, as well as those who still serve, that not one of them has condemned the hero status this killer is receiving from much of the black community?

The federal immigration court in Boston has allowed Aunt Zeituni Onyango to stay in the country at least until February 4, 2010, which is the date of her next hearing.

This postponement is a convenient, if temporary, victory for both President Obama and his aunt.  Obama risked looking heartless if he allowed his aunt to be deported, and he risked looking soft on immigration enforcement if the courts legalized her.

The danger for Obama is that the ongoing Aunt Zeituni saga illustrates how easily illegal immigrants can postpone deportation through our beleaguered immigration courts.    But I suspect the Republicans will never point that out because they don’t want to risk being called racist.

The Boston Globe reports that President Obama’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango, has left Cleveland and is back in Boston, preparing for her April 1st immigration hearing. According to the Globe, the presiding judge in the case rejects 68% of the asylum requests he hears. The hearing will be closed to the public.

I originally thought that Aunt Zeituni was certain to be granted asylum despite her claim being obviously phony. Now, however, I wonder if Obama may allow his aunt to be deported in order to appear tough on immigration – “throwing his aunt under the bus”, to paraphrase Steve Sailer.

Picture it: In response to every claim that President Obama is lax on immigration enforcement, the Democrats will say “President Obama has a clear record of support for immigration enforcement. He didn’t even intervene when his own aunt was deported…”

Animal cruelty is a part of many immigrant cultures, as Brenda Walker has ably explained. But you never hear that mentioned in the MSM. That is why it’s such a pleasure to see that Monday’s Boston Globe has a lead story on the growing problem of cockfighting rings in Connecticut – and they didn’t bury the immigration dimension either (well, not too much).   The story also contains video.

This is unusual for the Boston Globe, which usually puts out an immigrant sob-story every week, such as the recent “Immigrants with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Face Hurdles.”

I’m still waiting for PETA to make the link between immigration and animal cruelty. But this is a big (if temporary) step toward in immigration honesty for the Boston Globe. Congratulate Globe writer Kevin O’Brien (kobrien@globe.com).

The Boston Globe’s Maria Sacchietti has another inchoate immigrant sob story [Jailed Immigrants Buoy Budgets, February 9, 2009]. This article is also accompanied by a short video clip. The images of razor wire are obviously supposed to illustrate the alleged inhumanity of detaining illegal immigrants.

“In Massachusetts, a majority of detainees are being held for immigration violations, not crimes, and are kept apart from the general jail population.”

Actually, it is a crime to enter the country illegally or to overstay one’s visa. And Sacchietti never tells us how many detainees have committed violent crimes, but it’s safe to assume that the number is high (Hey Maria, that razor wire is there for a reason).

“But advocates for immigrants say the government should dramatically reduce the number of detainees, by releasing them pending deportation. They complain about the burden on taxpayers.”

Has the Globe’s immigration reporter really never heard of the disastrous “Catch & Release” policy? And does anyone seriously believe that immigrant advocates are concerned about the “burden on taxpayers”? [Email Sacchietti ].

Still, the article does inadvertently show that, in a time of tight budgets, it pays to support immigration enforcement. County jails are being compensated $90 a day per immigrant, which often translates into multi-million dollar annual reimbursements. This has enabled many sheriffs to significantly upgrade all of their facilities. Thus, it’s no wonder that immigration enforcement is becoming more popular, even in liberal Massachusetts.

The Boston Globe is owned by the New York Times – which means it is now part-owned by Mexican plutocrat Carlos Slim. So expect their immigration reporting to get even worse.

Despite ignoring a deportation order in 2004, Obama’s Aunt Zeituni has gotten a new immigration hearing in Boston on April 1 — April Fool’s Day. [ Obama aunt gets immigration hearing, By Jessica Fargen, Boston Herald, January 27, 2009]

Zeituni Onyango has left Boston and is now living with relatives in Cleveland. She has also hired a new high-powered immigration attorney, Margaret Wong, whose firm has offices in four states.

As I said in a previous blog, when Obama celebrated his birthday in Boston last August with a glitzy $5 million fundraiser, Aunt Zeituni was not invited, even though she lived just a short cab ride away.

But now that Obama is president, it appears that Zeituni is no longer a liability. Zeituni attended Barack Obama’s Inauguration in Washington, D.C. accompanied by her immigration attorney, including one inaugural ball at the Mayflower Hotel. Perhaps her attorney is taking the case pro bono in order to curry favor with the Obama Administration (Aunt Zeituni is supposed to be destitute, after all).

Last November, candidate Obama told Katie Couric that “If [his aunt] is violating laws, those laws have to be obeyed.” But does anyone seriously think that any immigration judge is going to order her deported now?

So this April Fool’s Day, the joke will be on us as Aunt Zeituni will be well on her way toward gaining permanent residency, if not American citizenship.

Obama has nominated Harvard physicist John Holdren, a firm believer in manmade global warming, to be the Director of the Office of Science & Technology (the President’s new “Science Advisor”). Newsweek’s Sharon Begley recently gushed that Holdren’s appointment represents “an unflinching commitment to evidence-based policy-making.”

Let’s hope so. Because Holdren is on the record for making the environmental case for zero immigration. In 1973, Holdren published a paper that argued that the U.S. population of 210 million was already dangerously too high.

Wouldn’t it be amusing (and effective) if House Republicans would push immigration reform by saying: “According to President Obama’s Science Advisor …”

Apparently, good fences do make good neighbors, especially if you live near President George W. Bush’s new home in exclusive Preston Hollow, Dallas.

The Dallas City Council recently voted to install “access gates, related fencing and structures” in and around President Bush’s new neighborhood. In 1993, President George H.W. Bush, also had gates and fencing installed near his post-presidential home in the tony Tanglewood section of Houston.[Bush wants gate installed on route to new Dallas home , By Rudolph Bush,The Dallas Morning News, January 8, 2009]

Bush has complained that securing the border sends the wrong message, but because of inability to control our borders we have actually been forced to construct mini border fences all over the country.

According to Ed Blakely, author of Fortress America: Gated Communities in the United States, more than seven million American households now exist in gated communities. And it’s no surprise they are most common in parts of the country that have seen the most immigration. This includes 40% of the new homes in California and more than half of the new developments in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Gated Communities are, of course, most common in heterogeneous Latin American countries like Mexico and Brazil, and they are an essential survival requirement for white South Africans. However, you’d be hard pressed to find gated communities in more homogeneous states like Maine or Vermont.

Immigration Enthusiasts like the Bushes and the Kennedys hate border fences, except of course when it comes to their own homes.
