AGUADILLA, Puerto Rico - Border Patrol Agents from Ramey Sector took custody and processed five aliens from the Dominican Republic this past Sunday.
The subjects were involved in a maritime vessel landing that included support from the Puerto Rico Police Department's Joint Forces of Rapid Action.
Agents from FURA confirmed an 18 foot blue and white vessel with undocumented migrants had landed in the Punta Aguila area of Combate, Cabo Rojo, to which Ramey Station agents responded to the scene and took custody of four undocumented Dominican nationals.
The four individuals were immediately transported to Ramey Station for processing. One additional undocumented alien, who was severely dehydrated, was transported by a FURA EMT unit to the Metropolitan Hospital of Cabo Rojo. Border Patrol agents awaited the individual's hospital release before taking him into custody and proceeding to Ramey Station.
All five subjects were enrolled in the IDENT biometric system and processed for removal proceedings for immigration violations.
One subject, Andres Del Rosario Alayon, has two outstanding warrants with the New York Police Department on narcotics charges regarding heroin smuggling. Andres Del Rosario will be processed for attempted re-entry after deportation after an aggravated felony conviction.
This case, as with many other instances, demonstrates a joint working effort by federal and state agencies on the island to secure operational control against illegal aliens who attempt to penetrate U.S. borders. As the U.S.Border Patrol scales up enforcement and interdiction efforts, it relies on inter agency cooperation to enforce immigration and criminal law in United State's territorial waters.
In July 2006, CBIG was formally created to unify efforts of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Office of Air & Marine (A&M), Office of Field Operations (OFO), and Office of Border Patrol (OBP), the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) the United States Attorney’s Office, District of Puerto Rico, and Puerto Rico Police Joint Forces of Rapid action (FURA) in their common goal of securing Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands against illegal maritime traffic and gaining control of our nation's Caribbean borders.

The dude with the outstanding warrant is an idiot and shout be jailed.
On another note, Don't Puerto Ricans feel bad that your territory is mentioned as a U.S border? I mean really, being the only colony standing in the western hemisphere isn't bad enough. Stop trying to be free loaders and have pride for once.

Hey danny,
So I grew up in Bushwick, 90's. So at that point many of those same porto-rocks moved to buskwick. Yeah they are a "bad" group. Yet I've been to PR and outside "la perla" there aren't too many thungz. Anyway when I was growing up in Bushwick the few hard working/quiet latinos were dominican. Same for neighboring Williamsburg, I had and still have family there. Now both neighborhoods are full of yupies.
On a different note though many Dominicans in Washingting Heights remind me of those Puerto Ricans that I was accustomed to in Bushwick. I must say it varies from block to block but there many shady ones. On second though it isn't as bad as bushwick was but still I would like to see better.
when my parents came in the 70's they went to Lower East Side/Bowery/Alphabet CIty and then jumped to Brooklyn rather than Wash. Heights. I still don't know why though, at time though Wash Heights wasn't what it is today.

Gloma,
Those Dominicans in Corona are low.
i know a few good families that live there but they are few and far in between.
Wash Heights today is better than Corona I would say, the dominican population that is. Yet there aren't many in Corona, but on average I believe the previous comment still holds.
I judge by how many I people standing on the corner of the bodega past 11 o'clock, lol. Oh and how many baggies i spot while walking.

That's why I love Guliani and Bloomberg.
Most, those that are able bodied, recipients of welfare have to clean parks, train stations, streets, etc.
I would see the "cleaning gangs" more a couple of years ago, lately I don't but I'm sure they're out there.
i recall a couple years back that the federal gov't was looking towards NYC for advice on social programs.

Chica,
i love my people and i do belive that we work hard, the majority. Although not enough in higher education/tertiary education. (dean of engineering in columbia, is a good example but still not enough)
But all it takes is a few rotten apples to ruin the bunch.
Ask Muslim's, they may know something about that. Albeit, an extreme example.

Gloma,
I've asked before but perhaps you didn't see the post.
What exactly do you do concerning fuel cells???
I currently work at a National Laboratory working on catalyst for fuel cell applications, both mobile and stationary, although the mobile applications in the short run were blown out of the water due to secretary of energy steven chu's recommendations.
I look forward to your response.
Oh and dominican chic, I second what gloma says ( as usual, although I disagree a bit with social programs). I am going through a similar situation as he although I am still young and am still learning the ropes. But we as dominicans know what is going on, I grew up around bad influences and had to pull my self up. I had found my self in the position of, do i sell drugs or become a runner to get some money to buy some new sneakers and other things that I want or do I stay in school hang in there and hopefully the hard work will pay off in the long run. thank god I chose the late

cont,
I was able to graduate from a specialized technical high school and then graduate summa cum laude with a double major from college, and at 23 I am working as a scientist for a National Laboratory. I am not tooting my own horn but rather stating what can be accomplished if one chooses the right path. And yes I do tutor and try to get younger latinos/african americans to become interested in sciences. But this path isn't easy, very rarely is there instant gratification as many from my generation seek. Rather hard work and patience are required, oh and a semblance of common sense, although intelligence is always good.
i hope one day to go to DR (once better established) and become a professor. I don't quite know if there are tenure positions down there but I hope to find out.

Anyway, point being we could do better.
I know I am doing my part, gloma too from the sounds of it and hopefully others too.
unfortunately there aren't too many professional latino organizations for the sciences. There are many for business and engineering but not many for chemistry or biology and much less physics. I hope to change that one day or am willing to help organize promote.
Oh and Chica many, I dare say more than or very close to 1/2, of corner store are owned by Yemenis, yes Yemenis. Across all neighborhoods all over NYC a lot are from Yemen. Go figure????
There is also this food cart on 6th ave and about 52nd street that I always go to after a long night of clubbing to get food. I go to the halal cart to get food (no particular reason, other than its good and cheap) and this guy has a line that stretches around the block, making dough, and he's yeminis too. And he tells me most halal carts/pinchos carts around the city are bengali or yeminis.

So the catalyst I develop are in the reforming portion as well. My group develops WGS catalysts to reduce CO in from syn gas after reforming and PROX catalyst as well, as to not damage the valuable Pt found in PEM's in addition resulting H2 as you well know goes to PEM fuel cell.
Yet our studies are very fundamental (DOE/National Lab) very little practical applications. Current catalyst are so well optimized and are inexpensive. We try to get exotic and use noble metals to enhance activity, but noble metals are very rare and thus expensive.

Na, they can stay as is, 4 million more is a little too much for us, don't you think?

Dominican Chic,
i see what your saying. but ...... well it is what it is.
Tele,
Oh, no we don't need more ppl. It's hard enough with the immigration problem we have now we don't need to add 4 mill boricuas to the mix. I like them don't get me wrong but I like haitians too and there are already too many of them. We really need to take care of our own first, I see too many poor dominicans.
And I really think the US can give more to PR than DR can give, thats a fact.
Yet I wonder what would happen?????
