Ga. Governor Signs Strict Immigration Bill Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, center, is surrounded by Sen. Chip Rogers, from left, sponsor of SB529, Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act, Rep. Monday, April 17, 2006 ATLANTA - Georgia's governor signed a sweeping immigration bill Monday that supporters and critics say gives the state some of the toughest measures against illegal immigrants in the nation. "I want to make this clear: we are not, Georgia's government is not, and this bill is not, anti-immigrant," Gov. Sunny Perdue said at the signing. "We simply believe that everyone who lives in our state needs to abide by our laws." The law requires verification ...

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) -- A principal trying to prevent walkouts during immigration rallies inadvertently introduced a lockdown so strict that children weren't allowed to go to the bathroom, and instead had to use buckets in the classroom, an official said. Worthington Elementary School Principal Angie Marquez imposed the lockdown March 27 as nearly 40,000 students across Southern California left classes that morning to attend immigrants' rights demonstrations. The lockdown continued into the following morning. Marquez apparently misread the district handbook and ordered a lockdown designed for nuclear attacks. Tim Brown, the district's director of operations, confirmed some students ...

Powerful Economic Interests That Need Cheap Labour Are Stopping U.S. From Dealing With Problem of Illegals Apr. 17, 2006. 01:00 AM Two things about American immigration are different. One is that the United States is the only large developed country that has a long land border with an underdeveloped country. The other is that only the United States among developed countries possesses a politically powerful domestic lobby that actively wants a large, steady flow of unskilled immigrants, preferably illegal ones. Taken together, these two oddities explain why immigration in America is such an explosive topic, and why Congress is unable to pass any new law regulating the flow. The recent ...

Proposed laws provide the battleground in both countries, with the idea of a “guest worker” program fueling the fire as part of a broader immigration issue here, while a new labor law that would allow companies to easily fire employees during a two-year trial period is stoking the blaze in France. The furor over the ...

The ad campaign targeting the Nevada Democrat is funded by the Republican National Committee and will air in Las Vegas, Reno, Tucson and Phoenix, GOP officials said Thursday. The ads are part of the continued political fallout from the collapse of compromise legislation forged last week by Senate leaders. The deal was ...

In the Winter 2005/06 Edition of The National Interest, in an article titled “Mexico’s Wasted Chance,” Fredo Arias-King laments the failure of Mexican President Vicente Fox. Why did Fox fail? Why did he compromise his reforms? The key may be found in Fox’s appointment of Jorge Castaneda as Mexico’s foreign minister. This is the same Jorge Castaneda who assisted communists like Fidel Castro and Daniel Ortega in the 1980s. This is the same Jorge Castaneda who called for the destabilization of the U.S. economy through a debt moratorium, who also called for legal measures against Americans in Mexico. It is no wonder that Foreign Minister Castaneda abrogated ...
Legalizing Immigrants In U.S. May Hurt Mexican Economy

MEXICO CITY -- A proposal in the United States Congress to legalize millions of undocumented U.S. immigrants could hurt Mexico's economy. So say some Mexican economists, who say the legislation could slash the amount of money the immigrants send home to Mexico. They argue that Mexicans with permission to work in the United States will want to bring their families north to live with them. That would eliminate the main reason they send money home. That would hurt Mexican businesses that have come to depend on the money sent down from the United States. Miguel Cervantes Jimenez is an economist at Mexico's National Autonomous University. He said remittances from U.S. immigrants could drop by ...

Globalism: You Won't Like It! By Frosty Wooldridge 4-13-6 When you look at globalists like Senator Kerry, Condi Rice, Vice President Cheney, Senator Frist, President Bush and others in our nation's capitol, you're looking at men and women performing a frightening experiment on the United States of America. You're also looking at men and women who have failed to stand up for the U.S. Constitution. They've failed their oath of office. They contrived us into an un-winnable war; created a horrific national debt; opened our borders to unending illegal immigration; outsourced, insourced and offshored jobs stolen from our middle class-and finally, they abet lawlessness of 20 million illegal ...

On April 10, 2006, Teddy Chappaquidick Kennedy joined thousands of illegal aliens in Washington, DC and shouted into a microphone, "Report to deport? NO! Report to become citizens!" As soon as the words left his booze soaked lips, a translator repeated them in Spanish to this audience of law breakers who don't even speak the language of our land. Not to be outdone, America hater, Marxist Hillary Clinton, yelled into the microphone, "You are the faces of America." Of course, that would be the criminals in the audience who smuggled themselves across the border and the vicious M-13 gang members seen not too far from her soap box, adorned in their multitudes of tattoos. ...

RIVERSIDE – Riverside County sheriff's deputies will ferret out and help the U.S. government deport undocumented immigrants arrested on criminal charges, under a plan adopted Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors. The board, in a unanimous vote and with little opposition from the public, agreed to have the U.S. Department of Homeland Security train 10 deputies to enforce immigration laws. The four-week federal program will train deputies to identify and investigate criminal undocumented immigrants, and will cover such topics as interrogation, background checks and preparing affidavits for deportation, according to a report submitted to the board by Sheriff Bob Doyle. “We'll be ...

Posted: April 12, 2006 Recent images of seas of illegal aliens marching in cities across the U.S. are having a far greater negative than positive impact on the foreigners' cause, according to a new poll. A Zogby survey of nearly 8,000 people shows coast-to-coast protests against immigration proposals in Congress – particularly to make it a federal felony to be an illegal worker in the U.S. – have not persuaded a majority of likely American voters. Asked whether the protests have made likely voters more or less sympathetic toward undocumented workers, 61 percent said they're less likely to be sympathetic to the plight of illegals as a result of the protests, while only 32 ...

City Man Arrested After Mexican-Flag Burning By Brady McCombs Arizona Daily Star Tucson, Arizona | Published: 04.12.2006 A Tucson man was arrested Tuesday for his role in the burning of a Mexican flag as part of a counterprotest at a pro-immigration rally. At about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Tucson police cited Roy Warden, 58, on suspicion of assault, criminal damage and reckless burning, and then released him, according to Sgt. Decio Hopffer. Video footage shot Monday by police and the media showed Warden assaulting a TV cameraman and a photographer, Hopffer said. Because only one of the men pressed charges, there is only one assault charge. Warden faces the criminal-damage charge for harm ...

Hate crimes in Russia: protests or defense. Lately the number of hate crimes has been growing in Russia. The situation leads to tougher competition between the antifascist projects. By and large, since the beginning of last year the government has shown a rather political and “strained” approach to dealing with the tendency. These days the policy is beginning to take shape. The last two weeks brought about plenty of reasons to discuss a mounting problem of nationalism in Russia. Elkhan Mirzoyev, a TV producer from NTV station, was beaten up while riding in the Moscow metro on April 3. Three days later, on April 6, a group of teenagers shouting “ Russia is for Russians ...
Immigration Quotas vs. Individual Rights: The Moral And Practical Case For Open Immigration

Immigration Quotas vs. Individual Rights: The Moral And Practical Case For Open Immigration by Harry Binswanger (April 2, 2006) This is a defense of phasing-in open immigration into the United States. Entry into the U.S. should ultimately be free for any foreigner, with the exception of criminals, would-be terrorists, and those carrying infectious diseases. (And note: I am defending freedom of entry and residency, not the automatic granting of U.S. citizenship). An end to immigration quotas is demanded by the principle of individual rights. Every individual has rights as an individual, not as a member of this or that nation. One has rights not by virtue of being an American, but by ...

| April 11, 2006 Almost all of the state's poorest residents will have to show proof of US citizenship to continue getting medical care by July 1, under a little-noticed federal law that could endanger coverage for many, as Massachusetts is trying to expand access to healthcare. Born out of ongoing efforts in Washington to clamp down on illegal immigration, the new federal requirement compels anyone seeking Medicaid coverage to provide a birth certificate, a passport, or another form of identification in order to sign up for benefits or renew them. No such proof is required now. The requirement was tucked into the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which President Bush signed into law ...

During an unabashed sales trip to promote the trade deal on which he has staked his country's economic future, Salinas argued that ``migration to the United States will be drastically reduced with more free trade between the U.S., Mexico and Canada.''

Montgomery is the only Washington-area school system offering students credit for taking part in the event. Superintendent Jerry D.

But it did not sit well with some parents and activists who said education, not political advocacy, should be the schools' main focus. School system offices were flooded with angry phone calls ...

It hasn't delivered It was hailed as the antidote for illegal immigration: A bipartisan plan that would finally halt the flood of undocumented aliens across U.S. borders by eliminating the biggest lure-plentiful jobs. Yet now, after only 18 months, critics are calling the heralded Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 the biggest flop since Prohibition. That may be premature, but it's clear the law is floundering. In the first four months of ...
