Dear Editor, [Edited for length]

Clevelander's held hostage from inaction of local elected officials!

I have watched your editorials regarding the illegal alien invasion. Illegal aliens first break our laws by coming into our nation without permission and then their actions and words say they have no respect for any of our laws. One can only see this by attending court in Bradley County. You can watch first hand how our District Attorney's office is soft on crime for illegal aliens. Most if not all of illegal aliens charges are dropped. This is if the illegal alien charged with a crime even appears for their court date. Illegal aliens mode of operations are to go somewhere else after they commit a crime and then steal a new name and a new social security number from another American!

Why don't you call and personally thank Steve Bebb for a District Attorney's office that is soft on crime toward illegal aliens in Bradley County. Illegal Alien criminals are treated profoundly different in Chattanooga, especially when Judge Moon sits on the bench.

An example of illegal alien crime is the charred body of Angel Flores (also an illegal alien) found in Polk County, who was brutally killed by Edwin Daniel Almenderez. Mr. Almenderez is a member of the Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13, the deadliest known gang in America according to the FBI. The only way to get out of this gang is by death! Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13 is an international street gang known for the most heinous criminal acts. These acts include killing by machete (beheading), murder, extortion, money laundering, intimidation, arson, muggings, robberies, drug running, drug dealings, document fraud, kidnapping, human smuggling and ID theft to name just a few of their deadly criminal acts. The initiation into this murderous gang involves brutality and beatings. Do parents and teachers in Bradley County and Cleveland, Tennessee know the true nature of this deadly gang? Do they know they are recruiting in local schools (jails), even in the elementary grades?

I attend Bradley Court as many times as I can and I find the District Attorney's office is allowing illegal aliens to get away with murder. There is a virtual revolving door in the Bradley County justice system. A recent case in point on September 24, 2007 when Cesar O'Hara Ortiz and Miaklin Alfredo Rosales Paredes were only charged with aggravated robbery in the case of the murder of Angel Flores. You should have seen the smiles on Cesar O'Hara Ortiz and Miaklin Alfredo Rosales Paredes faces when they were put on felony probation. Illegal aliens are laughing at Americans and the American justice system as they get away with murder. There is an ICE hold on them but will ICE pick them up? If not, guess what? They will be released back in Bradley County, most likely to commit further crimes against citizens in Cleveland, TN and Bradley County.

Remember the tax payer is paying $50 an hour for a translator for all these criminal cases! Remember we are paying to incarcerate these illegal aliens and to defend them for their criminal acts. Remember we are paying with our lives and the lives of our loved ones.

If you think Bradley County is safe then why was a van stopped by police with two Chinese/Mexican people taking illegal aliens somewhere in our town!

Look forward to being one country with Canada, Mexico and United States by 2010 and having the Amero as our money system. Thank President George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, Michael Chertoff from Homeland Security and Carlos Gutierrez from Department of Commerce for being on the Security and Prosperity Partnership committees that will end the United States as a sovereign country by 2010! Thank those Senators and Representatives who support this type of threat to our sovereignty and open borders. Thank Corporations who would replace American workers with illegal alien lawbreakers. Take a look at the new North American Union driver's licenses now being issued to those licensed to drive in North Carolina.

No one will be safe in their homes because we will be invaded by the corrupt government of Mexico and others with all their deadly gangs including the paramilitary group Zetas, the deadly drug cartels, domestic and foreign terrorists and even by illegal aliens freed from our District Attorney's office that looks the other way to crime committed by those illegally in our nation !
