SUMMERDALE, Ala. (AP) — Authorities arrested five suspected illegal immigrants at a school construction site in Summerdale during an investigation into comments allegedly made by the workers to students.

Police received several complaints Friday that workers were "talking about the girls when they changed classes," said Summerdale Police Chief Dwain Riebeling.

He said the men were apparently commenting about the girls’ looks.

Riebeling did not have names or additional details about the five men arrested on immigration charges, other than to say all were Hispanic.

You would think that the school would to a better job at checking out people.
I wonder if they have ever heard of background checks?

Feds helping police nab more migrants

Federal immigration officials are now responding every time a Valley police officer calls for assistance, resulting in the arrests of more than 6,000 undocumented immigrants over the past 12 months, twice as many as the year before.

The increased response marks a dramatic shift from just a few years ago. Local police departments frequently complained Immigration and Customs Enforcement didn’t come or took too long when officers encountered suspected undocumented immigrants in drophouses or smuggling vehicles.

That is a common occurrence in Phoenix, a major hub for transporting illegal immigrants from the Mexican border into the U.S., and Valley police officers were frequently forced to let illegal immigrants go free.

Lou Dobbs' commentary appears weekly on CNN.com.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Mexican President Felipe Calderon Sunday demanded the United States surrender its sovereignty, abandon the rule of law and accede to Mexico's inherent supremacy.

Calderon established his imperialistic imperatives: "I have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico.

Calderon protested the U.S. government's increased raids on illegal employers of illegal alien employees and work site enforcement. I

Dobbs: Time to free Ramos and Compean

The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, led by Dianne Feinstein, focused on the reasons for the prosecution of two Border Patrol agents now serving long sentences in federal prison. Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean were given terms of 11 and 12 years respectively on their convictions for shooting an illegal alien drug smuggler.

Senator Feinstein, and Senators Jeff Sessions, John Cornyn, Jon Kyl and Tom Coburn demanded answers of U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, who chose to prosecute Compean and Ramos and give that illegal alien drug smuggler blanket immunity to testify against the men.

Sutton's decision to prosecute the agents, to file attempted murder charges against them and seek harsh mandatory prison sentences was simply an outrage.

Senators Feinstein, Sessions and Cornyn took Sutton to task over what they clearly see now as a blatant abuse of prosecutorial power and strongly questioned the decision to give immunity to a known illegal alien drug smuggler.

Sutton's office gave the smuggler immunity in order to prosecute the two agents who had pursued him in a high-speed chase, which ultimately resulted in the wounding of the drug dealer who had ditched his van, loaded with hundreds of pounds of drugs, and ran from the agents.

The agents were serving their nation in a war zone along our southern border. The fact is Mexico remains the primary corridor for drugs entering the United States.

Mexico is the principal source of heroin, cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamines into this country.
Between 70 and 90 percent of cocaine entering the United States from South America passed through mainland Mexico or its waters.

Heroin brought in from Mexico accounts for about 30 percent of the U.S. market, despite Mexico's relatively small percentage of worldwide production.

Mexican traffickers continued to dominate drug distribution in the United States, controlling most of the primary distribution centers.
Our border with Mexico is the main battlefield in the war against drugs, and the federal government has treated Ramos and Compean with contempt rather than gratitude for their service on the front lines of that war.

I saw a parade this morning on TV. The hosts spoke only Spanish so I watched
for a while trying to discern where it was taking place. I heard the words
"Los Angeles, California" so I assume that was the location. There were
thousands of Mexican flags but no stars and stripes anywhere. One question
emerges, why are these people here? Then the answer became appearant, for
the freebies. They evidentally love their homeland, nothing wrong with that,
but you don't get freebies in Mexico. They are not here for the
"opportunities" as were other immigrants, but for all the free stuff
Americans in their misguided zeal will supply.
