One Reporter’s Opinion -- Illegals Pose Health Risks

...Little did Emma Lazarus know how foolishly that golden door has been flung open and how often. Millions of illegal aliens have crossed America’s borders and we have learned the tragic consequences.

Among those who have come are the diseased. Our late-great friend, Dr. Madeleine Cosman, with degrees in both law and medicine, warned of the illegals crossing into America unexamined. We pretty much know what they carry in their backpacks. However, we do not know what they carry in their bodies.

Community College In-State Tuition Decree for NC Illegal Aliens opposed by ALIPA, 11-28-07

The Raleigh based national organization ALIPAC, which was credited with helping to defeat in-state tuition for illegals in NC (2005), is taking aim at the administration of Governor Mike Easley (D-NC) for the recent decree that illegal aliens will now be allowed in all community colleges. The Easley administration is known nationally for giving hundreds of thousands of licenses to illegal aliens, an issue that NY Governor Spitzer was pummeled for even considering.

NC Community College Attorney, David Sullivan who issued the order, falsely claims that this move will not cost NC taxpayers because the illegal aliens will be charged out of state tuition. Unknown to most North Carolinians, provisions were secretly placed into law years ago that qualifies illegal aliens for in-state tuition for community colleges in NC.

SPP 'dead,' says insider, 11-28-07

'Bush, Harper, Calderon have punted to line bureaucrats'

An insider who presented a paper at a recent North American Forum meeting in Mexico is concluding that the Security and Prosperity Partnership plan has failed.

"The Security and Prosperity Partnership is dead," reporter John Ibbitson of Canada's Globe and Mail told WND in a telephone interview.

Ibbitson, who was invited to present a paper at the meeting because he is a strong proponent of increased international trade, especially between Canada and the United States, said he believes public exposure has stalled SPP efforts.

Americans Pay for Emerging World Government, 11-28-07

In its new Human Development Report calling for another $86 billion in aid to the rest of the world, supposedly to fight the effects of climate change, the United Nations acts distressed that people in “rich” countries like the U.S. don’t take the theory of man-made global warming more seriously. Its answer—and this is actually spelled out in the report—is that too much “editorial balance” in the media has prevented “informed debate” about the need for “urgent action” in the form of higher taxes on energy.

Feminist Abuse of Domestic Violence Laws, 11-28-07

The radical feminists have devised a scheme to cash in on a flow of taxpayers' money in a big way. Their good buddy Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE) has just introduced a bill called I-VAWA (International Violence Against Women Act, S. 2279).

Bilderberg author who 1st exposed plot in 1996 sees EU replication as imminent

WASHINGTON – The next giant step toward world government will be integration of the U.S., Canada and Mexico in European Union-style merger in the next few years, says the author of a best-selling book on the power of shadowy international organizations promoting the move.

"I would say [it's just] a couple of years away," reports Daniel Estulin, author of "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group."

Dolly creator Prof Ian Wilmut shuns cloning, 11/16/2007

The scientist who created Dolly the sheep, a breakthrough that provoked headlines around the world a decade ago, is to abandon the cloning technique he pioneered to create her.

Prof Ian Wilmut's decision to turn his back on "therapeutic cloning", just days after US researchers announced a breakthrough in the cloning of primates, will send shockwaves through the scientific establishment.

Christian leaders join effort to free border agents

A group of conservative leaders and evangelical Christian leaders have joined the movement to free El Paso Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, sending a letter to President Bush to appeal to his "Christian values."

"We sincerely feel that your inaction and lack of immediacy to personally address the inhumane treatment of these two agents runs counter to the tenets of a compassionate conservative and the Christian values that many of your supporters find a sustaining beacon of your presidency," the Nov. 19 letter read.

Bad New Plans to Rewrite the Constitution, 11-21-07

Let's face it. Some people, especially liberals, just don't like our United States Constitution. Every few years, they come up with wild or devious plans to make major changes.

The would-be rewriters of the Constitution do not merely propose amendments to remedy a problem, as allowed for in Article V. They seek structural change after hurling put-downs such as archaic, out-of-date, and dating from the horse-and-buggy era.

Pressure mounts to pardon Border agents, 11-18-07

Top conservatives have joined ranking House leaders in their bid to pressure the president to pardon two jailed El Paso Border Patrol agents for the nonfatal shooting of a Mexican drug smuggler in 2005.

In a letter to be delivered tomorrow to the White House, 31 major conservative petitioners joined a campaign being led by Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican and presidential candidate, to ask President Bush to pardon Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean before Thanksgiving.

Bush support for sea treaty affirmed, 11-16-07

'I understand there are concerns. We believe those have been addressed'

The president continues to support the pending Law of the Sea Treaty, but a spokeswoman isn't going to speculate on how it would have affected critical U.S. operations on the sea had it been adopted earlier.

The issue was resurrected recently in the U.S. Senate at President Bush's urging even though critics making up a wide-ranging chorus have concluded it would grant the United Nations control of 70 percent of the planet under its oceans, and undermine U.S. sovereignty.

Don't answer Census, don't face going to jail, 11-14-07

Government demands answers, but official confirms penalties not applied

Another month is coming, and another 250,000 forms are being mailed out in the U.S. Census Bureau's perpetual American Community Survey, which demands responses to personal questions about a family's lifestyle, housing accommodations, work schedules, physical and mental disabilities, income and the like.

That means roughly 250,000 times recipients will see the warning that participation is required by law, and there are penalties including fines for not answering each question. But, in fact, U.S. Census Bureau officials say they've never had anyone prosecuted for refusing to provide those intimate details to the government.

Pat Boone's 2007 TV Decency Survey

Defeat the Law of the Sea Treaty, 11-13-07

The Bush administration, together with several unlikely allies — including Sens. Joe Biden of Delaware and Dick Lugar of Indiana, and the majority of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — are attempting to impose a flawed international agreement on America. The U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty, known by its particularly apt acronym LOST, was wisely rejected 25 years ago by President Reagan and revived by the Clinton administration after several cosmetic changes. The "new" treaty was approved Oct. 31 by a 17-4 Senate Foreign Relations Committee vote. What was wrong with LOST 25 years ago is what's wrong with it now — it would undermine American sovereignty and risk national security by putting American efforts to counteract nuclear-weapons proliferation and international terrorism under the control of foreign judges.

Columnists Debate Candidness in US-Mexico Border Issues

Is it better for the public not to know about problems on the U.S.-Mexican border?

The problem of Mexican soldiers and pseudo-soldiers aiding drug smugglers crossing the border is well-documented. It has been admitted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and has been the subject of testimony to Congress.

Border chief in TB row to retire

The federal official in charge of the El Paso, Texas, border crossing — where a Mexican national with a highly contagious form of tuberculosis was allowed to enter the U.S. 76 times since August 2006 — has announced his retirement.

Luis Garcia, director of field operations in El Paso, said his retirement is not related to a Senate inquiry as to how Amado Isidro Armendariz Amaya traveled more than 20 times into the U.S. after his illness was discovered by health authorities on April 16.

No TB testing at U.S. border

Legal or not, immigrants not screened when entering country

Whether here legally or not, the Wayne Farms employees with active tuberculosis disease probably would not have had to submit to medical screening before entering the United States.

An immigration lawyer said the guest worker visa most legal poultry workers have does not require TB tests or other medical screening.

Drug-resistant TB could lead to global disaster

Crisis could occur if killer strains are not contained, WHO official says

CAPE TOWN - The world is at risk of a tuberculosis crisis if killer drug-resistant strains of the disease are not contained, a senior World Health Organization official warned on Thursday.

"Scenarios of apocalyptic nature are not, let's say, likely, but they might happen. They are not ... impossible," said Mario Raviglione, director of the World Health Organization's Stop TB department.

Christian right scatters support in GOP

"The theme of the endorsements of both Giuliani and McCain seem to be less about conservative beliefs and more about who can beat Hillary," said Jessica Echard, executive director of Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum. "For Republicans to use that criterion is to hand over the primary process to the Democratic Party, rather than to the grass roots."

Miracle in New Jersey: Voters Defeat Stem Cell Initiative 53-47%

Stunned, the New York Times reports that "recent polls had indicated that the initiative would pass easily" and that this "marked the first time in 17 years that voters in New Jersey had defeated any statewide ballot question" (11-7-07).
The ballot initiative would have forced taxpayers to spend $450 million on cloning and embryonic stem cell research.

Marie Tasy, the head of New Jersey Right to Life, told LifeNews.com the result is a major defeat for New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, who personally contributed $200,000 to the campaign to pass the initiative.

Let's Protect American Jobs

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" is an old verse that just isn't true. Indeed, words can hurt, break up marriages, destroy careers, and defeat political candidates.

Even words out of one's own mouth can be destructive. We recall such bloopers as presidential candidate George Romney self-destructing his 1968 presidential candidacy with the word "brainwashing," or Gerald Ford losing in 1976 after saying "there is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe," or Richard Nixon pleading "I am not a crook."

SINISTER SECRETS OF THE U.N. SEA TREATY

The former editor of the New York Times editorial page says it is “crazy” to be opposed to the U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty and she can’t understand why it has become a hot-button issue in the Republican presidential race. Gail Collins declared in a November 3 column in the Times that the measure simply clarifies “rules for navigation and mining in international waters” and sets up “a system for settling disputes.” Those opposed to it, she says, are spinning “conspiracy theories.” But Collins is doing the spinning.

A Sinkable Treaty

Why America doesn't need the Law of the Sea.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 17-4 Wednesday to approve the Law of the Sea Treaty, meaning it's now up to 34 Senate Republicans to send this giant octopus of a document back where it belongs. To wit, the bottom of the ocean.

The U.S. last disposed of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea--LOST to its critics--when Ronald Reagan was President. This May, however, the Bush Administration reversed course and declared that the Gipper's objections had been fixed by a 1994 amendment. We've since had a debate on these pages over that point, with former Secretaries of State George Shultz and James Baker in favor, while Ed Meese and William Clark, Reagan's Attorney General and National Security Adviser, remain opposed.

Chicken-plant workers test 'positive' for TB

212 out of 765 processing employees infected – company says HIV-privacy laws nix screening

Alabama health officials have identified 212 workers who have tested positive for tuberculosis at a single poultry plant owned by one of the largest processors in the U.S.

In two batteries of skin tests last month, given to 765 fresh processing employees at the Decatur, Ala., plant owned by Wayne Farms LLC by the State Department of Public Health's Tuberculosis Control Division, 28 percent were found to be infected, including one with active tuberculosis disease, which is contagious. Doctors have yet to evaluate X-rays for 165 current workers who tested positive to determine if any more are contagious.

'Does SPP + TTC + NAFTA = NAU ?'

In 1799, in a communication to Elbridge Gerry, Thomas Jefferson said the following: “I am for free commerce with all nations, political connection with none, and little or no diplomatic establishment.” This statement by Jefferson has a profound bearing on the title of this article.

Obviously, in order to understand the “equation”, you have to have knowledge of what each of the components stand for. As this develops, I believe you will see the serious significance involved and how it relates to the further reduction and diminishing of the sovereignty of the United States of America.
