December 07, 2009 Tancredo Files for Colorado E-Verify Proposition Former Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo has begun campaigning for a ballot proposition in Colorado that would require businesses to use E-Verify. "The Tancredo proposal faces a number of hurdles before the measure can be placed on the 2010 Colorado Initiative Ballot, the most important of which will be fundraising. Clearly, Tancredo will not be able to look to the corporate community for support. Instead he might well consider quietly reaching out to organized labor and their supporters using the same very persuasive arguments that they put forward when the idea was theirs alone," says Richard Blake of the Examiner.
Second Generation Immigrants Doing Poorly "Not since the last great wave of immigration to the United States around 1900 has the country's economic future been so closely entwined with the generational progress of an immigrant group. And so far, on nearly every measure, the news is troubling," says the Washington Post in a story on second generation immigrants from Latin America. "Second-generation Latinos have the highest high school dropout rate -- one in seven -- of any U.S.-born racial or ethnic group and the highest teen pregnancy rate. These Latinos also receive far fewer college degrees and make significantly less money than non-Hispanic whites and other second-generation immigrants."
ICE Detention Numbers Released "The number of individuals held in custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the just-ended FY 2009 is now estimated to have reached 369,483 detainees, more than twice what the total was in FY 1999," says the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC).
Migration Talks With Cuba Postponed "A U.S. State Department official told The Associated Press on Friday that both sides intend to continue holding periodic negotiations on immigration issues twice a year, but that bureaucratic concerns derailed talks that had been scheduled for early December in Havana," the AP reported. "Cuban officials say they have made concrete proposals to the United States to hold talks on counternarcotics, disaster preparedness and other issues -- but have not heard back. Washington, in turn, says Cuba has done little to inspire confidence that it will allow social, political or economic changes -- something the U.S. said is a prerequisite to moving forward."
