No Mas?

Run this one by us again:

• Fake IDs are being sold with impunity up and down 26th Street in the 010th District. Even Pam Zekman is bragging about how her team was able to purchase ID's a year ago from the "mica men" in Little Village.
• The selling seems to be centered around Foto Estudio Munoz. We aren't sure if this is associated with the Foto Estudio Munoz that was owned and operated by Aldercreature Munoz mother back in the late 1990's that mysteriously burned to the ground around 2 years ago. One wouldn't be hard pressed to make that logistical leap as the aldercreature's mother was arrested on at least one occasion for producing fake IDs (charges were dropped that evening following certain phone calls.)
• Gang members make hundreds of thousands of dollars with the protection racket associated with selling these IDs.

This would seem to make this a criminal enterprise of rather large proportions. As American citizens and police officers, we would have to encourage this sort of behavior on the part of the Federal authorities. If we recall correctly, nineteen arab terrorists with something like seventy-six separate forged identification documents among them, crashed 4 civilian aircraft into buildings in New York, Washington DC and a field in Pennsylvania. That would seem to make the prosecution of forged IDs and related documents something of a national obligation of sorts, wouldn't it?

So why are these people protesting? (Channel 2, Channel 5, Channel 7)

• Anger, frustration and, ultimately, solidarity spilled into the streets of Little Village Tuesday afternoon. Chicago police only showed up after residents flooded 26th Stree and Albany Avenue. Participants held signs that said things like "no one is illegal." [No one is illegal? Then why are they selling these documents everywhere? - SCC]
• "Selling illegal papers to immigrants so we can work, basically. That's all we buy them for, is to work," said Little Village resident Luz Nolasco. "But apparently that's against the law and God forbid we help America!" [Um, exactly - IT'S AGAINST THE LAW! Dumbass. - SCC]
• "This is discrimination. This is unfair because the United States Of America is made out of immigrants," said area resident Carlota Trevino. "If they dont want Hispanics here, then everbody who has Mexican, German , Irish Swedish and Dutch, we all need to leave the country because this is the Indians' country that was stolen from them." [Discrimination by going against people who are here ILLEGALLY? Why does the lame-stream media even give these people a forum? Why expel people who went through the process legally? - SCC]
• "We are not here to stop anybody from enforcing the law. But there is common sense into this thing. Why do it in such a public way as to intimidate the people here in this community?" said Alderman George Cardenas, 12th Ward. [Aldercreature, this is common sense enforcement. Just because certain people decide to treat the entire expanse of 26th Street like some barrio flea market doesn't mean the laws of this country don't apply there. - SCC]
  

This should have been done years ago - and it was being done by a very small team of 010 District coppers - until rather large political feet were dropped on their efforts. And in the meantime, persons seeking illegal documentation to facilitate movement within this country, continued (and still continue) to acquire their fake IDs and plan to do us harm.
