- Screening Out the Immigration Debate to Stay Sane
  Posted by Shemuses
  As an undocumented immigrant, trying to stay informed about legislation that will have a direct impact on my life is no easy task. For the past four years, my mother has barged into my room about twice a month to deliver the latest news in the immigration reform fight. “Mijo we won! We are going to get legalization. They are going to pass a good bill!” my mother would say to me with a look of triumph on her face. This look wouldn’t last long. The following week she would come in and ...

- How much is an immigrant's life worth, exactly?
  Posted by Shemuses from Slate
  How do you justify a border fence? Why is it OK to consign millions of unskilled Mexicans to lives of desperate poverty? I'm told it's because Americans should care more about their countrymen than about a bunch of foreigners. OK, but how much more?

- Forever Foreigners: The American Dream Shattered
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  No matter their personal achievements, the people from other lands unfortunately will never be accepted as full-blooded Americans. An immigrant who manages to attain the house with a white picket fence and 2.5 kids will still be reminded that she/he doesn't belong.

- Senate torpedoes immigration-reform bill
  Posted by Jon from Seattle Times
  The Senate today drove a stake through President Bush's plan to legalize millions of unlawful immigrants, likely postponing major action on immigration until after the 2008 elections. The bill's supporters fell 14 votes short of the 60 needed to limit debate and clear the way for final passage of the legislation, which critics assailed as offering amnesty to illegal immigrants. The vote was 46 to 53 in favor of limiting the debate.

- Media Matters - Boortz: Put up the Fence!
  Posted by theangryindian from Media Matters
  On the June 18 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Neal Boortz advocated building a "double fence along the Mexican border, and stop the damn invasion." Boortz continued: "I don't care if Mexicans pile up against that fence like tumbleweeds in the Santa Ana winds in Southern California. Let 'em. You know, then just run a couple of taco trucks up and down the line, and somebody's gonna be a millionaire out of that." On the June 11 edition of his show, a caller asked, "Why can't

- Matrimony of Rights: Gay Marriage and
  Posted by ptristam from Pierre Tristam
  There’s hope for the United States yet. A bid by the bigoted right and Catholic wrongs to defeat gay marriage in Massachusetts failed. Perfect timing: the similarities between opponents of gay marriage and opponents of amnesty for undocumented immigrants are not only uncanny. They’re almost indistinguishable.

B.C. apologizes for Komagata Maru incident

I’m all for political correctness under most circumstances, but this one kind of reeks of political pandering to me. And misplaced pandering, at that. Why apologise now for that incident, when a whole bunch of injustices perpetrated to two larger Asian immigrant populations in BC – the Chinese and Japanese – remain unanswered? Were earlier apologies for specific incidents supposed to be blanket apologies?

NPR: Bill Gates Targets Visa Rules for Tech Workers

NPR let Gates dodge most of the questions refusing to follow up or request him to answer the question they asked. Gates kept returning to his talking points.

Microsoft | Revamp visa system, Gates urges Congress | Seattle Times Newspaper

Gates seemed to laugh before he answered the question about whether more H1B visa workers depress wages in the U.S. The laugh seems like a tell to me i.e. he’s lying.
