January 07, 2010 Illegal Alien Patients Appealing Case Against Hospital A state court judge has twice dismissed the illegal alien patient's lawsuit against the hospital, but yesterday the patients' lawyer filed an appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court. Again, the story does a stellar job of describing the plight of illegal aliens, but ignores the plight of Americans who also need care. Quite ironic considering the health care debate taking place in Washington right now.
Catholic Church Starts Postcard Campaign for Amnesty A Catholic news site reports that "The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is launching a massive postcard campaign to encourage Congress to enact immigration reform. At least 1.5 million postcards are expected to be distributed-- 300,000 of them in Ohio, according to the USCCB press release."
ICE Detains Illegal Aliens Smuggled by Van "Federal immigration officials pulled over four vans yesterday morning in Foxborough, detained nine immigrants, and ordered 49 more who were stopped to report to federal authorities to determine whether they are here legally," the Boston Globe reports. "The arrests were the result of a routine Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation seeking specific fugitives who have been ordered deported, agency spokeswoman Paula Grenier said."
UCLA Study Touts Economic Benefits of Amnesty A new report from UCLA claims that amnesty would benefit the economy. "The report said that legalization, along with a program that allows for future immigration based on the labor market, would create jobs, increase wages and generate more tax revenue," the LA Times reports. FAIR's special projects director Jack Martin notes, "The issue is not the illegal status of some of the low-wage workers, but rather the number of them chasing a limited number of jobs. Changing the legal status of some of those workers would not change the law of supply and demand. Instead, CIR would worsen the situation because another amnesty would be seen abroad as evidence that the US is never going to be able to firmly administer an immigration policy that excludes people who violate our immigration law."
