12 minutes ago In this video frame grab taken from C-SPAN2 television, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., speaks on the floor of the Senate during debate on an ammendment to the immigration bill, Wednesday May 24, 2006 in Washington. Earlier, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to limit debate on election-year immigration legislation, clearing the way for final passage later this week of a bill that calls for tougher border security as well as an eventual chance at citizenship for millions of men and women in the country illegally. (AP Photo/CSPAN2) Senate supporters of landmark immigration legislation looked ahead Wednesday to passage of a measure along lines set by President Bush, but they also ...

Fridge Fills Up In Arizona Desert Season of Death Tue May 23, 2006 3:36pm ET170 By Frank Jack Daniel TUCSON, Arizona (Reuters) - So many illegal immigrants die of desert heat on the U.S.-Mexico border that an Arizona morgue has had to buy a refrigerated trailer to store its bodies, and it is building room for more. As temperatures begin to soar toward 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius), Bruce Parks, the head of the medical examiner's office in Tucson, worries that tighter security on the border may mean a gruesome toll this summer. The U.S. Senate on Monday backed plans by President Bush to send up to 6,000 National Guard troops to the border, which illegal immigrants say will force ...

The End of the Republic By Robert Locke Based upon the Senate vote to give amnesty to illegal aliens, I wish to formally and explicitly predict that if this legislation stands, this marks the moment at which the United States is finished as a nation. I am neither kidding nor exaggerating. This is it. The game is over. The USA will not survive as a country; it will go the way of the USSR, the only other nation commonly refered to as an "experiment." There will be no tricentennial. A hundred years from now, it will not appear on maps. A thousand years from now, its existence will only be known to history buffs and graduate students. Like ancient Athens, some will probably ...

PENCE UNVEILS NO AMNESTY IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence delivered the following speech entitled "Renewing the American Dream: The Real Rational Middle Ground on Immigration Reform" at the Heritage Foundation this afternoon. Of note: "Therefore, the solution is to setup a system that will encourage illegal aliens to self-deport and come back legally as guest workers. This may sound outside of the box, and it is. It may sound far-fetched and unrealistic, but it isn’t. It is based on sound, proven conservative principles. It places reliance on American enterprise and puts government back into its traditional role of protecting its ...
North American Union to Replace USA?

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy. Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada. President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much ...

President's Immigration Speech Lacks Credibility by Phyllis SchlaflyPosted May 22, 2006 If President George W. Bush had given his May 15 speech calling for immigration reform five years earlier, we would have believed him. Now, after five years of doing nothing to protect our borders, he is not credible.The problems he eloquently expressed didn't just emerge this year. They existed when he took office and throughout the last five years when he did nothing to correct them.These problems include:The pitiful number Border Patrol agents.The millions of illegal immigrants smuggled into the United States across the desert or in crowded 18-wheelers. The dangerous policy called ...

Among those who will be cleared of past crimes under the Senate's proposed immigration-reform bill would be the businesses that have employed the estimated 10 million illegal aliens eligible for citizenship and that provided the very "magnet" that drew them here in the first place. Buried in the more than 600 pages of legislation is a section titled "Employer Protections," which states: "Employers of aliens applying for adjustment of status under this section shall not be subject to civil and criminal tax liability relating directly to the employment of such alien." Supporters of the legislation insist that such provisions do not amount to ...

The Plan To Replace The Dollar With The 'Amero' by Jerome R. Corsi Posted May 22, 2006 The idea to form the North American Union as a super-NAFTA knitting together Canada, the United States and Mexico into a super-regional political and economic entity was a key agreement resulting from the March 2005 meeting held at Baylor University in Waco, Tex., between President Bush, President Fox and Prime Minister Martin. A joint statement published by the three presidents following their Baylor University summit announced the formation of an initial entity called, “The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” (SPP). The joint statement termed the SPP a “trilateral ...

If Argentina native Sergio Villanueva, firefighter hero of the Sept. 11 attacks, had moved to Tecate instead of New York, he wouldn't have been allowed on the force. Even as Mexico presses the United States to grant unrestricted citizenship to millions of undocumented Mexican migrants, its officials at times calling U.S. policies "xenophobic," Mexico places daunting limitations on anyone born outside its territory.

Sun May 21, 2006 01:14 PM ET By Tim Gaynor NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (Reuters) - Non-Mexican Hispanics entering the United States illegally are studying up on Mexican history and geography, even learning to whistle the national anthem, to beat U.S. plans to fly them home. As part of a proposal to overhaul immigration laws and tighten border security, President Bush pledged last week to increase deportations of illegal immigrants from countries other than Mexico caught crossing the U.S. border. Mexicans, who make up most of the almost 1.2 million immigrants detained crossing the border illegally in 2005, are given a criminal background check and then sent over the frontier, usually within a ...

Washington -- The current migration of Mexicans and Central Americans to the United States is one of the largest diasporas in modern history, experts say. Roughly 10 percent of Mexico's population of about 107 million is now living in the United States, estimates show. About 15 percent of Mexico's labor force is working in the United States. One in every 7 Mexican workers migrates to the United States. Mass migration from Mexico began more than a century ago. It is deeply embedded in the history, culture and economies of both nations. The current wave began with Mexico's economic crisis in 1982, accelerated sharply in the 1990s with the U.S. economic boom, and today has reached record ...

Hagel/Martinez Amendment Background: The Hagel/Martinez Substitute contains all the provisions of the Specter Amendment - including the border security, interior security and employer enforcement provisions from the Frist bill - but makes the following 3 changes: 1. It proposes an alternative to Title VI, Subtitle A of the Specter substitute (which deals with the illegal population living in the U.S.) 2. It temporarily increases the number of employment based green cards from 290,000 (as in the Specter Substitute) to 450,000. This increase from 290,000 to 450,000 would sunset after ten years. 3. It would give mid-term illegal immigrants (defined below) priority in applying for green ...

Reid calls language proposal racist

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called a proposal to make English the official language "racist" on the Senate floor yesterday.
"This amendment is racist. I think it's directed basically to people who speak Spanish," the Democrat said during the already tense debate over immigration reform.
Moments later, the Senate approved the measure on a 63-34 vote. Virtually all Republicans were joined by 11 Democrats to approve the largely symbolic amendment. Immediately following that vote, the Senate approved a second amendment, declaring on a 58-39 vote that English is the "common and unifying language."
Such proposals enjoy overwhelming support among American voters.

Mexico Calls for Investigation into Border Shooting

SAN DIEGO — The Mexican government called for an investigation Friday into a shooting by two federal agents that left one person dead at the world's busiest border crossing. A union representing the Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting defended the officer's conduct.
The shooting took place Thursday afternoon after U.S. agents surrounded a sport utility vehicle that was under surveillance on suspicion of immigrant smuggling, police said.
The driver refused to get out, and when agents smashed the vehicle's window with a baton, he accelerated in the direction of five U.S. agents blocking his path and "nearly pinned an agent standing next to the vehicle," said ...

And what has come out of that is a description of English as the national language. And I think — and we have supported both of these. … And I think both of these amendments are consistent ...

SAN DIEGO -- The vast majority of people caught smuggling immigrants across the border near San Diego are never prosecuted for the offense, demoralizing the agents making the arrests, according to an internal Border Patrol document obtained by The Associated Press. "It is very difficult to keep agents' morale up when the laws they were told to uphold are being watered-down or not prosecuted," the report says. The report offers a stark assessment of the situation at a Border Patrol station responsible for guarding 13 miles of mountainous border east of the city. Federal officials say it reflects a reality along the entire 2,000-mile border: Judges and federal attorneys are so ...

Many Democrats say it is. But some respectable scholars say ethnicity should be considered in deciding who gets to be American On May 10, the Washington Post ran a front-page story on a new census report that said 45% of the nation's children under the age of five are racial or ethnic minorities, and that the percentage is increasing primarily because the Hispanic population is growing so rapidly. If you read those facts carefully, you'd probably find them interesting, but not necessarily sufficient to draw any sweeping conclusions about the demographic and cultural future of the country. If, however, you wanted to make a point about the dangers of illegal immigration, you might interpret ...

WASHINGTON -- For those few of us who have championed rational immigration control policies over the last 30 years, there have been constant and insensate challenges to what seemed the most central of nation-state business: controlling the borders and carefully choosing new immigrant populations. Thirty years ago, when I started writing in this column about border control, self-righteous professional Third World-sympathizers such as Sen. Teddy Kennedy had already arrogantly pushed through the 1965 immigration reform act, which switched traditional immigrant preferences from the ethnic groups already in America to the impoverished and uneducated Third World, especially Mexico. Most of us ...
