Pemex Loosening
Up?
According to EFE
News Service, Mexico is considering opening up its Gulf of
Mexico holdings to private, most likely foreign, investment in
drilling for crude that could produce up to 54 billion barrels
of crude. Mexico's total reserves could be as high as 139 billion
barrels.
"Mexico is sitting on hundreds of
billions, if not trillions of dollars of an asset that could
help bring the nation, and its people, into the 21st Century,"
said Glenn Spencer of American Patrol. "One way of pressuring
them to open up these resources for development is to close the
border tight," he added. |

Bush
the Latino lover splits his party
...Just as Bill Clinton liked to be called
America's first black president - on account of his support among
African- Americans - so Bush has launched a bid to be remembered
as a friend to Hispanics. But a series of measures aimed at America's
37m Hispanics has divided the Republican party, upset immigrant
activists and added a new word to Washington's political lexicon
- "hispandering", or sucking up to Latinos. |

Hit
Montgomery where it hurts
When it comes to displaying contempt
for immigration law, no Maryland politician, perhaps not even
Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley, surpasses Montgomery County
Executive Doug Duncan, who also wants to be the state's next
governor. In the state's most populous subdivision, where the
tenor of political discussion sometimes veers to the left of
Massachusetts, welcoming illegal immigrants is good politics
and good business... |

whackos go ballistic over article on invaders
The crowd was surrounded by students holding
signs with statements such as "No one is illegal,"
"Racism is terrorism," "The Sun equals Ignorance,"
"We are not leaches," and "Ya basta!" ['Leaches?']
-- And not even the rain stopped the 350 or so crowd that gathered
at Southwestern College... for the open forum organized by several
student groups [like this

Back
into the shadows
This week was not a good week for immigrants.
First, a human rights commission found that people who flee their
countries to escape persecution in most cases are treated like
criminals when they arrive here. --- The legislators voted to
make it easier for judges to expel immigrants seeking asylum
here. And they voted to prevent states from issuing driver's
licenses to undocumented
immigrants [criminals]. |

No
Illegal Left Behind
...And as the Republican Party fondly
looks upon illegal aliens as a reservoir for cheap labor, and
the Democratic Party looks to them as a future voting block,
neither will take a stand, as party self-interests sadly take
precedence over the best interests of the American people once
again. Not until that seriously changes, our border policies
and security will continue to be compromised and leaving us at
unnecessary risk. |
