OPINION: THE IMMIGRATION HUNT IN ARIZONA FIRES UP! SB 1070

As broken as the immigration system is in the U.S., it angers me that the president who promised to do something about this issue, has not done anything. I feel like immigrants are being hunted for, like wild animals. The state of Arizona has just passed a new law, Senate bill 1070, which gives police officers the right to stop and question anyone who they have the "reasonable suspicion" is in the country illegally. Three other states currently await the proposal of similar laws: Oklahoma, Georgia, and Virginia. It requires that all government employees (teachers, doctors, etc.) turn in people who may be suspects of being immigrants. Anyone who hires an immigrant, or protects one, are subject to the breaking of the law. I am furious by such laws and I find an injustice that the government has the right to racially profile people. so that means that all people who are brown, look Mexican, and like ALIENS, need to watch out because the police is coming after you. It is upsetting to speak with such sarcasm, but that is the status of the country and immigration.

Immigration Conspiracy Hits Virginia



Today Friday, September 18, 2009, an Immigration conspiracy has hit the State of Virginia. A 30 year old woman by the name of Beth Ann Broyles of Evanston, Illinois pledged guilty due to “ conspiracy, visa fraud, tax evasion” and the bringing of “ALIENS” to come work in the U.S., with H2B Visas [abut 1,000 “ALIENS” brought from Europe and Jamaica]. Her recent sentence has been 87 months of prison.

Broyles is an immigration attorney from Chicago and an immigration counsel for the “Viktar Krus Organization in Virginia Beach.” The corruption of the Krus organization generated $35 million gross income in a 6 year span, form 2003-2009. The Krus foundation had been under watch since August 2007 by numerous task forces such as ICE and the United States Dept. of Labor.

Broyles’s sentencing will take place on December 14, with a projected five year imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, “full restitution, a special assessment, and three years of supervised release.”
