Senate
approves election-reform
..."It is the first civil rights
legislation of the 21st century," said Sen. Christopher
Dodd of Connecticut, the bill's leading Democratic sponsor. --
African-American groups cautiously endorsed the bill, but Latino
groups argued against it, saying its voter identification requirements
would keep away eligible voters. -- In addition, Congress still
needs to appropriate money to make the bill work. - "Funds
must be appropriated - and quickly," said Kay J. Maxwell.... |

House
targets border DUIs
Question: What can U.S. Border Patrol
agents do to prevent a bunch of teenagers from San Diego who've
been partying in Tijuana, Mexico, from re-entering the United
States and driving drunk? Answer: Nothing. -- Because of a loophole
in current U.S. law, Immigration and Naturalization inspectors
and Border Patrol agents have no authority to take drivers who
are under the influence of alcohol or drugs into custody, no
matter how drunk they might be. |

Immigrants
rate Illinois congressmen poorly
...The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant
and Refugee Rights, along with other advocates, gave lawmakers
a D+ grade, saying the state's delegation has done a poor job
protecting refugees and immigrants involved in labor disputes.
-- Organizers analyzed the delegation's vote on more than 50
bills to compile the grade. Many of the votes involve security
measures after last year's terror attacks, such as a bill requiring
that all airport screeners be U.S. citizens. -- Groups favoring
stricter immigration say Illinois elected officials should not
apologize for opposing liberalized immigration laws that would
threaten security. |

Foreign
students may learn deadly skills on U.S. campuses
While the United States is threatening
war to dismantle Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, it turns
out that many scientists working in Saddam Hussein's labs learned
at American universities how to make chemical, biological and
nuclear weapons. -- A recent study at Georgia State University
in Atlanta suggests some students from Iraq and other nations
may have studied in the United States only to use that knowledge
to threaten American interests. |

'rejects' WND's line of questioning
...WND: Ari, on another subject, if thousands
of illegal aliens walked across the Crawford ranch property every
month, trashing the land, smuggling drugs, and threatening to
rape and injure and kill the residents, would the president do
something about it? This, of course, is happening on our borders,
as you know. -- FLEISCHER: Is there a question here, Les? --
WND: Yes. -- FLEISCHER: Of a serious nature? -- WND: What is
the president planning to do about millions of the illegals coming
across the border? Is he going to do anything about this? |

Border
Agencies in Denial
The very first line of defense for the
U.S. homeland consists of those who issue visas (the consular
division of the State Department) and those who control the borders
(the Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS). Trouble
is, neither of those agencies has understood its security role.
-- Their disastrous mistakes became painfully evident with two
revelations last week. Had the State Department properly applied
its own rules, as Joel Mowbray showed in the Oct. 28 National
Review and Thursday's Post, not one of the 15 Sept. 11 hijackers
whose visa forms he inspected could have legally entered the
United States. |

Council
expands anti-gang message
Last week, city councilors voted to get
tough on gang violence, calling for assistance from federal immigration
and drug enforcement agencies to help crack down on gang members.
-- Last night, the council opted to augment those efforts by
launching a series of meetings on how to prevent violence and
steer teens away from gangs. -- Councilors Rithy Uong and Dan
Tenczar made the motion to begin the discussions in Councilor
Armand Mercier's public safety subcommittee. -- "We cannot
change everything in this city, but at least we can intervene,"
Uong said. "Hopefully, we can bring positive aspects to
these kids' lives." |

the number of bodies Tuesday after officials cut open the railcar.
The bodies were taken to a morgue for examination, then autopsy,
officials said. -- The ME then started the process of determining
the victims' age, gender, identity and causes of death. -- Jose
Cuevas, the Mexican consul in Omaha, said investigators were
working on the presumption that all the victims were from Mexico.

Drug
Cartels Taking Over Forests
Environmental policies are driving ranchers,
loggers, and recreationists off the vast land tracts in the western
states managed by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land
Management. And violent marijuana growers serving foreign drug
cartels are replacing them. A September 25th investigative report
in the Red Bluff Daily News provides a frightening look at a
dangerous trend in America's national forests. |

Pima
County OKs Mexi-sham ID acceptance
Pima County will join Tucson in recognizing
the matrícular
consular identity cards issued to Mexican nationals legally
residing in this country [wrong: they are issued to any Mexican
national, legal or otherwise]. -- The Board of Supervisors
voted 5-0 yesterday to extend official county recognition to
the high-tech identity cards, which have visible and invisible
security codes embedded in them. -- The Mexican government this
summer began issuing the cards, which also are used to maintain
a database of Mexican nationals living in each consular area.
Tucson last month officially recognized the cards. |

Journal Editorial
Help
Wanted: Immigration reform is good policy--and good politics
Now that House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt
has introduced legislation that would allow millions of undocumented
aliens in the U.S. to earn legal status, maybe the White House
will stop ducking the issue and reply with its own initiative.
-- Last week, Mr. Gephardt told a crowd of enthusiastic Hispanics
that to pass his bill, "we need a Democratic majority"
in Congress. Actually, all we really need is for the Bush Administration
to revive its pre-9/11 plans for addressing the Rio Grande influx.

telephone poll by Talmey-Drake Research and Strategy Inc. of

A
move in migrant policy
President Vicente Fox last month named
Candido
Morales, a low-profile former farm laborer in California,
as his new point man on migrant issues. -- The announcement was
greeted by a collective "who's he?" among migration
analysts and immigrant activists in Mexico and the United States.
-- But it has quickly become clear that in selecting Morales,
an indigenous native of southern Oaxaca state, Fox is signaling
a radical shift in Mexican migrant politics. Morales' predecessor
was Juan
Hernandez.... |
