January 27, 2012 No Protests in Mexico Over Required Voter ID "National IDs for voting, or proving citizenship, is an idea that is being floated in the United States to crack down on voter fraud, illegal immigration and foreign terrorists. Proponents, such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform, say it is an efficient way to verify identities and prevent crime. Opponents, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, describe it as an invasion of privacy. Minority advocacy groups have even alleged that the cards would frighten minorities going to the polls. But Mexico has not seen many problems with its card, and national identity cards have been issued for years in France, Poland, Singapore, Brazil, to prove citizenship," USA Today writes. "The credential proved so good at guaranteeing the identification of electors that it became the country's preferred credential, one now possessed by just about every adult Mexican. Its widespread acceptance deepened democracy, too, by giving credibility to the Federal Electoral Institute, analysts say. The agency was created as an independent agency to oversee federal elections."
Former USCIS Director Wants to be the Hispanic Rush Limbaugh "A former Bush administration official is launching a Spanish-language talk-radio show in hopes of bringing a conservative political message to a medium popular with many Hispanics. 'It will be like Rush Limbaugh but with a little Piolín flavor,' said host Alfonso Aguilar, referring to the godfather of conservative talk and the country's dominant Latino broadcaster," Politico writes. "Aguilar said he wants to 'challenge the conventional wisdom that if you're a Latino you have to vote with the Democratic Party.' But the program will differ from the likes of Limbaugh in one important way: Aguilar is an ardent advocate for comprehensive immigration reform."
Rabbi Involved in Immigration Fraud Finally Extradited "A Toronto rabbi who fled the U.S. five years ago and is accused of masterminding a massive immigration fraud mill in America has been extradited from Canada to New York," The Toronto Star writes. "Rabbi Avraham David, 47, whose real name is Earl Seth David, and who used to run a New York-based immigration law firm faces immigration fraud charges relating to the alleged processing of thousands of false immigration applications."
