My Word: Immigration sinkhole

Imagine Florida's undocumented immigrants leaving the state. Fields and groves would fill with rotting produce and fruit for lack of workers to harvest them. Resorts would empty of angry vacationers as house staff would be stretched too thin to give premium service. Construction projects would get delayed because the day laborers pool would dry up. College classes would be dropped because student enrollments would fall off.

NPR: Arizona 'Dropped a Bomb' in Illegal Immigration Debate with SB 1070 By: Matthew Balan

On Thursday's All Things Considered, NPR's Robert Siegel used violent imagery to underline the supposed extreme nature of Arizona's SB 1070 law targeting illegal immigration: "It has been of one year since the state legislature dropped a bomb into the national debate over immigration."

Eighteen immigrants take oath to become U.S. citizens

Daniel McCarty came to the U.S. from Canada 13 years ago as a self-described college student with "absolutely nothing." Today, he describes the life he's built here quite differently, one that now includes a home, a family and his own business.
McCarty said he owes it all to the opportunities he's found in America, which is why on Monday he expressed much gratitude after becoming a U.S. citizen during a naturalization ceremony at the Rush H. Limbaugh Sr. U.S. Courthouse in Cape Girardeau.
"It's such a privilege for me to be a part of this," said McCarty, who lives in Poplar Bluff, Mo. "The opportunities available here are incredible. I just wanted to be a part of such a great country."

OK's Anti-Immigration Proposal On The Move

An Oklahoma anti-immigration proposal is one step closer to moving to the governor’s desk but there’s still a lot of debate.

To make deadline, the Senate killed a few amendments and need to come up with a title for HB1446.

It’s written like the Arizona law that gives police more power to arrest illegal immigrants and seize property used to commit immigration-related crimes.

However, only law enforcement that are authorized by the federal government to verify citizenship, such as 287-G. The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office is the only law enforcement agency who is federally certified to check citizenship status.

Illegal Immigrant Fatally Shot, Another Wounded in Arizona By Joshua Rhett Miller

An illegal immigrant -- one of 15 who had just crossed the border into the U.S. from Mexico -- was seriously wounded in an attack by a gang of suspected drug traffickers at a rest stop in Arizona's Pinal County early Thursday, police told FoxNews.com.

The same group may be responsible for the shooting death of another unidentified man believed to be an illegal immigrant who was later found fatally shot in the same area, a rest stop near mile post 150 and Interstate 8 near Antelope Peak, about 25 miles west of Casa Grande, Pinal County Sheriff's spokesman Tim Gaffney said.

"[The victim] said he was with 14 others from Mexico when they stopped at a rest area near Antelope Peak," Gaffney told FoxNews.com. "While resting, an unknown group of individuals walked up on them and opened fire."

WH excludes border governors from immigration meeting

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was there. So was Al Sharpton and AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka. Not on the invitation list? Any active governor from any border state. Which is odd since the meeting held yesterday at the White House was titled: President’s Meeting with Stakeholders on Fixing the Broken Immigration System.
