TigerBait aint going to like reading this.........he better start going to the meetings like the people from Proctorville did, a man with his talent of speaking in public should have no trouble getting his point across. Maybe we could invite Mr. Lynd to the next OBDTF luncheon so we could all take a shot at him............
Getting back to the subject Was past the Burg Loco last night around 6:00PM and there was One car in the parking lot. Just maybe the boycott is having some results. Think???
I served my Country Honorably. I make an honest living and pay my taxes. All I ask is that others do the same. If you are in "MY" country and you are illegal wether it be Mexican, Chinese, Canadian, of Arabic decent, or whatever you call yourself GET OUT NOW!!! I don't want you here. Stand in line like the others and wait your turn. If you are denied there may be a reason huh? And here is another thing why do some of these places fly the Mexican flag? Or have a protest in the bigger cities marching under the Mexican flag? You people need to think about that and think where some of these people's priorties are at. Let's see Mexico sucks, I am poor, no job, so I jump the border to America. Now I work and make money, I am illegal, but I don't care your not gonna do anything about it and I am even gonna flaunt it in your face, look at my Mexican Flag and screw you America. But I should not stereotype anyone or have a problem with it? Puhhhh leaze....
You do know Ellis Island does not accept any new immigrants.... .....So does that poem on the Statue not mean anything anymore?...........Me thinks it still means the same as did many moons ago...........
Here is an interesting article with illegals in Ohio
Newspaper: Illegal immigrants registered vehicles in Ohio
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio policy allowed thousands of illegal immigrants to register cars and get license plates, and the outgoing director of the state Department of Public Safety delayed a proposed crackdown for more than a year, a newspaper reported Sunday.
Director Henry Guzman, whose last day is Friday, delayed the proposed crackdown after meeting with Latino business owners and those who profited by charging fees to falsify power-of-attorney forms to obtain registrations for illegal immigrants, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Guzman announced his resignation last Aug. 27 because of a feud with State Highway Patrol Superintendent Richard Collins, who also resigned.
Guzman did not know that so-called “runners†— Latinos with legal U.S. residency who collected fees of more than $100 each to get the registrations — were present at a July 31, 2008, meeting to discuss a crackdown on the policy scheduled to begin the next day, officials said. Car dealers, financing and insurance company officials were worried about their bottom lines and undocumented workers’ ability to drive and support their families.
New restrictions didn’t take effect until Aug. 24 of this year. The new policy requires a valid driver’s license number or state ID number for the person receiving the registration when power-of-attorney forms are used.
Guzman did not respond to a request for comment from the Dispatch. The Associated Press left a message seeking comment Sunday with public safety department spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc.
After the new policy’s delay, which was originally intended to last a couple of weeks, dozens of runners obtained an increasing number of license plates for undocumented workers, records show. Bureau of Motor Vehicles investigators found that 47 “runners†used power-of-attorney forms to register more than 600 vehicles in Franklin County in the two weeks after Guzman put the hold on the stricter policy.
U.S. postal inspectors and police in Hammonton, N.J., reported this year that packages of Ohio license plates were frequently mailed to that city and showed up on cars there.
Records reviewed by the newspaper showed that then BMV Director Mike Rankin pushed Guzman and his employees to implement the stricter policy.
“The director has not lifted his moratorium; however, it’s time to move forward as our review does not indicate any significant or compelling business impacts that would justify any delay,†Rankin wrote on Jan. 6.
Rankin wrote again on June 26: “Henry (Guzman) needs to move on this issue ASAP — no more delays. We have other out-of-state PDs (police departments) reporting in as well on this issue.â€
Public safety officials said Rankin and his staff members did not address concerns raised by Guzman and didn’t provide final forms and procedures until June. Rankin resigned as BMV registrar in June after accusing Guzman of interfering with his work. He then became assistant secretary of state.
Rankin declined comment to the Dispatch, and Jeff Ortega, a spokesman for Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, told the AP Sunday that Rankin declined to comment on the matter.
Komlanc told the Dispatch that the delay in implementing the new policy was driven by “legitimate concerns.â€
Officials worried that the new process would be unwieldy and could keep auto dealers and others from easily obtaining vehicle registrations, she said.
Ohio House Minority Leader Bill Batchelder, a Medina Republican, said the new policy should have been in place to keep undocumented workers from getting registrations. Any problems could be worked out over time, he said.
“I’m absolutely baffled,†Batchelder said. “They were intentionally permitting the law to be violated. It’s unbelievable.â€
Records show that BMV investigators have considered Ohio to be a haven for the registration of vehicles by illegal immigrants — inside and outside the state — for at least four years.
Ohio only required a Social Security number for a person to register a vehicle on behalf of another with a power-of-attorney form. Federal law prohibited the state from checking the numbers to verify identities.
