I read the article. Interesting, to say the least.

However, if you recall, Sanchez talked to Bush about the disgruntled illegal aliens in Iraq when Bush was there Thanksgiving. Then, last week, in Louisiana Bush honored a latino (don't know if he was a citizen or not) at the military base.

My guess is that the next thing we hear will be that the illegals have won the war on terror. You know, "A job that Americans won't do."

Error caused Flash crash: paper

By ELIZABETH BRYANT, United Press International

PARIS, March 3 (UPI) -- Human error and technical problems caused a January charter plane crash off Egypt, a French newspaper reported Wednesday.

The pre-dawn crash of Egypt's Flash Airline near the Sinai tourist resort of Sharm el Sheikh Jan. 3 killed 148 people, most of them French tourists.

French and Egyptian investigators still investigating the incident quickly dismissed chances of a possible terrorist attack.

Now, according to Le Figaro, the probable cause was human error, compounded by technical difficulties.

The newspaper reportedly based its conclusions on conversations recorded by the plane's black boxes, recovered on the Red Sea bed after the crash.

The Flash crew had assumed the automatic pilot was on -- when in fact it was not, Le Figaro said.

Without the automatic pilot, the plane's resulting odd path perplexed the Flash pilot and his copilot -- who apparently never realized the cause.

Louis Arsianian, head of France's airline investigation office, told the newspaper the investigation was ongoing.

Border State Candidates Support Immigration Enforcement

This election year, the president will campaign on a promise to amnesty millions of illegal aliens and institute a guest worker program, while leading Democrats insist that our country should simply grant citizenship to every illegal alien here.

Voters who seek stronger enforcement of our immigration laws (some 85 percent of Americans, according to a recent poll) have nowhere to go.

Almost.

On the state level, there are individuals running for Congress who understand what voters want and have made better enforcement of our immigration laws the centerpiece of their campaigns. Houston police officer John Nickell (search), a Republican, is running for Representative of Texas’ Congressional District 2. The district encompasses the city of Houston, and Nickell, being a police officer, is intimately familiar with some of the problems that come from nearly unchecked illegal immigration along our southern border. The city of Houston, as it happens, has a sanctuary policy (search) that prevents Houston employees from working with federal immigration authorities to apprehend and remove illegal aliens.
