TWO MEN OF COURAGE SPEAK OUT ON IMMIGRATION U.S. House of Representatives, Nov. 27, 2001 Listen
		Rep. Tom Tancredo, Republican, Colorado "The defense of this nation begins with the defense of its borders. We have every right to defend our borders. We have every right to ask that citizens who do come into this country to become part of the American mainstream and have a love of this country and and allegiance and attachment to this country. We have every right to ask that. To not do so is sealing our own fate. It is a death wish for the country."
		Rep. Virgil Goode, Independent, Virginia "245 i is simply a reference to a statutory number that means we are going to grant amnesty to persons who have broken our laws." "I hope we will follow the wisdom of the gentleman from Colorado in rising up and opposing amnesty, whether it is a stand alone bill or whether it is put into any other legislation. This is absolutely the wrong course of action for the United States at this time."

Police insist interviews illegal
The Portland Police Bureau, thrust into the national spotlight for its refusal to assist in a federal anti- terrorism investigation, relied on a city attorney's opinion issued before the city ever reviewed the U.S. Department of Justice's interview questions. -- Despite a ruling Tuesday by the state's top lawyer, AG Hardy Myers, that Oregon law does not prohibit law enforcement agencies from conducting the interviews, Portland is sticking to its attorney's advice and not participating.

National Law Journal
New RICO Target: Hiring Illegal Aliens
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has reinstated a case between two cleaning companies over the alleged illegal hiring of undocumented workers. The decision could open the door for suits between private companies under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute (RICO). -- The class action was filed in Hartford, Conn., by Commercial Cleaning Services against competitor Colin Service Systems Inc.

Is it assimilation or invasion?
Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, support for the United States has poured in from around the world, but the response from Mexico has been decidedly lukewarm. A Gallup poll reported that 78 percent of Mexicans oppose contributing troops to a multinational coalition, and we have seen no indication that Mexico will modify its oil policy of acting like a member of OPEC. -- While there is no evidence that the September terrorists entered over the Mexican border.......

"What if Americans were illegal aliens"
I am a American citizen and if I wanted to for example, move to Japan because it had a higher standard of living and I didn't want to go through the process of getting a work permit or the proper visas would I have the right to go to that country anyway and work? -- After I illegally entered Japan would I have the right to stay if I was caught?

Detroit Free Press
Muslims rattled over possible immigration law enforcement
Civil liberties groups and muslim spokesmen in Michigan were upset by the disclosure that the INS would take into custody Middle Eastern men who were to be interviewed by local police, if those men had committed immigration violations. "We're not going to turn a blind eye to a crime being committed," said a Justice Department spokeswoman.

Arizona Daily Star
Ill-placed priorities need changing
[Douglas mayor Ray] Borane seems to be more concerned with Mexican nationals having to wait longer to enter the United States (Americans are also waiting longer at airports, ball games, etc., without complaining), than the fact that we are at war, and our borders are extremely vulnerable.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Opinion
Restructured INS needs consistency, accountability
After years of bureaucratic bungling by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the terrorist atrocities of Sept. 11 highlighted the dangers of its errors. Although all of the hijackers entered the country legally, by Sept. 11 three were illegal and two were on a federal law enforcement watch list. -- It's true that the pressures on INS have increased as immigration has soared.

Los Angeles Times
American Muslims Court Identity Politics
...Muslims are regrettably following the trend toward gaining political power for their balkanized group rather than assimilating into American society. They want economic opportunities but despise the vital legal and cultural underpinnings of America.

More HIV-Positive Immigrants
You Can't Make This Stuff Up Dept.: Celebrity journalist Andrew Sullivan's mad idea to allow unrestricted immigration for people with HIV is one step closer to being a reality - thanks to a late Clinton rule "clarification" that remains unremarked upon by the Bush administration. And, of course, unreported in the press. -- On its face, U.S. law bars admission of HIV-positive individuals. However and it's a very big "however" -the bar may be waived for refugees...

Waco Tribune
Officers seize ton of marijuana
Six men are being held in the Hill County Jail after Waco Department of Public Safety officers seized about 1 ton of marijuana in Itasca. -- Lt. Gary McCully, one of the narcotics officers who made the arrests, said officials suspect the men are from the Laredo area and Mexico. Several are Mexican nationals, he said, and may also face action by the federal Immigration and Naturalization Service. -- "This was a pretty sophisticated smuggling ring," he said.

Support for American Patrol
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley in the 60's and 70's. It's sad to see all that we have built and all that has meant to us historically - Great neighborhoods is slowly systematically being run down by illegals and our governments unwillingness to stop this madness.

N.Y. Times (Free Registration)
U.S. Makes It Easier to Detain Foreigners
The Justice Department has quietly expanded its power to detain foreigners, letting the government keep a foreigner behind bars even after a federal immigration judge has ordered him to be released for lack of evidence. -- The change allows the INS to set aside any release order issued by an immigration judge in cases where the agency says it believes that a foreigner is a danger to the community or a flight risk.

Seattle P-I
INS checking Sea-Tac workers
INS officials in Seattle, concerned about security at Sea-Tac Airport, have started an extensive review of the airport's 18,000 workers to confirm that employees there are working legally. -- INS officials met quietly last Tuesday with representatives of 40 of the 42 companies that have workers at the airport, in part to warn that if they fail to purge payrolls of those working and residing in the U.S. illegally, the INS could detain and deport the employees.

NY Post - Dick Morris
Bolster the borders
Americans are unlikely to forget that all 19 of the 9/11 hijackers were non-citizens who had entered the United States legally. When men like these can enter legally, it's time to change the laws. -- We are also going to remember that three of the hijackers (including their leader) could have been deported before Sept. 11, since their visas had expired - had the INS bothered to track them down.
