Posted at 11:23am on Jun. 29, 2007 Immigration: Let the seething commence (Hilarious WaPo paragraph)
By Stilichio
The first paragraph in this Washington Post story on the failure of "Immigration reform" is a keeper:
"WASHINGTON -- When President Bush's "grand bargain" on immigration fell apart, Jeff Sessions, the Republican senator from Alabama who is named after a pair of famous Confederates, was very proud."

By Stilichio
Thompson, preparing to formally announce his candidacy, leads the pack in the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey with 27% support. That gives him a four-point advantage over former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani who is currently preferred by 23% of Likely Primary Voters. A week ago, it was Thompson 28% and Giuliani 27%. Two weeks ago, they were tied at 24%. Prior to that time, Giuliani had been on top in every weekly Rasmussen Reports poll for five months

By Stilichio
Washington, D.C. – The U.S. House of Representatives this morning voted to withhold federal emergency services funding for "sanctuary cities" that protect illegal immigrants.
Anti-immmigration champion Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., sponsored the measure, which he says would apply to cities such as Denver and Boulder. He was elated by its passage, which stunned critics and supporters alike.

By Stilichio
Via Fox News:
Details of the immigration compromise remain to be finalized, but top Democratic sources say Reid has closely monitored the behind-the-scenes dickering over policy changes and a finite list of amendments due for consideration. Based on the latest updates on the policy and amendments, Reid will approve the compromise and move late Thursday to put the bill back on the calendar for Senate consideration in the middle of next week.

Posted at 11:02am on Jun. 14, 2007 Immigration debate - Swedish style (Immigration as the end of democracy)
By Stilichio
One of the under-appreciated effects of mass immigration is the re-introduction of Eastern-European doctrines with regards to democracy and freedom of speech. Sweden, of course, is leading the pack:
A local politician in southern Sweden has been fined 18,000 kronor for writing a motion claiming that 95 percent of all heroin brought in to Sweden comes via Kosovo.

Posted at 9:07am on Jun. 14, 2007 The shocking real reason for the Amnesty push?
By Stilichio
Actually, Chertoff said something even more interesting yesterday. A yet unanswered question is “Why is the open borders lobby pushing for amnesty?” After all, they had it pretty good with no federal enforcement.
Chertoff and Kyl both seem to have answered that question recently, Kyl in his Wall Street Journal interview and Chertoff on Fox News yesterday: because businesses are starting to worry about efforts to enforce immigration laws at the local level. One state in the vanguard of that effort is Kyl’s (and McCain’s) home state of Arizona, where the legislature has passed numerous laws (usually vetoed) on the issue, and where the public voted for Prop 200 back in 2004.

GOP Senate Leaders McConnell & Lott on verge of deal to bring amnesty back up for vote
Friends,
Pres. Bush's meeting with Republican Senators at noon appears to be providing just the extra push that pro-amnesty leaders have wanted.
The Senate's top two Republican leaders -- McConnell (R-Ky.) and Lott (R-Miss.) -- are using this opportunity to pull 15 Republicans (of the 38 who voted against amnesty last week) back to Pres. Bush's side.

Posted at 4:11am on Jun. 4, 2007 McCain: Pass Amnesty - or there might be riots.
By Stilichio
Here is John McCain, responding to a question about deportation:
"In case you hadn't noticed, the thousands of people who have been relegated to ghettos have risen up and burned cars in France,'"
he went on:
"They've got huge problems in France. They have tremendous problems. The police can't even go into certain areas in the suburbs of Paris. I don't want that in the suburbs of America.'"

Posted at 4:42pm on Jun. 2, 2007 Bush: "There is an element of our society that is worried about two Americas”
By Stilichio
I assume by "an element" he is referring to "conservatives". Who don't believe in the "decency and humanity of Hispanics".
Oh, and the border fence won't be built where "people don't want it". Read it and weep:
"When you grow up in Texas like I did, you recognize the decency and humanity of Hispanics. And the truth of the matter is, a lot of this immigration debate is driven as a result of Latinos being in our country,” he said. “I have seen firsthand the beautiful stories of people being able to take advantage of opportunity and make solid contributions to our society.”

Posted at 6:46pm on May 24, 2007 France will pay Immigrants to leave the country
By Stilichio
After declining amnesty for illegals, Nicolas Sarkozy takes immigration enforcement one step further:
Under the scheme, Paris will provide each family with a nest egg of €6,000 ($8,000) for when they go back to their country of origin. A similar scheme, which was introduced in 2005 and 2006, was taken up by around 3,000 families.
