(05-21) 15:27 PDT FARMERS BRANCH, Texas (AP) -- A federal judge Monday blocked enforcement of a voter-endorsed ordinance preventing apartment rentals to most illegal immigrants in this Dallas suburb, opponents of the ban said. The ordinance was to take effect Tuesday, more than a week after voters approved it. Opponents had filed three requests in federal court for an injunction to stop its enforcement. The ordinance requires managers to verify that renters are U.S. citizens or legal immigrants before leasing to them, with some exceptions. Violators face fines of up to $500, and each day would be considered a separate violation. Only the federal government can determine whether a ...

Francisco Gimenez risked his life to get into United States. He is not planning to leave in a hurry. Like many members of Los Angeles' immigrant community, the 27-year-old butcher is skeptical about proposed legislation intended to offer illegal workers a path to citizenship. Under reforms announced last week, Gimenez would be required to return to Mexico at some point in order to secure the right to work legally in the United States, possibly paying up to 5,000 dollars in fines additionally. Gimenez fears however that once he leaves America he won't be allowed back in. "I don't really understand that much about the bill, but I'd have to be crazy to go back to Mexico ...
Senate puts off final action on immigration deal until June

WASHINGTON — Senate leaders agreed Monday that they would wait until June to take final action on a bipartisan plan to give millions of unlawful immigrants legal status. The measure, which also tightens border security and workplace enforcement measures, unites a group of influential liberals, centrists and conservatives and has White House backing, but it has drawn criticism from across the political spectrum. In a nod to that opposition, Senate leaders won't seek to complete it before a hoped-for Memorial Day deadline. "It would be to the best interests of the Senate ... that we not try to finish this bill this week," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., as ...

Dr. Robert Rector, Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, talks with Mark Levin about the costs of amnesty. Take-away: Every low-income citizen added to the population collects, on average, $30,000 per year from the government in services -- schooling, hospitals, Social Security (including supplemental SS for low income people who haven't paid much into the system), Medicaid, etc. Each low-income citizen pays about $10,000 per year in taxes, total. Net: Each new low-income citizen added to the population costs the nation around $18,000 per year, to be borne by other taxpayers. At retirement, it gets worse. Total cost: $2.5 trillion (with a t) flowing out of Social ...

(05-21) 13:17 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- Key senators and the White House are eager to push their bipartisan immigration deal through the Senate by Memorial Day, but as the Senate opened debate on the issue Monday, hope for that deadline was slipping. Critics of the measure denounced its key elements, including its quick grant of legal status to millions of unlawful immigrants, and said they would seek to revise it. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said it was "unthinkable" that the Senate would complete the measure this week, issuing a thinly veiled filibuster threat should proponents try to speed it through. "I'm prepared to use whatever tactics are appropriate to resist ...

Link Sunday, May 20, 2007 Martinez: Immigration bill could save GOP WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican National Committee Chairman Sen. Mel Martinez rejected the claim that the new immigration bill will anger conservatives and destroy the GOP's chances to win in the 2008 election. On CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer Sunday, Martinez said immigration "could be the saving of the Republican Party, frankly. And to do nothing would be the wrong thing for the American people." Martinez is optimistic that the controversial legislation will make it through Congress, and he is counting on President Bush "to get us over the finish line." --CNN Late Edition Producer ...

Response to White House Myth/Fact on Immigration Bill

The White House released a "Myth/Fact" document about the immigration bill last week. But instead of setting the record straight, it perpetuated more myths. What follows are 10 myths the White House is telling us about the amnesty agreement. 1. MYTH: This is not amnesty. • FACT: This is amnesty. Title VI of this bill is amnesty, plain and simple. According to an op-ed by former Attorney General Ed Meese that appeared in the New York Times last year discussing the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, “the difference is that President Reagan called this what it was: amnesty. Indeed, look up the term ‘amnesty’ in Black’s Law Dictionary, and ...
O’Reilly warns of ‘consequences’ of immigration deal: "reluctantly supports legislation"

O’Reilly warns of ‘consequences’ of immigration deal: America will become less white: Reluctantly, and I mean reluctantly, “Talking Points” is going to support this legislation. It’s the best we can get and does improve the situation. But make no mistake, it’s not fair. It drastically alters the United States of America. And there will be unintended consequences all over the place. The new census report says America’s now one-third minority. And in four states — California, New Mexico, Texas, and Hawaii — whites are the minority. So with the infusion of as many as 20 to 30 million new citizens in the next 10 years, the landscape of America ...

U.S. cracking down on smugglers who bring Cubans to Florida (12:45 p.m.) Article Launched: 05/18/2007 12:47:11 PM MDT MIAMI (AP) — A man signaled with a flashlight in the early July morning as his pregnant wife and 30 other Cubans huddled along the coast of Matanzas, Cuba. A speedy fishing boat pulled close to shore and two smugglers loaded the group aboard. Then, like thousands of other Cubans who attempt the trip each year, they prayed the cramped vessel would make it across the roughly 150 miles to Key West. If caught at sea by the Cuban or U.S. coast guards, they would be returned to the communist island to be ostracized, denied work, even imprisoned. If their boat capsized, ...

So Presidente Fox gave his poor the "bum's rush" out of Mexico: ...

Last year it appeared we dodged the bullet when proposed immigration reforms died on “The Hill.” Unfortunately, the mad rush to “do something” has taken over the common sense of too many of our political leaders and we may actually see some form of immigration reform become law in the near future. Most unfortunately, if this “reform” includes the proposed legalization and guest worker provisions currently being touted, whatever euphoria the politicos and the media may experience won’t last long because nothing passed in that context will work in the real world. In a nutshell, here’s why. The Federal immigration bureaucracy that will be tasked with ...

McCain (AZ) and Kennedy (MA) and President Bush.

(05-18) 16:30 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- The fragile coalition that produced this week's immigration deal risks being picked apart by forces across the political spectrum as the measure begins moving through Congress. Lawmakers want to revise key elements, such as letting millions of illegal immigrants stay in the U.S., favoring skills and education over families and setting out the terms of a new temporary worker program. Any one of the changes has the potential to sink the whole measure, which was unveiled with fanfare Thursday but was still being drafted late Friday. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, who helped negotiate the compromise, called it "very ...

(05-17) 18:47 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a striking reach across party lines, the White House and key lawmakers agreed Thursday on a sweeping immigration plan to grant legal status to millions of people in the country unlawfully. Sealed after months of secretive bargaining, the deal mandates bolstered border security and a high-tech employment verification system to prevent illegal workers from getting jobs. President Bush said the proposal would "help enforce our borders but equally importantly, it'll treat people with respect." The compromise brought together an unlikely alliance of liberal Democrats such as Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and conservative ...

US Congress in key immigration deal AFP Published: Thursday May 17, 2007 Key US Democrat and Republican senators said Thursday they had reached a deal on bringing 12 million illegal immigrants out of the shadows, after exhaustive road-the-clock talks. Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy said the deal was the best chance in years to secure US borders and provide a path to legal status for illegal immigrants. The crunch talks, which stretched into overtime this week, and forced Senate Democratic leaders to postpone debate on the issue, produced an immigration bill which is now likely to be taken up by the chamber next week. The process was seen as the last chance to broker a deal on the ...
