'Virtual fence' in Arizona remains unworkable because of glitch
Associated Press
TUCSON - Because of a continuing software glitch, the first high-tech "virtual fence" at the nation's borders remains unused, three months after its scheduled debut. Nine 98-foot towers laden with radar, sensors and sophisticated cameras have been built across 28 miles close to the Arizona-Mexico border near Sasabe, southwest of Tucson, in an area heavily trafficked by illegal immigrant and drug smugglers. The towers, each a few miles apart, are intended to deter or detect border-crossers and potential terrorists and to enhance the ability of Border Patrol agents to catch them. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said more testing is expected by early October.

Mexican rigs hitting U.S. pavement today
WorldNetDaily - Congressman: Bush 'hell-bent' to green-light foreign truckers
Trucks owned by Mexican trucking companies and piloted by Mexican drivers are scheduled to hit the pavement of U.S. roadways as early as today, according to an Oregon congressman. U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., late yesterday said what critics call the Bush administration's "stealth plan" to allow Mexican long-haul rigs to run on roads throughout the United States is being launched. "The Bush administration has indicated to me that tomorrow (Friday) they will open the U.S. border to 100 Mexican-domiciled trucking companies," DeFazio said. "This is a sad day for America." DeFazio's anger was evident in his statement. "This administration is hell-bent on opening our borders,” DeFazio said, "but has failed to require that Mexican drivers and trucks meet the same safety and security standards as U.S. drivers and trucks."

Bush put on spot: Where's the fence?
WorldNetDaily - Despite $800 million in funding, only 18 of 854 miles completed
With only a small fraction of the border fence between the U.S. and Mexico complete, California congressman and Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter is warning President Bush the construction mandated by the Secure Fence Act is falling drastically behind schedule. "Unless construction is promptly accelerated," Hunter wrote in a letter to Bush, "deadlines for the completion of fencing will not be met." Hunter's letter was written Monday to be delivered to the White House during the Security and Prosperity Partnership third annual summit that concluded Tuesday in Montebello, Quebec. His criticism that the Bush administration is making no significant progress constructing a fence takes added importance given Bush's refusal to deny that a hidden SPP agenda was in the works to advance North American economic and political integration with the goal of creating a European Union-style North American Union.

Black Americans die while their leaders fiddle
BOND
Have you heard that black Americans are under attack by Hispanic gangs from coast to coast? If you did hear it, you didn't hear it from a black leader. A string of killings – including the recent execution-style murder of three black teenagers in Newark, N.J., allegedly at the hands of six Hispanics – and increased attacks on blacks by Hispanic gangs in California are a wake up call to black Americans. Newark is a "sanctuary city." Mayor Cory Booker says he's not concerned with the immigration status of criminals like Jose Carranza, an illegal from Peru, and the alleged ringleader in the Newark murders. Carranza was able to commit the heinous crime because he'd posted bail on charges that included 31 counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child for repeatedly raping a 5-year old girl. The ethnic cleansing of blacks from lower-income neighborhoods by Hispanic gangs and illegal aliens is a growing phenomenon.

Sanctuary Policy: Killing Americans in Their Own Cities
NewsWithViews.com
American citizens in their own country suffer more deaths via illegal aliens in the United States annually than combat soldiers in Iraq. U.S. House Representative Newt Gingrich said, “There is a war here at home, and it is even more deadly than the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Far more Americans are being killed by violent, evil people here in America than in our official military "combat zones" overseas.”

Cities get at illegal immigrants through cars
USA Today
Communities in Alabama, California, Illinois and elsewhere are using laws that punish drivers without licenses. Cities often tow cars immediately. The laws don't single out illegal immigrants, but some officials say they sought the penalties because more illegal immigrants are living and driving in their towns. Most states do not issue licenses to illegal immigrants. "We have had a substantial decline in our quality of life, our neighborhoods. We believe there is a direct correlation with illegal immigration," says Sam Abed, deputy mayor of Escondido, Calif., who is pushing an ordinance to limit overnight parking on public streets.

Bush to order new crackdown on U.S. border
The Politico
The Bush administration on Friday will announce plans to enlist state and local law enforcement in cracking down on illegal immigrants, which previously was largely a federal function, according to congressional sources. The administration is unveiling a series of tough border control and employer enforcement measures designed to make up for security provisions that failed when Congress rejected a broad rewrite of the nation’s immigration laws in June. The plans are scheduled to be announced at 10:30 a.m. by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez.

Harsh US immigration rules force Microsoft to open shop in Canada
Breitbart.com
US software behemoth Microsoft Corp. said Thursday it would soon open an office in Canada, lamenting tough immigration rules in the United States that make it difficult to hire foreign staff. "It is about recruiting the best and brightest, and right now, the majority are coming from overseas," Marc Seaman, a spokesman for the world's biggest software company, told The Globe and Mail newspaper. "The United States has immigration quotas and some limitations for bringing in people from outside the country," he said. "That challenge is an opportunity for Canada, in the sense that this will bring the top software developers to Canada."

Fallout From Immigration Bill's Failure
Wall Street Journal
John McCain heads to Iraq next week, to celebrate July 4 by helping to swear in re-enlisting soldiers. After the political fire he endured in America's immigration debate, that may feel like a backyard barbecue. The Arizona senator stands as the most obvious loser from Washington's botched attempt to overhaul the immigration laws. Once the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, Mr. McCain has seen his poll numbers dwindle as conservative activists cried "amnesty" over the bipartisan legislation he co-sponsored that offered a path to citizenship for people here illegally. His campaign blames fallout over the issue for contributing to his lagging fund-raising.

Immigrant Bill Dies in Senate; Defeat for Bush
Breitbart.com
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush's immigration plan to legalize as many as 12 million unlawful immigrants while fortifying the border collapsed in the Senate on Thursday, crushing both parties' hopes of addressing the volatile issue before the 2008 elections. The Senate vote to drive a stake through the delicate compromise was a stinging setback for Bush—who had made reshaping immigration laws a centerpiece of his domestic agenda—engineered by members of his own party. It could carry heavy political consequences for Republicans and Democrats, many of whom were eager to show they could act on a complex issue of great interest to the public.

Doubts Emerge About Passage of Immigration Bill
New York Times
WASHINGTON, June 27 — The Senate immigration bill’s chances of passage seemed in doubt late this afternoon as several lawmakers signaled that they were undecided about supporting the legislation. The bill is in more danger “than I thought a few hours ago,” Senator Christopher Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, told Bloomberg News. His comments came after the Senate voted down several attempts to make the immigration bill stricter, including one that would have barred illegal immigrants from a chance for eventual citizenship. But the bill’s very fate was in doubt as senators who voted Tuesday to allow the bill to go forward said today that they were either now against allowing a vote on final passage or were inclined that way.

Immigration bill survives
Boston Herald
A landmark immigration bill is far from a done deal, still, yesterday’s test vote in the Senate was a huge victory for the forces of reason. The Senate voted 64-35 to revive the compromise bill - a carefully constructed, precariously balanced combination of enhanced border security, a guest worker program and a path to citizenship for some 12 million illegal aliens living today within the nation’s borders.

Senators tout immigration bill before crucial vote
CNN.com
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senators pushing a new immigration policy appealed Sunday to wavering supporters on the eve of a renewed debate on whether to grant residency to some 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. A fragile compromise failed in the Senate in early June, then resurrected after bipartisan negotiations with the White House. The bill awaits a crucial test vote this week. With several senators distancing themselves from the proposal, the outcome is too close to call. "We'll see if between the two parties we have 60 votes" needed to keep the bill moving toward a final vote, said Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California. The measure would tighten borders, require workplace verification and create a guest worker program. It also would lay out a way by which the estimated 12 million people illegally in the U.S. could gain legal status and work toward citizenship.
