JAMAICANS OVERSEAS are being urged to become citizens of their adopted countries to strengthen the lobby effort to change unfair immigration laws, and gauge the current deportee situation. The call came from delegates from the United States to Jamaica's recently concluded Diaspora Conference in Kingston. "The Diaspora can be effective in assisting Jamaica with this problem by becoming citizens of their adopted countries and by becoming politically active in their new countries. This push for change to reform the immigration laws in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom to reserve deportation for the most serious of crimes is a long term task that must be approached from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
In 1996, prompted by national security and economic concerns perceived to be associated with illegal immigration, Congress enacted a draconian new sanction for any noncitizen found to have knowingly filed a frivolous application for asylum. Congress amended section 208 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that, if such an application is filed, the noncitizen "shall be permanently ineligible for any benefits" under United States immigration laws. This sanction applies regardless of any future developments in the asylum applicant's home country or personal life that would otherwise provide a basis for granting immigration benefits. The sanction is so sweeping in its scope and implications that it fully deserves its characterization by the courts as an administrative "death se...
President Obama is using his executive authority to grant backdoor amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. In a letter sent to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that the administration's immigration-enforcement efforts would ignore "low-priority cases." That means most criminal aliens can stay, and only convicted felons will get the boot. This new case-by-case-basis interpretation of immigration laws will give illegals a work permit to stick around in the United States, taking jobs away from the 9.1 percent of Americans looking for work. Congressional Democrats, who couldn't get their laissez- faire immigration bill passed last year, applauded the White House move. "I am especially pleased about the impact these new poli...
SECURING THIS nation's southern border has rightly become the primary focus in the debate over illegal immigration. Researchers have estimated that hundreds of thousands of migrants slip across the border each year from Mexico, threatening the economy and public safety in the United States. Still, the subversion of American immigration laws comes in many forms, and officials are clearly making an effort to crack down on one in particular: marriage fraud.
When I first saw the headline with the "Elvira" lead-in, I thought the story was about "Elvira" the scary movie host gone "bats." Upon closer examination I find it is about a professional illegal alien protester/activist protesting her disdain for our immigration laws. Here is the irony in this story. We now have in the United States of America "illegal aliens" telling us our immigration laws are "illegal.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The nation's Roman Catholic bishops and 20 Catholic organizations announced Tuesday they will be lobbying to reform immigration laws in the United States. A main goal of the campaign is helping migrant workers and their families gain some legal status in this country, while challenging prejudice against immigrants.
If front-runner status is measured by fundraising prowess, then Pomona Mayor Norma Torres is the front-runner in the Democratic primary June 3 to represent the 61st Assembly District. Mayor Torres has compiled big money so far, more than $200,000. Fundraising of this scale raises an issue of trust. If elected, can Torres be trusted to serve all of the residents of the 61st Assembly District in Sacramento, and not just her big-money contributors? Torres has staked her leadership on "trust" and the ability "to make changes" in the community. But can she be trusted? And what changes have occurred during her tenure? One fact that remains unchanged is that Pomona is a declared "sanctuary" for illegal immigrants. What has Torres changed about that? No public official should ever endorse illeg...

Change is always welcomed, the consul said. "I've always said that the only thing that remains is change," she said in interview with La Prensa San Diego. "We always have to be prepared for changes. Here in the region there are some important changes taking place and we have to do our best to face them. As a consulate, we have opened lines to improve the services for Mexican nationals. In the role the consulate will play in support of humane immigration reform, Gómez [Arnau] said that "as guests in this country we respect the laws of the United States, but we do point out that part of the solution to the immigration phenomenon is that new legal channels should be open for migrants wanting to come to the U.S."
