Indiana state health officials have pinpointed the deli and bakery departments of a Greenwood Wal-Mart as the source of a salmonella outbreak that sickened at least 84 people this summer. Although a few more cases of the bacterial infection might emerge as people develop symptoms, the affected areas of the Wal-Mart, 1133 N. Emerson Ave., have been sanitized, and shoppers should not be worried about additional contamination, health officials said. "We believe food handlers who didn't have any symptoms may have contaminated the deli and bakery products," Lynae Granzow, enteric epidemiologist with the Indiana State Department of Health, said in a written statement. Overnight from ...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22, 2006, 10:30 a.m. - A black activist is organizing a wave of class-action workplace lawsuits for people who have lost their jobs because they did not speak Spanish. "We are going to have a major class-action suit in this country in the workplace," Claud Anderson told a radio host. "You cannot in an English speaking country demand that people speak Spanish." Anderson said many Latinos who resolve to continue speaking their native language "signifies power" and is meant to make blacks in particular "deal with them on their turf." "Any black person that cannot speak Spanish [are] losing jobs in California, Texas and ...

You read it first (and as far as I can see exclusively) on VDARE.COM: Somalis are using United Nations refugee camps in Zambia as ‘stepping stones’ to "other destinations", i.e. the U.S. according to the Secretary of the Zambian ministry of the Interior, Peter Mumba. Speaking to the UN news service, the Integrated Regional Information Network (IRIN), Mr. Mumba explained that the Somalis first settle in Meheba, Zambia’s largest refugee camp and then, either bribing their way out or with assistance from Somalis outside the camp, slip into neighboring Zimbabwe and Namibia. From there they filter into South Africa, boarding ships bound… for Mexico. According to ...

Four of the foreign nationals taken into custody during this week's operation have been deported from the United States previously. The group includes two Salvadorans, a Honduran, and a Mexican national. The defendants are being prosecuted by the US Attorney's newly created Domestic Security and Immigration ...

August 25, 2006 "Nobody is Paying Us. We Came to Defend Democracy" Mexico Piquetero By CLAUDIO ALBERTANI Mexico City. The revolt against the July 2nd electoral fraud in favor of Felipe Calderon, the right wing candidate, is expanding. After three weeks, the occupation of Mexico City's historic center shows no sign of fatigue, to the contrary, the movement is growing like an unstoppable avalanche. In the past few days, actions of peaceful civil resistance have multiplied in the Northern part of Mexico, traditionally a stronghold of the right. On the 11th of August, in Ciudad Juarez, farmers on horses took over the bridge that connects Mexico with the US, blocking for several ...

The Official Website of Representative David Duke, PhD 8/24/2006 “The United States has lost control of its borders—in every sense” Posted under: General— @ 6:51 am America’s Immigration Policy—Hitler’s Revenge? By Peter Brimelow August 22rd, 2006 There is a sense in which current immigration policy is Adolf Hitler’s posthumous revenge on America. The U.S. political elite emerged from the war passionately concerned to cleanse itself from all taints of racism or xenophobia. Eventually, it enacted the epochal Immigration Act (technically, the Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments) of 1965. And this, quite accidentally, triggered a renewed ...

WHITEWATER - The 1-year-old boy wouldn't stop crying. He wanted his mother, and he wasn't alone. The toddler is one of many in Whitewater's Hispanic community whose mothers left for work the morning of Aug. 8 and didn't return. The women were among 25 immigrants arrested by local and federal authorities at Star Packaging on charges that they are in the United States illegally. The workers will be deported to Mexico, said Gail Montenegro, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman. For the women's families, local pastors and congregations have stepped forward to offer love and find homes for the children. "All of the people arrested were hardworking and productive," ...

Business Owners Sue Rivals That Hire llegals

Published August 23, 2006 LOS ANGELES -- Business owners frustrated by lax enforcement of immigration laws are taking their fight to court, accusing competitors of hiring illegal workers to achieve an unfair advantage. The legal action is an attempt by business and anti-illegal-immigration groups to create an economic deterrent against hiring illegal employees. In the first of a series of lawsuits, a temporary employment agency that supplies farm workers sued a grower and two competing companies on Monday. Similar cases claiming violations of federal anti-racketeering laws have yielded mixed results. The California lawsuit is thought to be the first based on a state's ...

TUCSON - A Washington-based company is donating up to $7 million worth of fiber-optic security fencing material for the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps to use in any new barriers the group erects to try to keep illegal immigrants out of Arizona. The mesh has embedded sensors that can differentiate between human and animal contact and conditions such as high winds or heavy rain. Tied into cameras and alarms, the system can alert monitors to the precise location of any intrusion. "We're certainly not against immigration," said Nina (pronounced NINE-uh) May, the head of FOMGuard USA, which is donating the material to the anti-illegal immigration group. "We're against illegal ...

Montana Republican Calls His House Painter 'Nice Little Guatemalan Man' The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Republican Sen. Conrad Burns, whose re-election campaign is pressing for tighter immigration controls, referred to his house painter as "a nice little Guatemalan man" and suggested that worker as well as employees of a roofing company he hired might be in the country illegally. "The other day, the little fella who does our maintenance work around the house, he's from Guatemala, and I said, 'Could I see your green card?'" Burns said at a June meeting recorded by Democrats.

Germany may block new EU members David Gow in Brussels Tuesday August 22, 2006 Guardian Unlimited Germany is threatening to derail the planned entry of Bulgaria and Romania to the EU on January 1, forcing its postponement for a year as fears grow over Europe's capacity to absorb new members. Yesterday Horst Köhler, the German president, urged the two countries to overcome clear deficits in their judicial systems and in the fight against corruption ahead of a final "monitoring" report by the European commission next month on their progress towards meeting the political criteria for entry. Germany, along with Belgium, Denmark, France and Ireland, has so far failed to ...

North American Union Threatens U.S. Sovereignty

The problem with the Bush administration is that not enough of its officials have read the U.S. Constitution. Take, for example, Section 2 of Article 2. When dealing with foreign nations, it says that the President “shall have the power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur….” So, why is President Bush and his administration seeking to establish a North American Union that would, in effect, abolish the borders between Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America? Moreover, it would involve our government in so many common regulatory mandates with these two nations as to render the ...

A Corporate Takeover of American Borders

Published on Monday, August 21, 2006 by the Baltimore Sun A Corporate Takeover of American Borders by Robert Koulish Borders are a key element of national identity. When borders are violated, the result is often crisis and war. Look no further than this summer's conflict in the Middle East, set off by a cross-border kidnapping of Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah militants. Protection and defense of borders is, for most nations, a high priority. Thus, it is troubling to see our government intent upon passing control over its borders to private companies. Immigration control is a fundamental exercise of sovereignty, and sovereign powers are considered almost inviolable. As a legacy of its ...

Sunday, August 20, 2006 - Updated: 08:31 AM EST LOS ANGELES - Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney told the California GOP convention Saturday the United States should encourage foreigners with skills to immigrate, while discouraging those who come here illegally and without skills. “It is wrong for us to build an absolute concrete wall against those with skills and enterprise,” he said, referring to foreign students who come here for advanced study, “and have a wide open door for people with no education and no skills.” His remarks were greeted with enthusiastic applause from this conservative crowd, for whom illegal immigration is a hot issue.

(AP) CHICAGO Immigration enforcement officers do not plan to enter a storefront church on the city's West Side where an activist has sought sanctuary since she was scheduled to be deported this week, a government official said Friday. Elvira Arellano and her 7-year-old son have been living in the Adalberto United Methodist Church since Tuesday when the 31-year-old single mother was supposed to surrender to authorities for deportation to Mexico. Officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had said they would apprehend Arellano at a time and place "of their choosing" and that nothing prevented them from going into the church. But on Friday, a government official close ...

WASHINGTON (AP)--An estimated 10.5 million illegal immigrants were living in the U.S. in 2005, the federal government said in a report Friday. That's up from an estimated 8.5 million living in the country in 2000, according to calculations by the Office of Immigration Statistics in the Department of Homeland Security. The office said that with a national average rate of growth of 408,000, the illegal immigrant population is probably about 11 million this year. In March, the Pew Hispanic Center used Census Bureau data to estimate that the U.S. had 11.1 million illegal immigrants in March 2005. The center used monthly population estimates to project a current total of 11.5 million to 12 ...

Immigration activists around the country are taking up the cause of a single mother who invoked the ancient principle of sanctuary and took refuge in a Chicago church rather than submit to deportation to Mexico. Elvira Arellano, 31, was holed up for a second day Wednesday at Aldalberto United Methodist Church with the support of the congregation's pastor. With her was her 7-year-old son, Saul, an American citizen. Federal officials said there is no right to sanctuary in a church under U.S. law and nothing to prevent them from arresting her. But they would not say exactly what they planned to do, or when. The protest raised the spectacle of agents barging into a church and dragging her ...

EL PASO, Texas - Border Patrol Agent Ignacio Ramos could hear his heart racing. He could feel the dry, hot dust burning against his skin as he chased a drug trafficker trying to flee back into Mexico. Ramos' fellow agent, Jose Alonso Compean, was lying on the ground behind him, banged up and bloody from a scuffle with the much-bigger smuggler moments earlier. Suddenly the smuggler turned toward the pursuing Ramos, gun in hand. Ramos, his own weapon already drawn, shot at him, though the man was able to flee into the brush and escape the agents. Now, nearly 18 months after that violent encounter, Ramos and Compean are facing 20 years in federal prison for their actions. Why? According ...

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. — A fire killed four people early Sunday in a two-story house where about a dozen people lived in makeshift rooms, some of them bedding down in closets, the state fire marshal said. Witnesses reported seeing people fleeing the property before officials arrived, Fire Marshal Roger Johnson said. The residents didn't return, he said. "We don't know why they left, why they did not want to stay and why they did not want to address any questions we may have," Johnson said. Immigration officials had been to the scene, Deputy Fire Chief Chuck Greis said. Neighbors told The Associated Press they believed most residents in house were Asian immigrants who worked ...

Gonzales Issues New Regulations For Immigration Judges; Expanding Free Services For Poor Immigrants

WASHINGTON – Immigration court judges will undergo periodic evaluations and additional immigration appeals judges will be hired, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced Wednesday. Gonzales opened a review of the immigration courts, which operate as part of the Justice Department, in January after chastising some of them for “intemperate or even abusive” conduct toward asylum seekers. “This review has left me reassured of the talent and professionalism that exists in the immigration courts and at the Board of Immigration Appeals,” Gonzales said in a statement. But he found room for improvement. The more than 200 immigration judges handle hundreds of thousands of ...

AFL-CIO Moves to Embrace Day Laborers

The AFL-CIO agreed today to work with a national network of day laborer organizers, a move that could bring representatives for some of the most publicly scorned illegal immigrants to the policymaking table of the nation's largest union group and provide day workers with a potent ally in local efforts to establish hiring halls and national campaigns for legalization. Six years after organized labor's pivotal policy shift toward support of illegal workers, the resolution, approved by the AFL-CIO executive council in Chicago, further cemented the struggling labor movement's embrace of illegal immigrants as key parts of the American workforce and potential union members. The partnership does ...
