- Extremists advocate murder of immigrants, politicians By : Susy Buchanan
"All of you who think there's a peaceful solution to these invaders are wrong. We're going to have to start killing these people," neo-Nazi radio host Hal Turner posted to his website the day after 500,000 immigrant rights activists marched through downtown Los Angeles. - Immigrant Hatred Kills: The Real Problem -- Ileto Murdered For Taking 'American' Jobs By : Edwin A. Sumcad
The more immigrant haters are booed in public, the more they become vicious in their opposition to any humane treatment of illegal aliens in the country. With attitudinal murder in mind, they show their ugly mood in many threatening ways, scaring the wit out of the confused public -- They come here illegally and take our jobs, devour our welfare system, let’s hunt them down like criminals and shoot them if they resist. - Illegal Immigration - A Native American Indian's View By : Carlos Estrella
As a descendant of LEGAL immigrants, it's plain to see that there is strong evidence that the motives of those in these so-called border protectors are more than a little suspect. - Smokescreen - Activists say a Black American anti-immigration movement is gathering steam By : Brentin Mock
In recent months, Anderson and a smattering of other African-American anti-immigration activists, most notably longtime Los Angeles homeless activist Ted Hayes (see interviews with both men), have become the front men for a campaign orchestrated and funded by white anti-immigration leaders. The campaign aims to convert black Americans to their cause, and simultaneously to provide groups like the Minuteman Project and the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) with cover against accusa - America these days - Immigrants celebrating unique differences as minority group By : John Mulaa
Immigrants tend to flock together for a whole host of reasons: the need to connect with those like them, to relive moments of things they experienced back home, and a natural desire to recreate, to some degree, the society they left behind. - Part II: Republican Immigration Disaster and a Democratic President We Can't Elect By : Edwin A. Sumcad
When we X-ray the anatomy of the Republican defeat in the last midterm election we have an eye-catching reading of the following: GOP's immigration disaster, the American public's desperate need for change, and Americans voting against the Republicans, not necessarily voting for the Democrats because they think they are more likable or smarter and more honest than the Republicans. - Border Fence - The Cost is Far Too High By : Stewart A. Alexander
Any attempts to stem the flow of immigration by building walls will never succeed while the irresistible economic facts dictate emigration for unemployed Mexican workers. Even so, an attempt to secure the entire border will cost several times the estimates $49 billion in the CRS report, as the fence voted by Congress only covers one-third of a long border. - Guest Worker Bill in Congress will Expand Exploitation By : Gina-Marie Cheeseman
The Southern Poverty Law Center recently released a report about the guest worker program. The report likened the program to slavery. - Free Trade Agreements Spur Illegal Immigration By : Gina-Marie Cheeseman

Stewart A. Alexander, a president hopeful with the Peace and Freedom Party, is rejecting all elements of the Bush immigration package "from A to Z." - Everyone will benefit with immigration reform By : Donna Poisl
Everyone in this country will benefit if a good plan is put into place. This even includes the people who are so completely against doing anything about the issue. The people who say all illegal immigrants and undocumented workers should be "rounded up and sent back where they came from" will benefit just as much as those who say we should find a way to keep them here. Almost every aspect of our lives will be affected positively. - Everyone will benefit with immigration reform, part #2 By : Donna Poisl
Yesterday I listed several areas in which every person in this country will benefit when there is immigration reform which would legalize the millions of people living here illegally; the military, Social Security, our economy, our future economy, education and national security. That column only talked about our economy, this one will continue with the others, starting with Social Security and our military. - Everyone will benefit with immigration reform (part #3) By : Donna Poisl
A few days ago I listed several areas where we will all benefit when there is immigration reform which would legalize the millions of people living here illegally; the military, Social Security, our economy, our future economy, education and national security. The first column was about our economy, the next one was about the military and Social Security, this one will continue with language and education. - Everyone will benefit with immigration reform (part #4) By : Donna Poisl
A few days ago, when this series started, I listed several areas where we will all benefit when there is immigration reform which would legalize the millions of people living here illegally; the military, Social Security, our economy, our future economy, education $ national security. The first column was about our economy, the second one was about the military and Social Security, the next one was about language and education. This last one will discuss national security & touch on some others. - CNN's Lou Dobbs - The Minister of 'Propaganda and Enlightenment' By : James Opiko
By "stroking and massaging" the dormant "hate genes" residing within the "nativists," Lou Dobbs and other right-wing demagogues are making the process of legislating the immigration issue immensely torturous, if not impossible. It is my opinion that, Lou Dobbs is a tactical propagandist worse than Dr. Joseph Goebbels — "Minister for Public Enlightenment & Propaganda in Nazi Germany." - US Immigration Judgeships - Infested With GOP Loyalists By : Amy Goldstein
The Bush administration has over the last six years, increasingly emphasized partisan political ties over expertise in recent years in selecting the judges who decide the fate of hundreds of thousands of immigrants. These appointments, all made by the attorney general, have begun to reshape a system of courts in which judges, ruling alone, exercise broad powers — deporting each year nearly a quarter-million immigrants, who have limited rights to appeal and no right to an attorney. - Immigration Reform Is Needed, After Bush By : Stewart A. Alexander
A majority of Americans want immigration reform; however they don't want reform by sacrificing the rights of workers, immigrants and their families. Also, the guest worker program contained in the immigration bill was a temporary work program and was an invitation for abuse of emigrant workers. - Integration of Muslims means Disintegration of Europe By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Too little, too late: this expression characterizes the post September 11th European approach to the (important for the Europeans) issue of the social integration of the Muslim populations. - Editorial Observer -- What Part of 'Illegal' Don't You Understand? By : Lawrence Downes
America has a big problem with illegal immigration, but a big part of it stems from the word "illegal." It pollutes the debate. It blocks solutions. Used dispassionately and technically, there is nothing wrong with it. Used as an irreducible modifier for a large and largely decent group of people, it is badly damaging. And as a code word for racial and ethnic hatred, it is detestable. - Texas Vigilante Joe Horn - A Cold-Blooded Murderer! By : James Opiko
Joe Horn - A vigilante emboldened by the on-going "racist anti-immigrant" rhetoric. This stupid "hillbilly" must be punished to set an example to the rest who might want to do the same. - The Immigration Swamp By : Staff Writer
THE IDEA that 12 million illegal residents of the United States can be induced to quit the country en masse within four months is absurd on its face -- a non-starter in logistical, humanitarian, political, diplomatic, commercial and economic terms that would leave an indelible stain on this country for years. - The two faces of the anti-immigrant bigots in the Republican Party By : Nicole Colson
PLENTY OF politicians are willing to look the other way as their anti-immigrant supporters make common cause with the far right. These bigots in suits have only helped move anti-immigrant racism from the margins into the political mainstream. THE VILEST anti-immigrant rhetoric is now accepted as perfectly legitimate in mainstream politics. - Help for immigrants divides congregations By : Andrea Hopkins
Helping illegal immigrants has become an unpopular business in America. On the presidential campaign trail, Republican and Democratic candidates alike have backed down from any previous support for illegal immigrants, and ordinary Americans are treading just as carefully in the face of a growing backlash against the 12 million people here illegally. - Gedrosia of Past Times, Today’s Tyrannized Baluchistan By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Baluchistan reflects some of Asia’s bleakest pages of oppression and tyranny. For centuries the Baluchis were part of the Iranian Empire, at a time the concept of ‘nation’ did not exist in they way we use it today. With the division of the area between the colonial British and the nationalist monarchical regime of Iran, the Baluchis found their land divided by otherwise incomprehensible borders. - Immigrant Deaths in U.S. Detention 'Gulags' Go Unnoticed By : Nina Bernstein
As the country debates stricter enforcement of immigration laws, thousands of people who are not American citizens are being locked up for days, months or years while the government decides whether to deport them. Some have no valid visa; some are legal residents, but have past criminal convictions; others are seeking asylum from persecution. Death is a reality in any jail, and the medical neglect of inmates is a perennial issue. - Beijing's Olympic law on immigration: redefining the fate of African migrants By : Tongkeh Joseph
African migrants in China now face new realities quite similar to the experiences they have had in Europe, America and other parts of the world for decades. This rising "Afro-phobia" in China comes in the backdrop of what the out side world sees as a moment of excellent relations between Africa and China. This article assesses the impact of Beijing's immigration laws on the growing African migrant community in China. - Minorities or Immigrants? The Kven and Sami Peoples of Norway By : Sam Vaknin
During the 18th and 19th centuries, many Finns - destitute farmers and fishermen - emigrated from their homeland and from Sweden and settled in the inhospitable northern reaches of Norway. - Expatriate Women in Asia: Getting a Life By : Jacqueline Reischel
Due to the large number of working spouses resisting their partner’s assignment abroad, employers have realized the need to provide solutions to reduce this. Despite the initial resistance, experienced expatriates like to pass on this advice: there will never be a dull moment and time flies. Although you may not be able to imagine at first, there are many chances to get a busy life if you motivate yourself to do this. - Canada Immigration: What You Need to Know By : Chris Robertson

Immigrants are critical to the country's long-term economic health. Despite the fact that they constitute only 12% of the U.S. population, immigrants have started 52% of Silicon Valley's technology companies and contributed to more than 25% of our global patents. They make up 24% of the U.S. science and engineering workforce holding bachelor's degrees and 47% of science and engineering workers who have PhDs. Immigrants have co-founded firms such as Google, Intel, eBay, and Yahoo!. - American Immigration Detention Concentration Camps -- Immigrants Have Few Rights By : Michelle Roberts
An official Immigration and Customs Enforcement database, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, showed a U.S. detainee population of exactly 32,000 on the evening of Jan. 25. The data show that 18,690 immigrants had no criminal conviction, not even for illegal entry or low-level crimes like trespassing. More than 400 of those with no criminal record had been incarcerated for at least a year. A dozen had been held for three years or more; one man from China had been locked up for more .. - Stalled on Immigration -- Latinos are beginning to wonder why Democrats can't deliver By : Ruben Navarrette Jr.
The spell is wearing off now that Latinos are beginning to wonder why Democrats can't deliver immigration reform even when they have power. Answer: Because not all of them want to deliver. - Naturalized Immigrants Should Be Eligible For The Presidency of The United States By : Michael Lind
Some of the greatest traitors in American history have been natural-born citizens -- Early American traitors included "natural-born" citizen Benedict Arnold, who defected to the British during the Revolution. Jefferson's natural-born vice-president Aaron Burr murdered Hamilton in a duel. "Birthers" say Obama isn't "natural born" and can't be president. Let's make their whole delusional argument moot. - President Obama is no Dobbs or Arpaio.... By : Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez
On the issue of immigration, President Obama is no Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio - the face of racial profiling. Neither is he CNN's resident xenophobe, Lou Dobbs, whose mission in life seems to be to lead the nation into an ethnic cleansing frenzy. Yet up to this point, President Obama's immigration policies simply appear to be enhanced versions of President Bush's anti-immigrant policies. - Neither walls or moats can hold them back By : Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez
That aside, germs, viruses and diseases do not discriminate nor do they ask for legal documentation. They cross borders freely in both directions as neither walls or moats can hold them back. This is the perfect example of why health policies should be in the hands of health professionals, not ideologue politicians. - Leticia X is Human By : Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez
I'll refer to her as Leticia X. She is undocumented but has been in this country since the age of three and is a top student at her high school. Yet, unless the law changes soon, she will be unable to continue with her studies. In gripping testimony, she tells my students at the University of Arizona that it is wrong that she will not be able to attend college next year: "I consider myself a U.S. citizen. It's the only country I've ever known." - The Huehuetlahtolli (Ancient Guidances) re Sheriff Arpaio By : Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez
Beware of the new Sheriff in town; he's actually an old coyote.
He denigrates, dehumanizes and belittles; he's an eater of flesh.
pink underwear, pinstripes and ball and chains are his trademark.
He's actually an old sheriff who lives in another century, in the Wild West.
This is Sheriff Arpaio, of Maricopa County, Apartheid Arizona, .... - Simone Troller’s Insightful on Unaccompanied Migrant Children in Europe. By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
HRW World Report 2010 - The Case for Health Insurance for Illegals By : Andrew Romano
