Advertisement At that time, Medina was working for RE/MAX 100. Medina now works at the Keller Williams Realty Advantage office in Lakewood, according to the Colorado Real Estate Commission.

White taxpayers bear the burden of non-White immigration.by April Gaede A recent article in the Bakersfield Californian tried to downplay the significance of the changing demographics in Kern County. While this newspaper --which also has a local Mestizo version El Californiano and almost daily runs stories about how everything from the price of vegetables to the gubernatorial election affects the “Hispanic community”-- obscures the truth of how this change in population ethnicity will affect those of us who are White and native born, National Vanguard readers are not easily fooled. If you read the article you will notice that while the total population numbers have remained steady ...

Chinese labor for oil drilling eyed in Colo. By Andrea R. Mihailescu UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Published July 11, 2005 Canadian oil giant EnCana is considering bringing in Chinese companies to construct and operate drilling rigs in the Colorado Rockies, as the region struggles to keep up with demand and rising energy prices. EnCana, a major player in the Piceance Basin of western Colorado, said Chinese labor is cheap and the workers are well-educated. The move would be scrutinized in Washington, where politicians are uneasy about allowing Chinese workers to acquire access to U.S.-based oil and gas facilities. "I am totally against ...
Immigrant birth rates up in King County, report says

One of every three children born in King County in 2002 was born to an immigrant mother, a new study shows. That rate is more than twice what it was just a decade ago and higher than it is for the country as a whole. The national rate of 23 percent — nearly one in every four births — was the highest since a wave of immigration nine decades ago brought shiploads of Europeans to U.S. shores. The Center for Immigration Studies, the conservative Washington, D.C.-based think tank that produced the report using federal birth records, said poverty and lack of education among immigrant populations mean the findings have huge implications for education, health care and other social ...

Paul Guzan (junior, criminology) waded in the clear, shallow water near the shores of Cancun, Mexico, one day during last week's spring break. Friends, drinks and sun ruled the afternoon -- until he felt a sharp clamp on his foot. "The water was about up to my knees," he said Monday. "I was swimming, just fooling around, and I felt something pull my foot away. It felt like a steel trap. "It was pretty shocking," he said. "As soon as it grabbed me, I started walking. When I got out of the water, I noticed that my tendons and toes were kind of hanging. And blood was squirting everywhere." Guzan had been attacked by a barracuda, the torpedo-like tropical ...

But last year, the couple secured a $54,600 mortgage to buy the gray, 1,158-square-foot bungalow that they had been renting for eight months. The Wisconsin housing authority financed the loan. The Internal Revenue Service gave them an identification number that let them apply for it at local Mitchell Bank, which was happy to take their business. “We thought we would never buy a home, because of our (illegal) status,” said Mrs. Garcia. Competition for new customers is driving banks to offer home loans and other financial services to illegal immigrants — and they are getting help from government agencies, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The FDIC encourages banks ...

State Labor Department officials say federal agents who arrested about 50 immigrants at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base abused the trust that the department has tried to build with workers by inviting them to a safety meeting before they were cuffed and taken away. Officials with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement said they rounded up the men just after they arrived for work Wednesday morning. They would not comment on exactly how the workers from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Ukraine were taken into custody in charges of using fake documents to get access to the base.

On a trip to the United States more than five years ago, the woman from Moscow met her future husband. Olga and Cliff Starks were married within a couple of weeks. However, as good as those days were, Friday was even better. "This is the best day of my life," Olga Starks, 53, now of Slaughter, said. She and 36 other immigrants from 19 nations became U.S. citizens during a ceremony in the U.S. District Courthouse in Baton Rouge. The United States is very different from her native Russia, Starks said. America is so organized with its laws and merchants who can actually help their customers, she said. "It's like a real life," Starks said. "If you work and have a ...

In some districts, students are passing a new state test that says they are proficient in English at nearly double the rate of last year. But educators say the test is just easier and these kids aren't likely to pass regular classes without help. Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne said the criticism comes because some school districts ...

WASHINGTON -- While many advocates of high immigration argue that today's immigration is no different from the previous great wave a century ago, the data tell a different story. A new analysis of birth records from the Center for Immigration Studies shows that immigrants (legal & illegal) accounted for a larger share of births in 2002 than in 1910, during the peak of the last great wave of immigration. The children born to immigrants are arguably the most important long-term legacy of immigration and are a key measure of its magnitude. The new report provides detailed information on births to immigrants for every state and many counties, including estimates for births to illegal ...

The students will request voluntary departure during a July 21 hearing to avoid stiffer consequences of being deported, which would prevent them from coming back for at least five years. "It's typically better to have a voluntary departure than an order of deportation, but the bottom line is these kids are going to have to leave the country," said Judy Flanagan, ...

Dear George: You have often said that, because Mexicans are "doing jobs Americans won't do", you won't enforce the laws on immigration that you swore an oath to uphold. I thought you needed some enlightenment, so the following is an actual, nearly word-for-word record conversation I had recently while filling my gas tank in Danbury, Connecticut. At the next pump, a fellow was filling his truck's tank. On the door was the name of a landscaping business.

Spike in border crossings could further endanger rare pronghorn Associated Press Jul. 6, 2005 12:00 AM TUCSON - Biologists are concerned that an increase in migrant traffic on the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge could have deadly consequences for the endangered Sonoran pronghorn. The biologists say they have noticed a spike since early spring during which traffic has gone from a handful of crossers a night to 200. The number of Border Patrol agents in the refuge has doubled. The refuge shares a 60-mile border with Mexico, but the increased migration has been funneled though a single, narrow valley. That's the same area where biologists and volunteers have been installing ...

By Juan Mann From the Arizona desert to the halls of Capitol Hill, there is a growing realization that something had better be done about the criminal alien invasion of these United States before it’s too late. Here’s the Hobson’s choice: summary deportation now—or counter-insurgency later. Just as the legal paradigm of the criminal justice system provides no defense whatsoever against crazed Jihadist suicide bombers, so also clinging to the "alien rights"-based framework of court hearings within the litigation bureaucracy of the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) and the federal courts—while ...

HARLINGEN, Texas (AP) - Several times a day, a chain-link gate rolls open and dozens of illegal immigrants stroll out of the U.S. Border Patrol station here, blinking into the hot Texas sun as they look for taxis to the bus station and a ticket out of town. Each holds a piece of paper that Spanish-speakers call a ``permiso'' - permission, courtesy of the U.S. government, to roam freely anywhere in the country. Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, more than 118,000 undocumented migrants who were caught after sneaking over the nation's borders have walked right out of custody with a permiso in hand. They were from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Brazil. But also Afghanistan, ...
