According to Diana Mull, president of Californians for Population Stabilization and an expert on immigration, the number of undocumented migrants in the United States is currently more than the entire population of New York State. It is larger than the combined populations of Alaska, ...

Fractured States Of America - Part 2, Danger Of Critical Mass By Frosty Wooldridge http://NewsWithViews.com 9-30-5 One thousand eight hundred years ago, Romans allowed Vandals an open ticket into Italy. Big mistake! The Vandals and other barbarians--Romans were barbarians too, but that is another story--gained critical mass. Consequently, Vandals overwhelmed Rome. The once greatest civilization known to humanity gasped its last breath in 476 A.D. If you believe the United States, as the world's only superpower, is too mighty to fall, look around you for graphic evidence pouring into every state in the Union. Today, as most Americans carry on their busy lives, they don't realize we ...

Government officials in the outpost of Ceuta said the two were either crushed in a stampede or fell, with 30 others injured. The Civil Guard said one was trampled to death and the other suffocated. State radio cited Spanish police sources as saying four Africans had died in the mass influx. "We've never seen numbers like this before -- a group this big and so organised ...

In ethnically diverse Los Angeles, many immigrants find that learning Korean, Spanish or Mandarin is more important than English. Manuel Aliga, a Peruvian immigrant, has spent years studying Korean. He runs a store that sells soccer supplies in Koreatown. At the beginning, English was very important -- and it still is, if I need to go to a government office or court or get a license, Aliaga told the Los Angeles Daily News. Aliaga began learning Korean because he worked in Korean owned groceries and wanted to talk to his employers and customers. Now, he needs to communicate with his own customers, suppliers and other business owners in the neighborhood. But he has also become an admirer ...

The number of new illegal immigrants to the United States surpassed the number of authorized immigrants from 1999 through at least last year, according to a study based on government statistics that was released today by the Pew Hispanic Center. The study said that immigration to the United States-- legal and illegal, from all regions of the world-- rose during the 1990s, peaked in 2000 and declined substantially since 2001 as the national economy slowed. The number of new arrivals rose in 2004, as economic conditions improved, the study said. Although, the arrival of both authorized and unauthorized immigrants declined with the economic downturn, the number of legal immigrants declined ...

September 25, 2005 The Sunday Times Forced marriage deals blamed for Asian ghettos David Leppard and Ali Hussain THE number of British Asians bringing in spouses from the Indian subcontinent has doubled over five years, prompting warnings that the practice is helping to perpetuate ghettos. Instead of integrating over successive generations by marrying in the UK, some Asian communities are fuelling segregation through arranged marriages to overseas partners, according to a report by Migration Watch UK, an independent think tank. The report reveals that the number of spouses and fiancés from the Indian subcontinent doubled between 1996 and 2001, when 22,000 were granted entry into ...

Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush will push this year for legislation overhauling immigration laws, including creating a new guest-worker program, said U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo, chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus. The Bush administration has met with Republican lawmakers to press the issue and will likely urge party leaders such as House Speaker Dennis Hastert to hold votes on immigration measures before the end of the congressional session, Tancredo said. ``Certainly there will be a tremendous amount of pressure to do something before Thanksgiving,'' Tancredo, a Colorado Republican who opposes Bush's guest-worker plan, said in an interview. ``The ...

The congressman who received the fax opted not to comment, and asked that his name not be used. The focus of Smith's memo, addressed to "Hon. Karl Rove," is on immigration politics. "Immigration needs to be considered in the context of: (1). Media Bias, (2). Animosity toward the president and (3) the feelings of the Republican base," Smith's memo states. Smith is a member of the Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims as well as the Subcommittee on Economic Security, Infrastructure Protection, ...

The orders have come in. Just about anybody can be classified as a Hurricane Relief Worker.
They don't even need a passport or visa to enter.
They can be "Paroled" into the US and given an "Employment Authorization."
For those that are not familiar with the INA, an "Employment Authorization" is worth [its weight in] gold.

Those already here could stay for 3 years, then renew visas By C.J. Karamargin ARIZONA DAILY STAR The White House is preparing to unveil an immigration-reform plan that would allow millions of undocumented residents to remain in the United States as guest workers, two Arizona congressmen said. Under a plan presented to a handful of Republican lawmakers by top presidential adviser Karl Rove, undocumented residents already here could apply for a three-year guest-worker visa. As explained to the congressmen, the plan gives workers the opportunity to renew that visa for another three years before requiring them to leave the country. They could then apply again to return.

Austin's sixth annual Mexican Independence Day parade Saturday ended with a confrontation at the Capitol between the marchers and demonstrators protesting illegal immigration from Mexico. Police and state troopers kept the roughly 100 protesters and 400 marchers apart, especially when some began shouting at each other, but there were no incidents or arrests. The modest parade, consisting of decorated trailers, antique cars, and adults and children representing organizations such as the United Farm Workers, filled the north lane of traffic as it swept up Congress Avenue to the Capitol. It lacked the charros (Mexican cowboys) and horses of previous Diez y Seis parades, but, as in the past, ...

Anticipating the arrival next month of citizen militias at California's border with Mexico, immigrants joined with religious, labor and community leaders Thursday in vigils and rallies in San Jose and Oakland, to denounce the growing number of armed volunteers conducting patrols.

Jon Pedigo, a San Jose pastor, ``and reject the racist-tinged'' rhetoric of Minuteman, the group patrolling the Arizona border and preparing to start in California in October. Rallies also were held in Sacramento and San Diego. ``We believe there's no ...

(09-14) 18:34 PDT SAN DIEGO, (AP) -- The Bush administration said Wednesday it will fortify the westernmost stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border, despite concerns the project will harm a refuge for endangered birds. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff signed an environmental waiver that expedites the Border Patrol's plans to fill in canyons and erect additional fencing along the final 3 1/2 miles of the border before it meets the Pacific Ocean. Chertoff said the fortifications would help reduce illegal border crossings. But Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar told reporters the project was a broader effort to close gaps that terrorists and others could exploit. "This is ...

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Maryland law providing compensation for on-the-job injuries applies to illegal immigrants even if they are not lawfully employed, the Court of Appeals ruled Monday. Six of the seven judges on the state's highest court joined in the majority opinion that said the workers compensation law does not specifically mention whether status as an undocumented worker affects an employees ability to be compensated if injured at work. The majority noted that the law specifies that it should be "construed as liberally in favor of injured employees as its provisions will permit in order to effectuate its benevolent purposes" and that "any uncertainty in the law should be ...

BILOXI, Mississippi - As Biloxi rises from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, it is doing much of it on the backs of undocumented foreign workers. Some are starting to suggest that their contributions are worth at least a temporary visa. "If we are working and helping to raise this city, at least they should give us a work visa," said Manuel Armenta, a 44-year-old Mexican who came to Biloxi five months ago to do cleaning work at a hotel. His old workplace - and his apartment - are now in ruins, but the hurricane created plenty of new jobs: cleaning up the hotels and casinos that fed much of the economy and putting new roofing on buildings of all sorts. President Bush long ...
