Will We Fight Civil War II Over The Southwest U.S.?
...There is a serious movement among Mexicans and Americans of Mexican descent to take over the Southwest and turn it into a state of Mexico or an independent nation. The region, merged with northern Mexican provinces in one version and with all of Mexico in another, is called Aztlan, after the mythical birthplace of the Aztecs, or La Republica del Norte ­ Republic of the North. Activist Charles Truxillo, Professor of Chicano Studies at the University of New Mexico, says the new nation would include California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and southern Colorado.

Target: Tom Tancredo - Some Say GOP Primary Challenge Likely
...Tom Tancredo, a controversial, outspoken voice for the Republican right who is entering his third term, has angered leading Republicans back home and in the White House. -- The House Member's criticisms of President Bush's immigration policy bought him a 40-minute rebuke earlier this year from Bush adviser Karl Rove, who, in the Congressman's own words, warned him "never to darken the door of the White House again." -- Earlier this year, the Congressman accused Bush of pandering to Hispanic voters and trying to prop up Vicente Fox by offering amnesty to certain undocumented immigrants.

Black market for fake documents thrives among illegals
The dream of a better life in the United States is pushing illegal immigrants to buy fake documents on the black market in order to drive and hold a job. -- Some are paying up to $2,000 for phony Social Security numbers, according to sources in the local Brazilian community. -- The illegal activity comes to light at Framingham District Court, where as many as five people a day are cited for driving without a license. -- Most of them drive with international or out-of-state driver's licenses or with none at all.

San Diego Union-Tribune  
Two presidents failed to grasp complexity of immigration issue
The White House welcoming ceremony that kicked off Mexican President Vicente Fox's state visit in the first week of September 2001 was a crisply formal affair, with an honor guard, a 21-gun salute and a solemn declaration by President Bush that "the United States has no more important relationship in the world than the one we have with Mexico." -- But Fox, determined to advance his plan for an immigration deal that would legalize millions of Mexican immigrants, wanted more. --- "We must, and we can, reach an agreement on migration before the end of this very year," Fox said, laying down a timetable for his most urgent foreign-policy initiative.

Mexicans bamboozle artist
Mexico's "gift" of a mural to the San Francisco Main Library is generating lots of talk around town -- but it's not about the artwork. -- No, the talk is about how the Mexican Consulate stiffed the artist, Enrique Chagoya, out of the $15,000 he'd been promised for the piece. -- And it's generating a nice little flap between S.F. and the Mexican government. -- "It's embarrassing for everyone to have this sitting in our library unpaid for," says Library Commissioner Charles Hedgerows. "It makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Miami Herald
Security cited in halting Haitians
The throb of an idling speedboat engine drew the attention of kayaking friends near Key Biscayne one night almost two years ago. When they paddled closer, the kayakers saw about 20 Haitians wading ashore. -- When the boat's skipper realized he was being watched, he revved the engine and took off, five or 10 migrants still aboard, according to one of the kayakers, Tom Logue, an attorney in Miami. -- U.S. immigration authorities see this kind of undetected sea arrival by undocumented migrants as a threat to national security.

Meddling Mexicans urging wider acceptance of sham IDs
Fox's dream of an imminent migration deal with President Bush now seems about as quixotic, as one Mexican put it, as searching for the Holy Grail. -- But that hasn't stopped Fox's government from pressing ahead with plans to convince Americans beyond the Beltway that Mexican workers are already as much a part of the U.S. economy as investment capital and open markets. -- Central to this campaign are ID cards the Mexican government has issued this year to eager immigrants -- legal and illegal -- through Mexican Consulates all over the US.

White House Daily Briefing (Comments on Garza & the Mexicans)
Q: Scott, Tony Garza is ready to go to Mexico to be ambassador from the United States. The Mexican authorities continue to take immigration as a first priority for the bilateral relation, and they think with the personal relationship that Tony has with the President they can get something done quickly.

Political loyalty is a two-way street
...Pitt wasn't the only problem in this administration. The Immigration and Naturalization Service is an even clearer and more present danger. Though Commissioner James Ziglar announced in August he is leaving by the end of the year, he should go now, and President Bush should order a complete transformation of the agency that regularly fails this country because of the people it lets in and can't find once they are admitted.

Foreign enrollment in US colleges rises 6%
US colleges reported a surprising 6 percent surge in foreign students during the 2001-02 academic year, which specialists see as an indicator that students continued to enroll through the spring of 2002 despite fears overseas of terrorism and xenophobia in the US. -- While small, the growing numbers of students from Saudi Arabia, Israel, and several other Middle Eastern countries were the most significant findings...

Pimentel snivels about immigration policy
Alejandra Arias Garcia, 20, is about to be forsaken by her country. Many will argue that the United States isn't her country. This would be the equivalent, however, of arguing that up is down. -- She has lived here since she was 6 months old. She attended public schools here and got her Green Card at age 18. -- Her father is a naturalized U.S. citizen; her mother in the process of becoming one. Her seven brothers and sisters are either U.S.-born or permanent legal residents. --- Arias is about to be deported to Mexico.

The Dark Side Of The Illegal Alien Invasion
San Francisco is a warm and fuzzy city for illegal aliens. It doesn't matter if they're fleeing persecution or if they're seeking a better life or if they want to break into your house. They're all welcome here, no questions asked. And, as with the homeless, if you build a safe haven, they will come. And we have, and they have. -- The problem now is that all of America has now become a safe haven. Criminal aliens -- people who are in our country illegally and who commit crimes -- are a growing threat to public safety and national security. And they're threatening our scarce criminal-justice resources.

Latinos are in language limbo

Busted scofflaw job thieves using lame excuses in court
The 15 airline mechanics who were arrested and charged with violating immigration laws after a raid at Fort Worth Meacham Airport this summer came to America to live the American dream, their defense attorneys say. -- Federal agents scrutinized their backgrounds, fearful that these men, who had access to security-sensitive areas at the nation's airports, could have ties to terrorists. But as the cases wound their way through federal court, the terrorism suspicions never developed into facts.

Taxpayer ID Sham: IRS is subverting immigration controls
While Americans anxiously avoid the attention of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), that agency is providing cover to 9 million illegal aliens in the United States. By providing illegal aliens with a government-issued identity number, used in lieu of a Social Security number, the IRS is subverting the immigration law, undermining national security, and thwarting efforts by other federal agencies to cooperate in homeland security efforts.

Blue holidays for buses to Mexico
The closing of two cross-border bus lines has left a gap in the transportation business as the busy holiday season approaches. -- Both Golden State Transportation and Crucero closed on Aug. 30, and Golden State filed for bankruptcy a month later. -- Their closures ended a pioneering experiment in regional transportation that began in 1997: direct bus transport from Tucson and Phoenix to Mexican cities such as Hermosillo and Culiacan without even switching buses. -- Now only a smaller Mexican line.....

Political shift brings immigration back to fore
Immigration is making its way to the front burner once more where U.S.-Mexico relations are concerned. Texan Tony Garza, the new U.S. ambassador to Mexico, is openly talking about legalizing the status of some undocumented immigrants. -- The outcome of the recent U.S. congressional elections probably played a role in this renewal. With a Republican sweep in place, the nation likely will see immigration reform a la the GOP. It started last week when the House breezed through legislation that will abolish the INS and put its enforcement and service functions in separate agencies under the new Department of Homeland Security.
