A Nightmare For Colorado Taxpayers By Frosty Wooldridge http://ColoradoDaily.com 12-29-5 The Dream Act Jared Polis shoves down Colorado taxpayers' throats (CD "Your Take" Dec. 21) costs millions more than he acknowledges. It may be a "dream" for illegal alien students, but a nightmare for Coloradans. It's been shown that from one-third to one-half of illegal aliens work off the books. Their activity in the United States represents the second largest underground economy in the world. Billions of dollars are not paid in IRS income taxes annually because employers defraud the federal government. American taxpayers make up the difference. Additionally, illegal aliens ...

Bitter Debate Over 'Birthright Citizenship'

NEW YORK - A proposal to change long-standing federal policy and deny citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants on U.S. soil ran aground this month in Congress, but it is sure to resurface — kindling bitter debate even if it fails to become law. At issue is "birthright citizenship" — provided for since the Constitution's 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868. Section 1 of that amendment, drafted with freed slaves in mind, says: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." Some conservatives in Congress, as well as advocacy groups seeking to crack down on illegal ...
Mexico Retaliates for Border Wall Plan

MEXICO CITY — The Mexican government, angered by a U.S. proposal to extend a wall along the border to keep out migrants, has struck back with radio ads urging Mexican workers to denounce rights violations in the United States. Facing a growing tide of anti-immigrant sentiment north of the border, the Mexican government is also hiring an American public relations firm to improve its image. Mexican President Vicente Fox denounced the U.S. measures, passed by the House of Representatives on Friday, as "shameful" and his foreign secretary, Luis Ernesto Derbez, said Monday the wall was "stupid." It's hard to underestimate the ill-feeling the proposal has generated in ...

Walker's World: Europe's migrant elephant By MARTIN WALKER UPI Editor WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- The vast sense of relief and even the outbreaks of modest euphoria among European leaders at finally settling their battle of the budget in Brussels will be reinforced by the latest news from the world trade talks in Hong Kong. It seems that there will be enough of a deal to save face all round, and the Europeans will escape the massive blame they deserve for clinging to their indefensible farm subsidy system for another eight years. Whew! Lucky old Europe dodged two bullets. Maybe now the Europeans can start facing up the elephant that has taken up residence in their collective drawing ...

Provision to add high-tech visas gets dropped from budget bill By Erica Werner The Associated Press WASHINGTON — A Senate-passed measure to add more visas for foreign workers in high-tech and specialty fields was dropped from a budget bill that passed the House early Monday, disappointing high-tech and manufacturing firms in search of skilled workers. The Senate plan would have allowed 30,000 more of the popular H1-B visas each year and would have increased fees for those visas to help trim the budget deficit. Congress capped the six-year H-1B visas at 65,000 per year in 2004, and that cap has already been reached for the 2006 fiscal year that began Oct. 1. The Senate language ...

AN UNENDING FLOOD OF IMMIGRANTS By Frosty Wooldridge December 16, 2005>http://NewsWithViews.com On December 6, 2005, former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan wrote a brilliant essay published around the country.

Buchanan spelled out how grossly out of touch George Bush is as the cheer leader on the sidelines that can’t get into the game because of his inability to play with the big boys. “No Amnesty, No Deal, Mr. President,” by Pat Buchanan stands as one of those essays that needs to be a national treasure.

Illegal Immigration Could Be a Felony By Nicole Gaouette The Los Angeles Times Thursday 15 December 2005 House Republicans push legislation that defies Bush's guest-worker plan, under which criminals are not eligible for legal status. Washington - Under immigration legislation being considered in the House, living illegally in the United States would no longer be a violation of civil immigration law. It would be a federal crime. But making the nation's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants into felons could deal a fatal blow to the proposed guest-worker program that is a cornerstone of President Bush's immigration overhaul, because immigrants who have committed crimes are not ...

End of the Rainbow South Central Los Angeles ushers in a new era of racial tension—this time between blacks and Hispanics. by Roger D. McGrath Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition has a ways to go in Los Angeles, where Mexicans and blacks are killing each other at record rates. The action is particularly hot in South Central Los Angeles and in nearby Compton, two areas that have undergone a dramatic shift during the last two decades from virtually all black to half or more Hispanic. Most of the schools in these areas are now majority Latino, something I could not possibly have imagined when I was in high school in the early 1960s. By that time South Central and Compton had made a ...
Mexico Condemns Immigration Bill

MEXICO CITY — The Mexican government slammed the U.S. Congress for approving an immigration bill that would tighten border controls and make it harder for undocumented immigrants to get jobs. The House of Representatives voted 239-182 in favor of measures that would enlist military and local law enforcement to help stop illegal entrants and require employers to verify the legal status of their workers. The House also authorized the building of a fence along parts of the U.S.-Mexico border, but did not include any new temporary work program for migrants, something Mexico insists is needed.

Survey finds 1 in 20 lack basic English skills By Greg Toppo, USA TODAY Eleven million U.S. adults — about one in 20 — have such poor English skills that they can't read a newspaper, understand the directions on a bottle of pills or, in many cases, carry on a basic conversation, says a new federal survey that offers the first peek in more than a decade at the USA's "non-literate" adult population. Recent immigrants with limited or no English skills account for most of the group, adult education advocates say, but the survey suggests that even the average adult has low skills. Only 13%, for instance, are able to compare viewpoints in two editorials; interpret a table on ...

(California) Suit Challenges Tuition Break for Illegals

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A group of out-of-state college students sued to challenge a law that lets some classmates who are illegal immigrants pay the lower in-state rate if they graduated from California high schools. The class-action lawsuit said the policy violates a federal law barring states from offering benefits to illegal immigrants that are not available to U.S. citizens. The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Yolo County by 42 plaintiffs seeks unspecified damages. The difference in fees can amount to many thousands of dollars a year. For example, out-of-state students pay nearly $24,000 a year to attend the University of California, about $17,000 more than California residents. The 2002 ...
Don't Complicate Immigration Reform

Don't Complicate Immigration Reform Rep. Ron Paul, M.D. Congress is poised to consider an immigration reform bill this week, but as usual the devil will be in the details. A sensible bill would bolster enforcement of existing immigration laws, reject any form of amnesty, and address the underlying welfare state that adds to the problem. I fear, however, that Congress will bow to the president and accept some sort of amnesty. Even worse, I fear Congress may use the immigration bill to create a national employment database that has nothing to do with border control and everything to do with monitoring American citizens and employers. Most Americans understandably want Congress to do ...

The NSW parliament will convene today for an emergency session to pass new police laws allowing authorities to lock down trouble spots, seize cars and turn off alcohol.

WASHINGTON - The number of immigrants in the United States reached a new high this year after the biggest five-year increase in American history, said a study released Monday by the Center for Immigration Studies. Nearly 7.9 million immigrants - about half of them believed to be illegal - settled in the U.S. between January 2000 and 2005, boosting the total number of immigrants in the nation to 35.1 million, the study said. About 1.8 million immigrants during that period entered California, more than any other state, according to the study by the D.C.-based think tank that favors immigration control and analyzed Census Bureau data.

RETALIATION: Rampage of hate By STEVE GEE December 13, 2005 TERRIFIED residents told yesterday how they were bashed, threatened with firearms and forced to cower inside their homes after up to 100 youths of Middle Eastern descent rampaged through Maroubra in apparent retaliation for the Cronulla race riots. As locals counted the cost, more than 60 damaged cars lined two of Maroubra's main streets yesterday. Residents told how they watched in horror - many cowering inside with their children - as youths descended on Maroubra and Malabar Rds, targeting virtually every car in the street. One man, Steve, said he was threatened with a handgun and chased inside his home when he went to ...

Night of retribution By ANGELA KAMPER December 13, 2005 ROCKS were hurled, blood was shed and young men armed with bats and iron bars laid siege to Cronulla as a second wave of racial violence swept Sydney last night. Police ordered scores of trouble makers to the ground at gunpoint in a bid to regain control following a day of rising tension across the city. The first flashpoint was Lakemba, where a small group of Caucasian men began vandalising cars near the mosque. A crowd of about 500 local men quickly gathered, some of them turning on the interlopers while others threw missiles at police. Shortly afterwards carloads of Lakemba men headed for Cronulla and nearby suburbs, bashing ...
