Bush Told ICE NOT to arrest Obama's Illegal Immigrant Aunt! Monday, January 26 @ 10:27:24 EST by admin (1725 reads) | Obama to review rule limiting immigration arrests
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Homeland Security
Department still is requiring high-level approval before federal
immigration agents can arrest fugitives, a rule quietly imposed by the
Bush administration days before the election of Barack Obama, whose
aunt has been living in the United States illegally.
The unusual directive from the Homeland Security Department came
amid concerns that such arrests might generate "negative media or
congressional interest," according to a newly disclosed federal
document obtained by The Associated Press.

Bush commutes sentences of former US border agents
1/19/2009 By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — In his final acts of clemency,
President George W. Bush on Monday commuted the prison sentences of two
former U.S. Border Patrol agents whose convictions for shooting a
Mexican drug dealer ignited fierce debate about illegal immigration.
Bush's decision to commute the sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose
Compean, who tried to cover up the shooting (FALSE STATEMENT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS), was welcomed by both
Republican and Democratic members of Congress. They had long argued
that the agents were merely doing their jobs, defending the American
border against criminals. They also maintained that the more than
10-year prison sentences the pair was given were too harsh.

Bush cautions GOP to stay open-minded
WASHINGTON (AP) — Down
to single digits in his days left in office, President George W. Bush
is warning the Republican Party not to become "anti-immigrant" as it
regroups from defeat and retools its leadership.
"It's very important for our party not to narrow its focus, not to
become so inward looking that we drive people away from a philosophy
that is compassionate and decent," the departing president said in an
interview broadcast Sunday, nine days before his term ends. "My call
for our party is to be open-minded."
After Republicans lost control of Congress in 2006, the party took
another thumping in November, when Barack Obama won the presidency and
Democrats expanded their control of the House and Senate. Bush was not
on the ballot either time, but both elections were seen at least partly
as a repudiation of him.
"Obviously, we got whipped in 2008," Bush said.

Bush pardons man that hired illegal immigrants while ignoring Ramos and Compean Monday, December 29 @ 09:22:47 EST by admin (1848 reads) | South Texas rancher given Bush pardon
Conviction is erased for hiring illegal immigrants
AUSTIN — A South Texas rancher got a good-news
phone call Tuesday about a presidential pardon that wipes away a felony
conviction for hiring undocumented workers to harvest his watermelons
16 years ago.
"I really don't know why or anything," said John Allen Aregood, of
Riviera, a ranching town about 11 miles south of Kingsville. "It's just
a good Christmas present."
He was one of 19 people granted pardons Tuesday by President George W. Bush.
The only Texan on the list, Aregood paid a modest fine and served
two years of probation after his conviction for aiding and harboring
unauthorized immigrants.

Treasonous Dictator! Bush Executive Orders Amnesty and Immigration Expansions! Thursday, December 11 @ 10:53:34 EST by admin (3283 reads) | ALIPAC NOTE: Shocking findings! Legal immigration levels have secretly been raised from 1.4 to over 2 million by Bush administration. Executive orders signed in the middle of the night, just before Christmas and the end of his term, that lift any restrictions on imported farm workers. Congress is unaware and has not been asked for approval of these measures. All Americans have been deprived of self governance and representation, America is now under a Dictatorship.

Administration changes to farm worker hiring afoot

Administration changes to farm worker hiring afoot
By SUZANNE GAMBOA –Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — As it prepares to leave office, the Bush
administration is moving to make it easier for U.S. farming companies
to hire foreign field workers, which farmworker groups say will worsen
wages and working conditions.
Farm groups said that changes to the H2A visa program, used by the
agriculture industry to hire temporary farm workers, were posted on the
Labor Department's Web site at midnight Tuesday but have since been
taken down.
Labor Department spokesman Terry Shawn said whatever was posted
wasn't the final version of the new rule, which Shawn said would be
released Thursday and published in the Federal Register on Dec. 18.
The Bush
administration published a proposed version of the new rule last Feb.
13 and received nearly 12,000 public comments, Shawn added. The next
version will be a final rule and can take effect 30 days after
publication. Some of its provisions would take effect in mid-January
and others later in the year, the farmworker groups said.

New Immigration Regulation Eased After Firms Complain
Homeland Security Measure Requires Checks of New Hires
In a concession to business groups, the Homeland Security Department
will significantly scale back its planned crackdown this winter on
federal contractors that hire illegal immigrants.
Under a rule published yesterday, the agency said only contractors that
do more than $100,000 in federal work will be required to use an
electronic government system to check the work documents of new hires.
Originally, officials had proposed that companies doing $3,000 in
federal work must comply.
The agency also said it would require federal contractors to check
only laborers used on specific contracts, instead of their entire
workforce.
The revisions significantly reduce the number of companies that
will be subject to the program, which will apply to federal contracts
and solicitations issued after Jan. 15. The Bush administration had
hoped to make the work eligibility system, called E-Verify, mandatory
for nearly 200,000 government contractors, covering about 4 million
U.S. workers over 10 years.

Bush Defies Congress: Extends Mexican Trucking Project! Tuesday, August 05 @ 09:52:25 EDT by admin (2092 reads) | WASHINGTON – A controversial one-year program allowing Mexican trucks
to travel deep into the United States will be extended for two more
years, federal officials announced Monday.
John H. Hill, administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration, said the extension would allow for the collection of
more data to determine whether Mexican trucks can operate safely in the
United States.
Opponents quickly denounced the move, which some had been expecting
despite their protests that the program poses a danger on U.S.
highways. Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn., chairman of the House Transportation and
Infrastructure Committee, accused U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary
Peters of continuing to “flout the will” of Congress.
He said he would push for the passage of legislation to shut down the
program when Congress returns in September. Last week, Oberstar's
committee approved a bill to end the program on a unanimous bipartisan
vote.

Bush -- 'king' of AIDS immigration? Tuesday, July 01 @ 09:43:50 EDT by admin (2297 reads) | Bush -- 'king' of AIDS immigration?
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 7/1/2008 4:00:00 AMBookmark and Share
Pres BushAn immigration activist is questioning the White House
decision to give foreign nationals with HIV/AIDS a special waiver to
obtain short-term visas to enter the country.
At a recent White House press briefing, Press Secretary Dana Perino was
asked if President Bush agrees with a call by Senators John Kerry
(D-Massachusetts) and Gordon Smith (R-Oregon) for the lifting of a ban
on immigration into the U.S. for those who have HIV or AIDS.
Perino said the president has directed the Secretary of State to
request that the Secretary of Homeland Security initiate a rulemaking
to propose a categorical waiver for HIV-positive people seeking to
enter the United States on short-term visas, which will provide a more
streamlined process.
William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC
(ALIPAC), takes issue with the move. "Whether you feel that people with
HIV should or should not be allowed into the country for treatment or
short-term visas – regardless of how you feel about that – that should
be debated by the American public [and] debated in Congress. And
Congress should set that policy. Bush is playing king again," Gheen
explains.

ALIPAC in LA Times: An immigration end run around the next president Monday, June 23 @ 11:07:01 EDT by admin (2530 reads) | An immigration end run around the next president
With neither Obama
nor McCain sharing their stance on the issue, advocates of stricter
policies are working at the city, state and congressional levels to
change the political landscape.
WASHINGTON -- Just last year, an increasingly powerful grass-roots
movement celebrated its success in killing an effort to legalize
millions of unlawful immigrants. Its influence spread as a procession
of presidential candidates proclaimed their support.
But now there are just two candidates for the nation's top office,
Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.). And both have
taken immigration stands that restrictionist groups find appalling.

Although heavily supported and highly organized, those who oppose
illegal immigration suddenly find themselves without a champion.
"That's the reality we're dealing with: a choice we don't consider
a choice," said Roy Beck, executive director of NumbersUSA, which
advocates stricter controls on legal and illegal immigration. "These
two guys were pretty much at the bottom of all the candidates. They're
the worst, the bottom of the barrel, that ended up winning."

GAO Report: Bush still has US Border Wide Open to Illegal immigrants! Monday, June 16 @ 08:37:10 EDT by admin (2504 reads) | Reports say illegal U.S. entry not difficult
Undercover
investigators testing how tough it is to cross the borders into the
U.S. had a better than nine-in-10 chance of pulling it off using oral
assertions and counterfeit identification, according to a new U.S.
Government Accountability Office report.
The report was released the same week as a separate unrelated report
that indicates tougher border security isn't deterring illegal entries
to the United States.
Tougher security is, however, leading many people to cross through
ports of entry — concealed in vehicles or openly using phony documents
— according to the report by the Center for Comparative Immigration
Studies at the University of California, San Diego.
Even though the smuggling fees are more costly, crossing through
ports of entry has more than doubled since 1995 as "the most foolproof
way of reducing the physical risk," said Wayne Cornelius, center
director.

Immigration raid spurs calls for action against employers Tuesday, June 03 @ 11:59:30 EDT by admin (1753 reads) | DES MOINES, Iowa — After the biggest immigration raid in U.S. history,
hundreds of workers have been sentenced but not one company official as
yet faces any charges — something critics say is typical of a federal
government that is tough on employees but easy on owners.
Worker advocates and lawmakers say the fact that nearly 400 workers
were arrested in the May 12 raid at the Agriprocessors Inc. plant in
Postville — or more than one-third of the total number of employees —
proves that company officials must have known they were hiring illegal
immigrants.
"Until we enforce our immigration laws equally against both
employers and employees who break the law, we will continue to have a
problem with immigration," said U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, an Iowa
Democrat whose district borders Postville.
Such raids are designed to get headlines and make it appear that
the federal government is cracking down on illegal immigration, said
Frank Sharry, executive director of the immigration reform group
America's Voice. But he says even those who think enforcement is the
answer can't seriously believe the 12 million illegal immigrants in the
U.S. can be arrested and deported.
"Even if you wanted to pursue an imbalanced enforcement-first
strategy, the only thoughtful way to do it would be to go after
employers, make examples of them and try to scare other employers into
compliance," he said. "They're not doing that."

Supreme Court rules against IA Death Row murderer Sunday, March 30 @ 12:13:46 EDT by alipac (2275 reads) | Breaking: Supreme Court rules against illegal alien Death Row murderer (and stupid Bush administration), upholds US sovereignty By Michelle Malkin • March 25, 2008 10:42 AM
This is very good news. Congrats to the state of Texas, which had to fight the open-borders lobby and the Bush administration all the way to the high court to prevent international law from superseding American sovereignty:
President Bush overstepped his authority when he ordered a Texas court to grant a new hearing to a Mexican on death row for rape and murder, the Supreme Court said Tuesday.
In a case that mixes presidential power, international relations and the death penalty, the court sided with Texas 6-3.
Bush was in the unusual position of siding with death row prisoner Jose Ernesto Medellin, a Mexican citizen whom police prevented from consulting with Mexican diplomats, as provided by international treaty.

White House Wants 1.4 Billion Stimulus for Mexico Friday, February 15 @ 11:15:39 EST by alipac (2247 reads) | A reader asked me to check into information that President Bush was pushing a massive foreign-aid package to Mexico to help them secure their southern border against the flow of illegal aliens from Central America.
“We can’t even get our own border straight, and we are going to provide Mexico with funding so they can solve their problem,” the reader fumed. “I doubt the Central Americans are staying very long in Mexico anyway. We know where they are going!”
Too outrageously outrageous to be true?
Well, I checked it out and it’s even worse than the reader described. Far worse.
The plan is called “The Merida Initiative.” Seems that the White House has had this plan in the works for nearly a year with little congressional input on either side of the border.

How influential is the CFR on Presidential campaigns? Tuesday, January 22 @ 07:50:40 EST by admin (2201 reads) | WND Exclusive Will secret clubs pick next prez?
CFR, Bilderbergers, Trilateral Commission insiders usually run for, win White House, shows new book
Posted: November 1, 2007
WASHINGTON – It started in 1952.
Nearly every person elected as president of the United States since
then – and nearly every opponent – has belonged to a secretive,
globalism-oriented organization known as the Council on Foreign
Relations.
Some presidents and their challengers have belonged to additional
clubs of internationalists – the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral
Commission. Running mates, too, more often than not have had ties to
the groups.
That the groups exert enormous influence on public policy is
indisputable. What is disputed is whether such groups are, as adherents
and members argue, just discussion forums for movers and shakers, or,
as critics have long alleged, secret societies shaping a new world
order from behind the scenes. On that last point at least, no one could
challenge the critics: All these groups operate in considerable
secrecy, away from the scrutiny of the American public.
Regardless of how one characterizes them, the fact that virtually
all presidents belong to the same secret clubs prompts the author of a
new book to wonder if the 2008 election will also be a contest between
globalist insiders. Judging from the list of frontrunners of each
party, Daniel Estulin, author of "The True Story of the Bilderberg
Group," may be on to something.
According to a variety of sources, the
following presidential candidates are either members of one of the
groups or have strong ties: Hillary Rodham Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt
Romney, Barack Obama, John McCain, John Edwards, Fred Thompson, Joe
Biden, Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson.
Mike Huckabee, though not a member, spoke to the CFR in September.
Since then, his political star has risen to the point that he has
become a top-tier candidate.
