Philadelphia cops now won't ask about immigrations status (pro-criminal Mayor Nutter) - 11/10/2009

Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia - yes, "Mayor Nutter" - recently signed an executive order that will make it easier for criminal illegal aliens to live and work in his city; he's clearly putting his own political interests ahead of the interests of his city. From this: Perhaps stealing the thunder of his own announcement of a 2010 census push, the mayor told a standing-room-onl...

Obama healthcare plan apparently covers illegal aliens - 6/12/2009

After it was released, I searched through Obama's healthcare plan for anything relating to immigration matters. I didn't find anything that set off any alarm bells and there were a few things that seemed to indicate that at least part of it was only for those eligible. On the other hand, he spoke yesterday in Green Bay, Wisconsin and said [1] among other things this: All we're sayin...

The National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders (NCLCCL) is promoting a boycott by illegal aliens of the 2010 Census.

Needless to say, those who want to profit from a large census count of Hispanics vehemently disagree...

Morgan Weiland of Media Matters leaps to defense of illegal aliens, ACORN - 4/07/2009

Morgan Weiland of Media Matters for America offers "Conservative media consistently scapegoat undocumented immigrants, ACORN" (mediamatters.org/items/200904070005). That former United Nations intern is here to defend both, even if she doesn't do it so well. There are several parts and discussing what's wrong with those is left as an exercise. However, here are two:

Census worker sign: "Yes we can! 2010 census." (highly politicized Los Angeles office) - 4/06/2009

Ari Bloomekatz of the Los Angeles Times offers this blurb: "The census is here!" shouted Esther Cepeda, manager of the local census office downtown. Music played and employees carried signs that read: "The census, coming to your neighborhood" and "Yes we can! 2010 census." "Yes we can" was, of course, one of Barack Obama's campaign slogans, and he took ...

Following up on her report of yesterday, Hope Yen of the Associated Press informs us that a group of illegal immigration-supporting Hispanic groups - including one with a direct albeit minor link to the Mexican government (NALEO) and one whose treasurer is an extremist (LULAC) - want their race-based power and they want it now (link): Saying traditional census outreach will not be enough, Hispanic...

Hope Yen of the Associated Press says: (Rep. William Lacy Clay, Democrat of Missouri) said he planned to push the Obama administration to halt raids next year, noting that immigration officials did so during the 2000 census...

Census Bureau will report directly to Obama, bypass Commerce; to help count illegal aliens, non-citizens - 2/05/2009

After complains from black and Hispanic groups, the Obama administration will be requiring the Census Bureau to report directly to the White House, bypassing Judd Gregg, the Republican who was appointed to head the Department of Commerce (link). This is clearly an attempt to make sure that as many illegal aliens and other non-citizens are counted in an attempt to obtain both money and power. Don&#...

Barack Obama lies about Census Bureau poverty statistics - 8/26/2008

You could have seen this coming from miles away. The Census Bureau today released their 2007 statistics on poverty and those without health insurance.

And on Bush’...
