Arizona Motels Harboring Illegal Aliens

Thirteen owners of six motels on Main Street in Mesa, Arizona were brought up on charges of conspiracy to harbor illegal immigrants

Authorities said the owners rented to undercover federal agents posing as migrant smugglers and coached them on concealing their activities. They would tell the agents to register under false names, rent multiple rooms and where to park their vehicles in less obvious places.

Owners of the Kiva Lodge, Hiway Host, Majestic Guest Inn, Westernaire, Centebar Suites and Apartments and the Roadrunner helped organized the human smuggling operation. We have of course removed all of these hotels from AllStays.com. We also should note that the Roadrunner has since been sold and the new owners were not involved in the smuggling.

As the U.S. government continues to virtually ignore illegal immigration and the widespread negative effects it has on their country, Arizona is the busiest illegal entry point along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. Southern Arizona ranchers need to bear arms just to go to their mailbox and not get killed on an average day.

Hotel Bombings in Amman, Jordan

Three hotels were bombed almost simultaneously in Amman, Jordan on Wednesday, November 9th. A bomber at the Radisson SAS hotel may have walked into a hall where a wedding reception was getting underway. Another bomber blew himself up in the glass and marble lobby of the Grand Hyatt. And at the Days Inn, a suicide bomber may have detonated his explosives early when he was stopped for questioning by security guards. These three hotels and now others are under intense security. The threat has lead to increased security at other hotels in high profile cities around the world. If you are going to affected hotels, please call ahead to get the current status.

Riots in France Disturb Peaceful Tourism

Tourists are still going to France, but are now being urged by more and more countries to avoid riot areas, especially at night.

The list of foreign governments urging tourists to exercise caution in their visits to France is growing, with Australia, Austria, Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Denmark, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, United States, Russia and Hungary all have issued warnings to avoid riot-hit areas.

The best tip right now is to do research on your hotel location compared to the news reports of the riots, making sure you are in a still safe area.

Violence has not reached major tourist sights like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and other museums, and Versailles to the west.

According to the U.S. Embassy's warning about the "extremely violent" riots, mentioned that the closest many tourists may get to the riots is the airport train ride from Charles de Gaulle into the city. This service may be disrupted at times when it passes near the riot areas. Alternatives are the buses and taxis.
