Lawmakers said yesterday they don't know
how many illegal aliens attend Virginia's public colleges and
universities, but none of them should get a tuition discount.

schools to document." -- Mr. Kilgore, a Republican, is supporting
legislation scheduled for debate today in the House of Delegates
that would require illegal aliens to pay full tuition while in
a Virginia community college, college or university. |

authorizes foreigners to sponsor immigrants to the U.S
Conventional wisdom holds that only U.S.
citizens can sponsor foreigners to come to America. Even then,
such petitions are limited to immediate family members and subject
to substantial delays. Congress, however, has provided a loophole
that grants foreigners the authority to petition family, friends,
and associates to immediately migrate to the United States..... |

More
countries issue sham ID cards to illegal aliens in U.S.
Guatemala, Honduras, Poland, Peru and
El Salvador, aware of Mexico's success in getting identification
cards to its citizens in the United States, including those here
illegally, have begun or are considering issuing cards of their
own, federal officials said yesterday. -- Known as "matricula
consular cards," the digitally-coded documents are being
used by Mexican nationals in the United States as legal forms
of identification, giving the holders the ability to apply for
social services, open bank accounts, cash checks, sign lease
and rental agreements, and board airplanes. [The

Ted
Kennedy's Pro-Terror Agenda
Since its inception last year, the National
Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS) has stopped
330 known foreign criminals and three known terrorists who attempted
to come into the country at certain official ports of entry.
In addition, the targeted registration of certain foreign nationals
already in the country has resulted in the apprehension of 15
illegal alien felons. -- Naturally, Sen. Teddy Kennedy, D-Afghanistan,
wants to stop the Bush administration from using NSEERS to catch
any more criminal aliens and illegal aliens who pose law enforcement
threats to America. |
