Attention Immigrants: Thanks for Your Hard Work. Now Leave. What could be better for business than a workforce that toils for next to nothing, drives down wages for everyone else, can't protest or unionize, then goes away when you're done with them? Your guide to the guest worker program. James Ridgeway May 25 , 2007 Key to the Bush administration's approach to immigration reform is the controversial guest worker program, which preserves the flow of cheap, low-skilled labor to American businesses while limiting the potential costs to employers and taxpayers. Under the program, there will be no children to educate (since guest workers won't be ...

Tamar Jacoby: The little-known driving force pushing for illegal alien amnesty By Michael Collins Piper May 28, 2007 | American Free Press Americans need to know precisely who is playing a critical part in shaping their nation’s policies and that’s why Americans need to know Tamar Jacoby. You may have never heard of her, but she’s influential in manipulating current attitudes and policies on the question of immigration. Historically and traditionally, most Americans (especially self-styled “conservatives” who have long and rightly been critics of the immigration invasion) would be surprised to learn that an influential so-called “conservative ...

Immigration judges lack apt backgrounds A growing number of the jurists have little or no experience in that area of law. Some have strong Republican resumes. By Richard B. Schmitt Times Staff Writer May 26, 2007 WASHINGTON — Over the last two years, U.S. Atty. Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales has appointed more than two dozen individuals as federal immigration judges. The new jurists include a former treasurer of the Louisiana Republican Party, who was a legal advisor to the Bush Florida recount team after the 2000 presidential election. There is also a former GOP congressional aide who had tracked voter fraud issues for the Justice Department, and a Texan ...
Steel-plated motel offers refuge in Mexico drug war

MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) - A motel in northern Mexico is putting steel doors on its rooms to protect guests from kidnappings and shootings in an escalating war between rival drug cartels. Owners of the Rancho El Trueno, or Thunder Ranch, began fortifying the highway motel near Monterrey a year ago but have decided to shield all 35 rooms as drug killings have worsened in the area in recent months. Complete with hot tubs, red imitation-leather beds, mirrored walls and striptease poles, the rooms are shuttered behind steel gates about 1.5 inches thick and some already have steel doors. "We want people to have fun and be able to feel safe. Lovers come, big groups come, we are full on ...

The Next Added 100 Million Americans - Part 34 Solutions To Our Dilemma By Frosty Wooldridge 5-24-7 Where do we start? What on earth can anyone do to change the grave results of adding 100 million people to the United States by 2040? If the current S.B. 1348 passes on mass amnesty for illegal alien migrants, Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation states that America will add as many as 103 million by 2027. What about the fact that the rest of humanity expects another three billion added by 2050? Why won't our leaders speak up about an issue so dire that it affects every American today and in the future? Why wouldn't anyone question adding 100 million people to the US ...

Minuteman's time may be up, monitor says Friday, May 25th 2007, 4:00 AM The anti-immigrant Minuteman Civil Defense Corps is "imploding" over allegations that money raised to build an elaborate border fence has done a vanishing act, a hate-group monitor said yesterday. The ruckus began when several MCDC leaders were fired after trying to confront President Chris Simcox about the whereabouts of as much as $1.8 million raised to build the fence and provide radios and night-vision scopes for border vigilantes. "By now you have probably heard rumors ... about a massive purge of your National and State Leaders. These rumors are true," ousted Deputy ...

As opponents from the right and left challenge an immigration bill before Congress, there is broad support among Americans — Democrats, Republicans and independents alike — for the major provisions in the legislation, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.-Snip
Poster Comment:This is a great example of advocacy journalism, and one of the main reasons Reid, et al, delayed the vote on the bill in the Senate. They initially met some resistance, but over the course of the next month expect lots and lots of pro-illegal articles like this. The dopey sheeple....it's soooooooo over.
Jewish Extremists Target Professor Kevin MacDonald

Jewish Extremists Target Professor Kevin MacDonald The SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center) has launched a full scale attack on Professor Kevin MacDonald. Here is an excellent letter from a Jewish professor about the attacks on Prof. MacDonald: As a Jewish professor who has read Prof. Kevin MacDonald’s trilogy (a work of immense and impeccable scholarship), I must say that he is right. In fact, he quotes many prominent Jewish leaders that say exactly what he says. Somehow, if a Gentile professor simply quotes Jewish leaders he becomes an “anti-Semite,” if that is true then what are the leaders themselves? I read with interest his work on the Jewish leadership in the long ...

Senate reaches accord on guest worker program Key change halves program to allow foreign workers into the country. By Nicole Gaouette Times Staff Writer 6:20 PM PDT, May 23, 2007 The Senate, changing a key part of the immigration bill, voted today to cut in half a proposed program to allow foreign workers into the country. The vote was the first of several as Republicans try to stiffen the bill's provisions for legal and illegal immigrants and Democrats target a key Republican element of the bill that limits family-based immigration. The bill, engineered by a small bipartisan group, hinges on a bargain that gives Democrats a provision that would legalize illegal immigrants who ...

(05-21) 15:27 PDT FARMERS BRANCH, Texas (AP) -- A federal judge Monday blocked enforcement of a voter-endorsed ordinance preventing apartment rentals to most illegal immigrants in this Dallas suburb, opponents of the ban said. The ordinance was to take effect Tuesday, more than a week after voters approved it. Opponents had filed three requests in federal court for an injunction to stop its enforcement. The ordinance requires managers to verify that renters are U.S. citizens or legal immigrants before leasing to them, with some exceptions. Violators face fines of up to $500, and each day would be considered a separate violation. Only the federal government can determine whether a ...

Francisco Gimenez risked his life to get into United States. He is not planning to leave in a hurry. Like many members of Los Angeles' immigrant community, the 27-year-old butcher is skeptical about proposed legislation intended to offer illegal workers a path to citizenship. Under reforms announced last week, Gimenez would be required to return to Mexico at some point in order to secure the right to work legally in the United States, possibly paying up to 5,000 dollars in fines additionally. Gimenez fears however that once he leaves America he won't be allowed back in. "I don't really understand that much about the bill, but I'd have to be crazy to go back to Mexico ...
Senate puts off final action on immigration deal until June

WASHINGTON — Senate leaders agreed Monday that they would wait until June to take final action on a bipartisan plan to give millions of unlawful immigrants legal status. The measure, which also tightens border security and workplace enforcement measures, unites a group of influential liberals, centrists and conservatives and has White House backing, but it has drawn criticism from across the political spectrum. In a nod to that opposition, Senate leaders won't seek to complete it before a hoped-for Memorial Day deadline. "It would be to the best interests of the Senate ... that we not try to finish this bill this week," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., as ...

Dr. Robert Rector, Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, talks with Mark Levin about the costs of amnesty. Take-away: Every low-income citizen added to the population collects, on average, $30,000 per year from the government in services -- schooling, hospitals, Social Security (including supplemental SS for low income people who haven't paid much into the system), Medicaid, etc. Each low-income citizen pays about $10,000 per year in taxes, total. Net: Each new low-income citizen added to the population costs the nation around $18,000 per year, to be borne by other taxpayers. At retirement, it gets worse. Total cost: $2.5 trillion (with a t) flowing out of Social ...

(05-21) 13:17 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- Key senators and the White House are eager to push their bipartisan immigration deal through the Senate by Memorial Day, but as the Senate opened debate on the issue Monday, hope for that deadline was slipping. Critics of the measure denounced its key elements, including its quick grant of legal status to millions of unlawful immigrants, and said they would seek to revise it. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said it was "unthinkable" that the Senate would complete the measure this week, issuing a thinly veiled filibuster threat should proponents try to speed it through.

Martinez is optimistic that the controversial legislation will make it through Congress, and he is counting on President Bush "to get us over the finish line." --CNN Late Edition Producer ...

Response to White House Myth/Fact on Immigration Bill

The White House released a "Myth/Fact" document about the immigration bill last week. But instead of setting the record straight, it perpetuated more myths. What follows are 10 myths the White House is telling us about the amnesty agreement. 1. MYTH: This is not amnesty. • FACT: This is amnesty. Title VI of this bill is amnesty, plain and simple. According to an op-ed by former Attorney General Ed Meese that appeared in the New York Times last year discussing the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, “the difference is that President Reagan called this what it was: amnesty. Indeed, look up the term ‘amnesty’ in Black’s Law Dictionary, and ...

O’Reilly warns of ‘consequences’ of immigration deal: America will become less white: Reluctantly, and I mean reluctantly, “Talking Points” is going to support this legislation. It’s the best we can get and does improve the situation. But make no mistake, it’s not fair. It drastically alters the United States of America. And there will be unintended consequences all over the place. The new census report says America’s now one-third minority. And in four states — California, New Mexico, Texas, and Hawaii — whites are the minority. So with the infusion of as many as 20 to 30 million new citizens in the next 10 years, the landscape of America ...

U.S. cracking down on smugglers who bring Cubans to Florida (12:45 p.m.) Article Launched: 05/18/2007 12:47:11 PM MDT MIAMI (AP) — A man signaled with a flashlight in the early July morning as his pregnant wife and 30 other Cubans huddled along the coast of Matanzas, Cuba. A speedy fishing boat pulled close to shore and two smugglers loaded the group aboard. Then, like thousands of other Cubans who attempt the trip each year, they prayed the cramped vessel would make it across the roughly 150 miles to Key West. If caught at sea by the Cuban or U.S. coast guards, they would be returned to the communist island to be ostracized, denied work, even imprisoned. If their boat capsized, ...
