Tue May 2, 12:30 PM ET Illegal immigrants and their supporters vowed to keep up the pressure on Congress for reforms after more than 1 million people stepped out of the shadows and poured into the streets in a nationwide show of economic clout. A day after rallies, boycotts and marches in Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Miami and elsewhere, the challenge for immigration advocates was to extend the momentum of Monday's "Day Without Immigrants" into a sustainable effort to get immigrants more involved in the political process. "We have far exceeded our expectations," said Mahonrry Hidalgo, chairman of the Immigration Committee of the Latino Leadership Alliance of New ...

National Anthem Sung In Spanish At First Bush Inaugural On Friday, President Bush blasted the idea of singing the Star Spangled Banner in Spanish. But Bush’s highly-scripted 2001 inaugural ceremony actually featured a rendition of the national anthem sung in Spanish by Jon Secada. From Cox News Service, 1/18/01: The opening ceremony reflected that sentiment. A racially diverse string of famous and once famous performers entertained Bush, soon-to-be First Lady Laura Bush, Vice President-elect Richard B. Cheney and his wife, Lynne, who watched on stage from a special viewing area. Pop star Jon Secada sang the national anthem in English and Spanish. Apparently, Secada singing the ...

Iraqis entered the Valley illegally Monday, May 01, 2006 Posted: 06:57 PM Three Iraqis slipped into the US over the weekend HARLINGEN – NEWSCHANNEL 5 is tracking information on three Iraqis who slipped into the Valley over the weekend.

It was billed as "A Day Without Immigrants." According to its propagandists, official and media, the purpose of the May Day walkout from schools and jobs and boycott of shops and stores was to show how much immigrants contribute and how they deserve appreciation and respect, and not to be treated like criminals. But if this was all it was about, there would have been no need to go on strike. Americans have always welcomed immigrants. They are better treated here than anywhere on earth. While most Americans believe we now need a timeout to assimilate the 36 million here and their children – like the moratorium we had in the Roosevelt-Truman-Eisenhower-Kennedy years – no ...

Thousands March on U.S. Embassy, Chant Gringos Out of Mexico! Hundreds of police in riot gear guarded the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City Monday as thousands of protestors marched on the symbol of American power. "Gringos out of Mexico," chanted the crowd of transportation workers that hoisted signs, balloons and included an effigy of America defecating on Mexican President Vicente Fox and another of a nude George Bush. The marchers also held a minute of silence for would-be undocumented immigrants who died while sneaking into the United States, and then broke into the Mexican national anthem. Despite the sometimes heated emotions, the marchers were peaceful. It was the first of ...
Old War Haunts New Debate Between Mexico, U.S.; Loss of Territory in 1848 Changed Mexico's Destiny

MEXICO CITY - More than 1 million migrants flood into the United States each year across a border cutting straight through what once was Mexican territory, a touch of history that haunts the immigration debate 158 years after the land changed hands. The territory north of today's 1,952-mile border half of Mexico at the time was ripped away in 1848 after a U.S. invasion that ended with the capture of "the halls of Montezuma," Mexico City itself. Ulysses S. Grant, who took part, called the invasion "the most unjust war ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation." The loss changed Mexico's destiny and still tears at the country's heart.

In Houston and around the country, immigrants and their supporters on Monday plan to stage a national work stoppage and spending boycott aimed at showing off their economic muscle. Their aim is to get Congress to legalize more than 11 million undocumented immigrants and back off proposals to tighten immigration laws. But Monday's "Day ...

46 minutes ago Now that immigrants have grabbed the nation's attention, what next? Monday has been set aside for immigrants to boycott work, school and shopping to show how much they matter to their communities. But with some growing tired of street protests, and others afraid they'll be deported or fired for walking out, people are planning to support the effort in myriad ways. Some will work but buy nothing on Monday. Others will protest at lunch breaks or at rallies after work. There will be church services, candlelight vigils, picnics and human chains. The range of activities shows both how powerful the immigrants' rights movement has become in a matter of weeks, and that ...

Raid Rumors Spark Fear Among Immigrants By LAURA WIDES-MUNOZ Associated Press Writer April 28, 2006, 11:59 PM EDT MIAMI -- Rumors of immigration roundups have prompted thousands of illegal immigrants to stay home this week and are making some afraid to participate in a national immigration protest planned for Monday. Though federal immigration officials said they were unfounded, rumors of random sweeps were rampant from coast to coast Friday, prompting thousands of immigrants to stay home from work, take their children out of school and avoid church. The absences caused the rumors to build, as some thought their missing friends and co-workers had been arrested. Construction and ...
Business wary of guest-worker bills

Texas employers who rely on immigrant labor are wary of some of the proposals being debated in Washington to deal with the runaway expansion of the underground work force, now crucial to a number of industries. Half of the bills don't address their greatest concern: how to keep enough employees on the job while their legal status is settled. Three of the six bills would require foreign workers to return to their homelands before applying for authorization to work in the U.S., according to a review by the Migration Policy Institute. Two proposals would bar them for a decade if they don't leave, and the other would exclude them three years. "We would not like to see any plan that tells ...
Bush pans Spanish "Star-Spangled Banner" ("The Illegal Alien Anthem")

Fri Apr 28, 2006 12:55 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - The "Star-Spangled Banner" debuted on Friday with new Latin beat and Spanish lyrics but it did not win a glowing review from President George W. Bush, who said the cherished national anthem should be sung in English. Latin American artists recorded "Nuestro Himno" (Our Anthem) to stir immigrants to turn out for a national boycott and marches for rights across the country on May 1. Instead they stirred up the ire of those who see it as further polarizing Americans. One Internet columnist dubbed it "The Illegal Alien Anthem." Bush told reporters at a White House Rose Garden news conference the anthem would ...

Monday, May 1, has been dubbed "A Day Without Mexicans" by those who seek to show the rest of us just how essential those wonderfully "productive and law-abiding guest workers" from south of the border have become to America. Predictably, I have a different take on the whole affair. First of all, my version is called "A Day Without Meskins," the way it properly should be pronounced. Sloppy. Slurred. Offensive. Now ...

However, even if all goes as expected, authorities said Thursday that they anticipate traffic gridlock in the Loop, crowded train stations and street closings that could change from moment to moment. Crowd sizes are difficult to predict but because of extra publicity and a venue change from Federal Plaza to the roomier Grant Park the event may be larger than one held about seven weeks ago. ...

Rapper arrested at Heathrow By Bo Wilson and Matheus Sanchez, Evening Standard 27 April 2006 A mini-riot erupted at Heathrow airport after rapper Snoop Dogg and a 30-strong entourage clashed with police in a departure lounge. The men - mostly minders - apparently turned violent after being refused entry to a first-class lounge, smashing up a duty free shop, throwing bottles and attacking officers. It took riot police over an hour to arrest the "20-stone men", who were then led out in handcuffs, with one shouting: "This is how it goes down in LA." Witnesses believe the group, who were travelling from the US to South Africa, were refused entry to the British Airways ...
