Latinos land 2 in 3 U.S. construction jobs WASHINGTON, March 7 (UPI) -- Latinos make up 13.6 percent of the U.S. employment population, but accounted for 36.7 percent of the 2006 U.S. employment growth, a study showed Wednesday. Most of the jobs Hispanic workers landed were in the construction industry, the Pew Hispanic Center said. In fact, two out of every three new U.S. constriction jobs went to Hispanic workers, the center said. Hispanic employment increased by almost 1 million from 2005 to 2006, with foreign-born Latinos who arrived since 2000 responsible for about 24 percent of the total U.S. employment increase. Undocumented immigrants accounted for about two-thirds of the ...

HUMAN TRAFFIC: The US has urged Mexico to do more to stop the Central and South Americans who hop freight trains north and sneak across its border AP, TULTITLAN, MEXICO Friday, Mar 02, 2007 Mexican President Felipe Calderon hopes to show visiting US President George W. Bush that he can accomplish the sweeping immigration reform Washington has failed to adopt -- not just cracking down on the southern border but also creating a guest-worker program and improving conditions for illegal Central American migrants. Proving that controlled, regulated migration is possible is the immediate political goal of Calderon, who is unveiling the ambitious reforms shortly before Bush's March 13 to ...
America Vs Mexico: Clashing Civilizations

Anyone understand why Mexicans fail miserably at creating a successful civilization? Ever wonder why millions of them invade the United States in search of a better life? Have you noticed that once they arrive, they create the same kind of 'society' in the United States? Unconsciously, they create the same conditions they left behind. You can take the boy out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the boy. For example, in Denver in December, illegal alien Navi dragged his girlfriend to death behind his car. Illegal alien Cruz shot his girlfriend dead in the back because she wouldn't reconcile with him. Illegal alien Ruizz ran over and killed Justin Goodman, but ...

Illegal Immigrants and the Housing Bubble

by Mark Thornton DIGG THIS If you watch Lou Dobbs’s show you would think that illegal immigration is the biggest problem facing America today – worse than government inflation and the Fed, standing armies, the military-industrial complex and Operation Iraqi Freedom, and government spying and suppression of our rights all combined. Immigration, illegal or otherwise, is not the problem per se. We are, after all, a nation of immigrants, and mostly of the poverty-stricken sort. Dobbs is the son of a failed Texas propane salesman, and was himself a former welfare worker and ambulance-chasing news reporter so it is a little surprising that he would not have more sympathy for these ...

The first sign of trouble for Cudahy City Council candidate Tony Mendoza was a pair of thong panties mailed to his wife, with a note telling her to watch her husband’s back. Then came the phone calls — and the death threats. A political novice in a tiny city of Mexican immigrants that hasn’t had an election since 1999, Mendoza had expected dirty tricks. But to his dismay, the caller, who spoke poor English and called every day for three days, said Mendoza would be killed if he did not leave Cudahy, a 1.2-square-mile city 10 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. After the third call, Mendoza pulled out of the March 6 race. “I have my family to think about,” he ...

Border Agent Prosecutor Under Fire Over Drug Informer Case Fred Lucas http://(CNSNews.com) - Critics of the federal prosecutor who brought the case against two U.S. Border Patrol agents for shooting a Mexican suspected drug smuggler are accusing him of hypocrisy. They point to his involvement in an earlier anti-narcotics operation in which a paid informer allegedly committed murder but was allowed to continue his undercover role. U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton has said that law enforcement officials must be held to the same legal standards as everyone else. At issue is a case that has been dubbed the House of Death, after a house in the Mexican border town of Juarez where the bodies of 13 ...

(02-27) 16:43 PST Santa Ana, Calif. (AP) -- A slow-burning leadership struggle within the Minuteman Project has flared into a full-blown court fight that threatens the 2-year-old anti-illegal immigration group's influence, if not its survival. Ousted Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist sued the group's board of directors last week for control of the organization after he was fired and accused of embezzling $400,000 in donations. Board members, who also fired the group's executive director, also allege Gilchrist used $13,000 of the organization's money for his own legal fees. And they recently filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service, saying Gilchrist illegally ...

The Next Added 100 Million Part 22 Air Pollution Nationwide By Frosty Wooldridge 2-23-7 Recent estimates show more than 100 million Americans breathe polluted air in major cities across America. Air pollution increases lung cancer, asthma and injects tiny particles coated with chemicals into human beings' bodies. Pregnant women breathe poison air into their fetuses' delicate and developing tissue. Many other health consequences cascade from air pollution. Every day in America (on average): 40,000 people miss school or work due to asthma. 30,000 people have an asthma attack. 5,000 people visit the emergency room due to asthma. 1,000 people are admitted to the hospital due to ...

Families in the United States lost 3,200 of their beloved children in the past five years to fight a bogus war in the Middle-East. We lost a similar number of our best and brightest in the 9/11 massacre. Both groups gave their lives as a direct result of our national penchant for imperialism. Last week, due to the war he started via outright fabrication – there were no WMDs -- President George W. Bush announced that he expects Americans to accept 7,000 Sunni Muslim Iraqi refugees into the United States. The Iraqis will be given homes, food stamps, medical care, schooling, cars and endless welfare -- paid by you, the American taxpayer. That's not all. Unconscionable Costs of War ...

Maribel Nava Alvarez, 22, said she was never told she needed to be a U.S. citizen or legal resident to win the car in a raffle sponsored by WLEY-FM. Alvarez also claims in the lawsuit that an attorney for the station's parent company, Spanish Broadcasting System, threatened to turn her in to U.S. immigration officials if she tried to pursue the issue in court.

Immigration Flood Unleashed by NAFTA's Disastrous Impact on the Mexican Economy

The recent ferment on immigration policy has been so narrow that it has excluded the real issue: family-sustaining wages for workers both north and south of the border. The role of the North American Free Trade Agreement and misnamed 'free trade' has been scarcely mentioned in the increasingly bitter debate over the fate of America's 11 to 12 million illegal aliens. NAFTA was sold to the American public as the magic formula that would improve the American economy at the same time it would raise up the impoverished Mexican economy. The time has come to look at the failures of this type of trade agreement before we engage in more and lower the economic prospects of all workers ...

February 14, 2007 WASHINGTON — The Bush administration plans to allow about 7,000 Iraqi refugees to settle in the United States over the next year, a huge expansion at a time of mounting international pressure to help those who have fled in the nearly four-year-old war. The United States has allowed only 463 Iraq refugees into the country since the war began, even though some 3.8 million have left. A senior State Department official described the expanded program on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement later Wednesday. The administration also plans to pledge $18 million for a worldwide resettlement and relief program. The United Nations has asked for $60 million ...

Bank of America Corp., the second-biggest U.S. bank and the fouth-biggest in Monmouth and Ocean counties, has begun selling credit cards to customers who lack a U.S. Social Security number or credit history, opening the business to undocumented immigrants. The bank expanded the program to 51 branches in Los Angeles County last week after testing it at five branches there, spokeswoman Betsy Weinberger said. The plan is utilizing "judgmental lending'' practices employed by MBNA Corp., the credit-card issuer the bank bought in January 2005. MBNA's analysis of creditworthiness goes beyond traditional credit scores and leaves lending decisions up to specialists. In Monmouth ...

Weeks after accusing President Bush of "shameful" behavior over the imprisonment of two Border Patrol agents who shot an unarmed suspected drug smuggler along the U.S.-Mexico border, a federal lawmaker turned up the heat further Wednesday, suggesting the president should be impeached if either of the two men is murdered in prison. Speaking after the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that agent Ignacio Ramos was assaulted by inmates in his Mississippi prison over the weekend, California Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher had a warning for the White House. "I tell you, Mr. President, if these men -- especially after this assault -- are murdered in prison, if one of them lose ...
