The provision, which is far from being final, drew opposition from the business community. "That would be a death penalty for any business," said Farrell Quinlan, a spokesman for the ...

He reasoned that if Ramirez was in the country illegally, he also was in the town illegally. Ramirez had admitted being in the country on forged documents. There was some question about ...

Canada is wooing Mexican immigrants Chris Hawley Republic Mexico City Bureau May. 3, 2005 12:00 AM MEXICO CITY - As the United States fortifies its border with Mexico, Canadian companies are reaching out to immigrants who are frustrated by U.S. restrictions and tempted by dreams of a better life in Canada. The Canadian government has been relaxing its immigration rules in an effort to attract students and skilled workers from all over the world. That, and the push by companies promising jobs and visas, is attracting Mexican professionals turned off by the Minuteman Project, new border walls, tougher U.S. entry requirements and laws like Proposition 200 in Arizona.

Confronting the real issues of illegal immigration Monday, May 02, 2005 GORDON LAFER Recently, President Bush renewed his call for a guest-worker program for immigrants to fill jobs that "no American is willing to take." But what exactly are these jobs? American citizens pick crops; they wash dishes; they clean up construction sites. The truth is that, with nearly 8 million unemployed, there is no such thing as a "job that Americans won't do." For American workers, the problem with undocumented immigrants is not their presence but their legal status. In one industry after another, an increase in undocumented workers has meant a decrease in wages. Because they live ...

WATCHFUL: Minuteman Project volunteer Mike Milmine of Phoenix looks out over the border. A volunteer network's effort to close part of border slowed illegal immigration - in one small area. By Daniel B. Wood | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor SIERRA VISTA, ARIZ. - Retired pilot Joe McCutchen spent three weeks, $6,000, and put 4,600 miles on his car driving round trip from Fort Smith, Ark., to the Arizona border. In between, he spent 14 days in a folding chair, buffeted by wind storms, face- cutting sand, freezing cold, and scorching sun. He says he'll be back to do it again in October. "The terrain and weather were utterly brutal," says Mr. McCutchen, who spent ...

Gentle Song galloped into the wind. She raced along the fences of the pasture on summer days. Gentle Song carried kids on her back around the paddock. Last week, in California, two drunken illegal aliens killed Gentle Song for blood sport. Most countries in the Third World do not have laws against animal cruelty. Mexico is one of them. Some cultures do not share our fondness for pets. Muslims regard dogs as unclean and owners may have their pets confiscated while on a walk. In parts of Asia, cats and dogs are skinned alive and boiled-much like lobsters. One of the growing aspects of Third World Momentum invading the United States is the importation of cultures that perpetuate animal ...

Lenders are working to eliminate obstacles to ownership by easing conventional loan rules. Children's laughter, sizzling homemade tortillas and the savory aroma of chopped cilantro entice family and friends into the Gutierrezes' Pasadena home most Friday nights. A crowd of 30 sisters, brothers, in-laws and cousins gathered recently in the family's living room, kitchen and backyard — a weekly tradition since Ana and Eduardo Gutierrez and their two children moved into the two-bedroom home in September — to shrug off the workweek and enjoy bountiful food, a movie on the big screen and swimming in the inflatable pool.

DANBURY, Conn. — This middle-class New England suburb is nowhere near an international border but it still has the illegal immigration problems familiar to cities like San Diego and Tucson, Ariz. Mayor Mark Boughton (search) blames the government for his town's inability to cope with 15,000 illegal immigrants, approximately 19 percent of the overall population. "This is one community that has been incredibly stressed by failed federal policy and we need help," said Boughton. Because the illegal residents aren't counted in the U.S. census, Danbury (search) doesn't receive any federal aid for them. "In terms of our social services, this presents a tremendous strain, ...

Illegal drivers can haul hazmat cargo By Mimi Hall, USA TODAY WASHINGTON ? Corrupt employees in the Florida motor vehicles department illegally sold driver's licenses to more than 2,000 people, some of whom used the credentials to drive 18-wheelers and haul hazardous materials, federal authorities charged Thursday. Federal agents were scrambling to track down people who bought the licenses and can now use them to board airplanes, cross U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada and drive potentially lethal cargo around the country. Of the more than 2,000 licenses issued, 36 were for commercial drivers to operate trucks, and six to transport hazardous materials, said Immigration and Customs ...

Here, we're told that these migrants are forced to live in ramshackle housing, paying ...

Illegal aliens cross America’s borders medically unexamined. We shrug. We do not know what Illegal Aliens carry in their backpacks. We do not know what they carry in their bodies. Long ago we knew what legal immigrants brought with them. When my grandpa came to America, he kissed the ground of New York’s Ellis Island, then he stripped naked and coughed hard. Every legal immigrant before 1924 was examined for infectious diseases upon arrival and tested for tuberculosis. Anyone infected was shipped back to the old country. That was powerful incentive for each newcomer to make heroic efforts to appear healthy. Today, legal immigrants must demonstrate that they are free of ...
