L.A. Resurrects Office to Aid Illegal Aliens
Los Angeles County continues to roll out the welcome mat for illegal aliens. As I reported a few weeks back, Judicial Watch sued the Los Angeles Police Department over a policy that prevents police officers from inquiring about an individual’s immigration status and from cooperating with federal immigration officials.

Now, the Los Angeles Daily News and other news outlets reporting that Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has decided to breathe new life into an office designed to help immigrants take advantage of social services at taxpayers’ expense and “participate in civic life.” (The “Office of Immigrant Affairs” was first established in 2004 with $125,000 in federal funds, but was left out of the budget in 2005.)

As I told the Daily News in an interview earlier this week, much like the day laborer sites cropping up all over the country, the office makes no distinction between helping illegal and legal immigrants. Though the details are not in yet, you can bet that any government office that uses taxpayer resources for illegal aliens and does nothing to enforce our nation’s immigration laws is likely to be on the wrong side of the law.
The Mayor’s decision to establish this assistance program for illegals comes at a time when the U.S. Senate is preparing to vote on an “amnesty” program for illegal aliens. How can politicians not see the connection between providing amnesty, social services, sanctuary policies and other incentive programs for illegal aliens, and the mass infusion of illegals? I believe they can see it. They just choose to ignore it so they can continue to court the flood of “new voters” streaming across the border.
The American people have spoken loud and clear on the issue of illegal immigration. The vast majority want our elected officials to strengthen and enforce our nation’s immigration laws. That’s what Judicial Watch is trying to do.

By the way, while I’m on the subject of illegal immigration, a video transcript of Judicial Watch’s latest educational panel, “New Fronts in the Illegal Immigration Debate” is now available on our Internet site. Here is the link.

Foreign Interests to Bankroll Hillary’s Campaign?
The conservative newspaper Human Events reported recently that “former President Bill Clinton has earned more than $16 million in honoraria from foreign interests, raking in money that could later be used to help finance the expected presidential campaign of his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY).”

Hillary Clinton’s 2004 Senate financial disclosure report shows the Clintons have joint interests in two separate investment accounts worth between $10 million and $50 million. Presumably, Senator Clinton could leverage these assets just as Senator John Kerry leveraged Theresa Heinz Kerry’s personal assets to give his 2004 presidential bid a much-needed financial boost. (Judicial Watch filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission over the illegal campaign contribution, prompting an investigation.) One campaign finance expert told Human Events Clinton would, indeed, be entitled to at least half of the Clinton’s joint assets.
“They now treat that [joint investment accounts] as joint property and the FEC would contend that 50% is hers,” said Cleta Mitchell, a partner on the Foley & Lardner law firm.
Clinton earned a total $22 million for speeches given between 2001 and 2004. The majority – $16.04 million – came from foreign interests, including: The Australian Council for the Peaceful Reunification of China (a pro-Communist Chinese front group), and the Dabbagh Group, “a Saudi financial services, agricultural products, energy services and real estate conglomerate.”
Judicial Watch will be monitoring this issue as part of its “Hillary Watch ‘06” program, which closely monitors the Hillary Clinton’s run for reelection to the Senate.
