The latest report carries the warning it "is not to be released to the public, the media, or other personnel who do not have a valid need-to-know." According to the DHS document, the report "is one in a series of reference aids designed to provide operational and intelligence advice and assistance to other elements of DHS, as well as state, local, and regional fusions centers."

Tom Tancredo to address a group of students on its campus about the illegal immigration issue, Valley Breeze (Rhode Island) publisher Tom Ward wonders why colleges ban speakers and run from debate instead of encouraging it.

While the Dept. of Homeland Security is poised to see a substantial increase as the administration looks to shore up border security, target employers who hire illegal immigrants and combat the potential for spillover violence from Mexico, one cut will come from the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, which gives money to states to help defray the cost of incarcerating illegal immigrants who commit crimes. That program is popular with border state lawmakers of both parties, who say the federal government must foot the bill for failing to enforce its borders. Read today's story in the Washington Times.
