BOSTON, MA – The former New England Area Port Director for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, was convicted today by a jury sitting in the U.S. District Court in Boston, of encouraging and inducing an illegal alien to remain in the United States.
[…]
During the 6-day trial before the Honorable Douglas Woodlock, the Government’s evidence proved that HENDERSON employed an illegal alien to clean her home while she was the New England Area Port Director. Another Customs and Border Protection Officer warned HENDERSON in 2006 that the foreign national was illegally in the United States and that HENDERSON should not continue to employ her. According to the evidence presented at trial, HENDERSON ignored her colleague’s warning and continued to employ the illegal alien for more than two years.
In May 2008, the illegal alien was confronted and agreed to cooperate with investigators of the Office of Professional Responsibility at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. While cooperating, the illegal alien told HENDERSON that she needed help to become legal. HENDERSON was surreptitiously recorded telling her, “you have to be careful ‘cause they will deport you. Be careful.” HENDERSON further advised her, “if you leave they won’t let you back . . . you can’t leave, don’t leave . . . ‘cause once you leave you will never be back.”
As the New England Area Port Director, HENDERSON was responsible for the inspection and admission of foreign nationals who sought entry into the United States, and for preventing the entry of illegal aliens into the United States through all of the ports of entry including Logan Airport.
HENDERSON faces up to 5 years imprisonment, 3 years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine. Judge Woodlock scheduled sentencing for June 17, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of Professional Responsibility. It was investigated by Agent John H. Coleman with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Office of Professional Responsibility. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane Freniere of Ortiz’s Public Corruption Unit.

It’s sad but what the democrats have done in terms of advancing people because of their race or sexuality as they have done has hurt everyone, particularly women and minorities. Unfortunatly this has caused many of us to be distrustful of any women or minorities in or seeking positions of power. its a competence thing.
I am getting calls from Meg Whitman and I like her but my instincts say lookout! I cant help it that is what all of this has done to me. I see Sarah Palin and I like her but again, that nagging, lookout, is always in the back of my mind. this is one of the main reasons that we are where we are today. Democrats looking at, judging and promoting people based on skin color or sexuality/preference etc. Democrats must really hate MLK cause they have taken his message and done just the opposite.
Of course that being said I have just about as much confidence in the white bread fair weather patriots in DC as well. But them I know and can spot the rat easily. and when I call them out no one screams, he hurt me, he hurt me! Well almost no one.

RE: Sarah Palin:
Mrs. Bulldog and I just finished reading, “Going Rouge,” the other day. I trust Sarah Palin more than any other politician out there. And, that’s pretty rare, coming from a political critic like myself.
Cheers
P.S. – Sorry your comment was in the Awaiting Moderation queue for so long. I didn’t notice it until just a couple of minutes ago.
