O'Reilly Cannot Ignore TIME
Report

The
O'Reilly Factor (Fox News Channel,
September 17)
In an apparent change of heart, Fox Television News star Bill
O'Reilly has once again taken on the issue of illegal immigration
--- without spinning.
O'Reilly: "Homeland Security is supposed to protect
every American; you, me, and everybody watching right now. Yet,
Homeland Security has ignored the Mexican border, or am I wrong?"
Erick Stakelbeck (The Investigative Project): "No,
you are absolutely right. The border is completely insecure.
Why have a Department of Homeland Security if you're not going
to secure the borders?... People from countries like Iran, Syria,
Iraq - when they cross the border and are captured they're pretty
much let go." |

Indentured
workers in Atlanta
An Atlanta company that has supplied
granite countertops to Home Depot stores across the Southeast
since 1997 built its business on the backs of potentially hundreds
of indentured workers, federal prosecutors say. -- Johannes Du
Preez, president of Newton Granite & Marble Inc., was arrested
in late August as the alleged ringleader of a scheme that enticed
South African nationals to Georgia with work visas... |

does not see Douglas duo targeted by FBI as threat
...Glenn Spencer, head of the American
Border Patrol, is another man who wants the border controlled
and illegal activities stopped. --- To a degree the American
Border Patrol, which is not associated with the U.S. Border Patrol,
has pioneered the use of small unmanned aerial vehicles and up-to-date
sensor technology along the border. The Department of Homeland
Security is testing pilotless planes long after the nonprofit
group proved their worth, he said. |

outlaws demand "licenses now!"
"Licenses now! Licenses now!";
"We can do it! We can do it!", chanted the crowd. --
"Estamos Unidos" (We Are United) collected hundreds
of signatures in support of its demand, which later they will
try to hand in to Gov. Sonny Perdue. Several initiatives in Georgia
to grant driving licenses to undocumented aliens have been defeated,
while Tennessee has approved "driving certificates..." |

Illegal Immigration: The candidates won't
touch this issue. Businesses, unions and bureaucrats look the
other way or undermine the law. But voters - and even the media
- may have other ideas. -- Is America's establishment finally
waking up to the fact that the country has a serious, dangerous
border problem? One sign of raised consciousness, currently on
newsstands, is a
Time magazine cover story that sounds the alarm about illegal
immigration... |

FBI
agents shoot border watchdog
The violent arrest this week of a former
Ranch Rescue member near Douglas has recast attention on the
handful of armed civilian groups operating in southern Arizona
and re-exposed the volatile atmosphere along the border over
illegal immigration. -- For the past several years, the groups
have been launching armed patrols as part of an unofficial effort
to protect ranches and other private property from undocumented
immigrants [criminals] and drug smugglers. |

Search
on for illegal aliens
The basement office of the Fugitive Operations
squad in San Diego is barely big enough for its four full-time
agents. So when the team borrows nine other Department of Homeland
Security agents for a night out, they gather in a nearby garage.
-- "We're looking to do things really quickly," supervisory
deportation officer Marc Rapp tells the crew he splits into three
teams -- Alpha, Bravo and Charlie. "It should be a pretty
easy evening." |

An
Italian American Says Basta! To Hispanic Heritage Month
...By an odd coincidence, National Hispanic
Heritage Month conflicts with Italian American Heritage Month,
celebrated from October 1st to October 31st. -- Which is bad
enough. But as an Italian American reared by parents and grandparents
who loved the United States, I'm miffed that any month at all
is dedicated to people whose allegiance to our country is questionable-at
least in some cases. |

So-called
'chamber of commerce' wants parity for Mexicans
A high-ranking Homeland
Security official [the useless Asa
Hutchinson] said Thursday that the Bush administration "wants
to treat all international guests the same" but could not
offer assurances that Mexican visitors would be treated equally
with Canadians. -- The Bush administration recently decided to
allow Mexican visitors entering the U.S. under the US-VISIT program
to stay 30 days [another monumental Bush
blunder]... |

Open-border
crackpot Cannon still ruffling feathers in Utah
...[RINO Rep. Chris]
Cannon's opponent, Democrat Beau
Babka, is right in calling Cannon's approach to immigration
reform "reckless and foolhardy." Voters in this November
election, regardless of party affiliation, need to ask themselves
which candidate will best represent their views and interests
in Congress. Babka is sounding pretty good to this Republican.
[Note: American Patrol is endorsing Babka
in this race] |

200 Grant Woods' credibility questioned
A leading proponent of Protect Arizona Now is
questioning Grant Woods' credibility to fight the ballot initiative
because he hired an undocumented British nanny when he was the
state's attorney general more than a decade ago. -- The state
director of the effort that put Proposition
200 on the Nov. 2 ballot said this week that talking about
Woods' past legal troubles with immigration authorities is important
because he's the chairman of the Arizonans for Real Immigration
[a bunch of open-border zealots]... |

Co. closes hospitals, squanders millions on boondoggle
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors
on Tuesday approved a plan to build a $70-million Mexican American
cultural complex across from the historic Olvera Street plaza.
-- Supervisor Gloria Molina, who spearheaded the project and
will help pay for it with public funds from her discretionary
account, called the planned Plaza de Cultura y Artes a "lifelong
dream" that will become one of the cultural jewels of Los
