Protests
Hit Illegal Immigration Summit
Protesters on Sunday gathered outside
a meeting where members of a controversial civilian group that
has been monitoring the Mexican border gathered with other activists
seeking to curb illegal immigration. -- More than 150 demonstrators
used placards and bullhorns and waved
Mexican flags to get their message out: "Racists, go
home!" they screamed. -- Jim Gilchrist said a declaration
of war is committed every time a Mexican flag is planted on American
soil. |

Illegal
Immigration and the Mexican Archbishop
Lost amid all the reams of paper, stacks
of videos and bites in e-space about President
Fox's view of African-American workers is a more troublesome
comment coming from an overlooked source. -- CNN.com reports
that "Even Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera [left]... criticized
U. S. immigration policy as ridiculous and defended Fox's comments,
saying: "The declaration had nothing to do with racism.
It is a reality in the United States that anyone can prove." |

The
Minutemen are coming, the Minutemen are coming!
It appears that the Minuteman Project,
the members of which say they want to help the Border Patrol
patrol the borders in spite of the fact the U.S. Border Patrol
wants them to mind their own business and go away, is on the
edge of greatness. -- First, it has left Arizona, plans a quick
stay in Texas, and then on to infiltrate the land of the Border
Patrol in San Diego County. |

Immigration
insanity: Mexicans protest, U.S. just sits there
What is wrong with this picture? The
Mexican government sends representatives to Hudson to defend
Mexican nationals who have admittedly entered the United States
illegally, while the United States government turns a blind eye
to immigration enforcement. |

Success
with phony IDs not assured
The stakes are high when illegal
immigrants [criminals] venture into the black market in search
of a fake ID. -- For some, the cards open the door of opportunity.
-- Consider Juan Guerrero, an immigrant from Mexico City who
has worked 10 years on Las Vegas construction sites, building
houses and public works projects. No one ever questioned the

Where
is the outrage?
Imagine if you will, the Minutemen saying
"Go back to Mexico, you brown scum" or "F**K Cinco
de Mayo" (they care A LOT about that Mexican celebration
day) or even, "Who was the illegal alien, you Spaniard invader-
slayers?" -- I can imagine THAT would be all over the newspapers,
on radio shows, broadcast live from every station across America... |

Illegal
immigration and the law
...The laws should not be suspended for
the hordes of illegals that cross our borders daily. It does
not matter why or how the illegal immigrants come into our country.
Some may come to "do the jobs that Americans won't do"
and who knows where that rationalization came from? |

New South Federal Savings Bank is giving
illegal aliens home mortgages to help them realize the American
dream. -- Its Casa Mia program is designed to help tax-paying
immigrants [read: criminals]

If it looks like a dog, smells like a

its owner tries to disguise it. -- Or as Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo.,
recently observed, "There is a little more lipstick on this
pig than there was before, but it's most certainly the same old
pig." |

clamps down on issuing IDs, licenses
The FBI and the Arkansas State Police
are each investigating separate instances where hundreds of state-issued
driver's licenses and identification cards were given to people
who may not have been who they said they were. -- One of the
