    Feb 18 3:49 PM US/Eastern
    The US government is holding growing numbers of illegal immigrants in jails far from their lawyers and family, and even sometimes in tents, where their rights are not respected, civil liberties groups say.
    "It’s like Guantanamo Bay, but these people are not terrorists. They are just immigrants," Brent Wilkes, national executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), told AFP. (…)

    To Peter King and Italo Zanzi: Now what were you saying of border security? By Mary MacElveen October 30, 2006
    I need all of you to read in its entirety Cong. Ron Paul’s press release in which he speaks of the NAFTA Superhighway. For those of you who would even vote for a congressional candidate that screams at the top of their lungs for border security such as incumbent Peter King (R 3rd Cong. Dist., NY) and Italo Zanzi who is the Republican challenger to Congressman, Tim Bishop (D 1st (…)

    Italo Zanzi, acts like waving a magic wand will solve illegal immigration
    By Mary MacElveen
    October 29, 2006
    Not every issue is black and white as evident in this Italo Zanzi for congress campaign commercial especially when it says that Zanzi has been fighting this issue for months. In this complex issue concerning illegal immigration, this is when experience does matter. Zanzi acts like he can wave a magic wand and the issue will be solved. The commercial also states that he just (…)

    "When I tell you that the area where I grew up now resembles Tijuana more than the US—well, hang on, you’re about to see what I mean," says Theresa Harmon. Tennessee’s most vociferous anti-immigration organizer has just picked me up, straight from work at a local construction firm, in her red 1986 Mercury Cougar—a "kicker," she calls it fondly, apologizing for the lack of air-conditioning. "Bless your heart—I’m used to the heat," she says, talking her usual mile a (…)

    Fleeing China, Landing In Guantanamo By Hauke Goos July 14, 2006, 05:09 PM In 2000, five men left their homes in northern China to escape the prospect of torture and imprisonment. They dreamed of a future in the United States. Caught up in America’s war on terror along the way, they instead ended up in Guantanamo. It’s been six years since they last saw their families.
    They sit on their beds in a barracks on the outskirts of the city, waiting. The door is ajar, revealing a cloudless late (…)

    by John Spritzler
    The right-wing radio talk show hosts make a big deal about the illegality of illegal immigration. They say it’s wrong to let illegal actions go unpunished and specifically it is wrong to let illegal immigrants stay in the United States. Deport them all, is their solution.
    But why is it illegal for people to migrate across the U.S.-Mexican border in the first place? Why not make it legal, for anybody who wants to, to cross the border?
    I have heard three main reasons (…)

    Canada’s Multiculturalism A Threat Or Grace? By Joshua Hergesheimer Tuesday 27 June 2006, 13:31 Makka Time, 10:31 GMT It has been almost a month since the Canadian city of Toronto woke up to the news that 17 suspects had been arrested in an anti-terror operation.

    Canada, the country north of America considered synonymous with the word (…)

    Don’t Blame Canada By Stephen Lautens June 16, 2006 In the past few weeks, I’ve heard some of the yapping social experts say something that really gets my blood boiling.
    I heard it in reference to two recent incidents - the breaking up of an alleged terrorist plot and a sweep in Toronto that arrested a few truckloads of gang members.
    What was it the enlightened commentators said that got my goat? When it was pointed out the people accused in each case were immigrants or ethnic (…)
