Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council, which represents all 11,000 nonsupervisory Border Patrol agents, called the arrest "embarrassing," but described Mr. Ortiz and the unidentified second agent as "rogue agents." "The overwhelming majority of the agents are out there risking their lives, enforcing immigration laws, doing a daunting and largely thankless task," said Mr. Bonner, a 28-year veteran of the agency. Mr. Bonner said the FBI used to conduct background investigations on all Border Patrol applicants, but the job has since been turned over ...

New Mexico Governor Declares Border Emergency To Free Up Funds ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS, N.M. (AP) -- Gov. Bill Richardson on Friday declared an emergency in four New Mexico counties along the border, an action that lets him free up money to be spent on everything from fighting drug smuggling to fencing a livestock yard.

The money will aid state and area law enforcement efforts, fund a field office for the state Office of Homeland Security and help build a fence to protect a Columbus-area ...

Immigration and the Welfare State Rep. Ron Paul | August 8, 2005 More and more of my constituents are asking me when Congress will address the problem of illegal immigration. The public correctly perceives that neither political party has the courage to do what is necessary to prevent further erosion of both our border security and our national identity. As a result, immigration may be the sleeper issue that decides the 2008 presidential election. The problem of illegal immigration will not be solved easily, but we can start by recognizing that the overwhelming majority of Americans- including immigrants- want immigration reduced, not expanded. Amnesty for illegal immigrants is not the ...

Several Texas Congressmen are quietly circulating a proposal to approve 'deputized civilians' as an auxiliary to the U.S. Border Patrol, 1200 WOAI news reported today. The so called "Border Protection Corps" would consist of volunteers who go through a background check and receive training, and would then accompany Border Patrol officers as they search for illegal aliens and drug activity. "These would be volunteers who go through training, don't have a criminal background, who don't use firearms, and who would serve in a backup capacity to the Border Patrol," said U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), who is one of the backers of the proposal. The chief sponsor, U.S. ...

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The banking industry is opening its doors to a controversial new market: illegal immigrants. Despite heated political debate in Washington over illegal immigration in the United States, an increasing number of banks are seeing an untapped resource for growing their own revenue stream and contend that providing undocumented residents with mortgages will help revitalize local communities. It's a win-win situation, they say. But skeptics worry about the message these home loans send to illegal immigrants: break our laws and we'll reward you with a home. "It's institutionalizing illegality," said Marti Dinerstein, president of Immigration Matters, a New ...

Economist Richard Florida ("The Flight of the Creative Class"), Northern Kentucky University President James Votruba and many others argue that economic competition today is not over capital or natural resources but talent - human capital. Historically, much of that talent pool for the United States has come from abroad. Since Sept. 11, the number of U.S. visas issued to foreign students and foreign skilled workers has dropped. Canada, Australia and other countries are aggressively recruiting and expediting immigration of skilled workers. Commentators warn that U.S. neo-isolationist policies and bureaucratic delays could be diverting skilled foreigners to other countries. The ...

DNC Chairman Howard Dean speaks Friday in Edinburg, Texas, near the Mexican border. At a rally, Dean garnered the loudest applause when he said Republicans would make immigration a pivotal issue during upcoming elections, as they did gay marriage and affirmative action in previous elections. "Do you know who the scapegoats are going to be? Immigrants," he said. "In Colorado, the chairman of the Republican Party endorsed Tom Tancredo for re-election. That is morally reprehensible.

PHOENIX - When burglars broke into U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe's house in late July, they ignored most of his valuables. "The biggest thing that caught my attention was an antique rifle that was just laying around," said Tom Schenek, an officer with the Patagonia Marshal's Office who responded to the break-in. "I don't think the congressman would have left it laying around where it was." However, the rifle was left in the house. Instead, it appeared that whoever broke into the congressman's cabin in Sonoita, Ariz., less than 30 miles from the Mexican border, ate some food, used the shower, took some of Kolbe's clothes and left. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office ...

New Jersey August 2, 2005 Described as a "wholesome, big-hearted and quiet" girl by neighbors, 16 yr. old Jennifer Parks was well liked and would often be seen riding her bicycle, reading the latest Harry Potter book, or bouncing on her trampoline. She had her whole life ahead of her. That was violently cut short when her 18 yr. old Mestizo neighbor, Jonathan A. Zarate lured her over to his house where he savagely beat her and stabbed her to death. In an effort to stuff her corpse into a steamer trunk, Zarate cut her legs off with a knife. He then placed the trunk into a vehicle in his driveway. While the Parks family were desperately searching for their only child, whose ...

But military records obtained Tuesday by The Arizona Republic show that Haab never served in Iraq and indicate that he was on the verge of being removed from the military because he was paranoid, threatened to kill himself and pulled a knife in an altercation with fellow soldiers.

Others withdraw in protest. Jewish 'open borders' policy is being threatened by environmentalists concerned about the impact on our national parks and forests, while Jewish ritual slaughter is being threatened by anti-torture groups who use hidden cameras and direct mail campaigns, bypassing Jewish security and media. As a result, the Southern Poverty Law Center is closely monitoring both movements. Many top activists boycotted the Friends of Animals' July 9-10, 2005 conference because organizers invited Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center as its keynote speaker. In April, prominent movement author and animal rights advocate Joan Dunayer announced her withdrawal in a letter to ...

Fellow church members are shocked by the revelations. By Sam Quinones Times Staff Writer July 31, 2005 It wasn't much of a movie. But there's one scene in the 1992 religious comedy "De Lengua Me Como Un Plato" that Mexican police are probably wishing they had noticed. Late in the film, a Mexico City detective thinks he has finally cornered a notorious bank robber. It was a throwaway scene except for one fact: The bit-part actor who played the detective was in real life Mexico's most notorious fugitive, Alfredo Rios ...

Ump Bans Youth Team From Speaking Spanish METHUEN, Mass. (AP) -- An umpire ordered players on a local Little League team to stop speaking Spanish during a state tournament game this week, a decision the coach said demoralized the team and cost it the game. "This never should have happened," coach Chris Mosher told the Eagle-Tribune newspaper. "These are 14-year-old kids who should not have to deal with any of this, especially in Little League baseball." National Little League spokesman Lance Van Auken said there's no rule against players speaking Spanish or any other language on the field. But he said it's too late to reverse the decision or the outcome of the game. ...
