Invaders
as victims: Judge may grant permanent residency
Two-dozen illegal immigrants who survived
a harrowing trip aboard an unventilated tractor-trailer rig and
testified against their smugglers may get help from a federal
judge and prosecutors in their bid to seek permanent legal residency
in this country.  |

The
browning of America
It is ironic how the issue of cultural
identity has been bastardized in the mainstream press in the
name of multiculturalism. Sadly, generations of Americans have
grown up in the heartland or other ethnically diverse regions
of the country without ever coming to terms with their own culture
or roots... |

What
Americans Are Saying About Illegal Immigration
Each week, newspapers across the nation
report on illegal immigration as if it's a soap opera drama desperate
for sympathy and acceptance. "We came here for a better
life," a mother of six sobs into the journalist's tape recorder.
"My children deserve an education.." -- One week, papers
report on a child from Latin America whose parents smuggled her
into the United States for a heart transplant at $200,000.00.

No
history, no study, no debate
The Associated Press and various newspapers
reported this month that UCLA's Chicano Studies Research Center
released a "study" that recommended allowing California's
4.6 million noncitizens to vote in local elections. -- But there
was no study. There was no new research or in-depth information....

Latino
workers struggling (More day labor headaches)
...In many ways, it's a win-win situation.
Companies get access to workers in an area known for its labor
shortage, allowing some to cut back on recruiting expenses. Immigrant
workers earn more than they could dream of back home. -- Who
loses? -- Some longtime local residents say they do.

Offers a Superior Alternative to Massive Immigration
Whether you think that current levels
of immigration, legal and illegal, represent a danger or an opportunity,
one fact should be clear: the billions of people unhappy with
their economic situation cannot be accommodated with a green
card to the land of opportunity. The idea that opening America
to millions of foreigners... |

George
W. Bush, our first Mexican president
...I may not be the first to call George
W. Bush our first Mexican president, but that's what this guy
is. Saying it, is an idea whose time has come. I figure he probably
has White House meals catered by a roach coach that plays La
Cucaracha on it's horn as it lurches up Pennsylvania Avenue.
Maybe the presidential portrait will be done on black velvet....

More
grousing over repeal of invader license law
...No one denies that these immigrants
are in violation of the law. But the other side of the story
is that they came here to work in jobs that Americans won't take
because the wages are too low [illegals
are prohibited by law from working in the U.S.].
Undocumented immigrants
[criminals] have played - and continue to play - a vital
role in the development of California's economy and society.

IDs a fact of life for many
Beardstown Ill. - As Beardstown residents
struggled to find common ground with their new neighbors, one
issue kept them apart: Many of the Hispanics working at Excel

illegally in the United States. -- By 1998, Excel's work
force had grown to nearly 2,000 employees, about 30 percent of
them Hispanic..... |

DMV's
documentation hurdles get higher in new year
People could face a tougher time getting
a driver's license or photo identification from the Virginia
Department of Motor Vehicles, come Jan. 1. -- New rules will
require people seeking an original license or ID to provide written
proof - such as a birth certificate, passport or resident-alien
card - that they're in Virginia legally, either as U.S. citizens
or permitted visitors. |
