2006

Papers
  1. -Editorial: We Are All Immigrants (MSNBC News)
      "Millions of undocumented immigrants pay income taxes using a special identification number the IRS provides. They pay into the Social Security system, too, even though they're not eligible to collect benefits. In fact, they may be helping to keep the system afloat, with $7 billion currently in a designated suspense file, much of which is believed to have come from undocumented workers."

      "In 2004 there was a backlog of more than 6 million unprocessed immigration petitions, a record high. So much for suggestions that immigrants are lax about regularizing their status. Clearly the laxity is at least partly federal."

  2. Editorial: Bush's Immigration Proposal Divides Conservatives (Bloomberg.com)
      "Why the divergence and vehemence of opinion? The answer, analysts say, is the issue has become a test for a conservative movement unsure of its identity at a time when its leaders have presided over an era of exploding deficits and expanding government."

      "Jeff Bell, an anti-abortion activist and former adviser to Presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, said the divide in the conservative movement reflects 'two different impulses at work: one that sees America as fundamentally a nation of immigrants, and one that fears outside forces are eroding our values.' " 05-06

  3. Immigration and Spirituality (MSNBC News)
      Newsweek interviewed Alex Avila, "the senior producer of LatinoUSA, a nationally syndicated English language radio program produced in Austin, Texas, and distributed by National Public Radio."

      "The legislation brought a sense of urgency in the immigrant community and the students have been waiting for something like this to energize them. And since the Senate didn’t do anything last week, I think there's a sense of urgency still. I don't expect these marches to disappear in the next week. It's Holy week [for Catholics] this week, so they expect to have it off, and I think they'll tie the spiritual and the political." 04-06

  4. Poll: Citizens Overwhelmingly Believe U.S. Not Doing Enough on Illegals (ABC News)
      "The public overwhelmingly says the United States is not doing enough to keep illegal immigrants out of the country."

      "The intensity of this view, moreover, runs high — a majority of Americans, 56 percent, feel 'strongly' that the U.S. isn't doing enough to prevent illegals from gaining entry to this country." 04-06

  5. The Blame for Illegal Immigration (Fox News)
      "Tim Bueler, spokesman for the Minuteman Project, said the Mexican government is complicit in illegal immigration by offering Matricula Consular cards, IDs given to illegals that are accepted by financial institutions as proof of identification and allow illegal immigrants access to U.S. financial services."

      "Hair said stopping the flow of illegal immigrants would end the $50 billion annually in remittances by illegals in the United States to families at home, and that would also require countries to get serious about their own economies." 06-06
