Arrested over 40 times in 4 different states and deported twice UNBELIEVEABLE Ruthie DALLAS -- Diones Graciano-Navarro has been arrested at least 40 times in four states. His rap sheet had humble beginnings with charges of loitering in New York City in 1975. In New Jersey, he graduated to fraud. By 1988, he was in California. He was charged with obtaining money by fraud or trickery. Later came cocaine possession. The Dominican Republic native was deported twice. But he slipped back into the U.S., settling in North Texas, where in 2004 he started collecting DWI and marijuana possession charges. Almost half of the nearly 393,000 immigrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement who were deported last fiscal year had criminal records. But Graciano-Navarro, 63, is not the best poster child for the Obama administration's recent victory laps over increased deportation of criminal aliens who shouldn't have been in the U.S. in the first place.

John HillStand With Arizona Illegal alien Jose Antonio Cua-Toc won $750,000 in the Georgia lottery. Fearing that he would be busted as an illegal under Georgia's new immigration enforcement law, Cau-Toc claims he gave the ticket to his boss, Erick Cervantes to cash for him. Cervantes then did cash it in – and kept it. So Cua-Toc got angry. Very angry: Police say Jose Antonio Cua-Toc threatened his boss, Erick Cervantes, and his wife, calling them repeatedly and saying he would "kill each of them and their children if they did not give him some of the lottery winnings…" So Cervantes called police, and the Guatemalan national was arrested, and now faces deportation. MSNBC covered the story: There is no side to root for in this story. The illegal should be deported, of course. But – if Cua-Toc's claims are true – his boss knowingly hired an illegal alien and then stole from him. Too bad we can't deport them both! But the good news from all this is the impact that a state-based enforcement law had in this case. Cua-Toc's lawyer said that Georgia's H.B. 87 is what prevented him from cashing the ticket himself. But ironically, the Georgia Lottery requires only that a winner show ID and provide a signature. Lottery officials say they don't verify immigration status. In addition, the provision of H.B. 87 that lets police check immigration status was actually blocked by a Federal judge pending trial. So Cua-Toc could have easily cashed the ticket with no problem. But Georgia's tough law made him afraid to do it – and that's the point. Despite Arizona's S.B. 1070 being mostly blocked by a Federal judge, a whopping 100,000 illegals have already fled the state. And reports of thousands of illegals fleeing Georgia and Alabama have been reported as well. Arizona-style immigration enforcement laws WORK – even when muted by liberal judges. When illegals fear enforcement, they flee. And the more states that pass AZ-style laws, the fewer illegals will come or remain here, and the more jobs and less crime for Americans. That is why Stand With Arizona and our activists are pushing to enact them in 22 more states this fall.
**************************************************************** 7. 53 Dead in Attack on Casino in Northern Mexico Published August 25, 2011 · 
AP August 25: Smoke billows from the Casino Royale in Monterrey, Mexico. MONTERREY – Two dozen gunmen burst into a casino in northern Mexico on Thursday, doused it with gasoline and started a fire that trapped gamblers inside, killing 53 people and injuring a dozen more, authorities said. The fire at the Casino Royale in Monterrey, a city that has seen a surge in drug cartel-related violence, represented one of the deadliest attacks on an entertainment center in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug cartels in late 2006. "This is a night of sadness for Mexico," federal security spokesman Alejandro Poire said in a televised address. "These unspeakable acts of terror will not go unpunished." Calderon tweeted that the attack was "an abhorrent act of terror and barbarism" that requires "all of us to persevere in the fight against these unscrupulous criminal bands." Nuevo Leon state Attorney General Leon Adrian de la Garza said authorities had located about 40 bodies "but we could find more." He said a drug cartel was apparently responsible for the attack. Cartels often extort casinos and other businesses, threatening to attack them or burn them to the ground if they refuse to pay. State police officials quoted survivors as saying armed men burst into the casino, apparently to rob it, and began dousing the premises with fuel from tanks they brought with them. The officials were not authorized to be quoted by name for security reasons. De la Garza said the liquid appeared to be gasoline. With shouts and profanities, the attackers told the customers and employees to get out. But many terrified customers and employees fled further inside the building, where they died trapped amid the flames and thick smoke that soon billowed out of the building. Video footage showed workers continuing to remove bodies well into the night. Monterrey Mayor Fernando Larrazabal said many of the bodies were found inside the casino's bathrooms, where employees and customers had locked themselves to escape the gunmen. In an act of desperation, authorities commandeered backhoes from a nearby construction site to break into the casino's walls to try to reach the people trapped inside. Maria Tomas Navarro, 42, stood weeping at the edge of the police tape stretched in front of the smoke-stained casino building. She was hoping for word of her brother, 25-year-old Genaro Navarro Vega, who had worked in the casino's bingo area. Navarro said she tried calling her brother's cellphone. "But he doesn't answer. I don't know what is happening," she said. "There is nobody to ask." Larrazabal said the casino, in a well-off part of Monterrey, had been closed by authorities in May for building an expansion without a permit, but a judge later granted the owner an injunction to continue operating. Initial reports said 11 people had been killed, but the death toll climbed as emergency personnel and firefighters searched the casino building. Medics treated survivors for smoke inhalation. State police officials initially said witnesses reported hearing three explosions before the fire started, but later said a flammable material was used. The officials were not authorized to be quoted by name for security reasons. The reports of explosions may have been the sound of the ignition of the liquid. It was the second time in three months that the Casino Royale was targeted. Gunmen struck it and three other casinos on May 25, when the gunmen sprayed the Casino Royale with bullets, but no was reported injured in that attack. Last month, gunmen killed 20 people at a bar in Monterrey. The attackers sprayed the bar with rounds from assault rifles, and police later found bags of drugs at the bar. Monterrey has seen bloody turf battles between the Zetas and Gulf cartels in recent months. Once Mexico's symbol of development and prosperity, the city is seeing this year's drug-related murders on a pace to double last year's and triple those of the year before.
