October 07, 2011 Inmates May Replace Some Ag Workers in Alabama "Alabama farmers frantically looking for workers to replace those that have fled the state in the wake of its tough new immigration law should just stop by their local prison, according to the head of Alabama's agriculture department," Politico writes. "John McMillan, commissioner of the Alabama Dept. of Agriculture and Industries, told the Montgomery Advertiser on Thursday that inmate labor through the state's worker release program offers a short-term solution to the sudden labor shortage that has hit Alabama since enforcement of its illegal immigration law kicked in."
Perry Reaches Out to Conservatives on Immigration "One of the major sticking points of Texas Gov. Rick Perry's presidential campaign is what some GOP primary voters see as his moderate to liberal stance on illegal immigration. Conservatives groaned when they learned that Perry supported in-state tuition for the children of illegals in Texas, opposes E-Verify, opposed Arizona's illegal immigration law and even floated the idea of bi-national health care with Mexico," the Daily Caller says. "In a long-form interview out Thursday with Right Wing News' John Hawkins, Perry attempted to smooth over some of the more rocky portions of his immigration record, starting with in-state tuition for children of illegals."
NY Gov. Cuomo Wants More Tax Money for Translators So Illegal Aliens Can Get "Services" "Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered state agencies Thursday to translate documents and provide interpreters in six languages for immigrants seeking public services," the Wall Street Journal writes. "The $1.5 million effort covered by state and federal funds will also provide the translations to illegal immigrants, depending on what services they seek, Cuomo said. Immigrants won't be asked about their federal immigration status."
Hispanic Activists Upset Over Obama "Betrayal" "President Obama came into office with strong Latino support, having won two-thirds of the Latino vote, according to exit polls. But for some, that support has turned to disillusionment," reports NPR. "Uribe singles out a program called Secure Communities, in which local police check the immigration status of those they arrest on other violations. The administration says the program has led to some 195,000 criminals being deported this past year -- about half of all deportations. Uribe says many of those caught are for traffic violations and minor offenses."
Rep. Pearce Debates Opponent in Recall Race "The differences between Senate President Russell Pearce and his recall opponent Jerry Lewis aren't vast: Much of what distinguishes the two comes down to tone and illegal-immigration enforcement," says the Tucson Citizen. "Pearce and Lewis, both Republican Mormons, on Thursday night faced off in the only scheduled debate of the Nov. 8 Legislative District 18 recall election. The debate was held before a rowdy, capacity crowd in the auditorium of the East Valley Institute of Technology in west Mesa."
