Mexico to honor Sen. Kennedy for defense of migrants

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican government says it will honor U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy for his defense of immigrant rights.
Mexico announced Friday it will award Kennedy the Aguila Azteca, the highest honor the government can bestow on foreign dignitaries.
Kennedy will be presented with a sash in Washington, according to an announcement published by Mexico's federal registry.
Mexico says the Massachusetts Democrat has denounced injustices against migrants and "highlighted the importance of addressing illegal immigration by looking for an integral solution."
The Massachusetts Democrat was diagnosed with brain cancer in May and has been receiving radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

(He has also slandered and defiled the memory of his brother. May GOD have mercy on his soul; because I wouldn't...Let the back-stabber go live the last of his time in Mexico.)

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR-LYING SACKS OF SHEEP SHOWERS...

They are either liars or they are dumb as a box of rocks. I read an article about Obama's and McCain's pandering to illegals for their votes when relistically speaking, it is nothing but a sham and they are both misleading ignorant people and/or setting the stage to push in a corrupt agenda into our government comparable to the Mexican government corruption.

Bascially the truth is this: An illegal voting has as much importance and weight as an American citizen's vote for president: "0". Because of the corrupt creation of the electoral college designed to keep Democracy out of America and the 'mass's voices' silent; only the Representatives of the states have the authority to appoint a new President.

They are laughing at us People. Your voice and your authority with our government has been stolen by the very people who are supposed to be our servants. If the American people keep letting them get away with this vile crime, then you deserve to see your children live in 3rd world conditions.

If you truly believe in Democracy; this mockery of our processes will be stopped and the criminals put behind bars where they belong; and may GOD have mercy on their souls.....

Obama, McCain court rising Latino vote
Hispanics could decide the outcome in some swing states in the West.

San Diego - Hispanic voters are being courted with unprecedented vigor ahead of November's presidential election, amid rising prospects that they could be the decisive bloc in several key battleground states.
Barack Obama and John McCain both seem keenly aware of Hispanics' political growth spurt and of their potential to turn the election, opening offices in Spanish-speaking neighborhoods, trying to win over advocacy groups, and targeting ads to Hispanics. Each is slated to talk to the largest Hispanic rights organization in the US, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), during its annual convention Sunday and Monday in San Diego.
"It's going to be a historic election ... because Latinos are responding in an unprecedented manner to take part," says Clarissa Martinez De Castro, director of immigration and national campaigns for NCLR. "You can't get to the White House anymore without building a relationship [with] and being concerned about the Latino community."
While the political attention is generating a mix of excitement and hope among Hispanics, many NCLR attendees wonder if anything will change as a result. Will it ultimately bring about immigration reform allowing for eventual citizenship for many illegal immigrants, put more Hispanics in high-level administration positions, help end discrimination, or ease the plight of hard-working families coping in tough economic times?
The level of expectation for movement on those issues, dear to the heart of a majority of the Latino community, is likely to determine whether Hispanics vote in larger-than-usual numbers – and for whom. So far, say many NCLR conference-goers from across the US, this election year is ushering in a new era of Hispanic involvement in the political process.
"This is a community that has matured and has the potential to bring out people who any elected official would be interested in," says Lori Saldaña, a member of California's state Assembly and an Obama delegate to next month's Democratic National Convention. Still, she says, the full potential of the Hispanic vote is not yet realized because many citizens aren't registered to vote. The community is starting to stir politically, she says, but has yet to fully wake up and be heard.
About 45.5 million Hispanics live in the United States, making up 15 percent of the population. But because many are not American citizens and cannot vote, they will amount to about 9 percent of eligible voters in November, according to a Pew Hispanic Center report from December. If earlier voting trends hold, Hispanics will comprise only 6.5 percent of overall turnout, the study found.
Despite the low number, this potential swing vote is concentrated in a few hotly contested states. Senator Obama last week was blunt about Hispanics' importance: "This election could well be decided by Latino voters." In the 2004 election, 40,000 Latinos registered to vote in New Mexico didn't turn out, and Democrat John Kerry lost the state by fewer than 6,000 votes.
A Hispanic surge for Obama could help deliver heavily Hispanic Western states to him, says Matt Barreto, a political scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle who researches voter behavior.
A survey of 800 Latino registered voters in 21 states in early June, which Mr. Barreto helped to conduct, found that 60 percent planned to vote for Obama, while Senator McCain garnered 23 percent. The rest were undecided. A June 24 Associated Press-Yahoo News poll showed Obama leading McCain among Hispanics, 47 to 22 percent, with 26 percent undecided.
Presidential candidates paid little heed to Latino voters until 2000, when George W. Bush spent more to reach them than did his Democratic challenger, Al Gore, Barreto says. That election was the "turning point when both campaigns and candidates did major and aggressive Latino outreach," he says. "Before, it was sporadic. It would happen here and there."
Immigration issues are not the most pressing ones for Hispanic voters, says Barreto. His survey put immigration third on their list of important issues, trailing jobs and the economy and the war in Iraq.
"It's the economy, it's healthcare. These are the issues we care about," says Reynaldo Casas, a public-relations director with the Spanish music channel MTV Tr3s during an NCLR panel on Hispanic youths, the media, and the coming vote.
On those issues, McCain can make strides with Hispanic voters, says Bob Pacheco, McCain's Latino coalition chairman for California. His message about supporting small-business owners and working to improve the economy resonates throughout the Hispanic community, which is hurting amid high gasoline prices and the housing crisis, he says. "One thing that is very important in the Latino community is jobs, having a small business, and taxes."
The Hispanic community is also religious – and often very traditional on social issues, says Mr. Pacheco. McCain's conservative message will win over this subset of Hispanics, he predicts. President Bush won about 40 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004.
Still, immigration policy is a concern to many Hispanics, who want the next administration to address it head on.
Assemblywoman Saldaña says McCain will have to "dance a very interesting two-step to serve both his ... Republican base and Latino families who are concerned about raids and deportations."
Last month, during separate appearances at a conference of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, McCain and Obama each pledged to make an overhaul of US immigration policy a priority. McCain said he wouldn't pursue the enforcement-only approach sought by hard-line conservatives, while Obama accused McCain of walking away from comprehensive immigration reform.

I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF

“Triple” Legal Immigration? Say It Ain't So, Lou Dobbs!
By Brenda Walker
Regular viewers of Lou Dobbs Tonight (LDT) who have a critical eye (like me) have long noticed certain glaring omissions in the weekday news hour show’s almost daily coverage of the immigration issue. While admirably strong on Washington's malfeasance regarding law and borders, LDT’s reports about the cultural and environmental effects of an unrelenting tide of foreigners are rare indeed.
A brand new book (The Uprising by David Sirota) quotes Lou Dobbs as saying that tripling the number of legal immigrants would be a fine thing. Dobbs has stated more than once that he supports increased legal immigration, so the quote is entirely believable.
Here's the quote, from page 196:
" ‘If we are to have a national debate and a national dialogue and a decision about national policy and we make a judgment that we're going to raise immigration levels—let's say that we double them, let's say that we triple them—sign me up,’ he says. ‘There's nothing in me that is a restrictionist whatsoever, and I realize that separates me from others who are against illegal immigration on the basis that there is too much immigration. I don't believe that. I do believe that we're not in control of our immigration policies or what's happening in this country. And that leaves me in despair.’
Dobbs has made similar statements on his show. But the "triple" is specific and new.
Curiously for an alleged populist, Dobb’s idea is completely out of touch with the American people's desire that immigration not be increased. His own show reported that sentiment May 29, 2007:
“[CASEY] WIAN: A CBS-New York Times poll released Friday shows only 20 percent of U.S. residents believe legal immigration should be increased; 74 percent say it should be decreased or stay the same.”
Does Dobbs believe that professing support for vastly increased numbers would take some of the heat off? If so, he severely underestimates the savagery of his critics. His repeated efforts to reasonably debate the issue with Raza boss Janet Murguia merely gave her a lot of air time on LDT before she lobbed the dreaded hate speech accusation that finally killed attempts at friendliness.
Lou Dobbs has avoided discussing cultural issues. Other than warning of the social consequences resulting from half of Hispanic males dropping out of high school, he has not explored the cultural dissonance of Mexico as a major immigrant supplier.
The southerly narco-state is one of the least attractive contributors of new immigrants one can imagine—with its social norms of negativity toward education, admiration for crime, corruption throughout various levels of society, crude sexism and strong Marxican tendencies. But Dobbs won't go there.
As usual, ordinary Americans understand the largely negative effect of immigration better than the media elite. Most of the problems incurred with chaotic illegal immigration would continue and worsen if Washington were to vastly increase legal immigration, even if illegal entry were completely ended. Some of the worst criminals and public health risks might be kept out….or maybe not. Given the backlog, inefficiency and corruption that exist now in processing legal immigrants, the bureaucratic overload alone should be seen as prohibitive.
More importantly, how many and which immigrants are accepted should not be determined by the would-be immigrants themselves—a common assumption among open-borders liberals. Nor should it be decided by the business owners, for whom workers can never be too cheap or too exploitable.
The decision of who and how many belongs in the hands of the American people.
And Americans don't want to live in Mexifornia or anything like it, as they have tried to make clear to Washington.
Assimilation is under attack as never before. And that process has to do with two factors: the number of immigrants and the political will that immigrants should become part of the national community.
Polls show that Americans still have traditional expectations of newcomers. A 2005 Rasmussen poll found 67 percent believed immigrants should "adopt America's culture, language, and heritage." A Fox News poll from last winter reported that 61 percent of voters surveyed would choose a President who represents the "shared values of Americans" rather than one who "celebrates the wide diversity" (32 percent).
What's different is the escalating number of immigrants. And when, for example, the majority of kids in a classroom are Spanish-speaking Mexicans with a Hispanic teacher, how do the children learn to become Americans?
As the Center for Immigration Studies’ Steve Camarota observed, "Traditionally you had in the US an immigrant child learning to swim in a sea of native children, but increasingly it is the children of natives lost in a sea of children of immigrants." [How Well Are Muslims Fitting In, By Howard LaFranch, Christian Science Monitor, July 19, 2005]
For a description of how kids learned American history and culture in an earlier time, see Victor Davis Hanson's excellent remembrance of his own education in California's Central Valley: The Civic Education America Needs [City Journal Summer 2002].
A bad development: the central place of English as a cultural glue is fast being eroded. Democrat Presidential candidate Barack H. Obama recently declared his support for a bilingual America:
" ‘When it comes to second-language learners, the most important thing is not to get bogged down in ideology, but figure out what works,’ Obama says. ‘Everybody should be bilingual, or everybody should be trilingual.’ The comments drew loud applause. [...]
“He says he thinks everyone should get a bilingual education in the United States, not just English as a first language learners.” [Obama blog: 'Everybody should be bilingual', Boulder Daily Camera, May 28, 2008]
Sen Obama claims to speak "Indonesian and a little Spanish." His website has a page for Spanish-speaking teachers to profess their admiration and well-founded hope for job security under a BHO presidency: Bilingual Educators for Obama.
It looks like utopian bilingualism—the requirement that every American will speak Spanish—is part of the blurry "change" Obama is peddling. But the candidate is responding to a demographic transformation accumulating since 1965.
Most of the 30 million Mexicans who reside here did not come to become Americans and join our national community: they came for the money only, and harbor resentment against this country for imagined theft of territory.
The expanded numbers Lou Dobbs recommends will have cultural and political consequences. Toxic levels of diversity are tearing the cultural fabric of this nation apart. Yet Dobbs wants more of same. So why then does he think immigration is as an important issue at all?
If the tens of millions of unassimilated foreigners using America as their ATM come under a misguided scheme of lawful immigration on steroids, how is that an improvement?
Isn't the idea of immigration restriction to preserve a recognizable America now and for future generations?
Can Dobbs not see the problem here?
Say it ain’t so, Lou!
