TAOS, N.M. – Larry Whitten marched into this northern New Mexico town in late July on a mission: resurrect a failing hotel. The tough-talking former Marine immediately laid down some new rules. Among them, he forbade the Hispanic workers at the run-down, Southwestern adobe-style hotel from speaking Spanish in his presence (he thought they'd be talking about him), and ordered some to Anglicize their names. No more Martin (Mahr-TEEN). It was plain-old Martin. No more Marcos. Now it would be Mark. Whitten's management style had worked for him as he's turned around other distressed hotels he bought in recent years across the country. The 63-year-old Texan, however, ...

New Yorkers are fleeing the state and city in alarming numbers -- and costing a fortune in lost tax dollars, a new study shows. More than 1.5 million state residents left for other parts of the United States from 2000 to 2008, according to the report from the Empire Center for New York State Policy. It was the biggest out-of-state migration in the country. The vast majority of the migrants, 1.1 million, were former residents of New York City -- meaning one out of seven city taxpayers moved out. "The Empire State is being drained of an invaluable resource -- people," the report said. What's worse is that the families fleeing New York are being replaced by lower-income ...

Over 18 million human beings starve to death in third world countries around the world annually. According to the World Health Organization,10 million of them are children that die of starvation or related conditions yearly. When you watch religious channels featuring appeals to "Save the Children" in Africa, South America and Asia, what constitutes the driving condition of their plight? Illiteracy! Culture! Profligate fecundity! At the same time, how can the Western world in Europe and North America enjoy endless 'all you can eat' buffets seven days a week that created over 180 million obese people in the United States alone? Education! Culture! Personal choice! What ...

With only four days remaining until Congressman Luis Gutierrez files his Comprehensive Amnesty legislation, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is moving into position to harness the dramatic public backlash by positioning the group on social media sites and preparing Tea Parties Against Amnesty to be held across America on November 14! "We know that the honest polling data shows over three to one opposition to the Gutierrez Obama Comprehensive Amnesty path to citizenship legislation," says William Gheen of ALIPAC. "ALIPAC stands ready to organize and channel the backlash wave of anger that is coming into peaceful civic action designed to remove many lawmakers who ...
Labour wanted mass immigration to make UK more multicultural, says former adviser

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett. He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open up the UK to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote". As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the economic benefits and need for more migrants. Critics said the ...

Authorities say recent raids have targeted La Familia Michoacana's fast-growing operations in California, Texas and other states. Reporting from Washington - In a series of recent raids throughout the United States, federal authorities have arrested nearly 1,200 people who they say are connected to one of Mexico's most aggressively expanding and deadly drug trafficking cartels, known as La Familia Michoacana, law enforcement officials told The Times' Washington bureau. At least 300 of the arrests occurred today and Wednesday in California, Texas, Georgia and numerous other U.S. locations where the crime syndicate has set up bases to engage in drug trafficking, extortion and ...

Los Zetas was initially the criminal mercenary army for Mexico's Gulf Cartel. However, since the arrest of Osiel Cárdenas Guillen, as well as other events, the two entities are a combined trafficking force, with the Zetas now taking a more active role in drug trafficking. Their two organizations now collectively refer to themselves as the "Company".[1][2][3][4] The group was founded by former Mexican Army elite soldiers and is now formed by ex-federal, state, and local police officers, as well as ex-Kaibiles from Guatemala, bringing a total force of over 4000 men. Los Zetas are now led by Heriberto "El Lazca" Lazcano and are considered by the Drug Enforcement ...

La Familia Michoacana (Spanish: The Michoacán Family) or La Familia (Spanish: The Family) is a Mexican drug trafficking cartel based in Michoacán, Mexico —President Felipe Calderón's home state. Formerly answering to the Gulf Cartel —as part of Los Zetas[1][2] — it has split off as its own organization since 2006.[1][3] The cartel's current leader, Nazario Moreno González known as El Más Loco (Spanish: The Craziest One)[4] preaches his organisation's divine right to eliminate enemies. He carries a "bible" of his own sayings and insists that his army of traffickers and hitmen avoid using the narcotics they sell.[5] ...

Part 1: Illiteracy leads to shoplifting, babies, crime, gangs As an educator in Colorado through the 70s, 80s and 90s, I watched academic standards and expectations drop like a brick in a bucket of water, like a jet fighter plane auguring into the ground, like water cascading over Niagara Falls. As if guided by an invisible hand nationwide, administrators forced teachers to dumb down the academic requirements. Teachers passed kids to the next grade level whether those children performed or not. As they failed to cement their educational foundations with the basics—the gaps in their math, science, reading and English skills—created terrible frustrations in their personal lives. ...

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Immigrant rights activists are calling on U.S. retailers to stop selling two controversial "Illegal Alien" costumes that have surfaced for Halloween, saying the outfits are a broadside attack on illegal immigrants. The "Illegal Alien Adult Costume," manufactured by Forum novelties, includes an orange jumpsuit, similar to prison garb, with "Illegal Alien" stamped in black across the chest; a space alien mask; and a fake Green Card. The "Illegal Alien Mask with Hat" also includes a space alien mask, this time with a dark handlebar mustache and a baseball cap.

SURPRISE, Ariz. — An Arizona sheriff known for cracking down on people who are in the country illegally launched a crime and immigration sweep in northwestern metro Phoenix on Friday, a half day after officials in Washington limited his powers to make federal immigration arrests. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose sweeps have led to allegations of racial profiling, said the rebuff from Washington won't stop him. He said he can still arrest immigrants under a state smuggling law and a federal law that gives all local police agencies more limited power to detain suspected illegal immigrants. "It doesn't bother me, because we are going to do the same thing," ...

The suspended driver and illegal immigrant blew a red light and slammed a pickup into a minivan near 180th Street and West Center Road in May — killing 4-year-old van passenger Josie Bluhm. For those actions, Eleazar Rangel-Ochoa pleaded no contest Tuesday to driving under suspension, a felony, and misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide. And Rangel-Ochoa remains distraught, his attorney said. He isn't the only one. Josie's loved ones, including parents Kyle and Jayme Bluhm, have had to carry on without their 4-year-old middle child — a blonde-haired, blue-eyed bundle of fun. Jayme Bluhm was driving the couple's three children, then ages 5, 4 and 1, to day care on May ...

spoke to the office of my congressional representative (republican) today. During a 15 minute conversation, the staffer I spoke to mentioned that the US government is reluctantly acknowledging the US has 47 million illegals in the US. I came back to that and asked if she could say that again--that there are 47 million illegals in the US?? She said the US gov't doesn't really know because there's no real way to count them, but yes, they are acknowledging that number at the present time. Can anyone verify that the gov't is admitting to the 47 million illegals? I"m still searching. Two things--with this health care bill coming up, we are told there are 47 million ...
Congress dismisses building additional Mexico fence

The US Congress has rejected to erect another 300 miles of tall fencing on the Mexico border, as Washington struggles to stop smugglers and illegal immigrants from entering the US soil. Congress scrapped an appropriation bill by the Department of Homeland Security that envisaged equipping another 300 miles of US-Mexico border with fencing. Lawmakers said the requested funds should be used in alternative ways to boost security, the Associated Press reported Saturday. By dropping the plan, lawmakers echoed the sentiments expressed by officials and residents along the southwest border who maintained that the additional fencing would be unproductive and inefficient. Congressmen also ...

Reporting from Komarom, Hungary - The right-wing demonstrators have gathered here on the fringe of a long-lost empire, near the border with Slovakia, the banks of the Danube, along rusting train tracks that stretch northwest to Vienna. They wear wraparound sunglasses, leather vests and combat boots; and they knot around their necks the red and white striped flags reminiscent of Hungary's pro-Nazi party of the 1930s and '40s. "Take your guns in your hands," rasps a singer. "This is the last fight we're going to win. Endurance." And then: "I may have big boots. You may throw a stone at me. But this is still my country, this is where my cradle ...

Homeland Security Curtails Sheriff's Powers Written by Steven J. DuBord Friday, 09 October 2009 13:19 The Department of Homeland Security has revoked the special immigration enforcement contract it had under Federal Law 287g with Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County in Arizona. An October 6 press release from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office reported that “the decision to curtail the Sheriff’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent status emanates from as high as the White House,” which is no surprise given President Obama’s support of amnesty for illegal immigrants. The move by Homeland Security ostensibly stems from complaints that ...

In the Plaza Comunitaria program, the Mexican government provides all the materials to offer primary, secondary and high school education in Spanish to immigrants in the United States. The need to further the education of immigrants in the United States brought more than 40 people from across the region to Chattanooga for a two-day workshop. The goal of the workshop, held Wednesday and today, was to teach attendees how to operate a Plaza Comunitaria, an educational initiative of the Mexican government. “We are starting to open a Plaza (in Nashville) because we found that 55 percent (of 100 people surveyed) didn’t have their basic education,” said María Guadalupe ...

While you discovered the dreary reality of Detroit, Michigan-that's only one American city! Commensurately-Miami, Chicago, Houston, New York, Los Angeles and others follow toward a range of similar futures. Ask yourself, with 15 million Americans unemployed and 35 million subsisting on food stamps, does it make sense to import 160,000 legal immigrants into this country every 30 days and a total of 1.5 million plus annually? Especially when those immigrants cost American taxpayers (you) a total of $346 billion in resettling services across 15 federal agencies annually? At this point in time, with 10 million legal and unlawful immigrants, California suffers a $24 billion debt. It cannot ...

Financial Bust Connected to Illegal Alien Mortgages by William Campenni 10/05/2009 In the Medieval era -- when the periodic table of the elements was comprised of only Fire, Earth, Air, and Water -- alchemists posited the existence of a fifth magical substance, Quintessence, which when mixed in combinations of the other four would create every other form of matter. They searched in vain for this ethereal substance in their pursuit of a means of changing base metals into gold. Their quest went unrealized, but this magical quintessence was subsequently discovered five centuries later by the new alchemists: mortgage bankers and investors. They found a way to ...

AUSTRALIA'S population soared by almost half a million people in the year to March - a boom not seen since the 1960s. A green group says that's no cause for celebration and has called for immigration to be cut to protect the environment. Australian Bureau of Statistics data released today shows the population increased by just over two per cent - or 439,000 people - in the year to March. There are now 21.8 million of us. Most of the recent increase - almost 300,000 people - was due to immigration. But there's also a mini-baby boom, with 160,000 babies entering the world during the year. Recent research showed Australia's population would balloon to 35 million - seven ...

Four people were injured in a gun battle Tuesday involving an attempt to smuggle illegal immigrants from Mexico at the busiest border crossing in the U.S., authorities said. More than 70 people travelling in three vans involved in the incident were in federal custody, said U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman Angelica DeCima. Details remained sketchy, but van drivers tried to storm past inspectors at the San Ysidro port of entry and make their way into the United States without stopping, Ms. DeCima said. “It was human smuggling, definitely,” said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Three of the injured people were in the vans, and ...
