Prepared by the PhilFam Committee (1997) Evolution of [demographic] warfare & abuse of doctrine of national security [why 3rd World fears West] ...Today's "Demographic War" is being waged in a manner never before conceived in the annals of warfare and human domination. Little have we noticed it, but over the last three decades, military science has been rapidly overshadowed and reshaped by social psychology -- a pure science which, when applied, would constitute the theoretical base for social engineering. Who could have thought that the basic weapon could -- over a span of 25 post-World War II years -- evolve from the M1-Garand to Group Dynamics?

N.Y. Times (Free Registration) (Sob Story Alert)   For Day Laborers, Another Dollar Could Mean Another Death ...He came here illegally, but no one tried to deport him, and there were always jobs. But the work that killed Mr. Oliva was the dangerous kind often left to laborers who stand on corners - ready, willing and cheap. -- "They're treated like disposable workers," said Carlos Canales, an organizer with the Workplace Project, which represents immigrant laborers here. -- Hardly a stranger in a strange land, Mr. Oliva was the second generation of a family from El Salvador to view the United States as a second home. His father, Brogelio, fled his country ....

Interviews were conducted in Spanish: Luis spends a lot of time behind the wheel -- driving his wife to work, his four children to school, and rushing between two jobs. -- As an undocumented immigrant, he is not eligible for a driver's license. He obtained one illegally years ago, but it's expired. -- So at every corner, every stop light, Luis has an eye out for the cops. Even the slightest infraction could get his car impounded and land him in jail, facing $1,300 in fines and possible deportation. ['Possible' deportation?]

Bisbee Observer Cochise Co. Sheriff asks for border help - again Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever met recently with officials from the U.S. Attorney General's Office and once again asked for help at the border. -- "Funding is the big question for all of us," Dever said. "What is currently being done? The answer is there is something being done but not enough." -- In Cochise County, [illegals] cost the county criminal justice system about $3 million in fiscal year 1999-2000, the most recent year for which figures are available, Dever said.

Hal Netkin to L.A. Mechista politicos Dear Mr. Villaraigosa: You may remember me. I am the activist who was instrumental in causing your bid for L.A.'s Mayor to fail as a result of launching the site that opposed you. In addition to the launched site, I organized a telephone message delivery system which delivered 40,000 recorded telephone calls to the Valley voters warning them of your separatist background and your involvement with MECHA (Movemiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan -- Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan).....

Immigrants -- illegal or otherwise -- have become one of Mexico's most profitable exports.

Santa Cruz Sentinel Mexican flag waves as invasion, demographic war continues unabated ...At 45, city resident and political activist Daniel Dodge, a third-generation Latino, says he can't recall a campaign when the issue of race was in the forefront as it was this year. -- "I think sometimes it seems like Anglos fear a Mexican takeover," Dodge said. "Sometimes I don't understand the fear, but I guess it is a fear of life changing from the way it used to be," -- "Sometimes we joke and say they are afraid we are going to do to them what they did to us," he said, referring to the official American takeover of California from Mexico under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.

Letters to the Editor

L.A Times (3 Published) -- (Free Registration)  Pro-illegal-alien L.A. Times should tell the truth ...Your newspaper has always been pro-illegal immigration. It is time you admit that the enormous increase of poor people is causing a crisis in health care, among other things. You mention that most employers don't provide health-care plans. Why should they, when cheap labor keeps pouring in over the border and the taxpayers pick up the tab? -- Do you think it is fair that little old people like us on a fixed income should be paying for illegal aliens' health care? [Here's one from Glenn Spencer that they haven't published]

Denver Post Post story glorifies scofflaws, as usual ...Those immigration laws clash with economic realities on both sides of the border every day. An estimated 8 million people have settled in the U.S. without legal documents, and each year the number grows by another quarter- million. More than half come from Mexico. -- Many remain in the shadow world of undocumented residents for as long as they can, banking that immigration amnesty one day will make them legal.

Washington Post Mexican Farmers Cry Foul ...Mexican farmers fear that their markets will soon be flooded with U.S. chicken and that a way of life in the already aching Mexican countryside will soon disappear in the name of free trade. They also worry that even more unemployed Mexican workers will become illegal immigrants looking for jobs in the United States. -- "The dream that NAFTA promised has turned into a nightmare. We are very disappointed," said Jose Maria Imaz...

South Bend Tribune Barriers, border patrols blamed in part for demise of illegals ...That border walls and intensified border patrols have contributed to the deaths by channeling immigrants into more treacherous routes. -- Advocates say the number of Mexican immigrants who die at the border has increased in the past decade, but their statistics from the early 1990s can be contradicted by others. --- While Mexicans continue to immigrate at the usual rates, the chances of them returning to Mexico have decreased since 1993 and are now at an all-time low, the researchers found.While Mexicans continue to immigrate at the usual rates, the chances of them returning to Mexico have decreased since 1993 and are now at an all-time low, the researchers found.

Arizona Republic Editorial Inhumane policies breed border chaos People are dying in the desert, a criminal underworld is growing stronger and rural Arizonans are taking up arms. -- The misery, exploitation and anger along Arizona's southern border multiplies because the federal government lacks a realistic, rational or reasonable immigration policy. -- A realistic immigration policy would involve a humane system to get Mexican laborers to the U.S. employers who need them. The current policy entices people to their death because migrants know there are jobs waiting if they can make it past a narrow zone of enforcement along the border......

Washington Post Illegals still being enrolled at NVCC Northern Virginia Community College has continued to enroll illegal immigrants in classes despite a strong recommendation from the state attorney general's office that undocumented applicants be rejected and that such students be reported to immigration authorities. -- College administrators noted that at least some of those students arrived in the U.S. as children and did not willfully break the immigration rules. -- "We're not trying to open our doors to terrorists or people who were trying to sneak across our borders," said Max L. Bassett, vice president of academic and student services at NVCC.

San Francisco Chronicle Mexican fifth column grows in Calif. ...The elections last month selected a new, 120-member council that will advise Mexican President Vicente Fox on how to improve services for the estimated 13 million Mexican citizens living in the U.S.-- In the U.S, Mexicans have been represented mainly by lobbying groups dominated by Mexican Americans, who are U.S. citizens and thus often have different interests than noncitizens. Few Mexicans travel back to Mexico to vote in elections there, and proposals in Mexico's Congress to allow voting for Mexican elections in consulates abroad have stalled recently.

Tom Ridge heads. -- ...Mexican Foreign Undersecretary for North America, Mauricio Toussaint, said Mexico's misgivings were conveyed to the U.S. delegation at a meeting of the Binational Commission in Mexico City earlier this week. -- "We asked them to be careful," he said, "because Mexicans' rights are at stake."
