A Casa Furniture and Bedding store in Alexandria has been advertising easy credit with a twist: “no gringo papers” necessary. A sign outside the store at the intersection of North Beauregard and King streets reads, “Credito sin papeles de gringo.” In English, that could be translated to say “Credit without gringo papers.” Blanca Granados, the store's assistant manager, translated the message to mean “just 'without white papers,' like Social Security or like that.” Miss Granados said the store requires customers who purchase furniture on credit to fill out an application and provide personal documentation. The store will accept a ...

Police said they had advised Mr. Quintanilla to resolve the warrants before returning to the city. ...

(AXcess News) New York - New York governor Eliot Spitzer has backed down on his drivers license plan that would have created a third class of licensing illegal immigrants who operate motor vehicles in the state. Spitzer's plan to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens has caused such a stir that it even spilled over into Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid, but sources close to Spitzer leaked news late Tuesday that the Governor was abandoning his push for giving id to illegal immigrants. Spitzer is expected to address New York lawmakers this morning. In October, Gov. Spitzer moved to cut a deal with the Department of Homeland Security to create three distinct types ...

View VIDEO Hey, all, The “No Border Camp” on the Calexico - Mexicali border ended with a thorough ass-whooping. On the last day everything went well, up until the last moment, when participants marched down to the border wall, attempted to shut down traffic on the road, by laying down in the middle of the street, in traffic, and started cutting holes in the boder fence. Within seconds approximately 100 Border Patrol agents showed up, and surrounded the crowd. An activist drummer tried to motivate his comrades and annoy BP agents with his war drum. He was repeatedly asked to cut it out. He chose to ignore the wise words. BP agents consequently wiped up the street with the guy, ...
Elitist Economists, Immigration, And The American Future

Economist Bryan Caplan [email him], an associate professor at George Mason U., a commuter school in suburban Virginia, has been getting a lot of good press for his recent book The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies which argues that voters should have less power because they make bad decisions compared to experts—such as (to pick a random example) economists. Thus Caplan wrote in the online journal of the libertarian-turned-Beltway-Establishment-wannabe Cato Institute: "Consider the case of immigration policy. Economists are vastly more optimistic about its economic effects than the general public. The Survey of Americans and Economists on the ...

Ecuador. My new home. I have no idea when I'll be returning to the states. I will at some point, but it's not on the calendar, and even when the time comes, it'll likely only be to visit. That's what I get for having met my wonderful Ecuadorian fiance, Carolina. A new home in a new country where the Christmas season annually ushers in the most sweltering few months of the year instead of some crisp winter wonderland with hot chocolate, sniffles and high heating bills. LWAN stands for "Life Without A Number". A social security number. I gave it a shot. It supposed to be legal to not have one in the USA, and it is. Even the federal government still says so. But in ...

Sunday November 4, 2007 Three Romanians were in hospitals in Rome yesterday - one of them seriously injured - after being attacked by a masked, club-wielding gang on Friday night in the latest escalation of racial tension in Italy following the beating to death of a naval captain's wife. The violence, condemned by local politicians, came as authorities in Milan carried out the first expulsions of Romanians under new legislation that came into effect on Friday allowing for the removal of EU citizens judged to be a threat to public security. Italian television showed four men being hustled aboard an airliner by police after nightfall. Emotions were again running high yesterday at ...
Number of Britons in work falls by 270,000 - because migrants get most new jobs

The number of Britons in work has fallen sharply in the past two years, Whitehall figures have shown. Despite an economic boom that has created tens of thousands of jobs, the new posts are largely going to migrants. An estimated 540,000 foreigners have found work in Britain over the past 18 months. But at the same time the native workforce has shrunk by 270,000. The disclosure is a fresh embarrassment to ministers who have had to dramatically revise upwards the official figures on migrant workers. The latest numbers - given to MPs by Employment Minister Caroline Flint - show that since spring last year, 330,000 workers from Europe and 210,000 from elsewhere have found employment in the ...

11 of 18 in burn unit undocumented: UCSD cases put focus on who pays for care

The fact that 11 of the 18 wildfire victims lying in UCSD Medical Center's burn unit are illegal immigrants with no apparent health coverage highlights the daunting financial challenge hospitals face in providing long-term, intensive care for all those who need it. “These are the most expensive kinds of cases, but we don't look at these patients and say, oh, because they aren't legal residents, we'll stop providing care or stop changing their bandages,” said Dr. Thomas McAfee, UCSD's physician-in-chief. “It's part of our ethic to continue to provide this care no matter what.” According to the Mexican Consulate in San Diego, the burn victims are ...

Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, "Mexican visitor's lament" -- 10/25/07. She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, "They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes...what happens to your country's economy if 20 million people go away?" That's a good question it deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers may surprise you! In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it ...

The Bush administration and New York cut a deal Saturday to create a new generation of super-secure driver's licenses for U.S. citizens, but also allow illegal immigrants to get a version. Amid mass protestations, New York Governmor Eliot Spitzer okayed illegal aliens to obtain drivers licenses. New York is the fourth state to reach such an agreement on federally approved secure licenses, after Arizona, Vermont and Washington. The issue is pressing for border states, where new and tighter rules are soon to go into effect for crossings. Newsday reports that Saturday's agreement with the Homeland Security Department will create a three-tier license system in New York. It is the ...

NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said the two devices were replica grenades packed with explosive powder, eerily similar to an incident at the British Consulate two years ago.

Mexicans Miss Money From Relatives Up North

EL RODEO, Mexico — For years, millions of Mexican migrants working in the United States have sent money back home to villages like this one, money that allows families to pay medical bills and school fees, build houses and buy clothes or, if they save enough, maybe start a tiny business. But after years of strong increases, the amount of migrant money flowing to Mexico has stagnated. From 2000 to 2006, remittances grew to nearly $24 billion a year from $6.6 billion, rising more than 20 percent some years. In 2007, the increase so far has been less than 2 percent. Migrants and migration experts say a flagging American economy and an enforcement campaign against illegal workers in ...

MEXICO CITY: President Felipe Calderón of Mexico is delivering a grim message: The largest oil producer in Latin America is running out of crude. "Our oil reserves have been consistently falling," and the decline is "severely threatening" government finances, Calderón told a nationwide television audience in an address last month at the National Palace. That is the same place where seven decades earlier Lázaro Cárdenas cemented the anti-U.S. legacy of his presidency by nationalizing the oil industry. Mexico was the sixth-biggest producer last year, after Saudi Arabia, Russia, United States, Iran and China, down from fifth in 2005, according ...

The Netherlands is home to about 1 million Muslims out of a population of 16 million.

Report Says Mexico Violence Could Hit USBy KELLEY SHANNON Associated Press Writer Oct 17th, 2007 | AUSTIN, Texas -- Deteriorating security in Mexico and clashes between cartels will make this the deadliest year yet for that nation's drug-related crime, and the violence is spilling into the United States, according to a report released Wednesday.

Changed Overnight: Race in Finland A Country that is doing just about everything wrong. by Edward Dutton Immigration in Finland is a powder keg waiting to explode. Until the mid-1990s, Finland was one of the few Western European nations with almost no non-white immigrants. In just ten years, there has been a dramatic change, and the country is quickly finding itself with the problems that beset its neighbors to the south and west. Due in part to its unique history, Finland is doing just about everything wrong. As recently as 1995, there were people in the medium-sized western Finnish city of Kokkola who, as one resident put it, “had only ever seen a black person on TV.” Now, ...

Judge delays crackdown on employers of illegal workers

A federal judge signaled Monday that he is likely to prevent the Bush administration from threatening employers with prosecution if they fail to fire illegal immigrants. The administration's proposed crackdown on employers does not appear to be authorized by law, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said during a two-hour hearing in San Francisco. That is the position of labor unions that have sued to block proposed new federal regulations, which they say could lead to firings of thousands of legally employed workers. Over government objections, Breyer extended for up to 10 days a temporary restraining order issued Aug. 31 by another federal judge that stopped officials from mailing ...
