Information On Bellingham Connection To Sniper Suspects
Bellingham Police Friday released investigative
reports into the activities of accused snipers John Muhammad
and Lee
Malvo. -- The documents spell out the reasons Muhammad referred
to Malvo as his son. That ruse was apparently necessary for Malvo,
an illegal alien from Jamaica, to enter Bellingham High school.
-- That's just one of a series of warning signs and information
tidbits that sound ominous now, but were unprovable then. ---
Some deal with the Bushmaster rifle and Muhammad's interest in
guns. |

the country is weighing up yet again its relations with the rest

and perhaps his only one because it is hard indeed to achieve
much in Mexico -- was scored north of the border.... |

Haitian
illegals will be detained
The Bush administration announced Friday
that Haitians and others who attempt to enter the U.S. illegally
by sea will be detained and subject to an expedited process to
send them back home. -- An INS statement says that even the perception
that rules are being relaxed could spur a mass migration that
threatens U.S. national security. -- "Any message that may
encourage a mass migration and detract federal resources from
our homeland defense is unacceptable,'' the INS statement says.
-- Although Justice Department officials said the move was made
under existing authority, immigration activists said it marked
a change in that most Haitians no longer will be able to go free
on bond while awaiting the outcome of their asylum cases. |

Republicans
in Charge - Now What?
Now that the Republican Party has obtained
control of both houses of Congress, they find themselves in control
of the entire federal government. Therefore, they can no longer
blame obstructionist Democrats for any failure to accomplish
their agenda. Voters have given Republicans carte blanche to
run the country. So, what can we expect from these omnipotent
Republicans during the next two years? --- Expect more NAFTA-style
trade agreements and additional accommodations for illegal aliens. |

As the dust settles after this week s

Walter Mondale proclaimed that he would raise people s taxes
if he was elected president, Gephardt declared that, should he
become Speaker of the House, there would be a massive amnesty
for many millions of illegal aliens. |

Hispanic
victors rise to challenge
Latinos secured three new seats in the

Hispanic leaders hailed the successful election this week of
15 Latinos, the largest legislative delegation ever in a state
where minorities are rapidly changing the face of Arizona. --
Putting the euphoria aside, the same leaders recognized that
the Latino legislators won't have enough clout to successfully
push legislation on matters important for immigrants,
such as a new law to allow them to get driver's licenses and
provide greater access to health care [legal immigrants can already
get driver's licenses in Arizona]. |

Mexican
illegal in fatal wreck pleads to reduced charge
A man initially charged with killing
a father and two of his children in a car wreck accepted a reduced
plea of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated, according to prosecutors.
-- Faustino Hernandez Rojas, an illegal immigrant from Mexico,
was involved in a car accident in Houston's East End on Sept.
15 that killed Juan Ortiz and two of his children, Jennifer and
Johnny. -- Evidence presented to a grand jury indicated both
Hernandez Rojas and Ortiz were driving drunk, and that Ortiz
may have been at fault for the accident, not Hernandez Rojas,
said prosecutor Jeff Laird. |
