Spain
spends heavily to bar illegal migrants
...Under pressure from the rest of Europe,
Spain has been spending heavily, buying patrol boats, helicopters,
night-vision scopes and heat-seeking cameras, all focused on
the strait, from Barbate to Algeciras, and beyond Gibraltar,
along the coast almost as far as Málaga. -- According
to the European Union, of the nearly half a million illegal migrants
who come to Europe every year, one-fourth come via Spain. The
reasons are evident. |

Immigration
at center stage in Rep. race
Framingham, Mass. -- While the candidates
for the 6th Middlesex District state representative seat acknowledge
illegal immigration is a federal issue, that hasn't stopped them
from talking about it on the campaign trail. -- Republican Nicolas
Sanchez, who came to the United States from Cuba as a child,
sees "a tremendous amount of social conflict" among
immigrants, saying illegal immigrants are getting too much of
a free ride. |

Phoenix
crackdown on invaders reducing some crime
Violence linked to illegal immigration
boiled over late last year in Arizona when a group of migrant
smugglers driving on an interstate fatally shot four people as
retaliation against a rival gang that had stolen its customers.
-- The government had already realized by that point that its
efforts to reduce smuggling-related murders, kidnappings and
extortion around Phoenix weren't doing the trick. |

Bush,
Kerry and the stakes for Mexico
Mexico's Foreign Secretary Luis
Ernesto Derbez has said that when it comes to the areas of
U.S. policy that really matter to Mexico, economic integration
and migration, it doesn't matter who wins the U.S. presidential
election. -- "There is very little difference," he
told international relations students at the Universidad Iberoamericana
last Monday, "because the themes central to the U.S. - Mexico
relationship are now clearly placed on the table and the solutions
continue to be the same." [This is a lie, Mexican style.
Kerry is a Catholic and is much deeper into the Mexican camp.
Kerry campaign co-chairs include former
East L.A. gangster Villaraigosa and disgraced
liar Cisneros] |

invaders snivel about not having licenses
...Despite being in the United States
for 14 years, holding down jobs [illegals are prohibited by law from working in the
U.S. per the Immigration Act of 1965]
that contribute taxes to the state and having two of their four
children here, the Sotos remain undocumented [criminals].
They have been trying to legalize their immigration status, Sota
says, but in the meantime driving is both a necessity and a cause
for fear. |

turning Sequoia Nat'l Forest into pot plantation
"We're No. 1 in the state and in

getting fed up as more jobs are lost to Mexico
In the expansive Osram Sylvania plant
alongside Interstate 95, most of the 66 remaining employees already
feel abandoned even though the facility won't be boarded up for
another six months. On Friday afternoon, after their shifts ended,
seven of the workers stood outside the building under the shadow
of a for-sale sign to voice their disgust about the way they
feel Osram's corporate office has handled its October 2002 decision
to ship the local jobs and equipment to Mexico. |
