An e-mail graced our news inbox last night advertising Illegal Alien Report, “the first public anonymous publishing service for reporting on illegal alien activity in the United States.” It appears to be a sort of Wikipedia for information on illegal immigrants that you may find cavorting around your neighborhood. It’s great if you feel compelled to report the presence of undocumented people but are too wimpy to call up the authorities and whine to them like a normal xenophobe.
So far, the site’s database looks pretty anemic—though it’s not limited to illegal immigrants. There’s a leader of Basque separatist group ETA, “Indian underworld boss Abu Salem,” and the “secret nanny” of the Nevada first family.
There’s also a video section that includes clips from the Colbert Report, South Park and Red Dawn.
In more consequential immigration news, the DJC reports that Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (or “ICE”) is renting a facility in South Waterfront. The federal government signed a 13-year lease for office space in the neighborhood where nobody lives, triggering a 74,000-square foot expansion project that will result in something like this:
ICE currently works out of the historic federal building at NW Broadway and Glisan. That was the site of a protest against ICE’s “Secure Communities” fingerprinting program last month.
Wackjob eh, well this “whackjob” got a site that only required a couple weeks of development time on CNN during the first month of it’s existence. Sounds like this “whackjob” knows what he’s doing. It does appear to be a Wikipedia of Illegal Aliens, but its really more of a Rip Off Report for Newsvine style collective journalism.
Good eye on the video section. I aim to develop that, the news section, and the directory into the most entertaining, up to date, and complete resource for immigration and border security information on the internet. If you want to know more hit me up, I live in Portland.
Did you get my email about my other website TerriMoultonHorman.com where you can tell the world what you think of Terri Horman? That site was operational just a couple days after drunkenly buying a domain name on the 4th of July.
