(Free Registration) Illegals With Legal Rights Dan Seligman says the question: Can we control our borders? is "painfully relevant" because of the security failures that let in the 19 terrorists who attacked Sept. 11. "Efforts to prevent illegal immigration in the U.S. today are ignored, underfunded, openly violated or certifiably feckless." Seligman criticizes CUNY (City University of New York) for waiting until after the attack to stop letting illegal aliens get in-state tuition. And Seligman is especially critical of an EEOC ruling that lets illegals file discrimination claims. |

Tribune H-1B's fret layoffs ...An H-1B worker no longer holds lawful status as of the date of termination of employment, and the penalties are strict for staying. Violators who remain in the United States for 180 days or more and then leave are barred from returning for a period of three years. To remain out of status for more than 365 days would bar readmission to the United States for 10 years. |
| L.A. Times More People Headed Inland ...But the bigger forces behind the valley's population explosion are a sizable influx of immigrants and a breathtaking birthrate, particularly among the region's huge Latino community. -- So far, prosperity has not come with the population growth. -- The valley is the poorest region in the state, with poverty levels in some spots sinking as low as Appalachia.

| L.A. Times Wooing Latinos Hard for GOP ...If Republicans are to retake the governor's office, they will have to challenge the Democrats' near-monopoly on California's growing pool of Latino voters, one cemented in the years after a controversial anti-illegal immigration measure pushed by the GOP prompted thousands of Latinos to register as Democrats. To that end, California Secretary of State Bill Jones and businessman Bill Simon Jr. regularly emphasize their outreach... |
