ABP to Launch New
Initiative
"The New American Border Patrol"

Border Hawk III |
Hurdles
Overcome
Following five months of struggle
to overcome major operational hurdles, American
Border Patrol, the only non-profit corporation working for
Americans on the border, is preparing to launch a major new initiative
in the next ten days. According to its president, Glenn Spencer,
after being forced out of its headquarters in October, ABP faced
even more man-made obstacles as it tried to move its operations
to the border. "By the end of this week we will finally
be working out of our new border headquarters," Spencer
said. He also said ABP would be flying a new version of its Border
Hawk UAV. |

For state Rep. David Schultheis, the
choice is clear: The Colorado legislature can pass his bill preventing
illegal immigrants from receiving non-emergency state and county
services. -- Or legislators can watch the proposal ignite an
Arizona- style political wildfire as it goes before the voters
as a November 2006 ballot initiative. |

for lipstick on Capitol Hill to surge
If you've got any extra lipstick lying
around, you might want to send it to Rep. Jeff Flake. -- Weighing
in on the widening Republican rift over immigration policy, the
Arizona Congressman told The Washington Times that the two sides
in the battle -- the pro-amnesty Bush Republicans on the one
hand, and the pro-borders mainstream Republicans on the other
-- "aren't that far off." |

The
'Compassionate Immigration Reform' Scam
What's "Compassionate Immigration
Reform"? -- Like most immigration hype, it's chock-full
of emotional phrases that sound good but mean nothing. As we
read in Chapter 2, advocates have always substituted emotional
propaganda when facts don't support their pro- immigration stance.
-- President George Bush has embraced that strategy in forcing
his "compassionate immigration reform" down Americans'
throats... |

nationality to go with their U.S. citizenship... |

that permits temporary guest workers to fill jobs Americans will
not take, that rejects amnesty, that tells us who is entering
