May 1 brought marches and rallies to commemorate International Workers' Day to nearly every corner of the globe. Yet even the left was unable to muster much enthusiasm for a socialist holiday that in the United States has morphed into an excuse to demand amnesty for those living and working in the country illegally. That's a message that few are buying when jobs are already in short supply.
In Los Angeles, the epicenter for the pro-amnesty push, only a few thousand people showed up for the city's May Day rally for celebrating the millions who hopped over the border in violation of the law, according to the Los Angeles Times. By contrast, around 60,000 marched a year ago when controversy was fresh over Arizona's new anti-immigration law. A gathering in New York on Sunday saw about a thou...

They said it couldn't be done, but the Mexican border is not quite the sieve it was only a few months ago. The law is not a ass, after all.
The number of Hispanic illegals, mostly Mexicans, crossing the border into the United States is down sharply from a year ago. This is in part because the feds are trying harder to enforce immigration law and in part because the decline of construction jobs makes the United States less attractive to the illegals.

A fifth generation Texan, [Rick Perry] grew up the son of tenant farmers in the small West Texas town of Paint Creek. His start in politics in 1985 was as representative for a West Texas district in the state House of Representatives. Before serving as Lieutenant Governor in 1998, Perry was Commissioner of Agriculture for two terms.
I have submitted a request for a federal Medicaid waiver and asked the federal government to use some of its federal Medicaid funds to help transform health care in Texas from a heavy reliance on hospital-based care to increased access to primary and preventive care. It would provide more low-income Texans with insurance, reduce expensive emergency room visits for basic care, and make it easier for the working poor to buy into employer-sponsored insurance. T...

Just before the recess, the Senate seemed on the verge of a workable compromise. A bipartisan majority of the Senate was poised to approve comprehensive immigration reform, including a new temporary worker visa and legalization of millions of undocumented workers already living here. In contrast to a bill that passed the House in December, the emerging Senate bill would have recognized that immigration enforcement without reform is doomed to failure.
Illegal immigration continues to grow because our immigration law has no legal channel for a peaceful, hardworking immigrant from Mexico or another country to enter the United States legally to fill those jobs even temporarily. The result is large scale illegal immigration.
If Congress hopes to reduce illegal immigration, secure our borders...

ONEONTA, Ala. - Potato farmer Keith Smith saw most of his Hispanic workers leave after Alabama's tough immigration law took effect, so he hired Americans. It hasn't worked out: They show up late, work slower than seasoned farm hands and are ready to call it a day after lunch or by midafternoon. Some quit after a single day.
In Alabama and other parts of the country, farmers must look beyond the nation's borders for labor because many Americans simply don't want the backbreaking, low-paying jobs immigrants are willing to take. Politicians who support the law say over time more unemployed Americans will fill these jobs. They insist it's too early to consider the law a failure, yet numbers from the governor's office show only nominal interest.
