Arizona Prop. 202 Flunks Truth in Advertising Arizona already has an effective state policy against hiring illegal aliens. Over the strong objections and large sums of money spent by the Chamber of Commerce and other business interests to defeat Proposition 200 in 2004, Arizona voters enacted strong measures to hold businesses accountable. So why would the very same people who fought Proposition 200, and who opposed the mandatory use of E-Verify to prevent the hiring of illegal aliens, suddenly be behind Proposition 202, a ballot initiative they call The Stop Illegal Hiring Act?" asks FAIR in a news release. BECAUSE PROP 202 IS A SHAM!
THE OPEN BORDER NUT PORTION OF OUR GOVERNMENT PLAYS THE SHELL GAME WITH IMMIGRATION LAW ENFORCEMENT In this case, which "Initiative Shell" has the real enforcement method, like E-verify, and which "Intiative Shell" is just hotair and already Constitutional Law anyway. The open border nut portion of our government pretends they're fighting uncontrolled population just to get re-elected. Its all smoke and mirrors. Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 31, 2008 03:42 PMChamber of Commerce and the pro amensty group will try anything or evertything. Posted by: ALOHA on October 31, 2008 06:59 PMThese sweatshop thugs who are sponsoring this had better hope this measure doesn't pass. As commentators point out, if it passes, the people of Arizona will soon discover that they were defrauded, and they will no doubt take aggressive action against the perpetrators.

700 Billion Reasons to Reform Immigration "Earlier this month, Congress and President Bush committed AMEN IRA I'd add too that the 100M added to our population since 1990 has been basically linear [don't blame it all on Bush or Clinton, as it was equally both their faults] and mostly immigration....adding in the illegal aliens borrowing the subprime loans too, makes it even worse. The legal American citizen Baby Boomers did not cause this post 1990 population growth; it was clearly uncontrolled immigration. The need to build new homes and degrade the environment since 1990 was basically uncontrolled immigration and a concurrent shut down of our American domestic industrial base [globalization]. Here's some Numbersusa data in part: "....1970-80 1980-90 1990-2000 The rest of the URL: http://www.numbersusa.com/content/learn/overpopulation/comparisons-20th-century-growth-decade.html This uncontrolled immigration tidal wave that has hit America definitely caused the Economic Crisis today and stalling its dire consequences by borrowing our grandchildrens' money to keep a phony industrial base, "glue board home manufacturing" going has proven a complete disaster! Without immediate depopulation in America [and in the world too] ASAP, we'll never get out of this mess, ever. Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 31, 2008 03:31 PMMehlman makes an often ignored point. Which is that the cost of providng legal government programs for those who are amnestied, and their families who will inevitably follow, will far exceed any supposed "advantage" of low labor costs. That cheap lettuce you get will come with a big price tag on your tax bill. The fact is that many farmers can move to more mechanized means of production. It's initially more expensive to farm hydroponically, but it pays off with increased yields and less labor needed. Posted by: Leland on October 31, 2008 04:20 PMIra and "Software" are exactly right. I think Obama is committed to a " third world centric" re casting America a model for the whole world. He sees himself as a unique person who is one with many of the former colonial, non white people of the growing world. Pity that he doesn't love his "brothers" enough to want to save them individually from poverty, rather than collectively.The world has far to many people, especially in the hopelessly under-developed tropical and desert areas.Conservatives are part to blame by being against birth control, and Marxists need a big underclass to win the day, even while damning the world with so many unfed and starving. We have to roll back to a couple of billion folks on the planet or You are so right, Softwarengineer. I'd also like to point out that the perceived decrease in the fertility rate of Americans has been a matter of choice, not biology. The “experts” speak of our dwindling population as though it is an unforeseen problem that needs to be resolved. Nothing could be further from the truth. We Americans have chosen to control our population in order to preserve our quality of life and our environment, and in doing so are safeguarding both our nation and our children’s future. With shameful disregard for the well being of the American population our greedy politician’s and corporate elite pigs have sold our nation and her people out. Because of their wanton self-serving actions, we now find ourselves mired in an immigration nightmare. We must wake up now! --"Immigrants are not to blame for the nation's economic crisis, but immigration policy as it has been implemented (or ignored) over the past several decades is both emblematic of and a major contributing factor to the circumstances that landed our nation in the current mess." "-- Yes, immigrants ARE to blame as well...because they CHOOSE to go along with the policy. COMMENT: 700 BILLION DOLLARS AND ITS NOT OVER WITH...BUT OUR GOVERNMENT SPENDS 85 BILLION ON SOCIAL SERVICE ''FOR'' ILLEGALS HOUSING, FOOD STAMPS, MEDICAL, & EDUCATION !! SO WE GIVE, NOW ITS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO FOLLOW WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT , NO AMNESTY, SEND ALL HOME, FILL OUT PAPERS AND WAIT IN LINE IN ''MEXICO''ITS ONLY Well said, Ira Mehlman. The American people have been dismissed as a sea of toothless souls who should bail out elite recklessness, incompetence and greed and otherwise shut up. Now as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citibank and others melt down, we know the truth: these same elites used every tactic and tool at their disposal to enforce ultimately self-destructive policies. Posted by: Concerned Citizen on November 3, 2008 02:50 PMAside from Mr. Mehlmans admirable analysis, the more "honest" financial reporters have stated that not only sub prime mortgages to illegal aliens caused the present fiasco, but also sub-prime loans on expensive cars that were given to sub-prime mortagage homeowners. In other words it has been thievery on several levels and the Wall Street criminals are having us pay to bail out THEIR GREEDY GAMBLING. WHERE IS CONGRESS, THE SENATE, BUT MOST OF ALL THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, WHICH SHOULD BE PROTESTING IN THE STREETS BY THE MILLIONS. Posted by: Bobby on November 4, 2008 03:20 PM I wonder why there is not more outrage over this TRILLION DOLLAR heist. "We The People" have been robbed in broad daylight by our Elected Officials and there is almost NO MSM coverage of this. October 31, 2008

We must continue to make it clear that we will accept nothing less than enforcement of our existing laws. No amnesties, no more foreign worker visa programs, no more out of control immigration.

Pre-Election Spin Blames McCain Loss on Immigration "As the Hispanic population continues to increase, the WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OPEN BORDER LOONS TO SAY. PROPAGANDA IS ALL THEY HAVE. Posted by: American Me on October 31, 2008 12:01 PMI still think (and I have stated it here before) that the immigration issue would make or break the election winner/loser. John McCain and Barak Obama both have views that share the amnesty program. Chuck Baldwin (my write-in candidate) wants to close the borders - period! If McCain wanted to really win this election he would get off this economic platform and get on the illegal immigration platform and make a stand. The majority of LEGAL voters in this country want a stand AGAINST illegal immigration and would like to see their tax money go for valid programs for legal U.S. Citizens and not illegal third world scum who are taking American jobs! Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on October 31, 2008 12:20 PMThis article is a little disengenuous. It refers to "the success that Bush received during his 2000 and 2004 elections." Whatever the "Christian Hispanic vote" in those years, the fact is that Bush's percentage of the Hispanic vote in 2000 was 35 %. Immigration was not an issue in that year or in 2004. Hispanics are going to vote for Democrats because that party is going to side with them on economic issues. I do not think that the interests of the country are served by a never ending race to out-pander the other side. One promise is one-upped by the other side in a continual game. Which is why we can't have amnesty, because that group will become the target of even more promises. Waiting list to bring all your relatives here? I can just hear candidates saying "I am for family reunification". [even if another 50 million poor people come here.] If speaking the truth and refusing to redefine amnesty as "comprehensive reform" and illegal aliens as "undocumented immigrants" is somehow offensive, then we are censoring ourselves. And truthfully, Hillary reversed herself on the subject of drivers licenses for illegals, coming out against them after initially waffling on the issue. She still got the majority of Hispanic votes after she did that. Posted by: Leland on October 31, 2008 12:34 PMMY LATINA FRIEND IS VOTING MCCAIN She was a strong Hillary supporter, but no way would she vote for Obama. You can't put all Hispanics in Obama's camp, many don't like his old anti-American church and the fact that most the media refuses to analyze him fairly on a flat table with McCain. Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 31, 2008 12:58 PM"Pre-Election Spin Blames McCain Loss on Immigration" He lost? Guess that settles it, no point in voting now. Funny, I didn't think the voting was over until next Tuesday. A desperate last ditch effort to salvage the losing campaign of the messiah. From another in the tank, pro-illegal rag trying to demoralize McCain voters. Got some news for EGP. Read softwarengineers comment, and GO PUMA's! The fat lady has yet to sing. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2112848/posts Don't care if you are in a red state or a blue state, every vote is important, every vote matters. Never forget the Washington governors race, or that a Presidential race had to be determined in the COURTS because of a few hanging chads. PLEASE VOTE! 4 DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE FINAL DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA BEGINS!
The braindead American voters are about to elect, the most radical left wing candidate ever running for president.
I am beginning to understand how the first I was listening to NPR yesterday and this very subject came up. The Left Gate Keeper that was that was interviewing Dolores Huerta (invader activist) began to suggest that McCain will LOOSE the election because he did not embrace the invasion enough! WTF? How did the Lefties in this country become so blind and out of touch? Steve Sailor has pointed out and totally refuted the idea that the hispanic vote is that crucial to this election. This is one of the biggest scams going. If McCain loses it is because he didn't get the votes of Reagan Democrats, the Hillary Votes, and most of all the anti- illegal immigration voters. The Hispanic vote, FOR NOW, is simply not that great a factor, accounting for about 8 percent. PERIOD! October 31, 2008

ILLEGAL ALIENS SUING A LEGAL AMERICAN CITY GOVERNMENT? Those illegal aliens and their pothead [as American Me calls 'em] ACLU open border nuts can all go to Hades. The Hazelton government should send the ACLU a big bill for wasting our LEGAL city government's time and money on this blatant anarchy. Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 31, 2008 12:51 PMAll the groups like La Raza cry a river over local efforts to control immigration. Of course, those local efforts would not be necessary if La Raza and their cohorts would not be fighting every national effort to control illegal immigration and things like ID fraud. When you have a Hispanic Congressman comparing immigration agents to the "Gestapo", the discourse gets pretty tainted. The fact is that most of the "comprehensive reform" proponents only give lip service to enforcement. Just like in 1986 and the "one time" amnesty of that year. It wasn't groups like FAIR who went back on their word, but the groups like La Raza. That's why we can't have an amnesty, because all these same people and groups will lie through their teeth again about all the supposed restrictions on it. Once it's passed, they will immediately begin lobbying to remove those restrictions and conditions, with tales of woe about all those illegals who are inconvenienced. The fact that they are "separated from their families" by their own illegal crossing of the border won't be mentioned. Nor will these hypocrites Like La Raza ever say a word about the efforts Mexico takes to keep illegals on their southern border out. Including Mexican troops on their border and jailing of repeat offenders. Posted by: Leland on October 31, 2008 12:52 PMTHE ACLU IS A BUNCH OF HIPPIE POTHEAD RADICALS FROM THE 60s. Posted by: American Me on October 31, 2008 03:44 PMSick n Tired, it's a whole heap of BS. This judge, the ACLU and the illegals, all make a mockery of our legal system and this country.

He has the right idea . . . fine the hell out of them and make a statement to other companies who might have plans on hiring illegals. They may think twice. The city of Mesa, Arizona is now saying they will take a more agressive approach in the contractors they use to provide city services after Sheriff Joe Arpaio (way to go, Joe!) made a 2 am raid on the library and arrested many illegals. Enforce the laws and the illegals will self-deport. LEGALLY HERE - NOTHING TO FEAR! Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on October 30, 2008 12:57 PMI LIKE THIS FINE SIZE, $10M If we make the organised crime American employers start paying fines that actually cut into their slave labor profits; perhaps there is some hope. Of course we need more American employer enforcements nationwide too, these hardened criminals get off the hook more than not. Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 30, 2008 01:06 PMIt all looks and sounds good- but, then, we are now in the era of bail outs. This industry will probably put in a bail out request to Big Daddy Uncle Sammy to cover their fine costs (so we end up paying for it anyway).

Posted by: Bobby on October 29, 2008 04:26 PMCOMMENT: THIS COUNTRY IS TURNING INTO PURE GREED! I would pose some very simple, straightforward questions here: 1. What is the good of keeping businesses in America who refuse to employ Americans, but choose instead to bring in foreigners to take our jobs, effectively locking us out of our birthright? 2. Once this country is overwhelmingly populated by foreigners, does it continue to identify itself as America? 3. Who, other than the greedy robber baron employers who drain the well but put nothing back, benefits from these atrocities? These are rhetorical questions, but you get the point. I may be stepping on a land mine or two here, but I think it is more important now than ever to take some drastic measures: 1. Do not spend so much as one dime that isn't absolutely necessary. 2. Write, call, fax your representatives as often as possible. 3. Under no circumstances vote for either of these two pathetic excuses for presidential candidates. Posted by: melena29 on October 30, 2008 09:30 AMWhen either candidate says they'll create millions of jobs in the United States - don't be fooled!

Well, we entered the 21st century and in this morning's newspaper here in ground zero of the illegal invasion of Phoenix, Arizona there was a story about a police officer laying dead in the street- the victim of a drunk driving third world illegal alien rodent. After killing the police officer the illegal got out of his car and urinated on the street- oh, by the way the illegal had several identity cards on him. That shining city on the hill called America in the 21st century has become a third world open sewer for many non-elite Americans.

Ruben Navarrette: GOP Takes the Blame for Democrats Failure on Amnesty "McCain is poised to have his worst showing ever with Latino "Senate Democrats also had a hand in killing immigration reform in 2007 by trying to torpedo GOP support for a bipartisan compromise. House Democrats, under orders from Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., kept the controversial issue off the legislative agenda in 2008. Why? Organized labor. Democrats' slavish adherence to unions required that they derail any proposal that includes guest workers, as any bill with a chance to win Republican support would have to do." What killed this bill more than anything else were Americans who weren't willing to allow ourselves to be over run with people who come here illegally. The only people who want illegal aliens here are big business who have no consideration of the impact that illegal aliens make to the daily lives of American citizens.

I never read a headline like "Brett Farve takes blame for throwing three touchdowns against the Vikings". Posted by: Dave A on October 28, 2008 06:08 PMIf Ruben Navarette really wants to assign blame for these last several failed amnesties he need look no further than the 30 to 50 million illegal immigrants who, in response to the mercy America showed the 3 million illegal immigrants who came before them, chose to blatantly violate our immigration laws with the expectation that they too, will be forgiven. They are presumptuous as hell! Three million were graciously pardoned in 1986 for their willful disregard of our immigration law, and thirty million more followed in their footsteps. We understand that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We are standing up and shouting together in unison “NEVER AGAIN.” This is so typical of Navarrette's backward rhetoric. Millions of "undocumented immigrants" blame others for their "failure to get a green card". Guess what? They're not entitled to anything, because they crossed the border illegally. And apparently, not wanting to give them an amnesty is one of the "sins" we're commiting. How do you know guys like Navarratte are lying? Besides his lips moving, he uses the old "undocumented" chestnut. Oh, my papers? They're here somewhere, just can't seem to find them. The fact is that Hispanics are going to vote for Democrats on social issues. It's why California is mainly a Democratic state. Posted by: Leland on October 29, 2008 09:04 PMOctober 28, 2008

They can't pick and choose which laws they are going to uphold. As law enforcement officers they are there to "serve and protect" the citizens not to "pick and choose" those laws easiest to uphold.

The only political way to stop this is for every open border politician at the federal, state, and local levels to be either recalled or voted out in every election cycle. If we can't or won't stop the open borders insanity using political tactics, then we will either have to stage a revolution or live in fear or slavery. We are running out of both time and options.

Posted by: American Me on October 27, 2008 01:37 PMIt's time we sat down with the leaders of Canada and Mexico and renegotiated our economic and migration relationships. For that to work, the process will need to take full and careful account of the needs of the American people; during the NAFTA negotiations, it was actually the needs of ideology and large corporate interests that held sway. That said, I agree with Jorge Castaneda in principle, and when I speak to most people outside hard-core immigration reform circles, that's the general sentiment I hear. Now the question is whether we can ever find the leadership to bring such complex, multi-party negotiations to a stable and satisfactory conclusion. Posted by: Concerned Citizen on October 27, 2008 02:09 PM(Improving Mexican and Central American infrastructure, education and rule of law, or improving Colombian and Peruvian drug-enforcement efforts and respect for labor laws and human rights, are all in America's interest, and free trade agreements can help rather than harm such efforts.") They beat the drum for rule of law, yet have no qualms about violating ours. They talk of free trade, but let’s remember that the operative word here is trade. You must have something comparable to that which you plan to “trade” your partner for. As far as I can see they nothing have to offer that comes even remotely close to what they intend to gain. The free trade agreements for which they advocate serve only to destroy this nation, and with it, the last bastion of hope for the rest of the world; and once the United States of America becomes a third world disaster there is no way out of hell for any of us.

She totally agreed with us. The two presidential candidates keep blaming the economic crisis on each other's Dem/Rep political parties; yet almost all Americans know the truth: our present economic turmoil was caused by uncontrolled population growth in America and both parties and the media refuse to admit it. Even though almost all of Americans know the real truth, even the illegal aliens. Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 27, 2008 02:47 PMI support comprehensive immigration reform. I usually tangle with most Stein Report readers/commentators, but; This is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS! Where do FOREIGN leaders get off meddling in US immigration affairs? As an American of Mexican ancestry, I can imagine the reaction Mexico would have if the US tried to dictate THEIR immigration policy! Maybe if the Mexican elite, to which Castanda belongs, ceased sacking the country for a while, there would be the funds required for infrastructure! Castaneda calls for "law and order" ring hollow to those of us who KNOW that Mexican criminal syndicates and the Mexico government are one and the same! To be sure, they have rivalries among themselves, but the reality is that the so called drug cartels, the cops, and government functionaries are one and the same in Mexico! Mexico's Presidential election in 2006 was won by Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Electoral fraud was used to hand the election, and Presidency, over to Felipe Calderon--with Jorge Castaneda lending rhetorical support as a columnist with "refroma", a leading Mexico daily. Jorge Castaneda, though the former Mexico foreign minister, actually spends the majority of his time in the New York area. That's because he is a professor at New York University. So, here is his email address, if this interference in the affairs of OUR country make you as livid as it does me, send professor Castaneda an e-mail and let him know! Jorge Castañeda
Is this Marxist flake,Castenada, still floating around the U.S. somewhere? Posted by: Bobby on October 27, 2008 04:39 PM A few months back, I heard an interview with the President of Costa Rica and he said almost the same thing as Castaneda regarding the idea that the U.S. should begin to pump billions into their economy, just like the Marshall Plan of the 40's. This seems like an odd request considering the fact that the U.S. is now over 10 TRILLION Dollars in debt. These Latin American "intellectuals" seem to want the U.S. to underwrite an improved education system for every country north of Panama, relax immigration laws AND expand on NAFTA. GREAT POST melena29! Great summary! They beat the drum for rule of law, yet have no qualms about violating ours. They talk of free trade, but let’s remember that the operative word here is trade.

THANK YOU MELENA29 ! ! ! ! HONEST, TRUE, AND DEADLY ACCURATE! ! ! ! Posted by: Texanvolunteer on October 29, 2008 10:36 AMJuan McAmnesty, who’s a free trader, contends that lowering corporate taxes would keep jobs from being offshored. That’s pure BS, because the labor costs are so much lower in third world countries that you even if you lowered the taxes to zero, the savings still wouldn’t come close to the difference in labor costs. Obamnesty isn’t any better on this either. He claims that ending offshore tax breaks would stop or reduce the number of jobs being offshored. Once again, the difference in labor costs is so great that the increase in taxes wouldn’t provide an incentive to keep jobs here. NAFTA, CAFTA, and the trade agreement with China all need to be canceled, along with our membership in the WTO. McAmnesty and Obamnesty are both so bad on these topics that I’m voting for Chuck Baldwin. I just can't be a part of the two party sellout any longer.

Everyone knows that McCain almost destroyed his presidential run by trying to pass that insane Kennedy / McCain bill. If anything I think Obama and McCain both are the same page on illegal aliens. The only thing that will keep us safe from any kind of Amnesty for illegal aliens is to keep enough republicans in congress so the democrats can't become filler buster proof. Brian Posted by: Brian on October 27, 2008 01:02 PMWe all know the true message of Obama's campaign and that is "America needs an ethnic, religious, language, and class cleansing." He is preaching that there will be some sort of great liberation day for the world when white, middle-class, christian, English-speaking Americans are purged from the earth. Fellow Americans we have just lived (barely) through the worst presidential administration in our nation's great history and this has set the stage for the final curtain to come down. Remember the old Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man". The aliens came to earth to solve our problems- they did, but it was a clever guise. The "To Serve Man" book finally was translated, but it was too late for many people. To Serve Man was a cookbook and mankind was the main course.

In the future the U.S. presidential candidate will travel to Mexico and Canada and the rest of the world to lobby the people to become the President of the WORLD.

Considering that the U.S. administrations from Reagan to Bush 2, have planned and facilitated the occupation of 20-30 million!! illegal foreign nationals to come and set up residence in this nation, yeah, Bonnie, I would think that it's "WRONG" that neither McCain or Obama are allowed to pretend that this hasn't happened.

Palin in Favor of "Comprehensive" Reform? "In a Spanish television network interview aired Oct. 21 Does McAmnesty have a partner? Posted by: Rick S on October 24, 2008 12:23 PMShe's McCain's choice...What would you expect her to say? She comes from a much more conservative world view than McCain, and would probably define the "Comprehensive" agenda somewhat differently, if allow to speak freely. I wrote all kinds of angry things aboutMcCain over the past few years, related to Amnesty.Frankly I see a strong linkage between the financialcollapse, and a building "neo-drepression era" andthe "invasion" of the 20 million illegals. Still. McCain/Palin are more likely to secure the borders and at leastdeport a few million late-comers and criminals. OBAMA is totally crazy, ignorant, and unreasonable on the issue, with opinions that rival those of HUGO CHAVEZ on the question! GEE, I WONDER WHO TOLD HER TO SAY THAT. I`M GUESSING JUAN McAMNESTY. Posted by: American Me on October 24, 2008 12:36 PMI have been watching live campaign rallies of Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin. Yet when news is reported by some of the media like CBS, NBC, CNN, etc. their message gets so distorted, I am not sure any more whether the media has an agenda of their own. Though I strongly advocate against illegal immigration, I would not like to believe anything the media says anymore. I am independent and it pains me and I fear for my country. When I read this about Palin it absolutey clinched it for me. I will vote third party regardless of what happens. These politicians are utterly unwilling to enforce U.S. immigration law. Scr-w those who are so da-- lselective about what laws they pay attention to. Better yet, replace each and every one of them. Posted by: Bobby on October 24, 2008 01:17 PMIF YOU HAD 12,000,000 RATS INFEST YOUR HOUSE, WOULD PALIN'S RESPONSE MAKE SENSE? Another trouble with her allegations is, how in Hades is Palin counting 12M undocumented immigrants, with a Ouiji Board? Without E-Verify on all American companies 12M is just a wild eyed guess. Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 24, 2008 01:26 PMHere is the way I see it. We live with McCain for 4 years and by then Palin will earn her wings and run for President which would leave us with a true conservative in office for the following eight years who won't be for big business but for the American People. This is exactly why Palin excites the Republican base so much. Do you really believe she will disagree publicly with McCain on this issue when they are fighting hard to win the election. McCain can promise anything he wants to Illegal Aliens but without a filler buster proof congress in his pocket it will never happen. We just need to make sure we keep enough true conservative republicans in congress. Brian Posted by: Brian on October 24, 2008 02:53 PMI have great regard for fellow Southern Californian Bobby.

His slogan is "Uphold the Constitution." I'm not trying to change your mind. Obviously, you know the issues and I know you will vote according. Just thought I'd mention Baldwin. - Whipping Post Posted by: MiddleClassWhippingPost on October 26, 2008 09:47 PMI do and will always commend a "good guy" liberal like stalwart "Softwarengineer". There are many issues, that I likewise am liberal as "all get out" on, but politically driven OVERPOPULATION isn't one either of us espouse.It is the underlying problem. If we had a nation of people who were born here or only arrived legally, I would support a lot of "Communal" things. I think legit American residents deserve at least 300 square feet of shelter as a birthright. I think that non criminals deserve a hundred dollars a month in foodstamps to remain out of the criminal justice system, even if they don't work. People living in the October 24, 2008
Illegal Immigration Still a Hot Button Issue in Arizona "While some of Arizona's key political races this SHERRIFF JOE STILL SHOWING VICTOR IN THE POLLS TOO See the proof: Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 24, 2008 01:17 PMThe seeds from decades of illegal immigration in the state of Arizona have been sown. Even if total enforcement of the border would take place (that would be great) the seeds that have been planted have grown into trees and the trees have become forests- these forests are the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who have come here and have established third world colonies of corruption and chaos. The politicians could have ended the problem when the illegal immigrants were still seeds, instead by non enforcement they watered and nurtured the seeds and thus the seeds became the forests we have now. Thanks to the politicians and other traitors who enriched themselves at the expense of their fellow citizens we now have a full blown catastrophe that will never fully go away. Posted by: Future Day Laborer on October 24, 2008 01:32 PMJOE SHOULD HAVE RUN FOR PRESIDENT. MCAMENSTY AND PRO ALIEN OBAMA WOULD BE LEFT IN THE DUST. Posted by: ALOHA on October 24, 2008 07:52 PMFuture Day Laborer, I understand your sense of hopelessness; however, I couldn't disagree more. Keep in mind that just like a boil that has been festering for years, it must first be lanced and the infection drained before the healing can begin. We are now in the process of draining, and yes, it is ugly. We are finally treating it, and I believe with consistent attention and the proper antibiotic (attrition through enforcement), we will succeed in eradicating the vile disease that has been poisoning our nation. So let’s all remain diligent, and make sure the dressing is changed in a timely manner, shall we? Any open border or pro-illegal buffoons who have a problem with my analogy can lodge that complaint where the sun doesn’t shine! |
$700 billion of our children's and grandchildren's money in a desperate effort to stave off a financial meltdown. Judging from the reaction of the markets, that sum may only be a small down payment on the real cost of decades of criminally irresponsible policies promulgated in Washington and on Wall Street," says FAIR media director Ira Mehlman in an op-ed today. "At the intersection of Greed and Recklessness & Greed and Recklessness stands U.S. immigration policy. Immigrants are not to blame for the nation's economic crisis, but immigration policy as it has been implemented (or ignored) over the past several decades is both emblematic of and a major contributing factor to the circumstances that landed our nation in the current mess."
executive of a large kosher meatpacking plant on charges that he employed illegal immigrants for commercial gain and helped them secure fake documents, a sign of stepped up enforcement against employers who use illegal labor. Agents for Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Sholom Rubashkin, who headed the Agriprocessors Inc. plant in Postville, Iowa, on various criminal immigration and fraudulent-identity charges outlined in a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids," the Wall Street Journal reported. 
Hispanic Christian community has become a significant player in political campaigns, at least that is what Senator Barack Obama had in mind. Dispelling notions that the senator from Chicago would have trouble pulling in the Hispanic vote, which strongly supported Senator Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary, the Obama campaign launched an aggressive operation to court the Hispanic Christian vote in an effort to capitalize on the success that President Bush received during his 2000 and 2004 elections," EGP News writes. "Randy Carrillo, assistant pastor of Plaza United Methodist Church on Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles and Chairman of the Church of Los Angeles-Northeast Coalition, said it is impossible to categorize Hispanic voters. 'I know people who want to vote yes on Proposition 8 [which would prohibit gay marriage] and then vote for Obama,' he said."
a patchwork of immigration policies or supplement federal policy in a way allowed by Congress during an extended hearing on Thursday before the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The three-judge panel normally limits arguments to 15 minutes, but allowed the hearing to proceed for two hours," the Scranton Times writes. "Whether Congress carved out the exclusive right to regulate immigration and pre-empted states and cities from any role was a major argument. The parties also discussed whether the Hazleton ordinance provides due process for challenging how it is enforced. And they argued whether the people in the case, including four plaintiffs allowed to remain unnamed because they didn’t know if they had the proper immigration status, had standing to sue the city."
on an immigration program after a county commissioner complained the agency did not get permission to implement the plan," the Houston Chronicle reports. "The sheriff's office first sought permission from Commissioners Court in July to participate in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's 287(g) program, which trains law enforcement officers to help identify illegal non-U.S. citizens. Commissioner Sylvia Garcia asked to postpone a vote on the county's agreement with ICE and it never appeared on another agenda."
Wednesday afternoon at multiple dairy operations in Veblen. Here's what we know right now: 27 people were arrested: the result of a three month investigation involving 6 law enforcement agencies, including federal immigration and customs enforcement," KSFY.com reports. "This investigation began about three months ago when the Highway Patrol stopped a man in August. He presented suspicious documents during a traffic stop," an ICE spokesman said.
campaign, American Apparel, the biggest garment manufacturer in the country, is doing its best to keep the debate alive, saying legalizing foreign workers is good for business. Amid the whirr of sewing machines and clatter of cloth-laden carts, workers sport T-shirts that display their job functions in both Spanish and English, and telephone calls to family in Mexico are free," Reuters writes. "Chief Executive Dov Charney, a Canadian immigrant who displays his first alien resident card in the lunch room, did not respond to requests for an interview. But employees proudly cite his pro-immigrant policies -- $13 average hourly wages, $5 above California's minimum; stock in the company; subsidized health care, bus passes and meals; free English classes; and shuttering the factory during past protest marches."

avoid immigration-related problems like those that led to a sheriff's raid on city buildings this month, Mayor Scott Smith said Tuesday. His comments came in the wake of an Oct. 16 raid on the Mesa City Plaza and main library targeting employees of a janitorial firm suspected of using fraudulent identities to hide their immigration status. Deputies also searched a city security office," the Arizona Republic reports. "When a Mesa police lieutenant was tipped off that illegal immigrants might be working in city buildings under fraudulent IDs, Mesa chose to handle the matter administratively rather than as a criminal issue, Smith said. City officials met with the contractor last spring and were assured the company was obeying the law."
16 years since he left office, former LAPD Chief Daryl F. Gates returned to City Hall on Monday to wade into a contentious debate over police enforcement and illegal immigrants. Gates helped craft Special Order 40, the 1979 measure that limits when officers can inquire about the immigration status of crime victims and suspects," the LA Times reports. "Special Order 40 became the subject of intense debate earlier this year after the slaying of high school football player Jamiel Shaw II. Shaw was allegedly gunned down by a reputed gang member who was in the country illegally. Pedro Espinoza, who awaits trial on a murder charge, was released from Los Angeles County Jail the day before the killing."
arrested Sunday at the Lukeville port of entry on charges of trying to smuggle marijuana into the country. At about 5 p.m. Sunday, officials pulled over a 2002 Dodge pickup truck driven by Francisco Enrique Celaya-Carrillo at the Lukeville port of entry in Southwestern Arizona, a criminal complaint from the U.S. Attorney's Office shows. They found 167 pounds of marijuana hidden in the spare tire and gas tank, the complaint shows," the Arizona Daily Star reports. "Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials confirmed Celaya-Carrillo worked for the Mexican immigration agency in Sonoyta, Sonora."
domestic issue that should be excluded from talks with other governments, this is not a view held by other nations or by the United States. Indeed, the U.S. negotiated its first immigration deal in 1907, maintained for more than two decades by a controversial treaty with Mexico covering immigration, and has kept up immigration talks and deals even with Fidel Castro since the early 1960s," says former Mexican foreign minister Jorge Castaneda. American trade agreements have been faulted for limiting themselves to trade. The response has always been: the U.S. is not Europe, nor is it in the business of nation-building or reconstruction. But this is exactly what it did, successfully, with the post-1945 Marshall Plan and, unsuccessfully, with Iraq and Afghanistan today. [ . . . ] Improving Mexican and Central American infrastructure, education and rule of law, or improving Colombian and Peruvian drug-enforcement efforts and respect for labor laws and human rights, are all in America's interest, and free trade agreements can help rather than harm such efforts."
know, over the last year we have provided State of Immigration addresses to the American people highlighting our efforts to secure our border, enforce our national immigration laws, and improve temporary worker programs, and legal migration. This is the fourth address and it comes at the close of the fiscal year that ended on September 20, 2008. It gives us an opportunity, at this point, to step back and assess our progress over the last past year using a variety of different measurements and also to look back over five years since the department was created in 2003."
