on day laborer pest headaches in Redondo Beach
Redondo Beach, Calif. -- ...Cities such
as Thousand Oaks, another Los Angeles suburb, and Hoover, Ala.,
set aside space for workers to gather and even to take English
classes. Others, from Prince William County, Va., to Redondo
Beach, have decided the best way to handle public complaints
about the pick up spots is to move the men along with citations
- and arrests. |

opines against rounding up day laborer pests
In Prince William County, police have
busied themselves lately rounding up the usual suspects: Hispanic
day laborers with the temerity to congregate in front of a 7-Eleven
on Route 1 each morning awaiting the chance of employment as
construction workers, landscapers or house painters [which is
illegal]. Ostensibly, their crime was loitering (translation:
being annoying to local merchants); there were mutterings about
public urination... |

barrier delaying justice
For six months, Octavio Luis Perez has
sat silent in a jail cell, his justice delayed until linguists
can identify his language. -- Their closest guess so far: an
exotic dialect of the high villages of Guatemala and Mexico.
-- But police suggest the suspect, accused of rape and kidnapping,
is feigning an inability to speak Spanish in hopes of faking
his way out of the system. |

Invaders:
Washington stiffs California taxpayers again
Oblivious to the mounting federal deficit,
there's little for which our elected officials in the nation's
capital won't spend money -- except, that is, cleaning up their
own mess in California. -- Just look at Congress' recently approved
$388 billion spending package. The bill includes no shortage
of pork and the usual political nonsense, but only a paltry $305
million to reimburse state and local governments that foot the
bill for Washington's failed immigration policies... |

blame America (as usual)
November 26 -- Yesterday on Spanish TV, a Mexican
Senator said (in Spanish, of course) how he strongly believes
the U.S. should stop all these Mexicans from flowing over the
border because so many are dying in the desert! I personally
believe he feels so strongly because he as well as probably the
folks who "think" in Mexico... |

Invasion!:
Arizona's border the one to sneak across
Arizona has achieved a dubious distinction:
For the first time, the state reported more apprehensions of
illegal immigrants than California, New Mexico and Texas combined.
-- The latest landmark from fiscal 2004 numbers comes after seven
consecutive years in which the Border Patrol's Tucson sector
led the nation in apprehensions. [See: What

Washington -- President Bush says he
will try for the third time in three years to persuade the Republican-led
Congress to grant temporary worker status to many of the millions
of foreigners living in the United States without government

his earlier efforts, including opposition from conservative Republicans
who regard his plan as amnesty to lawbreakers...[See: What
