Undocumented Immigrants and Court of AppealsWednesday, October 29, 2008
Greetings, Cape Girardeau police officers stumbled upon a cache of undocumented immigrants on Monday, when they attempted to serve a misdemeanor warrant. According to Sgt. Barry Hovis, officers received information that the man they were trying to serve would be in a white uniform, at a certain location on Kingshighway. When they arrived, they found alot of people matching that description. They never found the man the warrant was on, Hovis said, but they did find that all of the people in white uniforms were undocumented immigrants. The group was detained and police contacted ICE, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, who said they were interested in pursuing the arrest. Local police do not have authority to arrest undocumented immigrants unless ICE instructs them to do so, since its a federal matter. In September, Cape Girardeau police said ICE has been more willing to pursue charges over the last several months for these kinds of arrests. The following people were arrested: Garcia Zarate-Santiago, 35, Alberto Lorenzo, 33, of 103 N. Clark St., No. 304, Emilio Carmona, 46, Rosario C. Goveche, 19, Maria Ventura-Santos, 28, Rosaria Rendon-Galbon, 23, Paulina Perez-Hernandez, Paulino V. Cruz, 24, Leonel Carmona Soriano, 23, of 3019 Themis St., No. 4, Jose L. Serano-Moreno, 38, David Lopez-Jimenes, 18, of N. Clark St. No. 303, and Elva Chavez Hernandez, 36.
In other news, I'm off to watch some court sessions of the Missouri court of Appeals for the Eastern District of Missouri. They will hold their Southern division docket at the university today at 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and noon, at the Glenn Auditorium . These sessions are open to the public. This is the fourth time the court has held one of these sessions in Cape.

Lets not forget the need to change the primary language to spanish or that would be another undue hardship for these people who are trying to circumvent traditional methods of gaining U.S.
citizenship.
As the law stands any children born to these illegals is immediately entitled to the duties , rights , & privileges of a U.S. citizen...
This story is so sad. We must do more to help these poor peole get documents.
Here they showed up at the border, and there was no one there from the US Government, at their chosen border crossing, to issue them thier documents, it wasn't their fault.
We need a bill in Congress to hire more document issurers, and scatter them all along the border so that went these fine folks hop over the fence, or, get their backs wet crossing the Rio Grande, that there is someone from the US government on the other side to issue them their documents.
It is sad, that in a day such as ours, that there are those wandering around inside the US without documents, ergo, "undocumented immigrants." We must do more, we must provide more funding, to make sure that everyone crossing our border illegally, er, I mean, inadvertantly, should be able to receive their documents right then and there. Perhaps, if they sent in a postcard from Meh-he-co before they planned to enter our country, requesting documentation, we could send them a packet of documents, complete with a falsified Social Security card, drivers license, and American birth certificate, so that it would make their egress into the United States a pleasureable venture.
Then, again, perhaps we could adopt the harsher methods of the Communist Chinese in dealing with American corporations and scum like Allan Greenspan, who entice these folks here with promises of jobs, in a globalist scheme to drive the wages of Americans into the toilet.
Yep, that latter thought works for me.
Perhaps if this city did something about landlords renting to illegal immigrants...?
I doubt the undocumented immigrants all just happened to just be hanging out wearing white uniforms so the real question is what the "certain location" was? And more importantly who owned/operated this location? Those are the only people actually deserving of arrest in this incident.
Without cracking down on the employers the only thing that will change is the names of the illegal immigrants wearing the white uniforms come next month.
