The news conference outside the Santa Clara County government center in San Jose was part of a statewide action to support California's immigrants, said the Rev. 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 ... White House shows guest- worker plan for entrants Post Date: 2005-09-16 21:28:27 by StarShadow 14 Comments White House shows guest- worker plan for entrants 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 ... White House to Fortify U.S.-Mexico Border Post Date: 2005-09-14 22:41:49 by Brian S 1 Comments (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 ... Court: Illegal Immigrant Eligible For Workers Compensation Post Date: 2005-09-14 13:01:38 by Brian S 4 Comments 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 ... Minuteman area group calls it quits Post Date: 2005-09-14 10:47:08 by StarShadow 3 Comments The first Texas chapter of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps disbanded Monday. "The Goliad chapter of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps was dissolved today," chapter president Kenneth Buelter said in a brief e-mail sent to the Victoria Advocate on Monday evening. The e-mail included no further explanation and directed all comments to either Minuteman Civil Defense Corps of Texas president Al Garza or to a representative of the Falfurrias chapter. Repeated attempts to contact Buelter on Monday evening were unsuccessful. Buelter notified the Texas leader of his resignation and the dissolution of the Goliad-area chapter Monday evening, Garza said in a phone interview from ... Undocumented aliens rebuilding Biloxi, say they deserve visas Post Date: 2005-09-13 19:07:59 by Zipporah 3 Comments 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 ... Firms Test Web Immigration Check Post Date: 2005-09-12 16:50:30 by Zipporah 0 Comments LOS ANGELES -- Many Americans focus on the border when they consider the fight against illegal immigration. But some experts say the real battle should be in the workplace to stop the hiring of people without work visas. Simple enough in theory, but how can you tell who's an illegal immigrant? Many companies now do little more than eyeball documents, saying they lack the expertise and resources to go any further -- and they seldom face federal sanctions. But across the country, a small group of businesses is quietly testing a Department of Homeland Security program that can check immigration status with a few clicks on the internet. The program will likely be at the heart of any federal ... Mexico's Fox Says U.S. to Give Disaster Aid to Illegal Migrants Post Date: 2005-09-09 13:44:29 by Jen 6 Comments Mexico's Fox Says U.S. to Give Disaster Aid to Illegal Migrants Sept. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Mexico's President Vicente Fox helped persuade the U.S. government to relax controls on illegal immigrants so they can receive aid for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Any of the 145,000 Mexicans living in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama who don't have documents will qualify for help finding family members, getting food and receiving other assistance even if they don't have proper documents, according to Fox's office in Mexico City. About 11 million Mexicans live in the U.S., more than half illegally. Fox, 63, has responded to the devastation caused by Katrina by sending a navy ship loaded with rescue ... Fearing deportation, illegal immigrants avoid hurricane help Post Date: 2005-09-09 12:44:19 by Zipporah 0 Comments NEW ORLEANS - Some sneak into shelters at night and then slip out in the morning, praying they won't be noticed. Others avoid government help altogether, preferring to ride out the chaos and destruction alone in a foreign land. For illegal immigrants, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has meant not only living without a home, money or belongings, but also steering clear of the government officials who have flocked to the area, for fear of deportation. Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants live in the hardest-hit areas, although nobody knows exactly how many. Jeffrey Passel of the Pew Hispanic Center gave a conservative estimate of 20,000 to 35,000 in Louisiana, Mississippi and ... U.S. Border Patrol Moved to Katrina Area, Border Vulnerable Post Date: 2005-09-06 21:25:43 by Zipporah 4 Comments font face=geneva>U.S. Border Patrol officers are being shifted away from their posts guarding the U.S.-Mexico border to aid in the Katrina Hurricane disaster, leaving the country vulnerable to illegals and terrorists attempting to enter the U.S., NewsMax has learned. The Bush administration ordered the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the federal agency charged with securing the border, to provide manpower, assets, and humanitarian support to Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts, which has some border state residents nervous that the thin red line of protection from the plague of illegals, drug smugglers and gang members will be stretched even thinner. CBP is the unified border ... Why Isn't Bush On The Border? Post Date: 2005-08-31 20:21:12 by Steppenwolf 3 Comments Wednesday, August 31, 2005 Why isn’t Bush on the border? Pat Buchanan Published on Monday, August 29, 2005, in the Tracy Press. WASHINGTON — On Aug. 12, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson declared a state of emergency “due to a chaotic situation involving illegal alien smuggling and illegal drug shipments” on his southern border. Three days later, Gov. Janet Napolitano followed suit in Arizona. Reason: the crisis on the border. The ally-ally-in-free immigration policy of George Bush and Vicente Fox, beloved of corporate America, has created a hell on our southern border. Those Southwestern states are being inundated by illegal aliens trashing ranches, killing cattle, ... 21 Terrorists Became U.S. Citizens Post Date: 2005-08-30 23:59:03 by OKCSubmariner 5 Comments Two new reports released today by the Center for Immigration Studies examine the role of immigration control in our efforts to prevent further terrorist attacks on American soil. Both point to the profound security challenges posed by a federal government policy of mass immigration and lax enforcement of the law. The first paper, "Immigration and Terrorism: Moving Beyond the 9/11 Staff Report on Terrorist Travel," illustrates how 94 Islamist terrorists used the immigration system to infiltrate and embed in the United States. The author is Janice L. Kephart, counsel for the 9/11 Commission and an author of the Commission staff's report on terrorist travel. Other than the ...

TB cases rooted in other countries Post Date: 2005-08-29 09:36:59 by Zipporah 1 Comments The immigration boom from Latin America and Asia that has significantly increased the population in Fairfax and Loudoun counties is also raising concerns about new tuberculosis cases in the region. In Loudoun County, health department Director David Goodfriend said 86 percent of the 15 tuberculosis cases this year originated in foreign countries. "Most are from Central and South America because most of the population we get is from there," Dr. Goodfriend said. The situation is typical of a region with a large number of immigrants, he said. Health officials said 60 percent to 65 percent of cases in Virginia originated outside the country. Fairfax County health officials ... Highly trained Islamic snipers on their way to the USA Post Date: 2005-08-29 09:31:48 by Zipporah 36 Comments NOTE: La Voz de Aztlan is an extremist hate group in Southern California that has communicated several terrorist threats in the past against American citizens. They support illegal immigration, a separatist movement, and the forced removal of US territory. While we do not feel they are credible, we do feel they are making terrorist threats from US soil. We call on the federal government and the media to expose and address these terroristic threats that are made from inside of the US. Background information found at the bottom of this article.

Mr Smith, a professional cannonball, was launched head first across the border between Tijuana, in Mexico, and the US city of San Diego. His son, also a human cannonball, says Mr Smith is the first person to be fired across an international border. Mr Smith waved his passport in the air as he sat on the lip of the cannon, before leaving on the brief journey.

Calipatria prison locked down in wake of fatal riot Post Date: 2005-08-20 15:46:25 by robin 1 Comments 4:33 p.m. August 19, 2005 SACRAMENTO – Inmates at the state prison in Calipatria remained locked in their cells Friday as investigations continued into a deadly riot that erupted in an exercise yard Thursday and spread to two buildings.

Just the one fatal round was fired, from a semiautomatic rifle, said Terry Thornton, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Bush Administration Plans Push for Illegals Post Date: 2005-08-19 08:46:36 by Grumble Jones 4 Comments Bush Administration Plans Push for Illegals WASHINGTON - The White House is planning a new push to change the nation’s immigration laws, looking in part for businesses to lobby Congress to pass measures that give more foreign-born workers legal status while also toughening lax enforcement. But the conflicting interests of President Bush’s big-business supporters, who believe the economy needs more workers, and Republican Party conservatives - many of whom have made a top priority of clamping down on illegal immigration in the name of national security - threaten the prospects for a quick deal. The White House and its allies are looking to businesses for help in selling and ...

The Secret Border Wars/Mayhem and terror in Southern states to protect government drug cartels Post Date: 2005-08-18 12:40:47 by christine 11 Comments Gov. Janet Napolitano on Monday declared a state of emergency along Arizona's border with Mexico, freeing up $1.5 million in disaster funds to help border counties combat booming illegal immigration and drug smuggling. While the threat of terrorists attacking the US is regularly one of the top news headlines on a daily basis, real terror that has already claimed the lives of 600 people this year is being routinely ignored or downplayed by the mainstream media.

Four days after New Mexico declared a 90 day state of emergency for border areas, Arizona did the same for its four counties on the Mexican frontier, citing uncontrolled illegal immigration.
