| | | Illegal Immigrants Discovered Aboard International Space Station | | 2008-01-03 15:39:00 | | CWT-Houston.

| | Arlington to continue welcoming immigrants in 2008 | | 2008-01-01 16:30:00 | |
Lowell has a post up debunking the myth that high(er) immigration rates lead to an increase in violent crimes, and it looks like Arlington will continue to welcome immigrants according to it's 2008 agenda.
Arlington will continue to welcome immigrants even as more Northern Virginia communities look towards turning them away.
"While others were making scapegoats of immigrants and promoting divisive polices of exclusion," in 2007, J. Walter Tejada, the county's first Hispanic Chairman, said, "Arlington took a stand for justice and inclusion. This will not change in 2008." The newly named Chairman unveiled his three-pronged "Agenda for Progress" Monday during the Board's traditional New Year's Day organizing session. He is promising to eliminate smoking in public places and trans fats from restaurants, promote affordable housing, and improve cultural diversity by working towards policies of inclusion.
Tejada, who immigrated to the U.S. from El Salvador when he was 13, is pledging to promote better personal understandings across the County's diverse cultures. He said the County will work with non-profit organizations to expand opportunities for immigrants to pursue U.S. citizenship. He also wants to provide more assistance for English language training.
Arlington, which I'm proud to call my home, is one of the most diverse counties in the nation and it's no coincidence that we're also one of the most educated.

| | Illegal immigrants leaving Arizona | | 2007-12-22 20:55:31 | | PHOENIX (AP) — Illegal immigrants in Arizona, frustrated with a flagging economy and tough new legislation cracking down on their employers, are returning to their home countries or trying their luck in other states.
For months, immigrants have taken a wait-and-see attitude toward the state’s new employer-sanctions law, which takes effect Jan. 1. The voter-approved legislation [...] | | By: TexasFred's | | |
| | How to feed Immigrants. | | 2007-12-12 14:19:00 | | December 13 … Most experts say that we humans orginated in Africa, which means that all of us have migrant ancestors I guess. Migrating slowly and in a spreading fashion from your place of origin over many millenia is, however, quite a different thing from a sudden transfer across an ocean or two because conditions in your homeland have become untenable. There is no time for cultural adaptation and language-learning for starters, and in fleeing one set of bad conditions, there may be exposure to other less obvious dangers. One of the dangers faced by migrants in their new home is that of being ripped off by unscrupulous persons who take advantage of their confusion and vulnerability. The writer of an article in an American newspaper on this day in 1894 expressed some concern about the potential for abuse of the system of feeding emigrants at Ellis Island – their point of arrival in the United States. It was noted that there was a potential for fraud created by the sale t | | By: The Old Foodie | | |
| | Al-Qaeda in Algeria may mobilise illegal immigrants | | 2007-11-08 13:06:00 | | The so-called Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb may adopt the strategy of recruiting illegal immigrants as it is easy to convince them in view of their difficult social situations, according to security experts. A total of 5,049 foreigners who were illegally staying in Algeria have been arrested by the National Gendarmerie services since January. Of them 3,850 have been repatriated. Most of foreign illegal immigrants come from Niger, Mali, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia, Libya and Syria. More... | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
| | Immigrants Beware | | 2007-08-24 15:40:08 | | Studies are showing that people who attain our shores are healthier than their opposite numbers that are born and raised in this country.

| | Immigrants Don’t Pay Taxes | | 2007-07-26 18:36:49 | | Immigrants– illegal ones– don’t pay taxes. They work off the books, freeload off our health care system, take from welfare, benefit from our legal system and infrastructure, and don’t pay for any of it.
Right?
Let’s think about taxes.
I go to work. Twice a month, let’s say, I get paid. My check doesn’t match the number of hours I worked times my pay per hour. Taxes calculated by my employer and are withheld. No surprise there, at least not to anyone working in the United States. Of course, I work legally. I’m a citizen. Obviously, this wouldn’t be the case if a person were working illegally. Someone working illegally would be paid ‘under the table’ and so would effectively cheat the tax system. Right?
Well… what happens to that ‘under the table’ money? What happens if I hire illegal workers, keep no records, and pay them cash? They pay no taxes, true, but I do. If I pay someone legally, I don’t | | By: Hell's Handmaiden | | |
| | Thieves, rapists, killers… immigrants? | | 2007-07-02 18:12:03 | | Here in the United States, and in many other nations as well, it is difficult to avoid the debate over immigration and immigration reform. I have, however, mostly avoided posting on the topic. The term shows up in a few posts, true, but mostly it is peripheral.
Among the issues related to immigration are health care costs, public service costs, and immigration’s effect on such things as tax revenue, jobs, business, and crime. This latter particularly grates at me.
I realize that it simply isn’t possible to have unrestricted borders, however ideologically appealing that might be to some. Still, the argument from crime annoys me. It annoys me because this is not my experience with immigrants. My experience, while not conclusive in any sense, is much the opposite. My experience is that immigrants are ridiculously hard workers. I wouldn’t even enter that contest. This, obviously, might mean that there is something to arguments revolving around jobs and business. It does | | By: Hell's Handmaiden | | |
| | Secret Bill Written for Amnesty to Illegal Immigrants | | 2007-05-20 00:39:00 | | The Senate is on the verge of passing a bill that has been written in secret and has not even be read which provides total amnesty for 12 million (if you are to believe official figures) illegal aliens already inside the US, allows them to bring in their entire families from outside and ultimately paves the way for foreign occupation of the United States.The immigration reform bill, which has been hailed by President Bush, has been denounced by many commentators and Senators as total amnesty by stealth.It has been drafted in total secrecy with the help of liberal think tanks and Latino national interest groups such as the National Council of La Raza and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which as the Washington Post reported now have virtual veto power in the immigration debate. Some of these groups are notoriously racist and have openly called for revolution . | | By: Full Time Income From Home | | |
