Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter’s opposition to renewing a contract allowing federal immigration authorities full access to city arrest records is infuriating local Tea Party activists and their allies who say the potential move could jeopardize the public safety of residents and visitors to the city.

Supporters of the contract… expressed… “Mayor Nutter’s decision to conceal illegal alien criminals from federal immigration authorities will result in the deaths of innocent Americans,” Peter Gadiel, the president of 9/11 Families for a Secure America, said in a press release. “We who have been the victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens have paid the price for such policies implemented by other politicians who are more interested in the votes of illegals and their supporters than in the safety of American citizens.”

Instead of immigration sweeps at factories and farms which used to lead to illegal workers being shipped out of the country, the administration’s new policy—government conducted audits labeled “silent raids” by employers—usually only result in the workers losing their jobs, the Times said.

This current policy is a contrast to the Bush-era work-site roundups where undocumented employees were deported en masse. It also represents the current government opinion that treating the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants as criminals would overwhelm the system.

Excerpts read:

Raytheon Corp. has reportedly been selected to spearhead the initiative, receiving a $100M USD initial phase surveillance contract.

Internally, there’s been discord over the government’s plans to peer inside private networks. States a Raytheon email leaked to The Wall Street Journal, “The overall purpose of the [program] is our Government…feel[s] that they need to insure the Public Sector is doing all they can to secure Infrastructure critical to our National Security. Perfect Citizen is Big Brother.”

While the NSA had no official comment, unnamed U.S. officials took issue with the claim that they were playing “Big Brother”. They said the program was vital to protecting the nation and no more intrusive to privacy than traffic cams over intersections.

Ultimately it may be too early to judge the merits of “Perfect Citizen”, but as the program is fleshed out, it seems likely to provoke a lively debate about the government, privacy, and intervention in the private sector.

Thursday the Obama White House quietly took the first step in eliminating the first amendment by suspending freedom of speech and freedom of the press for the first time since Abraham Lincoln. News cameras are now required to remain over 65 feet away from anything that is a result of the Gulf Oil Spill. Immediate detainment, severe jail times and heavy fines will now be imposed in the name of “Not Hindering Cleanup”.

In the past people in Obama’s administration have made statements on the record that they will subvert the constitution and all they need to do is to have a foot in the door. Well wake up, entry has been accomplished, now the invasion and subversion of our rights begins. Communist Russia and Nazi Germany, and Red China come to mind. First the press, then speech, finally enslavement…

Here a two articles that go into depth, the first on the details of the this new executive order and the second on the evidence of Obama’s secret plan to completely repeal the first amendment:

What if it were Mexico?

What would the legal residents of Mexico say if: I and 50 million American citizens, decided to cross the Mexican border, without documentation, and take up residence in housing that is supposed to be for Mexican citizens, their families, and legal foreign workers & diplomats. We would then obtain a real Mexican’s National Identity Card number and use it to then take jobs that Mexican families or other legal foreign workers need to make living. We would then use it to apply for social benefits, get doctors appointments (and I have a friend who answers the phone and knows that they call her regularly to find doctors but have no understanding of our American medical system or way of life, and speak almost no English with a Mexican accent), get free health care from hospitals, obtain (allegedly) legal drivers licenses & car insurance and a plethora of other services.

To make things even worse we would get Mexican food assistance and other free services because we claim to be poor (but really we have sent all of our money to our families in America), via an illegal money laundering service to bypass identification by the Mexican & American authorities, Mexican & American banking regulations, Mexican & American laws, and the majority of Mexican & American taxes. The only money we may pay toward taxes are Mexican sales & payroll taxes (which may not be paid if I have a stolen Mexican National Identity Card number and the real owner would then be forced to pay those taxes if I told my employer not take any deductions).

Again this is a fictitious comparison, based on real events that occur daily in the United States of America. I believe that, if this were happening there, Mexico’s “legal” residents would be up in arms if we attempted this. So why are there so many here, that accuse us of being racist and opposed to immigration when the tables are turned?

How about if we just fired all of the border agents and the airport security agents and just put a sign up that says free lunch? Would they be happy then?

As I stated earlier: “It’s about the Border Stupid!“

I am so tired all you media elites; telling people, in your propaganda pieces, that this issue in Arizona and Texas is an immigration issue. This is far from the truth!!! It is a “Border Control” issue and has absolutely NOTHING to do with legal immigration!!!

Criminals break in through the windows but Friends & People that are “Invited In”, come through the front door!

I and most others, want people like my parents, to go through the legal process; and We Welcome Them After They Do!!! They and many, many others, who had to take the long road and cost, ALL want others do the same , or what they went through- was all for nothing.

Legal citizenship (even at birth) and Green Cards are a privilege that is totally without meaning in this trample down the gates mentality.

How would you like it if I could legally come in you house, take a room, eat out of your refrigerator and bath in your shower with only a simply promise that I will wash my own dishes and my own clothes in you sink and washing machine??? Oh, and I might walk your dog to show that I am a good person!

You tell me where I am wrong and I will then tell you that there is no longer a sovereign United States of America, but in it’s place, we have become the halfway house of the world!!!

If you don’t stop dictating to people the party line, then I will have to speak against your public license in the community interest, because you are no long an objective news reporting station but rather are force feeding your opinions on us, with NO balance or unbiased presentation of the facts.

I have been long time News8 viewer, but I will be damned rather than be that I am against immigration by people that I used to trust for news, not opinion, during a “newscast”!!! Everyone is now doing it, 8, 4, 5, 11, 21, 33 and I simply won’t stand for it!!!

You, as the station manager, should no better. Shame!!! Shame!!! Shame!!! But if you don’t watch your own newscasts them you should be fired.
