Both Obama, McCain avoid immigration policy discussion
Published Tuesday, July 8, 2008

McCain Balances Dueling Stances on Immigration
Published Tuesday, July 8, 2008
"Early in the Republican nominating contest, Sen. John McCain bucked his party's base with a moderate stance on immigration, offering illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.

Still, he also tells Republican groups that he "got the message" that we must secure the borders first before we decide what to do with the 12 million illegal immigrants already here. No wonder a lot of people think McCain is talking out of both sides of his mouth on immigration. He isn't. Anyone who says that this is a departure More>>
 
Chicago museum opens exhibit on immigration

Immigrant sanctuary laws seen as practical
Published Sunday, July 6, 2008
"San Francisco's 1989 sanctuary law grew out of the religious-based sanctuary movement through which churches across the country offered a safe haven to Central Americans who fled civil war and political persecution but were unable to gain asylum in the United States. For local governments, however, the motivation behind sanctuary policies today has more to do with effective policing than humanitarian impulses." Click here More>>
