House Pushes Back On Immigration BillWASHINGTON, D.C., May 26, 2006(AP) The House author of a border security bill that triggered massive street protests stood firm Friday against less stringent immigration legislation passed by the Senate and predicted tough negotiations on compromise legislation. The Senate passed its sweeping bill 62-36 Thursday after two weeks of debate and difficult votes that tested the strength of a coalition of bipartisan senators who supported the opportunity for U.S. citizenship that their bill would give most of the estimated 11 million to 12 million people who are in this country illegally. "This will set up a very difficult House-Senate conference ...

White Supremacists Ratchet Up Anti-Hispanic Action As U.S. Immigration Debate Rages New York, NY, May 24, 2006 … As the national debate over immigration continues to hold the national spotlight, neo-Nazis and white supremacists have ratcheted up their anti-Hispanic action, using everything from Internet video games to street demonstrations and other confrontational tactics in an effort to exploit the debate as a means to spread hate. Their goal is to draw new attention to their hateful notions about minorities and hopes for making America a nation for "Whites only." The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which monitors and reports on the activities of far-right extremists, has ...

Police search for rape suspect Illegal immigrant accused of impregnating 10-year-old girl By JAMES OSBORNE The Monitor PHARR - Police said they are searching for a 21-year-old illegal immigrant accused of raping a 10-year-old family member and leaving her pregnant. Authorities were alerted to the case by a local doctor, who discovered the girl's pregnancy during a routine medical exam last Friday, Pharr police Lt. Guadalupe Salinas said. The girl was subsequently taken to the Children's Advocacy Center in Edinburg where she told staff that her 21-year-old relative, Pedro Guzman Muñoz, had raped her, police said. It is the Valley Morning Star's policy to not identify victims of ...
House GOP Expected To Yield On Immigration Legislation

May 26, 2006 The House is the only obstacle that stands between President Bush and a comprehensive immigration bill, and the White House yesterday predicted that the chamber's Republicans will give in. White House press secretary Tony Snow said House Republicans will want to pass border security badly enough to back down from the fight against what many consider amnesty for illegal aliens, knowing there is a "heavier political price for failing to act, than for acting." "If you are a Republican member of Congress and you're concerned about illegal immigration, do you really want to say to your constituents: You know, I'm going to wait a couple of years before I take up the ...
Bloomberg Wants National DNA Database

Opponents of any kind of national ID card will be aghast at New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg's idea for a national DNA or fingerprint database designed to track the citizenship of all workers. Bloomberg defended his idea: "We already have a unique identification card for everybody that works in this country," reports the New York Sun. "It's called your Social Security card, so this is not a civil liberties issue. In the day and age when everybody's got a PC on their desk with Photoshop that can replicate anything, it's become a joke. You can go buy a green card or a Social Security card for 50 bucks. I'm told it's so competitive sometimes you can get two for the price of ...

Sex for visa boss illegal By SIMON HUGHES Chief Investigative Reporter A SUSPENDED immigration chief facing a sex-for-visas probe was an illegal immigrant himself, The Sun can reveal. James Dawute, 53, is believed to have arrived from Ghana as a visitor, then stayed on unlawfully when his visa expired. Last night a senior Whitehall source admitted: “He should have been booted out.” A second inquiry to establish how Dawute gained the right to remain in Britain is also now underway. Disclosures about his background add to the scandals already plaguing the Home Office’s beleaguered Immigration and Nationality Directorate. The crisis has already cost Immigration Minister ...

Remember back to what the immigration issue was about when it began to concern Conservatives. It had nothing to do with racism, guest worker programs, fences along the border, or questions of amnesty. It was about the United States government refusing to enforce the law. We thought it was wrong for people, who came into the country illegally, to be given free college tuition, released back into the general population after they committed a crime, rather than being immediately deported, issued drivers’ licenses, and free medical care. Not because we are cruel and heartless people who do not care about the suffering of others, but because our government had decided to enforce the laws ...

WASHINGTON, May 25 — The negotiations between the White House and Congress that will follow the Senate's passage on Thursday of an immigration bill could decide not just how the nation confronts illegal immigration but also what strain of conservatism the Republican Party carries into the midterm elections and beyond. Will it be the compassionate brand Mr. Bush considers crucial to the party's future, in this case by signaling support for a provision in the Senate bill that would give most illegal immigrants an opportunity to become legal? Or will it be the more doctrinaire variety embraced by much of Mr. Bush's party in the House, one that shuns anything that smacks of amnesty for ...

THE US Senate voted for a groundbreaking legalisation programme for America’s estimated 12 million illegal immigrants last night. The bill, which would introduce the biggest shakeup in US immigration policy in 20 years, allows for a six-year programme before illegal immigrants can apply for citizenship. The bill would also allow an additional 200,000 guest workers into the US each year. Both Senate leaders and the White House welcomed the passing of the bill, saying it gave a historical opportunity for America to correct its outdated immigration laws. However, Senate leaders must try to match their bill with an anti-illegal immigration bill passed by the House of ...

After watching the Senate for the past several days I've come to the conclusion that John McCain has made a backroom deal with Bush. In return for his passionate support for amnesty, Cheney will step down after the mid-terms and McCain will replace him as V.P. This would allow him to be assured a place on the ticket. I see the ticket as follows. McCain/gonzales Clinton/menendez I think I'm gonna vote for Leroy Jones, a garbage collector in south Mississippi, then set back and watch how these ass kissing senators start babbling how they've known him for years, what a great president he'll make what great ideas he has and about the great leader he's gonna be. What a bunch of nitwits.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Legislation to secure U.S. borders and offer millions of illegal immigrants access to the American dream cleared the Senate on Thursday, a rare election-year reach across party lines and a triumph for President Bush. The 62-36 vote cleared the way for arduous summertime compromise talks with the House on its version that focuses on border enforcement - with no guarantee of success. "Why not say to those undocumented workers who are working the jobs that the rest of us refuse, come out from the shadows," said Arizona Republican John McCain, a key architect of the bill. The legislation includes money to better secure the borders, provide a new guest worker ...

The U.S. Border Patrol increased at a faster rate and apprehended more illegal aliens per year under President Clinton than under President Bush, according to statistics from a new, unpublished congressional research briefing report. Mr. Bush trails his predecessor on a series of measures of border security, says the briefing from the Congressional Research Service to the House Judiciary Committee, which was based on Department of Homeland Security data. Mr. Clinton increased the number of Border Patrol agents and pilots by 126 percent over his eight-year term, or an average of 642 per year, while Mr. Bush has averaged 411 new agents per year through 2005, for a total increase of 22.3 ...

Fragile Senate Coalition Set To Pass Bill on Immigration By Charles Babington Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, May 25, 2006; A03 The Senate moved to the verge of passing landmark immigration legislation yesterday, scheduling a final vote for today on a bill that would tighten the borders while allowing millions of illegal immigrants to stay in the country and permitting new guest workers to come and go. But the very mixture of get-tough and be-kind measures that have made Senate approval possible could prove the biggest obstacle to reaching an accord with the House, where conservatives are determined to secure the borders before tackling other matters. Senate leaders said their ...

"The magnitude of changes that are entailed in this bill -- and are largely unknown -- rival the impact of the creation of Social Security or the creation of the Medicare program," said Robert Rector, senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation who conducted the study. Although the ...

(05-24) 20:29 PDT ATLANTA (AP) -- Former president Carter, a Democrat and frequent critic of President Bush, sees eye-to-eye with him on immigration. Carter on Wednesday called the Republican president's commitment to immigration reform "quite admirable," saying he agrees with Bush's support of a system that would eventually grant citizenship to some illegals. The Senate is set to vote as early as Thursday on a bill that calls for tougher border security as well as an eventual chance at citizenship for millions of men and women in the country illegally. The law should secure the nation's borders while "at the same time treating those who are here with respect and ...

Fridge Fills Up In Arizona Desert Season of Death Tue May 23, 2006 3:36pm ET170 By Frank Jack Daniel TUCSON, Arizona (Reuters) - So many illegal immigrants die of desert heat on the U.S.-Mexico border that an Arizona morgue has had to buy a refrigerated trailer to store its bodies, and it is building room for more. As temperatures begin to soar toward 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius), Bruce Parks, the head of the medical examiner's office in Tucson, worries that tighter security on the border may mean a gruesome toll this summer. The U.S. Senate on Monday backed plans by President Bush to send up to 6,000 National Guard troops to the border, which illegal immigrants say will force ...

The End of the Republic By Robert Locke Based upon the Senate vote to give amnesty to illegal aliens, I wish to formally and explicitly predict that if this legislation stands, this marks the moment at which the United States is finished as a nation. I am neither kidding nor exaggerating. This is it. The game is over. The USA will not survive as a country; it will go the way of the USSR, the only other nation commonly refered to as an "experiment." There will be no tricentennial. A hundred years from now, it will not appear on maps. A thousand years from now, its existence will only be known to history buffs and graduate students. Like ancient Athens, some will probably ...

PENCE UNVEILS NO AMNESTY IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence delivered the following speech entitled "Renewing the American Dream: The Real Rational Middle Ground on Immigration Reform" at the Heritage Foundation this afternoon. Of note: "Therefore, the solution is to setup a system that will encourage illegal aliens to self-deport and come back legally as guest workers. This may sound outside of the box, and it is. It may sound far-fetched and unrealistic, but it isn’t. It is based on sound, proven conservative principles. It places reliance on American enterprise and puts government back into its traditional role of protecting its ...
North American Union to Replace USA?

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy. Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada. President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much ...

President's Immigration Speech Lacks Credibility by Phyllis SchlaflyPosted May 22, 2006 If President George W.

Now, after five years of doing nothing to protect our borders, he is not credible.The problems he eloquently expressed didn't just emerge this year. They existed when he took office and throughout the last five years when he did nothing to correct them.These problems include:The pitiful number Border Patrol agents.The millions of illegal immigrants smuggled into the United States across the desert or in crowded 18-wheelers. The dangerous policy called ...

Among those who will be cleared of past crimes under the Senate's proposed immigration-reform bill would be the businesses that have employed the estimated 10 million illegal aliens eligible for citizenship and that provided the very "magnet" that drew them here in the first place. Buried in the more than 600 pages of legislation is a section titled "Employer Protections," which states: "Employers of aliens applying for adjustment of status under this section shall not be subject to civil and criminal tax liability relating directly to the employment of such alien." Supporters of the legislation insist that such provisions do not amount to ...
