Fear
and Tight Screening Stem Green Card Lottery
For years it has been the annual wild
card of American immigration policy: a worldwide lottery in which
millions gamble on winning a green card, and with it the chance
to live and work legally in the United States. But this year,
with a Dec. 30 deadline looming and 55,000 green cards at stake,
the lottery has attracted fewer than half the usual number of
applications... |

The
Problem with Immigration is not the Immigrants
Debates over U.S. immigration policy
generally consist of two major positions. One side, generally
the position taken by the Right, is primarily concerned that
allowing more individuals into the country will increase the
number of people who are overly dependent on U.S. taxpayer funded
programs and services....  |

Illegal
aliens think they deserve in-state tuition, citizenship
...Undocumented students may still have
hope of attending college. Congress is considering the bipartisan-supported
Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act. The
bill, also known as the DREAM Act, would give undocumented students
the chance to become legal residents...  |

Letters
on the 'Son of Proposition 187' referendum
I'm Hispanic and I back the new Proposition
187 (Save Our State). We backers don't care if the illegal aliens
are brown, white, black, green, yellow, striped or polka-dotted.
They are illegally in this country and we don't want them mooching
off our tax dollars. End of story....  |

Bush
to Propose Broad Amnesty
We regret having to interrupt your holiday
season with bad news on the immigration reform front, but the
Washington Post reports this morning that President Bush and
Karl Rove-in order to appeal to Hispanic voters-are poised to
announce a sweeping amnesty plan during the second week of January.... |

Detection Alarms Heard By All!
On Christmas Eve, [we still say "Christmas"
here.] while the nation was busy preparing for the holiday, the
White House leaked details of its latest plan to pander to the
38 million Hispanics in our nation. [That a very large portion
of that population is here as the result of illegal immigration
was not mentioned.]  |

Illegal
aliens laud Bush's latest amnesty scam
...In the rapidly growing Mexican community
in Washington, news of possible immigration reform has inspired
curiosity and hope. Mexicans, who make up roughly half of the
country's illegal immigrants, will probably be among the main
beneficiaries of the program. -- Bush is expected to announce
his proposal in mid-January....  |

Another
misstep on immigration
President Bush now proposes to give illegal
aliens legal status, but this will do nothing to improve our
national security. -- In fact, it would take years and years
to do background checks on the estimated 8 million to 12 million
illegal aliens who could be eligible for amnesty.  |

Dishwasher
slain in Mexican feud
Four men were charged yesterday with
stabbing to death a 24-year-old Mexican-born dishwasher and critically
slashing his two pals after the victims refused to admit they
hailed from south of the border in order to avoid a Christmas-morning
fight, police said. -- The bizarre encounter occurred when Efran
Mata and two unnamed friends were stopped by a gang of seven
Mexican nationals...  |

Illegal
aliens fret increased law enforcement
Some Hispanic victims of domestic abuse
feel they have to choose between an angry fist or seeing the
entire family deported, and many of them end up dealing with
the abuse. They aren't likely to call the police if they think
their immigration status will be called into question....  |

The
amnesty mistake
So much for once bitten, twice shy. The
Bush White House floated an amnesty proposal for illegal immigrants
in the summer of 2001, roiling its political base among conservatives
and getting nowhere before the Sept. 11 attacks buried the idea.
Now, the White House is back again, considering another amnesty
proposal that is likely only to produce the same results.
