From the LA Times: The U.S. Supreme Court refused Wednesday to block the deportation of a Chicago woman and thousands of other immigrants who before 2010 were not warned by their lawyers when they pleaded guilty to serious crimes and were targeted for removal.
The decision highlights the stark consequences for noncitizens of having a criminal record. The law calls for mandatory deportation for immigrants, including lawful residents, who have an "aggravated felony" on their record. The term can describe a variety of state and federal offenses.
Immigration lawyers say tens of thousands of immigrants, many of them lawful permanent residents, plead guilty each year to crimes that may lead to deportation. In many instances, they were not warned of the consequences of such a plea.
Three years ago, the high court extended relief to some immigrants when it ruled that they could seek a new trial if their lawyers had failed to warn them of the dire consequences of a guilty plea.
But in a 7-2 ruling Wednesday, the justices refused to apply the ruling retroactively to cases of immigrants who had unwittingly pleaded guilty before 2010.
In 2003, she agreed to plead guilty to two counts of mail fraud for what the government said was her minor role in an insurance fraud. Her son and several others staged an auto accident, and Chaidez received $1,200 from an insurance company for a claim of an injury that was false.
She was sentenced to probation and was required to help repay $22,000, the total amount of the insurance fraud. She completed her sentence and had paid her restitution by 2004.
When she later applied for naturalization, she denied having been convicted of a crime. Only then did she learn that pleading guilty to mail fraud involving more than $10,000 meant that she was subject to deportation. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-court-deportation-20130221,0,765820.story
So, let's see...She came to the United States illegally, committed a crime, pled guilty to the crime then lied about it when applying to become a U.S. citizen.
And the reason why we shouldn't deport this illegal thug? She should be deported tomorrow, and the hell with her family. Maybe they can follow her down to South or Central America and live with her down there.
But one thing is clear, she needs to be deported as fast as possible and then move onto the next case.

I've been wanting to try this place since they opened last year but I never had a chance to try. But yes, I finally went. Every time I passed by this place, it's pretty empty here and this place is small. Of course when we were here, we were the only customers.
I can tell they don't use pre-made store bought stuff, everything was homemade, which is great. But somehow, the food tasted fine, but nothing amazed me. I think I was little disappointed because all the reviews I've read was saying this place is really good, so I expected really good food, but it wasn't.
menu (Jan, 2013)
Complementary bread (pizza crust/pita type of bread)
Spaghetti alle Polpettine $8.25
Spaghetti with meatball. Pasta was al dente, and it was hand made. Each meatball was a bite size.
Frutti di Mare (10") $13
tomato, mozzarella, calamari, shrimp, clams pizza, thin crust.

Chef's Pick lean cuisine frozen dinner
To contact us Click HERE
Frozen dinner used to be not healthy and high calories, totally "a must avoid" food. But not anymore. Lean cuisine's chef's pick was tasty and not only that, each meal I had was under 300 calories. Since each meal is small portion, I had both at the same time. I know... but hey, that's still total under 550 calories. Not bad for lunch!
Ranchero braised beef - It wasn't spicy at all. The meat was very tender, the sauce was flavorful, mashed chipotle sweet potato was yummy.
Chicken makhani - cooking time on direction says 5 minutes, but the rice was still frozen so I microwaved 2 more minutes, total 7 minutes. Again, this indian-style tomato sauce was also flavorful.

Kenny Clutch No Angel
To contact us Click HERE
Kudo's to John Smith of the LVRJ for not bowing to the line that Kenny Cherry aka Kenny Clutch, the thug rapper who helped kill a taxi driver and his passenger.
From the LVRJ: The bullet Kenny Cherry Jr. courted left the barrel years ago.
It arrived early Thursday morning on Las Vegas Boulevard and put the 27-year-old hustler with delusions of grandeur in the national spotlight for half a news cycle.
While police investigated leads and identified a suspect in the shooting, Cherry's father, Kenneth Cherry Sr., held a news conference Saturday and defended his son, calling him a victim and a good kid who only played a tough guy in YouTube videos.
Cherry Jr. called himself "Kenny Clutch," and published reports have referred to him as an "aspiring rapper" who delivered uninspiring ditties via YouTube that celebrated a thug life teeming with pimps, whores, drugs, guns and money.
He knew plenty about all of that. According to court documents, Cherry was a stone pimp who beat his women and spent the money they earned turning tricks in Strip casinos. He was fond of weed and narcotic cough syrup and his reflection in a nightclub mirror....
Cherry had a few minor brushes with local law enforcement - speeding tickets in which he gave the officer a California driver's license with an Oakland address - but his lack of convictions in Nevada don't tell the story. Despite having no visible means of income, he drove a Maserati and stayed in a $2,900-a-month condominium at the Metropolis at 360 E. Desert Inn Road.
Maybe knowledge of his job slipped the mind of his attorney Vicki Greco when she told a reporter Cherry was no gang member and, "He was a loyal, dependable friend, and we at the law firm will miss him."
Yeah, he was a real charmer. But I'm not sure whether the mother of one of his children would agree. Before she ran away, Mr. Dependable Friend pimped her out and beat her often....
In high school, she excelled in softball and was an A student. After graduating, she earned an associate's degree at a nearby community college and took university classes, but in 2008 she met Cherry through a friend.
After encountering him again at a Strip nightclub, she struck up a relationship she didn't imagine would lead to a life of prostitution in Las Vegas. Maybe it's because the rapping Cherry seemed so generous, so loyal and dependable.
"He promised me the world and I believed every bit of it," she recalled in 2012. "He invited me to move to Las Vegas and 'check it out.' I felt like I had nothing else solid going on and figured it might be fun to live someplace else. I was naive. I had faith and confidence in him and that he wanted a future with me. I did not know at the time that my future would consist of prostituting myself, getting beaten up by Ken on a regular basis, and being arrested and going to jail 27 times.
" I don't know how to explain how it happened in a way that would make sense to anyone. He said it was 'no big deal' and 'easy money.' "
Before long, she was working six nights a week. Her evening quota was $1,500. Come home without it and face the consequences.
"Kenny took every penny I made," she said....
She wrote that Cherry, "physically assaulted me, pushing me into walls and hitting me. I packed up some belongings and drove back to my family ... Along with the physical abuse, he has consistently been verbally abusive during our relationship."
It shouldn't have been surprising. That's what pimps do to their women. The former couple also sparred legally over custody and visitation issues involving their young daughter.
It's likely Greco would know something about that. She not only represented Cherry, but according to court records she also was the woman's criminal lawyer. Maybe it slipped the attorney's mind while she was grieving over the loss of Mr. Dependable Friend. http://www.lvrj.com/news/don-t-cry-for-kenny-clutch-an-affliction-waiting-to-happen-192829941.html
As I wrote a couple days ago, a friend of mine in the know, knew Cherry/Clutch was a pimp. You don't make that kind of money Cherry/Clutch by selling drugs on the Strip, you do it my pimping out women.
While it may hurt the family that cherry/Clutch is no longer on the earth, I think the women Cherry/Clutch pimped out are celebrating the freedom they now have.
Meanwhile, the liberal Las Vegas Sun runs an article glorifying this thug: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/feb/23/family/
