Immigrant
mothers having lots of kids, and having them early
Immigrant women in Minnesota are having
more children than native-born Americans, and having them much
earlier in life, state officials reported on Monday. -- That's
good news for schools and employers, both of which are bracing
for shortages of young people in the years to come. -- But there
is concern about the way it's happening. For instance, immigrants
are more than twice as likely as natives to have children while
in their late teens, the State Demographer's Office reported.
-- "We don't want that," said Ilean Her of the state's
Council on Asian-Pacific Minnesotans, an advisory group. "That
is a group at high
risk for poverty. It's not good." |

Putting

What I neglected to say in "Put
'Open Borders' Where the Sun Doesn't Shine" is this:
The United States, when founded, was an IDEAL, not simply a piece
of border-defined real estate. -- The Founders knew, and clearly
stated, that, for the freedoms of this nation to exist and to
persist, it was necessary to have a certain mindset amongst the
citizenry, and the necessary education to history and to the
rights and responsibilities of the individual.... |

call me a vigilante
I am a successful rancher in Arizona,
and facing daily danger from the illegal aliens who sneak across
the border with their knives and handguns and play havoc with
my family, my home, and my property. -- You heard right. It's
no longer just illegal aliens jumping the border and harassing
us, now it's ARMED illegal aliens jumping the border and threatening
me and my neighbors with pistols and knives. |

jobs Americans won't do] |

Taxpayers
pay for illegal entrants' use of social services
...It is past time that our legislators
did something about the illegal entrants here in Arizona. Our
state is $1 billion in the hole. -- California, which has a larger
number of illegal entrants, has a budget deficit of $30 billion.
-- If illegal entrants are such an economic asset, why do these
large deficits exist? Why are the schools, hospitals, prisons
and welfare system in trouble? |

Bill
would sink Mexican ID card
Colorado Congressman Tom
Tancredo has stepped forward to become a champion for the
60% of Americans who see present U.S. immigration levels as a
"critical threat to America's vital interests." Last
week, the Congressman, whose pro-borders positions have drawn
severe public attacks from ethnic-identity special interests,
and political strategists in the Bush Administration, continued
his efforts opposing illegal immigration by introducing in Congress
H.R. 502.

immigrant drivers stalled without SS card
While public debate simmers over driver's
licenses for illegal immigrants, some legal immigrants in Georgia
are quietly losing driving privileges. -- State lawmakers passed
a law last year requiring as of Jan. 1 a Social Security number
for anyone to apply for a Georgia driver's license. --- Sen.
Sam Zamarripa (D-Atlanta) said Friday he will introduce a
bill that would recognize driver's licenses from other nations
as a valid form of identification when applying for a Georgia
license. [How does this assure that the driver knows U.S. driving
rules? How long would it take for the corrupt Mexican Governmet
to start selling licenses to illegals at their numerous consulates?] |

Fake
IDs - A Real Homeland Security Challenge
The news headline is startling: Undercover
Agents Able To Cross Our Borders With Bogus IDs. -- According
to a report by the General Accounting Office, undercover investigators
were easily able to enter the United States from Canada, Mexico
and Jamaica using phony IDs that were made using ordinary computer
equipment. These agents determined that border officials did
not realize that the holograms on their fake licenses were not
genuine, and that the birth certificates they used had no watermarks. |

Probe

An investigation of the shooting at a
U.S. Border Patrol vehicle from what appeared to be a Mexican
military vehicle has been closed with no arrests, according to
FBI spokeswoman Susan Herskovits. -- "We have closed that
case because we do not have any possible leads or suspects,"
Herskovits said. -- "The border is a dangerous place. That's
what happens," Tucson Border Patrol spokesman Frank Amarillas
said. --- T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol
Council union, said he's not surprised the case is closed. --
"That's
a predictable result. It seems Mexico can do whatever they want
to us and nothing happens," Bonner said. "What's wrong
with this picture?" |

Six
immigration myths
The trouble with the debate over immigration
is that sophisms and bumper sticker slogans too often crowd out
serious discussion. According to a whole host of polls, Americans
of all ethnic groups understand that the system is broken and
would like it reformed. Yet a series of myths has risen up around
the immigration policy status quo in order to sustain it; these
must be refuted in the interest of the majority that supports
reform.... |
