October 19, 2009 Census Debate Intensifies Over Counting Illegal Immigrants Senators David Vitter of Louisiana and Bob Bennett of Utah, both Republican, want to change how the Census does its count so that illegal aliens are counted. Sen. Vitter points out that Louisiana lost a congressional seat in 2000 thanks to illegal immigration, which unfairly inflated the population of several states. Hispanic leaders who support a Census boycott to protest the lack of an amnesty support the Vitter amendment, believing it will put more pressure on Congress to pass amnesty.
More Illegal Immigrants From China Caught at Mexican Border Smuggling of illegal immigrants from China has spiked tenfold despite an overall decrease in the number of apprehensions along the southern border with Mexico. DHS agents arrested 261 Chinese nationals compared to an average of 32. The increase in smuggling of Chinese nationals may be due to the higher fees they pay to be smuggled - some Chinese are in debt between $50,000 - $70,000, which they work off in sweatshop conditions in the U.S.
Emasculating 287(g): Obama Administration Takes Next Steps to Throttle Immigration Law Enforcement Seventy local police agencies have signed 287(g) agreements with DHS to enforce immigration laws, the Washington Times reported. The DHS revised the 287(g) program to restrict the type of enforcement done by local police after the Obama administration began; agencies around the country are now signing these revised agreements, among them Maricopa County and Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Despite the changes to 287(g), amnesty supporters are still not placated and demand the program end. The Colorado Independent has more. Heather MacDonald has a post up at National Review Online looking at some of the "innocent" victims of immigration enforcement under 287(g) and explains why we need deportation for people who commit offenses the Obama administration doesn't consider "dangerous" like drunk-driving.
