Federal Government say’s California’s proposed immigrant driver’s license does not meet national standards.

Federal authorities stated that the proposed design for California driver’s license for immigrants who are in the country illegally does not meet national security standards.

Homeland Security officials told California’s Department of Motor Vehicles that the license would need to state on its face that it cannot be used for federal purposes and should contain a unique design or color.

As of now, federal officials have stated that the license will not meet requirements under the Real ID act.

California has been planning to issue licenses to immigrants with different lettering on the front and a notice that the card isn’t valid federal identification on the back.

A DMV spokesman says the agency will work with lawmakers, communities and federal officials on the new license.

Reasons why President Obama has failed as a Leader

July 2, 2011

Frank Osekowsky

Here are just a few example of Obama’ leadership failures:

President Obama has spent the first two year of his presidency on such issues as ObamaCare and has pushed through a government centric solution that the majority of Americans do not want.

Since taking office, Obama has added $5 trillion dollars to the national debt.

Obama’s stimulus program has failed, instead of the stimulus program lowering the unemployment rate it has done nothing but raised it.

Obama follows right behind France and the Arab League into the United Nations-approved military intervention in Libya.  Obama is unable or unwilling to clearly define the mission and criteria for success that will allow the United States to cease its active military involvement.

United States Foreign policy is an embarrassing mess under Obama-Since Obama has become President America’s global power has weakened.  The United States has surrender to Moscow on Missile site defenses, has failed to aggressively stand up to Iran’s nuclear program. And he has decided to side with the ousted Marxists leader in Honduras.

America has lost its greatness under Obama- Since taking office Obama has traveled the world to apologize to world leaders for the actions of the United States in the past for invading other nations. 

So what has Obama done for the past two years.  He has done nothing but bring this county down.  President Obama has been busy taking over the Banking industry, the Insurance industry, the Automobile industry and is busy trying to get illegal immigrants amnesty.

President Obama has always stated that he is for the middle class.  If we look at his record this is far from the truth.  He wants to tax the middle class to death so that we can pay more for his socialist programs.

He wants to control everything.  He wants the citizens of the United States to be dependent on the government for all of their needs.

President Obama has no idea what he is doing.

President Obama was right when he promised changed if he was elected President of the United States.  He has changed the United States of America from a democracy nation to a socialist nation.

In 2012, our voices will be heard loud and clear in Washington and throughout the nation.

CONSERVATIVES V. LIBERALS

CONSERVATIVES V. LIBERALS

June 13, 2011

FRANK OSEKOWSKY

 

We will take a look at Conservative Beliefs and compare them to Liberal Beliefs. To show how their Beliefs conflict within liberals own beliefs and defy logic and common sense.

Conservatives believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. Believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals. Their policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems.

Liberals believe in governmental action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all, and that it is the duty of the State to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. Believe that people are basically good. Liberal policies generally emphasize the need for the government to solve people’s problems.

 

Abortion

Conservatives believe human life begins at conception. Abortion is the murder of a human being. Nobody has the right to murder a human being. Support legislation to prohibit partial birth abortions, called the “Partial Birth Abortion Ban” Partial birth abortion is the killing of an unborn baby of at least 20 weeks by pulling it out of the birth canal with forceps, but leaving the head inside. An incision is made in the back of the baby’s neck and the brain tissue is suctioned out. The head is then removed from the uterus.

Liberals believe a fetus is not a human life. The decision to have an abortion is a personal choice of a woman regarding her own body and the government should stay out of it. Women should be guaranteed the right to a safe and legal abortion, including partial birth abortion.

Affirmative action

Conservatives believe People should be admitted to schools and hired for jobs Based on their ability. It is unfair to use race as a factor in the selection process. Reverse-discrimination is not a solution for racism.

Liberals believe Due to prevalent racism in the past, minorities were deprived of the same education and employment opportunities as whites. We need to make up for that. Support affirmative action based on the belief thatAmericais still a racist society. Minorities still lag behind whites in all statistical measurements of success. Also, the presence of minorities creates diversity.

Death penalty

Conservatives believe the death penalty is a punishment that if it fits the Crime it is neither ‘cruel’ nor ‘unusual’. Executing a murderer is the appropriate punishment for taking an innocent life.

Liberals believe we should abolish the death penalty. The death penalty is inhumane and is ‘cruel and unusual’ punishment. It does not deter crime. Imprisonment is the appropriate punishment. Every criminal execution risks killing an innocent person.

The Economy

Conservatives believe the free market system, competitive capitalism, and private enterprise afford the widest opportunity and the highest standard of living for all. Free markets produce more economic growth, more jobs and higher standards of living than those systems burdened by excessive government regulation.

Liberals favor a market system in which government regulates the economy. We need government to protect us against big businesses. Unlike the private sector, the government is motivated by public interest. We need government regulation to level the playing field.

 

Education – school vouchers

Conservatives believe School vouchers will give all parents the right to choose good schools for their children, not just those who can afford private schools. Parents who pay the taxes that fund the schools should decide how and where to educate their child.

Liberals believe School vouchers are untested experiments. We need to focus on more funding for existing public schools -to raise teacher salaries and reduce class size.

The Environment

Conservatives believe Desire clean water, clean air and a clean planet, just like everyone else. However, extreme environmental policies destroy jobs and damage the economy. Changes in global temperatures are natural over long periods of time. So far, science has not shown that humans can affect permanent change to the earth’s temperature.

Liberals believe that conservatives don’t care about protecting the environment. Industrial growth harms the environment. Global warming is caused by an increased production of carbon dioxide. TheU.S.is a major contributor to global warming because it produces 25% of the world’s carbon dioxide. TheU.S.should enact laws to significantly reduce that amount.

Gun control

Conservatives believe The Second Amendment gives the individual the right to keep and bear arms. Gun control laws do not thwart criminals. You have a right to defend yourself against criminals. More guns mean less crime

Liberals believe the Second Amendment gives no individual the right to own a gun, but allows the state to keep a militia (National Guard). Guns kill people. Guns kill children.

Health care

Conservatives believe free healthcare provided by the government (socialized medicine) means that everyone will get the same poor-quality healthcare. The rich will continue to pay for superior healthcare, while all others will receive poor-quality free healthcare from the government. Health care should remain privatized. Conservatives support healthcare spending accounts.

Liberals believe Support universal government-supervised health care. There are millions of Americans who can’t afford health insurance. They are being deprived of a basic right to healthcare

Immigration

Conservatives Support legal immigration at current numbers, but do not support illegal immigration. Government should enforce immigration laws. Oppose President Bush’s amnesty plan for illegal immigrants. Those who break the law by entering theU.S.illegally should not have the same rights as those who obey the law by entering legally. If there were a decrease in cheap, illegal immigrant labor, employers would have to substitute higher-priced domestic employees or legal immigrants,

Liberals Support illegal immigration and increasing the number of legal immigrants permitted to enter theU.S.each year. Support blanket amnesty for current illegal immigrants. Believe that regardless of how they came to theU.S., illegal immigrants deserveU.S.government financial aid for college tuition. Liberals Support Visas for spouses and children to come to the U.S. Families shouldn’t be separated. Illegal immigrants do the jobs that Americans do not want to do.

Religion

Conservatives believe the phrase “separation of church and state” is not in the Constitution. For a very good reason it’s not in the Constitution. The First Amendment to the Constitution states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” This prevents the government from establishing a national church. However, it does not prevent God from being acknowledged in schools and government buildings. Oppose the removal of symbols of Christian heritage from public and government spaces. Government should not interfere with religion and religious freedom.

The liberal supports the separation of church and state. Religious expression has no place in government. Support the removal of all references to God in public and government spaces. Religion should not interfere with government.

 

 

Same-sex marriage

Conservatives believe Marriage is between one man and one woman. Opinions differ on support for the creation of a constitutional amendment establishing marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Believe that requiring citizens to sanction same-sex relationships violates moral and religious beliefs of millions of Christians, Jews, Muslims and others who believe marriage is the union of a man and a woman.

Liberals believe marriage should be legal for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender couples to ensure equal rights for all. All individuals, regardless of their sex, have the right to marry. Believe that prohibiting same-sex citizens from marrying denies them of their civil rights. Opinions differ on whether this issue is equal to civil rights for African Americans

Social Security

Conservatives believe the current Social Security system is in serious financial trouble. Changes are necessary because theU.S.will be unable to maintain the current system it in the future. Support proposal to allow a portion of Social Security dollars withheld to be put into an account chosen by the individual, not the government.

Liberals generally oppose change to the current Social Security system. Opinions vary on whether the current system is in financial trouble. Changing the current system will cause people to lose their Social Security benefits. Support a cap on Social Security payments to the wealthy.

Taxes

Conservatives support lower taxes and a smaller government. Lower taxes create more incentive for people to work, save, invest, and engage in entrepreneurial endeavors. Money is best spent by those who earn it.

Liberals Support higher taxes and a larger government. High taxes enable the government to do well and create jobs. We need high taxes for social welfare programs, to provide for the poor. We can’t afford to cut taxes.

 

United Nations (UN)

Conservatives believe the UN has repeatedly failed in its essential mission to preserve world peace. The wars, genocide and human rights abuses of the majority of its member states and the UN’s failure to stop them prove this point. History shows that theUnited States, not the UN, is the global force for spreading freedom, prosperity, tolerance and peace. TheU.S.should never subvert its national interests to those of the UN.

Liberals believe theUnited Stateshas a moral and a legal obligation to support the United Nations. The UN can be effective in promoting peace and human rights. TheU.S.should not have acted inIraqwithout UN approval. TheU.S.should submit its national interests to the greater good as defined by the UN.

War on terror or terrorism

Conservatives believe the world toward which the Militant Islamists strive cannot peacefully co-exist with the Western world. In the last decade, Militant Islamists have repeatedly attacked Americans and American interests here and abroad. The terrorists must be stopped and destroyed.

Liberals believe 9/11 was caused byAmerica’s arrogant foreign policy.Americaneeds to stop angering other countries. The threat posed by terrorism is exaggerated by President Bush for his own political advantage.

Welfare

Conservatives Oppose long-term welfare. We need to provide opportunities to make it possible for poor and low-income workers to become self-reliant. It is far more compassionate and effective to encourage a person to become self-reliant, rather than keeping them dependent on the government for money.

Liberals support welfare. We need welfare to provide for the poor. Conservatives oppose welfare because they are not compassionate toward the poor. We have welfare to bring fairness to American economic life. Without welfare, life below the poverty line would be intolerable.

Alabama’s Illegal Immigration law called the toughest.

June 13, 2011

 Frank Osekowsky

 Alabama today became the toughest nation to date to enact Illegal Immigration law.

Republican Governor Robert Bently singed the new law into effect and expressed confidence that it would withstand any legal challenges.

Alabamahas an estimated 120,000 illegal immigrants, a nearly fivefold increase from a decade ago, according toPewHispanicCenter.

One of the sponsor’s GOP Sen. Scott Beason, said it would help the unemployed by preventing illegal immigrants from getting jobs in the state. Alabamaunemployment rate stood at 9.3 percent in April.

This law will also make it a crime for a landlord to knowingly rent to an illegal immigrant.

The law will also make it a crime to transport a knowingly illegal immigrant.

Alabama’s law also goes further in requiring schools to check the immigration status of their students.  The measure does not prohibit illegal immigrants from attending public schools; lawmakers said the purpose instead is to gather data on how many are enrolled and how the state is spending to educate them.

Alabama’s Hispanic population more than doubled between 2000 and 2010 to 186,000 or 3.9 percent of the state’s nearly 4.8 million people according to the Census.

 Alabamameasure was modeled afterArizona

Los Angeles Police Department to Stop Seizing Cars of Illegal Immigrants

Back on March 17^th, 2011, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck has ordered his officers to stop seizing cars of sober but unlicensed undocumented immigrants when they are stopped in sobriety checkpoints.

 Instead of seizing these vehicles, the LAPD will let those who were stopped have a “reasonable time” to find someone who is licensed to who can drive their car home.

But, the LAPD will continue to seize and impound cars of citizens and legal residents who also don’t have a drivers license because they, unlike the illegal immigrants, have the option to apply for one.

 LAPD Charlie Beck said he made the changes because those must affected by the change were otherwise law-abiding, hardworking people.

 Illegal immigrants should not be getting any special treatments.  If they want to drive in this country, then they need to become a citizen and take a drivers test, just like everyone else in this country.

 It is getting a little annoying that we keep giving Illegal Immigrants a break.  They are the ones that are breaking the law and need to be punish.

 FORMER KANSAS WELFARE WORKER SAYS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ABUSE THE SYSTEM

 Lana Reed who worked as a bilingual specialists for the Department of Social and Rehabilitation services, in Overland Park from 2008 to 2010 testified how Illegal Immigration had abuse the welfare system in Kansas.

 Lana Reed described a system that is overrun by illegal immigrants who used false social security numbers and other fraudulent documents to game the system.

 “I witnessed overwhelming levels of fraud and corruption resulting in the waste of millions of taxpayers dollars”.  “Most of the fraud was conducted pursuant to policies of the SRS which required employees to turn a blind eye to fraud abuse.” Lana Reed made these comments to the Kansas House Judiciary Committee.

 A bill that was written by Rep. Lance Kinzey an Olathe Kansas Republican, along with secretary of state Kris Kobach would require police to check the legal status of those they suspect might by in the United States illegally.  It would also require state and local government to run citizenship checks on new hires, and require proof of citizenship for anyone seeking public aide. 

 “At a time of high unemployment, it is different to fathom why a state would not want to ensure that taxpayers dollars are used only used to support the employment of legal workers” Kobach said

Virginia rules police can check Immigration Status

August 5, 2010

Virginia’s Attorney General issued an order that stated officers are allowed to check the Immigration Status of anyone “stopped or arrested”.

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli issued this opinion extending that authority to Virginia police in response to an inquriry over whether his state could mirror the policies that was passed by the state of  Arizona.

Could for Virigina for taking a stand on Illegal Immigration like  Arizona is doing.   More states need to follow in the steps of Arizona and Virginia. They need to allow law enforcement to check the Immigration status of Illegal Immigrants.

FEDERAL COURT CASES THAT FAVORS ARIZONA NEW IMMIGRATION LAW

 

 

June 24, 2010

As the Justice department is getting ready to file a lawsuit against Arizona for their recently passed Immigration law, I decided to do some research and I found some cases that favors this new law.

United States v. Salinas-Calderon.  728 F 2d 1298 (1984) United States Court of Appeals 10^th circuit. 

 In this case the court stated “A state trooper has general investigatory authority to inquire into possible immigration violations.  Moreover, the troopers questions about the green card was reasonable under the circumstances and thus lawful”.

United States v. Favela-Favela 41 Fed.Appx 185 United States Court of Appeals 10^th circuit (2002).

In this case the court stated that “A state trooper did not violate the defendant’s rights by asking questions about his immigration status, after pulling the defendant over for a traffic violation and noticing that there was 20 people in the van the defendant was driving.

 Muehler v. Mena  544 U.S. 93 (2005)  The United States Supreme Court that a police officer does not need independent reasonable suspicion to question an individual about their immigration status. 

 United States v. Vasquez-Alvarez  176 F. 3^rd 1294 (1999) United States Court of Appeals, 10^th Circuit.  The court stated that state and local law enforcement officers are empowered to arrest for violations of federal law, as long as such arrest is authorized by state law.

 As you can see these are just some of the federal court cases that do supports Arizona’s new immigration law.  This law will stand the court test and will be found to be constitutional.

Orange California backs Arizona’s new Immigration law

June 10, 2010

The City of Orange California voted 4-0 to back two resolutions supporting Arizona’s immigration reform bill.

The council declare the City of Orange “A rule of law” and officially supports the residence and business of Arizona in their efforts to stem the flow of illegal immigrants.

22 speakers spoke to urge the city to pass the resolution and 15 spoke out against it.

Supporters said it was necessary to show where the City of Orange stands on an important national issues and to show support for the people of Arizona.

Opponents called the action offensive, divisive and a waste of time because the resolution will not how Orange handles immigration issues.

Councilman Jon Dumitru introduced the two measures partly because he said illegal immigration has contributed to the city’s budget deficit.

Besides Orange, Costa Mesa and Yorba Linda have declared there support for the new Arizona Immigration law.

We need more cities in California to show their support for Arizona and for the new Immigration law that they passed.
