 JUST ANNOUNCED! 10TH CIRCUIT COURT OF
APPEALS SAYS COPS CAN ARREST ILLEGALS

FILED SEPT. 5, 2001
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS-POLICE MAY ARREST ILLEGAL ALIENS

Defendants' argument that Utah state law did not authorize Trooper Wright to detain them for suspected violation of federal immigration law misses the mark. We have never held that before a state law enforcement officer may arrest a suspect for violating federal immigration law, state law must affirmatively authorize the officer to do so.

...we inferred in Vasquez-Alvarez, that state and local police officers had implicit authority within their respective jurisdictions "to investigate and make arrests for violations of federal law, including immigration laws."

Immigrants told to carry ID
Immigration attorneys across the US are telling their clients to carry their visas and other identifying papers with them at all times as the investigation into the terrorist attacks continues, and immigration laws which were once loosely enforced begin to be applied more stringently. -- The INS said it had so far detained 126 people, as of Friday, in its investigation into the September 11 attacks. -- The number itself is not necessarily significant......

Mindful of terror, INS inspectors walk a fine line
Hundreds of men and women who inspect the vehicles that cross the international bridges at Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Lewiston share one common fear: Nobody wants to be the one who allows the next terrorist killer to cross the border. -- Every car, truck, bus and train that passes through is considered a possible hiding place for one of the estimated 250 people who are sought by the FBI for questioning about recent terrorist attacks.

A welcome mat for terrorists
Hijackers honing their skills at American flight schools. Foreigners breezing past borders despite known terrorist links. When it comes to the intelligence and law enforcement failures that preceded the September 11 attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, perhaps no oversight was as glaring as the lapses in immigration enforcement that let terrorists obtain and overstay simple visas.

More Immigration Charges in U.S. Attack Probe
The U.S. Justice Department released on Tuesday immigration charges against 13 foreign citizens wanted for questioning about the Sept. 11 hijacked plane attacks, including a Saudi and a Pakistani who entered the United States in late August. -- The additional documents brought to 46 the number of people for whom immigration charges have been made public.

The Premiers of Ontario and British Columbia yesterday called for tougher border controls, including a North American security perimeter, fearing a disastrous loss in trade because of U.S. fears over safety. -- Mike Harris, the Ontario Premier, and Gordon Campbell, the Premier of British Columbia, said Canada was in danger of losing jobs and prosperity unless it acted.

Difference in Alphabets Confuses INS
Those charged with keeping terrorists and others from entering the country illegally sometimes are confronted with tactics as elementary as A-B-C. -- The challenges of translating names from one alphabet to another ­ such as Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek or Hindi into the Roman alphabet used in English ­ offer an opportunity for terrorists and others who want to cover their tracks, U.S. immigration officials and experts say.

The Enemy Is Here - Not Just In Afghanistan
By an overwhelming majority of 77 percent, the American public believes "the government is not doing enough to control the border and screen people allowed into the country," according to a Zogby poll just released last week. The American public, in other words, has learned something from the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, if indeed it ever believed otherwise.		 Houston Chronicle

'If All My Sons Are Killed, I'll Be Pleased'
With his fiery tirades against the West, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman once had a following of hundreds of thousands of people across southern Egypt, and his religious declarations became a call- to- arms for fundamentalist Muslim militants. Now, while he serves a life sentence in a U.S. federal prison in Springfield, Mo., for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, most people in his hometown, Fayoum-two hours outside of Cairo - are afraid to talk about him, and the tiny mosque where he once preached is sparsely attended.

Poll: Mexico neutral on U.S. war
In recent trips to the U.S., Vicente Fox of Mexico has portrayed the neighboring countries as one integrated economic family unit. But as Washington seeks its allies' support against the forces of terrorism, Mexicans are sounding like distant cousins. -- Despite the ties between the two nations -- nearly eight years of NAFTA, the presence of 20 million people of Mexican descent in the U.S. and any other cultural links -- the terrorist attacks have brought out a side of Mexican nationalism and anti- Americanism that pundits had pronounced buried.

Latino Group Sues Over Redistricting (More MALDEF meddling)
...Howard Berman said Monday that he is "terribly disappointed" that MALDEF has filed its suit. -- "For 30 years in public office, I have not merely voted for, but have led the legislative battles to enact issues of importance to the Latino community," he said. "I guess for MALDEF, it's more about skin color and ethnicity than the philosophy and the quality of representation." [Berman is finally getting it.] Also see this item.

Letter to The Aspen Times
Sound absurd?
Reminded by Voltaire that common sense is not so common, let's talk about immigration, criminality, absurdities and obscenities. -- Unlike some would have you believe, someone who enters this country illegally upon first offense is subject to as many as six months in jail. If he is deported and returns, he has committed a felony. If he manufacturers and/or uses stolen forged or altered documents, he has committed one or more felonies. -- Our favorite felony statute is the one that requires all males 18 to 25 years old....

Our porous borders
...Talk about emergencies? That's what we have at both our southern and northern borders. Terrorists can walk or drive into this country unmolested and undetected ­ and they undoubtedly do on a daily basis. -- Before I sign off on my constitutional rights in this battle against terrorism, I want to see the government do its part. It has a constitutional responsibility ­ even in peacetime, even when our buildings are not being destroyed by terrorists, even in good times ­ to protect our borders from foreign invasion.
