Statehouses Take Up Immigration Legislation

An avalanche of immigration proposals that would cut services to undocumented workers are under consideration from the South to New England, but some of the most significant recent steps taken by state governments actually help illegal immigrants. So far this year, only one major crackdown has passed a state legislature: Georgia lawmakers last week approved what supporters claim would be the nation's toughest anti-immigrant law, limiting state benefits such as non-emergency medical care and unemployment checks to those in the country legally. But recent actions, by law, executive order or court decision, have extended benefits to illegal immigrants in Illinois, New York and Washington ...
Mexican illegals vs. American voters

It is lucky America has more than two centuries of mostly calm experience with self-government. We are going to need to fall back on that invaluable patrimony if the immigration debate continues as it has started this season. The Senate is attempting to legislate into the teeth of the will of the American public. The Senate Judiciary Committeemen — and probably a majority of the Senate — are convinced that they know that the American people don't know what is best for them. National polling data could not be more emphatic — and has been so for decades. Gallup Poll (March 27) finds 80 percent of the public wants the federal government to get tougher on illegal immigration. ...

Do Reconquistas Already Run Federal Immigration Bureaucracy?

An estimated 500,000 reconquistas took to the streets in Los Angeles over the past weekend to demand illegal alien amnesty. There were over 30,000 people in Denver, and more in other American cities….cities that are currently American, that is. But the fantasy world inhabited by the federal immigration bureaucracy—which would be charged with enforcing any "guest worker" amnesty scam—still knows no limits. Through its Office of Communications [OoC], DHS’ U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [CIS] division has just (March 26) chosen to alert its employees in its Daily News e-mail broadcast that a "wave of anti-immigration sentiment is ...
A Democrat Says Supporting Amnesty Spells D-e-f-e-a-t For His Party In 2006, 2008

Ok, fellow Democrats, we are on the high road to election losses this year and in 2008—even though Bush is the most incompetent and dangerous President ever to serve in that office. Why? Because it now appears our elected Democratic representatives in the US Senate and House are going to authorize another massive amnesty–some 12 million illegal aliens now living here will get work permits–against the overwhelming wishes of American citizens. In doing so, as Jack Martin, Director of Special Projects at the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), puts it in an email: "The message sent abroad [is] that the U.S. will condone and accommodate illegal ...

Guests or gate-crashers Part II

Bogus arguments are a tip-off that you wouldn't buy the real reasons for what someone is doing. Phony arguments and phony words are the norm in discussions of immigration policy. It starts with a refusal to call illegal aliens "illegal aliens" and ends with asking for "guest worker" status for people who are not guests but gate crashers. As for the substantive arguments, they are as phony as the verbal evasions. What about all those illegal workers that we "need"? Many of the illegals are working in agriculture, producing crops that have been in chronic surplus for decades. These surplus crops are costing the American taxpayers billions of dollars in ...

House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine. Since Monday's Judiciary vote, the Senate appears headed toward approving immigration legislation that strengthens border security some while creating a new guest-worker program and ...

The nation's most prominent opponent of current immigration policy began his day yesterday on the "Today" show on NBC, debating a Hispanic defender of illegal immigrants. He moved on to "American Morning" on CNN to denounce a bill passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday as "an amnesty program." By nightfall he was on a plane headed to Mexico, where he intended to assess critically the planned discussions on the issue between President Bush and President Vicente Fox of Mexico. This central figure in the increasingly fractious debate over future immigration policy was not a senator or congressman, nor even a lobbyist on either side of the issue. It ...

The first one is the utterly disastrous and failed Iraqi campaign and the second is the monumental flood of illegal and totally uncontrolled immigration into the United States. The information on Iraq is easily found and growing but the immigration scandal is not as public. As I have a number of relatives in Arizona, some of whom are state officials, I have decided to take this border state as a microcosm of the growing disaster.

WASHINGTON -- A quarter-century ago, in 1981, during a journalistic visit to parts of the American/Mexican border, I found myself talking with veteran border control official Robert Mitton at the San Ysidro "crossing" near San Diego. His revealing words came back to me dramatically this week, as immigration passions are unleashed across the country. "I remember 25 years ago," he reminisced with me then. "I would find a group of Mexicans marching through the desert toward the border. They would be carrying smoked carp in one pocket and a tequila bottle filled with water in the other. Violence was so repugnant to these 'rancheros' that, if somebody got into a fight, ...

(03-28) 08:38 PST LOS ANGELES, (AP) -- A majority of immigrants believe anti-immigration sentiment is growing in this country and are alarmed by the tone of the debate over reform, according to a new poll released Tuesday. Just under one-third of those surveyed, all of whom described themselves as legal immigrants, said Congress and President Bush are doing a good job on the issue. The findings come as the U.S. Senate considers immigration reform proposals, including legislation approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday that would clear the way for 11 million illegal aliens to seek U.S. citizenship. Lawmakers are also considering legislation that would make it a felony to ...

Investigators Find Security Lapses at U.S. Ports of Entry, Pass 2 'Dirty Bombs' Across Borders The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Undercover investigators slipped radioactive material enough to make two small "dirty bombs" across U.S. borders in Texas and Washington state in a test last year of security at American points of entry. Radiation alarms at the unidentified sites detected the small amounts of cesium-137, a nuclear material used in industrial gauges. But U.S. customs agents permitted the investigators to enter the United States because they were tricked with counterfeit documents. The Bush administration said Monday that within 45 days it will give U.S. Customs and ...

NEWARK, N.J., March 27 (UPI) -- An embarrassing hole in security surrounding former U.S. President Bill Clinton turned up when one of his chauffeurs was found to be a wanted man. Shahzad Qureshi, 42, was in one of three cars awaiting Clinton at Newark Airport last week when a Port Authority policeman happened to check license plate numbers. The computer came back showing the Pakistani national had skipped a residency-status hearing in 2000, and a deportation order had been issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the New York Post reported. Qureshi was still in jail Monday awaiting immigration processing, the report said.

By Rong-Gong Lin II Times Staff Writer March 27, 2006 More than a month had gone by, and 81-year-old Lee Sun Hua still didn't have his medication. In January, a pharmacist had refused to give the Koreatown resident his drugs, erroneously telling Lee he needed his new Medicare drug prescription card. He waited for weeks, and even had a volunteer at a Koreatown nonprofit agency call to request it. But it never came. Bothered by a chronic stomach ailment, Lee called his Medicare drug plan provider, Blue Cross, two weeks ago to inquire again. ...

In Washington, 100 demonstrators wore handcuffs at the Capitol to protest a bill that would make it a felony to be in this country illegally and would make it crime to dispense aid to the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants. Immigrant supporters also object to legislation that would also impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and would build fences along part of the U.S.-Mexican border.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON - As immigration rights activists rallied outside the Capitol, senators broke Monday from the House's get-tough approach by refusing to make criminals of people who help illegal immigrants. The Senate Judiciary Committee adopted an amendment by Sen.

"Charitable organizations, like individuals, should be able to provide humanitarian assistance to immigrants without fearing prosecution," Durbin said. The committee also approved more than ...
