A
Major Victory Against Illegal Immigration -- in Massachusetts?
As far as the media is concerned, good
news is no news -- especially when the news is good for conservatives.
That's why an absolutely amazing grassroots victory against illegal
immigration last week occurred in virtual obscurity. -- I didn't
expect a story with far-reaching political implications for the

Undocumented. Illegal. Alien. -- These
are terms often used to describe people who emigrate from Mexico
to the U.S. [in violation
of federal law]. Those terms also reveal a frustrating reality
for many Latino immigrants. -- "We've been here since 1990,
paid taxes and still don't get benefits," said Mario Flores... |

There are currently nearly 34 million immigrants
living in the United States, about a third of them are illegal
aliens. Mexicans are now the largest single group of U.S. immigrants,
30 percent of the total in 2000. According to a 2005 study by

Immigration
Vacuum
...At this point, only the House has
acted, passing a bill so draconian it sounds like something out
of the Know-Nothing anti-Irish movement of 150 years ago. Co-sponsored
by Reps James Sensenbrenner and Peter King, both Republicans,
it's full of extreme measures - like 700 miles of fences on the
Mexican border. [Also see: Propaganda

population growth, it is a major step forward. It will be difficult

Tancredo
Takes Charge on Immigration
One of the big issues facing voters in
this year's midterm congressional elections will be border security.
The federal government has not done a good job in protecting
the U.S. border with Mexico and to paraphrase a famous line in
the movie "Network," Americans living along that Mexican
border are "mad as hell and they aren't going to take it
anymore." |
