So, 1,952 miles X 1.6 million = $3,123,200,000.00 So, if we used Israel's cost estimate we could build the following for 3 Billion dollars: Another Option: Nobody seemed to get upset when we pissed this much money away: Iraq: the missing billions ($4 BILLION MISSING UNDER U.S. OCCUPATION IN IRAQ, AS OF LAST OCTOBER) President Vicente Fox Screams About A Fence, So It Must Be A Good Idea You guys know how tight I am, but I've had it!!

3% of Illegal Aliens Do Low-Paid Stoop Agricultural Labor; the Remaining 97% Take Jobs That Americans Want and Need The most recent Pew Hispanic Center 's study indicates that 97% of 12 to 20 million illegal aliens are working in construction, hospitality, manufacturing, restaurant, administrative and service jobs. Are these jobs that Americans will not do? The distinguished Senators Kennedy, McCain, Specter, Brownback, DeWine, Martinez , Hagel and Graham appear to believe that Americans are lazy and unmotivated to do a days work. If this is so, then who did these jobs before unethical employers opted to break the law by hiring a massive number of illegal aliens on the cheap? ...

Jews oppose immigration bills

A consortium of Jewish groups is taking action against two controversial immigration bills. The New York-based Jews for Racial and Economic Justice is gathering signatures for an ad opposing two immigration bills, one passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and one under debate in the Senate. The House bill calls for fining, detaining and deporting illegal immigrants, and for penalizing those who help them. The ad, which will be placed in newspapers across the country next week, calls upon Jews to remember, as they tell the Passover story, the millions of Jewish immigrants who came to America over the past two centuries. The ad reads, in part, “as Jews, we know that immigrants ...

Hispanic Groups Vow Protests In 60 US Cities GG2.NET NEWS [08/04/2006] US HISPANIC groups demanded an amnesty for illegal immigrants and planned a nation-wide day of protests, as a much-touted compromise immigration bill stalled in the Senate. The groups, which are organizing a wave of protests in 60 US cities on Monday in a bid to halt plans to expel illegal immigrants, reacted after the compromise law that would have allowed millions of undocumented workers to normalize their status in the United States failed to pass in the Senate. But Latino leaders said that even the compromise bill that deadlocked in the Senate was inadequate. "We do not want half measures, we demand an ...

NEWARK, N.J. -- The men both stood in a busy hardware store parking lot, but their lives were far apart. On one end, Oscar Bautista of El Salvador said he had been waiting more than three hours for a job. Across the lot, Art Jackson loaded potting soil into his Dodge Durango. He complained that immigrants are making it harder for Americans to keep good jobs, especially blacks. ''You need to take care of home first,'' said Jackson, an African-American phone salesman from northern New Jersey. Blacks and Latinos are often united on social and political issues. But they often differ when it comes to immigration. Newcomers make black progress harder, said Wesley Crawford, who works at Source ...

Bush Threatens Veto of Spending Bills AP & Washington Post ^ | 4/7/6 | Andrew Taylor Posted on 04/07/2006 7:51:24 PM PDT by Crackingham President Bush said Friday he would use his power to veto spending bills if Congress does not cut the federal budget as he has asked. In over five years in office, Bush has never vetoed any bill. But he said that restraining spending was crucial to cutting the deficit in half by 2009 as he has promised. "If necessary, I will enforce spending restraint through the exercise of the veto," the president said. Bush's brief statement from the White House's Diplomatic Reception Room came a day after feuds among rival Republican factions led ...

You didn’t see many Jews amid the sea of Mexican and American flags during the recent pro-immigrant rallies that filled city streets, but Jews and Jewish groups, in largely liberal Los Angeles, have been advocating on behalf of immigrants, mostly outside the view of television cameras. Among local Jewish organizations, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has been leading the way: Its regional branch has been developing and disseminating a pro-immigrant resolution for roughly six months. The resulting declaration, recently approved by the Pacific Southwest Region of the ADL, calls for humane treatment of illegal immigrants, while also accepting the need for “security precautions ... ...
Senate Vote Shelves Immigration Bill

(04-07) 13:01 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate sidetracked sweeping immigration legislation Friday amid partisan recriminations, leaving in doubt prospects for passage of a measure that offered the hope of citizenship to millions of men, women and children living in the United States illegally. The bill gained only 38 votes on a key procedural test, far short of the 60 needed to advance. The vote marked a turnabout from Thursday, when the Senate's two leaders had both hailed a last-minute compromise as a breakthrough in the campaign to enact the most far-reaching changes in immigration law in two decades. But Republicans soon accused Democrats of trying to squelch their amendments, ...

By E. EDUARDO CASTILLO | Associated Press April 6, 2006 MEXICO CITY (AP) - The Mexican government on Thursday applauded the U.S. Senate's progress on legislation that would help many of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States obtain legal status and citizenship. The Senate was reviewing a compromise proposal that would require illegal immigrants who have been in the United States for two to five years to return home briefly and re-enter as temporary workers. They could then begin seeking citizenship. Illegal immigrants who have been in the United States more than five years would not be required to return home. Those in the country less than two years would be required to ...
Senate immigration overhaul in doubt

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. Senate compromise on an overhaul of immigration law appeared to get bogged down late on Thursday in the face of opposition by some Republicans who say it would give amnesty to lawbreakers. It appeared unlikely the Senate would approve before a two-week congressional break on Friday the radical immigration reform that would give millions of illegal immigrants a chance to earn U.S. citizenship. The bill's backers expressed fear that failure to enact the legislation before lawmakers leave for their spring break could hurt its chances in a congressional election year. Senate Republican Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of ...
Senate Bill Puts Citizenship Up for Sale For The Modest Price Of $2,000

Posted Apr 06, 2006 The Senate is currently considering legislation that would, among other things, sell citizenship to illegal immigrants for the modest price of $2,000. All Americans should take offense. The immigration reform bill in question amounts to a massive blanket amnesty which would allow the 12 million illegal aliens currently in the United States to seek citizenship without even returning to their home country. Cautious to avoid the stigma of "amnesty," however, the bill’s defenders have erected an assortment of weak obstacles to absolutely unfettered citizenship. This is simply window dressing. Sen. Teddy Kennedy (D.-Mass.), the architect of the bill's guest ...

Senate GOP to filibuster alien bill

Senate Republicans will filibuster their own immigration bill today in the face of steadfast refusal by Democrats to allow amendments to the bill that many conservatives view as granting amnesty to illegal aliens. As an alternative, Majority Leader Bill Frist reached an agreement last night with fellow Republicans on a new comprehensive immigration plan that includes increasing border security and a guest-worker plan, but still does not resolve concerns about amnesty. The new plan would allow illegal aliens who have been in the United States for more than five years to remain in the country working while applying for U.S. citizenship. Those who have been here between two and five years ...

April 6 (Bloomberg) -- Senate Republicans reached an agreement on procedures for allowing undocumented aliens to apply for citizenship, clearing an obstacle that stalled legislation overhauling U.S. immigration laws. ``It moves the debate forward,'' Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee told reporters last night. The compromise splits the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants into three groups, based on how long they have been in the U.S., for the purpose of setting rules on their eligibility to apply for legal status. Under the plan hammered out by Republicans last night, the more than 1 million undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. after Jan. 7, 2004, would have ...

SPRINGFIELD, Massachusetts (AP) -- An argument at a baby shower escalated into a brawl in which one man was shot and the pregnant guest of honor was beaten with a stick, police said. Three people were arrested after the fight, described by police as a "baby shower gone bad." Authorities said the shooting victim, Aristotle Garcia, got into a fight with a man who is dating his ex-girlfriend. The argument, over whether the woman let their 5-year-old daughter drink beer, escalated and drew in two other people -- Jazz Rivas and Juan Velazquez, said Police Lt. Cheryl C. Claprood. When the baby shower's hostess tried to intervene, Rivas began hitting some of the guests, including the ...
