Overwhelmed - O'Reilly
Factor, 11/22/02
O'Reilly:
Dr. Lorenzo Pelly practices internal medicine at two Brownsville
hospitals. Brownsville, of course is in Texas.
Pelly: "Premature babies about to be delivered, gunshot
wounds, crush injuries, patients with neuro trauma, and, worst
yet, patients that have been in a Mexican hospital for weeks
and they have communicable diseases such as anti-biotic resistant
tuberculosis, and those are the type of patients that cross
the border."

"... the California Council on
Science and Technology says that the state's students are woefully
unprepared to enter careers in the high-tech industry, and found
that the state's education system is one of the worst in the

And here comes the spin
The liberal media - the
folks who did this to us - will spin this story with every trick
in the book. They are already saying the problem is nationwide.
Other than New York's 911 problems
this is nonsense.
The politicians love immigration - let them
pay for it - not the American taxpayer!

An
open letter to President Bush
Dear President Bush: I understand
that it is your intention to strengthen the U.S. Military and
to make sure that its state-of-the-art arsenal is capable of
crushing America's enemies any time any place. I heard of your
plans to support development of tactical nuclear weapons that
with one strike could decide local conflicts or to wipe out a
major terrorist camp or a center of enemy's resistance from the
surface of the Earth. One can expect that, once your plans materialize,
no rogue country or a terrorist organization will be able to
challenge superiority of American Armed Forces or pose a serious
threat to American people... |

Mexican
consulate to go mobile
A line hundreds deep formed outside Centro
Amistad in northeast Boulder one Saturday last month when the
Mexican Consulate's office showed up to issue identification
cards to Mexicans. -- It was the first time the consulate
had offered the cards in Boulder, but the scene could become
more common next year. -- "From our office in Denver, it
is impossible to offer services to all the Mexicans in Colorado,"
said Mario
Hernandez, spokesman for the Denver consulate. "If it
were not for these mobile consulates, we wouldn't be able to
reach out to them." [This is clearly a violation of U.S.
sovereignty by the corrupt Mexican government, and it needs to
be dealt with immediately. They should be dealing with this scam
on the premises of their consulates only, not on U.S. soil.] |

Over, Bush Backing Amnesty Again
No sooner had his party won the November
elections than President
Bush let it be known that he really is pursuing amnesty for
millions of illegal Mexican aliens after all. -- Mr. Bush was
not honest enough to admit this to the American people himself,
but it escaped the lips of his
new ambassador to Mexico nevertheless, almost certainly with
the president's permission so as to break the grim news to the
public and his own party as discreetly as possible.... |

wanted to sue the city of L.A. and L.A. County
Los Angeles leaders have virtually welcomed
illegal alien gang members, criminals, and terrorists, to come
to our city. They have done this with Special Order 40 which
mandates that the LAPD not cooperate with the INS in identifying
and deporting illegal alien gang members, criminals (see Doc
1 and Doc 2). Special Order 40 is not a law -- it is a Los Angeles
Police Department mandate issued in 1979 by then police chief

Cheap
tuition sought for scofflaws
A coalition of immigrant-rights groups
is drafting legislation that would allow thousands of immigrants,
many undocumented, to attend state colleges at the lower tuition
rate offered to Massachusetts residents. -- If the Massachusetts
Immigrant and Refugee Coalition succeeds, Massachusetts would
join Texas, California, New York, and Utah in allowing undocumented
immigrants to circumvent a federal law that requires them to
pay the out-of-state tuition rate, which runs as high as three
times the cost. |

Mexican IDs make life easier for invading moochers
As the Mexican immigrant community in

begin to open doors for those who aren't here legally. -- The
matricula consular, an identification card issued to Mexican
nationals in other countries, is now accepted by some Columbus
banks to open an account. Advocates for immigrants hope local

seek anti-INS resolution (despite national security threat)
Grass-roots organizers in Montgomery
County [Maryland] want lawmakers to pass a resolution that would

local governments across the country that have passed resolutions

the act a "repressive Bush administration measure."

Jobless
swell clinic's rolls
Every layoff in Silicon Valley leaves
not only one more unemployed worker but also one more unemployed
worker without medical insurance. As the jobless ranks grow,
one free health care clinic in Mountain View -- traditionally

workers filing into its waiting room. -- "There's always
been an uninsured immigrant population,'' said Dr. Erica Weirich,
a family practitioner who donates her time to treat RotaCare

as much as private insurance. -- In El Paso, an anesthesiologist
who works eight to 12 hours a day -- and most do -- will bill
$200,000 to $250,000 a year, not all of which gets paid. |

Should
immigrants be taxed?
According to recent studies, Latino immigrants
sent a record $23 billion in remittances home in 2001, despite
a tough economy and supposedly increased security on the border.
Of that amount, more than $14 billion went to Mexico and Central
America alone, up $4 billion from just two years ago. -- While
substantial money hemorrhages out of America, border-area hospitals
have been overwhelmed by the needs of these same generous immigrants,
who can afford to part with an average of $300 per money transfer. |
News-Register Editorial
Immigrants
Must Play by the Rules
President Bush's administration seems
poised to provide about 3 million reasons why no one who wants
to live in the United States should worry about anything as apparently
meaningless as the law. If the White House proceeds, it might
as well simply throw the nation's borders open to anyone. --
Americans took a hard look at immigration policy after terrorist
attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 - and after the recession made it evident
that there are not enough jobs to go around even for all U.S.
citizens, much less for millions of illegal aliens. |

Mexicans pushing sham IDs nationwide
West Columbia, CA - At El Rincon Vaquero
trading post here in West Columbia, S.C., votive candles compete
with cowboy hats and jars of dark mole for shelf space. The colorful
shop is a slice of Mexico in the middle of a rundown neighborhood.
But one day this month, El Rincon Vaquero became, through a bit
of diplomatic magic, an actual outpost of Mexico. -- In an aggressive
- some say subversive - new gambit, the Mexican government is
sending its deputies through the American countryside, setting
up shop in strip malls and schools, and handing out new Mexican
ID cards called matricula consulars for $29. [Mexico is one of the world's most

Study
claims immigrant workers important
"A new study of census data concludes
that recent immigrants were critical to the nation's economic
growth in the past decade, accounting for half of the new wage
earners who joined the labor force in those years," the
Washington Post reports. The study by the Center for Labor Market
Studies "cited evidence that the entry of many poorly educated
immigrants into the workforce has held back wages of the lowest-paid
American-born workers. And [report author Andrew] Sum said U.S.-born
workers can be shunted aside when the economy slackens because
employers often prefer to hire immigrants, believing that they
work harder." |

...As hundreds of thousands of other

Miguel -- "No green card, don't use full name," he

card that smoothes daily life in the United States for Mexicans,
like Miguel, living here with no driver's license, Social Security
card or other official form of identification. -- The
matricula is a Mexican government document that certifies
the name and age of the bearer. It has been used, in various
forms, for more than a century. [Mexico is one of the world's most corrupt nations.] |

Pope John Paul condemned xenophobia on
Monday, saying too many people were being excluded from a better

-- Saying solidarity did not come easily, he urged people to
open their minds and hearts "and learn to discern in people
of other cultures the handiwork of God". -- In a message
for the upcoming World Day of Migrants and Refugees, the Pontiff
urged communities to "pass from mere tolerance of others
to real respect for their differences". [Remember
