February 02, 2010 Gutierrez Threatens Democrats Over Amnesty "A leading Latino lawmaker asserted Monday that Latinos, angered at President Obama for his failure to push immigration reform legislation, could stay home from the polls this year," the LA Times reported. "Earlier, Gutierrez told The Times that Obama's failure to push immigration reform was symbolized by his State of the Union address last Wednesday, when he devoted 38 of about 7,300 words to the issue. The "throwaway line," Gutierrez said, was the final straw for many activists who have been perturbed by the continued deportations and other enforcement actions without real progress on reform legislation."
Baltimore Employers Face E-Verify Requirement "Contractors working with Baltimore County could soon be required to verify the immigration status of their employees or risk losing county business," the Baltimore Sun reports. "The County Council enacted a resolution Monday, by a unanimous vote of the six members that were present. The resolution urges County Executive James T. Smith Jr. to ensure contractors vet new hires with the federal E-Verify program."
Gang Members Move Around DC Suburbs to Avoid Immigration Enforcement "Montgomery and Fairfax counties are similar is size, population and demographics, but the Maryland county has seen nearly 25 percent more serious crime recently than its neighbor across the Potomac, a [county] study found," according to the Washington Examiner. "Jon Feere, a legal policy analyst for the Center for Immigration Studies, noted that the Montgomery County Council report cited a 12 percent reduction in violent crime in Fairfax County from 2006 to 2008, compared with a 5 percent drop in Montgomery during the same period. 'It is possible that Virginia's statewide efforts at discouraging illegal immigration have resulted in a greater decrease in violent criminal activity, particularly when it comes to the issue of criminal alien gangs like MS-13,' Feere said."
