February 04, 2010 Mass Amnesty Advocates Criticize Potential Senatorial Candidate "The Hispanic Federation slammed possible Democratic Senate candidate Harold Ford Jr. on Monday, alleging that his record on immigration isn't up to par for New York City. Ford is a former congressman from Tennessee who is rumored to be seeking a primary challenge against current U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)," the Epoch Times writes. "Ford voted yes on a 2005 bill that was mostly Republican-backed in the House and, if it was passed in the Senate, would possibly have charged all illegal immigrants in the U.S. with a felony. . . "
French Deny Citizenship Over Veil The Christian Science Monitor says, "France's immigration minister said he is refusing citizenship to a Muslim man who called his wife 'an inferior being,' and forced her to wear a full veil in public, an announcement that plays well with French public support for a burqa ban."
Dialysis for Illegal Aliens Puts Strain on Hospitals The AP covers the controversy over providing dialysis to illegal alien patients in Georiga. "The treatment typically costs $40,000 to $50,000 a year, and [Atlanta's Grady Hospital] is just one of the struggling public hospitals cutting the service to reduce costs. Many indigent dialysis patients, including Kaur, are illegal immigrants, so facilities that give them routine treatments receive no federal money for their care. . . 'When you have long-term health conditions that need continuing care, the government needs to send these people back to their countries,' said Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which favors tougher immigration enforcement. 'They cannot expect the taxpayer is going to endlessly pick up the tab.'"
10th Circuit Case Upholds E-Verify Mandate, Other Oklahoma Provisions on Hold "A federal appeals court panel ruled Tuesday that a portion of Oklahoma's anti-illegal immigration law is enforceable now, while other provisions of the law are not," the Oklahoman reported. "[Rep.]Terrill said he is pleased the panel upheld the section of the law that requires employers contracting with government entities to use the federal E-Verify computer system to verify job seekers' eligibility. 'So what it signals is that I can now proceed with what would perhaps be the next step which is to simply remove the public contracting requirement and require all employers to use E-Verify to make sure that the people that they're hiring are legal,' Terrill said."
Lawsuit Targets Guest Worker Abuse "Immigration authorities worked closely with a marine oil-rig company in Mississippi to discourage protests by temporary guest workers from India over their job conditions, including advising managers to send some workers back to India," the New York Times reported. "The cooperation between the company and federal immigration agents is recounted in sworn depositions by Signal managers who were involved when tensions in its shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss., erupted into a public clash in March 2007."
