Rewarding those who have no business being here
The first thing you did in your first budget was earmark tens of millions of dollars for prenatal care for illegal aliens. -- The next thing you did was - after promising to uphold the will of the people - was to subject Prop 187 to some bogus "mediation" attended by only opponents.

The wily Fox, fair-weather friend to the U.S.
Mexico's President Vicente Fox and President Bush have given every indication of being absolute bosom buddies, great amigos who are deeply concerned about each other's country - and presumably ready to do anything for each other personally. -- Thus, it came as a surprise that Fox had remained relatively quiet, publicly, with regard to the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington. He made a couple of phone calls to Bush conveying his and his country's deep regrets, but that was about it.		 National Post (Canada)
A moratorium on refugee landings is vital for Canada
Over the weekend, 50 Afghanis and Pakistanis without any identification flew into Toronto's Pearson International Airport and were released automatically after they uttered the magical R-word -- refugee. -- No security checks were done on them because the RCMP and CSIS are overworked chasing leads from police forces around the world about terrorists in our midst. (The Lliberals have gutted the RCMP, having cut the number of officers to 16,000 from 20,000.)

War on All Fronts
The general outlines of the campaign in Afghanistan are now becoming evident: air strikes on selected Taliban and terrorist leadership, along with attacks against air defense and their conventional assets, to aid indigenous forces in their motorized assaults against the cities. Our on-the-ground reconnaissance and special operations - thanks to the advances in technology of the last decade - may well make these missions far more destructive than even what we witnessed in the Gulf War, perhaps resulting in a precipitous collapse in Taliban resistance in weeks or even days....

INS BACKLOG: Many illegals evade U.S. net
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has a backlog of 300,000 cases of foreigners who have been ordered out of the country but who slipped out of sight before they could be deported. -- "If the INS can find the person, we deport them," Karen Kraushaar, a spokeswoman for the agency, said Thursday. -- The problem is that many people change their names or move to an unknown address, and the INS has only 2,000 investigative agents nationwide to track them down. "The numbers are against us," Kraushaar said.

Bush finds bombing easy, politically expedient
Let me confess right from the start that I have grown increasingly irritated by editorial pages hectoring about how important it is for Americans to realize that not all Muslims are bad people. -- The New York Times, the Sacramento Bee, the Los Angeles Times, the television talking heads and President George W. Bush have all gone way out of their way to remind us to remain compassionate toward our Muslim neighbors.		  Sacramento Bee

Xenophobia follows US terror
The hateful phrase "Avenge USA - kill a Muslim now" might appeal only to a few extremists in the north of England, where it was spray painted near a mosque shortly after the attacks on New York and Washington. But, in the wake of the Sept. 11 tragedy, the graffiti illustrates a swelling mood of xenophobia in Europe and beyond, claim immigrant groups and activists.

Does emigration really help Mexico?
Does the mass immigration of Mexicans to the United States really help Mexico? -- It's a valid question. After all, Mexican immigration is causing immense problems in the United States. If it were really helping Mexico, then maybe immigration enthusiasts could convince their countrymen of the joys of national sacrifice - that one nation could immolate itself for the good of another.		  Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Odd reasoning (Re: Gov. Jane Hull, others)
Gov. Jane Hull has just put our National Guard to use guarding our airports. I don't mind that; it may do some good there. -- Their answer has always been no and for the same three reasons: Our military is not trained for law-enforcement duties, the Posse Comitatus Act prohibits its use for domestic activities, and its presence on the border would offend Mexico. (Boy, that last one really bothers me!)

Undocumented students [Illegals] will pay in- state tuition
Gov. Gray Davis signed a bill yesterday to allow undocumented immigrants attending state colleges and universities to pay in-state tuition and to give them the right to state financial aid.

Terrorist attacks halt Congress' debate over immigration
Last month's terrorist attacks abruptly halted the political debate over proposals to legalize millions of undocumented immigrants, and now Congress is hearing calls for tougher immigration rules. -- That shift delays consideration of a centerpiece of the Republican campaign to win support among Hispanics. -- The GOP is relying on various issues to gain support in the nation's fastest growing ethnic group - especially education and tax cuts. But no issue is more powerful among Hispanics than broadening immigration.		 Charlotte Observer

U.S.: Terrorists not likely to cross into country from Mexico
Six of the 19 hijackers involved in the recent U.S. terrorist attacks are assumed to have entered the country illegally, possibly through Mexico or Canada, U.S. INS Commissioner James Ziglar said Thursday. -- "Most non-U.S. citizens come through land ports of entry," Ziglar said. -- He added that implementing an effective entry and exit tracking system for each possible U.S. entry point "creates a much bigger challenge" than employing a better system at air and sea ports alone.
