ST. GEORGE - Hundreds of Mexican nationals were turned away with police assistance Saturday during the Mexican Consulate's first visit to Southern Utah in three years. The consulate was stationed at the St. George Catholic Church, where officials issued identification cards and passports to Mexicans, as well as helped with other issues. Spending one day in Southern Utah did not provide enough time to help everyone who was in need of the consulate's services. "It's not fair," said Paulo Avendano, who was turned away Saturday. "I don't understand why they can't spend two days here." Avendano has a work visa and lives in St. George, he said. Police ...

The Catholic Church Encourages Illegal Immigration

As countless child sex abuse scandals have rocked the Catholic Church over the last several years, American families have been leaving the church in droves. As American men and women whisk away their children from the potential risk of molestation in the Catholic church, they also take their much needed money. The coffers of U.S. Catholic churches have been running on empty and the church sees the pocketbooks of illegal immigrants as its only hope. During Pope Benedict XVI’s recent visit to the United States, he gave many speeches and sermons. Among other things, the Pope admonished Americans to adopt a welcoming attitude towards those who break our laws by entering this country ...

More than dozen people living in New Mexico and Texas are named in what appears to be a hit list from a Mexican drug cartel, law enforcement officials said. At least one police officer from southern New Mexico is among the 15 to 20 people named in the threat, said Arturo Baeza, a sheriff's captain in that state's Luna County. The list, thought to be a threat from one of Mexico's powerful and warring drug cartels, was provided June 12 to local authorities by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, Baeza said. Drug cartels are waging a bloody fight for control in Ciudad Juarez, a sprawling city across the Rio Grande from El Paso, and Palomas, a village across the ...

Border governors worried about National Guard pullout By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer Fri Jun 20, 3:01 PM ET McALLEN, Texas - The thousands of National Guardsmen sent to reinforce the U.S.-Mexican border two years ago have almost completely withdrawn, despite pleas from border-state governors once skeptical of using soldiers to catch illegal immigrants and drug smugglers. ADVERTISEMENT When the Guard was posted along the southern frontier in 2006 to help the strapped Border Patrol, critics warned that sending soldiers would be an insult to Mexico and that innocents could get shot by troops trained for combat, not law enforcement. But none of that happened, and now ...

White working-class boys becoming an underclass By Graeme Paton, Education Editor Last Updated: 4:11PM BST 18/06/2008 White teenagers are less likely to go to university than school-leavers from other ethnic groups - even with the same A-level results, according to official figures. The gap is widest among male teenagers from poor backgrounds, raising fresh fears that working class boys are becoming the education "underclass" in England. According to a Government report, just over one-in-20 white boys from poor homes goes on to university. This compares to 66 per cent of Indian girls and 65 per cent of young women from Chinese families. Article continuesadvertisement An ...

MEXICO CITY - In February, Salvador Urbina decided he was tired of the shootouts, the kidnappings and the military patrols in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juárez. So he put his house up for sale, packed up his car and moved his wife and children to El Paso, Texas, joining a growing stream of professionals who are relocating to the United States to get away from Mexico's drug wars. "I didn't want to leave," said Urbina, a lawyer. "But there's a very deep psychosis developing in Juárez. Criminals are taking advantage of the situation there. Every day I worried about the safety of my wife and family." In U.S. cities along the border, ...

Can the U.S. border fence be built on deadline without the help of foreign laborers? With 670 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border fence slated for completion by year's end, construction companies in Texas are questioning the feasibility of completing such a project without immigrant labor. The irony is not lost on businesses that have come to rely heavily on foreign-born and Hispanic workers to fill vacancies left by a shrinking domestic labor pool. "Is it possible to construct a wall without undocumented workers?" asked Perry Vaughn, executive director of the Rio Grande Valley Chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America. "It's probably ...

It was a quiet Wednesday night in the Tijuana city morgue: only eight murder victims were on ice, including two young Mexican women shot through the back of the head and dumped on waste ground. These are the latest victims of the United States’ seemingly insatiable demand for cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine, which has sparked the bloodiest drugs war in the Americas and cost more than 4,000 lives in the past 18 months. The war has pitted the Mexican government, with American help, against a ruthless drugs cartel led by a Mexican female mastermind who has a degree in business administration. The victims in the mortuary may have been smugglers who ran into a rival faction. Their ...

Tom Horne came to tell reporters he thinks the ethnic studies program has racial undertones. At times during his own press conference, the superintendent of Arizona schools could barely finish a sentence. "This is the rudeness they're taught in ethnic studies. They didn't learn that at home from their parents, they learned it from their ethnic studies teachers to be rude in that way," he says. "They teach them that they are oppressed. Instead of teaching them as their parents and grandparents believe we came to this country because it's the land of opportunity," he says. Between interruptions from supporters of the program, he read from class textbooks. ...
Top court eases rules for foreigners to try to stay in US

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court has made it easier for some foreigners who overstay their visas to seek to remain in the United States legally. The court ruled 5-4 Monday that someone who is here illegally may withdraw his voluntarily agreement to depart and continue to try to adjust his status while in the United States. The case involved two seemingly contradictory provisions of immigration law. One allows people to avoid being deported by agreeing to leave the country voluntarily. The advantage to that course is that the wait to get back to the United States is shorter. The other provision allows immigrants who are here illegally but whose circumstances have changed to make their ...
The Mystery of the Forgotten U.S. Flag Revealed (Civil Flag of the united States)

A little known odd fact about the history of Old Glory, is her sister, the forgotten Civil Flag of the United States. The existence of the first U.S. civil flag came about in 1767 when members of the "Sons of Liberty" rebelled against the Stamp Act by turning the flag of the British East India Company on its side and then flew it on the "Liberty Tree". The "on it's side" vertical stripes were then declared to represent individual sovereignty over the King of England. This new flag, also known as the "Rebellious Flag" and the "Common Law" flag, quickly became the flag of the American Revolutionaries. Ten years later, in 1776, ...

Some very confusing factors are at work relating to the USTreasury Bond market and the gold market. To assume that gold will rise in kneejerk fashion in response to the gargantuan grotesque growth in monetary inflation (aka US$ money supply) is simply naïve for the public and amateurish for professionals. Never in the US history has more confusion reigned within the body financial. This is to be expected, since the US banking system is insolvent, in parallel to the US housing landscape being increasingly insolvent. The nation must soon make difficult decisions on rebuilding the United States, its infrastructure, its energy supply industry, and put down its military weapons used ...

MILTON, Fla. — Three months after the local police inspected more than a dozen businesses searching for illegal immigrants using stolen Social Security numbers, this community in the Florida Panhandle has become more law-abiding, emptier and whiter. Many of the Hispanic immigrants who came in 2004 to help rebuild after Hurricane Ivan have either fled or gone into hiding. Churches with services in Spanish are half-empty. Businesses are struggling to find workers. And for Hispanic citizens with roots here — the foremen and entrepreneurs who received visits from the police — the losses are especially profound. “It was very hard because the community is very small, and to ...

How Water Has Become a National Security Issue

It's a colossal failure of political foresight that water has not emerged as an important issue in the U.S. Presidential campaign. The links between oil, war, and U.S. foreign policy are well known. But water -- whether we treat it as a public good or as a commodity that can be bought and sold -- will in large part determine whether our future is peaceful or perilous. Americans use water even more wastefully than oil. The U.S relies on non-renewable groundwater for 50 percent of its daily use, and 36 states now face serious water shortages, some verging on crisis. Meanwhile, dwindling freshwater supplies around the world, inequitable access to water, and corporate control of water, ...

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A woman whose American-born daughter was deported to Mexico with the father is suing the federal government for $5 million. Texas native Monica Castro accuses the U.S. Border Patrol of refusing to release her daughter to her when the girl's father was arrested in December 2003. Despite proving the child was born in the U.S., Castro says officials took the girl from Lubbock to the Texas-Mexico border. Castro did not find and regain custody of her daughter until three years later. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Corpus Christi is handling the case. They declined to comment. In court documents, the federal government contends the Border Patrol was acting ...
