Mexican Propaganda Machine
Shifts Into High Gear
Mexican newspapers begin smear campaign against American
Border Patrol
THE TRUTH
Tucson Citizen -
11/5/02 -- Editorial
"Distinctions must be drawn between those who only observe
or provide humanitarian aid along the border - which we find
acceptable - vs. those who become unauthorized participants in
border affairs - which we find unacceptable. -- "In the
first category, we would place American
Border Patrol...." |
FICTION
The News Mexico City - 11/20/02 --Story
"The Citizens Border Patrol Militia would be the third U.S.
vigilante group to operate along the Arizona border, after units
of Texas' Ranch Rescue and California's American
Border Patrol were formed in the area to track down undocumented
migrants in the name of protecting ranching interests." |
RESPONSE
Attorney General John Ashcroft must launch
an immediate investigation into Mexican government infiltration
and interference in U.S. political affairs for the purpose of
conquest, beginning with communist reconquista, Isabel
Garcia. |

The
Parable Of The Prodigal Wilson
In my column last week, I wrote that
former California governor Pete Wilson, because of his fierce
stand eight years ago against illegal immigration, is probably
the most popular Republican in the state. -- Wilson acquired
his mantle by default. Neither of the Republicans who have since
run for governor - Dan Lungren and Bill Simon - has stirred the
voter's passions. And the same goes for defeated Senate candidates
Matt Fong and Tom Campbell. |

Doesn't Want Gays To Mentor Children
A handful of Republican congressmen asked
President George W. Bush on Tuesday to pressure Big Brothers
and Big Sisters of America to abandon a policy requiring its
mentoring programs not to discriminate against gays and lesbians.
-- Bush is an honorary co-chairman of the organization. -- The
nine representatives, led by Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., said
the national antidiscrimination rule forces local Big Brothers
and Big Sisters affiliates to accept gay and lesbian mentors,
without giving parents a say. [Glenn Spencer and American Patrol

College
still enrolling illegals
Fredricksburg, VA -- Virginia's largest
community college will continue to enroll illegal immigrants
as students, despite an advisory opinion from Attorney General
Jerry Kilgore recommending that undocumented residents be denied
admission. -- But Northern Virginia Community College will no
longer grant those students in-state tuition, meaning they will
have to pay tuition rates nearly four times higher. -- The policy
change on tuition is in response to an opinion Kilgore's office
issued in September. |

...Large scale immigration of people

one of the worst child-abuse cases officers have seen. -- Charging

The wave of Somali refugees who have

civil war, has stabilized near 1,100 in this largely white city
of 37,000 people, said assistant city administrator Phil Nadeau. |

Contractors
wary of labor center -- Leery of taxes, INS
The Roswell Intercultural Alliance (RIB)
provides an organized place for contractors to hire local Hispanic
workers. But some contractors don't like formalizing the process.
-- The RIB is a non-profit organization aimed to help the Hispanic population
in Roswell adjust to American society. -- Roswell Police Chief
Ed Williams said the contractors' worries are not valid. Illegal
aliens and taxation are not in his department's jurisdiction,
and he has little sympathy for the contractors. |

New
Immigration Agency, New Department, Same Old Failed Policies
...Some in the Congress and Administration
continue to hold out the promise of a massive amnesty for millions
of illegal aliens, and other programs that reward people for
violating our immigration laws. Internal enforcement of immigration
laws remain virtually nonexistent, thereby assuring people that
there is no risk of ever being detected for being here illegally,
much less deported. |

Napolitano,

She has been through an intense campaign

beach resort. -- Napolitano knows immigration plays a pivotal
role in ensuring continued cross-border prosperity. Like Hull,
Napolitano supports the creation of a guest- worker program.
-- But the governor-elect may not agree with her predecessor's
open-borders vision. Napolitano said the current U.S. beef-up-the-border
strategy is working. What needs improvement, she said, is improving
traffic flow at Arizona's ports of entry. |

Disregard for law is spreading along

their human cargo to die in Arizona's great deserts. -- Disregard

as suspicious characters, and even if they're altar boys, they're
still going to have to prove that they're not terrorists,"
