Should Illegal Immigrants be Allowed to Practice Law?
2012-03-26 20:20:00
I think so, assuming they go to law school, pass the bar and are found to be morally fit to practice law – the same hoops everyone else has to jump through. Why not? Right now, courts in Florida and California are considering the cases of illegal immigrants who have applied for law licenses. It’s...

Illegal immigrants are nullifying a bad law By R. Lee Wrights Libertarian c
2011-05-23 02:52:00
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Illegal immigrants are nullifying a bad law by R. Lee Wrights BURNET, Texas (May 29) – President Obama has perfected a politician's most coveted talent, speaking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time while sounding like a great leader. The latest display of how he's honed this skill was a speech he just gave in El Paso, Texas. From one side of his mouth the president said he wanted to do his part to lead a "constructive, civil debate" on immigration, while from the other side of his mouth he accused Republicans of wanting to build an alligator-filled moat along the border. Frank Zappa once said that we were a nation of laws, badly written and randomly enforced. Our immigration laws are a perfect example of that principle in action. Americans routinely ignore or flaunt dumb laws. You do that every time you drive five miles over the speed limit. What many American's do when confronted with a stupid, dumb or unjust law is, in effec...

Obama & Illegal Immigrants: Could He Be One? Questions About SSN I know there has been much said about Obama and his "Long Form" Birth Certificate. While many feel there is a conspiracy that reaches into the deepest depths of government, The real fact, though, there are many questions surrounding Obama that have not been answered. One of which is his Social Security Number (SSN). The trail on Obama's life grows cold very quickly and one has to question if he actually is who he says he is.
Three States Offer Driver Licenses To Illegal Immigrants & Terrorists?

Three States Offer Driver Licenses To Illegal Immigrants & Terrorists? Illegal immigrants are scrambling to gain identification documents since the State of Arizona has implemented Illegal Immigration legislation. As illegals have begun to flee Arizona for fear of being caught, they have set their sights on three specific states that allow them to get licenses without proof of citizenship or residency. Those three states are: Washington, New Mexico and Utah.
Illegal Immigrants Not Just An Issue In America
2010-08-09 11:14:00
Illegal Immigrants Not Just An Issue In America With the recent controversy surrounding the State of Arizona and their Illegal Immigration Law, it should be noted that this issue is not unique to America. European Nations have been dealing with an illegal migration crisis of their own for decades. While there are valid arguments on both sides of the issue, it is important to come to a resolution without ultra-nationalistic attitudes being the baseline of discussions.
Illegal immigrants big winners from botched Illinois health insurance progr

Blago's gift that keeps on givingWho in his right mind would be against health insurance for every child in Illinois?Certainly none of the politicians, health care providers, labor unions and special interests that in 2005 so enthusiastically bought into then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich's All Kids program. Certainly not tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, the major beneficiaries of the program. From Citizen Action/Illinois to the Illinois Hospital Association, from the Chicago Teachers Union to the Peruvian Cultural Center, they all hailed it as some kind of nirvana.They were wrong. Now, five years later, All Kids has turned into just another government botch of a program that has failed to meet expectations. Except for its costs. Those, of course, wildly exceeded expectations....

Obamacare excludes illegal immigrants
2009-09-12 17:24:00
Oh, by the way, President Barack Obama now agrees with eight out of ten Americans when he says illegal immigrants shouldn't receive the same government health care benefits that would be available to everyone who's here legally.The White House has issued, at last, details of its position on benefits for illegal aliens, prompted by the uproar over Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during the president's speech before Congress. Apparently for all its rudeness and inappropriateness, it accomplished something: smoking out the White House position on something. The president's position undoubtedly will disturb those on the far left who believe that citizenship and entering the country illegal mean nothing. But it should be noted that if you read the president's position carefully,...

How Sad Illegal Immigrants Having A Hard Time Getting College Tuition Loans
2008-07-07 21:39:00
Only the USA TODAY would make this sound like a sad story.Some states are making it harder for illegal immigrants to attend college by denying in-state tuition benefits or banning undocumented students.In the past two years, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and Oklahoma have refused in-state tuition benefits to students who entered the USA illegally with their parents but grew up and went to school in the state. That represents a reversal from earlier this decade, when 10 states passed laws allowing in-state rates for such students.This summer, South Carolina became the first state to bar undocumented students from all public colleges and universities.North Carolina's community colleges in May ordered its 58 campuses to stop enrolling undocumented students after the state attorney general said admitting them may violate federal law."The new trend is to kick illegal aliens out of college altogether," says William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee, which o...

REPORT: Illegal immigrants working at SC Statehouse
2008-05-15 22:35:00
OUT OF STATE FIRM HIRED FOR REPAIRS TO STATE CAPITOL BUILDING ALLEGEDLY USING ILLEGAL LABOR FOR JOB Less than a day after the South Carolina Legislature failed to pass a comprehensive immigration reform plan, The Palmetto Scoop has discovered that an out of state firm contracted to make repairs to the statehouse may be using illegal immigrants. The pictures I have obtained show what appears to be at least three Hispanic men identified as employees of Salem Contracting, a North Carolina-based company. The firm’s truck, parked directly in front of the statehouse steps, had North Carolina license plates. When asked if they were legal U.S. residents, the men reportedly shook their head side-to-side indicating “no.” Further attempts to communicate with the men in English were allegedly unsuccessful. I am told that a number of Statehouse officials have become aware of the situation and have attempted to contact immigration enforcement officials. I am investigating this...

Illegal immigrants and quackery in California
2008-05-11 10:53:00
When they get ill, illegal immigrants in California turn to "traditional healers" for help, and for many of them that will be the last mistake they ever make. But that's not the only problem: Public health officials also worry that the lack of access to conventional care may contribute to the spread of communicable diseases. They warn that the rampant use of antibiotics, often without medical direction, may speed the development of resistant bacterial strains. It's another reason why illegal immigration, wherever in the world it happens, should be stopped.

Illegal Immigrants And College
2008-05-10 13:59:00
There is much debate going on these days as to if we should allow Illegal Immigrants to attend Public Institutions of Higher Learning. Some say Taxpayers should not pay for an education for someone who is not supposed to be in the country. Others say that we cannot deny a person an education based on immigration status, thus creating an entire class of second class citizens? Okay?let me point out that? first, they are NOT citizens. second?Why SHOULD we allow them to take up space in a classroom that could other wise be occupied by one of our own kids. Third, and this is the main point?.What good would an education do them anyway??? Without a Green Card, Work Authorization Document, Social Security Card, they couldn?t get a Good job anyway. Why should we educate them, only to have them deported at a later date. Unless their intention is to take that education back to their home country, then? why should we pay for it??? They want a college education, FINE, they can get one on-line, a...

Thousands Rally For Legalizing Illegal Immigrants
2008-05-01 23:42:00
CHICAGO (AP) - Thousands of chanting, flag-waving immigrants and activists rallied in cities across the country Thursday, attempting to reinvigorate calls for immigration reform in a presidential election year in which the economy has taken center stage.From Washington to Miami to Los Angeles, immigrant rights activists demanded citizenship opportunities for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and an end to raids and deportations."We come here to fight for legalization. We're people. We have rights," said Eric Molina, an undocumented factory worker who immigrated to Zion, Ill., from Mexico.Molina, his sister and his 13-year-old daughter Erika, a U.S. citizen, were among about 15,000 people who rallied in Chicago in one of the largest demonstrations of the day.Turnout has fallen sharply since the first nationwide rallies in 2006, when more than 1 million people?at least 400,000 in Chicago alone?clogged streets and brought downtown traffic to a standstill.

California: Hundreds Of Illegal Immigrants Riot At Detention Center
2008-04-24 22:30:00
LANCASTER, Calif. - Hundreds of illegal immigrants awaiting deportation rioted at a county-run detention center and had to be subdued with tear gas, authorities said Wednesday.The riot Tuesday started as a fight between detainees from rival gangs and spread to the detention center's outdoor yard, said Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.Nearby sheriff's stations sent additional deputies to separate the detainees. The brawl was diffused "within minutes" after tear gas was used, said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.Fights among incarcerated gang members periodically break out at state jails, prisons and immigrant detention facilities, sometimes sparking riots.The federal Department of Homeland Security contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to staff and manage the Mira Loma Detention Center in Lancaster, which holds about 900 detainees who are in the process of being deported or awaiting resolution of their cases in immi...

Feds Upset Illegal Immigrants Walking Through Holes In Border Fence
2008-04-12 23:14:00
How about we do something about this? This is ridiculous! Illegal immigrants armed with torches, hacksaws, ladders and even bungee cords are making it around a section of the border fence hailed as the most efficient way to stop them.In the 10 months since the section was put up, the only method federal agents haven't seen is a tunnel — "Yet," said Victor Guzman, the supervisory Border Patrol agent responsible for the stretch of close-together 15-foot cement-filled steel poles planted three feet into the ground.Agents responsible for guarding the stretch of border here "almost immediately" started seeing cuts in the fence. The towering gray and rust colored posts are marked with bright orange spray paint in areas believed to have been breached, Guzman said.Guzman, who has worked in the area for nearly a decade, said agents have found holes cut with acetylene torches, hacksaws and even plasma torches — a high-powered tool that uses inert gas or condensed air to quickly cut throu...

Social Security and illegal immigrants
2008-03-26 05:20:00
By VictorM:The 2008 report of the Social Security Trustees released today the "actuarial balance" of the system is better than it's been since 1993.Wow, how about that? Want to know why? It appears that instead of making up numbers to address illegal immigrants based on the make-up of the general population, they actually built a model that better represents that group.And guess what? Illegal immigrants tend to skew young. This benefits the system. Young people have more children than older people. This benefits the system. Some illegal immigrants pay taxes for a few years and then leave. This benefits the system. Bottom line: "This year's report results in ... a substantial increase in the number of working-age individuals contributing payroll taxes, but a relatively smaller increase in the number of retirement-age individuals receiving benefits in the latter half of the long-range period." Give or take a bit, it turns out that this shores up the Social Security system...

Prince William County begins crackdown on illegal immigrants
2008-03-03 18:52:00
Prince William County, Virginia launched its crackdown on illegal immigrants today, empowering police officers to inquire based on probable cause about the legal status of suspects detained for any offense. County officials are also authorized to deny selected non-emergency, non-educational services to illegal immigrants.The county's effort to avoid racial profiling charges resulted in the authorization of cameras in police cars to eventually monitor the encounters. The camera placements in turn will trigger the need to raise taxes or make budget cuts to offset the added expense. Even if the crackdown isn't overturned in the courts, the enthusiasm that most Prince William County residents seem to feel for this effort may not last when the bills come due. What is more saddening though is the numbers of legal citizens or immigrants who stand to be hurt in the crackdown's undertow through the potential racial profiling, the loss of business, or worse, the loss of beloved relatives. ...

In U.S., some illegal immigrants are rich
2008-02-07 12:59:00
By John Buchanan ATLANTA (Reuters) - Many illegal immigrants in the United States are manual labourers on low wages. But there's another group that attracts much less attention: entrepreneurs who have set up businesses, created jobs and grown affluent. There are up to 20,000 illegal immigrants earning upward of $100,000 a year as entrepreneurs, and their existence challenges the stereotype that illegal immigrants are a drain on the U.S. economy, according to immigration lawyers and academics. Many say they are living the "American Dream," but almost none trumpet their achievements because they fear deportation. One example is a 38-year-old computer engineer who overstayed his visa after arriving from Colombia in 1999. Not long after, he founded a Web design firm in Miami that specializes in e-commerce. Today it's a fast-growing, tax-paying company that recently developed a Web platform for online radio and television that could be a breakthrough technology. &quo...

Use it or lose it - Quasi Illegal Immigrants
2008-01-16 23:33:00
Many Americans complain about illegal immigrants. The election season and the downturn in the economy are not going to shrink the number of complaints. There is a real voter revolt about this issue, mostly in the Republican base. Democrats are also threading the matter very carefully. Both parties fear that Hispanic voters will use immigration reform as a litmus test. In this environment most politicians won't address the issue seriously. Take for example the matter of border controls, also known as the fence issue. Clearly, a country has the right to protect its borders. But what happens when it fails to do so for a long time? Is there really a will in Washington to close the borders? Perhaps not. Perhaps, despite claims on both sides of the isle, there are powerful interests that take advantage of the "open" borders. Even McCain, who after voter revolt now claims to have learned the lesson and wants to... Click on the article title to read the full article.

BBC reorts, " Removed patient 'can't get care'. Ama Sumani left the UK for Ghana on WednesdayA terminally-ill Ghanaian woman who was forced to return home after her UK visa expired is struggling to receive the medical treatment she needs. Ama Sumani, 39, who has cancer and requires kidney dialysis, was removed from a Cardiff hospital and flown back to her home country on Wednesday. But she says she is unable to get care because she cannot pay hospital fees. UK officials said they had checked medical treatment was available in Ghana before she was flown home. Less than 24 hours after being removed from the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, Mrs Sumani attended the main hospital in Accra, Ghana's capital city. The mother-of-two said the hospital had then asked for the equivalent of about $6,000 (£3,060) to cover her kidney dialysis sessions for the next three months.
