Hispanics outraged over round-up of illegal alien airport workers
U.S. Attorney Paul Warner says he has no regrets about this week's sweep of 271 illegal airport workers. -- "I make no apologies for these prosecutions; I make no excuses for these prosecutions," Warner told a gathering of local Hispanic leaders at the Centro Civico Mexicano on Thursday. -- The meeting was called to discuss the "roundup" of illegal airport workers and the arrest of 69 earlier this week.

Let's keep America free of illegal aliens
Once again it is that time that we reflect on the year past and set a path for improvement in the future. The main event in most people's minds is the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center towers, perpetrated by terrorists. It would be nice to know that the terrorists have been rounded up, but this is not and may never be the case because the Immigration and Naturalization Service admittedly has long ago lost control of the real number of legal aliens in our country.

Hijacker got speeding ticket 2 days before 9/11
One of the Sept. 11 hijackers got a speeding ticket in Maryland less than 36 hours before piloting the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. Ziad Jarrah was stopped on Interstate 95 going 90 mph, the Baltimore Sun reports. The stop was described as uneventful, but Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley told the Senate yesterday that the incident was emblematic of a lack of federal- state coordination. Jarrah and many of the other hijackers on Flight 93 had valid drivers licenses.

New policy raises deportation difficulty
A U.S. immigration court ruling is making it harder for the government to deport many undocumented immigrants. -- Thousands of immigrants who face deportation proceedings but fail to appear for hearings have been ordered almost routinely to be deported. -- But a decision issued in October by the U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals halts that practice, unless the Immigration and Naturalization Service can show that it has delivered a notice of the proceedings to the immigrant.

Paper backs Mexican ID cards
Imagine being unable to call 911 to report a crime because you might be immediately detained for lacking proper identification. -- And imagine being one of the many police officers who have to waste valuable time holding and processing Mexican citizens whose only offense is lacking identification [illegal immigration is a crime. Goes on to laud acceptance of Mexican ID's]. -- [Send a letter to the editor.]

Illegal immigrants take jobs Americans want
...Now that an amnesty for illegal aliens is back on Bush administration's front burner, you'll be reading story after story about how illegal immigrants only take jobs Americans don't want. This falsehood has been written so often that it goes unchallenged. -- But with the country knee deep in pink slips, no one can convince me that Miguel's job isn't coveted. Thousands of the 800,000 Americans who lost their jobs in the last two months would be happy to earn $22 an hour.
