Michele Bachmann ad slams Rick Perry on immigration - 09/12/11
... (unrelated) Rick Perry.
On a sidenote, Houston Chronicle reporter Puneet Kollipara has this wrong (link):
[Perry] signed a bill back in 2001 allowing children of some undocumented immigrants to qualify for in-state tuition for college; the bill was later dubbed the so-called Texas Dream Act for its similarity to federal proposals to give American-born children of undocumented immigrants a...
DHS officials misled about backdoor amnesty for illegal aliens (Houston, John Morton) - 06/27/11
... memo on Aug. 25 - the day the Houston Chronicle broke the story on the dismissals - amid allegations from conservatives that the Obama administration had created a stealth amnesty program for illegal immigrants.
ICE public affairs officials in Washington initially refused either to confirm or deny the dismissals, and then told several news outlets that they affected only a very narrow class of...
Susan Carroll of Houston Chronicle promotes anti-American DREAM Act (PIIPP) - 06/01/10
Susan Carroll of the Houston Chronicle offers "Noncitizen grads pin hopes on DREAM Act" (chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7029415.html), a cookie-cutter propaganda piece designed to support that anti-American bill. The bill she promotes would allow illegal aliens to take college educations away from needy U.S. citizens, but she doesn't reveal that fact (see the DREAM Act page for the details...

Ericka Mellon of the Houston Chronicle offers this:
Almost six out of 10 Texas public schoolchildren hail from low-income families, marking a troubling spike in poverty over the last decade, a new state report finds.
The increase coincides with a significant jump in the number of Hispanic students, while fewer Anglo students were enrolled last year than 10 years ago, according to the study by the...
James Pinkerton, Mark Potok, Doris Meissner oppose citizen action against illegal immigration - 11/05/07
James Pinkerton of the Houston Chronicle offers "Taking border battle to the streets" about a local group (U.S. Border Watch) that protests in front of day laborer sites. While it's not as bad as other similar articles, he takes his lead from LBJ: he doesn't call them racists, he just makes them deny it. [see the update]
Far from the halls of Congress and the front lines of the Southwest border...
May Day 2007: Peter Prengaman ignores Mexico links - 05/01/07
... endlessly-updated story returns again. The Houston Chronicle uniquely names their version "U.S. flags wave at immigration rallies". Mujica is out in this version, with a new source in Jerry Gonzalez of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials. He's a former MALDEF official, and one of the GALEO founders is GA state Rep. Pedro Marin, someone with a highly probable but unexplored link...
