Yes,
Raoul, There Is A Terrorist Threat From Mexico
Raoul
Lowery Contreras, one of several professional Hispanic apologists
that the American media seems obliged to employ, has repeatedly
asserted that the influx of illegals across the Mexican border
poses no terrorist threat to the U.S. -- He was always wrong,
but with the recent breakup of a Tijuana illegal alien smuggling
ring that specialized in Arabs, and included a former Mexican
consul, he looks ridiculous.  |

Suspect
in child slaying protected by Mexican law
Christy Sue Piña's naked body
was discovered Feb. 8, 1990, in a field about 30 feet from Highway
1 in Castroville. She had been strangled with a cloth and stabbed
repeatedly. --- Police say they believe her killer fled to Mexico,
where extradition laws are complicating efforts to bring him

like giving him a get-out-of-jail-free card." |

A
CLEAR Solution for Criminal Aliens
Although federal law demands local
law agencies cooperate with the authorities on immigration cases,
some "sanctuary communities" have flaunted their violation
of these statutes. Now a Georgia Republican has introduced a
bill to actively involve local law enforcement officials in apprehending
and deporting criminal illegal aliens. |

Natives
in U.S., Britain getting restless on immigration
Immigration in Britain, as in the United
States, is a sort of subterranean political issue. Opinion polls
regularly show that the great majority of Brits and Americans
favor lower levels of immigration and stricter rules on entry,
but the elites (Republicans and Democrats, Labor and Tories,
Big Business and Big Labor) in both countries support higher
levels and laxer rules -- and some even favor "open borders."

strong and effective. And that begins with a common language.
