Corzine's panel backs moratorium on raids on undocumented immigrants by Jeff Diamanat/The Star-Ledger Monday March 30, 2009, 11:55 AM A panel appointed by Gov. Jon Corzine to examine immigration policies in New Jersey today issued a number of recommendations handling undocumented immigrants, ranging from a moratorium on raids to creating an immigrant welcome center. The panel also said the state should allow undocumented immigrants in New Jersey to drive legally, though only if the U.S. Department of Homeland Security approves. Corzine expressed less personal support for the driving proposal as he released the report at a news conference in Jersey City. Other parts of the report ...

New-born babies are now tested for tuberculosis in UK hospitals. TB was the biggest killer in this country during the 19th century. It had nearly been eradicated. But Third World immigrants have brought it back. The first duty of Government is to protect the population. But for sixty years successive governments have been neglecting this responsibility and exposing innocent members of the public to deadly diseases. They should have reversed the idea and not allowed immigrants into the country without proper health checks - all should have been screened for TB. The Daily Mail of 5th July 2001 described Newham, London as TB capital of the West. It had 108 cases per 100,000 people which over ...

Shooting in Butte , Montana Butte, Montana – November 5, 2007 Shotgun preteen vs. illegal alien* Home Invaders: Two illegal aliens, Raphael Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home -alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home . It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine. Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun. Resindez was the first to get up to the second ...

There has been much discussion about the advisability of letting in more foreign engineers to work in American high-tech companies. Here is a report from an American engineer who wishes to remain anonymous. The well-publicized downturn in the semiconductor industry finally took its toll on my company and I was laid off on July 1st. Since then I have been looking for work. Yesterday’s interview for an engineering position at a Milpitis chip company had quite an effect on me. All the engineers there are foreigners from East Asia. I believe the interview was an exercise in futility, an act of going through the motions. One of the interviewers asked me how I would feel about being ...

Blacks Moving to the South

Connie Williams’ move to Greensboro from New Jersey two years ago was hardly an isolated statistic. Both North and South Carolina were among the top 10 “influx” states gaining in African American migration from 1995 to 2000, according to Brookings Institution scholar William H. Frey’s analysis of the 2000 U.S. Census. And cities such as Chicago, New York and Los Angeles lost black residents in significant numbers for the first time in the 20th century. This is a reversal of the 40-year trend of “great migration” out of the South, which created the “urban” American city documented in Nicholas Lemann’s 1991 book “The Promised Land: The Great ...

U.S. to blame for much of Mexico violence - Clinton

By Arshad Mohammed MEXICO CITY, March 25 (Reuters) - An "insatiable" appetite in the United States for illegal drugs is to blame for much of the violence ripping through Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday. Clinton acknowledged the U.S. role in Mexico's vicious drug war as she arrived in Mexico for a two-day visit where she discussed U.S. plans to ramp up security on the border with President Felipe Calderon. A surge in drug gang killings to 6,300 last year and fears the violence could seep over the border has put Mexico's drug war high on President Barack Obama's agenda, after years of Mexico feeling that Washington was neglecting a ...

U.S. To Crack Down On Mexico Border Violence

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House unveiled a new effort on Tuesday to crack down on the two-way smuggling of drugs, guns and money across its border with Mexico, expressing President Barack Obama's concern that criminal violence could spill over to U.S. soil. "The president is concerned by the increased level of violence ... and the impact that it is having on communities on both sides of the border," the White House said a day before Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leaves on a trip to Mexico. The new U.S. strategy seeks to fight the growing power and violence of Mexican cartels, which ship billions of dollars worth of illegal drugs into the United States and bring ...

Auguste Comte, the founder of sociology, is said to have proclaimed, "Demography is destiny." So you might think that annual release of the latest birth statistics by the federal National Center for Health Statistics might engender some careful scrutiny in the press. But you would be W-R-O-N-G. Instead, the New York Times covered Births: Preliminary Data for 2007 in its "Health" section. The insightfulness of Main Stream Media analysis is displayed in this quote from the NYT’s article ’07 U.S. Births Break Baby Boom Record [by Erik Eckholm, March 19, 2009]: "But in contrast with the culturally transforming postwar boom, when a smaller population of ...

Everyone in the world knows that when a dog bows in front of you, that is an invitation to play, Hardly anyone knows, that in human body language, a hand over the mouth is a "No!" Here Obama is being pressed by a wetback group for anmesty. His words are, "We're appointing people...doing studies...blah, blah, blah." But his body language is saying, "No to amnesty." Obama is not stupid, and he knows anmesty is going to hurt blacks far worse than whites. Permanently hurt them. A tipping point has been reached on amnesty. It will never pass. The last time it was tried, Nancy Pelosi said people were calling her house saying they'd kill her and her ...

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Hundreds of thousands of New Mexicans will receive a one-time payment of $250 through the national stimulus plan President Obama signed in February. The payment will be distributed to about 400,000 people who receive benefits from Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Veterans Affairs or the Railroad Retirement Board. Cindy Padilla, who serves as Aging and Long-Term Services Department secretary, says the payment will help provide an economic boost to the elderly or those living with a disability. A person eligible through more than one program will receive only one payment. The installment will be sent by late May and will arrive separately from usual ...

On his very full plate, immigration was one issue that President Obama had yet to take on - until yesterday, when he discussed it with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. At a town hall meeting in southern California yesterday, Obama renewed his support for comprehensive reform, including a possible path to citizenship for law-abiding people who entered the country illegally, along the lines of the bill that stalled in Congress in 2007. According to the White House account of yesterday's one-hour closed session, it was "a robust and strategic meeting" in which Obama announced he will go to Mexico next month to meet President Calderón and discuss, among other issues, ...

Tom Tancredo At American University: Maybe It Is About Race By Cooper Sterling Former Congressman Tom Tancredo delivered a speech to an overflow student audience at American University February 24, sponsored by a promising new collegiate organization—Youth for Western Civilization. Tancredo is rightly a hero to all immigration reform patriots. But at American University, in a clumsy attempt to appease the overwhelmingly unsympathetic students—idealistic American proponents of a multicultural, multiracial, pluralistic society; a sizable contingent of young non-Westerners—Tancredo, flustered at times, struggled to define his message.[Watch YouTube clips here and here.] ...

EXCLUSIVE: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently told a group of both legal and illegal immigrants and their families that enforcement of existing immigration laws, as currently practiced, is "un-American." The speaker, condemning raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, referred to the immigrants she was addressing as "very, very patriotic."

CNSNews.com) - Facing a Justice Department investigation of his department’s practices, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told CNSNews.com that his deputies do not racially profile people, that they enforce federal immigration laws in keeping with the training they received from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and that his Democratic critics in the U.S. Congress, who called for the Justice Department to investigate him, are politically motivated. Arpaio's department, like many other local law enforcement agencies around the country, has entered into an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division under what ...

By MICHELLE ROBERTS, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 29 mins ago America's detention system for immigrants has mushroomed in the last decade, a costly building boom that was supposed to sweep up criminals and ensure that undocumented immigrants were quickly shown the door. Instead, an Associated Press computer analysis of every person being held on a recent Sunday night shows that most did not have a criminal record and many were not about to leave the country — voluntarily or via deportation. An official Immigration and Customs Enforcement database, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, showed a U.S. detainee population of exactly 32,000 on the evening of Jan. 25. ...

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Graciela Barrios, an undocumented immigrant with few resources, has long relied on the county health clinic for the advice, medication and tests that have kept her diabetes under control. But next month, Barrios and thousands like her will be on their own, and many more people across the nation face the same fate. Bowing to recession-related budget pressures, Sacramento County recently took the drastic step of cutting non-emergency health services for illegal immigrants. Contra Costa County, on the east side of San Francisco Bay, will vote on a similar measure Tuesday. Local health systems in other states are facing similar decisions as health officials find ...

Vikings were 'model immigrants who lived happily alongside Ancient Britons' By Niall Firth Last updated at 1:42 PM on 13th March 2009 For more than a thousand years they have had a reputation for raping, pillaging and engaging in violent conquests. But new research suggests that this violent image of the Vikings may be a little unfair. In fact, some academics claim that the Norsemen were 'model immigrants' who lived side-by-side in relative harmony with the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic locals. In 793 the Vikings launched their first brutal raid on England, hacking monks to death and terrifying villagers at a priory in Lindisfarne. But they soon became an 'integral part ...

EL PASO - An Illinois congressman who for years has carried the mantle of immigration reform will be in El Paso on Friday to document the testimony of immigrants who say their families have been divided by U.S. immigration policies. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, a Democrat from Chicago, is making El Paso one of 17 stops on his Family Unity outreach tour. He also is visiting cities in California, Florida, Georgia and New Mexico. "Across this country, parents and children, husbands and wives are being torn apart by a system that values quotas over family values, and which undermines our economic security in a time of crisis," Gutierrez said. "Through this effort, Texans are standing ...

The issue was brought to the forefront 6 months ago, when a 3 year old boy was killed inside an ice cream shop after a chain reaction crash that investigators say was caused by an un licensed, illegal immigrant who had a long criminal record. The tragedy prompted the Governor to form a task force to find a way to crack down on driver's like Francis Hernandez. But while the group made of lawmakers, city leaders and state troopers came up with some solutions, they all require money the state ...

President Obama is considering whether to grant emergency requests for National Guard troops along the U.S.-Mexico border, as drug-related violence spirals out of control in the country's southern neighbor. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Thursday that Obama has received "specific requests" for troops along the border, and the president acknowledged to a group of reporters the day before that he was weighing the option. "The president has committed to reviewing those requests," Gibbs said.
