Propaganda Aimed at Influencing Congress

60 Minutes - CBS - Dec. 11
Our View
Working hand-in-glove with Border Patrol
Management, 60-Minutes produced one of the most one-sided views
of illegal immigration ever seen by the American People. Last
night's segment pictured illegal aliens as victims. From suggesting
that the Border Patrol initiated Operation Gatekeeper (it
didn't), to arguing (with the help of turncoat T.J.
Bonner) that a fence won't work, 60 Minutes ignored all evidence
and produced a pure piece of propaganda aimed at influencing
Congress. The segment featured three open borders advocates (Bonner,
Reed, Cornelius) and one person in favor of law enforcement (Tancredo).
It would make Dan Rather proud. (See

Don't
Complicate Immigration Reform
Congress is poised to consider an immigration
reform bill this week, but as usual the devil will be in the
details. A sensible bill would bolster enforcement of existing
immigration laws, reject any form of amnesty, and address the
underlying welfare state that adds to the problem. I fear, however,
that Congress will bow to the president... |

No
more border bureaucracy
Last month, President Bush went to the
U.S.-Mexico border as part of his new push for immigration "reform"
that includes a mix of tougher enforcement of existing laws as
well as his oft-touted "guest worker" program. The
first part of his plan is worthy of merit; the second part will
be a bureaucratic nightmare that will do nothing to improve our
immigration problem. |

No
such thing as 'temporary workers'
President Bush has recently been promoting
his proposals for a large temporary worker program as a way to
effectively enforce immigration laws. As Mr. Bush presents it,
such a program to address growing concerns over the flow of illegal
workers would rest securely on a "win-win" basis in
the following ways... |
