WASHINGTON, May 25 — The negotiations between the White House and Congress that will follow the Senate's passage on Thursday of an immigration bill could decide not just how the nation confronts illegal immigration but also what strain of conservatism the Republican Party carries into the midterm elections and beyond. Will it be the compassionate brand Mr. Bush considers crucial to the party's future, in this case by signaling support for a provision in the Senate bill that would give most illegal immigrants an opportunity to become legal? Or will it be the more doctrinaire variety embraced by much of Mr. Bush's party in the House, one that shuns anything that smacks of amnesty for ...

THE US Senate voted for a groundbreaking legalisation programme for America’s estimated 12 million illegal immigrants last night. The bill, which would introduce the biggest shakeup in US immigration policy in 20 years, allows for a six-year programme before illegal immigrants can apply for citizenship. The bill would also allow an additional 200,000 guest workers into the US each year. Both Senate leaders and the White House welcomed the passing of the bill, saying it gave a historical opportunity for America to correct its outdated immigration laws. However, Senate leaders must try to match their bill with an anti-illegal immigration bill passed by the House of ...

After watching the Senate for the past several days I've come to the conclusion that John McCain has made a backroom deal with Bush. In return for his passionate support for amnesty, Cheney will step down after the mid-terms and McCain will replace him as V.P. This would allow him to be assured a place on the ticket. I see the ticket as follows. McCain/gonzales Clinton/menendez I think I'm gonna vote for Leroy Jones, a garbage collector in south Mississippi, then set back and watch how these ass kissing senators start babbling how they've known him for years, what a great president he'll make what great ideas he has and about the great leader he's gonna be. What a bunch of nitwits.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Legislation to secure U.S. borders and offer millions of illegal immigrants access to the American dream cleared the Senate on Thursday, a rare election-year reach across party lines and a triumph for President Bush. The 62-36 vote cleared the way for arduous summertime compromise talks with the House on its version that focuses on border enforcement - with no guarantee of success. "Why not say to those undocumented workers who are working the jobs that the rest of us refuse, come out from the shadows," said Arizona Republican John McCain, a key architect of the bill. The legislation includes money to better secure the borders, provide a new guest worker ...

The U.S. Border Patrol increased at a faster rate and apprehended more illegal aliens per year under President Clinton than under President Bush, according to statistics from a new, unpublished congressional research briefing report. Mr. Bush trails his predecessor on a series of measures of border security, says the briefing from the Congressional Research Service to the House Judiciary Committee, which was based on Department of Homeland Security data. Mr. Clinton increased the number of Border Patrol agents and pilots by 126 percent over his eight-year term, or an average of 642 per year, while Mr. Bush has averaged 411 new agents per year through 2005, for a total increase of 22.3 ...

Fragile Senate Coalition Set To Pass Bill on Immigration By Charles Babington Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, May 25, 2006; A03 The Senate moved to the verge of passing landmark immigration legislation yesterday, scheduling a final vote for today on a bill that would tighten the borders while allowing millions of illegal immigrants to stay in the country and permitting new guest workers to come and go. But the very mixture of get-tough and be-kind measures that have made Senate approval possible could prove the biggest obstacle to reaching an accord with the House, where conservatives are determined to secure the borders before tackling other matters. Senate leaders said their ...

"The magnitude of changes that are entailed in this bill -- and are largely unknown -- rival the impact of the creation of Social Security or the creation of the Medicare program," said Robert Rector, senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation who conducted the study.

(05-24) 20:29 PDT ATLANTA (AP) -- Former president Carter, a Democrat and frequent critic of President Bush, sees eye-to-eye with him on immigration. Carter on Wednesday called the Republican president's commitment to immigration reform "quite admirable," saying he agrees with Bush's support of a system that would eventually grant citizenship to some illegals. The Senate is set to vote as early as Thursday on a bill that calls for tougher border security as well as an eventual chance at citizenship for millions of men and women in the country illegally. The law should secure the nation's borders while "at the same time treating those who are here with respect and ...

Fridge Fills Up In Arizona Desert Season of Death Tue May 23, 2006 3:36pm ET170 By Frank Jack Daniel TUCSON, Arizona (Reuters) - So many illegal immigrants die of desert heat on the U.S.-Mexico border that an Arizona morgue has had to buy a refrigerated trailer to store its bodies, and it is building room for more. As temperatures begin to soar toward 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius), Bruce Parks, the head of the medical examiner's office in Tucson, worries that tighter security on the border may mean a gruesome toll this summer. The U.S. Senate on Monday backed plans by President Bush to send up to 6,000 National Guard troops to the border, which illegal immigrants say will force ...

The End of the Republic By Robert Locke Based upon the Senate vote to give amnesty to illegal aliens, I wish to formally and explicitly predict that if this legislation stands, this marks the moment at which the United States is finished as a nation. I am neither kidding nor exaggerating. This is it. The game is over. The USA will not survive as a country; it will go the way of the USSR, the only other nation commonly refered to as an "experiment." There will be no tricentennial. A hundred years from now, it will not appear on maps. A thousand years from now, its existence will only be known to history buffs and graduate students. Like ancient Athens, some will probably ...

PENCE UNVEILS NO AMNESTY IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence delivered the following speech entitled "Renewing the American Dream: The Real Rational Middle Ground on Immigration Reform" at the Heritage Foundation this afternoon. Of note: "Therefore, the solution is to setup a system that will encourage illegal aliens to self-deport and come back legally as guest workers. This may sound outside of the box, and it is. It may sound far-fetched and unrealistic, but it isn’t. It is based on sound, proven conservative principles. It places reliance on American enterprise and puts government back into its traditional role of protecting its ...
North American Union to Replace USA?

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy. Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada. President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much ...

They existed when he took office and throughout the last five years when he did nothing to correct them.These problems include:The pitiful number Border Patrol agents.The millions of illegal immigrants smuggled into the United States across the desert or in crowded 18-wheelers.

Among those who will be cleared of past crimes under the Senate's proposed immigration-reform bill would be the businesses that have employed the estimated 10 million illegal aliens eligible for citizenship and that provided the very "magnet" that drew them here in the first place. Buried in the more than 600 pages of legislation is a section titled "Employer Protections," which states: "Employers of aliens applying for adjustment of status under this section shall not be subject to civil and criminal tax liability relating directly to the employment of such alien." Supporters of the legislation insist that such provisions do not amount to ...

A joint statement published by the three presidents following their Baylor University summit announced the formation of an initial entity called, “The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” (SPP). The joint statement termed the SPP a “trilateral ...

Sun May 21, 2006 01:14 PM ET By Tim Gaynor NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (Reuters) - Non-Mexican Hispanics entering the United States illegally are studying up on Mexican history and geography, even learning to whistle the national anthem, to beat U.S. plans to fly them home. As part of a proposal to overhaul immigration laws and tighten border security, President Bush pledged last week to increase deportations of illegal immigrants from countries other than Mexico caught crossing the U.S. border. Mexicans, who make up most of the almost 1.2 million immigrants detained crossing the border illegally in 2005, are given a criminal background check and then sent over the frontier, usually within a ...

Washington -- The current migration of Mexicans and Central Americans to the United States is one of the largest diasporas in modern history, experts say. Roughly 10 percent of Mexico's population of about 107 million is now living in the United States, estimates show. About 15 percent of Mexico's labor force is working in the United States. One in every 7 Mexican workers migrates to the United States. Mass migration from Mexico began more than a century ago. It is deeply embedded in the history, culture and economies of both nations. The current wave began with Mexico's economic crisis in 1982, accelerated sharply in the 1990s with the U.S. economic boom, and today has reached record ...
