- 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. - 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. - 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." - 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. - 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 #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. - 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. - 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. - Free Trade Agreements Spur Illegal Immigration By : Gina-Marie Cheeseman
NAFTA is an acronym which should be mentioned every time the topic of illegal immigration comes up. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - Presidential Candidate: Immigrants Beaten Coast to Coast By : Stewart A. Alexander
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." - 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 - 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. - 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.
