WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Mexican national on Texas' death row is awaiting possible last-minute intervention from the Supreme Court, just hours before he is scheduled to be put to death Tuesday for two brutal slayings. Jose Ernesto Medellin's execution by lethal injection could be the final act in an unusual capital appeal that pitted President Bush against his home state in a dispute over federal authority, local sovereignty and foreign treaties. The high court in March ruled for Texas, allowing the execution to proceed, but Medellin's lawyers have filed a flurry of emergency appeals in state and federal courts requesting a stay. They argue Congress and the Texas legislature ...

Nancy McLain Tuesday, August 05, 2008 KINGMAN - It's impressive how a simple postcard to the U.S. Congress can get someone into so much trouble. Rep. Nancy McLain would like to set the record straight on recent comments made by the Mohave County Minutemen. "I did not vote in favor of the North American Union," She said. "I am not for the establishment of a North American Union." During the last session, the Arizona Legislature sent a memorial bill to the U.S. Congress asking that Congress not consider a North American Union. "It's kind of like a postcard," McLain said. "It has no force or legislative effect." She generally votes ...

SHENANDOAH, Pa. — Crystal Dillman knows that four teenagers have been charged in the death of her fiancé, Luis Ramirez, that the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department is monitoring the case and that most people in this small town in the Appalachian Mountains believe it was a horrible crime. But Ms. Dillman, the mother of Mr. Ramirez’s two young children, is not sure justice will prevail. “I think they might get off,” she said of the four teenagers, “because Luis was an illegal Mexican and these are ‘all-American boys’ on the football team who get good grades, or whatever they’re saying about them. They’ll find some way to let ...

Kosher slaughterhouse owners surrounded by scandal By DAVID B. CARUSO – 13 hours ago NEW YORK (AP) — Two decades ago, the Rubashkin family of Brooklyn opened up a kosher slaughterhouse amid the cornfields of Iowa — not exactly a center of Jewish culture. The bearded, fedora-wearing strangers from Brooklyn quickly transformed Postville into its own small-town melting pot. Immigrants from Guatemala and Mexico began arriving in great numbers to work at the slaughterhouse. Soon, the town was home to churches and temples, and the shelves of the grocery stores were stocked with tortillas and bagels. Lately, though, the Rubashkins' grand cultural experiment seems to have lost ...

By Chuck BaldwinAugust 5, 2008NewsWithViews.com Both Republican Party Presidential candidate John McCain and Democrat Party Presidential candidate Barack Obama recently spoke at the annual convention of the National Council of La Raza. I'm sure most readers understand that "La Raza" is Spanish for "The Race."That McCain and Obama would pander before an organization such as La Raza indicates just how deeply both the Republican and Democrat parties are committed to appeasing the pro-illegal immigration forces. And mark it down: there is not a more pro-illegal alien organization in existence than La Raza.As a comparison: can one imagine the maelstrom that would be ...

HIV-positive migrants accuse US of neglect Monday, August 04, 2008 9:35:46 PM By JULIE WATSON Olga Arellano sobs as she recalls how her HIV-positive daughter spent two months succumbing to infections in a U.S. migrant detention center, complaining that she didn't see a doctor or get the right medicine. Fellow inmates also begged for help after Victoria Arellano started vomiting blood in their holding cell, where her lawyer said 105 detainees were crammed onto bunks and mattresses in a space designed for 40. She died three days later, chained to a hospital bed. The death of the 23-year-old transgender Mexican immigrant is at the forefront of discussions at this week's ...
Italy Deploys Troops in Cities to Tackle Crime

An anti-crime measure in Italy has some 3,000 troops taking up positions and patrolling streets in cities across the country Monday. But can the military help cut crime? The controversial deployment of nearly 3,000 troops throughout Italy was introduced by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's center-right government as a move that would help combat crime. The government, which took office in April after Berlusconi successfully campaigned on a law-and-order platform, has linked crime and illegal immigration and passed a series of measures aimed at cracking down on both. To that end, the government began a six-month deployment of hundreds of troops who now join local police forces in ...

In this commentary there is a certain amount of skepticism mixed with cautious optimism. Have a handful of brave, dedicated, concerned citizens and action groups slayed the North American Union monster? It is true that we have been afforded a sort of reprieve, and have been given a little breathing room. We might have the globalists on the ropes, but they aren’t about to throw in the towel just yet. They are in their corner regrouping, retooling, plotting a different strategy, looking for a weakness. They are predators, conniving, ruthless, arrogantly confident and at the same time highly motivated. Much of their agenda has already been ...

JOLOMCÚ, Guatemala — High in the hills of Guatemala, shut inside the one-room house where he spends day and night on a twin bed beneath a seriously outdated calendar, Luis Alberto Jiménez has no idea of the legal battle that swirls around him in the lowlands of Florida. Shooing away flies and beaming at the tiny, toothless elderly mother who is his sole caregiver, Mr. Jiménez, a knit cap pulled tightly on his head, remains cheerily oblivious that he has come to represent the collision of two deeply flawed American systems, immigration and health care. Eight years ago, Mr. Jiménez, 35, an illegal immigrant working as a gardener in Stuart, Fla., suffered ...

In a north London suburb last week, a schoolgirl was beaten, gang-raped and then had drain-cleaning fluid poured on her body apparently to destroy DNA evidence. In the eternal cesspit of senseless urban crime, I feel that a dreadful nadir of sorts has been reached, a benchmark of slaked lust and casual, sadistic cruelty. Police sources say the 16-year-old will never fully recover from the injuries caused by the caustic soda and, at the time of writing, she remains under heavy sedation in a burns unit, fighting for her life. One could weep an ocean for this young woman, her life ruined by these savages, who hunted in a pack like animals and dragged her to an empty house, caring nothing for ...

All convictions were affirmed except those for tampering with official proceedings, which has been remanded for resentencing. In his opinion Judge E.

Chinese mothers seek their own "gold medal" baby with American citizenship

In May 2008, President George W. Bush signed into law The Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008. Chinese mothers are using the law as a means to bring home their own ‘gold medal,’ a baby with American citizenship. The Act enabled the United States to take over the labor and immigration system of Saipan, the largest island and capital of the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). As a result, employers in Saipan are now allowed to apply for U.S. work visas for immigrant workers under the new act. Also, importantly, babies born in Saipan are now automatically U.S. citizens. Many Chinese moved quickly to take advantage of the act. Immigration services in big ...

Hegemony Everywhere But At Home By Paul Craig Roberts What explains the fantastic amount of resources that Americans have thrown into combating a nonexistent Muslim threat to the United States, while acquiescing to decades-long encroachment by illegal aliens? According to economic and budgetary experts, the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq will cost Americans in excess of $3 trillion. And that might only be the beginning. Currently, the US military is violating Pakistan’s sovereignty by conducting military strikes within Pakistan’s borders, and the political regime in Washington, pushed by its Israeli overlord, has been preparing the American people for an attack on Iran. ...
Tide of illegal immigrants now being reversed

Thu Jul 31, 4:00 AM ET Washington - Some 1.3 million illegal immigrants have left the United States since Congress failed to pass comprehensive immigration reform in the summer of 2007. If the trend continues, according to a new study, the nation's illegal population will drop by half in the next five years. Moreover, reports the Center for Immigration Studies, young Hispanic immigrants began heading south before the nation's economy did – a clue that what's driving the new outmigration is a stepped-up border and workplace enforcement, not a souring US job market. The source of the report – a think tank with a record of opposing illegal and even some legal ...
US Humiliates Illegal Immigrants

Guatemala, Jul 28 (Prensa Latina) The Guatemalan Catholic Church said illegal immigrants are humiliated in the United States, from where nearly 15,000 Guatemalans have been expelled so far this year. Archbishop Rodolfo Quezada Toruño condemned the practice of installing chips on the immigrants to keep them under control, as they do with criminals on parole. "Installing a device on people to locate them is humiliating. It is a sign of slavery," the cardinal said during a mass in the metropolitan cathedral. Quezada urged the Guatemalan government to improve legal advisory to immigrants in order to reduce deportations, and to guarantee more job opportunities, so that people ...

Rather than risk getting caught, turn yourselves in. That's the latest government strategy in its ongoing effort to dramatically reduce the nation's ballooning population of illegal immigrants. Scheduled to be unveiled next week, it was announced Sunday by Julie Myers, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in an interview with a Spanish-language television network. Myers told the network that "Operation Scheduled Departure" will allow illegal immigrants without criminal records a chance to literally "self-deport" by turning themselves in to her agents. She said the idea derived from a common complaint voiced by immigrant detainees: If given the ...

POSTVILLE, Iowa - Scores of Somali immigrants are taking jobs at the nation’s largest kosher meatpacking plant, replacing Hispanic workers arrested in a huge immigration raid and forcing a remote Iowa town to make another cultural shift. Before the May 12 raid at Agriprocessors, hundreds of Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants maintained a vibrant community in Postville, a largely white community of 2,200 people in northeast Iowa. Now the stoops and haunts once occupied by Hispanics are being filled by about 150 Somali men. Aydurus Farah, a 21-year-old who immigrated from Somalia in 2004, set out for work in meatpacking plants to make money for his family back home in Somalia. -Snip

The above FOIA was my attempt to access that report. Our nation, with the blessing of our government, is being flooded with illegals, drugs and gangs. NAFTA was never about free trade.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The scene repeats itself daily on city streets: a driver gets stuck bumper to bumper, blocking an intersection and preventing another car from turning left. But authorities say that was enough to cause Edwin Ramos to unload an AK-47 assault weapon on a man and his two sons, killing them. The deaths immediately drew public outrage, which intensified when authorities revealed that Ramos, 21, is an illegal immigrant who managed to avoid deportation despite previous brushes with the law. The case has put San Francisco's liberal politics to the test, setting off a debate over its sanctuary law that shields undocumented immigrants from deportation. On Wednesday, Ramos ...

Ignacio "Nacho" Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, the two Border Patrol agents shamelessly prosecuted by the U.S. government for shooting and wounding a Mexican drug smuggler, Oswald Aldrete-Davila, on February 17, 2005, have not been forgotten by many Americans -- such as attorney's from Judicial Watch -- who are actively pursuing their release from captivity. The two Border Patrol agents were sentenced to 11 and 12 years respectively. Meanwhile, Aldrete-Davila, who attempted to smuggle 750 pounds of marijuana into the U.S., was given medical treatment and immunity for his testimony against the railroaded border agents. "Instead of giving these two dedicated law ...
