It seems to me that theadvice,when youre in a hole, you should stop digging, should also apply to our budgets. An example is our school budgets that are so bad that the quality of education in our schools is in real trouble and getting worse. Yet we have a very high percentage of undocumented immigrant children in our schools who are costing us a fortune to educate and feed.

Then stupidity seems to take full control as our politicians (including Gov. Brown) shove sanctuary state down our throats.

The illegal immigrants seem to be outsmarting us in many ways. But I guess if were stupid enough to legalize marijuana for the taxes, we cant expect much common sense to be very active in politics. So the illegal drug problems that will follow the legalization of marijuana will become a nightmare that will no doubt eat up more taxes than the legalization of marijuana brings in.

Our enemies dont need to work at destroying us were on the road to doing that ourselves.

Illegal drugs, illegal immigration and our politicians are out of control.

Montgomery County States Attorney John McCarthy told reporters The facts no longer support the original charges filed, the Washington Post reported. Prosecutors are now focusing their efforts on allegations of child pornography distribution after police found images of the victim on both suspects cell phones.

Defense attorneys appeared to admit to the crime, telling the Washington, D.C. newspaper the girl willingly shared the images with one of the defendants. The images were then passed along to the other, they said.

Henry Sanchez Milians attorney, Andrew Jezic, attempted to downplay the potential new charges saying, it is hardly uncommon behavior for teenagers. Defendant Jose Montanos attorney, Maria Mena, appeared to deflect to her 17-year-old clients co-defendant, saying the child pornography charges are made to go after adults, the Washington Post reported. Sanchez Milian 18-years old and legally an adult.

The national public outcry after the alleged oral, vaginal, and anal rape became public in March was called racist and xenophobic by Montgomery County Public School Superintendent Dr. Jack Smith.

If convicted, Sanchez Milan could face a sentence of five years in prison for child porn distribution charges. The younger Montano could face up to 10 years in prison for possession and distribution of pornography.

Lawmakers in various states have been debating how to deal with the issue of teenagers sexting photos of their underage classmates, Breitbart News reported.

In the lead up to filing sexual assault charges, law enforcement investigators reportedthe young teen said she cried out in pain and begged them to stop. A forensic investigator found blood and bodily fluids in the boys bathroom.

Sanchez-Milans attorney countered that the young girl actively planned a sexual encounter, and a school video showed the girl and the 17-year-old accused teen walking into the bathroom together.

Director of Policy Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) told Breitbart News Katie McHugh, The only reason the older youth, Sanchez Milian, was in the country at all was because of the Obama administrations catch and release policies that allowed him to be resettled in Maryland (with the support of taxpayers), with few questions asked.

Few groups of illegal immigrants have left such a violent mark in our community as these so-called unaccompanied minorsthey are almost like modern dayMarielitos(the Cuban inmates released by Fidel Castro decades ago), she added. Dozens have been arrested for violent crimes in Maryland, New York, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Texas.

Eighteen-year-old Henry Sanchez Milian, an El Salvadorian national, and 17-year-old Jose Montano from Guatemala were enrolled as freshmen at the high school.

As reportedby Breitbart News:

The 1982 Supreme Court CasePlyler v. Doeforbidspublic schools from withholding taxpayer funding from illegal aliens, allowing them to enroll in schools meantto educate citizens children. As Breitbart News has reported, illegal aliens and their children are entitled to U.S. taxpayer-funded educations in spite of breaking many U.S. laws. American communities are forced to divertnearly $60 billion in fundingeach year from their own children to illegals, foreign-born students, refugees, and U.S.-born children of illegals granted citizenship by a footnote in the 5-4Doeruling.

Milian was encountered by border patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas in August 2016 before the alleged rape on March 16, 2017. He was turned over to the custody of his father. The 18-year-old had a pending alien removal case against him, but he was nevertheless allowed to enroll at Rockville High School.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers detained Henry Sanchez father, 43-year-old Adolfo Sanchez-Reyes, afterdetermining the Guatemalan to be an illegal alien, reported Breitbart News on March 27. Sanchez-Reyes is being held at the Howard County Detention Center.

Breitbart News reported in 2014 that Montgomery County had been one of the most prominentsanctuary cities in the country.

On March 27, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions urged the state of Maryland to abandon any plans to make Maryland a so-called sanctuary state. On March 21, the largely Democrat Maryland House of Delegates approvedthe Maryland Law Enforcement and Trust Act which would prevent police officers from asking a suspect about their immigration status. It would prevent police officers from giving illegal aliens to federal authorities unless required by federal law. Officers would also have to get a warrant before complying with an ICE detainer request. As reported by Breitbart News, Marylands Republican Governor Larry Hogan threatened to veto the bill.

On Friday, ICE confirmed they are seeking to deport Sanchez Milan to Guatemala, reported the Washington Post. Even though they do not have him in federal custody, ICE has issued a detainer. Montgomery County officials confirmed they will honor the ICE detainer because of the child pornography distribution charges.

Illegal Aliens in Maryland HS Bathroom Sex Case Face Child Porn Charges - Breitbart News

The Sacramento City Council voted last week to use taxpayer money to create a legal network to help shield illegal immigrants from immigration authorities under President Donald Trump.

The council voted unanimously last Thursday to allot $300,000 in taxpayer money to establish the network, which will be comprised of legal, educational and faith-based nonprofit groups. The idea behind the network is to not only help immigrants fight deportation with legal assistance, but to help protect children and assets if parents are deported, according to the Sacramento Bee.

The reality is there is a lot of fear, said councilman Eric Guerra. We can alleviate that fear.

Guerra explained that much of the legal assistance would go toward helping families establish legal guardianships for their children and powers of attorney to help protect their homes, bank accounts and other assets.

The funds for the network will likely be available as soon as next month.

According to Guerra, who headed the committee to create the network, illegal immigrants are entitled to assistance from the city via taxpayer funds because they also contribute to the local economy and often pay local taxes, such as sales tax and property tax.

Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg acknowledged at the meeting that many people will be upset over the decision, but said, we are not a city that will exchange peoples civil rights for money.

Steinberg also justified the move by citing a study that said illegal immigrants contribute nearly $60 million to Sacramento County governments each year.

More from the Bee:

About 49,000 Sacramento residents are not U.S. citizens, including about 4,100 children, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Thats about 10 percent of citys residents. How many are here illegally is unknown. The census bureau does not ask about legal status.

Steinberg said immigrants with violent criminal records would not be eligible for aid, but those with minor offenses such as DUIs or possession of marijuana would.

The line, to me, is people who are a threat, Steinberg said.

Still, local residents were vocal in their opposition to the move.

I think its disgusting, Jennifer Garets, a board member of Sacramento Republican Women Federated, said. I dont think that taxpayer money should be used to support this. Id rather it be given to the homeless.

In addition to establishing the network for illegal immigrants, the Sacramento city council also voted to strengthen their existing sanctuary city policies by making it illegal for any city employee including police officers to inquire about a residents legal status.

The idea of using taxpayer funds to help illegal immigrants isnt a new idea in California. In fact, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and other major California municipalities have passed similar measures.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. -

The NBC2 Investigators uncovered an unintended consequence because of a crackdown on illegal immigration crimes are going unreported, putting people across Southwest Florida in potential danger.

Some immigrants in Collier County claim they can no longer call 911 because they're worried the call will lead to questions about their immigration status.

I know people who have been raped and don't call the police because they are scared because they are undocumented, DREAMer Sophia said. It definitely causes a lot of identity issues. A lot of people make you feel like you aren't from here, but this is all you know."

Sophia's parents brought her to the United States when she was four. She said the biggest thing that has changed over the last few months is fear.

They are terrified of being deported. They are terrified of a lot of things, Sophia said. "People are scared to talk to the police, and that will create more crime."

People around the area said this happens daily in places like Immokalee, Golden Gate City, and Naples Manor. But attorneys argue that there's no need to be worried because victims are protected in these types of cases.

Whether you're here legally or not," said attorney Jeff Van Zandt, "If you are the victim of a crime, that's why the sheriff's do their job, and they do a good job of it."

Van Zandt said the number of people participating in court cases is dwindling. Immigrants are afraid of taking part in the justice center.

It just is a shame that they are even afraid to go and take part in the justice system that is there to protect them in the first place."

Collier County is one of only two agencies in Florida that participates in ICEs 287(g) program. The program allows trained local deputies to act as immigration agents. If a deputy thinks someone in jail is here illegally, they can send them to ICE for deportation.

With the ICE agreement, it's definitely not making it any easier for people to come out and talk, Sophia said.

The sheriffs office insists deputies wont target victims or witnesses of crimes.

Sheriff Kevin Rambosk would not sit down for an interview, but sent a statement saying in part, "we conduct ongoing community engagement efforts to reassure witnesses and victims of crime that they will not be targeted by law enforcement based on their immigration status."

Sophia said that reassurance isn't working.

I think that if Collier County really wanted to help keep our streets safe, they wouldn't create more insecurity, Sophia said.

A visa called a U-visa is available to immigrants who are victims of certain crimes and may be able to help law enforcement in the investigation of that crime.
