Whether the reactions have been those of praise, criticism or simple shock, for the last five years the name F.I.L.T.H.E.E.

This acronym highlights the group’s spirituality as the forefront of their motivation. The word "Immigrants" represents the group’s social/political forum and the struggle of any person or group working to make life better for themselves and future generations.One of the most amazing aspects of the group has to be their uncanny ability to network and move within circles that average Hip Hop artists are not often found.

A multiracial bus queue in Slough, Berkshire.Guardian photograph by Karen Robinson Here's an article from The Guardian that indirectly takes to task a recently released report, which claimed that immigrants in the United Kingdom contribute little or nothing to the country's economy. It's a highly dubious claim since immigrants, contrary to the general perception, pay taxes and spend their money just like everyone else and keep businesses thriving and the economy chugging along. David Rose's report on the town of Slough reminds me of a small town in New Jersey that passed an ordinance banning landlords from renting apartments and houses to undocumented immigrants. The result was that immigrants left the town in droves and many small businesses were shuttered because they no longer had c

Currently, our country has an annual quota of 65,000 temporary H-1B visas for skilled workers and 20,000 for foreign students."It makes no sense to educate people in our universities, often subsidized by U.S. taxpayers, and then insist they return home," Gates told the House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee during a two-hour hearing, CNET reports. Instead, H-1B visas and green cards should be issued for those who are found useful to the United States economy.Gates said that there are not enough scientists and computer specialists in the United States to fill demand.

HAMILTON - After three Butler County car dealerships were accused of selling fake IDs to help illegal immigrants buy cars, a state lawmaker is planning legislation that would add another step to block them from getting temporary license tags or registrations.
“I can’t stop you from buying a car. I think that would be unconstitutional. You have a right to buy anything you want, as long as you have the money. But what I can do is stop you from obtaining a tag or license to put on that car,” said state Rep. Courtney Combs, R-Fairfield.
Combs said Friday that his office has asked the Ohio Legislative Services Commission to research and draft a proposal that would require vehicle purchasers to prove U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status before obtaining a temporary tag

  This is unbelievable, well, actually it is the ACLU so no, it’s not so unbelievable. The ACLU is claiming a person should not be denied a visa to come to the United States to protest the war because of the freedom of speech.
The First Amendment right to freedom of speech should be interpreted as preventing the U.S. government from denying a visa to a foreign critic of U.S. war-time policy who has been invited to speak here, even when national security concerns are cited, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is claiming in a federal lawsuit.
 Now forgive me for asking a stupid question here, but doesn’t the freedom of speech, guaranteed in the UNITED STATES constitution only apply to Americans? Don’t you have to actually be a citizen of the United States to be afforded the protections of the constitution?

Dad didn’t learn much English until he went to public school. Like former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, the language of my father’s home and his close-knit neighborhood was his parents’ regional Italian dialect. By the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, his English was as good as that of any American teenager. It was plenty good enough for him to serve in World War II, survive the major battles of the Pacific theater and return home to build a career as a municipal housing specialist. At home we learned a few slang expressions, but my father balk

Hundreds of illegal migrants have set up a new makeshift camp just a stroll away from the ferries they hope will carry them to a new life in Britain.
The extraordinary new shanty town is, literally, on the edge of Cherbourg Port, in northern France, where hundreds of refugees play a nightly game of cat-and-mouse with the police as they try to get aboard UK-bound passenger and container ships.

This statement by Hillary surprises me more than a little bit. If true it shows an actual grasp of what a backbreaking nightmare giving health care to the poor of the entire hemisphere would be. However, the question I still ask you and myself should be is she telling the truth.

Why do illegal immigrants insist on claiming that U.S. citizens are being racist? Do they even understand what racism is all about? Does the media?For the love of pete -- Racism -- is racially based hatred, oppression or bigotry. It can be systematic or individual. Hispanics are not a race. Latinos are not a race. Illegals are not a race. I will say that some bigots are using the illegal debate to voice their leanings but the debate in our country is not about race because Latino's and hispanics aren't one.They are however, law breakers any way you slice it and 12+ million law breakers tend not to go unnoticed.
Every time I write about immigration I permanently lose readers. This issue truly brings out passion—and hate. But if I do it often enough I can retire and become a blogger emeritus.Just the same—I don't get it.I am willing to bet a tight vagina that illegal immigration does not affect most Americans in any way.The primary concern seems to be that these people are criminals.First of all, most undocumented workers are not criminals. They entered the country under a visa, and overstayed their welcome. Under the US Code this is a civil matter—not criminal.In the hierarchy of criminal law it belongs right up there with a speeding citation.Now those who have entered the country without going through a border inspection have committed a crime. This would be a misdemeanor. And one I feel is much less serious than drunk driving—or even doing a tap dance in a public rest room.
