YOU CAN'T STAY ON THE FENCE ABOUT IMMIGRATION

The bitter battle over the immigration bill has become a legislative minefield in this election year, though it's still unclear whether November will see any heavy political fallout as a result.

To put it mildly, this issue is a thorny wilderness, festering intra-party divisions and brewing voter backlashes. It could inflict additional wounds on George W. Bush's battle-scarred presidency, shrink the GOP's congressional Republican majority and, possibly, hurt some vulnerable Democrats.

Let's slice up some of these pitfalls.

Stand Up For America !

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Mexico auto exports soar - records seen

Snip: New models have rolled off assembly lines to supply a healthier-looking U.S. market, boosting the sector after weakness last year partly due to interruptions in U.S. demand.

Murder suspect arrested at Mexico border

Snip: HIDALGO, Texas U.S. Customs officials say a 19-year-old murder suspect from Iowa who had been on the run for two years was arrested as he attempted to enter the United States from Mexico.

Jessie Cortez, of Sioux City, was arrested at the Hidalgo International Bridge yesterday (Sunday) after his fingerprints showed he was wanted on murder charges by the San Juan, Texas, police department.

Mexican National returned to Nashville - faces child murder charges

Snip: Alleged Nashville child murderer Genero Espinosa Dorantes was returned here from his native Mexico Friday, after Mexico honored an extradition request from the U.S. government.

Dorantes had been one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives for his alleged involvement in the February 2003 brutal torture and murder of his 4-year-old stepson. After arriving in San Antonio, Dorantes and his girlfriend, Martha L. Cano Paltan, were transported to Nashville by an FBI private jet.

5 fugitives extradited from Mexico to US

Snip: Also extradited were Hector Aguirre, 23, who is charged in San Bernardino with killing a woman during a 2002 carjacking; Roberto Ramirez Vasquez, 26, who is wanted for murder in Chicago; and Farhad Hakimi, 50, who faces drug charges in Chicago, Eimiller said.

US-Mexico merger opposition intensifies

Snip: Gutierrez said the Bush administration is determined to develop a "border pass" on schedule despite worries about its implementation. The new land pass is to be in effect for Canadians, Americans and Mexicans by Jan. 1, 2008.

The U.S. executives involved in the NACC include: United Parcel Service Inc. Chairman Michael Eskew; Frederick Smith, chairman of FedEx Corp.; Lou Schorsh, chief executive of Mittal Steel USA; Joseph Gilmour, president of New York Life Insurance Co.; William Clay Ford, chairman of Ford Motor Co.; Rick Wagoner, chairman of General Motors Corp.; Raymond Gilmartin, CEO of Merck & Co. Inc.; David O'Reilly, chief executive of Chevron Corp.; Jeffrey Immelt, chairman of General Electric Co.; Lee Scott, president of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.; Robert Stevens, chairman of Lockheed Martin Corp.; Michael Haverty, chairman of Kansas City Southern; Douglas Conant, president of Campbell's Soup Co. and James Kilt, vice-chairman of Gillette Inc.

The concerns about the direction such powerful men could lead Americans without their knowledge is only heightened when interlocking networks are discovered. For instance, one of the components envisioned for this future "North American Union" is a superhighway running from Mexico, through the U.S. and into Canada. It is being promoted by the North American SuperCorridor Coalition, or NASCO, a non-profit group "dedicated to developing the world’s first international, integrated and secure, multi-modal transportation system along the International Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America."
