Re:
Mexican IDs My advice is, the next time we have a rally, be prepared. When a you thug tries to attack a senior citizen, that is life threatening force that should be resisted with something adequate to protect yourselves. American Citizens still have that right. |

(Free Registration) A New Minority Makes Itself Known: Hispanic Muslims ...Over the last year, the Islamic Center of Southern California has been conducting these weekly 90- minute Spanish-speaking sessions for new Muslims by popular demand. Marta Galedary, who converted after immigrating here from Mexico two decades ago, has helped lead them. She finds that the group, which can include 20 to 50 people in any given week, is intensely interested and a little nervous. |
Press-Enterprise Language barriers put courts to test The changing ethnic makeup of Southern California has provided a challenge for state and federal criminal courts, which must provide non- English- speaking defendants with an interpreter. While the vast majority of interpreters are called on to translate Spanish, officials are finding defendants are speaking a wide variety of languages, including many Asian dialects. Translators are not always available. -- As immigrants, particularly those from the inland of Mexico... |

It is understandable that the fast- growing community makes some uneasy, Maus said. But he questioned the reasons, wondering aloud if critics would be as concerned if "Europeans came in waves." -- "If you go out at 6 o'clock in the morning where day laborers gather, you'll see 50 and 60 workers standing there," he said. "You'd understand that they come here to work." |
Boston Globe Illegal aliens offered hope Thousands of Marlborough residents, primarily Brazilian-born, are either living here with expired student, tourist, or worker visas or entered the country illegally to begin with. -- Accustomed to keeping a low profile, most undocumented residents are wary about seeking legal status.

Tribune Man No Longer on Airport Payroll Winds Up in Jail Juan Manuel Sanchez, an alleged illegal accused of using a false social security numer, was one of 69 people put in jail for allegedly lying on an employment application -- even though he was no longer an airport employee.

- Published Had enough of activist Garcia I'm really fed up with Isabel Garcia of Derechos Humanos bad-mouthing our country and government over the criminals who illegally attempt to cross our border. -- If she doesn't like the way we do things here, why doesn't she go back to the country of her heritage? In Mexico, she'll have plenty to complain about. |

News Salt Lake mayor back in the news over illegal airport staff Mayor Anderson: "We lulled these people into this country, in a very hypocritical set of circumstances. We tell them implicitly they can work these sorts of jobs and then we don't warn them about the huge distinction between hotels and restaurants and restricted areas at the airport. And now because of bad luck, they've been placed in those areas and . . . they risk deportation." -- "The employers didn't give fair warning, and now we see what happens," the mayor added.

- O.C. Register Immigration at issue ...I cringe at the anti-immigrant activists who believe newcomers pose some grave threat to the American way of life, even if these nativists occasionally make a legitimate point about the problem of illegal immigration. Everything despicable about immigration politics was on display recently in Anaheim during a yelling and fighting match between a virulently anti- immigration group and an equally virulent group of people who believe it's OK to flout U.S. immigration laws. |
