| Protecting Borders and Other (Not Necessarily) Hot Pursuits |
| Published Tuesday, January 6, 2009 |
| "There is nothing wrong with showcasing vigilant, well-trained border patrol and customs officials, and many do appear to take their responsibilities very seriously. An inspector at the Los Angeles airport gets misty when describing why he is so dedicated. “My kids fly,” he says, tearing up.
But as the camera and high-octane narration zoom from San Ysidro, Calif., to Blaine, Wash., from checkpoint to seaport to mail inspection facility, More>> | | | | US cuts back on sedating deportees with Haldol |
| Published Monday, January 5, 2009 |
| "Federal immigration officials, over the past year, have dramatically curtailed the controversial practice of sedating deportees with powerful anti-psychotic medication.
The move followed court challenges and a public outcry over the practice, which often involved the use of Haldol, a drug used to treat schizophrenia.
Data collected through Freedom of Information Act requests by The Dallas Morning News show that Immigration and More>> | | | | Richardson's Lies Have Finally Caught Up to Him |
| Published Monday, January 5, 2009 |
| "Today, (New Mexico Governor) Richardson's penchant for lying and unsavory associations has finally caught up to him. His withdrawal as Obama's nominee to serve as Commerce Secretary because of an ongoing grand jury investigation into whether he traded New Mexico government contracts for campaign contributions should come as no surprise. Richardson has always been only a step or two ahead of trouble. And there are reports coming out More>> | | | | Sweep Results In Arrests of 110 On Immigration Charges |
| Published Tuesday, December 23, 2008 |
| "A five-day effort by law enforcement to target fugitive aliens has resulted in 110 arrests, including 11 in Tampa. The operation was organized by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, and was aimed at illegal immigrants who ignored orders to leave the country. Of the 110 arrested, 81 fell under that category; the remaining 29 had other immigration violations.
ICE officials said 24 of those arrested had criminal histories. More>> | | | | Immigration-overhaul supporters hope their hour has come |
| Published Friday, December 19, 2008 |
| "Immigrant advocates said Thursday that long-stalled efforts to legalize millions of illegal migrants, crack down on employers who hire them and win more family visas would be revived next year and could possibly succeed in early 2010 following sizable Democratic gains powered by record turnouts of Latino voters in the November election."

| Published Tuesday, December 16, 2008 |
| "One of the big bonuses Democrats enjoyed this year was a surge of support among Hispanic voters, a surge larger than the party would have dared to dream of just a couple of years ago.
Now, one of the biggest questions Democrats face is whether hardening attitudes toward immigration, aggravated by hard economic times and rising unemployment, will push the party down paths that could undercut that Hispanic support, much as hardening More>> | | | | A Cheap Shot at Workers |
| Published Monday, December 15, 2008 |
| "No one expects that the H-2A overhaul will be enough to get most growers to stop hiring illegal immigrants, who work desperately hard for rock-bottom wages. The shortage of farm labor is too great. But by weakening protections for legal workers, the changes would invite abuse and make a flawed program worse."
