Illegal Alien Saboteurs from the Global Commie Unionist Corporate Criminal Regimes ;

In an unexpected but welcome victory for
immigration enforcement, a notoriously liberal
federal appellate court has ruled that a southern
California city can enforce a law that allows police
to arrest illegal alien day laborers who solicit work
on public streets.

The surprise ruling, issued this week by the
San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals, comes amid legal defeats to a number
of local ordinances enacted to help curb a
nationwide crisis caused by illegal immigration.

In this case, the Los Angeles County city
of Redondo Beach initially suffered a legal defeat.

In 2006 a federal judge ruled that the city's ban
on day laborer solicitations violates the First
Amendment free speech rights of illegal immigrants
and targets a certain group.

The measure was actually passed more than two
decades ago but the city didn't begin enforcing it
until 2004 and an immigration advocacy group filed
a lawsuit after police arrested numerous violators.

Judicial Watch filed an amicus curiae brief
with the federal appellate court in support of the city.

In its decision, a divided 9th Circuit panel consisting
of three judges said that Redondo Beach's ordinance
is a reasonable response to traffic problems that officials
say day laborers soliciting work are causing at two
city intersections.

Furthermore, the ruling says that Redondo Beach's
law is constitutional because the activities it aims to
restrict are broad and it specifically addresses
safety concerns.

In a dissenting opinion, Judge Kim Wardlaw
maintains that the measure violates day laborers'
free speech rights because its "overbroad and thus
violates well-established principles of our First
Amendment jurisprudence." Laws in other parts
other country designed to ban day laborers have
faced similar scrutiny from different courts

In a baffling development, a major U.S. county is
allowing Mexico's government to operate a satellite
consular office to offer the area's illegal immigrants
identification cards that will facilitate life in the
United States.

Mexican officials kindly asked the Homeland
Security agency charged with immigration enforcement
not to enforce the law in the area while the cards-
known as Matricula Consular-are being issued .

One U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) official claimed to be amazed that the "Mexican
government has the gall to tell us what to do."

Even more amazing is that the federal agency is
obliging and that officials in the nation's most populous
county-Los Angeles-are even allowing it to happen.

The Mexican consular office is operating on Santa
Catalina Island, a small resort community located
about 22 miles off the Southern California coast
with a population of about 3,000.

The majority of the residents on the L.A. County
island are illegal immigrants from Mexico.

The Mexican consul's office first offered the photo
identification cards to illegal immigrant workers on
the island two years ago.

Incredibly, the easily forged Mexican Matricula cards
are widely accepted as ID in the U.S. and can be used
to apply for government services, establish credit and
open bank accounts.

They have also been accepted to fraudulently obtain
home loans from some of the nation's top lenders.

A few weeks ago, the Mexican consular office in
Los Angeles issued a flier advertising this week's
effort to issue Matricula cards to as many illegal
immigrants as possible.

The event was originally scheduled for the Catalina
Island Country Club, but was later moved to a nearby
church because a Republican congressman who
represents the area warned that State Department
permission is required to host a foreign government.

Churches are supposedly exempt
under the the Vienna Convention
