Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

August 13, 2015

Lars:

It has been an interesting second full week in the month of August when it comes to criminal aliens here in the Pacific Northwest part of the United States of America.

This week we put another face to alien crime for your radio listeners — criminal aliens who are incarcerated at a local Oregon county regional correctional facility.

Currently there are 10 Foreign Nationals (criminal aliens) incarcerated at Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities (NORCOR) in The Dalles, Oregon for various crimes who have Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Holds placed on them by ICE agents monitoring the jail population.

2. Cervantes Tapia, Froylan
3. Chaires Barrios, Jose Guadalupe
4. Dejesus Orozco, Guadalupe
5. Gonzalez, Liuber William
6. Guillen Hernandez, Juan Carlos
7. Jaramillo Zaragoza, Victor Manuel
8. Manzo Espinoza, Edgar Eduardo
9. Soto Sandoval, Jose Alfredo
10. Valencia-Mata, Simon

Of the 106 inmates incarcerated at NORCOR, the 10 criminal aliens make up 9.43 percent of the jail population.

An interesting fact, NORCOR is one of only four county correctional facilities or jails in the state that indicate on a public accessible website whether or not an immigration hold has been placed on a prisoner.

NORCOR incarcerates prisoners for Wasco, Hood River, Gilliam and Sherman counties.

Some fast facts:

On July 1, 2015 the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) prison system incarcerated 992 criminal aliens (prisoners with immigration detainers); the four counties that use NORCOR have the following number of criminal aliens in the DOC prison system:

3 – Wasco;
4 – Hood River;
1 – Gilliam;
0 – Sherman.

Lars, the second full week of August and another criminal alien report for Lars Larson Show FM 101.1 radio listeners.

Trump may have something on immigration

Trump may have something on immigration

David Olen Cross 4 p.m. MDT August 5, 2015

Donald Trump, a resident of the state of New York, billionaire real-estate developer and current Republican candidate for president of the United States, made campaign kickoff remarks about illegal immigrants from Mexico.

This deserves some serious examination.

“The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.

They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. . . .“They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists,” he said, adding, “And some, I assume, are good people.” – Donald Trump

Why would Trump, a man who was born in Queens, N.Y., who surely visited in his 69 years Liberty Island, home of the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island, America’s East Coast immigration processing center of the late 19th to mid 20th century, make such remarks about illegal immigrants from Mexico?

I can’t claim to know the heart of Trump, but I will speculate on Trump’s views on illegal immigrants.

Liberty and Ellis islands are on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places; they are and were symbolically the lighthouse of liberty beckoning and the entry port of legal immigration to America, particularly to a person like Trump who was raised in Queens, a borough of New York City. Queens is close enough for a man interested in the history of immigration to this country to make a short trip southwest down Long Island to Brooklyn and look west across Upper New York Bay at the iconic sites.

He most likely has taken the ferry ride to the Statue of Liberty and while touring the statue site he must have read the bronze plaque cast with 1883 sonnet written by Emma Lazarus, titled “The New Colossus.” Here is an often quoted passage from the sonnet:

“ ‘Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!’ cries she

With silent lips. ‘Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!’ ”

Trump, after reading Lazarus’ “The New Colossus,” would know as a student of circumstantial current and past immigration history that immigrants entering Upper New York Bay by boat is the legitimate gateway to America, while 5.9 million illegal Mexican immigrants sneaking across the country’s southern border with Mexico violate federal law and invade the nation’s sovereignty.

Trump, in preparation for his candidacy for president of the United States, very likely knows that the U.S Bureau of Prisons holds 33,108 Mexican nationals; they are 15.9 percent of the federal government’s prison inmates.

Furthermore, Trump is also likely aware that there are 18,307 federal prisoners incarcerated for immigration crimes, 9.3 percent of the federal prison population.

Recently, Trump met with families of victims of illegal immigrant crime in California; Trump knows the life-changing impact on families who have lost their loved ones killed by illegal immigrants from Mexico.

American’s should thank Donald Trump for speaking so frankly on the topic of illegal immigration and for making it one of the top campaign issues in the 2016 presidential election campaign.
