What Would We Do If All The Illegal Immigrants Left? Donna Poisl May 13, 2006 There are several proposals for immigration reform being discussed now. Each one says it will solve the problem of so many illegal immigrants coming to and staying in this country. Some are offering amnesty, others guest worker cards, others temporary cards. Some people are talking about rounding them up and sending them all "back to where ever they came from". How would we do that? First, how would we find all of them? If we were able to find them, who would do the processing and paperwork to organize the deportation? Would we hire planes and buses and buy them tickets to go home? Where would we ...
The War On Immigration Will Fail

The War On Immigration Will Fail by Wade A. Mitchell [Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006] Let's look at the problem of immigration from another angle. There exists a market demand for low-skilled cheap labor. Part of this demand is being met by outsourcing of jobs overseas. The rest is met by vast numbers of immigrants coming to this country. Illegal immigration is the market supplying a demand. A demand is being met and satisfied. When viewed this way, how is this a problem? This triumph of the market is not in itself a problem. This can only be viewed as a problem when the illegal immigrants expect goods and services from the state that existing residents must pay for. These come in ...
Immigration Bullshit vs Reality

May 12, 2006 Immigration Bullshit vs Reality So I posted a little rant about "immigration" and some people who read it freaked out. What I pointed out in my rant was : 1. There is no such thing as an "illegal immigrant", and borders are not legitimate. 2. There is no such thing as "stealing a job". 3. People who argue for "immigration" are just as racist as those who argue against it, and everyone should just shut the hell up. If you think these three basic premises make me an extremist, then you have a very sad perspective on the world. To go through these again... 1. The construct of "illegal immigrant" is predicated on the ...
There’s No Such Thing As an "Illegal Alien" : It's All A Government Hoax

There’s No Such Thing As an "Illegal Alien" Written by Marc Stevens There’s an incredible amount of energy expended on the subject of so-called "illegal aliens." These are men, women and children who allegedly are not in the "country" "legally." People who think they’re "citizens" believe physical force may be used against "illegal aliens" to cage them and send them back to their "country." This use of physical violence is called "deportation." One of the biggest complaints about these so-called "illegals" is how much they cost "citizens" and "taxpayers" in welfare ...

Mr. Fox, Cough Up $300,000 John Trumbo, a sheriff in northeastern Oregon, sends Mexico's president a letter asking for funds to help pay for jailed illegal immigrants. By Tomas Alex Tizon Times Staff Writer May 12, 2006 PENDLETON, Ore. — Out of ideas and low on cash one cold morning, the man with the biggest badge in town put his meaty fingers on a keyboard and tapped out a letter to the leader of Mexico. "Dear Precidente [sic] Fox," it began. "My name is John Trumbo. I am Sheriff of Umatilla County in northeastern Oregon, United States of America." Illegal immigrants "from your country" who committed crimes here, the letter said, cost Americans lots ...

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is looking at ways the military can help provide more security along the U.S. southern border, defense officials said Thursday, once again drawing the nation's armed forces into a politically sensitive domestic role. On Capitol Hill on Thursday, the House voted 252-171 to allow Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to assign military personnel under certain circumstances to help the Homeland Security Department perform border security. The House added the provision to a larger military measure. Paul McHale, the assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense, asked officials this week to come up with options for the use of military resources and troops ...
Car wash can't ask status of workers

A federal judge in Chicago has found that a suburban car wash tried to intimidate its mostly Hispanic employees by requiring verification of their immigration status after three workers complained about alleged sexual harassment. U.S. District Judge Ronald Guzman issued a protective order May 5 barring Glenview Car Wash from seeking further information about employees' immigration status until a pending harassment suit concludes. The class-action suit, filed on behalf of the car wash's male employees in September by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is based on charges filed with that agency by Federico Antimo, Elmer Bethancourt and Diego Perez. The suit alleges the trio ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush will push for a broad overhaul of U.S. immigration laws in a prime-time address on Monday that comes after weeks of nationwide rallies and a revived Senate effort to pass a bill. The White House announced the Oval office address as a Defense Department official said the Pentagon was considering options for possibly sending troops or equipment to help with security on the U.S.-Mexican border. Bush backs a guest-worker program that would let immigrants work temporarily in the United States, which has cost him support among some conservatives. As part of what he calls a comprehensive approach to immigration, he is also pushing measures to ...

Immigration Billboards Going Up In North Texas Stephanie Lucero Reporting (CBS 11 News) DALLAS Conservatives are firing back at those who support amnesty and a guest worker program for illegal immigrants. Their latest weapon is a billboard located on Stemmons Freeway in Dallas. If you work near downtown Dallas it'll be hard to miss one billboard during your commute. Dallas is the first city to get one, but there are plans to put these signs up from California to Florida. "Stop the Invasion" is a reference to the massive influx of immigrants who enter the United States illegally. “We must stop the invasion. We cannot have amnesty because amnesty is in essence a ...

Last week, in response to having heard that McDonalds--a place I have been known to swing into for a quick burger and coke--was supporting immigration reform, I wrote corporate HQs to get their policy direct from them. Whatever I heard did not provide enough information to know which side of the bread McDonalds butters. Below is the response I received from someone named Nancy from the Customer Response Center, and below that is the email I sent (I just copied her whole email which included my email).

The Department of Homeland Security is working overtime to quell citizen outrage over the Border Patrol/Mexico/Minutemen story. The contradictory spin doctors are not doing a very good job. I'll have more in a moment. But now is a crucial time to step back and look at this disturbing episode in a larger, informed context-- that is, as part of the longstanding battle between DHS management and rank-and-file employees over strict, tough, and unapologetic immigration enforcement. Supervisors in Washington and in major Border Patrol sectors are cowed by ethnic activists, business lobbyists, and meddling Mexican consulates. Field agents are demoralized by top-down efforts--from the White House ...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate leaders reached a deal Thursday on reviving a broad immigration bill that could provide millions of illegal immigrants a chance to become American citizens and said they'll try to pass it before the end of May. The agreement, brokered by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) and Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), breaks a political stalemate that has lingered for weeks while immigrants and their supporters held rallies, boycotts and protests to push for action. "We congratulate the Senate on reaching agreement and we look forward to passage of a bill prior to Memorial Day," said Dana Perino, deputy White House press secretary. Key to the ...

Hepatitis Risk for East Asians in New York (It's a risk for everyone!)

Among east Asian immigrants in New York City, one person in seven carries the hepatitis B virus, a new study has found. The condition puts them at far greater risk than other Americans for deadly diseases like liver cancer and cirrhosis. Most of the people tested had no idea that they were infected, a fact that frustrates doctors who know that with proper screening and treatment, the disease can be controlled, if not cured. But three-quarters of the people in the study had no health insurance, and even those who did had trouble getting coverage for screening. The study, led by researchers at New York University School of Medicine, found that 15 percent of east Asians in New York — as ...

NEW YORK (CNN)-- Reports this week that the Border Patrol is notifying the Mexican government of the locations of Minutemen volunteers are being denied by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. True or not, the Bush administration continues to follow absurd policies on both issues of border security and illegal immigration. President Bush continues to push his guest worker program and amnesty for anywhere between 11 million and 20 million illegal aliens, and he insists still that nothing less than what he calls comprehensive immigration reform is acceptable. And the lies keep coming from both political parties. This president is not enforcing the immigration laws enacted by Congress, and ...
Is the U.S. Giving Mexico Intelligence about Americans?

There is no more explosive issue on the political landscape than illegal immigration. Not only has it sharply divided the American people, who want it stopped and reversed, from the political classes, which want to legitimize and, perforce, encourage more of it. It may be singularly responsible for President Bush’s alarmingly low approval ratings. Those, after all, are not being driven by the Left and the media. They’ve never been fans. The numbers are tanking thanks to flight by the Republican base and Reagan Democrats, who are apoplectic over the administration’s stubborn insouciance in the face of unabashed lawlessness that acutely threatens public safety. It was ...

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) -- Cingular Wireless LLC pulled a ringtone from its Web site Tuesday after learning that it carried a message the company called "blatantly offensive." The cell phone company became aware of the ringtone, which uses mixed English and Spanish and threatens deportation, after an inquiry from a reporter for The Brownsville Herald. The newspaper reported in its online edition Tuesday that the ringtone started with a siren, followed by a male voice saying in a Southern drawl, "This is la Migra," a slang term for the Border Patrol. "Por favor, put the oranges down and step away from the cell phone. I repeat-o, put the oranges down and step ...

May 10 (Bloomberg) -- Almost half of U.S. population growth last year was Hispanic, adding the equivalent of a city the size of Phoenix, U.S. Census Bureau statistics showed. The 1.3 million Hispanics added in the year that ended in July 2005 included 800,000 births and 500,000 immigrants, according to census figures released today. The nation grew by 2.8 million overall, to 296.4 million people. Hispanics are the U.S.'s largest minority group, at 42.7 million people, followed by blacks, at 39.7 million, according to the figures. Hispanics are now 14.4 percent of the population and blacks are 13.4 percent, Census spokesman Robert Bernstein said. ``It's important to underscore that a lot ...
