POPSEmployer Arrested after Illegal Immigrant Murders a Police Officer They're required to say that Quintero "allegedly" shot the officer, but there's no question...he was handcuffed and locked in the back seat where he pulled out a pistol and shot him in the head 4 times. Robert Rutt, ICE Special Agent in charge of Houston: ''They are economic migrants, and if you take away their ability to get employment, the immigration problem will solve itself for the most part," he said. ''Our biggest weakness is not the porous border, but employers hiring illegal aliens." Worksite arrests by ICE agents have risen dramatically, according to agency statistics, which show criminal arrests — mostly company managers and contractors — jumped from 176 in fiscal 2005 to 863 in fiscal 2007. And administrative arrests of undocumented workers in worksite raids have increased from 1,116 in fiscal 2005 to 4,077 in fiscal 2007.

POPSCouple Pleads Deportation Order ""The only possible means for them to qualify for this relief (from deportation) was through a means expressly prohibited by the Catholic Church," Robles said." I'm no theologian (nor even religious), but what about Christians obeying the laws of the land?

POPSIllegal Immigration Crimes on the Rise in Houston " ICE officials could not say if they would review the immigration status of anyone within the Gonzalez family. In addition to the family member that Gonzalez's mother paid to have brought to the United States, the 14-year-old kidnapping victim is himself an illegal immigrant."

POPSGalveston Hospital Considers Denying Healthcare to Illegals "Painful cost-cutting measures included 381 layoffs last year, which shattered morale at the island campus and may have driven off some highly regarded staff and faculty members." This move hit particularly close to home. A solution isn't very clearcut either. I have compassion, but there's got to be limits at some point. There's only so much UTMB can do. This problem is bigger than them. Hell...it's bigger than Texas!

POPSMigrant Air Serves Border Crossers " Return flights south are often nearly empty, and some routes offer only one-way service. One of the airlines, Tijuana-based Avolar, estimates that 70% of its customers have the USA as their final destination." I saved the best lines for last. It's almost funny.

POPSSupreme Court to Decide Presidential Power There's a lot going on here, and the clip prolly doesn't do it justice. To name a few: state vs. federal, executive vs judiciary, presidential powers, foreign policy, due process and ultimately justice. I can't say I know what the answer is either, just that I feel for the parents of those girls who are living this brutal event repeatedly in court.

POPSIllegals deporting themselves One of the counters by the amnesty crowd is always "how are you going to deport the millions who are here illegally?" My answer has always been that you won't have to deport them because they will deport themselves. If they come here for the jobs and the jobs go away, then so will they. I think the US as a whole needs to follow Arizona's example and then create a more robust guest worker program that will allow for workers from other countries to come here legally to work. But under no circumstances should we reward criminal behavior with US citizenship.
