Palominas, AZ -- March 9, 2003 (ABP) -- Following the successful apprehension of six Suspected Border Intruders on a report from American Border Patrol, ABP "Hawkeyes" reported that departing BP agents honked and waived at them as they departed the scene. " I have the distinct feeling that most Border Patrol Agents appreciate the fact that we are all on the same side of this issue," observed Glenn Spencer, Executive Director of American Border Patrol. During the current mission, ABP has reported a total of 53 SBIs that were apprehended by the BP.

Casper Star-Tribune (Wyoming)
Jackson's Spanish-language paper hopes to go statewide
The publisher of the Hispanic newspaper La Voz hopes to achieve statewide circulation by April. --- The newspaper also seeks to mobilize the Hispanic community, such as by garnering support for legislation that seeks, in part, to legalize all undocumented immigrants in the U.S. who have petitioned for legalization. The legislation would also create a new, ''temporary residence'' status that would give immigrants the right to live and work in the U.S. for three years. [The economy is in the tank, and we need 'guest workers'?]

Letters to the Washington Times
Paying for illegal aliens
The social costs to New York, California, Texas and Arizona are extremely high and climbing ("Senators seek funds for aliens' medical care," Nation, Wednesday). Hospitals are shutting down and cutting back services because of the high costs of taking care of undocumented workers who apparently are not being paid enough to buy their own insurance. -- The solution seems clear tome. Given the tremendous benefits they bring to certain states, raise those states' taxes.

Legislation gets tough on visa process
...Congressman Ron Paul (R-Clute) introduced legislation more commonly known as the Terror Immigration Elimination Act of 2003, which seeks to better scrutinize student and diversity visas issued to Saudi Arabian nationals as well as those from Iraq, Libya, Sudan and other countries that are reported to harbor terrorists.

The borders need more attention
Just when I think that Col. Jay Wagner could not possibly write a better letter, doggone if he don't come along and write a better letter. --- I was pleased that he made a point about the desire for cheap labor. Cheap labor is the catalyst for illegal immigration and our Congress still continues to do absolutely nothing to bring about illegal/legal immigration reform in America...

CongressMechista Grijalva won't be there
...Rep. John Shadegg, Arizona's only member on the new U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security, will be among those at a congressional field hearing on Monday in Sells on "The Impact of the Drug Trade on Border Security and National Parks." -- However, Rep. Raul Grijalva, a freshman Democrat whose district includes Sells, won't attend, although he has generated headlines - and controversy - for his efforts to get federal authorities to crack down on border vigilantism, which he has termed "a racist movement."

Letters to the Arizona Daily Star
Readers decry bogus Mexican ID acceptance
...The last remarkable assertion was that Arizona cities should be left alone to "manage their own affairs" regarding the Matricula Consular. So the Star believes cities should make immigration policy? -- They are right about one thing. Illegal immigration is more than a "black and white" morality issue. Its an issue of continued survival of this nation.

A Message from Mexico
The brutal murder in Mexico of 23-year-old U.S. Border Patrol agent Jorge Luis Salomon - killed apparently because of his employment - is a tragedy. It is also a chilling example in microcosm of how the United States and many of its people refuse to recognize the threat that Mexico poses - even in the face of overwhelming evidence.

MetroWest Daily News (Massachusetts)
Illegals in a dither over their own secondary crimes
As the Registry of Motor Vehicles continues to send letters canceling driver's licenses obtained through a suspected crime ring, the panic level is rising among illegal immigrants. -- Afraid that immigration officials may knock on their doors ready to deport them, some people are moving out of MetroWest, many are swamping civic groups asking for advice and others are packing their belongings to leave the country.

Arizona Republic Editorial
Immigration: a bad scene is getting worse
As a response to calls for immigration reform, it is unacceptable. As an excuse from elected officials for inaction, it is unconscionable. -- But that's the word from Washington, where they say immigration reform is unlikely this year. -- Some are trying. -- Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl are pushing to get federal reimbursement for the health care costs of providing federally mandated emergency services to illegal immigrants. Their efforts are right on.

Credit union aids and abets invading foreigners
The first time Carlos Quezada bought a used car, he borrowed $8,000 and paid 30 percent interest on it over two years. The interest rate on his second used car wasn't much better -- 29%. -- Portland-area lending agencies told the Mexico City native that the high interest was necessary because he couldn't prove legal residence here and he didn't have a credit history....
