Low Interest Loans for Illegal Aliens WKOW-TV May 16, 2005 Wisconsin's housing authority, or WHEDA, is the first state in the nation to implement a program offering low interest loans to illegal aliens, or "undocumented workers". Now some Madison alders want the City to implement a similar program. Madison's program would allow the approved applicants to get a low interest loan for up to 95% of the home cost. Other low income residents can get 100% of the cost of a home financed with a Community Development Block Grant through the city. "In a very real way with the modern economy, immigrants are here to stay and I think we ought to be supporting then in trying to live good ...

A PETITE, middle-aged woman was the "Mother of All Snakeheads" who brought thousands of Chinese illegally into America on hellish ships and used violent gangs to hold them hostage, a US prosecutor said today. Human trafficking by Cheng Chui Ping, 56, also known as "Sister Ping", had been linked to major shipments of illegal immigrants in which more than 20 people died, Assistant US Attorney David Burns said at the woman's federal trial in Manhattan. Ms Cheng is also accused of laundering hundreds of thousands of dollars from the smuggling operations and using some of the money to finance the 1992 voyage of a rickety freighter, Golden Venture, which carried 300 illegal ...

President said Mexicans take U.S. jobs ‘not even blacks want to do’ MEXICO CITY - President Vicente Fox came under criticism Saturday after saying Mexicans were willing to take jobs “that not even blacks want to do in the United States.” Fox’s remark Friday came a day after Mexico announced it would formally protest recent U.S. immigration reforms, including the decision to extend walls along the border and make it harder for illegal migrants to get driver’s licenses. “There’s no doubt that the Mexican men and women — full of dignity, willpower and a capacity for work — are doing the work that not even blacks want to do in the United ...

Mexican President Vicente Fox called recent U.S. measures to stem illegal immigration a step back for bilateral relations on Friday and said Mexican migrants do jobs "that not even blacks want to do." In comments likely to raise the temperature of the immigration debate, Fox defended the role of undocumented Mexican workers in the United States to a group of Texas business people meeting in Mexico. "There is no doubt that Mexicans, filled with dignity, willingness and ability to work are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States," he said in a speech broadcast in part on local radio and reported on newspaper web sites. Fox said recent, ...

An immigrant advocacy group asked Hispanics to boycott businesses and to stay home from work yesterday to protest legislation by Arizona lawmakers targeting illegal aliens, and said it was a trial run for a full-scale, three-day economic protest planned for July. "This is a test so people can see and feel the power we have and the actual stranglehold we have on the economy of this state," Elias Bermudez, executive director of Centro de Ayuda, an immigrant advocacy group in Phoenix, told reporters this week. "We contribute to the greatness of this state and we should not be pushed around like we are." Although advertised extensively on Spanish-language radio and ...

There are ways to fight backby Francis Playfair In November last year, as the rest of the nation was electing the candidate that they considered the lesser of two evils, in the presidential elections, the good folk of Arizona were casting their votes over proposition 200. There are planned legal objections to the proposition, but if the people of Arizona can get this past a federal judge then this will be a small step in the right direction. However, the question is why do they need proposition 200? What is happening along the border, that is making the people of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California feel like a people under siege?To understand this people have to realize that for the ...

MEXICO CITY - (KRT) - A top Mexican official said Thursday that "there is no wall that can stop" the flow of illegal workers from Mexico to the United States and that money spent on such measures would be better used to "regularize" immigration and fight terrorism. Interior Minister Santiago Creel, a likely presidential candidate next year, said U.S. attempts to halt migration over the last 100 years have failed. And so will new measures approved by the U.S. Senate this week and signed into law by President Bush, he said. "We see this as bad because building walls in no way contributes to the construction of a good neighborhood," Creel said during a news ...

Migrant bills sent to governor [of AZ] Elvia Díaz The Arizona Republic May. 13, 2005 12:00 AM The Legislature on Thursday sent Gov. Janet Napolitano two bills targeting undocumented immigrants, amid protests from Democrats who thought employers should be penalized, too. The measures, House Bills 2592 and 2030, will move on to Napolitano without the employer sanctions provisions. Democrats had argued that jobs, not public handouts, entice illegal border crossers to Arizona. Also on Thursday, the Legislature agreed to let voters decide whether to deny bail to undocumented immigrants who commit a serious crime. The issue will go on the November 2006 ballot. Under HB 2030, ...

As Billboard Gate winds down and the Liberman Broadcast group completes the removal of offensive and divisive language from 75 billboards, a new scandal is emerging over a public works monument in Baldwin Park, CA. The stone monument, created by artist Judith Baca, contains the inscriptions "This land was Mexican once, was Indian always, and is and will be again" and "It was better before THEY came". These inscriptions are insulting to Americans because they reflect the opinions of the Aztlan Reconquista separatist movement within the rapidly expanding illegal alien community in America.

Don't Burn My Flag by David A. Yeagley Originally published at FrontPageMagazine.com | March 23, 2001 "F—K YOU, this is still Mexico," says a popular LED-illuminated sign appearing in car windows on California highways. The sign refers to the fact that much of the American Southwest belonged to Mexico until the U.S. siezed it in 1846. Now some Mexicans want the land back. As a Comanche Indian, I have a problem with that. We Comanches pushed the Spaniards out of Texas and eastern New Mexico over 200 years ago. Neither Spaniards nor Mexicans ever managed to return. Comanches used to ride across the Rio Grande every fall to attack Mexican villages, killing, scalping, ...

Los Angeles -- A controversial billboard campaign in Los Angeles continued to make headlines this week as anger rapidly turned to confusion and hysteria. The billboard, advertising a Spanish Language television station, originally made news by enraging many Americans with its aggressive Mexican Nationalist message --declaring that Los Angeles was no longer part of the United States, but was instead a Mexican city once again. Below the banner message in which “Los Angeles, CA” had been crossed out and changed in blaring red type to read “Los Angeles, MEXICO,” the billboard pronounced in Spanish “Your City. Your Team.” Now Gringo anger is the least of the ...

Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., are working together on an immigration plan. WASHINGTON - Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate will introduce legislation today that could grant legal status to an estimated 10 million to 12 million illegal immigrants now in the United States. The bills, which would dwarf previous programs to provide legal status to foreign workers, would give illegal immigrants work permits and the opportunity to apply for permanent residence and eventually citizenship once they pay a ...

Illegals get preferential treatment Thursday, May 12, 2005 It is frustrating and disheartening to read this article about illegal immigrants ("Undocumented and under siege," May 10). I came to this country from the Philippines as a legal immigrant in 1984. I followed the U.S. immigration laws and therefore was admitted to this country in a legal way. My brothers and sisters have been on the waiting list for the last 13 years and their visas are still in limbo. My dad passed away without fulfilling his only wish, which was to see my siblings visit America. Why is it that there is preferential treatment for the illegals? Why is it that other illegal acts in this country are ...

Police-immigration bill passes Gives officers deport power Elvia Díaz The Arizona Republic May. 11, 2005 12:00 AM Local police officers would have the power to arrest and effectively deport people living in Arizona illegally under a bill passed by the Legislature on Tuesday and sent to Gov. Janet Napolitano. Currently, such powers are restricted to federal agents. Senate Bill 1306, approved by the Senate by a vote of 16-11, is based on the belief that the state has too few federal agents to deal with an increase in the population of undocumented immigrants. Opponents have said the police officers do not want the added authority and that the deportation of undocumented workers is ...

Court rejects DMV practice of taking illegal immigrants' licenses By MICHAEL GORMLEY Associated Press Writer May 10, 2005, 12:35 PM EDT ALBANY, N.Y. -- A state judge on Tuesday ruled the state Department of Motor Vehicles can't revoke the driver's licenses of as many as 252,000 illegal immigrants because they haven't secured Social Security cards. The DMV "may not use immigration status" to deny licenses, according to the decision by state Supreme Court Justice Karen Smith. "Plaintiffs have faced and will continue to face serious injuries if these practices continue." The court said DMV lacks the authority to carry out the practice that could only be enacted by a ...

Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoed Senate Bill 1167, which would have required state and local government workers to carry out their official duties in English. Also Monday, lawmakers said they almost certainly will not pursue a resolution to put an official-English referendum on the November 2006 ballot at least this year. The resolution has been stalled in the Senate for more than a month. Two other key immigration measures did appear headed for passage by the ...

Undocumented, under siege Tuesday, May 10, 2005 MICHELLE COLE SALEM -- The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the nation's renewed interest in border security have caused the debate over immigration to spill out of Congress and into Oregon's Capitol. Although immigration policy is largely a federal responsibility, the Legislature is considering several bills intended to crack down on people who are in the country illegally. They include making it tougher for immigrants -- some say even legal ones -- to get a driver's license, register to vote or secure a pay raise. Oregon lawmakers are "much more open" to talking about immigration issues than they used to be, says Jim Ludwick of ...

U.S. to Pay Hospitals for Illegals' Care By KEVIN FREKING, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Health care providers can charge the government for emergency care provided to illegal aliens beginning Tuesday. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued final guidance Monday that sets up a system for reimbursement. Lawmakers set aside $1 billion over four years for the program, created by Medicare legislation passed in 2003. For hospitals in border states, the additional money can mean the difference between running a profitable business or an unprofitable one, said Don May, vice president of policy for the American Hospital Association.

The great on-going debate at VDARE.COM is: "Which of the two—legal or illegal immigration—does more to destroy the fabric of America?" Legal immigration often takes a back seat to illegal immigration in terms of how much time we spend writing and talking about it. But on any given day—like today— I’ll tell you that legal immigration is the bigger of the two threats. The immigration reform movement has made enormous strides in raising America’s awareness about the destructive consequences of illegal immigration. You can feel the progress we’ve made the grassroots level. And you can see how influential we’ve been in Congress by ...
