"President Bush plans to address Tuesday's election results Last night White House spokesman Tony Snow said the Democratic takeover of the House would provide new opportunities to advance "comprehensive immigration reform" - read mass amnesty for illegal aliens. In his press conference today, Bush said, "Yes, I think we have a better chance of getting immigration reform now with a Democrat-controlled Congress." "I told you this before the election. I told you, 'The reason we don't have amnesty and a guest worker program is because of the Republicans in the House.' Now with Democrats running the place you're going to get it and the president's excited about it," Rush Limbaugh said today. FAIR issued a press release today in response to the election results - Support for Immigration Enforcement was a Key Factor in Many Democratic Victories Slate's Jacob Weisberg credits the new "Lou Dobbs Democrats" for the Democratic victory. "An even harder-edged nationalism defined many of the critical House races, where Democrats called for a moratorium on trade agreements, for canceling existing ones, or, in some cases, for slapping protective trade tariffs on China.

It was the hanging that killed Adrienne Shelly, a Manhattan actress and a mother, the authorities said yesterday. And it was the ruse of a fake suicide that ultimately led detectives to the man charged with killing her," the New York Times reports. "Such was the courtroom revelation at the arraignment of Diego Pillco, 19, an illegal immigrant from Ecuador who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Ms. Shelly, 40, last week. The case has given pause to even the most experienced police investigators, who call it one of the most macabre killings in memory . . .
