We've been getting some shut Eye for the last few weeks and had planned to continue our August respite for the rest of the week, but we just couldn't believe our Eye when we read that the Almighty Marty and Chief Ray Schultz have made Albuquerque a sanctuary city. According to The Journal (Subscription), KOB-TV, and KRQE-TV, APD officers "shall not inquire about or seek proof of a person's immigration status."
The change in SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) stems from an incident (ABQ Journal - Subscription) where three Del Norte High School students were detained for presenting identification that was suspected to be false - the act itself is a fourth degree felony. The three were turned over to immigration authorities and eventually deported. Not surprisingly the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund filed suit claiming that the students' constitutional rights had been violated (ABQ Journal - Subscription).
We don't understand exactly what kind of insanity makes a group like MALDEF believe that illegals of any ethnicity have a right to a free education provided by the taxpayers of Albuquerque and the State of New Mexico. We've got enough problems providing a quality education to students that are in this country legally without taking on the additional burden of providing it to those who have already shown their contempt for our laws and our sovereignty.
This idiotic move to settle a case that should have been fought to the bitter end by our illustrious city attorney puts an even greater burden on officers who already have to deal with the problem of illegal activity by illegal immigrants.
Another idiotic move - this time by the state - granted illegals driver's licenses. Since the bearers are ILLEGAL they don't have social security numbers. All of the driving records are tied directly to a person's social security number so when running an illegal's state issued drivers license the information that comes up is... well, nothing. That means the driver in question could be speeding for the first time or the fiftieth, they could be driving under the influence for the first time or the fourteenth, the officer will never know until the offender kills someone.
Look, we're not advocating that APD enforce immigration law. However, it makes little sense to actively prohibit officers from contacting ICE when they suspect someone of being in the country illegally.
The tired argument that somehow turning suspected illegals over to immigration officials is some form of racial profiling is simply ridiculous, as three unfortunate Newark college students found out last week. Jose Carranza, aka Jose La Chira had previously been charged with raping a 5-year-old. Mr. Carranza should never have been allowed to have the opportunity to commit another crime, but Newark is a "sanctuary city" and so he remained giving him the opportunity to allegedly kill three innocent people.
How long is it before this reckless policy leads to the death of someone here in Albuquerque? It's not racist for us to expect that anyone coming to this country do so legally and it's common sense to give our police officers every weapon in their struggle to keep our streets safe. When someone dies because APD is prohibited from contacting immigration to deport an illegal, there will be only one person to blame... Martin Chavez.

I love it! Another nail in his Political life. Laters SHIT BAG MARTY. You will get over it.
This is the ultimate slap in the face to our APD offices. This alone should be the very reason why Chief Schultz, Martin Chavez and this third world governor should be impeached, recalled, removed from office and run out of town and out of state on a F _ _ king rail.
The citizens should demand that this should stop immediately and put and end to this third world mentality once and for all. This is America damn it, not Mexico, Peru or some other social piss hole. No wonder the captains of industry don't want to set up shop and move their employees and their families here.
Get rid of these corrupt and inept politicians once and for all.
WAKE THE F - -K UP ALBUQUERQUE.

YOU BOTH ARE SORRY !
You'll get over it...
This is crazy. You know damn well that if you crossed the border over to any country in this world you wouldn't get issued a driver's license or given the freedom to travel throughout that country if you were there illegally. Much less have the ability to apply for a whole slew of social service programs that many americans can't even obtain and do it while waving a flag around from their home country. What a joke this country, state, and city have become! How many more terrorists, drug dealers, child molesters, and killers will we allow to roam freely around and not question where they come from or their ask them to state their business because it isn't potically correct? Give me a f--king break!
The Chief's Office constantly lies about issues within. They lie to the public everytime they make a statement. Especially the red light stats, the number of officers on the dept and the streets.
If you look back, they LIE about everything that's why morale is so bad on APD! The troops don't trust Schultz or his staff because they lie to them as well and the troops know it.
Just think if a person of Middle Eastern decent was taking photos of all the government buildings downtown, sketching layouts. A police officer investigates but the subject refuses to give them his identification. Under an APD policy they can not arrest anyone for just concealing ID and to double whammy it this policy comes out so they can't transfer it to Federal Authorities. Nice job Schultz, way to keep us safe in this post 911 world.
Illegal Immigrant does not mean they are just migrant workers from Mexico. If the chief thought that, well maybe he needs to go get an education while a person with character can run the department and get it back on track.
The issue of whether illegal residents should have driver's licenses aside, why should it be tied to a social security number?
I have a driver's license and it contains a unique identifier: a driver's license number. Unless the state's IT people are totally incompetent, that should be enough to determine whether or not this is my first time or tenth time. Why do we *have* license numbers, if that number isn't used for anything?
Social security numbers are identifiers for a *federal* wealth redistribution program, and there's no reason that *state* issued licenses to drive (a totally unrelated activity), should be tied to that program. That's true whether you're an illegal immigrant or have been a US citizen all your life.
Sophia Tareen, AP, August 15, 2007
A woman who has come to personify the struggles of illegal immigrant parents says that for the first time in a year she will venture beyond the walls of the church that has protected her from deportation.
Elvira Arellano took refuge inside Aldalberto United Methodist Church on Aug. 15, 2006, and has lived there on the second floor with her 8-year-old son Saul, who is a U.S. citizen.
She hasn’t left the church for fear of being sent back to Mexico and separated from her son.
She was to announce Wednesday that she plans a Sept. 12 trip to Washington to lobby Congress for immigration reform, according to the Rev. Walter Coleman, pastor of the church and longtime Chicago political activist.
It’s not clear how she’ll get there, but she likely won’t be flying, Coleman told The Associated Press Tuesday. He and others worry Arellano will be arrested, but she plans to go anyway.
We can all thank the geniuses that decided that a social security number and/or proof of citezenship isn't necessary to obtain a license in this state. Anyone can get one.
Those are the geniuses that need to be voted out of office next go round. As far as I know illegals aren't allowed to vote yet!
Daren White for governor.....He will clean things up and won't hire poor leaders like Ray Schultz and his minions.
Two blogs up. They vote all the time its just not done legally. Why do you think Smarty and Ray want to protect them.
Be careful with Darren White, he and Ray are very close friends. Ask anyone, Sal (undersheriff) thinks Ray walks on water. Ray would be chief for another 4 years if Darren were elected as Mayor.
This may be true, but don't think for a second that Darren wouldn't pull the reigns tight and keep his ass in check.
I think Darren is way to smart to bring back Schultz. Look at how bad things are on APD because of Ray Schultz. That would be suicide for Darren if he was going to keep Schultz as his platform if he ran for mayor, besides I heard he wants to be governor. People have already given him money for the governors race. It's just real hushed right now.
Get ready Marty!!
Darren should know better, but who knows.
Schultz is a loser. you don't need to keep him in check, just get rid of the guy and the problem he creates!
APD needs a new Chief with fresh ideas. One that will place the needs of their officers before their own personal agenda!!!!! Not Schultz!
HEY BONEHEADS, READ THE CITY COUNCIL, LEGISLATIVE AND COUNTY COMMISSION SPONSORED AND APPROVED RESOLUTIONS AND PROCLAIMATIONS. THEY MADE THE RULES. THE POOR COPS, DEPUTIES AND TROOPERS ARE JUST DOING WHAT THEY ARE TOLD.
If the county commission did this why does BSCO have a totally different set of instructions for their deputies? Oh it's because White has the balls to do what is right. Schultz is just being a good soldier. Well that excuse didn't help the Nazis and I don't think it works for him.
How long will it be before an illegal kills someone in the city?
It's been happening all this time....
"It’s not clear how she’ll get there, but she likely won’t be flying, Coleman told The Associated Press Tuesday. He and others worry Arellano will be arrested, but she plans to go anyway."
HA! They got her ass! Not only was she here illegally, this is the second time, and she even went a step further and obtained a fraudulent social security card this time around so she could work at an AIRPORT, cleaning AIRPLANES!
She limped accreos the border the second time to give birth to her son, assuming that she would be allowed to stay here. But when she got caught committing FRAUD (fake social security card), she was ordered to be deported. Then she thumbed her nose at OUR laws and took refuge in a church. Then thinking that the feds wouldn't DARE arrest her after all the publicity and attention she drew to herself, she takes a bus to L.A. Way to go ICE.
Then she has the NERVE to go on national TV and claim that OUR laws are broken, and how dare the US Government separate her from her child, when SHE was the one who left him in Chicago...for that exact reason. She tried to manipulate the system, and she lost.
The question I have is...did she even bother trying to get naturalized? I understand that she came here for work and a better life...that's all fine and dandy. But she could have done it LEGALLY. Instead she chose to ignore our laws and spit on our country. F*ck her, and f*ck all the other illegals who have the audacity to come into this country, break laws, get deported and then talk shit about us. If you didn't come here legally, then you didn't belong here to begin with. Got back to your own countries and blame them for your suffering. It's not our fault, and it's definately our problem. I hope to God ICE hunts down every single one and sends them right back where they belong. I'm sick and tired of people from every shithole on earth thinking that it's thiier God given right to migrate to this country.
I'm not racist or prejudiced in the least. But I believe in LEGAL immigration, and if these people can't do it the way our great grandparents did, then screw them all. I'm SICK AND TIRED of seeing MY hard earned money go to people who DON'T BELONG HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry. Had to vent.
Couldn't agree with you more!
You'll get over it!
When are whites going to be able to use the affirmative action card in Albuquerque?
There is a serious reversed racism problem in this town, with an acute institutionalized anti-white policy present at all levels, which seeks to keep whites from entering the work force at both the city level and, the federal level (ie. the post-office.)
Yes, illegal immigration is met with great sympathy in Albuquerque because it changes the demographics(look at APS schools.)
