1st Illegal Alien Arrested Under new Alabama Law From Yemen

Post Reply New Topic

For months, America has been told by left-wing non-profits like the Alien Criminals Liberation Union (ACLU), La Raza and LULAC, that Alabama’s new immigration law H.B. 56, “targets Hispanics” and is “anti-Latino“. Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn wisely ignored that rhetoric when she let stand (pending trial) the law’s most critical section – having police check immigration status of individuals apprehended in a lawful stop or arrest.

Well, the very first such arrest has now occurred since the Judge’s ruling. And – surprise, he is not from Mexico, or any other Latino American nation. He is Mohamed Ali Muflahi, 24, from…Yemen!

That’s right, the same lovely nation where we just killed a terror-linked cleric with a drone missile, and the home of the “most dangerous branch” of Al-Qaeda, according to U.S. officials.

Muflahi was arrested for obstructing a government operation during a drug raid in Etowah County. He did not have documentation, and so his immigration status was checked – per the new law. It was determined he was in the U.S. illegally, and was “charged with violation of the immigration law.”

We are waiting for the reaction of the usual (hysterical) suspects. But we can’t say we are surprised. There has been a big uptick in illegal aliens who are “OTMs” (Other Than Mexicans), and thousands of people from terror-sponsoring nations have been apprehended at our borders in recent years, despite Janet Napolitano not wanting to discuss it.

And of course, 4 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 had overstayed expired student or tourist visas, yet had evaded discovery – despite stops for speeding – because laws like Alabama’s were not in effect.

As our store’s most popular t-shirt says, “Illegal is Not a Race, It’s a Crime“. And it is the truth. We don’t care about the race of those who break our laws. We care about enforcing those laws for ALL…and apprehending and removing those who come here illegally.

Opponents of Alabama’s law are the ones who pull the race card. They are against ALL restrictive immigration laws, and believe our border should be wide open. They are not concerned about the national security threat of unchecked entry of illegals from terror-sponsoring nations, so long as their greater race-based agenda is served.

But the people of Alabama, Arizona and Georgia DO care, and are serving not just the citizens of their own states, but all Americans, by enforcing the rule of law. Congratulations to Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin and his department for making the first of what hopefully will be thousands of arrests of illegal aliens under Alabama’s outstanding new law!

To be honest I trust the standard left wing of america about as much I trust the right wing.

As any working level bureaucrat or first year law student can tell you, "make sure your test case is a slam dunk."

It is a slam dunk case, for Alabama's Prosecutor whom has to defend the law.

Ah, now you're mixing your issues. (As well, you are using the objective case when the subjective is required and you are misusing the comma.)

On the facts, the case is likely a slam dunk. But that does not mean that the constitutionality of the legislation is. The slam dunk just prevents the facts from getting in the way of the constitutional argument.

You mean the facts of the case getting in the way of the Left's talking points.

In all honesty, the ones in violation of the Constitution are the ones sitting in office not defending our Nation's borders. Alabama is picking up the slack to protect their state's citizens.

No, I mean what I write. You are presumptuous when you ascribe intention to my post.



That's a lovely political sentiment, but it is not a legal argument. Too often you confuse the political with the legal--a few years of law school might teach you the difference, and make you a much more effective advocate as a result.

What are the states supposed to do, when the Federal Government is refusing to protect our borders and putting the American People at risk (See Operation Fast & Furious).

If Kal El's ship from Krypton had landed in Alabama, baby Kal El would have been arrested and Martha and Jonathan Kent would have been arrested as accomplices.

Confine themselves to their constitutional jurisdiction, of course.

The law does not permit people to take unauthorized action simply because the legitimate agent has failed to act.

What's next, North Dakota opening a Consulate General in Regina because the federal government has failed to do so, thus impairing Saskatchewan - North Dakota trade?

If I were to make a country I know who I'd ask to be my Legal advisor.

this is resolved with natural law. if the "legitimate agent" does not act then the illegitimate no longer has any reason to care about its "proper" position and will act as it sees fit. the court of law doesn't matter when it fails the people.

and what trade is being impeded? the drug trade?

and how is it that the states have no right to enforce immigration law? there may be law saying it is the feds job, but is there law saying that no other legal body can do it?

And so with that belief we allow domestic terrorists to roam the countryside and impose their law on other people undemocratically.


No, actual legal trade, rather than the trade that all paranoid people will only ever think will happen between those two places in order to feed misgivings and fear.

He didn't say that. He said that no U.S. state should enforce its state laws on a federal basis. Don't like it? Well you oppose the bedrock of the U.S. legal system.

Arrested?
If he's in jail then make sure he hangs himself there.
State vs. federal law in this case all the sudden becomes a non-issue.
Problem solved.

why do I find this amusing

you're going to have to explain the second one to me as i don't get it.

and how exactly will this impede with legitimate business? if the people are here legitimately they will be shown to be so.
