Cocaine, meth seized from 4 illegal Mexicans in North Carolina

Whiteville NC, Columbus County Court House

North Carolina is having problems with illegal Mexicans selling drugs which could be taken care of by securing the U.S./Mexico border! Deporting illegals without securing the border does not work as you can see Gabriel Castaneda was deported less than three months ago, and made it back to Columbus County. We also need a like Ariz. immigration law. In the case below of these illegal Mexicans would it be cheaper on we the taxpayer to have used my “How To Clean Up Immigration For DUMMIES” instead of waiting until these 4 illegal Mexicans get arrested for Cocaine, meth!

Sheriff’s detectives, accompanied by seven SBI agents and five officers from Duplin County, recently seized two kilos of powder cocaine and 88 grams of “crystal” methamphetamine near Whiteville.

The cocaine, still wrapped in heavy plastic and duct tape, is valued at $200,000 if sold on the streets. The methamphetamine would sell for “at least” $9,000.

Gabriel Castaneda, 30; Angel Castaneda, 30; Rodrigo Barron, 28; and Salvador Pineda Gutierrez, 19 – all citizens of Mexico and determined to be in the United States illegally – were arrested.

“We determined this week that all four of the Mexicans were illegally in this country. Gabriel Castaneda was deported less than three months ago, and made it back to Columbus County,” Sheriff’s Drug Detective Lt. Steve Worthington said. Keep reading at SOURCE

JOBS Biggest Problem Facing Our Economy

 

The Obama administration keeps spending bigtime while Americans are losing their homes. Bigger government they say we need! When in fact we need to cut taxes not create more taxes. The corporations are hoarding cash because they don’t know what will come their way when Obama is finished with his big spending spree. Obama you need to understand government jobs is not what America needs, we need private sector jobs. I don’t agree with The Huffington Post on many issues but on Jobs Huffington got it mostly right and I agree that education, training and infrastructure would help years down the road, but we need jobs today and less spending by the government. Cut Taxes, Not Raise Taxes!

At a time when the economy is stuck in a deep and unusual malaise corporations are hoarding cash, unemployment is stubbornly high, credit is tight, and most of us can’t figure out how to make ends meet each month we need a bold plan of action. Yet our policymakers are acting as if everything is okay and the economy requires a few minor adjustments. Instead of big thinkers running the show, we have fine tuners.

A failure of imagination, a lack of persistence and a deadly complacency is eviscerating our economy. And millions of Americans who are either out of work, struggling to keep their jobs or relying on their savings to make ends meet are paying the price. If nothing else, let’s start with jobs.SOURCE

Bernanke Says Economy Uncertain

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the economic outlook is “unusually uncertain,” prompting investors to seek safety in the dollar.

    The U.S. initial jobless claims rose to 445,000 last week from 429,000 in the prior period

,according to a Bloomberg News survey before a Labor Department report today. SOURCE

The Bush Tax Cuts

President Obama and congressional Democrats are blaming their trillion-dollar budget deficits on the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003. Letting these tax cuts expire is their answer. Yet the data flatly contradict this “tax cuts caused the deficits” narrative.

Mr. Obama asserted in his January State of the Union Address that by the time he took office, “we had a one-year deficit of over $1 trillion and projected deficits of $8 trillion over the next decade. Most of this was the result of not paying for two wars, two tax cuts, and an expensive prescription drug program.”

In short, it’s all President Bush’s fault. But Mr. Obama’s assertion fails on three grounds.

First, the wars, tax cuts and the prescription drug program were implemented in the early 2000s, yet by 2007 the deficit stood at only $161 billion. How could these stable policies have suddenly caused trillion-dollar deficits beginning in 2009? SOURCE

Obama’s Fish Stories

The wife and I was at Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina fishing having a great day when all of a sudden I hooked  a large bass. I had a fight on my hand as I worked to pull in the fish, when I had the fish near the shore it got off. You guess it, I began telling my wife that I had caught a record size bass and a bigger fish than she had. She told me to show her the record size bass.  This made me think of how true an article that I had read earlier was.

Obama’s Economic Fish Stories

Such statements hurt his credibility.
On the anniversary of the stimulus bill, Mr. Obama declared, “It is largely thanks to the Recovery Act that a second Depression is no longer a possibility.” Yet his Council of Economic Advisers just estimated the stimulus bill’s effect on GDP at its trough was 1%-2%.

    The effect of the stimulus was puny.

On his recent “Recovery Tour,” Mr. Obama boasted,

“The stimulus bill prevented the unemployment rate from “getting up to . . . 15%.” But the president’s own chief economic adviser, Christina Romer, has estimated that the stimulus bill reduced peak unemployment by one percentage point—i.e., since the unemployment rate peaked at 10.1%, it prevented the unemployment rate from rising to just over 11%. 

    Mr. Obama claims that the stimulus bill was several times more potent than his chief economic adviser estimates.

The president badly needs to make more realistic pronouncements.

    But at the very least, his staff needs to avoid putting these exaggerations on the teleprompter.
