MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. — A fire killed four people early Sunday in a two-story house where about a dozen people lived in makeshift rooms, some of them bedding down in closets, the state fire marshal said. Witnesses reported seeing people fleeing the property before officials arrived, Fire Marshal Roger Johnson said. The residents didn't return, he said. "We don't know why they left, why they did not want to stay and why they did not want to address any questions we may have," Johnson said. Immigration officials had been to the scene, Deputy Fire Chief Chuck Greis said. Neighbors told The Associated Press they believed most residents in house were Asian immigrants who worked ...

WASHINGTON – Immigration court judges will undergo periodic evaluations and additional immigration appeals judges will be hired, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced Wednesday. Gonzales opened a review of the immigration courts, which operate as part of the Justice Department, in January after chastising some of them for “intemperate or even abusive” conduct toward asylum seekers. “This review has left me reassured of the talent and professionalism that exists in the immigration courts and at the Board of Immigration Appeals,” Gonzales said in a statement. But he found room for improvement. The more than 200 immigration judges handle hundreds of thousands of ...
AFL-CIO Moves to Embrace Day Laborers

The AFL-CIO agreed today to work with a national network of day laborer organizers, a move that could bring representatives for some of the most publicly scorned illegal immigrants to the policymaking table of the nation's largest union group and provide day workers with a potent ally in local efforts to establish hiring halls and national campaigns for legalization. Six years after organized labor's pivotal policy shift toward support of illegal workers, the resolution, approved by the AFL-CIO executive council in Chicago, further cemented the struggling labor movement's embrace of illegal immigrants as key parts of the American workforce and potential union members. The partnership does ...

Saturday, August 5, 2006 - Updated: 10:22 AM EST CRAWFORD, Texas - With 6,000 National Guard troops deployed to Southwestern states, President Bush said Saturday he has fulfilled his pledge to help beef up border security and challenged Congress to give him legislation that will welcome more foreigners into the country. Speaking in his weekly radio address, Bush said immigration reform can only be successful if the get-tough border security to keep people from sneaking in is combined with opportunities for more immigrants to enter the country legally. “By passing comprehensive immigration reform, we will uphold our laws, meet the needs of our economy and keep America what she has ...

The sea of yellow swept through the veins of Mexico City en route to the Zocalo on Sunday, the platelets returning to the heart. Yellow for clean elections; amarillo for democracy, as manifest in the candidacy of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador who believes that his populist electoral victory in the presidential election three weeks ago was stolen from him and the working class and poor of Mexico who voted for him. Unlike John Kerry, Obrador -- the mayor of Mexico City -- did not disappoint the perhaps 2 million people who completely filled the Zocalo and avenues in every direction for block after ...
Why Are 90% Of The Jews Marxist Socialist/Communist Liberals?

Explaining Jews: Why Are Jews Liberal? Townhall.com By Dennis Prager April 25, 2006 The most frequently asked question I receive from non-Jews about Jews is, why are Jews so liberal? The question is entirely legitimate since Jews (outside of Israel) are indeed overwhelmingly liberal and disproportionately left of liberal as well. For example, other than blacks, no American group votes so lopsidedly for the Democratic Party. And the question is further sharpened given that traditional Jewish values are not leftist. That is why the more religiously involved the Jew, the less likely he is to be on the Left. The old saw, "There are two types of Jews -- those who believe Judaism is ...

We are pleased to announce that North Carolina can now be added to the list of over 30 states that have passed state laws restricting illegal immigration. To be perfectly honest, we did not originally expect our Battle for NC efforts to manifest in any legislation this session. The most we had hoped to accomplish was to show the public who was responsible for our illegal immigration crisis on the state level. We have achieved that and much more than we had originally hoped! We are pleasantly surprised that we have emerged with four very important pieces of legislation in the 2006 short Session. One, NC Licenses will now require a valid social security number thus blocking illegal aliens ...

The law will require anyone seeking to rent in the city to apply for a residency license and submit to an investigation of citizenship status. Landlords found renting to people without licenses will be ...

“The passing scene and what it's about viewed from the traditionalist politically incorrect Right.”A reader sends this account of how he “perceived, as a new immigrant, dirt-poor and a neighbor of Mexicans in Los Angeles in 1971, that the country was headed for disaster, immigration-wise.” I am not a Mexican hater or immigrant basher per se.I am an America basher. One cannot blame impoverished, semi-literate people for wanting to improve their lot in life by moving to the U.S. But one must condemn the selfish, greedy American elite (Dems greedy for votes, GOP greedy for profits) that has made it possible; ridicule the naive dogoodnicks who are their amen choir; and ...

Before the Sep. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, U.S. Jews were dependable allies against the restrictionist immigration policies of such organisations as the Centre for Immigration Studies (CIS) and the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush presided over a citizenship ceremony on Monday for three soldiers injured in Iraq, calling them "men who knew the cost of freedom and were willing to pay that cost so others could live free." Bush also used his visit to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center to promote his stalled proposal for overhauling the nation's immigration laws. He urged Congress to break the current stalemate and pass legislation that "must be comprehensive." The three injured soldiers who took the oath and became citizens were Spc. Noe Santos-Dilone of Brooklyn, N.Y.; Spc. Sergio Lopez of Bowlingbrook, Ill.; and Pfc. Eduardo Leal-Cardenas of Los Angeles. ...

Immigration and Usurpation Elites, Power, and the People’s Will July 2006 Americans are aware that their political class may not always act in their best interest. This belief is enshrined in the American character, its laws, and the very philosophy underpinning the U.S. Constitution. The Founding Fathers crafted things so that the "knaves" will be forced to abide by the will of the people, but they warned that their "natural progress" is to find ways to remain in power and increase that power at the people’s expense. They therefore also urged eternal vigilance, spiritedness, and the occasional revolt of the people. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and others ...

How Unskilled Immigrants Hurt Our Economy Steven Malanga A handful of industries get low-cost labor, and the taxpayers foot the bill. The day after Librado Velasquez arrived on Staten Island after a long, surreptitious journey from his Chiapas, Mexico, home, he headed out to a street corner to wait with other illegal immigrants looking for work. Velasquez, who had supported his wife, seven kids, and his in-laws as a campesino, or peasant farmer, until a 1998 hurricane devastated his farm, eventually got work, off the books, loading trucks at a small New Jersey factory, which hired illegals for jobs that required few special skills. The arrangement suited both, until a work injury sent ...

A girl walks up with a camera to take a picture of someone else being roughed up and she gets slammed with a bike, shoved by two or three cops, and then one chicken shit mutha fugger of a pussy assed cop smashes her across the back with a stick and then beats on her while she is on the ground with a friend laying on her, seemingly trying to protect her. These people were protesting the SOS Minuteman march in LA. Since they were on the other team, the anti illegal crowd is loving this shit. WTF? If I was marching ...

Free Republic is an amazing tool for those looking for a good debate and news from around the country. The problem for the administration of the site is that their creation is allowing the participants to learn that the Bush immigration record and plans are shockingly out of line with the views of most conservatives.

The arrests of the construction and landscape workers were made Friday. The workers were "foreign nationals," according to a news release from the 2nd Bomb Wing that did not specify countries of origin. Most had obtained fraudulent Social Security and alien registration numbers to complete forms, the release said. The workers did not have access to secure information, 2nd Bomb Wing spokesman Lt. Frank Hartnett said. He would not say how the workers got on the base.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Pro Tem Bruce R.

Chris Simcox Alan Keyes Many of the group's most active members say they have no idea how much money has been collected as part of its effort to stop illegal entry -- primarily along the U.S.-Mexico border, what it has been spent on or why it has been funneled through a Virginia-based charity headed by conservative Alan Keyes. ...
Close Our Borders!

We are told that the vast majority of Americans want our borders closed. When they say "our borders," they do not mean the one with Canada – the longest undefended border in the world. They mean the one with Mexico. Yet that border, while not quite open, is more like a sieve than a wall. The politicians dither. But politicians do not dither when their re-election is on the line. They see their opportunities, and they take them. So, what explains the dithering? I suggest that there is confusion – enormous confusion – over three words: close, our, and borders. CLOSE Close means prevent entry and exit. Americans do not want this. That would mean no travel ...
Senate Bill Seeks More Pay For Aliens [even as American workers at the same work site could earn less]

The Senate immigration bill would require that foreign construction laborers here under the guest-worker program be paid well above the minimum wage, even as American workers at the same work site could earn less. The bill "would guarantee wages to some foreign workers that could be higher than those paid to American workers at the same work site," says a policy paper released this week by the Senate's Republican Policy Committee. "This is unfair to U.S. workers, inappropriate, and unnecessary." The 11-page, harshly critical analysis of the Senate immigration bill on this one point reveals how torn Senate Republicans are over the larger issue of immigration. Though ...

July 12, 2006 History is What Comes Next Mexico Splits in Half: the Election Hits the Streets By JOHN ROSS A full week after the most viciously contested presidential election in its modern history, a Florida-sized fraud looms over the Mexican landscape and the nation has been divided almost exactly in half along political, economic, geographical and racial lines. Mexico has always been two lands "Illusionary Mexico" and "Profound Mexico" is how sociologist Guillermo Bonfils described the great divide between rich and poor. But now, should it be allowed to stand, right-winger Felipe Calderon's severely questioned 243.000 vote victory over left-wing populist ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A woman and her sister had to go to the hospital after a bartender mistakenly dipped their martini glasses in a caustic substance used to clean the restaurant's fryer. The bartender ran out of sugar Saturday night at Doc's Gumbo Grille downtown and asked a dishwasher that speaks mainly Spanish for more sugar. The employee gave the bartender a box containing a white substance that looked like sugar, but it was the cleaner instead, restaurant owner Doug Goolsby said. "I hate that anybody gets hospitalized at your place of business. Mistakes happen, and it's regrettable," said Goolsby, who added the business has moved the cleaner to the basement. Rita ...

July10, 2006 Democracy Betrayed Electoral Fraud and Rebellion in Mexico By ROGER BURBACH Over half a million people took to the streets of Mexico City on Saturday to protest the fraudulent election of Felipe Calderon. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the real winner of the presidential election, told the huge crowd, "the elections were fraudulent from the start," adding the incumbent president, Vincente Fox "has betrayed democracy." The reason Fox and his National Action Party (PAN) pulled out all the stops to steal the election is quite simple-they are desperately afraid of the growing class rebellion by Mexico's poor and oppressed. The campaign slogan of Lopez ...
