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 ...

US rule demands proof of citizenship for healthcare Law could hurt the state's poorest

| 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 ...

Mexican President Salinas says NAFTA would slow illegal immigration Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service; 9/21/1993; Schrader, Esther SAN FRANCISCO _ Acknowledging that the fate of the free trade pact between Mexico and its northern neighbors is imperiled, Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari argued here Monday that approving the treaty would slow illegal immigration into California. 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.'' Speaking to a conference of international ...

Md. students to get service credits for immigration rally By The Associated Press 04.10.06 WASHINGTON — Montgomery County high school students who attend today's immigration rights protest on the National Mall will receive credit toward Maryland's community-service graduation requirement. Montgomery is the only Washington-area school system offering students credit for taking part in the event. Superintendent Jerry D. Weast said the decision was consistent with the system's previous policy. 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 ...

p>The unstoppable surge of illegal aliens. (immigration-reform bill fails) U.S. News & World Report; 6/6/1988; Whitman, David The immigration-reform bill was supposed to seal the border by denying jobs to undocumented workers. 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 ...

Kennedy urges: 'Never give up' By EVAN LEHMANN, Sun Washington Bureau WASHINGTON -- Addressing thousands of immigrants gathered on the National Mall yesterday, Sen. Edward Kennedy vowed to continue fighting for their citizenship, saying he would "never give up." The surging crowd, consuming a half-mile of the Mall and waving a sea of American flags, chanted: "Kennedy! Kennedy! Kennedy!" "Today we stand together as brothers and sisters to shape America's destiny," the Massachusetts Democrat told the crowd, a translator repeating him in Spanish. "It's time for Americans to lift their voices now in pride for their immigrant past, and in pride for their ...

Americans back chance at status, poll shows By JONATHAN WEISMAN Washington Post WASHINGTON - A new Washington Post-ABC News poll found 63 percent of those surveyed backed letting immigrants who have lived in the country a certain number of years apply for legal status and eventually become permanent citizens. In contrast, only 14 percent favored a plan to let illegal immigrants stay and work for a limited number of years before having to return to their home countries — an alternative pushed by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Jon Kyl, R-Ariz. Another 20 percent said illegal immigrants should be declared felons and offered no temporary work program, a stand that corresponds with the ...

FORGET ABOUT CIVIL WAR IN IRAQ, ONE IS COMING TO AMERICA NewsWithViews By Pastor Chuck Baldwin April 11, 2006 While American troops are hunkered down in "safe zones" in Iraq trying to stay out of an escalating civil war, our government seems oblivious to a growing threat of civil war right here in the United States. As anyone can see, millions of illegal aliens living here are becoming more vocal, more demonstrative, more belligerent, and more violence-prone by the day. Unless our government takes deliberate and significant action immediately, America could be in for serious civil unrest real soon. It is absolutely incredible that our government would tolerate people who are ...

If ever there was a group of people more patient, more willing to turn the other cheek, more forgiving and tolerant – I just don't know who it would be. Every day now, it seems, hundreds of thousands of ungrateful human parasites rally in American cities condemning their host country's lack of hospitality. Think about this. Somewhere around 20 million foreigners have entered this country illegally and stayed here – taking advantage of America's health-care system, educational system, welfare system, taxing its criminal justice system and competing for jobs with those at ...

WASHINGTON — Legal and illegal, carrying signs in English and Spanish, hundreds of thousands of immigrants and their supporters took to the streets Monday in the nation's capital and in dozens of cities around the country, spreading a sea of white T-shirts and American flags across city parks and TV screens in an effort to persuade lawmakers to grant foreign-born workers more rights.

Mr. President: If Minutemen Are Vigilantes, What Do You Call 500,000 Illegal Aliens Demanding Rights? By: Citizen Conservative: on Apr 10, 2006 When the Minutemen set up shop at the Arizona border last year to call attention to the illegal alien loophole in US Homeland Security, President Bush foolishly chided these brave patriots by calling them vigilantes. Although chagrined at being deserted by the man who has the constitutional responsibility and authority to defend our borders, the Minutemen dug in their heels and persisted. And persisted. Their Yankee determination to do the right thing was rewarded when President Bush finally sent additional border patrol agents to Arizona. Even ...

Last month, hundreds of thousands of immigrants marched to protest Rep. James F. Sensenbrenner’s, R-Wis., punitive immigration bill. Five hundred thousand marched in Los Angeles, 100,000 in Chicago, and 50,000 in Denver. Similar numbers are expected today . The protests have touched many more than even those numbers imply. Millions of people—at kitchen tables, in bars, at the bowling alley—are now debating the rights of immigrants, particularly Latinos, to assert themselves as Americans while holding to their ...

Russian Jewish leaders criticized a lawmaker’s motion to check how one of Russia’s chief rabbis received Russian citizenship. The development concerns Berel Lazar, chief Lubavitch emissary in the former Soviet Union and head of the Chabad-led Federation of Jewish Communities, the region’s largest Jewish group. Last Friday, the Duma, Russia’s lower house of Parliament, authorized a committee to file an inquiry with the authorities to clarify why Lazar, an Italian-born U.S. citizen, was made a Russian citizen without undergoing required naturalization procedures. The motion was proposed by Boris Vinogradov, a member of the nationalist Motherland Party. On Monday, the ...
Gasoline Nears $3 in U.S., Hurting Bush, GM, Helping Refiners

April 10 (Bloomberg) -- Gasoline is climbing toward the U.S. record of $3.07 a gallon, and the damage is piling up for President George W. Bush and General Motors Corp. Higher fuel prices may deepen losses for makers of gas- guzzling sport utility vehicles and trim sales for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer. Oil refiners such as Tesoro Corp. and Japanese makers of higher-mileage hybrid cars are likely to benefit. Hurricane Katrina in August pushed the U.S. average gasoline price above $3 for the first time. Since then, the percentage of Americans who don't like Bush's energy policies has jumped to 58 percent, according to a Newsweek poll last month. Now prices at the ...

AFP Editorial: Immigration Consternation For the past several weeks, the mainstream media has made much ado about pro-immigration rallies that have been popping up around the country. But despite the fact that a clear majority of Americans believe that our porous borders and illegal immigration are serious problems, which should be addressed, lawmakers have been doing their best to avoid doing what’s best for the country. A number of prominent legislators have been insisting that new measures dealing with our borders include amnesty for those who are here illegally. They have also argued against punishing companies that skirt U.S. law by offering jobs to illegal aliens. Meanwhile, ...
A Warning for Americans: A Message from a South African [Full Thread]

People used to say that South Africa was 20 years behind the rest of the Western world. Television, for example, came late to South Africa (but so did pornography and the gay* rights movement). Today, however, South Africa may be the grim model of the future Western world, for events in America reveals trends chillingly similar to those that destroyed our country. America's structures are Western. Your Congress, your lobbying groups, your free speech, and the way ordinary Americans either get involved or ignore politics are peculiarly Western, not the way most of the world operates. But the fact that only about a third of Americans deem it important to vote is horrifying in light of how ...

Dual citizenship explodes in U.S. SPECIAL REPORT THE WASHINGTON TIMES By August Gribbin November 15, 1999 Martin Ford is a third generation Irish-American. But he wants to be a first generation Irishman -- a dual citizen. Patricia Campos, a first generation Salvadoran-American, has dual citizenship. And she's quite content with that. Trouble is, a lot of others aren't. And therein lies an ongoing dispute. Like thousands in the 40 million-strong Irish-American community, Mr. Ford is asking Ireland to make him a naturalized citizen so he'll simultaneously be Irish and American. Yet the trend Mr. Ford is following and the dual citizenship of Americans like Miss Compos trouble many of ...
