Illegals Today

"On a single day in April, in a special cell block deep inside the Pinal County Jail, nearly 400 inmates sat awaiting trial or extradition after being detained trying to cross the Arizona border from Mexico.

Only about half of them were actually from Mexico."

I wonder why Ms. Solis doesn't do public service announcements in Arabic or Farsi? After all, maybe those guys are being paid under the table and not getting a fair wage. Does she only care about Mexican illegals?

Gwinnett County Sheriff records show a Chateau Elan supervisor was arrested for driving without a license in March and turned over to immigration authorities because he wasn't in the United States legally. Sheriff office documents show nearly a dozen others who claimed to work at Chateau Elan were not United States citizens when they were arrested from 2000 to 2010.

"I liked working at Chateau Elan," said Barbara Schindler. The 14-year employee was terminated in January 2009. She believes she was replaced with cheaper illegal labor.

"It's wrong. It's hard to find work," said Schindler.

Chateau Elan management would not agree to an on-camera interview.

The Palestinian Arabs who live and have citizenship in Israel have a wonderful life compared to those who have the misfortune to live in an Arab country.

An estimated 4.6 million Palestinians live in Arab countries; how's that working out?

Some 250,000 Palestinians were chased out of Kuwait and other Gulf States to punish the Palestinian political leadership for supporting Saddam Hussein.

Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents of Iraq were similarly dispossessed after the second Gulf war.

In 2001, Palestinians in Lebanon were stripped of the right to own property, or to pass on the property that they already owned to their children – and banned from working as doctors, lawyers, pharmacists or in 20 other professions. Their living standard has been deemed "catastrophic" by both UNRWA and by the Lebanese government which created it.

The systematic refusal of Arab governments to grant basic human rights to Palestinians who are born and die in their countries – combined with periodic mass expulsions of entire Palestinian communities – recalls the treatment of Jews in medieval Europe.

In Jordan they face the threat of losing their citizenship as tensions build with Jordanians.

Millions of Palestinians live in refugee camps; they can't own land or participate in normal economic life. The only governing authority that Palestinians living in the camps have ever known is UNRWA – the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. They have no ties to a "homeland" and are a recruiting ground for al-Qaeda.

Palestinian refugees and their descendants inside Syria are not allowed to vote or hold Syrian passports, but they are free from the overt discrimination that has turned Lebanon into a recruiting ground for al-Qa'ida.

The story led with a lesser known poll with lower approval of Arizona's new law (Quinnipac). But here's Rasmussen:

Rasmussen Reports has found similar results in state polls it has done where it began asking voters whether they wanted an Arizona-like law. So far, those results include Georgia (55 percent in favor), Kentucky (63 percent), New Mexico (55 percent), Oregon (53 percent), South Dakota (62 percent), Washington state (52 percent) and Wisconsin
