Where are the promised border troops? By E. J. Montini, Columnist - Jun. 20, 2010 08:25 PM The Arizona Republic . So where are the troops? Last month, President Barack Obama promised to deploy 1,200 National Guard troops to the Southwest border. Sen.

At least that is what we are being told, again and again, in a McCain campaign commercial. So when do the soldiers get here? Back when the president made his announcement, Gov. Jan Brewer said, "My signing of Senate Bill 1070 has clearly ignited the talk of action in Washington for the people of Arizona ...

Fired-up Republican activists in no mood for compromises threw out their party chairwoman Saturday, then bucked Texas Gov. Rick Perry by pushing for a crackdown on illegal immigration similar to Arizona's new law. Some delegates at the Republican state convention also called for a nonbinding resolution calling on House Republicans to oust their own speaker, Rep. Joe Straus of San Antonio, considered too moderate for many of the bedrock conservatives meeting in Dallas this weekend. Convention organizers ruled the Straus resolution out of order. While the convention began Friday with scripted unity and Democrat-bashing speeches, its final hours were marked by division and heated debates ...

California Now the Least-Educated State Report Examines How Immigration Has Changed the Golden State WASHINGTON, June 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In 1970, nine percent of California's population was comprised of immigrants; by 2008 it was 27 percent. A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that as a result of immigration, California now has the least-educated labor force of any state. Historically, California was not a state with a disproportionately large unskilled population, like Appalachia or parts of the South. However, immigration has transformed the state. Absent a change in immigration policy, other parts of the country may be transformed in a ...

The ordinance does not regulate the content of a day laborer's speech, only the location, Judge Sandra Ikuta said in the majority opinion. She said workers can reach out to prospective employers "in safer ...

But if you don't secure the border then you just have continuous flow," McCain told FOX 10. But in 2006, McCain took a much different approach. That's when he ...
