COLUMBUS, N.M. (AP) - The 2 1/2-kilometre barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border was designed to keep cars from illegally crossing into the United States. There's just one problem: It was accidentally built on Mexican soil.
Now embarrassed border officials say the mistake could cost the U.S. government more than $3 million to fix.
The barrier was part of more than 24 kilometres of border fence built in 2000, stretching from the town of Columbus to an onion farm and cattle ranch.

Immigration Law to Make Impact in Ga.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Immigration reform might be dead in Washington, but it's only beginning in Georgia. Sunday, more than a year after the state legislature passed a sweeping law to keep illegal immigrants out of jobs, away from taxpayer-funded benefits and more easily within the reach of local police, most parts of the legislation will go into effect. Supporters say Senate Bill 529, as the law is known, only requires local governments to enforce federal immigration law -- for example, verifying that adults applying for non-emergency public benefits are eligible under federal statutes. Opponents and immigrant rights advocates, however, say the new law will make immigrants -- legal or not ...

Immigrant Rights Movement's next phase is non-cooperation and civil disobedience by Ernesto Cienfuegos La Voz de Aztlan Los Angeles, Alta California - June 5, 2007 - (ACN) The so called "raging debate" in congress on the Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348) is irrelevant to the proponents of a liberated Aztlan. It does not matter what final form S. 1348 will take, the quest for real economic and social equality, justice, freedom and for the establishment of a true homeland, north of the border, will continue to exist. The degree of fervor in this quest for Aztlan will be proportional to the number of repressive measures that are included in the final ...

I have come to the conclusion that somewhere, somehow, someone is providing financial backing to the millions of illegal immigrants pouring into America. Nothing else makes sense, especially when we see so many non-citizens living so very far from their native countries. My family loved to travel, so every couple years we went on a lengthy car trip. We had to carefully save money prior to each of these vacations even though we traveled on-the-cheap, usually going to...oh...homes of favorite relatives! We saved on motel and food costs; saw new places; enjoyed time with aunts, uncles, and cousins; much like the characters in The Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant, Stephen Gammell. We did take ...

Supporters Hope To Revive AgJobs Bill; would legalize 1.5 million illegal immigrants.... [they're back!!!!]

WASHINGTON — Western growers and union activists are scrambling for a fix after the comprehensive immigration bill on which they'd pinned their hopes collapsed Thursday. Facing long odds, some Westerners nonetheless say they might try resurrecting an agriculture-only portion of the immigration package. The so-called AgJobs measure would legalize 1.5 million illegal immigrants who have a history of farm work. "We're going to push it," vowed Manuel Cunha, the president of the Fresno, Calif.-based Nisei Farmers League. Like the larger immigration measure, AgJobs is complicated. As first introduced by Republican Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho in 2003, the legislation ...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush's immigration bill suffered a crushing defeat Thursday in the Senate, when members voted against advancing the controversial legislation. A final tally for the vote has not yet been announced. The bill would provides a path to citizenship for some of the 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and toughens border security. If the bill fails, supporters and opponents of the controversial legislation claim there is no way to bring it back before this Congress ends. Senators voting against cutting off debate and referring the bill for a final vote. The cloture vote required a three-fifths majority, or 60 votes. Senators cast ballots a day after ...

Fla. Sheriff Targets IllegalsJun 27, 2:27 PM (ET)By MELISSA NELSON PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) - The sheriff's department has developed a remarkably effective - and controversial - way of catching illegal immigrants: Deputies in patrol cars pull up to a construction site in force, and watch and see who runs. Those who take off are chased down and arrested on charges such as trespassing, for cutting through someone else's property, or loitering, for hiding out in someone's yard, or reckless driving, for speeding off in a car. U.S. immigration authorities are then given the names of those believed to be in this country illegally. "It's not wrong for them to run, but ...

Tonight, I will do something on the air that will cause a complete, 100%, absolute SHIT STORM to come down on me from the government. It will far surpass anything I've ever done before in its seriousness and its effect. The powers-that-be are going to go absolutely ballistic. I believe if they don't literally blow their lid, some folks in government may have a sort of stroke over this. I think some of the more laid-back types will actually end up stuttering with ferociousness over what I will do tonight because no other American has EVER done this before. Be sure to tune-in tonight from 9:00 - 11:00 PM EDT (GMT -0400) on the Hal Turner Show.
Senate kills GOP return-home requirement for all adult illegal immigrants

WASHINGTON – The Senate on Wednesday killed a Republican proposal to require all adult illegal immigrants to return home temporarily in order to qualify for permanent lawful status in this country. The vote was 53-45 to table an amendment by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, that was one of several proposals designed to respond to conservatives who decry President Bush's immigration bill as a form of amnesty. The bill could grant lawful status to as many as 12 million illegal immigrants as long as they passed background checks and paid fines and fees. Heads of household seeking permanent legal residency would have to return home to apply for green cards, however. Without her ...

h2 class="title">The New American JBS ACTION ALERT: Remove Section 413 from the Immigration Bill! The immigration debate continued today as Congress reconvened from their Memorial Day recess. Floor votes on S. 1348 are expected to begin on Tuesday, June 5. Perhaps the most significant, and most ignored, section of the immigration reform bill is Section 413 of Amendment #1150, which was offered by Senator Ted Kennedy on May 21, 2007. Among other things, the Kennedy amendment promotes the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. With no current amendment to exclude Section 413 from the text, this portion of the bill would express the sense of Congress that "the ...

Poster Comment:(Hal Turner on) This is the fate that awaits the rest of America if the Immigration Bill, pending in the Senate, is approved. America will see a complete demographic change taking us from a White, Western-European "First-World" Culture and heritage to a non-white, Meztizo, Third-World culture and heritage. The nation you know as the United States will be nothing more than one, big, brown cesspool. (/Hal Turner off)

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush encouraged the Senate on Tuesday to put aside bitter differences and pass a bill that would legalize millions of illegal immigrants. Bush appeared optimistic about winning a test vote Tuesday and the Senate's passage of the bill by week's end. "We'll be moving our attention to the House after the Senate passes this comprehensive piece of legislation," Bush told business leaders and representatives of religious, Hispanic and agricultural communities. "I think this is an historic opportunity for Congress to act." Joel Kaplan, Bush's deputy chief of staff, also was optimistic. "Our intelligence suggests that there ...

During an early Senate debate over the guest worker program in the Kennedy-Bush-McCain Axis of Amnesty bill, ABC News reported: "Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., took the Senate floor in opposition to his Democratic colleague and, red-faced and gesticulating toward [Sen. Byron] Dorgan, defended the guest worker program, yelling, 'The idea that you can have a secure border and close it completely is something that has never happened before and will not happen now'. … The Senate's 'liberal lion' continued to howl at Dorgan, demanding, 'I would like the chicken pluckers to pay $10.15 -- or $15 an hour.

Three things you can do to beat the immigration bill http://www.englishfirst.org/efalert62107.html Senator Ted Kennedy wants to put the UN in charge of U.S. immigration policy. Ted Kennedy has reintroduced the Senate immigration legislation this week and added 92 pages to its 326-page predecessor. (The new longer bill is S.1639; the shorter one is S.1348.) Pages 388-389 of revised immigration bill invoke "any treaty or other international agreement to which the United States is a party," including treaties never previously ratified by the U.S. Senate. These treaties include the "Declaration of the Rights of the Child," adopted by the United Nations in 1959 (an ...

H1-B Video Angers Lawmakers By Luke O'Brien June 22, 2007 | 12:04:05 PMCategories: Politics When an attorney at a legal ceremony last month explained how to use the H1-B visa program to hire foreign high tech workers instead of Americans, it got YouTubed, quite naturally. But when Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Lamar Smith (R-Texas) took a peek, it really went viral. Now the Senators are demanding a federal investigation. In the video, Lawrence Lebowitz of Cohen & Grigsby, breaks down a technique that lets U.S. companies hire foreign workers under the government's Program Electronic Review Management process.

LOS ANGELES - All of her life, Zoila Meyer believed she was an American. She even won election to the City Council of Adelanto. But now she is facing a threat of deportation for illegally voting, because she never became a citizen after being brought to this country from Cuba when she was 1 year old. "To be honest with you, I'm scared. How can they just pluck me out of my family, my kids?" the 40-year-old mother of four said in a telephone interview Friday. "If they can do this to me, they can do it to anybody," she said. After Meyer was elected to the council in Adelanto in 2004, someone told officials that she was born in Cuba, prompting an investigation. ...
Foundations Fund Open Borders Agenda

Thousands of private tax-exempt foundations, which could be donating millions of dollars to address domestic medical and educational needs, doggedly fund their own ideological objectives in myriad ways that harm the United States. As documented in my new book Foundations of Betrayal: How the Liberal Super-Rich Undermine America, hundreds of these big foundations specifically underwrite agendas aimed at radically changing the United States through demographic change. My research concluded that, along with the environmental groups that peddle fear and flawed science, the most popular recipient of massive foundation money is the vocal Open Borders/ multicultural lobby that, among other things, ...
