President Bush’s Iowa Approval Rating Hits All Time Low April 18, 2005, 2:12:15 AM Monday President Bush now has the lowest approval rating in Iowa since he took office. A new poll in the Des Moines Register shows only 42 percent of Iowans approve of the president's performance, the federal budget and social security reform are two of the main reasons so many Iowans aren't happy with the job he's doing. This new poll shows the president's approval rating in Iowa has dropped to nearly half of what it was after the September Eleventh attacks. It can't be, it can't be. What about the Homeland?

SAN DIEGO – More than half of a small military contractor's 167 employees are illegal immigrants, the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday. Eighteen men were arrested, all but one of them Mexican. An audit of hiring records showed 86 employees of Naval Coating Inc. don't have permission to work in the United States, the department said. The company paints ships at Naval Station San Diego. Most of its employees have security badges to enter the base that is home to more than 50 ships. Advertisement Agents confiscated eight fake Social Security cards and six phony alien registration cards during pre-dawn raids at the men's homes. The ink on some of the confiscated cards was ...

NACO, Ariz. -- The Minuteman Project border vigil, which has nearly shut down a 20-mile corridor of the U.S.-Mexico border to illegal aliens, has spawned the creation of similar civilian patrols from California to Texas. One of the new patrols, known as the "Yuma Patriots," was scheduled to begin operations today along the U.S.-Mexico border south of Yuma, Ariz., to curb rising numbers of illegal aliens flooding into southwestern Arizona. "This is not about being racist or persecuting someone for the color of his skin," said Flash Sharrar, organizer of the Yuma Patriots, which will follow the Minuteman model of not engaging border crossers but reporting them to the ...

ABC7 Apr. 16 (ABC7) — A border skirmish is brewing between an immigrant rights group in San Francisco and the Minutemen in Arizona. The Minutemen are a semi-armed civilian group that is patrolling the border, trying to stop people from crossing illegally. Protesters from San Francisco are driving to the area Saturday morning to confront the Minutemen. They say the militia is nothing more than a hate group. The Minutemen say they're doing a public service. Chris Simcox, Minutemen founder: "We're presenting a model that Homeland Security should be: setting up posts and creating a deterrent for crime in the first place." The immigrant rights group, Deporten A La Migra, says ...
Illegals busted servicing airplanes

More than three years after the 2001 attacks, at least 25 alleged illegal aliens - including four from countries where the U.S. says there's terrorist activity - were able to get jobs maintaining commercial jets in North Carolina. The workers passed criminal background checks and Social Security screenings. And six held the Federal Aviation Administration's top mechanical certification, allowing them to clear airplanes to return to service. Just how frightened people should be of last month's roundup of 27 workers at TIMCO Aviation Services is open to debate. But some in the industry said it shows the security loopholes in the growing outsourcing of aircraft repairs. As much as half of ...
Danbury (Conn.) mayor calls for deputizing state police as immigration agents

DANBURY, Conn. -- Mayor Mark Boughton has called for deputizing state police officers as immigration agents to crack down on illegal immigrants in Danbury and elsewhere in Connecticut. "The federal government has an inability to do its job as it relates to immigration," he said. "The fact of the matter is that this is out of control. I recognize that we are a nation of immigrants. This is not about immigrants. This is about illegal immigration. There is a difference." Boughton on Friday asked state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to negotiate an arrangement with federal officials to deputize state police as federal immigration agents. Federal legislation enacted in ...

Blair believes mass immigration is good for Britain - do Britons? By Charles Moore (Filed: 16/04/2005) Warrior Square, St Leonards-on-Sea, has tall, imposing houses, the remnants of late Victorian gentility. At its lower end, the Queen Empress herself, in statue form, gazes out to sea. I have known the town all my life, and remember it from the Sixties as a respectable place where lots of High Church old ladies would promenade in their hats. When they died, their effects found their way into capacious second-hand bookshops and antique emporiums. There were outstandingly good tea-rooms and neat public gardens. It has changed. On a wet morning this week, I parked in Warrior Square and ...

“They come to do the jobs American’s won’t do,” President Bush explains. “They come for a better life.” According to Newsweek, March 28, 2005, over 10,000 MS-13 gang members illegally crossed our borders looking for a better life, too. Now operating in 33 states, ‘The Most Dangerous Gang in America’ illustrates how illegal aliens cross our borders looking for a better life while they make ours a living nightmare. While playing soccer, a 12 year old kid is shot dead by MS-13 members in Reno, Nevada. In Somerville, Massachusetts, two gang members rape two teen girls in Foss Park. Both are deaf--one is in a wheelchair. In Fairfax, Virginia in May of 200 ...

Denny's worker fired after Border Patrol agent is insulted Apr. 15, 2005 12:00 AM DOUGLAS A Denny's employee was fired after a U.S. Border Patrol agent complained about an insulting order slip for a chicken sandwich. The employee accidentally gave the agent the wrong slip of paper, one that normally is used to send an order to the cook, instead of the receipt. The slip of paper included an order for the $7.49 sandwich and the words: "Border Ass Whole." Denny's corporate headquarters distributed a statement by the franchise owner that the "rogue" employee was fired after the April 9 incident. "Denny's supports and welcomes all Border Patrol personnel and their ...

TUCSON, Ariz. – Organizers of a project using civilian volunteers to watch for illegal immigrants and smugglers along the Arizona border want to expand to other border states this fall. Patrols would be concentrated in high-traffic smuggling areas similar to the stretch in southeastern Arizona where volunteers with the Minuteman Project are patrolling through April 30, said Chris Simcox, a project organizer. Simcox, who said the project "ignited a national wave of support," also noted supporters want to conduct a national fundraiser to help pay for gas and equipment for volunteers. Critics, including those fearing that racist-inspired violence might erupt, said they doubt ...

Spanish to overtake English in the United States 14 April 2005 LA LAGUNA - One of Spain's top experts on the Spanish language claims the language of Cervantes could outstrip that of Shakespeare in the US. "Some of our grandchildren could see a United States with more Spanish-speakers than English-speakers," said Alberto Gomez Font said, a philologist and coordinator of FUNDEU, the arbiter of the use of the Spanish language. He was speaking during a conference at the School of Information Science of the University of La Laguna, in the Canary Islands. "The future of Spanish is in the United States because it has gone from being a language treated without any consideration ...

Family in Mexico Sues Hunter, Ranch Owner Over Shooting Death of Illegal Immigrant The Associated Press Published: Apr 14, 2005 EL INDIO, Texas (AP) - The family of a illegal immigrant shot to death on a Texas ranch sued the property owner and a hunter, who allegedly told police he thought the man was a wild hog. The wrongful death lawsuit seeks $8 million for the family of Celestino Lopez, 36, who died after being shot in the abdomen in January 2004. Prosecutor Roberto Serna said he plans to decide soon whether to present the case to a grand jury. Lopez, who was from the Mexican state of Guanajuato, had been walking in the dark with other immigrants after entering the United States ...

Army Reservist Charged in Border Detention Wed Apr 13, 9:33 AM ET U.S. National - AP PHOENIX - An Army reservist was arrested on charges of holding seven Mexicans at gunpoint at a rest stop in southern Arizona, where civilian efforts to watch for illegal immigrants have raised fears of vigilante violence. Sgt. Patrick Haab, 24, was apparently acting alone and not involved with the Minuteman Project, which has organized volunteers for a monthlong effort to watch for immigrants and drug smugglers along the border. Officials said Haab used his vehicle to stop the seven men from driving away from an interstate rest stop Sunday, then ordered them to lie on the ground or be shot. He was ...

Are you as an American citizen ready to spit nails about illegal immigration? You aren’t alone. Millions of Americans have had it up to their eyeballs with illegal immigration. It’s no longer immigration; it’s an invasion by the Third World. The line never ends. Illegals assault our country in every state, community, hospital, school and home. We’re angry. We must band together to MAKE our Congress work for us and not for this national nightmare. We must force individual Congressmen to join Tom Tancredo’s Immigration Reform Caucus. You may address your letter like my friend Bob wrote to his congressman: “Once again, I am compelled to sit here at my ...

The men were brothers Ricardo and Mario Sahagun Rodriguez, and Francisco Hernandez Davila, all from the Mexican state of Jalisco. The defendants were the only people charged in connection with the discovery of more than 65,000 marijuana plants on tribal land near Satus Pass, about 15 miles north of ...

Idaho officials weigh RICO lawsuit over illegal workers By REBECCA BOONE Associated Press writer BOISE, Idaho -- Canyon County commissioners are considering whether they can use a federal law designed to target organized crime to sue local businesses that hire illegal immigrants. The commissioners, led by Robert Vasquez, agreed Friday to pay a Chicago lawyer $2,500 to look into the feasibility of a lawsuit based on that law. "I know that there are companies hiring illegal aliens because they make applications for welfare and tell us where they are working," Vasquez said. By going after companies under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, known as ...

W.Va. makes English its official language By ERIK SCHELZIG ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Two days after the end of the legislative session, state lawmakers are discovering something few were aware of: They voted to make English the official language of West Virginia. The language amendment was quietly inserted into a bill addressing the number of members that cities can appoint to boards of parks and recreation. Among mundane details about record-keeping, the amendment adds the provision that "English shall be the official language of the State of West Virginia." Senate Majority Whip Billy Wayne Bailey successfully offered that change to House Bill 2782 amid a ...

House revives bill to let police arrest and deport immigrants Elvia Díaz The Arizona Republic Apr. 12, 2005 12:00 AM Saying that Arizona has become a haven for undocumented immigrants, state Republican lawmakers on Monday revived a bill giving police officers the power to arrest and deport anyone living here illegally. Republican Rep. Russell Pearce of Mesa successfully used a strike-everything amendment to Senate Bill 1306 in the House Appropriations Committee, which he chairs. A strike-everything amendment is a maneuver in which one bill replaces the contents of an existing bill. SB 1306 authorizes local police officers to investigate, arrest, detain or deport immigrants here ...

Punishing illegal immigrants These workers, who pay taxes, shouldn't qualify to vote, but their children should be able to pay in-state tuition Tuesday, April 12, 2005 We Oregonians share our state with thousands of illegal immigrants. How many, no one knows for sure, but it's estimated that half or more of the 1.6 million agricultural workers in the United States are here illegally. Oregon is heavily dependent on them, too. This "off the books" demographic is deeply distressing to many Oregonians. They wonder, rightfully, how much we should accommodate this new reality and how much we should actively discourage it. In this session, the Oregon Legislature can set some ...

Day Nine and illegal alien apprehensions are still way down. Locally, traffic has shifted away from the Naco Line, moving eastwards towards Douglas and westward to the Huachuca Mountains and beyond to the San Rafael Valley. There are also reports of more traffic heading towards Nogales and the Tohono O’odham reservation. There were a couple of good sized groups passing through the Huachucas overnight. Some were nabbed by the Border Patrol immediately after detection, with stragglers appearing throughout the day. Most were reportedly from Michoacan, west of Mexico City. One alien was seen to toss a cell phone into the brush and it was later recovered; the call history may be ...

I've got news for the Minutemen tracking illegal aliens in southern Arizona. If you really want to control illegal immigration, you are in the wrong place. The place to go is Washington. And the people to confront are President Bush and Congress, not the Mexican peasants sneaking into the United States. The Bush administration is using you. The Minutemen are volunteers who patrol the border in search of illegal immigrants. Their work is utterly futile. Everyone knows that on the first or 10th try, the illegal alien will get past the circus at the border. From there, it's on to Los Angeles, Chicago or Anytown USA, where he's home free. Illegal immigrants come for jobs. Were it not for ...

Minute Man News – Commentary by Jim Dean Dear legal Americans, It looks like the ACLU and Mexican gangs have not had much success catching the armed Minutemen vigilantes taking the law into their own hands. So they are having to reach a bit to find something. Below you will read how a free T-shirt, a bowl of milk and cereal and $20 was spun into a forcible detention incident claim. This one will go down in history. Even the sheriff's office joined in by making a foolish statement. News videos have been made for years of illegals coming over the border in droves. I am not aware of law enforcement ever claiming they were promoting a 'circus.' So what we have here is what we see so ...

Uh oh! We're out of humans Abundant claims of labor shortages A Washington DC construction supervisor told Jerry Kammer of the San Diego Tribune that since the surge in illegal immigration from Central America to the Washington, DC area began roughly 20 years ago, the pay for installing 4 x 8 panels has dropped from $4.50 per panel to $3.00. After adjusting for inflation, that's a stunning 60% decline in wages. And over the last 20 years, while these already low-end jobs were in their 60% freefall, what did we hear from the Wall Street Journal, Alan Greenspan, and the immigration lawyer industry? Why, America has been in the grip of a desperate labor shortage this whole time! With the ...

For Wanda Weatherford it's a battle for the American middle class. That's why the 70-year-old Littleton grandmother drove to the Mexican border last Friday and joined the Minuteman Project. "Young people are so busy working. As a senior citizen I need to pick up the ball and run with it," said Weatherford on Thursday. She returned home Sunday. The Minuteman Project's volunteers will spend a day to several weeks through April on a 23-mile stretch of desert to stop immigrants from crossing into the U.S. Working round the clock in shifts, the volunteers have been alerting the U.S. Border Patrol when they see people moving toward the border from Mexico.
