Arizona NOW initiative... which would require state and local
officials to verify immigration status before offering "public
benefits" and to check for citizenship every time someone
votes. "The initiative is rabidly anti-immigrant,"
he told the audience. "It is aimed ultimately at removing

Recall: California has legacy of revolt
..."This anger is directed at the
entire political system and everyone in it. The recall was about
the car tax. It was about driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.
And it was about the energy crisis. But more than anything this

Harrop: The recall, the aliens, the ecology

to explode in the late '90s. After all, 800,000 more people left
California from 1995 to 2000 than moved there from other states.

was entirely due to immigration. -- A surging population magnifies
the biggest threats to California's environment... |

"Mexico's
Strange New Contempt for the United States"
...Meanwhile, the Mexican government
and a lock-stepped Mexican press are aggressively pushing and
cajoling the Bush Administration to sign legal the millions of
illegal Mexican immigrants in the U.S. They are also working
and feeding the U.S. Latino-oriented media hard and using any
U.S. ''immigrant rights'' advocates they can get to shill for
