The Orange County Register (Santa Ana, CA), February 9, 2010
http://www.ocregister.com/news/immigrants-61460-ocprint-legal-assistance.html Groups alarmed at Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's plan to cut food and health assistance programs for legal immigrants are launching a letter-writing drive. The California Immigrant Policy Center is urging constituents to write to representatives by today to urge saving the programs. Faced by a budget deficit, the governor is proposing cutting a set of programs for legal immigrants, especially those who have been permanent residents for less than five years. 'Once again, California's most vulnerable residents are being asked to shoulder the burden of balancing the state's budget,' the policy center's officials wrote.

http://www.azstarnet.com/news/state-and-regional/article_6af11295-1448-5db3-9d02-5e7372fe512f.html Phoenix (AP) -- Four months after it lost its power to make federal immigration arrests, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said Monday that it plans to train all 881 of its deputies in enforcing federal immigration law. Sheriff Joe Arpaio said local police agencies have the inherent power to enforce federal immigration law without approval from Washington. 'Once they removed that authority, I have said constantly nothing is going to change, and nothing really has changed that much, except that we don't have to do all the reports and be restricted in how many deputies we can use to fight illegal immigration,' Arpaio said....

WARNING: 2010 Census Cautions from the Better Business Bureau Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan Johnson With the U.S. Census process beginning , the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative , but cautious , so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually , more than 140 , 000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name , age , gender , race , and other relevant data. The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice: ** If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door , they will have a badge , a handheld device , a Census Bureau canvas bag , and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However , you should never invite anyone you don't know into your home.
** Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information. Do not give your Social Security number , credit card or banking information to anyone , even if they claim they need it for the U.S. . Census. REMEMBER , NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK , YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS...While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information , such as a salary range , YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security , bank account , or credit card numbers , nor will employees solicit donations. Anyone asking for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau.AND REMEMBER , THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION.. No Acorn worker should approach you saying he/she is with the Census Bureau. Eventually , Census workers may contact you by telephone , mail , or in person at home. However , the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email , so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon
Translation of a Mexico City news story by the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers reveals that the Mexican Senate wants President Felipe Calderon to send a message to the U.S. asking that plans to continue to protect its border against illegal immigration be dropped. (”Mexican Senate reproaches U.S. for measures against migrants”)According to the report, Barack Obama’s plan to finish part of the virtual fence displeased the Mexicans, as did his failure to cut the number of Border Patrol agents. The Mexicans say that Obama “went back on his promise he made to all Hispanic groups that supported him…” The Mexican Senate claims he is “closing the border,” and is asking the Mexican president to manifest “an estrangement” because U.S. border enforcement is a violation of human rights. (This action by the Mexican Senate went unreported in the U.S.) Short-Sighted?

Proposed Budget Forces Governors to Choose Between Safer Borders or Safer Skies
By Janice Kephart
CIS Blog, February 4, 2010
http://cis.org/kephart/safer-borders-safer-skies
Excerpt: In the president's new proposed budget, funding has been zeroed out for the one tool on the books that can help secure domestic aviation by assuring that people are who they say they are. While the president accuses those who work for him of not 'connecting the dots' to stop a terrorist attack, he and his Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, seem to continually fail to do so themselves. This is the case even though Secretary Napolitano seems sincere in her desire to strengthen aviation security. Unfortunately, she does not appear to understand that assuring identity security at airports before boarding is a step closer to connecting a 'dot' to aviation security.

San Diego (IPS) -- Over the past two decades, Ricardo Dominguez has made a career for himself tweaking the sensibilities of government officials and developing software tools meant to disrupt the status quo. Presently, he leads a team at the University of California at San Diego that is designing a mobile application to assist migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. In the future, low-cost cell phones could be placed in the hands of migrants crossing the border illegally. This summer, Dominguez hopes to distribute the phone to church groups and activists working with migrants along the border....

Austin Judge Sam Sparks: No Longer Interested in Upholding the Law
An Austin judge is questioning the prosecution of immigrants citing costs as the problem:
U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks made the comments in an order filed Friday in the cases against three Mexican citizens who were charged with illegal re-entry after being found in Travis County Jail. He wrote that like many of the defendants prosecuted under the federal illegal re-entry law, the men had no significant criminal history. He says it has cost more than $13,350 to jail the three. Sounds like it’s time to replace Judge Sam Sparks and find a judge who is more worried about upholding the laws of our state and our Nation than he is with budget: If you want to know how stupid this idea is, just replace “immigrants” with the criminal of your choice:
- An Austin judge is questioning the prosecution of child molesters citing costs as the problem.
- An Austin judge is questioning the prosecution of car jackers citing costs as the problem.
- An Austin judge is questioning the prosecution of kidnappers citing costs as the problem.
- An Austin judge is questioning the prosecution of bank robbers citing costs as the problem.

Tancredo: Tea Party Movement Can Learn From Anti-Immigrant Amnesty Fight
Posted: 07 Feb 2010
Tom Tancredo
NASHVILLE — Former congressman Tom Tancredo is the only former federal officeholder working the rooms at the National Tea Party Convention, and he followed up a fiery speech last night with a short address today at a breakout session on immigration run by Numbers USA. He informed a crowd of older-skewing activists that Tea Party-style activism helped sink immigration compromises in the Bush era.“I faced two big problems in Congress,” said Tancredo, “the Democrats and the Republicans. … The only way we got anything done was to go around Congress.” Tancredo pointed at his audience. “This kind of thing translates.” By the end of his tenure in Congress, said Tancredo, “I had to put on my tennis shoes and sprint to the floor to introduce an immigration amendment, because everyone else was doing it.”Roy Beck, the executive director of Numbers USA, made the case that stopping illegal immigration was the key to solving most of America’s economic problems. “We imported the health care crisis!” said Beck. “Every year we import one to one and a half million immigrants, and most of them go on welfare.” Beck provided cards with graphs that purported to show how illegal immigration was at the root of America’s biggest problems, and proposed five fixes: Rep. Phil Gingrey’s (R-Ga.) HR 878, which would ban chain immigration; Rep. Bob Goodlatte’s (R-Va.) HR 2305, which would end the lottery; Rep. Heath Shuler’s (D-N.C.) SAVE Act (HR 3308); employment visas; and a SAVE system in general.

This weekend’s Tea Party Convention in Nashville featured a speech by former Congressman Tom Tancredo. He suggested President Obama was elected by folks who couldn’t spell 'vote' or say it in English. Immigration activists say they're watching the growth of the Tea Party movement closely. Immigration reform advocates say they are concerned that an anti-Latino sentiment could grow within the Tea Party crowd. Frank Sharry, who heads up the group America’s Voice, says if that anti-Latino sentiment becomes a big part of the Tea Party movement, Republicans will pay a price....

12. Let's Support Higher State Department Fees for Nonimmigrant Visas
By David North

http://cis.org/north/NIVfees
Excerpt: One of the perpetual problems with America's efforts to manage international migration is that they are always underfunded. The State Department has proposed about $84 million a year in increases in its nonimmigrant (i.e., temporary) visa fees, and has asked for public comment. (See the second page in this notice from the Federal Register). We should all rally around and encourage the State Department in this venture.

MEXICO CITY (By Republic Mexico City Bureau) February 8, 2010 — For months, the leaders of Tancitaro had held firm against the drug lords battling for control of this central Mexican town. Then one morning, after months of threats and violence from the traffickers, they finally surrendered. Before dawn, gunmen kidnapped the elderly fathers of the town administrator and the secretary of the City Council. Within hours, both officials resigned along with the mayor, the entire seven-member City Council, two department heads, the police chief and all 60 police officers. Tancitaro had fallen to the enemy....

The immigration investigator was polite but persistent as he approached the leasing agent at a five-story office building in El Monte. Where is Suite 105? Can I see it? Where is the person who established the business? The leasing agent paused. The businessman was trying to set up the office a year ago, she said, but he never did. Actually, she added, he used the place only as a mailing address. Bingo. According to immigration official Rand L. Gallagher, the visit confirmed his suspicions that the Chinese national in question had filed a fraudulent application for a business visa. The visa petition claimed the El Monte office housed employees who were going to start a U.S. subsidiary of an import-export parent company in China.

Migrant held in death of farmer who'd laid him off
The Associated Press, February 9, 2010
Grand Rapids, MI (AP) -- A migrant worker is jailed without bond after police say he fatally shot the west Michigan fruit farmer who had laid him off. Kent County Sheriff's Department records show 57-year-old Socorro Hurtado-Garcia approached deputies Friday night and told them he had shot 50-year-old Edward Rasch once in the chest. Deputies found Rasch's body inside the work camp trailer where Hurtado-Garcia continued living after being let go from work in December. Hurtado-Garcia, a Mexican native living legally in the U.S., was being held without bond in the Kent County Jail following his arraignment on one count each of open murder and using a firearm in commission of a felony. He faces life in prison if convicted as charged.
Jail records didn't indicate whether he had an attorney. . . .

Former Rep.

He called President Barack Obama a 'committed Socialist ideologue' who was elected because 'we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote.'
Speaking before about 600 delegates of the grassroots movement at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn., Tancredo said, 'You have launched a counter-revolution.' Insisting upon using Obama's middle name, Hussein, the former congressman also said that he was thankful that Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona lost the presidential election in 2008 because Obama's win had mobilized an uprising. He continued: 'People who could not even spell the word 'vote' or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House.'

Edinburg, TX -- Hidalgo County commissioners approved a resolution Tuesday recognizing the contributions of immigrants to the Rio Grande Valley and offering their support to comprehensive immigration reform efforts.Citing the $400 million that immigrants contribute to the state's economy, the resolution calls for change to immigration policies that cause 'great anguish to county residents who daily experience the tragedy of families divided by ineffective laws.' The resolution was approved in advance of a state convention by the Reform Immigration for Texas Alliance where the group will ask Congress to pass legislation that provides a pathway to citizenship for undocumented residents, creates safer communities along the border and establishes a new workers' program.

He was 28. She was 11. Her parents said they gave consent, claiming cultural norms of the Guatemalan highlands. But in Dover, Florida, a little girl with a baby raises questions. When deputies came, Teodoro Pablo-Ramirez understood only some of what they said, according to his lawyer. He speaks no English and little Spanish - just the Mayan tongue of Mam. The indigenous language, understood by few interpreters, has stymied court cases across the country. One interpreting service in Washington resorted to recruiting a Mam speaker out of a jail lobby. In Hillsborough Circuit Court, two cases, both too serious to dismiss, are stalled for lack of a Mam translator. In one, a 4-year-old Wimauma girl was raped. The details are locked inside her mother, who speaks only Mam. And last year, Pablo-Ramirez was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, before the judge granted a motion for retrial. The court could provide only Spanish interpreters. ...

Lincoln (AP) -- Is providing state-funded health care to pregnant, illegal immigrants a cost or a savings? The right or wrong thing to do? Interviews with a cross-section of Nebraska lawmakers show many think it could be a smart financial move and the correct moral path. Gov. Dave Heineman, meanwhile, is staying away from the controversial topic, letting lawmakers take the lead on what is shaping up to be one of the biggest issues of the current legislative session. Some members of the governor's own Republican Party aren't hesitating when asked if the state should continue to pay for the health care of pregnant, illegal immigrants who can't afford it on their own.

Make it harder for companies to hire illegal immigrant workers, and those illegal immigrants won't be able to find work. If they can't find work, they'll leave.
That's partly the thinking behind a bill proposed by Rep. Gary Miller, R-Diamond Bar, that would require employers to verify their employees are citizens or otherwise eligible to work in the U.S.
28. TN labor law penalizing employers of undocumented workers nets few violators

Proponents heralded passage of a state law to penalize employers of undocumented workers as the moment Tennessee's allure to illegal immigrants began to fade. But two years after the Illegal Alien Employment Act went into effect, state officials have closed 12 complaints involving 19 companies, and only one business was formally charged. That tally is well under what the law's supporters say they expected. State Sen. Bill Ketron, R-Murfreesboro, the act's sponsor, said he wants labor officials to explain to the legislative Fiscal Review Committee he chairs why they're not doing more to enforce the act. 'I'm very disappointed in that,' he said. 'The Department of Labor is not doing as the General Assembly instructed.'

State officials are mulling their options after a federal appeals court pruned two key provisions of an immigration law aimed to reduce the number of undocumented workers and families across Oklahoma.

Okla. immigration ruling could affect Ariz. law

Phoenix (AP) -- Groups trying to overturn an Arizona law that prohibits employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants hope their chances of getting the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their appeal were improved this week by a lower court's decision on a similar law in Oklahoma. The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday upheld much of an injunction against Oklahoma's anti-illegal immigrant law, ruling that business groups had legal standing to challenge it. That ruling could be at odds with a 9th Circuit appeals court ruling that upheld an anti-illegal immigration law in Arizona. Lawyers trying to overturn the Arizona law hope the differing rulings will make the Supreme Court more likely to step in and create a uniform interpretation.

Oklahoma ruling could affect Utah immigration law

A court ruling on an Oklahoma immigration law isn't a clear victory for opponents or supporters, but it may eventually lead to changes in Utah's immigration law. The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers both Oklahoma and Utah, ruled on two of the Oklahoma law's provisions that also are in SB81, the bill passed by the 2009 Legislature that enacted Utah's comprehensive immigration reform. The appellate court allowed Oklahoma to require state agencies and state contractors to use the E-Verify system -- a federal electronic database that matches Social Security numbers to identification documents -- to check workers' legal status, but it deemed that federal law supersedes a provision punishing employers who let go an authorized employee while keeping or hiring an undocumented worker for a similar position.
31. Undocumented, uninsured and the unknown
Providing care to undocumented immigrants leaves policymakers and doctors torn between financial hang-ups and a moral obligation to care for the sick.

Elizabeth Frost told her patient at La Clinica to go to the emergency room three times. His heart condition was serious, but the patient, an undocumented immigrant, was afraid of being deported. In the end, a visit to Regions Hospital was unavoidable.
The patient underwent a quadruple bypass, but the procedure came too late. He died three weeks after Frost’s initial warning.
The paralyzing fear of being deported is a dangerous deterrent for uninsured, undocumented immigrants in Minnesota.

Latino advocates and lawmakers say while they welcome new Suffolk police directives to improve communication with non-English-speakers, the action is one small step forward to improving a long tense relationship between police and the community. 'I welcome any initiatives that help bridge the gap between the police department and the community,' said Assemb. Phil Ramos (D-Central Islip). 'But it's a shame that it took a tremendous amount of public outcry and a federal probe to bring these changes.' Suffolk police have issued orders outlining how officers should use interpreters, notify the public of language assistance options and provide written materials in languages other than English.
33. Campos to grill Juvenile Probation Department on failure to follow new sanctuary law

Supervisor David Campos on Tuesday requested a hearing on the Juvenile Probation Department to hold the department accountable for choosing not to stop reporting illegal juvenile immigrants arrested on felonies to ICE for deportation proceedings as called for by recently approved city legislation. As was reported in the Examiner’s Tuesday edition, Campos is not happy with the department’s unwillingness to follow the law approved by the board, which prohibits reporting of juveniles unless they are convicted. That law is supposed to go into effect Feb. 10.

The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles says it's widening a program to provide more secure licenses and identification cards.
The state Advanced Secure Issuance card program follows the federal Real ID Act. It debuted in Carson City last month, and begins Thursday in Reno. Officials say it'll expand to all state DMV offices by mid-March.
35. Proposed bill could reward Hall County for immigration enforcement
By Stephen Gurr
The Gainesville Times (GA), February 9, 2010
http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/news/article/29344/
A state senator wants to reward law enforcement agencies like the Hall County Sheriff’s Office with financial incentives for helping enforce federal immigration law. Only four local law enforcement agencies in Georgia — those in Hall, Cobb, Gwinnett and Whitfield counties — participate in the 287(g) program, which is a partnership with the federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency that allows sheriffs and police to process for deportation those arrested who are in the country illegally. Only 67 law enforcement agencies nationwide have 287(g) agreements with ICE. State Sen. John Wiles, R-Kennesaw, said he would like to see more agencies using the program, and this week proposed creating incentives for participation.
36. A new move against illegal immigrants
Bill would require Md. prisons to notify U.S. of an inmate's status

Some Maryland lawmakers want to require the state prison system to notify federal authorities when an inmate may be in the country unlawfully - potentially resurrecting last year's debate about how the state is responding to an influx of illegal immigrants.
The proposal, backed by a group of powerful Democratic senators that includes Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, came before a committee Tuesday. Sen. James E. DeGrange Sr. of Anne Arundel County said the measure could save the state millions by shifting incarceration costs away from the state by deporting more illegal immigrants.

39. FROM AMERICAN BORDER PATROL: AND NO WONDER NOGALES, AZ IS UNDER SIEGE, RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT IN MEXICO IS NOGALES, SONORA WHERE OVER 90 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MURDERED IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS!
Nat Geo Border Fraud
"Border Wars" Avoids the Real Issue
American Border Patrol -- January 31
National Geographic Television is running a series on the U.S./Mexico border called " Border Wars."
We have criticized Nat Geo for not telling viewers why Nogales, Arizona is " A City Under Siege." We also asked why they didn't explain why the Predator B UAVs don't seem to work very well.
A look at American Border Patrol's mapping of the border fence shows a thirty-mile gap in fencing and vehicle barriers west of Nogales – due mainly to rough terrain. Is this why Nat Geo focused on this place? You bet.
"Border Wars" shows how difficult it is to chase people down after they cross the border, without asking why we can't stop them from crossing in the first place. They simply didn't want to "go there." If they did, they might have to report that a properly designed fence would stop people and drugs - with the possible exception of that section of the border where they focused their effort.
"Border Wars" was produced with the full cooperation of the Department of Homeland Security, which spared no expense to give the viewers and "inside look" at Customs and Border Patrol operations; helping Nat Geo boost ratings and make money. DHS got across the idea that the border really can't be totally protected, while avoiding the fence issue; a very cozy arrangement indeed.
Nat Geo should rename this series "Border Fraud."
40. SURE THEY WANT THE BORDERS OPEN SO THEY CAN TAKE ALL OUR POOR PEOPLE'S & TRADESMEN'S JOBS!

Prensa Libre (Guatemala City, Guatemala) 2/17/10
Guatemala’s President to promote U.S. migratory reform to Obama
Guatemala’s President, Alvaro Colom, said this morning that he will seek to have his counterparts in Central America to lobby jointly for a meeting or at least a phone call with the U.S. President to speak to him about the migratory reform. The opportunity for Colom to lobby with the regional heads of state will be the “Rio Group” meeting to be held in Cancun, Mexico, next week. (This is the Summit Meeting of Latin American and Caribbean Nations, an organization that excludes Canada and the United States.)
During his “Presidential Dispatch” radio program, originating this time from Washington, Colom said, “We are going to ask our companions and friends, presidents of Central America, to seek a meeting with President Obama or a phone communication, so that he may see that we are united.” Guatemala promotes an 11 point initiative so the United States may be aware of it and may take it into account when the time for migratory reform debate comes around, for which reason he has sought the backing of Central American countries.
Benjamin Monterroso, SEIU (Service Employees International Union) and migrant communities leader in the United States, stated in the same radio program that it is necessary to promote lobbying in the United States Senate because he deemed that the chances of starting the immigration reform debate cannot be after March 21st; otherwise, the issue will be delayed three or four years.

Midget sub found
A “semi-submersible” craft nearing the final stages of construction was destroyed by Colombian marines “within the last hours” near Mosquera, on Colombia’s southwest coast. The craft, hidden in dense growth, was 16.9 meters long, 2.75 meters wide and would have the capacity to transport some 7 tons of cocaine. An adjacent shop building and a campground large enough to house 30 persons were both also destroyed. This is the first seizure of this type of vessel this year. Fifty-four semi-submersibles have been detected and “neutralized” since 1993. Twenty of those 54 were found in 2009.
