What is a Mexican?
Some people believe the desire to expel Mexicans is a racial issue. These are people who are misled as there is no such thing as a Mexican race any more than there is an American race. The nationa of Mexico has many races of people just like America does.
Just to make things clear, we have included the definition of Mexican as published on azteca.net
Mexican
Specifically, the nationality of the inhabitants of Mexico. Therefore, the term is used appropriately for Mexican citizens who visit or work in the United States, but it is insufficient to designate those people who are citizens of the United States (they were born in the US or are naturalized citizens of the US) who are of Mexican ancestry. The various terms used to properly designate such people are described below, however, it is important to explain why these people feel it is important to make such a distinction. US citizens who are troubled by this often point out that most immigrants do not distinguish themselves by point of origin first, (i.e., German-American), but simply as "Americans" (another troublesome term, but we won't get detoured by that here). Here are some reasons why many US citizens of Mexican extraction feel that it is important to make the distinction:
While the term Hispanic or Latino would refer to ones race, Mexican refers to ones nationality. I know, I would think that an elected representative would know the difference and not make himself look so ignorant in the public's eye. Unfortunately, intelligence is not a requirement to win an election. It only takes a good campaign manager to tell the candidate what to say and when to say it.
We address the open borders policy that many of you support. Please read Open Borders: In due time.
The fact is, while there are criminal immigrants from other countries invading the US, the vast majority come from Mexico. We are literally being invaded by Mexicans. It is past time we put a stop to it. So if you are a Mexican and you are here illegally, GO HOME!
We do not consider those who came from Mexico legally to live in the US to be Mexican, because as we stated previously, Mexican is ones nationality. Those who are here legally are Americans. Now do you get it?

I received the following email newsletter from Senator David Vitter's office today.
Dear Friend,
This week I introduced an amendment to the Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights Act that would require the identification of any individual who is a non-citizen or U.S. National wanting to receive a credit card to be verified by the financial institution before receiving an account.
In many cases financial institutions accept minimal documentation that can be easily falsified. This current loophole ...

They are leaving. Illegal immigrants, that is.
Analysts from both ends of the immigration debate, from the Center for Immigration Studies to the Pew Hispanic Center, agree. The "unlawfully present" population in the United States has shrunk — and it's getting smaller.
According to Pew, there has been a drop in the annual flow of people ille ...

PHOENIX (AP) — Janet Napolitano didn't begin her tenure as Arizona's governor focused on immigration, but she gradually built a record of trying to confront the state's vast border woes.
As President-elect Barack Obama's nominee to become homeland security chief, Napolitano has won praise from immigrant advocates for her real-world border experience and firm grasp on the complexities of immigration, while hard-liners question the sincerity of her efforts and qualifications to run a huge bureaucracy.

From Fox News
DALLAS — Illegal immigrants are returning home to Mexico in numbers not seen for decades — and the Mexican government may have to deal with a crush on its social services and lower wages once the immigrants arrive.
The Mexican Consulate's office in Dallas is seeing increasing numbers of Mexican nationals requesting paperwork to go home for good, especially parents who want to know what documentation they'll need to enroll the ...

Criminal prosecutions of immigrants by federal authorities surged to a record high in March, as immigration cases accounted for the majority — 57 percent — of all new federal criminal cases brought nationwide that month, according to a report published Tuesday by a nonpartisan research group.

Immigration cases also made up more than half of new federal prosecutions in February, reflecting a major emphasis on immigration by the Bush administration and a policy shift to expand the use of criminal, rather than civil, charges in its efforts to curb illegal immigration.
In March, according to the report, narcotics cases, the next largest category, were 13 percent of new prosecutions by the Justice Department. The third-largest category, weapons cases, were 5 percent.
The report, by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a data analysis organization affiliated with Syracuse University, was based on figures from the Justice Department’s Executive Office for United States Attorneys. The group obtained the figures through the Freedom of Information Act.
The record number of 9,350 new immigration prosecutions in March was part of a “highly unusual surge” that began in January, the report said, and represented 73 percent more new immigration cases compared with March 2007. Most cases were in districts along the border with Mexico and were part of a rapidly expanding program by the Border Patrol and the Justice Department to press criminal charges against virtually all immigrants caught crossing the border illegally in some sectors.
“We’ve never seen such a surge at the national level,” said David Burnham, a co-director of the Syracuse group. “They are deciding that the use of criminal law is the way to solve the border patrol problem.”
In a crackdown that has accelerated since last June, when immigration legislation supported by President Bush failed in Congress, the administration has sought to show it is serious about enforcing immigration laws. In a new strategy, the authorities have brought an array of criminal charges against illegal immigrants stopped at the border or rounded up in raids at factories and other workplaces. Previously, illegal immigrants were generally charged under immigration law with civil violations, not criminal ones.
Justice Department officials would not confirm the Syracuse group’s conclusions, repeating criticism they have made in the past of the group’s reports. A department spokeswoman, Carolyn M. Nelson, said in a statement that the clearinghouse “has a pattern of omitting certain statistics, resulting in misleading information regarding prosecutions.”
“Nonetheless,” Ms. Nelson said, “it is certainly true that the department has prioritized immigration-related crimes over the last few years and that we have successfully prosecuted an increasing number of these cases.”
In another striking finding, the report said that 99 percent of people referred to federal prosecutors for immigration offenses in March were charged. “Any immigration case that comes through the door is going to be prosecuted,” Mr. Burnham said. “That’s astonishing.”
But sentences for those convicted were short, with the median being one month.
Under the border program, called Operation Streamline, prosecutors have brought criminal misdemeanor charges against immigrants caught entering the country illegally for the first time. Immigrants who were caught re-entering after they had been deported have faced tough felony charges and longer sentences.
