Por La Raza, Todo! Joe Biden in full pander mode, totally without shame.- by John HillStand With ArizonaFew can equal Vice President Joe Biden as a race-baiting panderer. And Joe is increasingly making his professed amor for "Hispanics" standard fare for his stump speeches pushing amnesty for illegal aliens. Biden never misses an opportunity to put Hispanics - and especially illegals - on a pedestal. In January, addressing a group of newly-elected Latino members of Congress, Biden insisted that "now the nation -- and I might add the hemisphere -- understands the Hispanic community must be courted. Must be courted....

WASHINGTON — Every year, a hand-picked set of special guests sits with the first lady as the president delivers the State of the Union address. This year, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have selected a young, undocumented immigrant from Las Vegas to be in one of their seats of honor.

This news story proves the adage that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. It seems that a US Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement intelligence officer has been embroiled in serious financial impropriety. But wait, that isn’t even HALF the story. It gets much worse. This intelligence officer is a former colonel in the Jordanian Air Force named Ahmed Abdallat.

HARTFORD — The owner of a string of Hartford bodegas was sentenced Monday to more than five years in prison for food stamp fraud, the second time in about a decade he has been convicted, sentenced and ordered deported for the same crime. When he sneaked back into the U.S. from the Dominican Republic in 2000, after being deported the first time, Apolinar Collado, 42, opened and operated a succession of four stores at 29 Mather St., another on Gillett Street and one on Blue Hills Avenue Federal prosecutors said Collado stole about $1.6 million over eight years. They said...

The parents of Olga Franco tell the St. Paul Pioneer Press that she was sending them small amounts of money to help supplement about five dollars a day they earn growing corn. Franco is charged with four counts of criminal vehicular homicide in the crash that killed four students aged 9 to 13. Family members recall her as a loving daughter who helped care for...

One of the invaders entered a bedroom where the father of one of the victims...

A Mexican national was sentenced this week to more than two years in federal prison for supplying stolen citizenship documents and information to workers at a Hyrum, Cache County, meat-packing plant, which was later raided by federal agents as part of a nationwide operation against illegal-immigrant workers. Led into court in a blue jumpsuit with her hands and feet bound in chains, Veronica Carrillo sat calmly as she listened through a Spanish interpreter to her sentence for selling naturalization or citizenship papers. U.S. District Judge Paul Cassell said that, under the charge, he was required to sentence Carrillo to a...

Illegal alien threatens 'campaign of resistance' Fugitive in 'sanctuary' demands suspension of immigration laws Posted: July 2, 2007 5:40 p.m. Eastern © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com An illegal alien who has taken refuge in a Chicago-area church after defying federal law by refusing to follow a deportation order now is calling for the suspension of the nation's immigration laws and a "campaign of resistance." Following the failure of U.S. Senate plan that would have created a legal status for the 12-20 million illegal aliens already in the U.S., Mexican activist Elvira Arellano demanded an immediate moratorium be imposed on all raids and...

Poll: State split on illegal immigration (82 comments; last comment posted October 31, 2005 10:26 pm) print | email this story   The Associated Press |October 31, 2005 ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico has a split personality when it comes to illegal immigrants . Most residents of the state believe illegal immigration is a serious or somewhat serious problem, according a poll commissioned by the Albuquerque Journal, which reported the results Sunday. A majority of New Mexicans believe illegal immigrants should not receive many of the benefits often tied to citizenship , such as food stamps, driver’s licenses, college scholarships...

Tales of a nation under attack, which recur when public anxiety rises, multiply at theaters and on TV. Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" is acutely attuned to the zeitgeist of post-9/11 America. In this adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel, Earth is still the most desirable piece of real estate in the Milky Way, the envy of the galactic neighborhood. But this retelling of the alien-invasion story, set in modern-day New Jersey rather than Wells' Edwardian London, tacitly acknowledges American fears of an attack on US cities. A principal aspect of the film is the way a nation unites...

President Bush and his pal, Mexican President Vicente Fox, want to solve the problem of illegal immigration by allowing "guest workers" to pour over the border, so long as they promise to return home after three years. Some anti-immigration activists maintain that's inviting reconquista, a retaking of the American Southwest by Mexico. Which means there is little chance a guest worker plan - aimed at providing cheap labor for farmers and large businesses - will get through Congress. That's because nothing - not gay marriage, the war in Iraq, abortion, you name it - gets Americans arguing as harshly as...

New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) has long been rumored as desperately seeking the democratic nomination for president in 2008. And while many political observers fully expect the power hungry former First Lady to hit the campaign trail within only a few months of being re-elected as a US Senator in 2006, US News & World report claims to have a confirmation of sorts. From USNews.Com's Washington Whispers: Hillary's in… You don't have to take it from us about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's desire to run for president. Her brothers, Hugh and Tony Rodham, say it's true. Friends...

Washington, DC, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- The world's largest group of law enforcement executives said Wednesday it opposes legislation to compel police enforcement of immigration laws. The International Association of Chiefs of Police said it opposes the Clear Law Enforcement For Criminal Alien Removal Act, and urged "Congress to proceed with caution when considering measures that would compel local and state law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration laws."

A few weeks ago I sent Texas Senator John Cornyn an e-mail asking him what he was going to try to do about steming the tide of illegal immigration. I received a reply recently and I thought I'd share his non-answer… My e-mail… Every day more and more illegal aliens cross over our southern border and find their way to cities across the USA. In clear violation of US immigration laws. Some people argue that illegal aliens are coming here to help us, to take jobs that "no one else will take." Well I'm telling you that is an outright...

A fast-growing marsh grass cropping up on the shores of San Francisco Bay looms as one of the nastiest invaders ever to hit the tidelands, experts and government officials say. Introduced innocently in the 1970s to check erosion in the southern reaches of the bay, the grass is building toward a growth explosion that threatens to choke much of the bay unless landowners join to stop it, say officials and researchers studying the problem. Wetlands experts working with the California Coastal Conservancy are leading a campaign to stamp out the existing 500 acres of the grass, Spartina alterniflora or East...
