Prepare to Get Shafted
Rumor: Congress will return after the election
for a lame-duck session. Underhanded deals dealt the American
people during lame-duck sessions include NAFTA. Expect the Congress
to stick it to the American people and drop the immigration reform
elements of the new Intelligence bill. |

And The Unmentionable Question Of Ethnic Interests
Arguments over immigration are usually
limited to cultural or economic factors. Political scientists
like Samuel Huntington point out that the culture of the country
will change dramatically if there is a continued influx of Spanish-speaking
immigrants. And economists like George Borjas have demonstrated

monitor Arizona's Prop. 200
Ben Monterroso, a Mexican-born labor
leader [and a
very troublesome reconquista], is now a U.S. citizen because
of California's Proposition 187, which once denied services to
illegal immigrants. Chris Watford, born and raised in Roswell,
is now an anti-immigration activist because of that same law's
legacy. -- Come Election Day, both will watch Arizonans vote
on Proposition 200, an immigration law known as "son of
187"... |

going after illegals prosecutors investigated FAIR but it looks

thinking it over.] [See

Arizona's
Prop 200 Returns to Earth
Bankrolled by their generous union treasury,
the SEIU union
filed two separate legal actions, first in Arizona Superior and
then Arizona Appellate Court. After both courts dismissed
the complaints in mid-August, SEIU abandoned appeals to the AZ
Supreme Court. We haven't seen the last of them - they'll
resume their court antics after the initiative passes. |

Illegal Alien Swing Vote
The right to vote is precious, the politicians
preach. Our democracy hangs in the balance, the pundits screech.
-- Yes, but if we all value the sanctity of the voting process
so highly, why is it that I've never once been asked to produce
identification of any kind in the 16 years I've been a voter,
