Mexican president calls migration "inevitable,"

PUERTO PENASCO, Mexico — Mexican President Felipe Calderon told U.S. governors Thursday that immigration is an inevitable, natural phenomenon and he urged the U.S. Congress to approve reforms that would allow more Mexicans to work legally north of the border.

Calderon demanded that the United States respect "the right to work wherever one can make the greatest contribution." AP Texas News, Sept. 27, 2007

Sea Sickness In The Senate

International Law: Time was, Ronald Reagan's 600-ship Navy gave us freedom of the seas. But if Joe Biden and the Senate have their way, we'll need the permission of 21 judges in Hamburg.

On Thursday, presidential wannabe Biden will chair hearings intended to lead to the ratification of the quarter-century-old Law of the Sea treaty (LOST), a document that would severely restrict our ability to use oceans to defend ourselves and would turn over control of 70% of the world's surface to a U.N. bureaucracy. INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY, September 25, 2007

Law of the Sea Travesty

Ronald Reagan rejected the United Nations' Convention on the Law of the Sea 25 years ago, but the 202-page treaty generally known by its acronym LOST will not die. Reagan didn't like LOST -- which its conservative critics say would compromise U.S. sovereignty and cede control of the oil, gas and mineral riches of the deepest seabeds to UN bureaucrats -- because it was so obviously collectivist, redistributionist, bureaucratic and antithetical to American economic and military interests.

But the Bush administration, the Pentagon and many large mining companies are pushing for the United States to join the 155 countries that have ratified LOST. As Sen. Joe Biden prepares to hold Senate hearings on the Law of the Sea Treaty on Thursday, Sept. 27, we called one of its chief opponents, Cliff Kincaid, president of America's Survival Inc. (www.usasurvival.org.) to find out why Reagan was right and President Bush is wrong about LOST: FrontPageMag.com, September 26, 2007

Deaths Associated with HPV Vaccine Start Rolling In, Over 3500 Adverse Affects Reported

TORONTO, September 20, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As Canada, in large part due to aggressive behind the scenes lobbying, rolls out the not-comprehensively-tested Merck HPV vaccine for girls as young as nine, a look at developments on the vaccine south of the border should cause Canadians serious concern. In the United States a similar lobby campaign by the same company launched the mass HPV vaccination of girls beginning in June last year.

In just little over a year, the HPV vaccine has been associated with at least five deaths, not to mention thousands of reports of adverse effects, hundreds deemed serious, and many that required hospitalization. Lifesite.net, September 20, 2007

Dumped by Reagan, Sea Treaty Now Up for Passage

An international treaty that President Reagan vetoed in the early 1980s is being re-visited in the Senate this week where State Department and Defense Department officials are expected to push for its ratification.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) was designed to establish rules governing military and commercial use of the world's oceans. The rights and responsibilities of each nation are outlined in the treaty text. To date, over 150 countries have signed on to the Law of the Sea. CNSNews.com, September 26, 2007

Rubber Stamp?

Come Thursday, the future of the United States Senate will begin to take shape. On that day, the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee will begin the first of two days of hearings on the ratification of one of the most momentous international agreements in memory: the United Nation’s Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST).


If all goes according to the proponents’ plan, few Senators will have any idea what LOST entails before they are asked to vote for it. The working assumption is that many legislators will be inclined to do in this case what the Senate has done too often in the past with respect to arms control and many other, complex multinational accords: fail to read the text; forego serious deliberation, let alone debate, about it; and rubber-stamp its approval in a matter of days, if not hours.

Crowd cheers as Tancredo blasts illegal -- and legal -- immigration in U.S.

Frontenac — Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., asserted Friday that his anti-immigration message, which brought a crowd here to its feet, is also dragging down his Republican bid for the White House.

Why? "Money," or rather, lack of it, replied Tancredo, as he mingled with the audience of activists with Eagle Forum, a social conservative group holding a national meeting this weekend at the Frontenac Hilton. STLtoday.com, 9-21-07

Pat Boone to appear at Eagle Forum

FRONTENAC — Singer Pat Boone and two Republican presidential hopefuls will headline a three-day meeting here of leaders of the Eagle Forum, a national conservative group.

About 300 forum members are expected to attend the Eagle Council, which will begin today at the Frontenac Hilton hotel and run through Sunday. Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly of Ladue is among several dozen speakers. STLtoday.com, 9-21-07

Mexican curriculum in Oregon schools stirs debate

Some Oregon high schools are adopting Mexico's public school curriculum to help educate Spanish-speaking students with textbooks, an online Web site, DVDs and CDs provided free by Mexico to teach math, science and even U.S. history.

Phyllis Schlafly joins lineup of columnists

Legendary culture warrior fresh off Values Voter Debate panel

Phyllis Schlafly, longtime culture warrior and commentator, joins WorldNetDaily's cadre of weekly columnists today.

Schlafly recently brought her take-no-prisoners style and effectiveness to the Values Voter Presidential Debate panel of questioners, asking the candidates about the Security and Prosperity Partnership and amnesty for illegal aliens.

"Phyllis Schlafly is a personal heroine of mine – as well as a personal friend," commented WND Editor Joseph Farah. "For my money, she should have been Ronald Reagan's vice president and successor in 1988. If she had been, this country would be a lot better off today." WorldNetDaily.com, September 21, 2007

Port sparks NAFTA super-railway challenge

Another national line plans 'Asian gateway' to North America

With the focused development of the port in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, as an official "Asian Gateway," Canadian National is positioned to compete with Canadian Pacific as the first truly continental NAFTA super-railroad, reaching from Canada to Mexico through the heart of the U.S. On Sept. 12, Canadian National used the opening of its new container terminal at Prince Rupert to declare the railroad the "Midwest Express," a reference to its ambition to move containers of good manufactured in China into the heartland of North America through distribution hubs in Chicago and Memphis. WorldNetDaily.com, September 19, 2007

Deal creates path for NAFTA railway

Connects Canada to Mexico through heart of the U.S.

An important acquisition announced this month by Canadian Pacific positions the railroad to be North America's first continental NAFTA super-railway, connecting Canada with Mexico through the heart of the U.S., roughly parallel to Interstate 35.

On Sept. 4, when Canadian Pacific, or CP, announced an agreement to acquire the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad, or DM&E, railroad analysts saw the move as a strategic attempt by CP to move into Wyoming's coal rich Power River Basin. In that area, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe, BNSF, and Union Pacific, UP, previously enjoyed exclusive access. WorldNetDaily.com, September 18, 2007

'Unseen world' dominates GOP presidential debate

God invoked constantly, 'invisible' candidates who failed to show still get tough questions

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – With "invisible" candidates who failed to show up getting grilled with questions, hundreds of empty seats, not a single mainstream television network on hand, and the name of God invoked countless times, the "unseen world" clearly dominated last night's Republican presidential debate in South Florida.

High-profile contenders Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson all chose not to participate, though each had an empty podium with his name displayed on stage to emphasize his absence. WorldNetDaily.com, September 18, 2007

Two Dubai-Ports/Harriet Miers Moments Coming

It looks like we will soon have two more Dubai-Ports/Harriet Miers moments. President Bush has climbed out on the edge of a limb and it is about to get sawed off because he is clearly flouting the wishes of the American people.

While Bush was using the platform of his departure from Sydney, Australia, to blast "protectionism" and pledge his commitment to "free trade," his Department of Transportation was proving that he values unfair trade with foreign countries above protection of American safety and jobs.

A Sleeper Amnesty: Time to Wake Up from the DREAM Act

Just three months after the Senate immigration bill met its well-deserved end, amnesty advocates in the U.S. Congress resumed their efforts. Recently, Senator Richard Durbin (D–IL) announced on the Senate floor his intention to offer the Development, Relief, and Edu­cation for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act as an amend­ment to the defense authorization bill.

The DREAM Act (S. 774) is a nightmare. It is a mas­sive amnesty that extends to the millions of illegal aliens who entered the United States before the age of 16. The illegal alien who applies for this amnesty is immediately rewarded with "conditional" lawful per­manent resident (green card) status, which can be converted to a non-conditional green card in short order. The alien can then use his newly acquired status to seek green cards for the parents who brought him in illegally in the first place. In this way, it is also a back­door amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens who brought their children with them to the United States.

Will Senator McConnell Take on the U.N.'s Seasick Lawyers?

America celebrates Constitution Day on Monday, September 17, as we find members of the Bush Administration and liberals in the Senate working feverishly to get the U.S. involved in another international treaty, the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This pact, which would further erode the sovereignty and independence of our nation, authorizes foreign bodies and judges to decide our fate on the oceans, determining who gets access to vast deposits of oil and gas and precious minerals. A Senate vote on this pact is coming up soon, perhaps by the end of this month. Aim.org, September 14, 2007

Amnesty for illegals back for another try

Amendments to defense funding bill subject of debate in Senate this week

President Bush's comprehensive immigration reform, defeated in June, will make a second appearance this week when the Senate takes up various pro-amnesty amendments submitted to the Department of Defense funding bill, H.R. 1585, which is scheduled for debate.

While not "comprehensive" reform, the latest initiative attempts to pass key provisions of the earlier immigration measure piece by piece by attaching amendments to unrelated bills, a process critics characterize as "stealth."

Trucking another job we don't want?

Mexican trucks with Mexican truck drivers are now permitted to enter the U.S. and drive to any destination. These trucks are loaded at Mexican ports.

Mexican drivers are paid half or less than American drivers. Soon all deliveries in America will be cheaper by using Mexican drivers. American drivers will lose their jobs, homes and cars, not pay property taxes and then the government will say, "See? These are jobs Americans don't want." DailyHerald.com, 9-13-07

The Bush administration announced Monday it is granting $66.2 million to reduce congestion and improve freight flow on several so-called NAFTA highways.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is allocating the money so it can work with state and local governments and the private sector on six interstate highways, with projects including the addition of bypasses and trucks-only lanes. Five of those highways connect to or run near the Mexican or Canadian borders: BizJournals.com, September 10, 2007

Official Mexican government reports reveal Mexico has entered discussions with the state of Texas and top officials in the Bush administration to extend the Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico, with a plan to connect through Monterrey to the deep-water Mexican ports on the Pacific, including Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas.

Dobbs: Mexican president's blatant hypocrisy

Mexican President Felipe Calderon Sunday demanded the United States surrender its sovereignty, abandon the rule of law and accede to Mexico's inherent supremacy.


In his state of the union address to the Mexican nation, Calderon established his imperialistic imperatives: "I have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico. And, for this reason, the government action on behalf of our countrymen is guided by principles, for the defense and protection of their rights." CNN.com

The three-nation summit at Montebello, Quebec, was held behind closed doors, well guarded behind an intimidating fence and plenty of police, but the news conference that followed on August 21 revealed more than the three heads of state had planned. President George W.
