(05-17) 10:37 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- Key senators and the White House reached agreement Thursday on an immigration overhaul that would grant quick legal status to millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S. and fortify the border. The plan would create a temporary worker program to bring new arrivals to the U.S. A separate program would cover agricultural workers. New high-tech enforcement measures also would be instituted to verify that workers are here legally. The compromise came after weeks of painstaking closed-door negotiations that brought the most liberal Democrats and the most conservative Republicans together with President Bush's Cabinet officers to produce a ...

WASHINGTON -- The House voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to delay a Bush administration plan to allow Mexican trucks full access to U.S. highways. The measure, authored by Rep. Nancy Boyda, D-Kan., would require the trucks to be declared safe first, and Mexico would have to give U.S. truckers the same access south of the border. The House voted 411-3 to approve a three-year Department of Transportation pilot program that would restrict opening the border to 100 carriers based in Mexico. They would be allowed to use a maximum of 1,000 vehicles under the pilot program. The Bush administration wanted to start a pilot program this year that would run for a year before fully opening the border to ...

Michael Barone's occasional forays into sociology are always a pleasure to come across. Like the rest of his work, they are concise, well-researched, original, and always marked by clarity. Barone goes where the data takes him, and never seems to have an agenda or an ideological ax to grind. All this is true of his latest such piece, "The Realignment of America" which appeared in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, May 8. While going through recent census estimates, Barone discovered a pattern until now overlooked: the old coastal cities, or "Coastal Megalopolises" are steadily becoming dominated by immigrants, while at the same time native Americans are ...

Thousands of illegal immigrants and their children marched in Las Vegas and elsewhere earlier this month in celebration of May Day, which the Soviets turned into the day of international communist solidarity. In Los Angeles, numerous demonstrators cursed and threw bottles at the cops -- which is odd considering authorities persist in showing a fantastic forbearance in the face of these recurring opportunities to round them all up and put them on one-way buses to Hermosillo. You couldn't make this stuff up. (Some will say the kids, at least, are automatically U.S. citizens. Go read the 14th Amendment. Depends on whether they and their illegal alien mothers were "subject to the ...

Voters in this Dallas suburb became the first in the nation Saturday to prohibit landlords from renting to illegal immigrants. The ban was approved by a vote of 68 percent to 32 percent, with two-thirds of precincts reporting. The first such anti-illegal immigrant ordinance requires apartment managers to verify that renters are U.S. citizens or legal immigrants before leasing to them. Minors and people 62 and over are exempt from having to prove their immigration status or citizenship. Families that include citizens and illegal-immigrant members could lease if they meet three conditions: they're already tenants, heads of households or spouses are legally in the U.S., and the family ...

President Bush, promoting bipartisan immigration talks as they reach a critical stage, said Saturday that Republicans and Democrats are building consensus that could produce a bill this year. "I am optimistic we can pass a comprehensive immigration bill and get this problem solved for the American people this year," Bush said in his weekly radio address. Bush used the address to put pressure on senators as they prepare to hold a vote on the contentious issue next week. Signing an overhaul into law would be viewed as a marquee domestic achievement for the president. He has dispatched two members of his Cabinet, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 11, 2007(CBS) With protesters taking to the streets, and Americans looking to Washington for a solution, never before has immigration reform been tackled this way: Politicians at opposite ends of the debate collaborating in secret to devise a new comprehensive plan. According to CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson, the group, which includes Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, has met for hours several times a week since March — with Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff acting as point man for the White House.

Backed by the largest Spanish-language broadcast network in the U.S., a massive campaign by Latino media and grass-roots groups to spur millions of eligible Hispanic residents to become U.S. citizens is showing results that could influence the agenda and outcome of the 2008 election.

The U.S. is a "nation of laws." Our U.S. Constitution mandates all laws enforced equally. We agree that our citizens deserve and receive preference, over and above any foreign-nationals here for any purpose or reason. In any nation, we implement immigration laws for three main reasons:
1. Protect jobs for citizen-residents and legal immigrants, AND
2. Protect citizens from disease already eradicated in our nation, AND
3. Protect citizens from harm by seasoned criminal aliens.

Cut in illegal (Border) crossings tied to slow economy, not troops, experts say

Cut in illegal crossings tied to slow economy, not troops, experts say Daniel González The Arizona Republic May. 9, 2007 12:00 AM It seems like a simple cause and effect. Six thousand National Guard soldiers descend on the U.S.-Mexican border and apprehensions of undocumented immigrants drop by 27 percent in a year. But economists say look further. The main factor driving down illegal immigration is a slowing economy, especially in the construction industry, which employs many undocumented workers, economists say. Security plays a lesser role. Dawn McLaren, a research economist at Arizona State University, has tracked the correlation precisely. She has studied the ...

I’ve been thinking about Don Imus. The irreverent New York radio talker was fired last month for saying, in the course of some casual on-air banter, that Rutgers University’s winning women’s basketball team included some "nappy-headed ho’s." Did this overgrown teen-ager (hold your tears; Imus and rival Howard Stern have made millions channeling our inner potty jokes) really believe those women athletes were whores? Of course not. Imus, now past 65, was trying to stay hip by imitating the jive talk that our black "entertainers" toss about with abandon, the same way David Letterman graces his monologues with phrases like "Let me axe you a ...

A battle between Texas and the Bush administration is brewing over construction of the Trans-Texas Corridor after the state legislature passed a two-year moratorium. The Texas House passed HB1892 Wednesday after the Senate last week approved an earlier version of the moratorium on a project some critics see as part of a "NAFTA superhighway" system and ties with Canada and Mexico that threaten U.S. sovereignty. The bill has been sent to Gov. Rick Perry for signature by May 14, but it passed with veto-proof margins of 27-4 in the Senate and 139-1 in the House. The Bush administration appears determined to fight the moratorium. WND reported last week FHWA Chief Counsel James D. ...
