KC MO. Police Department (It's Your Money)

This is the third of a four parter describing the Kansas City Missouri Police Department's policy on illegal aliens drifting into the metro area.

The above link will take you to a story by the Associated Press published in July. The curious thing about the information provided by the AP, no one seemed to care that KCPD might be violating Missouri's new statues regarding illegal immigrants. If you are a Kansas City Missouri tax payer you might be curious where your tax dollars are going.

Is Kansas City Missouri a Sanctuary City?

You be the judge!

Christmas Eve after the pigs had been slaughtered and prepared even the chief of police, Jim Corwin, Kansas City Missouri Police Department had departed, satisfied by a plate of tortillas, fire-roasted pork and a shrimp cocktail soup prepared by a man who was originally from the coastal Mexican city of Veracruz.

The guests of honor — day laborers who either live in or were simply passing through Kansas City — had settled around tables to listen to one man play his guitar. They sang along when they felt moved.

“By the time the Christmas Eve fiesta wound down, three pigs had been butchered the heads and feet set aside for a New Year's delicacy to be prepared later.”

The guests of honor — day laborers who either live in or were simply passing through Kansas City — had settled around tables to listen to one man play his guitar. They sang along when they felt moved.
And in those moments, the Christmas story was retold.
“The narrators were the two officers assigned to the center, a small office run by the Kansas City Police Department. It is a vestige from when locating police within communities was first embraced.”
Officer Matthew Tomasic, front, and Officer Chato Villalobos of the Kansas City Police Department work out of an office in a community center in Kansas City.

Police in Kansas City are leaving the citizenship busts to federal agents and focusing instead on community policing efforts in the city's growing Hispanic communities.

Tomorrow it came that a very special guest attended the Christmas Eve dinner?

On Wednesday, the Westside CAN Center was the site of a Christmas Eve fiesta for day laborers. Nicolas Orgunio (from left), his brother Carlos Orgunio, Joel Godinez and Rueben Dominguez said grace before eating dinner.

By the time the Christmas Eve fiesta wound down, three pigs had been butchered, the heads and feet set aside for a New Year's delicacy to be prepared later.

And on December 26, 2008, business as usual. In case you are wondering, this is not Los Angles, it's at 2136 Jefferson, Kansas City Missouri.

More tomorrow.

Lawmaker pledges to fight voucher attempt
The Associated Press

Lawmaker pledges to fight voucher attempt. A former Springfield educator now serving in the Missouri House says she'll fight any attempt by the GOP-controlled legislature to set up a school vouchers program.
Democrat Sara Lampe of Springfield says she won't let her minority party status get in the way of seeking more money for various education initiatives, or working against a vouchers push. She has already pre-filed 11 bills for the 2009 legislative session, which begins Jan. 7.
Lampe, who once ran programs at the Phelps Center for the Gifted, said she'll seek more funding for gifted students and children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
Lampe's top priorities include passing a law mandating gifted and talented education be offered at all Missouri schools, recognizing autism as a disability and giving state employees a pay raise using the federal Consumer Price Index.

Don't let the 'Passion' words suck you in; "gifted, autism" and my personal favorite "education initiatives", just words that mean, don't look at our history with the education of your children just keep paying us for showing up with no accountabilty to the parents.

The Medal of Honor

By C.W. GUSEWELLE

The Kansas City Star

December 25, 2008

Maximum capacity of the small plane was six, but on this flight there were only three aboard besides the pilot. One of them, a colonel, was on the division headquarters staff. Another was an old master sergeant, a veteran of two of the unit's four World War II parachute jumps.
The third, a lieutenant like the young pilot, was an infantryman, qualified by rank and training to lead a platoon. But before military service he'd spent a year as a beginning journalist, so it would be his duty to write a report on their uncommon mission.

The turbulence was worse now. Lightning snaked through the tumult outside the blurred windows.
"How much longer?" the colonel called out to the pilot in a thin voice.
And at exactly that instant the whole interior of the plane filled with a sudden blinding brilliance. It was only for the space of a heartbeat. Afterward, the growl of the engine was unchanged. There was no sense of sudden falling.

We've got a problem. That lightning hit took out some instruments. We've lost the altimeter and the artificial horizon."

Group sues to block use of E-Verify to screen out illegal workers

By DIANE STAFFORD

The Kansas City Star

Several national organizations representing employers sued Tuesday to stop a mandate that federal contractors by Jan. 15 begin using an Internet system designed to verify employment.
E-Verify — primarily a check to screen out illegal workers — is “far from ready” to be used, said Mike Aitken, director of government affairs at the Society for Human Resource Management. The society, joined by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Associated Builders and Contractors Inc., the American Council on International Personnel, and the HR Policy Association, sued Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and U.S. government entities in U.S. District Court in Maryland.

ALBANY, N.Y. - A wood pallet recycling company caught in a national crackdown on hiring illegal immigrants has agreed to pay almost $21 million to settle charges lodged by federal prosecutors in upstate New York.
Several senior managers of IFCO Systems North America had previously pleaded guilty to misdemeanor and felony immigration charges since authorities conducted a 26-state roundup of nearly 1,200 foreign workers two years ago.

Now prosecutors say they'll drop charges against the company as part of the settlement announced Friday, which includes IFCO taking responsibility for the illegal hiring.
"The agreement severely punishes IFCO for its serious immigration and employment violations, but it also allows the corporation to continue its operations, so that its lawful employees and innocent shareholders do not suffer the consequences of a business failure in this difficult economy," said Andrew Baxter, acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York.
The government's settlement with IFCO is the largest ever with a corporation charged with employing illegal immigrants, almost doubling the $11 million Wal-Mart agreed to pay in 2005 to settle allegations it used hundreds of illegal immigrants to clean its stores, said John Torres, acting Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

One Plus One Equals 20 Extra Votes For Franken
by Ann Coulter
12/17/2008
It's bad enough that the Republican Party can't prevent Democrats from voting in its primaries and saddling us with The New York Times' favorite Republican as our presidential nominee. If the Republican Party can't protect an election won by the incumbent U.S. senator in Minnesota, there is no point in donating to the Republican Party.
The day after the November election, Republican Sen. Norm Coleman had won his re-election to the U.S. Senate, beating challenger Al Franken by 725 votes.
Then one heavily Democratic town miraculously discovered 100 missing ballots. And, in another marvel, they were all for Al Franken! It was like a completely evil version of a Christmas miracle.
As strange as it was that all 100 post-election, "discovered" ballots would be for one candidate, it was even stranger that the official time stamp for the miracle ballots printed out by the voting machine on the miracle ballots showed that the votes had been cast on Nov. 2 -- two days before the election.

Southwest Border Fence Hits 500-Mile Mark

The Associated Press

The government has completed 500 miles of fencing along the Southwest border, 170 miles short of its goal. At this pace, the administration expects to have at least 600 miles complete by Jan. 20, when Barack Obama takes over as president, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said earlier this month. The president-elect said last week that he wants to evaluate what's working on the border as he considers whether to continue building the 670 miles of fencing. But by Chertoff's estimation, there will not be much left to build.

Interior Announces Final Firearms Policy Update
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Lyle Laverty today announced that the Department of the Interior has finalized updated regulations governing the possession of firearms in national parks and wildlife refuges. The final rule, which updates existing regulations, would allow an individual to carry a concealed weapon in national parks and wildlife refuges if, and only if, the individual is authorized to carry a concealed weapon under state law in the state in which the national park or refuge is located. The update has been submitted to the Federal Register for publication. Existing regulations regarding the carrying of firearms remain otherwise unchanged, particularly limitations on poaching and target practice and prohibitions on carrying firearms in federal buildings.

America's in trouble, and immigrants are part of the solution

By MARY SANCHEZ

The Kansas City Star

Among the more promising candidates nominated Monday for President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet was Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, who was named for secretary of Homeland Security. She was a good choice, not only for her wisdom as a border state leader but also because she seems to get that an educated work force is the key to economic strength.

(snip)

Let's leave aside for the moment the passionate feelings about immigrants who are among us illegally and consider some facts outlined in a new report by the Migration Policy Institute.

This is must read for anyone still undecided on our flood of illegal aliens and how Mary Sanchez can slide in and out of the legal vs illegal immigrant question with hardly a hint that there is a diffrence between the two.
