Frederick County Sheriff's Office has had 26 of their officers trained under the DHS 287g program.  Congrats to them on this training.  The sheriff believes in protecting legal citizens and upholding the law by arresting illegal immigrants who have broken our laws.

Why should CASA of Maryland sue the Frederick County Sheriff over his office receiving 287g training?  Why won't CASA release their records on the local companies that use the Day Labor Centers for employees or release the names of all of the illegals they serve?

We fully support the sheriff in his efforts to protect the citizens of Frederick County.  Recently, there have been a rash of murders, house and car break-ins, and criminal activities from illegal immigrants in Montgomery County, Prince Georges County and DC.  What will it take for local law enforcement agencies to protect its citizens and have these police agencies under take the 287g training?  Elections do mean something and the election of so many liberal Democrats has created a "safe haven" for illegals in our area.

Since CASA is so concerned about racial profiling and protecting the public---I am demanding that CASA open their records.  The Maryland government, Montgomery County officials, and CASA try to hide behind each other while protecting their turf of shielding illegal immigrants.  It is time for the public to demand that our elected officials stop funding CASA and start arresting any illegal immigrant in our communities.

Why is President-Elect Obama selecting Senator Hillary Clinton for Secretary of the Department of State?  Doesn't she have more power and a longer political career as a US Senator form New York?  She safely has this senate seat as long as she wants it and can spend the rest of of her life as a US Senator.

What would motivate her to switch her "safe seat" and political career to a position where she serves at the pleasure of the President and can be fired at any time for any reason?  Is she just tired of living in NY and of being in the senate?  I do not think so.

Hillary Clinton has her political sights on a higher office and sees the opportunity to create a bond with Obama for the near term.  Yes, that means that she wants to be the future Presidential candidate for the Democrat Party. 

The strategy is that she will serve as Secretary of State for four years.  Vice President Biden will only serve for four years and be given the boot.  She will then run with President Obama in four years.  Then after being Vice President for four years, she will then run for President in eight years.  This is the plan.

If President-Elect Obama has a good four years, then Hillary thinks that she will have the best chance to become President by being his Vice President.  This combination in four years will be hard to beat if the Democrats do well over the next four years.  However, this will be a real challenge due to the fact that Obama and the current Congress are very liberal and will try to implement their liberal agenda.

Hillary Clinton is making a strategic move to become President in eight years.

Below is a good article detailing how Congress and Ex-President Bill Clinton started the financial mess that we are now experiencing due to the CRA,Freddie, and Fannie.

Two months ago, I noted how a September 1999 article in the Los Angeles Times praising the Clinton administration’s enforcement efforts of the Community Reinvestment Act inadvertently showed how they created the housing bubble by praising all of the excesses of the White House and Congress.  King Banaian pointed out a City Journal article from the following year that took a much-less complimentary look at the CRA and government use of it — and predicted almost exactly what would follow eight years later.  In fact, it also predicted the scope of the collapse:

The Clinton administration has turned the Community Reinvestment Act, a once-obscure and lightly enforced banking regulation law, into one of the most powerful mandates shaping American cities—and, as Senate Banking Committee chairman Phil Gramm memorably put it, a vast extortion scheme against the nation’s banks. Under its provisions, U.S. banks have committed nearly $1 trillion for inner-city and low-income mortgages and real estate development projects, most of it funneled through a nationwide network of left-wing community groups, intent, in some cases, on teaching their low-income clients that the financial system is their enemy and, implicitly, that government, rather than their own striving, is the key to their well-being.

The auto bailout by the Democrats is a “pay-back” for the unions.  For example, GM has 150,000 workers supporting 650,000 retirees.  This is the same problem with the Social Security System—too few supporting too many.

Half of the $50 billion the auto industry wants is for health care for its current and retired employees.  The cost of health care and retired benefits, along with increased union wages account for $1,600 per vehicle.  This cost has to be passed on to the consumer. 

Reading the October 31, Gazette article entitled, “Critics decry immigrant detention” has left me stunned that an elected official in Maryland would pressure Montgomery County Police Chief Tom Manger not to do his job and enforce the law.  Then again I am not surprised, since that official is Del. Ana Sol Gutierrez (D-Dist. 18) of Chevy Chase.  Gutierrez has a long record of supporting illegal immigrants and “open borders”, despite her own legal entry into the United States from her native El Salvador many years ago. 

We need a clear message to illegal immigrants—we find you, we detain you, you get charged with a crime and then you are deported.
