VDARE.COM - http://www.vdare.com/epstein/080519_barr.htm May 19, 2008Bob Barr, Born-Again Libertarian, Backsliding On Mass Immigration By Marcus EpsteinFormer congressman Bob Barr (R.-Georgia) announced last week that he would seek the Libertarian Party nomination for president. With Republican nominee-presumptive John McCain absolutely the last choice for most conservatives, and the "lesser-of-two-evils" argument wearing very thin after eight years of Bush betrayal, the 2008 election provides an excellent opportunity for a conservative third party candidate. The Constitution Party has already nominated Rev. Chuck Baldwin (a former VDARE.COM columnist!) But Barr could be ...

Knife violence in London is now running as high as gun warfare in some US cities, it is claimed today. One of Britain's leading trauma surgeons has told how one in three of his Accident & Emergency patients is now a stabbing victim. Karim Brohi, a consultant surgeon at the Royal London Hospital, said the proportion of injuries from knives and guns was now on a level with - if not greater than - cities such as Los Angeles or Chicago. He described how, on occasions, the wards in his hospital resembled "a war zone" with some patients being treated for their second or third knife wound. And - in a letter to the Evening Standard - Mr Brohi, along with two senior trauma ...

OPEN BORDERS PROVE "WAR ON TERROR" IS SUPERFICIAL (Chuck Baldwin)

The American people were led to believe that America's fine men and women in uniform were sent halfway around the world to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight a "war on terror." Of course, everyone now knows that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the attacks on September 11, 2001. I am sure that most everyone also remembers that the vast majority of the terrorists who participated in those attacks were from Saudi Arabia, not Iraq. Yet, Saudi leaders continue to enjoy the coziest of relationships--and, dare I say, friendships--with President George W. Bush. Does anyone besides me remember when Bush said that countries had to decide whether they would be friends with either ...

WATERLOO, Iowa — In temporary courtrooms at a fairgrounds here, 270 illegal immigrants were sentenced this week to five months in prison for working at a meatpacking plant with false documents. The prosecutions, which ended Friday, signal a sharp escalation in the Bush administration’s crackdown on illegal workers, with prosecutors bringing tough federal criminal charges against most of the immigrants arrested in a May 12 raid. Until now, unauthorized workers have generally been detained by immigration officials for civil violations and rapidly deported. The convicted immigrants were among 389 workers detained at the Agriprocessors Inc. plant in nearby Postville in a raid that ...

The Houston rodeo has rejected a U.S. Justice Department offer to mediate disputes with minority groups who say it needs more minorities in high-ranking positions, doesn't give scholarships to noncitizens in the country legally and has stopped featuring Tejano performers on its main stages. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo does not believe mediation is needed because it promotes diversity and does not engage in discrimination, said chief operating officer Leroy Shafer. "At this point, we see no need to have a Justice Department mediator involved in this," he said. "We've heard (the minority groups') issues. We think they are all pointless." Johnny Mata ...

MEXICO CITY - Homicides related to organized crime jumped 47 percent in 2008, Mexico's attorney general said Friday in a rare confirmation of how bad violence has become. Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora told Radio Formula that 1,378 people have been killed so far this year, compared with 940 in the same period last year. The statistic reflected what many in Mexico already knew: Drug-related killings have soared in recent months. But the details were the first official snapshot on the rise in killings. The Mexican government has been reluctant to release homicide statistics, leaving the public to rely on informal tallies by the news media. Medina Mora said many of the recent ...

Michael Bender of the Palm Beach Post reported from a Barack Obama fundraiser at a local hotel where Obama railed against opponents of illegal immigration on radio and TV: "A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. There's a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year,'' Obama said. "If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up, it's not surprising that would happen." The Post noted that Obama also dismissed the notion that he would have a difficult time wooing Hispanic voters that Sen. Hillary Clinton and Republican Sen. John McCain have claimed as their own.

John McCain claims he has seen the light. In TV appearances, he vows to put immigration enforcement first. On the campaign trail, he offers a perfunctory promise to strengthen border security and emphasizes the need to restore Americans’ trust in their government’s ability to defend the homeland. “I got the ...

(CNSNews.com) - Three Democratic lawmakers who spoke Wednesday about alleged anti-immigrant coverage by conservative media outlets were not aware of a recent State Department travel alert warning Americans about military-like "combat" along the southern U.S. border in Mexico, where Americans are being kidnapped and murdered. "The situation in northern Mexico remains very fluid; the location and timing of future armed engagements there cannot be predicted," said the State Department alert. "Armed robberies and carjackings, apparently unconnected to the narcotics-related violence, have increased in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez. Dozens of U.S. citizens were kidnapped ...

WICHITA, Kan. — Four Hispanic families are suing St. Anne's Catholic School over a policy that requires students to speak English at all times while at school. The lawsuit, filed Monday, calls for an end to the policy and asks for an order barring similar policies at other diocese schools. It seeks the return of one student to the school who was allegedly kicked out for refusing to sign the "English only" pledge. And it asks for court costs and unspecified damages for discrimination and emotional suffering. "Language is an essential characteristic of one's national origin," according to the complaint filed in the case. "The ban on Spanish at St. ...

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Joe Baca, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, is steamed. Latinos have become a political "punching bag" this year, the California Democrat complained recently, attacked by "the misinformed" and "the misguided." Baca and other Latino lawmakers on Capitol Hill are angry at their fellow Democrats -- and they say they're not going to take it anymore. They've held a news conference on the steps of a House office building to denounce their leadership's willingness to cater to immigration critics by holding hearings on enforcement measures proposed by endangered Democratic moderates.

When you talk to American citizens rather than politically correct editors, publishers, TV producers and talk show hosts, you get to the heart of the matter. As illegal alien migration and mass legal immigration rage into this country like a “Human Katrina”, every American citizen pays financially. Other costs include cultural destruction, linguistic chaos, educational breakdown, incarceration and medical consequences. From the heartland in Indiana, Jackie Murray gave several observations that stick in the reader’s craw. He said, “Immigration policies have changed for the worse since the 1960s. Prior to "diversity" being next to Godliness, we imported an ...

The couple hid for hours inside the plant before obtaining refuge in the pews and hall at St. Bridget's Catholic Church, where hundreds of other Guatemalan and Mexican families gathered, hoping to avoid arrest.

Two news articles recently appeared in their respective newspapers. Both articles deal with the same news story but the difference in the way that the stories were written is significant. The first article makes it clear that the aliens who attempted to procure driver's licenses through fraud were from so-called "special interest countries," that is to say, countries that are linked to terrorism. The second article describes these aliens as coming from "New Jersey!" I know that New Jersey may seem to be an unusual state for folks from other parts of the country, but in point of fact, New Jersey is, in fact one of our nation's 50 states. The illegal aliens did, ...

Italian police began a nationwide round-up of nearly 400 illegal immigrants from the Balkans and North Africa yesterday in the midst of a series of arson attacks on Roma gypsy camps in the suburbs of Naples. The first step in a drive on crime promised by the new centre-right government of Silvio Berlusconi targeted temporary encampments on the outskirts of cities from Naples to northern Italy. Some 118 people held in the operation were ordered to be expelled immediately for offences ranging from drug dealing and robbery to prostitution. But in Naples local people have anticipated the new policy, taking the law into their own hands. This week’s assaults on Roma shanty towns by scores ...

Xenophobia: The camp blazes after baby kidnap allegations against a Roma girl Italian police arrested hundreds of suspected illegal immigrants today in a sign of the new right-wing government's determination to clamp down. Some of those held in the operation, which stretched from northern Italy to the Campania region around Naples, were ordered to be immediately expelled. It comes as illegal Roma camps in Naples had to be evacuated by police after local people, angry at an alleged baby-snatching incident involving a 17-year-old Roma girl, set fire to their shacks repeatedly during the night. The police action and the arson attack both follow Silvio Berlusconi's return to power ...

A horrifying story about U.S. Immigration Posted by: Erik Torkells, Editor in Chief, Wednesday, May 14, 2008, 8:04 AM If you've ever stood in line at U.S. Immigration and wondered if the agents feel a bit too comfortable in their power--I know I have--then you should absolutely read this story in today's New York Times. (Actually, it's even more imperative that you read it if you don't think immigration agents are abusing their power.) To sum it up, an Italian man flew to Dulles airport outside D.C. to visit his American girlfriend. He ended up being detained in jail for 10 days for no apparent reason. (Agents claimed he asked for asylum; as the man's girlfriend says, ...
