Counterpoint:
House of cards
Apologists for illegal immigration love the matricula consular,
a document issued by Mexican consulates to Mexican nationals
who are living abroad and don't have identification documents.
But that doesn't explain why elected officials in dozens of cities
and counties across the United States - including Denver - have
decided to accept them as legal proof of identity. They are sworn
to uphold the law, not to subvert it for their own convenience,
and they certainly have no obligation to make life easier for
people who have chosen to live outside the law. |

How
To Report Illegal Aliens
With all this hoopla about homeland security,
why isn't there a "Terrorism Information and Prevention
System" that Americans can really use? Why not start reporting
illegal aliens and criminal alien residents? -- Illegal aliens
are technically subject to deportation at any time. Their very
presence violates federal law. Lawful permanent resident aliensthat
is, anyone with a "green card" can become deportable
if they are convicted of certain crimes... [Visit

plea bargains expected in Tyson smuggling case
...The Arkansas-based company, which

administration, is caught in a high-stakes, "politically
charged" game of chicken with the Justice Department. --
Eleven months ago, a federal grand jury indicted the company,
two of its executives and four former managers on charges of
conspiring to smuggle illegal immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala
and Honduras to work in its poultry plants. |

...The incidents offer vivid evidence
that the abrupt slowdown in illegal immigration after the Sept.
11 attacks is over. So do recent statistics compiled by the United
States Border Patrol, which show that apprehensions of illegal
immigrants - the barometer for measuring activity along the border
- are roughly back to where they were before Sept. 11. -- "We're
running about even with last year, maybe slightly higher,"
said Ray Garza, assistant chief of the Border Patrol's McAllen
sector, which covers South Texas. |

Patrol Advertises for Illegal Aliens
Why do mapmakers bother to show U.S.
boundary lines? Get this: The U.S. Border Patrol is using your

illegal aliens. -- The one-minute commercial is expected to be
broadcast next year on TV stations in Mexico and in the border
city of Yuma, Ariz. -- "Officials want to reach viewers
in the interior parts of Mexico, where potential border crossers
may know little about the treacherous terrain and nothing about
the beacons," the
Associated Press reported. |

Mexicans call for 'militant activities' in the United States
Mexico's foreign minister, [reconquista
Marxist] Jorge Castaneda, said his country would begin a
"bottom-up campaign" to win U.S. public support for
a proposal to legalize 3.5 million undocumented
Mexican workers in the United States. -- Castaneda said Mexican
officials will begin rallying unions, churches, universities
and Mexican communities. -- "What's important is that American
society sees a possible migratory agreement in a positive light,"
Castaneda said. "We are already giving instructions to our
consulates that they begin propagating militant activities --
if you will -- in their communities." |

water stations for illegal aliens from around the world penetrating
our country from the south, and the Bush White House is preparing
to reward illegal border-crossers from Mexico with "earned
legalization." |

Gov.-elect
seeks strong ties with Mexico
For nine years, Janet Napolitano's work
with Mexican officials usually involved solving the seedy side
of border relations like environmental cleanups or the extradition
of criminals. -- As governor, she will get the opportunity to
foster a strong relationship and see a brighter Mexico by pushing
less thorny but still substantial issues like economic development.
-- "As U.S. attorney and attorney general, I have spent
a lot of time on border issues, primarily related to law enforcement
and immigration," Napolitano said. |
