Editor's Note: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's on-air remarks about an armed, volunteer group searching for illegal aliens along the Arizona border -- a project he called "terrific" -- have shocked Latino officials and media workers. At least one editor, however, thinks the governor's words have been taken out of context. SAN FRANCISCO--Latino media, community activists and elected officials are outraged over comments Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger made yesterday in support of the Minutemen, an armed group of citizens patrolling the Arizona border in search of illegal immigrants. In an interview on the "John and Ken Show," a conservative talk-radio show on KFI in Los Angeles, ...

DANBURY, Conn. — This middle-class New England suburb is nowhere near an international border but it still has the illegal immigration problems familiar to cities like San Diego and Tucson, Ariz. Mayor Mark Boughton (search) blames the government for his town's inability to cope with 15,000 illegal immigrants, approximately 19 percent of the overall population. "This is one community that has been incredibly stressed by failed federal policy and we need help," said Boughton. Because the illegal residents aren't counted in the U.S. census, Danbury (search) doesn't receive any federal aid for them. "In terms of our social services, this presents a tremendous strain, ...

Illegal drivers can haul hazmat cargo By Mimi Hall, USA TODAY WASHINGTON ? Corrupt employees in the Florida motor vehicles department illegally sold driver's licenses to more than 2,000 people, some of whom used the credentials to drive 18-wheelers and haul hazardous materials, federal authorities charged Thursday. Federal agents were scrambling to track down people who bought the licenses and can now use them to board airplanes, cross U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada and drive potentially lethal cargo around the country. Of the more than 2,000 licenses issued, 36 were for commercial drivers to operate trucks, and six to transport hazardous materials, said Immigration and Customs ...

I WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT NewsWithViews.com By Frosty Wooldridge April 28, 2005 “At the current rate of invasion of three million annually, the United States will be completely overrun with illegal aliens by the year 2025. I’m not talking about legal immigrants who follow US law to become citizens. In less than 20 years, if we do not stop the invasion, ILLEGAL aliens and their offspring will be the dominant population in the United States,” said Jim Gilchrist, director of the Minute Man Project. According to US Border Control, “Illegal aliens will have made such inroads into the political and social systems that they will have more influence than our ...

Massive lawbreaking encouraged by banks, politicians, and the Wall Street Journal? Hell, that's not news!by Richard Forsyth I'M A sensitive guy. Really. Just ask my wife. But I'm a hard-eyed skeptic when my brethren in the media insist on spinning weepy stories about the plight of migrant workers. The latest chapter in this ongoing saga appeared in a newspaper up the road from where I live and work in Florida. The story focused on "Little Mexico" – formally known as the farming community of Fellsmere – where two-thirds of the population is Spanish-speaking, mostly from Mexico. Here, we're told that these migrants are forced to live in ramshackle housing, paying ...

Illegal Immigration Fears Have Spread Populist calls for tougher enforcement are being heard beyond the border states. The Los Angeles Times By David Kelly, Times Staff Writer April 25, 2005 DENVER — The armed volunteers patrolling the Arizona-Mexico border may be the starkest sign of frustration with the nation's immigration laws, but across the country there is a growing populist movement also taking matters into its own hands. In Washington, Colorado, Virginia and elsewhere, grass-roots organizations are forming to pass initiatives and pressure politicians into enacting laws denying benefits to illegal immigrants. There are already groups in seven states and more are expected by ...
America Welcomes Illegals' Contagious Diseases

Illegal aliens cross America’s borders medically unexamined. We shrug. We do not know what Illegal Aliens carry in their backpacks. We do not know what they carry in their bodies. Long ago we knew what legal immigrants brought with them. When my grandpa came to America, he kissed the ground of New York’s Ellis Island, then he stripped naked and coughed hard. Every legal immigrant before 1924 was examined for infectious diseases upon arrival and tested for tuberculosis. Anyone infected was shipped back to the old country. That was powerful incentive for each newcomer to make heroic efforts to appear healthy. Today, legal immigrants must demonstrate that they are free of ...

Border Agents Have Beef With Smuggled Meat By LARA JAKES JORDAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Homeland Security Department has a major beef with 845 pounds of bologna that a Mexican immigrant tried to smuggle into the country. Border agents found the pork-based meat in suitcases on a bus stopped April 4 at a checkpoint north of Las Cruces, N.M. Though the U.S. Agriculture Department has approved some Mexican bologna imports, the meat nabbed in New Mexico was not refrigerated and was vulnerable to health risks such as Classic Swine Fever, officials said Monday. Agriculture specialists with U.S. Customs and Border Protection destroyed the bologna. The agency is part of ...

Bush Leading Immigation's Benedict Arnold Brigade
Can a country commit suicide? Can the leaders of America kill this country? Can President Bush--an avowed globalist who refuses to uphold his oath of office--destroy our Constitution by aiding and abetting this unending illegal alien invasion? Can Bush destroy our sovereignty?
"Yes! The Benedict Arnold Brigade destroying our country is led by George Bush," Wes Bramhall, 83 year old WWII veteran said while standing on the line with the Minute Man Project across from Naco, Mexico.

Buck: Minutemen ride again in nation's defense By Jeffrey W.T. Buck / Guest Columnist Sunday, April 24, 2005 We are Minutemen. On April 19, 1775, the originals marched on Lexington and Concord over a different beef with another George. Two hundred forty years later, we 21st century Minutemen have determined to stand vigil on the southwestern border in Arizona for individual commitments of one to 30 days each. A thousand of us have volunteered for the Minuteman Project (MMP), to work under the auspices of Civil Homeland Defense (CHD). Like our predecessors, we have determined that our nation's sovereignty is worth our lives, fortunes and sacred honor. This time, however, there are a whole ...

Agencies Move to Enforce Immigration Laws By BEN FOX Associated Press Writer SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) -- Frustrated by illegal immigrant criminals who slip their grasp, a growing number of state and county police agencies nationwide are moving to join a federal program that enlists local officers to enforce immigration laws. The federal government has already granted that authority in Florida and Alabama, and the program is under consideration in Connecticut, Oklahoma and Arkansas. It's also in the works in Southern California - one of the nation's most ethnically diverse regions - where it would reverse a long-standing local police policy of avoiding questions about immigration status ...

While a civilian group in Arizona is watching for illegal immigrants and drug smugglers along the Mexico border, a Chino-based organization is planning to do the same in San Diego.

CAPITOL HILL An immigration bill being written by senators John McCain and Edward Kennedy would give illegal aliens the chance to stay in the United States -- but would also subject them to fines. It's an alternative to President Bush's guest worker proposal, which would have them return to their countries when their work visas expire. Employers like Bush's plan; many conservatives don't. McCain says the immigration bill he and Kennedy will introduce would allow illegal immigrants to obtain three-year visas that could be renewed once. After that, they'd be able to apply for permanent legal residency, but they'd have to "get in the back of the line." McCain told the Naval Academy ...

Illegal Immigrants: The Last Nail in the Coffin for Social Security By E.F. Winslow April 19, 2005 To privatize or not privatize? That is the question. Well, actually no. Because if the Totalization Treaty currently being negotiated with Mexico to give illegal aliens Social Security benefits goes through, Social Security will be irreparably decimated. The idea behind Totalization Treaties is to help employees sent abroad to still have enough credits to draw Social Security benefits with the contributions paid in total in the countries in which the employee worked. Currently, there are about 20 such agreements that the United States recognizes, and those are with European countries. ...

No charges against migrant-holding reservist Prosecutor: Action legal Robert Anglen The Arizona Republic Apr. 22, 2005 12:00 AM No criminal charges will be filed against an Army reservist who held seven undocumented immigrants at gunpoint this month at an Arizona rest stop. Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said Thursday that Sgt. Patrick Haab had the legal right to make a citizen's arrest because the man smuggling the immigrants into the country was committing a felony and the immigrants themselves were conspiring with the "coyote." Arizona law allows a private citizen to make a legal arrest if a felony has been committed and the citizen believes that the person he is ...

WASHINGTON – Sens. John McCain and Edward M.

The measure is an alternative to President Bush's guest worker proposal sought by employers but opposed by many conservatives. Speaking Thursday at the Naval Academy, McCain, R-Ariz., said he and Kennedy, D-Mass., hoped to introduce their legislation next week.

That's less than the 46 percent growth forecast for neighboring Washington, which is projected to have 8.6 million people by 2030 and the ninth-fastest growth rate.

Are some illegal aliens? As of now, the government does not have definitive answers to these questions. Unfortunately, they need to be asked because on March 29 the inspector general of the Social Security Administration published an audit report revealing that Defense, plus the Coast Guard (which is a component of the Department of Homeland Security), filed nearly 6,400 W-2 forms between 1997-2002 that could not be matched to known taxpayers and thus had to be dumped into what SSA calls the ...
