Retired DCPA Beasley's Letter to Mayor Villaraigosa

The following letter was written by retired Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Harold Beasley. Mr. Beasley served as the Deputy Chief Patrol Agent in the San Diego Sector up until he transferred to the Tucson Sector. Mr. Beasley was one of the “leaders” with the foresight to help build a successful labor-management relationship that resolved matters at the lowest possible level and avoided unnecessarily wasting Border Patrol/taxpayer money on arbitrations. Mr. Beasley was responsible for many agreements that are now being violated under the direction of Chief Fisher, who effectively destroyed the once successful relationship within days of taking over as the Chief of the San Diego Sector without any regard to the history behind the relationship or the agreements.

Attn: Scheduling Office

Los Angeles, CA 90012

Mayor Villaraigosa:

I recently saw media coverage of a high ranking Religious Official from the Catholic Church in Los Angeles blasting the recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement work-site raids. This Religious Official referred to the ICE Agents as heavy handed, intimidating, gun slinging federal agents who had no right to conduct work-site raids, or words to the effect. He further referred to the poor criminal illegal aliens as the REAL VICTIMS and that their HUMAN RIGHTS were violated. Lastly, he said that the Catholic Church will fight the battle for the illegal aliens and that the Catholic Church fully supports amnesty for these poor victims, or words to the effect. Is he speaking for all Catholics?

Well after seeing this bleeding heart garbage, I looked at a few Los Angeles, California web-sites. There YOU were supporting the same issues and out right saying that Los Angeles, California is a SANCTUARY CITY for criminal illegal aliens. Therefore, I wanted to write you this letter and tell you how happy I am that YOU, the Catholic Church and your City Council want so badly to make Los Angeles, California a SANCTUARY CITY for criminal illegal aliens. I also want you to know that I am going to contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Washington, DC and tell them to send all criminal illegal aliens to Los Angeles after they are released from custody for “FAMILY HUMANITARIAN REASONS”. You, sir, can take care of and support all the criminal illegal aliens that your little heart desires. We tax-paying, law abiding American Citizens are tired of our tax dollars going to support criminal illegal aliens.

I use the words criminal illegal aliens because listed below are just some of the crimes they commit every minute in this country:

• They cross the border illegally violating Federal Law. We do nothing to them.
• They enter into a conspiracy to pay a smuggler $1,500 to $2,000 to smuggle them across the border illegally, which is a felony. We do nothing to them.
• Upon arrival at their destination, they buy counterfeit documents to get a job (social security card, legal resident alien card) committing identity theft. We do nothing to them.
• They use the counterfeit documents to receive welfare. We do nothing to them.
• They use the counterfeit documents at hospitals to give birth to their children for free. We do nothing to them.
• They use the counterfeit documents to get a driver’s license. We do nothing to them.
• They then enter into another felony to smuggle their spouse and 3.5 children into the United States. We do nothing to them.
• They again use their counterfeit documents to receive welfare, free education and free medical care for the spouse and 3.5 children. We do nothing to them.

Some of your Los Angeles web-sites reference statistics about how these poor criminal illegal aliens contribute to the economy of the United States. Listed below are a few statistics that say they ARE NOT contributing to the economy of the United States:

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://tinyurl.com/zob77

2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html

Some of the Los Angeles web-sites further mentioned that the Immigration Laws of the United States are out-dated and need to be revised. I believe YOU made that statement as well. First of all, let me assure you that the United States has the most relaxed and fair Immigration Laws of any country in the world. Second, most of these criminal illegal aliens that are referred to in many of the Los Angeles web-sites as VICTIMS have been arrested and had their day in Immigration Court. They have been ordered deported from the United States and then just happen to forgot to leave the country as they assured the Immigration Judge they would do. Then a Warrant of Deportation is issued and these poor VICTIMS now become ICE Fugitives. Lastly, I want to list some of the Immigration Laws of Mexico to demonstrate to you how fair our laws are compared to Mexico. The Mexican Constitution states:

1. Immigrants and foreign visitors are banned from public political discourse.

2. Immigrants and foreigners are denied certain basic property rights.

3. Immigrants are denied equal employment rights.

4. Immigrants and naturalized citizens will never be treated as real Mexican citizens.

5. Immigrants and naturalized citizens are not to be trusted in public service.

6. Immigrants and naturalized citizens may never become members of the clergy.

7. Private Citizens may make citizens arrests of lawbreakers (i.e., illegal immigrants) and hand them to the authorities.

8. Immigrants may be expelled from Mexico for any reason and without due process."

Mayor Villaraigosa, please contact the Mexican Consul in Los Angeles, California and request a copy of the Mexican Law – Estados Unidos Mexicanos, Ley General De Poblacion, Capitulo IV – Emigracion, Articulo 77, Articulo 78, Articulo 79 and Articula 80. Read the Law carefully and you will see that a Mexican National violates their own law when they leave Mexico without the permission of the Mexican Government.

The United States Government and its brilliant politicians did an AMNESTY in 1986 and legalized somewhere between 5-10 million people. Now we have another 10-15 million people that we don’t know what to do with. I have a great idea that the U. S. Government can do since the previous amnesty did not work. Why don’t we ENFORCE the laws that we have on the books and also support the hard working men and women of the U. S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement who put their lives on the line every day and allow them do their job? DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff stated recently that even if we tried to enforce the law, we could not deport all the illegal aliens in the United States. I have another great idea. I am a retired Border Patrol Agent. Why don’t they bring back retired Border Patrol Agents and assign them to work with Border Patrol Agents and ICE Agents in problem cities throughout the United States? I believe the Border Patrol and ICE would demonstrate quickly to Secretary Chertoff how easy it would be to locate, apprehend and remove the vast majority of criminal illegal aliens. However, we all know that Chertoff is a Politician and he would not want to upset the Special Interest Groups, the Catholic Church or the Mexican Government by enforcing our laws and removing these criminals!!

Another big issue that really made me sick to my stomach was all the demonstrations last year with ILLEGAL ALIENS and STUDENTS waving a mexican flag in my face. Montebello High School was a perfect example with a mexican flag on top of the flag pole and the American Flag upside down under the mexican flag. If their loyalty is with the country of Mexico, then why don’t they get on the next train, plane or automobile and head south? We as taxpayers need to stand behind our law enforcement officers, especially the hard working men and women of the U. S. Border Patrol and ICE, and clean up this mess that our politicians created.

If your great city and the Catholic Church want amnesty for these criminal aliens and a sanctuary city to hide them in, then let’s do it. However, understand that your great city and the Catholic Church will receive NO FUNDING from the federal government and tax-payers. Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona last year introduced and supported an amendment to the Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Bill that would have denied funding to a state or locality that did not cooperate with federal law enforcement officials by reporting suspected immigration violations. The amendment failed to clear a procedural hurdle. Senator Kyl stated that he will work hard this year to support similar legislation. Here is another great idea for your wonderful city. Why don’t you use the tax revenue generated by these criminal illegal aliens that you say pay taxes? The tax revenue generated from these criminal illegal aliens paying taxes can build housing and medical clinics on Church property for them and train religious personnel as nurses and cooks to work in the clinics and kitchens to treat and feed the criminal illegal aliens. This way you can have all of these criminal aliens and you all can support them and keep them in MEXIFORNIA.

One last question. Do you fight just as hard and demand amnesty and sanctuary for criminal illegal aliens that are Africans, Asians, Australians, Canadians, English, Iranians, Iraqis, etc.? Yeah, I didn’t think so!!
