Workers at Oregon's Driver and Motor Vehicle Services have turned in nearly 200 people to police for suspicious documentation, an effort that overwhelmingly singled out Latinos. This summer, the DMV changed a long-standing policy: Rather than simply refuse service to customers suspected of presenting phony or altered documents to obtain licenses or identification, employees began to alert police. From June through August, 140 people were turned in to police -- roughly 94 percent of them with Latino names, according to DMV records obtained by The Oregonian. Oregon State Police and police agencies in Portland, Beaverton and Albany recieved the most...

ABC News, Good Morning America ^ | 10/08/07 | Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer
The question of how to deal with the hundreds of thousands of illegal Mexicans entering the United States each year has become a divisive issue across the country. President Bush signed a bill last year that authorized the construction of a 700-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, which would cost billions of dollars. Related Stories Mexican President Felipe Calderon has called the idea of building the fence "deplorable," and said today on "Good Morning America" that he wanted to strengthen the Mexican economy to keep Mexicans there. "Let me tell you, I think that the only way to stop migration...

Voice of the New Media ^ | 10/08/2007 | Jeff Gannon
One of the Hard Left's most prominent subversive groups is the target of a corruption investigation by the Pennsylvania State Attorney General. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that a whistleblower alleged the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), commonly referred to as the Quakers, diverted funds bequethed to it for medical scholarships to other activities, most likely pro-illegal alien assistance and war resistance. The AFSC is at the center of the Hard Left's network of groups many consider anti-American, including United for Peace and Justice and MoveOn.org. Over the years, the Quakers have been the darling of the Hollywood Left and intellectual...
--Mexican leader critiques U.S. border fence

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon criticized the planned U.S. border fence designed to stem illegal immigration, saying countries should be "building bridges, not fences" in an interview broadcast on Monday. On ABC television's "Good Morning America," Calderon lauded President George W. Bush's failed attempt to get the U.S. Congress to approve comprehensive immigration reform, and said the way to stop illegal immigration is to build economic growth and opportunities in Mexico, not fences. "The world is open in new ways," he said. "We are building fences instead of bridges." The U.S. Congress last year authorized construction of 700...

ALBANY - The images and commentary aren't subtle: Osama bin Laden hanging out in a New York City taxi driver's seat, a blog headlined "Moron Spitzer Forges Ahead with Licenses for Illegals." Gov. Eliot Spitzer's plan to make it easier for undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses has been roundly assailed. "Crazy," said a county clerk. A threat to national security, said Rep. Randy Kuhl (R-N.Y.). A Poughkeepsie Journal editorial took a more measured approach, but still noted "taxpayers have a right to be both perplexed and outraged" over Spitzer's plan. In the Capitol, the political discourse has been more...

October 8, 2007 -- WHEN I got my first driver's license at 16, my parents told me that having a license is a privilege that I should take very seriously. It looks like young Eliot Spitzer never got that Civics 101 lecture.

Police urged not to check legal status Activists want immigration standing off-limits in stops
Christine Neumann-Ortiz had heard enough stories about immigrants facing deportation after traffic stops or random encounters with police, so the immigrant rights leader went right to the source of concern. Neumann-Ortiz is asking local police departments for new policies to prevent officers from questioning people about their immigration status during unrelated investigations. Some departments are going along. A policy Milwaukee police officials adopted recently prohibits officers from asking immigration questions or alerting federal authorities to suspected illegal immigrants,...

--Illegals may give state more clout - more seats in Congress

Illegals may give state more clout Undocumented population may give California more seats in Congress Illegal immigration is channeling political clout to California and other border states from the Northeast and Midwest, according to a new report that predicts that California's undocumented population will equate to two seats in Congress following the 2010 Census. The Connecticut report predicts that California, Arizona, Texas, Florida and New Jersey will gain seats in Congress after the next Census because of their illegal immigrant populations. Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, and Ohio will each lose a seat because they have relatively few undocumented immigrants.
