Up! -- Strange stuff is happening
Roger [Hedgecock] gets source info about
last week's pick up truck load of illegals that crashed at the
Descanso crossing of I-8. Nutball load driver at least stays
on the westbound side of the hiway but loses control and so far
we got two dead. But the story gets a little strange at the accident
scene. Some guy from the Mexican consulate's office is on scene
very pronto and some say he was wearing an INS I.D. badge. |

Border
report rational
...This writer has lived near the border
for many years and owns substantial properties along this border.
I find this wild criticism of the so-called "American
Border Patrol," by those who are not in any way involved,
to be unthinking and irrational. -- There was a day when, in
my over 50 years here on the border, we sympathized with illegal
immigrants passing by and offered nourishment and good wishes.
-- However, having recently been chased by armed illegals, having
been vandalized or burglarized several time..... |

decry CongressMechista Grijalva
Actually, the racist U.S. Rep. Raúl
Grijalva, D-Ariz., should be investigated for encouraging illegals
to break U.S. law and he should be prosecuted for creating the
atmosphere and opportunity for terrorists to breach our border
and kill U.S. citizens. -- I look forward to seeing the racist
Rep. Grijalva prosecuted under the Patriot Act and sent to prison. |

Immigration
and International Political Responsibility
A former diplomat and visa officer, I
have been considering immigration questions for over 35 years.
Over this period great changes have taken place in both the law
and in the magnitude of immigration into the United States. Sept.
11 and Homeland Security have brought the situation into sharp
focus. -- Indeed, the 2000 Census showed, I believe, our population
to be some 7 million larger than estimated. Surprise, anyone? |

Latinos fret INS split
Salinas, California -- ...There's a big
bureaucratic change coming March 1, when the U.S. Immigration
and Naturalization Service is folded into two agencies under
the new Homeland Security Department. -- Some foresee longer
waits, higher costs, more restrictions and, possibly, an upswing
in local enforcement against illegal immigrants. -- U.S. Rep.
Sam Farr, whose office has one of the heaviest immigration caseloads
in Congress, said, "I'm very, very concerned about the breakup." |

New
scrutiny at the border
...On the surface, life in far northern
New Hampshire continues just as it always has. But in the months
since the Sept. 11 attacks, the government has gone to extraordinary
lengths to increase security along the Canadian border. And in
a variety of ways - some more intrusive than others - the government
is making its presence increasingly known. --- ...When residents
cross the Canadian border - and perhaps more important, when
they return to the U.S. - they now face more scrutiny than ever
before. |

Why
import more farm workers when we have too many?
Seeking "a more humane solution,"
as The Bee's editorial phrased it, to America's current immigration
system is a worthwhile aim. Unfortunately, the editorial promoting
a "guest-worker" program for agriculture works in the
opposite direction. -- Cesar Chavez believed agribusiness' chief
farm labor strategy for decades was maintaining a surplus labor
supply to keep wages and benefits depressed, and fight unionization.
It's simple economics. If there is too much of a product, that
lowers its price. |

Dismantle
border, Canadian group advises
The Canadian Council of Chief Executives
wants to dramatically remake Canada-U.S. relations, calling for
the creation of a jointly managed North American perimeter [presumably
including crime and corruption-bloated Mexico] with a common
approach to borders, trade, immigration, security and defence.
-- ''What we are really talking about is totally reinventing
the border. The border should no longer been seen as a demarcation
line between Canada and the United States. It should simply be
an internal checkpoint,'' said Tom D'Aquino, president of the
CCE, which represents Canada's 150 largest corporations. |

Another
Ariz. city accepts sham Mexican IDs, Mexican gloats
Somerton is the first city in Yuma County
to provide public services to residents who display a new identification
card that some said illegal immigrants will use to take advantage
of the government. -- Mexican Consulate officials issue the card.
"It's a gigantic step for the county," said Juan Gabriel
Morales, deputy consul of Yuma. -- David Ray, a spokesman for
the Washington, D.C.-based Federation for American Immigration
Reform, opposes the card. "Local and state governments are
intent on turning a blind eye to illegal immigration," he
said. |

Kidnappings
rise as migrant smuggling gets lucrative
Phoenix -- Kidnappings of illegal migrants
are rising in this city as the business of smuggling people across
the U.S.-Mexico border gets more lucrative and violent, police
say. -- After guiding clients through the southern Arizona desert,
some smugglers who receive half their fee up front hold migrants
captive until the remainder is paid. -- Migrant smugglers, known
also as "coyotes," also steal their competitors' clients
and hold them until family or friends pay ransoms. -- In other
cases, smugglers squeeze families for money by randomly kidnapping
illegal border-crossers already working in Arizona. |

Grijalva is an embarrassment
Raul
Grijalva shows himself to be, at first opportunity, a man
with little or no intellect and no shame, who chooses not to
represent Arizona and the United States, but the illegal immigrants
who are a plague, a threat and a burden to our state as well
as our country. -- The fear on the border comes not from good
citizens who are trying to do what our government has failed
to do - secure our borders - but from the invasion into, and
on, the land, homes and rights of those who live in proximity
to Mexico. |

Drug
rings reach northwest Georgia
Dalton, Georgia - Jaime Peralta ran an
operation that smuggled 30 pounds of methamphetamine into Dalton
each month, but his story is less about one drug trafficker than
it is about how authorities think northwest Georgia has become
a drug wholesale hub. -- It is an uncomfortable picture for politicians
and Chamber of Commerce types because police believe Peralta
capitalized on some of the very attributes that have made this
Whitfield County seat a model for integrating Latinos into daily
life. |

of how little seriousness is being placed on monitoring those

also known as the Matricula

Letter To Ashcroft About Immigration Law Enforcement
Dear Attorney General Ashcroft: Dear
Attorney General Ashcroft: The time is fast approaching when
you will surrender the Immigration and Naturalization Service
the pride of the Justice Department to the new Department
of Homeland Security. But take heart. -- You still control the
one agency within the Department of Justice that is the power
behind the scenes in immigration law enforcement - and also the
greatest obstacle to real immigration reform in the federal government:
the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). |
