1. American Dhimmitude: The road from amnesty
by Mark Krikorian National Review Online, March 30, 2006
EXCERPT: `'What we're seeing in the streets is a naked assertion of power by outsiders against the American nation. They demand that we comply with their wishes and submit our immigration policies for their approval, and implicitly threaten violence if their demands are not met. Far from being a discussion among Americans about the best way to regulate immigration, the illegal-alien marches have been marked by the will to power: ubiquitous Mexican flags, burning and other forms of contempt for the American flag, and widespread displays of blatant racial chauvinism and irredentism.''
2. Guest-Worker Programs Are a Dead End
by Mark Krikorian
Human Events, March 27, 2006
EXCERPT: `'In short, guest-worker programs are both immoral and unworkable. But their appeal is enduring, because they can satisfy the immediate economic demands of an important constituency while pretending not to have any adverse consequences on the rest of society. Our country has too often succumbed to this temptation for policymakers to be able to claim ignorance of the guaranteed outcome of another experiment in servile foreign labor.''
3. Dropping Out: Immigrant Entry and Native Exit From the Labor Market, 2000-2005
by Steven A. Camarota
Center for Immigration Studies Backgrounder, March 2006
EXCERPT: `'Advocates of legalizing illegal aliens and increasing legal immigration argue that there are no Americans to fill low-wage jobs that require relatively little education. However, data collected by the Census Bureau show that, even prior to Hurricane Katrina, there were almost four million unemployed adult natives (age 18 to 64) with just a high school degree or less, and another 19 million not in the labor force. Perhaps most troubling, the share of these less-educated adult natives in the labor force has declined steadily since 2000.''
4.Two Sides of the Same Coin: The Connection Between Legal and Illegal Immigration
by James R. Edwards, Jr.
Center for Immigration Studies Backgrounder, February 2006
EXCERPT: `'Because of the inextricable link between legal and illegal immigration, there is no way to continue massive legal immigration and reduce illegal immigration. To cut illegal immigration, legal immigration must be curtailed. To assert otherwise attempts to maintain a fiction that is unsustainable, judging from fact and experience.''

6. Legislature Should Act to Ensure Banks Can Verify the Identity of Account Holders
by Jessica M. Vaughan
Testimony prepared for the Joint Financial Services Committee, Massachusetts General Court (state legislature)
Boston, March 7, 2006
EXCERPT: `'This bill does not deny financial services to illegal aliens. It simply prevents financial institutions from relaxing their security standards in order to tap this market. Many believe that this `unbanked' population should have access to legitimate and regulated financial services companies, rather than keeping money under mattresses or relying on black market lenders. If this bill is adopted, illegal immigrants will still be able to open accounts if they can obtain a passport from their consulate. The standard of issuance for passports is much higher than for the matricula consular.''
7. Verification of Employment Authorization: Federal Basic Pilot Program is an Effective and Employer-friendly Tool for Immigration Law Compliance
by Jessica M. Vaughan
Testimony prepared for the State, Veterans & Military Affairs Committee, Colorado General Assembly
Denver, February 21, 2006
EXCERPT: `'This legislation is a realistic approach to a difficult and complicated problem, and is consistent with the direction many states are moving, and probably the federal government, eventually. It is not a silver bullet, but should be viewed as part of a larger strategy to deal with illegal immigration that relies on partnerships between federal and state authorities, and between government agencies. This strategy acknowledges that the population of more than 10 million illegal immigrants can not be apprehended and deported one by one; nor is the federal government likely to enact a mass amnesty to legalize this population. Instead, lawmakers should rely on an array of policies to increase the day-to-day enforcement of immigration laws, diminish the draw of employment, and encourage voluntary compliance with immigration laws. Eventually, those who are here in violation of our laws will realize that they can no longer hide or gain access to the benefits intended for legal residents, and a large share will choose to return home on their own.''

Has anyone here heard of the sit-in civil disobedience protest of the illegals supposedly happening in LA on the 28th of September?
I’m just curious to find out if that is a rumor or a fact and if it is a fact, how many handcuffs and tie straps will be issued to the border agents who will go to LA to deport the illegals.

I think I can work with you…I am about to be putting together pieces on activism, because lets face it, the message is the same as Vietnam…Bring our troops home NOW. It shows in the Deslaration of Peace and the 375 demonstrations this week.
Our soldiers are about to be demonized by the Anti-War movement. Colin Powell was the source of the lost Moral High ground through McCain. It is my contention that the reason the borders are being unenforced is simply because the longer the border is open, the more hospitals will shut down, and when 60-70% of the hospitals are shut down, then here will come Hillary Clinton on her Soros run to bring National Healthcare to the table…and into the 21st century of Democrat Fascism will we spin. It seems too planned and calculated for it not to be a reality. Check out my webblog and let me know your thoughts, please.
Like stealing, killing, and speeding, crossing another country’s border without proper documentation and priviledged entry is a crime. Why does the media fail to present this point and instead empathized that illegal immigrant are refugees? Illegal is illegal!
Well you know…every white person also came here to the United state as a an illegal immigrant.So dont start with illegal is illegal. We all came here for the FREEDOM OF SPEACH!!!! AND ALSO LIVE A BETTER LIFE!!! Its so funny how you people make a huge thing from something like this..and yet theres other things in the world that is going on..people suffering and dieing.
Linda,
Everyone except native Americans came here as immigrants, however they came here LEGALLY, except for people who were kidnapped from their native country and forced here as slaves.
Some folks saved and waited and bought a car. Some folks stole a car, drove it for years and then want a path to legally own the car they stole.
There are lots of good law abiding people who want to come to America, but are waiting in line for the chance. Illegally cutting in line is wrong.
we were corn here,our ancestors came when america need ed immigrnats.they didnt collect welfare.they became americans.unlike lowlifes immigrants today.
we were colonists not immigrants.get ur facts straight.most whites are 3rd or 4th gen americans at least.that makes us americans.
I am an engineer here in Detroit. Indians are taking our jobs at an alarming rate.
One of the Indians who I used to work with (I was layed off)
told me a disturbing fact.
I would like to know if anyone out there knows if this is true.
Farkwar said that when they come over from India, Our goverment issues them a social sec # and a 20 thousand dollar credit limit if they are over 21. They come over get credit cards, buy a bunch of stuff, send it home, and never pay a bill. They then split back to Stinky land and return 6 months later and change 1 letter in their name and thus receive a new soc sec # and they do it again. Farkwar said that his roommate was on his third time doing this. So because our government does not care about this. They do not fingerprint them because the ACLU says it’s wrong to do so. But us Americans get the rate increases and the bills.
LET”S OUTSOURCE OUR GOVERNMENT JOBS!!!!!
I am sure that the Indians can do their job,.
It must be easy to just sleep and waste taxpayers hard earned cash.
i beleive it,wall st has thousands of them doing all computer jobs.this is a disgrace

Enforce the Laws on the books; Fine the employers. Are we stupid or what?
Wake Up!
I would like to know if you want information regarding latinos pregnant couples who are traveling to the US in order to deliver their babies so they will become US citizens.
Today Saturday September 1st a peruvian latino woman named VIVIANA VERME together with her partner FERNANDO RIBAUDO are traveling on Amercian Airlines flight 918 from Lima Peru to Miami, Florida. The flight departs Lima, Peru on saturday september 1st at 11:50pm, and arrives at Miami international airport on sunday september 2nd at 6:05am.
Fernando Ribaudo, a peruvian citizen, has done these trips to the US regularly, usually flying on business or first class to distract airlines authorities, and avoid being questioned or stopped before leaving the country accompanied with pregnant women.
Viviana Verme, is eight and a half month pregnant, and is scheduled to deliver her baby at a Miami Hospital on september 15th. The couple have already made arrangements with american airlines to return to Lima Peru by the end of september, with the newborn infant.
If you would like to confirm this information, contact american airlines, or US immigration officials before the couple leave the contry and enter with their tourist visas to the US.
Citizens against illegal immigration.
anything. can’t I bothered be with ,
What concerns me is that these illegal immigrants will lean on U.S. senators/congressmen to pass legislation that will add them to the Social Security program. The illegals do not contribute to Social Security in any meaningful way, but if employers, who shirk their responsibility to pay these taxes have their way, these illegals will be fobbed off on the American taxpayer who cannot afford to take care of these millions who do not contribute tof the program. Social Security will go bankrupt if this happens.
amazing how unamericans lean on senators while americans do nothing
they use the system,we worry about stupid things
we will go to cancer walks and aids walks but do nothing for our freedom
Well, (the politicians) can’t have it both ways. With the pending crunch on the already strained Social Security system from the coming onslaught of Baby Boomers’ retirements, and the need to ‘entitle’ illegals with free access to the system, something will have to give.
Only so much of the shrinking $$ pot to go around.
Consider that most legal US Citizens are not savers, in that they are not putting money away for their own future needs. Guess they are all counting on Uncle Hand Out to be there later.
Many Legal US Citizens are in for a big surprise when they realize that they gave the money away to illegals (who sent most of it back to their country of origin as remittance), and it is not there for them anymore. Oops.
Any chance of a general uprising of concern during this Prez election cycle to make the illegal immigrant invasion a #1 priority for our next POTUS?
“I would like to know if you want information regarding latinos pregnant couples who are traveling to the US in order to deliver their babies so they will become US citizens.”
This entire post reeks of racism. Has it ever occurred to anyone that Ms. Verme and her partner Mr. Ribaudo are travelling to Miami for prenatal care and delivery because America provides better medical care than Peru? This assumption seems to make sense, considering the fact that it was mentioned that they have done these trips to the US regularly during the course of the pregnancy, and that they have already scheduled delivery at a Miami hospital. I don’t see what’s wrong with a Latino couple, or any couple for that matter, entering the U.S. LEGALLY, paying for medical care, and deciding to give birth to a child here. People from all over the world travel to the U.S. legally to receive quality medical care. Maybe, just MAYBE, they chose to fly on business or first class because they CAN AFFORD IT, which should erase any doubt of them wanting to stay here illegally.
Since the couple have already made arrangements to return to Peru with their newborn, there doesn’t seem to be any plan to break the law. Again, I don’t see what the problem is. If they entered the country legally with all their paperwork being legit, paid for the medical care, and choose to give birth here, I don’t see why their child shouldn’t have the right to be an American citizen. It’s not ‘illegal immigration’ just because they happen to be Latino.
Just passing by.Btw, you website have great content!

Making Money $150 An Hour
Ok first of all let me introduce myself. My name is lewis. I wont tell you my last name because is not your business. One thing i would like to clear here at this site that i think is worth nothing is………….. Do you all racist poeple who made this site know who were the first one here in the U.S.? May be you should go to school and learn some U.S. History. This country the United States Of American was founded by American Indians. They were the first one here. That is why this country is name as a country of immigrants. Anglos think they own this country which is not even close to be correct. Like i mention before Indians are the natives of this country. Second, Illegal immigrants come here to work and fill jobs that anglos would not even do. How many people you see on streets with a valid social security # no illness at all, looking around 25-40 years old and asking for money? Instead of asking for money they should be working their asses off like illegals. they dont come here to take away jobs from us citizens they come here to fill jobs that us citizens wont do. Thank you so much for your time and have a nice day!!! oh one last thing……People go back to school and take a U.S. History class please
Filtration: Many water treatment facilities use filtration to remove all particles from the water. ,
Many interesting and passionate comments here, always nice to see that. My take on all of this is that we have to realize how difficult it is to come to this country legally. Unless you can buy your way in, the process can be impossible to complete. So, many come here illegally. I am not defending anyone, but if the processes for immigration were better put together, we might have less illegals and more contributors to these various funds (Social Security, etc.)
It also just seems wrong to me that illegals regularly demand rights of any sort. They are called illegals for a reason! It is because they are, by their very presence, breaking the laws of the nation. Why should their protests be greeted by anything other than mass arrests?
for all the ignorant people here:
for most people that think that this country rightful claim is about who was here first! I`ve got something to tell them:
if they are right! then the rightful owners are the Asians from upper China because they crossed the bering sea into Ameica in what is known today as Alaska during the Ice Age thats the reason most American Indians look asian as well as a lot of Mexican Indians!
The emphasis in the “illegal immigration problem” is currently used as a political escape goat by the Republican party and others for the big mess that was left behind by the previous administration. The current recession and economical environment is a result of many other things (invasion of Iraq and Afganistan, wasteful use of resources). Statistically illegal immigration is not a cause of the budget deficit as it amounts to less than half of a percent of the total budget. Please do some research before investing your valuable time in the wrong cause. The more ignorant humans are the more they are inclined to not like people from other countries, cultures, religions, etc, invest in your “Education”. Do not let political organizations blind you wih wrongfully placed hate!!!
I have a question that I hope someone can answer. My ex daughter-in-law was in the USA illegally. She is from Italy and had been here almost 8 years with her green card expiring. She went back to Italy and now wants to return to the USA. She has my 7 year old grandson with her and I would like to see her come back. My grandson will not move back to the USA without her. She paid fed., state, and soc. sec. taxes and never used any “free” government services.
I want my grandson back, please help!!!!! Any advice would be so much appreciated.
Where do I start to help her return? I am a US citizen born and raised here and of american indian descent.
