 | Immigration: Feds revive amnesty of 1986 |
 Prdgnonr writes "Feds revive amnesty of 1986
About 10,000 people wait in immigration limbo for 22 years
By Thelma Guerrero
Statesman Journal
The federal government plans to give legal status to certain unauthorized immigrants who applied for a 1986 amnesty program but were either unfairly excluded or never received a response to their request.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials said the period to re-apply will be open for one year beginning Feb. 1. CIS is the government agency that oversees lawful immigration into the United States.
It's not known just how many unauthorized immigrants will qualify, but the number is thought to be about 10,000. "

| Immigration: Illegal Immigrants To Get Next Bailout |
Prdgnonr writes "
Illegal Immigrants To Get Next Bailout By IRA MEHLMAN | Posted Friday, November 14, 2008 4:20 PM PT There are disturbing parallels between the financial crisis and America's illegal immigration crisis. In both cases, the irresponsible acts of the few have become the collective burdens of the majority who behaved responsibly and legally. During the campaign, President-elect Obama promised to address immigration policy — with amnesty for millions of illegal aliens as its centerpiece — during his first year in office. |

Prdgnonr writes "Experts debate parameters of Hazleton immigration law In the latest paperwork filed in Hazleton’s immigration case, attorneys debated whether a city ordinance requires residents to check the immigration status of home-repair workers like “Joe the Plumber.”BY KENT JACKSON STAFF WRITER kjackson@standardspeaker.com Published: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 4:15 AM EST In the latest paperwork filed in Hazleton’s immigration case, attorneys debated whether a city ordinance requires residents to check the immigration status of home-repair workers like “Joe the Plumber.”
Kris Kobach, a law professor from the University of Missouri-Kansas City representing the city, said the ordinance doesn’t apply to “casual” laborers such as domestic workers or independent contractors.
Omar Jadwat, representing the American Civil Liberties Union, took the opposite position. |

| Immigration: In Mexico, a Theme Park for Border Crossers |
|
Prdgnonr writes " Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2008 In Mexico, a Theme Park for Border Crossers By Ioan Grillo / Parque Alberto
Men in border-patrol caps tackle a young Mexican to the ground amid jagged rocks and cacti. "You need papers to come to this country. This is not a game!" shouts one agent as he yanks the man's arms behind his back, almost tearing them from his shoulders. It looks like a scene on the U.S. border that would get human rights groups yelling. But actually, it is a game, and it takes place in the mountains of central Mexico. All of the participants are Mexicans, many of whom have paid to be part of the re-enactment of the arrest, part of a border-crossing experience for Saturday-night revelers. |
