Arizona State University has helped as many as 200 illegal immigrants obtain private scholarships this semester to help pay for higher out-of-state tuition they are charged under state law, university President Michael Crow said.


Crow said ASU has set up a program to help students who have graduated from state high schools pay the higher tuition required under voter-approved Proposition 300. The aid has gone to 150 to 200 students, and based on his estimate, the total money provided is about $1.8 million.http://kvoa.com/Global/story.asp?S=7046145

at the same time? This doesn't make any sense to me and it's contradictory. They want freedom of movement and at the same time build a wall to keep people out? It's kinda like saying "I'm gonna lock my bedroom door but everyone is welcome to come watch me and my wife have sex" It just doesn't make any sense. LMAO!...I'm starting to think that the wall thing is just a distraction to calm down all those anti-immigrant people. There's no way they'll build a wall when they are talking about a NAU within 3 years!

Each year, an estimated 400,000 babies are born in the United States to mothers who are illegal immigrants. More than 25 percent of those babies are born in California.

Although Congress has never passed a law saying so, no president has ever ordered it, and no court has ever ruled on the issue, each of these babies automatically becomes a U.S. citizen when it takes its first breath.

That could change if legislation that Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Gold River, joined in sponsoring in April becomes law.

Lungren, who served as California's attorney general from 1990 to 1998 and worked on the last successful push for an immigration overhaul when he represented Long Beach in the Congress in the 1980s, said he is trying to stimulate a debate on what he believes is a key factor drawing immigrants illegally across the U.S.-Mexico border.

Critics have another word for it.

"Xenophobia," said Crystal Williams, deputy director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. "They are afraid of having more Hispanic citizens."

Contributing to the evolution of U.S. policy is the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Ratified in 1868, after the Civil War, it was intended to ensure that children of freed slaves were extended U.S. citizenship. The amendment states simply that anyone born in the United States and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof," is a citizen.

U.S. policy has come to recognize "birthright citizenship" in just about every vital transaction.

It seems as if our leaders are all for the sabatoge of our country and is for giving away the rights and privleges that are supposed to be only for Americans to illegal immigrants. Why have we remained idle...Americans? Why aren't the American masses rising up in mass protest? I am writing every elected official I know of because I am angry! Also, I do not want to be one country with Mexico or Canada! This is America! I am an a American! The Mexicans and Canadians have their own country! They do not need ours! What say you?

hello everyone.

Many people were brought to this country when they were little kids. Now that they are over 18 they face many walls. They can not get a "job", a driver license, they cannot go to college. Why? Because they are not here legally even though this people have lived here all their lifes. Few of my friends face this. One of my good friend can get a job becuase she is here illegally even thought she doesnt even know spanish, she doesnt remember anything about mexico, she graduated from high school with honors. now she cannot get into a university because she is a non-spanish speaking mexican. if she gets deported to mexico, what is she going to do there??oh well too bad for her right???
This is happening everywhere. people being deported back to their countries without having a clue about them.
You know all those good people should get deported. and you know what are they going to do??
Cross the border.
why? because their lives are here
and they are as American as you

mexicans trashed their own country in mexico and for some reason think that their presence in America will make a difference in them being successful. They do not understand that they were part of the problem and that if all the anglos left the US in five years with mexcan leadership it would be another cess pool like their motherland.

Most migrant workers in Britain will have to learn English before they settle in the country under new rules to be introduced by Gordon Brown's government.

The British prime minister is expected to outline the new rules, which are expected to slash the number of people entering Britain by at least 35,000 a year, in a speech to trade union bosses on Monday.

The changes come after Britain introduced new rules for all highly skilled migrants to learn English last December.

I choose the latter. I don't know why US citizens think they are the only Americans on this continent and why some of us think we are better than other Americans because we were born north of the Rio Grande.

According to news sources, the Democrats were asked "why did they support a fence along the Mexican border but not the Canadian border" during tonights "suck up to the illegal aliens event." Can anyone guess as to why we have a need for a fence on the Mexican border but not the Canadian? I'll give you a hint. Which country has illegally dumped nearly 10% of their uneducation population in this country while the other hasn't. Take a wild guess for 10 easy points.

Why cant the U.S. just shut the door, lock it, get more border patrol and get rid of the minuteman, allow citizenship to the immigrants that already live here (with a simple requirement of having them know english) And problem solved.

I'm from the USA, and I am just sick of these spoiled, catty girls who think only about themselves and whoever else is privileged enough to be part of their inner-cirlce. Don't they realize they are doing nothing to progress the human race in a positive way, only divide us further based on superficial, trivial things?? I got called a ***** on the train today for no reason at all by one of these girls, and it is not fair because I try my best to show compassion and tolerance to all people.

I want to move somewhere in the world where girls are not this way. Does a place like that exist?

A controversial Parks Board appointee called police when a group of protesters showed up at her home. They were there to demand Frances Semler's resignation and they're not alone. Both the Hispanic activist group La Raza and the NAACP said they're considering pulling national conventions out of Kansas City if Semler stays on the Parks Board.

A neighbor said that Semler, 73, was worried about her safety when a group of people stood outside her door at 9 p.m. wanting to speak to her and that's why she called police.

Semler's a member of the Minutemen, an anti-illegal immigration group that some see as racist. When her opponents tried to pay her a personal visit, she called police.

"It was myself, two other women and three men. It was not meant to be intimidating," Rita Valenciano with the Hispanic Coalition said.

A police report filed by Semler said the group rang her "doorbell several times and after she didn't answer the door they started banging on the door."

A member of that group said it was trying to hand deliver a letter asking Semler to "immediately resign."

"We wanted to make sure she personally received the letter," Chere Chaney with Interfaith Justice said.

Semler's neighbor Helen Richmond said as an older woman she understands why Semler didn't answer the door.

"Because I don't know who is on the other side," Richmond said. "We have had several break-ins."

Semler wouldn't talk to us in person, but told us on the phone that she has no intention of resigning from the Parks Board or from the Minutemen. Mayor Mark Funkhouser is sticking with her.

"The volume at which they yell at me on something doesn't really change my mind on something. I don't see anything about the debate that is new or different," Mayor Funkhouser said.

But civic leaders said they will keep on making noise until their voices are heard.

Semler said she's not opposed to the Latino community. She's opposed to illegal immigration, but others said groups like the Minutemen encourage discrimination against all Latinos, even those who are citizens.

This is how they get their way. By intimidation and by marching to make DEMANDS! If you don't go along with what they want, this is how they act. Just wait until they get amnesty! We 'ain't seen nuthin yet!'
Who would open up their door at that time of night? Especially if there was a mob outside your door? Not me! Mob rule is coming to your neighborhood in the near future! People will be wearing bandannas over their face when they protest. They are turning America into Mexico!!
