California Supreme Court upholds in-state tuition for immigrants

SAN FRANCISCO – The California Supreme Court on Monday jumped into the politically charged immigration fray when it ruled that illegal immigrants are entitled to the same tuition breaks offered to in-state high school students to attend public colleges and universities. While the ruling applies only to California, the case was closely watched nationally because nine other states, including New York and Texas, have similar laws. “Through their hard work and perseverance, these students have earned the opportunity to attend UC,” said University of California president Mark G. Yudof. “Their accomplishments should not be disregarded or their futures jeopardized.”

ALIPAC supported group fails in effort to get Arizona style law on ballot in Arkansas

A grassroots organization supported by ALIPAC, fell short of gathering enough signatures to get a proposed constitutional amendment on illegal aliens on the ballot this fall. The Secretary of State’s office determined that Secure Arkansas, which proposed a constitutional amendment to prevent illegal aliens from receiving certain public benefits, gathered just 67,542 signatures. That number was arrived at after an initial count and not from the more thorough validation process. The group had been scrambling last week to gather what it thought would be the remaining signatures for the measure. The group said last Friday that it had submitted 78,211 signatures. Sponsors of proposed constitutional amendments must circulate petitions and gather 77,468 valid signatures, or 10 percent of the total MORE

Arizona's Jan Brewer - The politics of deception and gross ignorance

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer,with her severely limited community college education and intellect, accidental governorship, is engaging in more cheap political opportunism with her claim that “illegal immigrants are drug smugglers” During a debate June 15, Brewer lashed out at an opponents assertions that immigrants “just want to work”. “The majority of them, in my opinion and I think in the opinion of law enforcement, is that they’re not coming here to work. They’re coming here and they’re bringing drugs, and they’re doing drop houses, and they’re extorting people, and they’re terrorizing the families,” Brewer said in the debate with candidate Matt Jette. What an airhead, but then, she is a blonde. (No offense to other blondes with intelligence.) Later, she MORE

Strange happenings in the Arizona Desert

I don’t believe in coincidences. The murder of Cochise County Rancher Robert Krentz, last month ignited a firestorm of protest and revived the unconstitutional bill known as SB-1070, from the doldrums of the Senate into a misguided law Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law. Everyone immediately jumped to the conclusion, without any evidence of support, that an “illegal” did it. What was the evidence? Footsteps leading towards Mexico. We found out later that Krentz was killed by a 9mm handgun. Illegal immigrants DO NOT carry weapons, especially one as expensive as a 9mm.

Federal judge questions immigration prosecutions

In an order filed Friday, a federal judge in Austin questioned U.S. prosecutors for seeking criminal convictions in court against some illegal immigrants, writing that the practice “presents a cost to the American taxpayer … that is neither meritorious nor reasonable.” The order by U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks comes as his docket, like others in Texas, is swollen with defendants charged with immigration crimes. Most of those prosecuted in Austin have been identified by immigration officers at the Travis County Jail and charged with illegal entry after deportation. Many of those defendants have no significant criminal history and until a change in enforcement strategy about two years ago would have been deported and not prosecuted.

Game On - Rep. Luis Gutierrez files "CIR-ASAP"

A broad cross-section of House Democrats unveiled a new comprehensive immigration reform bill Tuesday, laying down an early marker for what they hope will be a major 2010 debate. More than 88 co-sponsors have already signed on to the legislation, which is authored by Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and titled the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009, or “CIR ASAP” for short. The bill includes provisions strengthening border security, creating a streamlined employment verification system, altering the visa program to promote the reunification of families and establishing a commission to recommend changes to the current system of H-1B and H-2B visas for skilled workers.

Update on "The Minuteman Wars"

It’s alive and well as Minuteman Project President Jim Glichrist, San Diego Minuteman founder Jeff “Bikini Boy” Schwilk and his ally, ALIPAC President William Gheen trade insults and charges amongst themselves. The haters are truly spreading the hate. Here’s a candid view of what going on from some of the premiere websites of the Pro-Reform movement. We’ve received the same referenced e-mails but Ted Hessen and Patrick Young of Long Island Wins and Dee Perez-Scott of the critically acclaimed blog Immigration Talk with a Mexican American, have given us a wonderful visual image of the “Minutemen Wars” Let’s take a look.

ALIPAC attacks NASCAR's Juan Montoya

Could the lemmings at William Gheen’s ALIPAC.us get more stupid? One would think not until reading a post accusing NASCAR’ #42 driver of being an illegal! Seriously! Is this all this basement dwelling turd blossom and his companions have to do, is try to hang the “illegal” tag on everyone with a Hispanic surname? And  now, they’re attacking the great American tradition that is NASCAR. Here’s the post from a simple minded idiot of ALIPAC:
