A Case Study: Violating and Enforcing the Immigration Law
By David North

Excerpt: Sometimes it is useful to take a look at case histories of the violations of, and the enforcement of, the immigration law.

It is well known that it often takes the government a long time to wrap up a criminal case involving a violation of the immigration law.

Sometimes the process of breaking the law takes a long time, too. Here is an example of both processes . . .

Some Examples of Clumsy Censorship Within USCIS
By David North
CIS Blog, November 18, 2010
http://www.cis.org/north/clumsy-censorship

Excerpt: When it comes to transparency in government activities there are two extremes:

On the one hand, there is the total freedom of information sought by many advocates of democracy, the 'open covenants, openly arrived at' concept of Woodrow Wilson.

On the other there is the highly efficient censorship of a dictatorship, such as that of North Korea.

Attrition Works, Yet Again

http://www.cis.org/krikorian/prince-william-county-report

Excerpt:
From the Washington Post:

'Prince William County's controversial immigration policy appears to have had some effect, as the growth of the county’s Hispanic population now lags behind that of other jurisdictions, a report from the University of Virginia states.

The three-year, $385,000 study – released Tuesday by the university's Center for Survey Research – also found that the county's noncitizen Hispanic population, legal and illegal, dropped by 7,700 from 2006 to 2008, and that illegal immigrants accounted for 2,000 to 6,000 of that decline.'

Illegal Immigration Is a Crime That Breeds More Crime: A Typology
By David North
CIS Blog, November 16, 2010
http://www.cis.org/north/crime-that-breeds-more-crime

Excerpt: Illegal immigration is, among other things, a crime that breeds further crime.

This is a grim fact that the open-borders advocates rarely discuss.

Crimes of passion and bank robberies, on the other hand are usually, to use the English phrase, 'one-off' actions. Deplorable as they are, they are self-contained events and do not usually lead to other, on-going criminal activities.

California Supreme Court Backs Illegal-Alien Tuition Break
By Jon Feere
CIS Blog, November 15, 2010
http://www.cis.org/feere/california-instate-tuition-ruling

Excerpt: The California Supreme Court has reversed a lower court holding and sided with California Regents and illegal aliens on the issue of in-state tuition breaks. Under the latest ruling, California colleges (California State University, the University of California, and California Community Colleges) have been given the green light to offer tuition breaks to illegal aliens and deny the same benefit to U.S. citizens from other states. The case is available at the California courts website.
