Ernesto Portillo Jr offers racialized version of A Christmas Carol - 12/27/05

The Arizona Daily Star columnist updates Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, offering a version such as one might find in a comic book printed by the Mexican government. It's full of so many strawmen that you might think you're reading Thomas Hardy instead of Dickens, but since we don't have all day let's look at this: They passed over the coastlines, where Mr. Scrooge watched small boats crowded with desperate people try to reach the shore.

"Bitter Debate Over 'Birthright Citizenship'" - 12/26/05

The AP's David Crary says there's a "bitter debate" over the issue, but so far the only people I've heard of on the other side are racial demagogues and the far-left.

Vicente Fox lectures America: don't forget immigrant roots - 12/19/05

America's amigo, like our leader, has now become a parody, offering us the following canard: "[The proposed wall on the Mexican border is] a very bad sign, which does not speak well of a country that is proud of being democratic, proud of being a country of immigrants... The vast majority of the population of the United States, when we look at their roots, are immigrants who have arrived from all over the world and who have constructed that great nation.

Ed Bradley offers superficial report on illegal immigration - 12/11/05

Tonight's 60 Minutes had a segment called "More Migrants Dying To Get In". That link provides a rough transcript of the segment, but there are some not insignificant things they left out, such as Tancredo briefly referencing workplace enforcement and Ed Bradley not following up on that remark. And, Ed offered a little bit of editorializing, in effect agreeing with one guest that we need a guest worker scheme because we need those illegal workers.

Mexico to US: take our potential rioters, please - 11/21/05

The column "Could riots such as in Paris occur elsewhere?" from Mexico's Ana Maria Salazar says that Mexico could have similar riots to those that occurred in France. But: One important factor, however, has greatly helped reduce the risk of riots and violence in Mexico. There is an "escape valve" that the poor and discriminated in Europe do not have: the possibility of crossing illegally into the United States and getting a job.

Could Paris happen here? - 11/17/05

Mark Krikorian offers "L'Intifada en Los Estados Unidos" (link), which discusses a few points previously made here: 1. The guest/temporary worker schemes will result in millions of people coming here to stay. 2. Those millions - mostly from Mexico - will give that country even more power over us than they already have. 3. If we tried to kick them out, it would result in civil unrest similar to that in Paris.

"Mexico uses U.S. to avoid change" - 11/14/05

From the editorial by Patrick Osio, editor of HispanicVista.com: ...And, while supposedly guarding the border, it was miraculous how, after the cancellation of the Bracero program, during agricultural high seasons border guards seemed to evaporate, allowing a steady flow of workers in the country. And this, too, spoiled Mexico because that flow of workers acted as the steam-valve on a pressure-cooker holding social unrest at a minimum.

Dick Morris offers thoughts on Bush and immigration - 11/11/05

Dick Morris to president Bush: "Get serious about immigration reform" (link). Unfortunately, the reform he has in mind is the kind with quotes around it. In the hawk category, he supports the idea of a fence, an idea that does have its downside. Perhaps big fences in some areas and DMZ zones in others would be the better approach.

Bush administration promoting benefits to "Mexicans" - 11/09/05

The USDA is promoting social welfare benefits to "Mexicans". Some of those are new U.S. citizens, some are legal immigrants from that country, and some are illegal aliens. And, the U.S. government is working with the Mexican government to get U.S. benefits to those people, thereby including Mexico's citizens who are in the U.S. illegally. And, the Bush administration claims it's cracking down on illegal immigration.

The Bush administration de facto "Temporary Worker Program" - 11/08/05

Wrap your mind around this AP report: Officials with the U.S. Department of Labor and Mexico's Foreign Ministry pledged Monday to protect the rights - especially fair pay and safe working conditions - of immigrant workers, whether they are in the United States legally or not. But, I thought the Bush administration was getting tough on illegal immigration?

Washington Post repeats Boston Globe smear on Minuteman Project - 10/31/05

Two weeks ago I offered "Boston Globe's Yvonne Abraham makes fun of Minuteman Project", which had that reporter repeating anti-Minuteman Project smears from a frequent contributor to the North Eastern Federation of Anarchist Communists website (nefac.net). Needless to say, the reporter did not identify the source's affiliation, despite it taking me less than 10 seconds to find that using google. I sent an email to their ombudsman, who said that either he or the reporter would be back in touch.

Kennedy-McCain gets Mexican government stamp of approval - 10/28/05

If the government of Mexico had to choose, they'd take the immigration "reform" legislation proposed by (U.S.) Senators John McCain and Teddy Kennedy. Presidential spokesman Ruben Aguilar today said the bipartisan proposal is the one that comes closest to what Mexico wants... Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez discussed such issues yesterday during meetings in Washington. No doubt those two fine Senators welcomed this endorsement of their proposal.

Mexico approves of Bush Temporary Worker Scheme - 10/20/05

Our friends to the south, specifically the Foreign Relations Secretariat, have issued the following statement on the scheme laid out yesterday by DHS head Chertoff: "The Mexican government considers it significant that the Bush administration has a solid and unified position on immigration reform that allows safe, legal and orderly migration, and takes into account those migrants who are already residing in the United States...

Tennessee Small Business Development Center working with Mexican consulate - 10/16/05

Like me, there's a 99.9994% chance that you had never heard of the "Tennessee Small Business Development Center" before. However, it provides another small example of the degree to which the government of Mexico has been able to infiltrate their way into our country. That Center is: "partially funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration, Tennessee Board of Regents, and the State of Tennessee. SBA's funding is not an endorsement of any products, opinions or services.

Is the New York Times a Mexican newspaper? - 09/30/05

I'm left with the distinct impression that the New York Times is a Mexican newspaper after reading "Way North of the Border" by Eduardo Porter and Elisabeth Malkin. Here's the paragraph on which they construct the rest of their story:

Martin Sandoval, Illinois senator, wants to represent Mexicans too - 09/28/05

Martin Sandoval is a state Senator from Illinois. He's also running for a seat on Mexico's "Institute for Mexicans Abroad" advisory council: Sandoval would be the first elected official in the U.S. to serve on the advisory council. That raises the peculiar prospect of the Cicero Democrat offering policy advice in an official capacity to Mexican Cabinet members while creating laws in Illinois... As it turns out, no law or rule prohibits it, in Mexico or in Illinois. Mexican officials call it an honorary position... ... "I see no conflict at any point. There are always people who will have...

Report on Mexico's San Antonio encampment - 09/17/05

No, not the century before last, this century, in relation to Katrina relief. A report is here, disclaimers apply: ...The Officer said he has friends and family throughout the United States and has traveled here extensively. He admitted his children will be attending the last two years of high school and college in the United States, because they will have more opportunity here. The officer admitted that Mexico only requires its children to attend school until the 6th grade.

"Why Some Would-Be Immigration Reformers Don't Have the Answer" - 09/14/05

Mark Krikorian discusses the "reality" of those who are pushing for immigration "reform": The Senate is again considering various proposals to address our massive illegal-alien problem, and the competing bills have one thing in common: They claim to offer "realistic" solutions to the supposedly unrealistic desire to enforce the law.

California driver's licenses for sale at Oakland DMV, no questions asked - 09/10/05

There have been several posts about corrupt DMV employees here, including from Arizona, Michigan, Connecticut, and other states. But, this tale is different in a few ways: Veronica Rivera's scam was simple.

Florida Times-Union helps Mexico distribute illegal alien ID cards - 08/31/05

The Mexican government passes out Matricula Consular ID cards to their citizens who are in the U.S. illegally. The cards allow illegal aliens to open bank accounts and in some states obtain driver's licenses. And, Mexican consuls travel from outpost to outpost in the U.S. distributing them to their citizens. On Saturday one of those events was held involving the Florida Times-Union.

"Immigrants" get Matricula Consular cards in Watsonville; some downsides noted - 08/29/05

The Santa Cruz Sentinel article "ID card gives immigrants more opportunity" describes a visit of the Mexican consul to Watsonville, CA to pass out Matricula Consular cards, aka "IDs for illegals." Those ID cards are only of use to illegal aliens, and the Mexican government travels between their outposts in our country passing them out to its citizens who are here illegally.

Mexico's illegal immigration staging areas - 08/18/05

Last week, NM's Richardson called on Mexico to raze Las Chepas, a mostly abandoned outpost that's used as a staging area for illegal immigration and drug smuggling. "Mexico funds staging areas for illegals" has more on that and on Mexico's Grupo Beta: Many of the Mexican aid stations are maintained by Grupo Beta, a Mexican governmentfunded humanitarian organization founded in the early 1990s.

NM's Richardson declares border emergency - 08/12/05

New Mexico's Bill Richardson is pro-open borders and pro-racial solidarity ("...we have to put aside party and think of ourselves as Latinos, as Hispanics, more than we have in the past."), making this report a bit interesting, but not really all that much.

Apparently they don't get google in Tyler Texas - 07/26/05

Lindsay Randall of the Tyler Morning Telegraph covers Henderson and Van Zandt counties.

Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., Mexico, and illegal immigration - 07/14/05

It appears that Utah's new governor, Jon Huntsman Jr., might be on the wrong side as far as Mexico and illegal immigration are concerned. Although he's "defied" Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, he appears to be in lock-step with Our Leader on the U.S. sovereignty and massive illegal immigration issue. Today's "Fox says he's coming to Utah" describes a Huntsman visit to Mexico. The gov. is giddy over the prospect of a Vicente Fox visit, hoping that it's sooner rather than later. Apparently the gov. has a "Utah-Mexico Alliance for Prosperity" plan which will involve more direct flights as well...

"Mexico's Defense of Illegal Immigrants" - 07/14/05

FAIR has a roundup of our wacky meddling neighbors' activities.

"The Great Deceit: The Mexican Drive to Re-colonize the United States" - 07/06/05

I wouldn't go quite as far as the title suggests, but here's a good rundown of the activities of the Mexican government as regards trying to gain as much power over our immigration system as they can.

American forces will appeal anti-American decision - 07/06/05

As previously discussed, the lawsuit challenging Kansas' law that gives illegal aliens a better deal on college tuition than the deal that U.S. citizens receive was dismissed by a federal judge. The WashTimes informs us that the American side is going to appeal in "Challenge dismissed on state tuition for illegals": ..."Standing" is the issue of whether someone is injured by the law. Kris W.

AVWatch: Los Angeles is the "new Ellis Island" - 07/05/05

Speaking in front of a National Education Association convention, Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said that: Los Angeles is an immigration hub, the new mayor said, and "the city of America's hopes and dreams." "Make no mistake, it's irrefutable.

How many illegal aliens is Bush responsible for? - 06/28/05

Part of the answer can be found here. Judicial Watch used the FOIA to request a survey that the Border Patrol did of detained illegal aliens. The key findings from the survey: 1. President Bush's proposal lured greater numbers of illegal immigrants to violate the law. Approximately 45% of respondents crossed illegally based upon rumors of a Bush amnesty program. 2.

Satirizing the Open Borders cheerleaders - 06/18/05

The Seattle Times offers us a guest editorial from software executive Greg James entitled "A pragmatic approach to illegal immigration". At first glance you might think this is a factually-incorrect, simple-minded, ethically-challenged Open Borders screed. But, would a responsible newspaper like the Times print such a thing?

Mexicans flocking to Framingham, Waltham Mass. - 06/13/05

If you read the report "Mexicans flocking to region" about large numbers of Mexicans moving to various cities in Massachusetts, you might notice something a bit strange. It spans three short pages, yet there's only one brief use of the noun immigrants in relation to these Mexicans. In fact, there are so many uses of that latter word I'd quote some of their text but I'm afraid of being accused of keyword stuffing.

"U.S. officials promote programs for Mexican immigrants" - 06/07/05

Can you spot the contradiction in this introductory paragraph from Knight Ridder's "U.S. officials promote programs for Mexican immigrants": U.S.

ACLU: "Cowboys" enforcing immigration laws - 06/06/05

Welcome to the Los Angeles Times' little world. In that world, it's unusual to enforce our immigration laws. Needless to say, the ACLU lives there too. Unfortunately, our "homeland security president" and his underlings live in that very same world. From the LAT comes "Local Police, U.S.

What you can do about illegal immigration - 06/02/05

I hardly agree with everything she writes, but Devvy Kidd does have some useful tips about dealing with illegal immigration. First, do not vacation in Mexico... Second, don't book your business convention in Cancun or any other city in Mexico... Third, stop buying anything made in Mexico or any Latin American countries... Fourth, stop buying any fruits or vegetables from Mexico or Latin American countries... Fifth, get your money out of any bank that is giving home

NYT goes to Idaho, discovers illegal immigration - 05/29/05

Monday's New York Times has a front page article about illegal immigration to Idaho and County Commissioner Robert Vasquez's attempts to do something about it: "A Battle Against Illegal Workers, With an Unlikely Driving Force". In what might be a first for the NYT, it's not a PIIPP, and the bleeding heart "liberalism" of Nina Bernstein is nowhere to be found. It does, however, approach this issue with the idea that being Hispanic implies that one must also support illegal immigration. If that's true, does that mean that all or most Hispanics don't respect our laws and put their race...
