Sensenbrenner Shows Backbone

House
Leadership Blocks Vote on Intelligence Bill
...House and Senate negotiators
said that Mr. Sensenbrenner had been equally responsible for
the decision to block a vote on the bill, which did not include
a variety of provisions he had championed to broaden the powers
of law-enforcement and immigration agencies.
They said Mr. Sensenbrenner had been
adamant that the bill include a provision to create federal standards
for drivers' licenses to prevent them from being issued to illegal
immigrants, a move widely criticized by civil liberties groups
as a step toward a national identification card.
"Regrettably, the Senate thus far has been hellbent on ensuring
illegal aliens can receive drivers' licenses, regardless of the
security concerns," Mr. Sensenbrenner said in a statement. |

fight targets smugglers
Tucson -- Authorities are concerned al-Qaida
or other terrorist groups could conspire with smuggling organizations
to bring weapons of mass destruction across the Arizona border,
an immigration official has said. -- Fear that terrorists might
attempt to bring in nuclear weapons or other terror instruments
was one reason U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was formed
after the Sept. 11, 2001... [and never did a thing about the
border]. |

Bush's
immigration proposal is unwise
With the election just over, the Bush administration
is resuming immigration talks with Mexico. President Bush would
make a costly mistake if he believes that his re-election means
strong support for his de facto amnesty proposal. Further, if
passed, his plan would seriously exacerbate major problems of
concern to Americans... |

Says Immigration Reform Coming In 2nd Term
President George W. Bush has told his
Mexican counterpart he campaigned for re-election on immigration reform [that's news to us... Bush avoided the issue like the
plague] and is ready to push it
in a second term. -- The president met with Vicente Fox just
before they and other Pacific Rim leaders sat down for a second
day of talks in Chile. |

Unthinkable?
Imagine a relatively small nuclear bomb
of 10 kilotons exploding in San Francisco's Union Square. "Everything
to the Museum of Modern Art would vaporize," writes Harvard

Terrorism." -- "Everything from the Transamerica building
to Nob Hill would be sites of massive destruction; everything
within the perimeter of Coit Tower ..." |

Patrol union: High-tech systems overlook value of agents
As the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
prepares to spend millions of dollars on inkless fingerprinting
and photographing many U.S. visitors, Border Patrol union officials
are saying that those and other high-tech counterterrorism investments
carry a price tag that is hampering other types of more effective
enforcement. |

Temecula, Calif. -- About 25 protesters
waved placards with slogans decrying undocumented immigrants.
Nearby stood a half- dozen men, protesting the protesters. --
"Our goal," said Arne Chandler of Citizens' Alliance
for a Secure America, "has been to put some pressure on
Mayor Naggar and the City Council. I got here at 7:30, and there
were about 50 illegals. They quickly dispersed...." |

A
Disaster Waiting to Happen
Current immigration mess is a disaster waiting
to happen. Or, to be more precise, a disaster that is in the
process of happening. And I don't mean by that another act of
terrorism similar to 9-11 attacks, although it certainly is a
very real possibility that a terrorist organization may smuggle
its operatives and weapons through largely unenforced American-
Mexican border... |

reform stalled by GOP foes
... [Rep. James] Sensenbrenner's (R-WI)
opposition focused on immigration provisions dropped in the negotiations'
final hours. Those provisions, important to many House Republicans
who feel illegal immigration is out of control, would have made
it easier to deport alien suspects and deny drivers licenses
to undocumented immigrants
[criminals], among other things. |
