GOP Faction Wants to Change 'Birthright Citizenship' Policy By Warren Vieth Times Staff Writer December 10, 2005 WASHINGTON — For nearly 140 years, any child born on U.S. soil, even to an illegal immigrant, has been given American citizenship. Now, some conservatives in Congress are determined to change that. A group of 92 lawmakers in the House will attempt next week to force a vote on legislation that would revoke the principle of "birthright citizenship," part of a broader effort to discourage illegal immigration. The push to change the citizenship policy is backed by some conservative activists and academics. But it could cause problems for the White House and the ...

No Thank You, Members Of Congress By Frosty Wooldridge 12-9-5 Ever been offered something you didn't like? Did you say, "No thank you." You might like to stand in that person's face to say it. What if you were face to face with every senator and House member in the United States Congress? What if you didn't like a number of things they had done to you and your family in the past five years? Would you like to tell them to their faces? What would you say? Here is what I'd say if I could speak face to face with my Colorado Senator Allard or Salazar and Representative Mark Udall. You can fill in the names of your senators and representative: No thank you, for so many unanswered ...

"Used with permission from http://OpinionJournal.com, a web site from Dow Jones & Company, Inc." Let's hope Republicans in Congress aren't gulled by the fast and furious spinning of the anti-immigration lobby this week. The restrictionists lost a special Congressional election in California that they'd been promoting for weeks, yet they're still hailing it as a great political victory. Tuesday's Orange County contest to fill the House seat vacated when Chris Cox moved to the Securities and Exchange Commission featured Republican State Senator John Campbell and Jim Gilchrist, a third-party candidate backed by anti-immigrant conservatives. The race was supposed to demonstrate ...

Parents fear for safety of children By LUKE McILVEEN and STEVE GEE December 09, 2005 PARENTS fear their children could be caught up in a day of violence at North Cronulla beach on Sunday, where hundreds of children will take part in a nippers carnival. Local surfers have been urged to confront Middle Eastern gangs at the beach at midday, but families are worried their children may become innocent victims of the racial tensions sweeping the area. Sutherland Mayor Kevin Schreiber said the junior lifesaving carnival would go ahead but parents were unsure whether they would take the risk of encountering "those looking to settle things themselves". "I can understand the ...
Tancredo's border fight going to House Lawmakers to weigh enforcement plan

WASHINGTON - Rep. Tom Tancredo is about to get his big border showdown. For years, Tancredo has had to bat down charges that he's a bigot or a crackpot, all while thumping his seal-the-borders mantra. On Thursday, conservative colleagues were calling him their leader as they gird for what could be a big fight in the House of Representatives next week over a proposed immigration enforcement measure. "For a long, long time, you were the voice crying out in the wilderness, and God bless you for it," Rep. Bob Beauprez, R-Colo., told Tancredo during a Thursday afternoon news conference. "You're not in the woods any longer," added Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo. The bill ...

As Congress considers the Bush administration's guest-worker plan, as Republicans try to figure out what their immigration philosophy is, and as political observers parse the implications of yesterday's California House race, here are some small and human questions on immigration to the United States. I recently found out through one of her daughters that my grandmother spent her first night in America on a park bench in downtown Manhattan. She had made her way from Ireland to Ellis Island, and a cousin was to meet the ship. It was about 1920. The cousin didn't show. So Mary Dorian, age roughly 20, all alone, with no connections and no relatives interested enough to remember her arrival in ...

House Conservatives Want End to Birthright Citizenship by Robert B. BlueyPosted Dec 8, 2005 House conservatives today announced plans to amend a Republican-sponsored immigration reform bill with language calling for the construction of a 2,000-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexico border and a provision that would deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. whose parents aren’t citizens. The legislation, sponsored by House Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R.-Wis.), is expected to be voted on by the full House as early as next week. Sensenbrenner has worked closely with the White House to craft the bill (H.R. 4437) -- the reason conservatives cited for the exclusion of key ...

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 6 (UPI) -- While most people asked say immigration is good for the United States, a Gallup Poll indicates displeasure with President Bush's handling of the issue. A November poll showed 26 percent of U.S. residents asked approved of the way Bush is handling immigration, while 65 percent disapproved, a Gallup Tuesday Briefing analysis said. The poll was conducted three weeks before Bush traveled to the U.S. Southwest to talk about immigration. A Gallup poll released in June showed strong U.S. support for immigration, with 61 percent of respondents saying it was good for the county and 34 percent saying it wasn't. Forty-six percent said they would like to see ...

Article created by The Century Foundation. As President Bush tries to use the immigration issue to establish his credibility as a non-lame-duck president, he, like many policy makers before him, feels pressure from two sides, the nativists and the globalists. Will he stake out a position clear enough to establish where he stands? The United States was built, and continues to be built by immigrants. Yet there has almost from the start been a strong streak of populist nativism that wants to limit new immigration. In contrast to this position, many Americans are content with high rates of immigration. These globalists may look to their own family histories, to international human rights ...

Rubenstein November’s Job Numbers: Good for immigrants; Bad for the Rest of Us U.S. job market sprang back last month from a hurricane-induced slowdown as nonfarm employers added 215,000 workers, according to the government’s report on business payrolls. But another report—the one based on a survey of households—reported a 52,000 job decline from October. More important, from our perspective, is the composition of that decline: Non-Hispanic employment fell by 183,000; Hispanic employment rose by 131,000. Thus non-Hispanics bore the full brunt of the November job ...
Mexican labs set to pour meth into Ariz.

CULIACÁN, SINALOA — The meth lab by the seminary was exceptional, even by narco-trafficker standards. Equipped with cylinders of acetone, ethanol and oxygen tanks, principal ingredients of meth production, the superlab was capable of producing at least 12 pounds of crystal methamphetamine — nearly 18,000 quarter-gram doses — a day, investigators estimate. Its discovery surprised investigtors in Sinaloa, where a dose of crystal sells on the streets for 30 pesos, about $2.50. But across the border, federal and state officials believe a much more lucrative market has opened its doors: Arizona. Arizona has long been a distribution point for Mexican meth into the rest ...

WASHINGTON - President Bush is stepping up pressure on Congress to embrace his plan for a guest worker plan for foreigners while talking tough about illegal immigration and a need for secure U.S. borders. "Those who enter the country illegally break the law," Bush said Saturday in his weekly radio address. "In communities near our border, illegal immigration strains the resources of schools, hospitals and law enforcement. And it involves smugglers and gangs that bring crime to our neighborhoods. Faced with this serious challenge our government's responsibility is clear. We're going to protect our borders." This week, the president made appearances in Arizona and Texas ...
Dean: GOP Will Use Immigration to Divide

PHOENIX (AP) -- Republicans plan to use the vast problems caused by illegal immigration to try and divide Americans voting in next year's midterm election, Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean said Saturday. "Once again, the Republicans created problems so they think they can come in and solve them," Dean told DNC members meeting in Phoenix. Thousands of illegal immigrants cross America's borders each year to work better-paying jobs. The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that 11 million illegal immigrants now live in the United States. Immigration is gaining prominence in politics, especially in Arizona and other states in the West, the busiest illegal entry point ...

Those involved, who allegedly targeted Southern California casinos, would offer to erase gambling debts in exchange for the debtors' willingness to marry Vietnamese and Chinese nationals, authorities said.

The 'Guest Worker' Program Illusion By Frosty Wooldridge 12-2-5 Last week, President Bush finally made a limousine tour of our broken borders. His cosmetic stops at the border presented photo ops much like his Johnny-come-later stops in New Orleans. He didn't see the millions of tons of trash, stay to watch the thousands of illegals crossing nightly, nor did he ask any American citizens about their horror stories. Nevertheless, he did make a few promising speeches on what he was going to do. However, and this is a big HOWEVER, he didn't follow through with his speeches on giving 10,000 more Border Patrol officers and he has not followed through with interior enforcement of our ...

Costa Mesa could become the first city to ask its police officers to enforce federal immigration laws if the City Council agrees to a proposal Mayor Allan Mansoor will make Tuesday. A 1996 law allows state and local jurisdictions to enforce federal immigration laws. Under Mansoor's plan, Costa Mesa police would be trained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to enforce immigration laws in the course of their normal duties. Local police wouldn't be out doing sweeps to find illegal immigrants, said Mansoor, who works as an Orange County Sheriff's Department deputy. But when officers encounter suspected illegal immigrants during, say, a traffic stop, they could investigate ...

Illegal Alien Advocates Exploit Mexican Immigrants

Illegal Alien Advocates Exploit Mexican Immigrants Jim Kouri, CPP The debate over illegal immigration is intensifying with most Americans calling for tighter border security and lots more immigration enforcement. A minority of special interest advocates on the left -- some on the right -- oppose the elimination of a revolving door illegal immigration and in fact want fewer restrictions on illegal immigration. The agenda of some Libertarian Republicans is obvious -- cheap labor. However, what are the motives of members of the Democrat Party? Why does it appear they are exploiting illegal immigrants, most of whom are Mexican nationals? Whenever this hot-button issue is discussed on a ...

And if their application for asylum is rejected, the asylum-seeker will now have 15 days instead of one ...

President Bush has returned to his illegal alien amnesty proposal—again. But how many illegals are we talking about? The 2000 Census said 8.7 million. The Pew Hispanic Center, analyzing data from the Census Bureau’s March 2004 population survey, bumped the total up to 10.3 million, adding that it was increasing by about 485,000 persons each year.
