Oh the HUMANITY !!! Those poor,misunderstood al-Qaeda people have been in CIA custody all this time, without so much as a conjugal visit with a goat ! I'm sure you'll want to contribute a few mil for their defense fund.(Group hug,everybody !!)

A surge in the number of volunteers fanning out across Arizona's southern deserts to aid illegal immigrants is expected this summer. The increase comes despite the ongoing prosecution of two volunteers arrested last summer on federal charges they intentionally conspired to transport illegal entrants, leaders of illegal immigrant aid groups said. Shanti A. Sellz and Daniel M. Strauss, both 24, were arrested as they drove illegal entrants to a clinic on July 9 and face trial in October. Leaders of two faith-based groups, No More Deaths and Samaritan Patrol, say they've signed up hundreds of volunteers to deliver food, water...

MEXICO CITY (AP) - A Mexican government commission said Thursday it will suspend plans to distribute border maps to migrants planning to cross the border illegally.

MEXICO CITY - Mexico will suspend its plan to distribute maps to migrants wanting to cross the U.S. border illegally, but an official said Thursday the decision was not made because of American pressure. Miguel Angel Paredes, spokesman for the federal Human Rights Commission, said the decision was made because human rights officials in border states expressed concern that the maps would show anti-immigrant groups where migrants likely would gather. On Wednesday, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the United States opposed the plan "in the strongest terms."

Mexicans Getting Maps, Tips On How To Cross BorderPOSTED: 7:57 am EST January 25, 2006 MEXICO CITY -- A Mexican government commission said Tuesday it will distribute at least 70,000 maps showing highways, rescue beacons and water tanks in the Arizona desert to curb the death toll among illegal border crossers. The National Human Rights Commission, a government-funded agency with independent powers, denied the maps - similar to a comic-style guide booklet Mexico distributed last year - would encourage illegal immigration. Officials said the maps would help guide those in trouble find rescue beacons and areas with cell phone reception....

Yaa, you repukes are not doing so well, huh? Imagine, you repukes control the presidency, both houses of Congress, and appointed 7 of the 9 Supreme Court justices. Yet the Supreme Court thre out sodomy laws in all 50 states and recognized the right of government to seize land for any reason. And you couldn't pass your Social Security changes could you? Sorry, that was your last shot. Come November, we're going to start seeing more Democratic faces in the House. It's the end for you guys. You guys are celebrating when Bush's numbers go *up* to 45%. Then Faux...

Bush’s giant Right Wing Noise Machine (RWNM) loves to preach about the Bush economic miracle. In fact, the RWNM’s current thinking is Bush doesn’t spend enough time talking about his economic triumphs. If only he did, then everyone would fall in line and believe in the great Bush economic miracle. There is one problem with this argument: it’s a lie. Any way you look at the Bush economy, it comes up short. Today, I want to compare Bush’s job creation record with other economic recoveries. As usual, Bush comes up way short. The national Bureau of Economic Research has identified...

Why does anybody support George w Bush as President? He is clearly the worst President I have ever seen -- a complete disaster. And before you say anything, I have been a registered Republican for 25 years.

Mexican officials in the U.S. and abroad are involved in massive and almost daily interference in American c, according to a blistering new report. "Mexican consulates are engineering a backdoor amnesty for their illegal migrants and trying to discredit American immigration enforcement – activities clearly beyond diplomatic bounds,” Heather MacDonald writes in the Dallas Morning News. MacDonald says Mexico is "shameless” in promoting illegal entry into the U.S., citing these examples: The Mexican government publishes and distributes a comic book-style guide on breaching the border safely and evading detection once in the U.S. Mexican officials ordered their consulates to promote...

What would you call it if a neighboring country used its military forces to escort illegal border crossers, including drug-runners, to border areas known to be less secure? I'd call it an act of war. And that's what the Mexican government stands accused of doing this week – not just by the Minuteman Project President Bush derides as a "vigilante" movement, but by Border Patrol officers and elected U.S. officials. President Bush still has a little time to save face – though it is slipping away quickly. He can change directions, admit that the Mexican border poses the No. 1...

AGUA PRIETA, Mexico – Hector Salazar's chases through the desert creosote and sagebrush west of here last week began like many encounters between illegal immigrants and the U.S. Border Patrol. But Salazar works for the Mexican government. He cruises the rough dirt roads of the sprawling La Morita ranch in an orange pickup emblematic of Grupo Beta, the Mexican agency whose mission is to protect immigrants approaching the border, not to arrest them. As he overtook a group of six young men filing north with small backpacks, he told them about the Minutemen who had taken up positions on a...

SAN FRANCISCO---When Ronaldo Labindao came up to the bank officer’s desk on Monday, he looked like any other person here applying for a credit card. He signed a few papers and couldn’t wait to buy a new computer. But Labindao is neither a U.S. citizen nor legal resident. He came to this country from the Philippines in 1995 and illegally overstayed his visa. Labindao is one of the beneficiaries of a new program by California’s Wells Fargo Bank, which gives loan opportunities to individuals without a Social Security Number. “You don’t need to have a credit history to get approved....

LOS ANGELES — Mexican immigrants hoping to cross the Mexico-U.S. border can use an illustrated guide to help them break U.S. immigration laws (search) and live in the United States illegally. The 32-page booklet, free with popular comic books and advertised at bus stations and government offices south of the border, comes courtesy of the Mexican government.

Mexico's Foreign Ministry has produced and distributed a Guide for the Mexican Migrant, which is essentially a "how to" manual for illegal entry into the United States.Unfortunately, it goes even further by providing recommendations for illegal aliens in evading detection of federal authorities once in the United States. ("Avoid attracting attention," etc.) Not once does the guide mention how a Mexican migrant can come to the U.S. legally!While many Americans were shocked to find out that the Mexican government is a witting accomplice in breaking our laws, the assault on our sovereignty by Mexico has been going on for years.Indeed,...

Making mincemeat of the Mexican government is easy. It's a hobby for border dwellers - on both sides of la linea - to laugh and cry over the actions of out-of-touch Mexico City bureaucrats. We've witnessed too many gaffes and missteps to remember. So when critics howled over the Mexican government's newest blunder, I didn't wince. What's another dumb move, I figured. Last month the Mexican government distributed more than 1 million comic books that advise what and what not to do when crossing the border - illegally. Mexico bashers north of the border had a conniption fit. The pocket-size...

Hayworth Condemns Mexican Government Sponsorship of Illegal Immigration Act of 'Deliberate Hostility' Must Cease, Congressman Warns WASHINGTON U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth's first act after being sworn in for a sixth term in Congress was to send a pointed message condemning state-sponsored illegal immigration by the government of Mexico. In a letter to Carlos de Icaza, Mexico's ambassador to the U.S., Rep. Hayworth called the Mexican government's continued encouragement of Mexican citizens to come to the U.S. in violation of our immigration laws "nothing less than an act of deliberate hostility against the United States - an attack on our sovereignty...
