In the state that sees half of the unauthorized border crossings in the U.S., residents and officials are unable to reconcile their positions. By Nicholas Riccardi, Times Staff Writer March 5, 2006 MESA, Ariz. — One minute, Glenna Twing talks about the immigrant residents of the apartment buildings she manages with the warmth typical of Arizona's business-friendly conservatives who cherish immigrant labor. Her tenants, Twing says, are in the country legally and "are hardworking business entrepreneurs who are trying to make a living and contribute back to society." Another minute, the 60-year-old Arizonan expresses the frustration that has made the state the epicenter of ...

Homeland Security secretary says security of nation depends on it The Brownsville Herald March 4, 2006 — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff on Friday stressed the importance of a guest worker program for the security of the nation during a visit to Brownsville. “We are in the midst of a serious discussion about a guest worker program,” Chertoff said Friday at Alice Walker Hope Park, which is on the bank of the Rio Grande with a view of Gateway International Bridge. “Not as amnesty, not a reward, but a constructive mechanism to allow migrants in the U.S. to assume a strong labor demand.” A mandatory identification card and background check ...

Sheriffs testify that border overtaken by criminals Lilly Rockwell Cox News Service Mar. 1, 2006 04:11 PM WASHINGTON - The number of border patrol officers assaulted has doubled in the past fiscal year. More illegal immigrants are dying in the deserts of Arizona and Texas. And sophisticated smuggling rings are using tunnels and military-style uniforms to bring drugs into this country. That's the dire picture of life along the border between the United States and Mexico painted by border patrol and customs officials, a Texas rancher and sheriffs at a Senate hearing Wednesday on border violence. "The problems along the border will continue unless our federal government does ...
U.S. Will Clamor For Mexican Workers In Coming Years, Fox Says

ABOARD THE PRESIDENTE JUAREZ - Flying high above the Yucatan peninsula, Mexican President Vicente Fox leaned forward and pointed a finger to make this point: In a few years, he said, the United States may be begging Mexico for the very workers it's now trying to keep out by building a wall along the border. With the looming retirement from the work force of the U.S. baby boom generation, and with Mexico's population growth-rate declining, immigration from Mexico will slow just as demand for workers in the United States will be growing, he told Knight Ridder in an interview aboard his presidential jet. "I am absolutely convinced that by 2010, the United States will have a great ...

March 2, 2006 Violence on the U.S.-Mexico border is at an all-time high because illegal aliens are more willing to attack U.S. authorities, and an increasing number also are convicted criminals, border sheriffs said yesterday. Whereas 10 years ago they would flee back to Mexico if anyone challenged them, now aliens make it clear they will fight, the sheriffs told a Senate Judiciary Committee panel. "They make it known to the deputies: 'We're going through, you're not going to stop us,' " said Sheriff A. D'Wayne Jernigan of Val Verde County in Texas. And Sheriff Larry A. Dever of Cochise County in Arizona said when smugglers are involved, law enforcement now expects the worst. ...

(03-01) 08:22 PST WASHINGTON (AP) -- One of every seven U.S. residents is Hispanic, and that will eventually increase to nearly one of every four, according to a new study that calls for improved education to integrate the minority group into society. "Failure to close Hispanics' education and language gap risks compromising their ability to both contribute to and share in national prosperity," cautions the study by the National Research Council, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences. Gabriela Lemus, director of policy and legislation at the League of United Latin American Citizens, agreed that graduating from high school is critical. Without that "they are less ...

(02-28) 18:50 PST MIAMI, (AP) -- A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the U.S. government acted unreasonably when it sent home 15 Cubans who thought they had safely made it to the United States when their boat reached an abandoned bridge in the Florida Keys. Judge Federico Moreno ordered the federal government to make its best effort to help the immigrants return to the United States, said Kendall Coffey, an attorney for the Cubans and their relatives. One of the 15 migrants, Elizabeth Hernandez, 23, was celebrating the decision from her family's home in Matanza, Cuba. "I am so happy," she told The Associated Press by telephone Tuesday evening.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 — The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee unveiled draft legislation on Friday that would create a temporary guest worker program that could allow hundreds of thousands of foreigners to fill vacant jobs in the United States for periods of up to six years. The draft circulated by the lawmaker, Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, would also authorize millions of illegal immigrants who arrived in this country before Jan. 4, 2004 to remain here indefinitely, along with their spouses and children, as long as they registered with the Department of Homeland Security, paid back taxes and remained law-abiding and employed, among other conditions.

Pushing for immigration reform that would legalize as many as 11 million undocumented immigrants, Sen. John McCain was preaching to the converted Thursday night at a packed town hall meeting that at times seemed part stump speech for the Arizona Republican who's eyeing a run for the White House. ''Our legislation will be taken up in the United States Senate within the next weeks and you've got to go to work,'' McCain told the more than 1,000 cheering and chanting supporters at a cavernous auditorium at Miami Dade College's Wolfson campus downtown, urging all to garner grass-roots support for the bill he and Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass, have co-sponsored. ``You've got to work not only here in ...

February 22, 2006 NEW ORLEANS -- Pinto Robson has seen a big change in the number of migrant laborers gathering each morning by the Gen. Robert E. Lee statue since he started parking his silver breakfast truck nearby three months ago. "In December, there were about 100 people; now, there are about 600 every morning," he said, gesturing toward the bronze figure of the Confederate icon, which looms over a scene that seems as good an indicator as any of the changes this city faces in its recovery from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. "They come from countries across Latin America," said Mr. Robson, 62, an immigrant from Brazil, who is friendly with many of the laborers as he ...

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration has decided to extend special temporary U.S. residency for Central Americans for another 12 months, a spokeswoman for Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said Wednesday. The decision means hundreds of thousands of Central Americans would not have to return home when their Temporary Protected Status ends next month. Alex Cruz, a press aide to Ros-Lehtinen, said the administration plans to officially announce the decision Friday, but Ros-Lehtinen announced it in a news release on Wednesday after she was informed of the decision by the White House. "We are just letting our community people know because there are so many folks who depend on TPS," Cruz ...

Mexico’s Surprising Admission—Emigration Not Necessary
Are Mexican illegal aliens such desperately poor people that they will die of starvation unless we let them into the United States?
Or is the truth a little more complicated?
The pro-open borders government of Mexico recently made a surprising public admission.
Not surprising for its content, but surprising that they publicly admitted it.
On January 9th, at a press conference in Los Pinos (the Mexican White House), Fox administration spokesman Ruben Aguilar was asked about emigration.
Here is part of what he said, “In some cases it [emigration] has to do with real problems of poverty, ...

How To Kill America By Frosty Wooldridge 2-20-6 Sitting here at this keyboard, sweat runs down my brow after reading the hundreds of emails responding to the "WHY?" piece last week. If you don't think Americans passionately care about the immigration nightmare raging in our country, think again! Most expressed despair, defeat, anger and outrage. Many said, "Keep your powder dry!" In my columns, I'm connecting dots for Americans as to 'how' fast America is being killed and 'why' we're losing our country. Your responses prompted me to share them with the rest of the nation. At the end of these responses, I will make a few suggestions because everyone wants to know what ...

In preparation for a debate in the Senate next month on immigration policy, Senator Pete Domenici (R-New Mexico) has introduced legislation that would grant amnesty to an estimated 12 million people now living illegally in the U.S. and admit an additional 500,000 new guest workers plus dependant family members every year. Under the Domenici legislation, known as the Welcoming Immigrants to a Secure Homeland (WISH) of 2006 bill, all of the "guest workers" would eventually be allowed to become permanent residents. In addition to creating a new guest worker visa, the WISH Act would vastly expand existing guest worker programs. Under the Domenici bill, limits on H-1B high tech ...

COAL RUN, Ky., Feb. 18 (AP) — Charlie Bearse, the president of Sidney Coal, was expressing an opinion that many in these mountains secretly share. The problem was, he put that opinion in writing. "It is common knowledge that the work ethic of the Eastern Kentucky worker has declined from where it once was," Mr. Bearse wrote to the state mining board. Bad attitudes and drug abuse, he argued, were affecting attendance "and, ultimately, productivity." Mr. Bearse's appeal to the board: Relax an English-only policy in the mines so he could bring in Hispanic workers. American companies often say they need migrant workers to do low-paying, menial tasks that many ...

There are jobs that most Americans simply won't do. And because of that, the government should work to let immigrants in to do those jobs, even if it's on a temporary basis. President George W. Bush outlined that plan to a crowd of more than 300 people at Cruise Terminal 3 at Channelside in Tampa Friday in an appearance meant to boost his administration's Global War on Terror. "If there's a willing employer and a willing worker on a job an American won't do, then it's OK to fill that job, so long as you're not here permanently," Bush said. "I believe there ought to be a temporary worker program." The president said that a lot of the country's border patrol, especially ...

The 21st Century Paul Revere Ride By Frosty Wooldridge 2-2-6 On the night of April 18, 1775, average citizen and silversmith Paul Revere jumped on his horse and galloped from Charleston to Lexington to warn of the British troops advancing from Boston. Later, Longfellow immortalized this gallant American in his epic poem, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." Most Americans don't know another fact about Revere: he led the Boston Tea Party. He earned a meager education, yet became a lieutenant-colonel in the army to fight the British. When his country called, he answered! Revere illustrates what an average citizen can accomplish through sheer grit and determination. Call it 'noble ...
