Not So 'Free Republic'’—The Shot Heard Around the Net

The shot heard around the Internet has been fired on http://FreeRepublic.com. The owner Jim Robinson and his moderators have launched a sniper style purge against members that disagree with the President's 'guest worker' amnesty or support more control of illegal immigration. Free Republic is an amazing tool for those looking for a good debate and news from around the country. The problem for the administration of the site is that their creation is allowing the participants to learn that the Bush immigration record and plans are shockingly out of line with the views of most conservatives. The management's answer to this conflict between the majority of conservatives and the influence of ...

July 22, 2006, 9:47 PM EDT BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. -- Twenty-five illegal immigrants employed as contract workers at this Air Force base were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The arrests of the construction and landscape workers were made Friday. The workers were "foreign nationals," according to a news release from the 2nd Bomb Wing that did not specify countries of origin. Most had obtained fraudulent Social Security and alien registration numbers to complete forms, the release said. The workers did not have access to secure information, 2nd Bomb Wing spokesman Lt. Frank Hartnett said. He would not say how the workers got on the base.

It Wasn't The Court Order She Sought Illegal Immigrant Seeks Order Against Husband. The Judge Tells Her To Get Out Or Be Deported. By Sam Quinones, Times Staff Writer July 20, 2006 A substitute judge hearing the case of an illegal immigrant seeking a restraining order against her husband threatened to turn her over to immigration officials if she didn't leave his courtroom. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Pro Tem Bruce R. Fink told Aurora Gonzalez during last week's hearing that he was going to count to 20 and that if she was still in his courtroom when he finished, he would have her arrested and deported to Mexico. In an interview Wednesday, Fink said that the woman had admitted in ...

Minutemen not watching over funds By Jerry Seper THE WASHINGTON TIMES July 20, 2006 A growing number of Minuteman Civil Defense Corps leaders and volunteers are questioning the whereabouts of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of dollars in donations collected in the past 15 months, challenging the organization's leadership over financial accountability. Chris Simcox Alan Keyes Many of the group's most active members say they have no idea how much money has been collected as part of its effort to stop illegal entry -- primarily along the U.S.-Mexico border, what it has been spent on or why it has been funneled through a Virginia-based charity headed by conservative Alan Keyes. ...
Close Our Borders!

We are told that the vast majority of Americans want our borders closed. When they say "our borders," they do not mean the one with Canada – the longest undefended border in the world. They mean the one with Mexico. Yet that border, while not quite open, is more like a sieve than a wall. The politicians dither. But politicians do not dither when their re-election is on the line. They see their opportunities, and they take them. So, what explains the dithering? I suggest that there is confusion – enormous confusion – over three words: close, our, and borders. CLOSE Close means prevent entry and exit. Americans do not want this. That would mean no travel ...
Senate Bill Seeks More Pay For Aliens [even as American workers at the same work site could earn less]

The Senate immigration bill would require that foreign construction laborers here under the guest-worker program be paid well above the minimum wage, even as American workers at the same work site could earn less. The bill "would guarantee wages to some foreign workers that could be higher than those paid to American workers at the same work site," says a policy paper released this week by the Senate's Republican Policy Committee. "This is unfair to U.S. workers, inappropriate, and unnecessary." The 11-page, harshly critical analysis of the Senate immigration bill on this one point reveals how torn Senate Republicans are over the larger issue of immigration. Though ...

July 12, 2006 History is What Comes Next Mexico Splits in Half: the Election Hits the Streets By JOHN ROSS A full week after the most viciously contested presidential election in its modern history, a Florida-sized fraud looms over the Mexican landscape and the nation has been divided almost exactly in half along political, economic, geographical and racial lines. Mexico has always been two lands "Illusionary Mexico" and "Profound Mexico" is how sociologist Guillermo Bonfils described the great divide between rich and poor. But now, should it be allowed to stand, right-winger Felipe Calderon's severely questioned 243.000 vote victory over left-wing populist ...
Toxic Peach Martini Sends Two to Hospital

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A woman and her sister had to go to the hospital after a bartender mistakenly dipped their martini glasses in a caustic substance used to clean the restaurant's fryer. The bartender ran out of sugar Saturday night at Doc's Gumbo Grille downtown and asked a dishwasher that speaks mainly Spanish for more sugar. The employee gave the bartender a box containing a white substance that looked like sugar, but it was the cleaner instead, restaurant owner Doug Goolsby said. "I hate that anybody gets hospitalized at your place of business. Mistakes happen, and it's regrettable," said Goolsby, who added the business has moved the cleaner to the basement. Rita ...

July10, 2006 Democracy Betrayed Electoral Fraud and Rebellion in Mexico By ROGER BURBACH Over half a million people took to the streets of Mexico City on Saturday to protest the fraudulent election of Felipe Calderon. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the real winner of the presidential election, told the huge crowd, "the elections were fraudulent from the start," adding the incumbent president, Vincente Fox "has betrayed democracy." The reason Fox and his National Action Party (PAN) pulled out all the stops to steal the election is quite simple-they are desperately afraid of the growing class rebellion by Mexico's poor and oppressed. The campaign slogan of Lopez ...

Latino Funds Help Family Businesses With Posterity in Mind By JAMES FLANIGAN Published: July 8, 2006 PASADENA, Calif. — When Daniel D. Villanueva, a former place kicker for the Los Angeles Rams and the Dallas Cowboys, hung up his football cleats for a career in broadcasting in 1968, he tapped into something big. The fledgling Los Angeles television station he joined helped form the Spanish International Network, which ultimately grew into Univision Communications. *snip* Now what intrigues Mr. Villanueva, 67, most is nurturing small companies and inspiring entrepreneurs to become the backbone of the next generation of Latino businesses. "The new generation is university- ...

July 8 / 9, 2006 The King is Dead, Long Live the King Mexico's Election Lacks Credibility By LAURA CARLSEN Mexico's official vote count unfolded more like a suspense novel than an electoral process yesterday. Commentators and common citizens sat poised at television or computer screens as Andrés Manuel López Obrador's two-and-a-half point lead gradually dwindled until-at four in the morning-the conservative candidate, Felipe Calderón, pulled ahead. The final tally showed an unbelievably thin margin of just over half a percentage point. The operative word here is "unbelievable."

Saturday, July 08, 2006 Star-Ledger Staff The mayor of a small Bergen County town is calling for a McDonald's boycott if the fast-food chain does not take down a Spanish-language billboard advertising iced coffee. Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan said the advertisement is "offensive" and "divisive" because it sends a message that Hispanic im migrants do not need to learn English. "The true things that bind us together as neighbors and community is our belief in the American flag and our common language," Lonegan said. "And when McDonald's sends a different message, that we're going to be different now, that causes resentment." Representatives for ...

7/8/2006 ADL Jews Defame Politician After Use Of The Word ‘Holocaust’ WASHINGTON — A Republican congressman from Iowa alleges that the Anti-Defamation League defamed him over claims that he compared illegal immigrants to Nazis. The ADL has been highly critical of a May 27 speech delivered by Rep. Steve King, an Iowa Republican, in which he argued that illegal immigrants have killed many more Americans since September 11, 2001, than were killed in the Al Qaeda attacks that day. King, who was speaking to a gathering of anti-immigration activists in Las Vegas, warned that “we have a slow motion holocaust on our hands.” In response, the ADL’s director, Abraham ...

Immigration and Social Disintegration By Thomas E. Brewton To say that we're a nation of immigrants is not an argument for allowing Hispanics to impose their language and culture upon the United States. The message of this article is not that immigration is bad, but that immigration without assimilation – linguistically and culturally – is disastrous. Multi-cultural and PC education, along with the welfare state, could hardly have been designed more effectively (borrowing Walter Lippmann's phrase) to dissolve American society in the acids of modernity and immigration. If these remain in power and if immigration continues at the pace of recent years, the United States will ...

Fri Jul 7, 10:04 PM ET Two Latino radio hosts credited for mobilizing hundreds of thousands this year in pro-immigrant protests said on Friday they would join the drive to increase the Hispanic and immigrant vote in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. Los Angeles disc jockeys Piolin (Tweetybird) and El Cucuy (the Bogeyman) said they will work with the National Council of La Raza and other organizations to push Latino immigrants living in the United States to become U.S. citizens and register to vote in time to cast ballots in 2008. Immigration promises to be one of the big issues in the 2006 mid-term congressional elections and the 2008 presidential election as the future of some 12 ...

City's sanctuary status mocked Signs send illegals to Cambridge By Yvonne Abraham, Globe Staff | July 5, 2006 When Cambridge recently renewed its status as a sanctuary city for all immigrants, including undocumented ones, the news barely caused a stir around here. But the move has made the city a target for an immigration control group based in Washington , which is starting a national campaign urging undocumented immigrants to flood into the Massachusetts city. ProjectUSA is raising money to pay for a billboard in northern New Jersey that it hopes will be the first of many across the country. The proposed billboard would read: ``Attention: Illegal Aliens. Cambridge, Mass. is a ...
Unity, yes, but still no anthem

It has all the makings of a reality TV show: The search for an artist with a homegrown song that can best serve as the anthem of the immigrant rights movement in Los Angeles. At least one number is being professionally produced with an ensemble of popular Mexican artists in the mold of "We Are the World," the all-star charity tune from the 1980s. But many more songs are sprouting spontaneously from amateur singers and songwriters within Southern California's Mexican community, inspired by recent protests against a proposed crackdown on immigrants without papers. Unsolicited cassettes, CDs and even DVDs have arrived by the dozens at the offices of Los Tigres del Norte, the famed ...
How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico

WASHINGTON - George W. Bush isn't the first Republican president to face a full-blown immigration crisis on the US-Mexican border. Fifty-three years ago, when newly elected Dwight Eisenhower moved into the White House, America's southern frontier was as porous as a spaghetti sieve. As many as 3 million illegal migrants had walked and waded northward over a period of several years for jobs in California, Arizona, Texas, and points beyond. President Eisenhower cut off this illegal traffic. He did it quickly and decisively with only 1,075 United States Border Patrol agents – less than one-tenth of today's force. The operation is still highly praised among veterans of the Border Patrol. ...

WASHINGTON — From Vermont to California and a host of unlikely places in between, many Republicans say they are convinced that tough immigration positions are what voters want to hear ahead of the November election, and, in fact, immigration could be the biggest issue of the year. "I honestly don't know a district where this is not an important issue, maybe the top issue or at least in the top three," said Richard Engle, spokesman for the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. "I happen to live in a nearby (congressional) district where there is an open seat, and every candidate is jumping over themselves to get in on this issue." Senate Republicans are ...

http://(CNSNews.com) - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is "a blooming idiot" for giving testimony on Wednesday that supports illegal aliens while attacking the rights of American gun owners, a pro-gun group has charged. During testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee at a hearing held in Philadelphia, Bloomberg said: "Although they broke the law by illegally crossing our borders ... our city's economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. The same holds true for the nation." That comment drew the ire of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA), which accused the mayor of being ...

July 6 (Bloomberg) -- Two key supporters of a Senate immigration measure calling for guest-worker and legalization programs said they would consider linking those provisions to toughened border security to help break a legislative deadlock. Senators Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican who heads the Judiciary Committee, and Edward Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, indicated interest in a compromise that would delay the Senate programs until House demands for improved border security are met. ``There's certainly the recognition that some of this is going to take longer than others,'' Kennedy said yesterday after a hearing on the Senate immigration measure in Philadelphia. ``The other ...
