Wait. They Keep Saying This Is Our Fault. September 18, 2007

So why send a murderous Mexican drug lord to American prison for life? After all, Mexican politicians and some of our open-borders lobby keep saying that the only reason Mexican drug cartels flourish is due to the high demand north of the border.
Furthermore, if they’re going to punish him to squelch the cartels, why did they agree to a plea deal that could, in theory, give Mr. Arellano-Felix a chance to run his business from inside the joint?
Sarkozy Makes Good On Promise September 18, 2007
Posted by Webmaster in France, Immigration.comments closed
Last year, France’s famously open doors began closing on individual immigrants. This week, France starts making it harder to bring families and spouses to a country where joblessness and welfare are seen as draining the treasury and creating reservoirs of ill feeling, particularly among the middle class.
In a new measure expected to pass the French Assembly in 15 days or less, new family arrivals must speak French. Immigrant parents must guarantee their kids will behave. And breadwinners must show earnings of up to 1,600 euros a month.
When then-Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy pushed tough limits on immigrants last year, the left called it an attack on France’s African and Arab populations. In a country roiled by changing complexion and identity, and on the eve of national elections, Mr. Sarkozy’s new “contract” set a high bar: Know the French language, embrace civic values, and show means of support.
Some 600 pro-immigrant groups hit Paris streets, protesting how quickly Europe and France were closing to the foreign-born and how aggressive the measures seemed to be. But the law passed.
Now, President Sarkozy has again upped the stakes. Not only will incoming families face a higher hurdle, but an amendment quietly introduced DNA testing as a way to prove biological ties among them. In addition, French embassies abroad will be newly empowered to conduct extensive background checks of prospective residents.
In other words, France just might remain French for a little longer than it otherwise would have, becoming a majority non-white country.

That is how the Post-Dispatch described the driver of a Ford Expedition that crashed into a Clayton restaurant, the accident pinned an elderly couple underneath the vehicle. KMOX radio describes him as “Hispanic.” More details surely coming soon…
UPDATE 5:35 PM: KTVI confirms, 23-year old illegal alien. Video from the accident shows that the white Expedition had “Lopez” in Old English script across the top blackened few inches of the front windshield. He is facing three traffic charges, plus his immigration concerns.
UPDATE 5:50 PM: KMOV has images of the suspect, a close-up of the SUV windshield I referenced above, and the scene at large.
UPDATE 9/19: Post-Dispatch identifies the suspect as 23-year old Sergio Lopez (making sense of the windshield script on his SUV), who lives in Collinsville (probably farm labor), is an illegal alien, and did not have a valid drivers’ license from any American state.

An update and an addition to the Poetic Justice section at the St. Louis CofCC Static Webpage:
1. Rachel Corrie’s family tried to sue Caterpillar, who made the bulldozer that ran her over and killed here. The Ninth Circuit Federal Courts of Appeals turned them down, citing judicial restraint (!!), and stating that for any court to hear this case would be for them to give themselves unconstitutional supervision over foreign policy.
2. Jacque Gorman narrative added. She is a retired teacher from Providence, R.I., who “fulfilled a lifelong dream” and “was in her glory” by traveling to Africa to teach children. Jungle diseases were probably not part of the “dream” and the “glory,” and the medical expenses have bled her family dry (and they can’t even afford to bring her home), so they’re running around Providence with their hands out.
