Two more men with ties to Chicago and the Eastern European immigrant community in Overland Park were charged today in what prosecutors call was a fake identity scam. -- One woman and six men, including two charged with forcing their way into a house and assaulting the residents, are now in custody as part of the continuing investigation. -- The latest charges were filed in Johnson County District Court against Gintaras Mineika, 29, who gave authorities the address of an Overland Park motel...

Students' segregating themselves is tackled
Bosnian teens walk together speaking their native language near the entrance to Des Moines' Hoover High School. African-American students toss a football a few feet away. Latino youths sit nearby speaking Spanish. -- School officials, students and community leaders say they must fight this segregation that is common at schools because it played a role in fights last week between Bosnian and African- American students. [Reader remark: This was known as Balkanization before PC came along.]

Mexican Mayor?
An open letter to Hahn
Your statement that "Our city is a Mexican City" shows LA, California and the rest of the country exactly what you really are.......a political prostitute and whore who will shameless stoop to any level necessary in order to acquire and then hold onto the one thing they cherish most in life.........political power.

Businesses blast border slowdown as big sales killer
San Diego City Council's Rules Committee will consider adopting a resolution today urging Gov. Gray Davis to declare a state of economic emergency along California's border with Mexico. -- A state of emergency would allocate money for low-interest loans for those affected by the economic slowdown at the border. -- If approved by the committee today, the declaration will go before the full City Council for a vote...

L.A. mayor urges migrants deal
Longtime Mexican immigrants living illegally in Los Angeles should be given the opportunity to become legal U.S. residents, that city's mayor [traitor Jim Hahn] said Tuesday on his first trip to Mexico. -- Juan Hernandez, the head of Fox's Office on Mexicans Living Abroad, said he also believed negotiations would be back on track as soon as possible. -- "I sense the message has been loud and clear from both presidents that we're going to continue," he said.

INS Policy at Airports Too Lax, Report Says
The nation's immigration service has a lax policy of deferring the airport inspection of some people not carrying proper documents and allowing them to enter the United States, according to a Justice Department report released yesterday. -- Inspectors with the Immigration and Naturalization Service have the discretion of allowing people coming to the United States who are not carrying all the necessary documents to enter the country.

Houston Chronicle
Mexicans fret remittance slowdown
Every year, millions of Mexican migrant workers toil in the U.S. as produce pickers, dishwashers and gardeners. -- They send about half of the money they earn in El Norte home to their families, many of whom live in Mexican towns like this one. These towns depend on this steady stream of remesas, the Spanish word for money sent from relatives living abroad. -- Since the Sept. 11 attacks, people here say remesas have dropped dramatically or disappeared altogether.		 Las Vegas Tribune
Terrorists Cripple Amnesty Programs
Chalk up another casualty in the war on terrorism: amnesty for illegal aliens. Legislation granting permanent residency to illegals in this country before 1986 - up to 30,000 in the Las Vegas Valley -- has been pushed to the congressional back burner. And besieged lawmakers are now looking to take it off the stove altogether. -- Two new polls by Zogby International show support for amnesty is fading rapidly in a newly border-conscious America.

Business owners fret over future as migrants flood area
And as Kimberley Rucker drives to work each day, her car crests a small hill and she looks at the Mapco Express at the corner of Murfreesboro Pike and Thompson Lane, where dozens of young Latino men gather on their way to and from work. -- To Rucker, it's a sight that means fewer new customers at her hair salon. -- ''They just kind of hang out. There's just so many of them,'' she said. '' I think it affects some new business. A lot of my clientele are from all over - Alabama, Bellevue, Joelton, all over. It's an inconvenience as it is, but if it's an unsightly inconvenience, it's even worse.''

11,000 arrested last year trying to sneak into U.S.
The United States Border Patrol arrested 11,000 people trying to sneak across the border from Canada last year, according to documents from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services. -- The number is a drop in the bucket compared with the roughly one million people arrested trying to sneak into the United States from Mexico during the same year. -- But, when combined with liberal Canadian refugee asylum laws...

Instructor: Foreign student pilots arrested by INS over visas
Federal authorities arrested three student pilots in this southwest Florida county and the flight school's director said the students from Tunisia apparently overstayed their U.S. visas. -- The three students were arrested Tuesday at Charlotte County Airport outside neighboring Punta Gorda by agents of the U.S. Immigration Service and the FBI, according to Glen Happe, owner of the Bald Eagle Aviation flight school at the airport.

Washington Times
INS faulted for losing track of visa offenders
Foreigners who stay in the United States after their visas expire are not being tracked by the INS because the agency has not properly managed a $31 million computer system designed to locate them. -- According to a report sent yesterday to Attorney General John Ashcroft by the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General, investigators found no evidence that the INS can locate those who remain illegally in this country.

Immigration Is The Problem...
Patriotism rallies people to the support of their country, granting government new and expanded powers to respond to terrorists. This is understandable, but a headlong rush is no way to make good decisions. -- Anxious to strike back, the U.S. is focused on bombing Afghanistan, which has some abandoned terrorist training camps and a rag-tag militia. But the terrorists who threaten us are not hiding in Afghanistan. They are in the United States and Europe. [Also see the Free Republic]

Hahn: Let Mexicans stay here - Spencer: "..he isn't speaking for the American citizen"
"This is very thin ice for him [Hahn]," Spencer said. "I think 85 (percent) to 90 percent of Americans would oppose this idea, so he isn't speaking for the American citizen. I wonder who he is speaking for. It's time to have an open debate about this." -- Hahn has tried to repair his relations within the Latino community since his attacks on former Assembly Speaker Antonio Villaraigosa during the mayoral campaign prompted widespread criticism for bordering on racism.

What to do about disease brought across our border
The anthrax scare has made Americans suddenly and acutely very disease conscious. Until a few weeks ago, most Americans had never heard of anthrax, and worries about smallpox had been abandoned years ago. -- While we have yet to learn the source of the malicious delivery of anthrax infections, it's time to open a national discussion about the variety of diseases coming into our country with immigrants and illegal aliens.

Translation of Rights
There is no law requiring food stamp recipients to speak English, but Felicita Ramales' experiences at the welfare office have sure made it feel that way.-- Ramales, a 27-year-old immigrant from Mexico, said she can't fill out forms on her own because they're not in Spanish. Bilingual caseworkers are so scarce, she at times has waited six hours to see one. -- Last year, Ramales explained, she went without food stamps for three months after there was a problem with her application.

Uneasy Time for Foreign Workers
...The attacks have resulted in close scrutiny of immigrants and immigration policy. And the ongoing economic downturn also translates into uncertainty for H-1B workers, who are not authorized to stay in the country if they lose their jobs. -- "You've got the economic hit, and you've got just the general acceptance hit," said Raj Desai, executive director of The IndUS Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit group founded by South Asian entrepreneurs.

Hahn Upbeat About Trade Deals
Following up a day of largely symbolic meetings with Mexican officials, Los Angeles Mayor James K. Hahn wrapped up his first trade mission Tuesday, returning to Los Angeles with promises to bring an international flight to Ontario and to expand a Mexican supermarket chain's stores in this area. [Reader comment: Hahn is the mayor of Los Angeles, not Ontario. Ontario isn't even in the same county.] -- See feature on this traitor.

Congressmen Say Immigration Service 'Broken'
Two Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee [Gekas, Sensenbrenner] say the only way to reform the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) is to split it into two distinct entities; one dealing with legal immigration, and another dealing with illegal entry into the United States.

Runaway Immigration Begets Terrorism

Illegals Battling for Drivers' Licenses in California
A bill that would allow undocumented immigrants to obtain drivers' licenses in California may become law without Gov. Gray Davis' signature and despite the fact that the sponsor of the legislation now wants it changed in light of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. -- Because the proposal by Gil Cedillo cleared both houses of the state Legislature and was not vetoed by the governor, it should automatically take effect Jan.1, says MALDEF.

U.S. to Help Pakistan Seal Border
The Bush administration plans to help Pakistan stop smugglers from trucking weapons across its porous border with Afghanistan and may train Pakistani police to control Muslim extremists, the U.S. ambassador to Pakistan said Tuesday in an AP interview. -- [Reader Comment -- Question: It it's good enough for Pakistan, why isn't it good enough for America? Answer: the government wants the U.S. to be invaded, but not Pakistan.]  --

Over 350,000 Mexicans have returned home since 9/11
The significant return of Mexicans who reside in the U.S. has to do with the fact that "contracts, mostly temporary ones, have expired and because the economic situation over there is not so great," said Felipe de Jesus Preciado. -- Because of the current negative economic conditions that have prevailed since the attacks, he said, "350,000 men and women have returned to Mexico," adding in the coming months at least 150,000 more are expected to come home.  --		 Associated Press
3 Suspected Illegals Drown
The bodies of three suspected illegal immigrants from Asia were pulled from an agricultural canal that runs along the U.S.-Mexico border. -- None of the three victims - a man and two women - carried identification, and the Border Patrol has been unable to determine their nationalities, said Agent Dionicio Delgado, a spokesman for the agency. -- Border Patrol agents found the bodies Monday and Tuesday along a stretch of the concrete-l ined canal about 150 miles east of San Diego. All appear to have drowned...  --
