		<description><![CDATA[With the immigration debate heating up — and a federal court case over Arizona's SB 1070 brewing — you'd think that the U.S. was besieged by growing numbers of illegal immigrants. But you'd be wrong.  Despite the heightened rhetoric and the bloodcurdling vitriol surrounding the issue, illegal immigration has actually declined significantly over the last few years. While journalists like to characterize the anger over immigration as a response to facts on the ground — i.e. people are inundated and incensed — the numbers don't bear them out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul Moncada, the silver-haired police chief of this highway town, spent a recent morning anxiously checking the TV for news about Arizona's controversial new immigration law, set to take effect in a matter of days.  He sifted through stacks of state training materials, which still left him with lots of questions. And he worried about the frustrated people in town who might sue him for not enforcing the new law well enough, the frustrated people in town who might accuse him of racial profiling and the thousands who cross the blazing desert around here and whose lives he is also duty-bound to protect.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As mid-term elections near, political parties are drawing battle lines and building strategies to come out successful in November. For both parties much of their success will be rooted on how well they appeal Latinos — especially in California, Colorado, Texas and Florida where 2/3 of all Hispanic registered voters reside.  Always considered the litmus test and among the top three most important issues, immigration now stands as the number one most vital among Hispanics.  A survey by National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund showed 27 percent of 1600 Hispanics surveyed — 400 for each of the states mentioned — ranked immigration above unemployment, cost of living, healthcare and education.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the late 1990?s, when racial profiling, especially framed in terms like “driving while black”, was in the headlines, Congressmen like John Conyers spoke out about the possibility of legislation aimed at stopping racial profiling. Now, ten or so years later, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers Jr. and Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Chairman Jerrold Nadler introduced H.R. 5748, End Racial Profiling Act of 2010 (ERPA).  This bill is being introduced in the context of the rising use of police tactics like stop and frisk in NYC and of course laws like Arizona’s SB1070 which make it suspicious to be alive while brown.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“We should organize a protest.”  I’m not much for demonstrations, but these were words to lift the soul.  It was the instinctive reaction of a national NAACP official who had just learned Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona will appear today in Overland Park.  Arpaio is the rogue sheriff of Maricopa County being investigated for his retaliatory tactics against elected officials in Phoenix and his zest for volunteer “posses” to scour Latino neighborhoods for illegal immigrants.  Arpaio is drumming up funds for Kris Kobach’s GOP run for Kansas secretary of state. Ante up $250 and get a photo with Arpaio and “deputy” status.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox plans to file a legal brief supporting Arizona's immigration law and sent a letter Monday asking other state attorneys general to join him.  Cox, one of five Republicans running for Michigan governor, said in the letter that the U.S. Justice Department's legal challenge to the Arizona law "seeks to remove the power of the states" to enforce their own immigration statutes along with federal immigration laws.  He also argues that under the federal government's approach, "there is no cooperative effort on immigration but only a one-way street where states lose control over their borders and are left to guess at the reality of the law."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The latest Republican partisan line on immigration reform is that, not only will nothing happen this year, that failure will be solely the fault of President Barack Obama.  GOP observers want us to believe that the growing Latino population will wind up placing the blame on Obama for trying to politicize the issue – and doing a bad job of it.  ANYBODY WITH SENSE realizes this is a stretch. Not so much that Obama hasn’t bungled the situation with his staff’s inactivity earlier on, but the idea that we’re going to somehow think the Republican partisans would be better off for us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Obama administration has replaced immigration raids at factories and farms with a quieter enforcement strategy: sending federal agents to scour companies’ records for illegal immigrant workers.  While the sweeps of the past commonly led to the deportation of such workers, the “silent raids,” as employers call the audits, usually result in the workers being fired, but in many cases they are not deported.  Over the past year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has conducted audits of employee files at more than 2,900 companies. The agency has levied a record $3 million in civil fines so far this year on businesses that hired unauthorized immigrants, according to official figures. Thousands of those workers have been fired, immigrant groups estimate.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama tried to put the contentious issue of immigration reform back on the table with a speech last week, but there were reasons to wonder how much political capital he is willing to spend to overhaul the broken system.  Clue No. 1 that Obama may be less than fully committed was the way he cast the resistance to immigration reform in starkly partisan terms, calling out certain Republicans for retreating from the issue for political expediency. If and when Obama gets serious about reform, he will need to work with those Republicans who are open to finding a solution to a patchwork system that is counterproductive and contradictory for a nation that both depends on and condemns illegal immigration. And while the president insisted that a "majority of Democrats are ready to move" for reform, the timidity on the issue does not fall neatly along party lines.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Arizona's law giving local police immigration enforcement powers is likely to be struck down, most legal experts predict, now that the Obama administration has gone to court asserting it conflicts with federal law.  They cite the longstanding principle the federal government has exclusive control over immigration and "no state can add or take away" from the policy set in Washington.  However, they caution that one large uncertainty is the current Supreme Court has not ruled directly on such a state-federal clash over immigration.  Traditionally, the federal government's view carries extra weight in disputes over immigration.]]></description>
