Reform bill to double immigration

The immigration reform bill that the Senate takes up today would more than double the flow of legal immigration into the United States each year and dramatically lower the skill level of those immigrants. The number of extended family members that U.S. citizens or legal residents can bring into this country would double. More dramatically, the number of workers and their immediate families could increase sevenfold if there are enough U.S. employers looking for cheap foreign labor. Another provision would grant humanitarian visas to any woman or orphaned child anywhere in the world "at risk of harm" because of age or sex. The little-noticed provisions are part of legislation ...

BUSH: WE CAN'T BOOT 11M ILLEGALS TV SPEECH TO PITCH GUEST-WORKER PLAN By GEOFF EARLE Post Correspondent May 15, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - In his live, nationally televised address tonight, President Bush will tell Americans that it's impossible to deport the estimated 11 million illegal aliens living here. "We must reject amnesty, but recognize that it is not realistic to round up millions of people and send them home," said White House spokeswoman Maria Tamburri in a preview of Bush's speech. She said Bush plans to spell out his vision for sealing the border, enforcing the law, and "creating a rational system for workers to come into our country and to do jobs Americans ...
Multiculturalism And Alligators

It is possible to derive an ashen satisfaction from watching really stupid people dancing on a tight rope over a den of alligators. At each resounding dental snap one yells “Yeeeeeeeee-ha! Told you so!” and reaches for another beer. It makes a better Saturday night than a six pack and a bug zapper. From the Washington Post: “Nearly half of the nation's children under 5 are racial or ethnic minorities, and the percentage is increasing mainly because the Hispanic population is growing so rapidly, according to a census report released today.” Now in newspaper parlance, “minorities” means “permanently underperforming and inassimilable minorities,” ...

A teenage in the United States illegally is now charged with murdering a Nashville woman and her daughter. Jose Sosa, 16, was arrested and charged on Thursday with the murders of his former neighbors, Lori and Adrian Rountree. They were brutally stabbed to death in their Antioch home in April 2006. Police say they found a finger print of Sosa at the crime scene that matched one the border patrol had on file of him from last year. They say he had been caught coming into the United States illegally, detained and fingerprinted and then later deported. However, he apparently re-entered the country at a later time. Sosa is currently being held in the Juvenile Detention Center.

Hagel on Bush Immigration Plan: ‘That’s Not The Role of Our National Guard’ « Appearing on ABC’s This Week, Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) sharply criticized President Bush’s proposal, expected to be announced Monday, of sending thousands of National Guard troops to police the southern U.S. border. Hagel said flatly, “that’s not the role of our national guard.” He added that “we’ve got National Guard members in their second, third and fourth tours in Iraq” and “stretched our military as thin as we have ever seen in modern times.” Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) has also spoken out against the plan. Full transcript: ...

Immigration's New Lawless America By Frosty Wooldridge 5-11-6 Is America a lawless nation? Has it displaced its constitutional guarantees? Has it become a renegade nation? Can we survive the growing anarchy within our country? Note - "We have to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if worse comes to the worst, we have got to kill him." And - "You gringos have spilled enough of our blood, now it's your turn to bleed, you [expletive] sub-human beasts." The above two racist hate quotes are by University of Texas Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez in a public speech. Gutierrez is also the founder of 'La Raza' which is exclusively for the Hispanic race.

What Would We Do If All The Illegal Immigrants Left? Donna Poisl May 13, 2006 There are several proposals for immigration reform being discussed now. Each one says it will solve the problem of so many illegal immigrants coming to and staying in this country. Some are offering amnesty, others guest worker cards, others temporary cards. Some people are talking about rounding them up and sending them all "back to where ever they came from". How would we do that? First, how would we find all of them? If we were able to find them, who would do the processing and paperwork to organize the deportation? Would we hire planes and buses and buy them tickets to go home? Where would we ...
The War On Immigration Will Fail

The War On Immigration Will Fail by Wade A. Mitchell [Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006] Let's look at the problem of immigration from another angle. There exists a market demand for low-skilled cheap labor. Part of this demand is being met by outsourcing of jobs overseas. The rest is met by vast numbers of immigrants coming to this country. Illegal immigration is the market supplying a demand. A demand is being met and satisfied. When viewed this way, how is this a problem? This triumph of the market is not in itself a problem. This can only be viewed as a problem when the illegal immigrants expect goods and services from the state that existing residents must pay for. These come in ...
Immigration Bullshit vs Reality

May 12, 2006 Immigration Bullshit vs Reality So I posted a little rant about "immigration" and some people who read it freaked out. What I pointed out in my rant was : 1. There is no such thing as an "illegal immigrant", and borders are not legitimate. 2. There is no such thing as "stealing a job". 3. People who argue for "immigration" are just as racist as those who argue against it, and everyone should just shut the hell up. If you think these three basic premises make me an extremist, then you have a very sad perspective on the world. To go through these again... 1. The construct of "illegal immigrant" is predicated on the ...

There’s No Such Thing As an "Illegal Alien" Written by Marc Stevens There’s an incredible amount of energy expended on the subject of so-called "illegal aliens." These are men, women and children who allegedly are not in the "country" "legally." People who think they’re "citizens" believe physical force may be used against "illegal aliens" to cage them and send them back to their "country." This use of physical violence is called "deportation." One of the biggest complaints about these so-called "illegals" is how much they cost "citizens" and "taxpayers" in welfare ...

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is looking at ways the military can help provide more security along the U.S. southern border, defense officials said Thursday, once again drawing the nation's armed forces into a politically sensitive domestic role. On Capitol Hill on Thursday, the House voted 252-171 to allow Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to assign military personnel under certain circumstances to help the Homeland Security Department perform border security. The House added the provision to a larger military measure. Paul McHale, the assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense, asked officials this week to come up with options for the use of military resources and troops ...

A federal judge in Chicago has found that a suburban car wash tried to intimidate its mostly Hispanic employees by requiring verification of their immigration status after three workers complained about alleged sexual harassment. U.S. District Judge Ronald Guzman issued a protective order May 5 barring Glenview Car Wash from seeking further information about employees' immigration status until a pending harassment suit concludes. The class-action suit, filed on behalf of the car wash's male employees in September by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is based on charges filed with that agency by Federico Antimo, Elmer Bethancourt and Diego Perez. The suit alleges the trio ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush will push for a broad overhaul of U.S. immigration laws in a prime-time address on Monday that comes after weeks of nationwide rallies and a revived Senate effort to pass a bill. The White House announced the Oval office address as a Defense Department official said the Pentagon was considering options for possibly sending troops or equipment to help with security on the U.S.-Mexican border. Bush backs a guest-worker program that would let immigrants work temporarily in the United States, which has cost him support among some conservatives. As part of what he calls a comprehensive approach to immigration, he is also pushing measures to ...

Immigration Billboards Going Up In North Texas Stephanie Lucero Reporting (CBS 11 News) DALLAS Conservatives are firing back at those who support amnesty and a guest worker program for illegal immigrants. Their latest weapon is a billboard located on Stemmons Freeway in Dallas. If you work near downtown Dallas it'll be hard to miss one billboard during your commute. Dallas is the first city to get one, but there are plans to put these signs up from California to Florida. "Stop the Invasion" is a reference to the massive influx of immigrants who enter the United States illegally. “We must stop the invasion. We cannot have amnesty because amnesty is in essence a ...

Whatever I heard did not provide enough information to know which side of the bread McDonalds butters. Below is the response I received from someone named Nancy from the Customer Response Center, and below that is the email I sent (I just copied her whole email which included my email).

The Department of Homeland Security is working overtime to quell citizen outrage over the Border Patrol/Mexico/Minutemen story. The contradictory spin doctors are not doing a very good job. I'll have more in a moment. But now is a crucial time to step back and look at this disturbing episode in a larger, informed context-- that is, as part of the longstanding battle between DHS management and rank-and-file employees over strict, tough, and unapologetic immigration enforcement. Supervisors in Washington and in major Border Patrol sectors are cowed by ethnic activists, business lobbyists, and meddling Mexican consulates. Field agents are demoralized by top-down efforts--from the White House ...
