Marita Prandoni Dispelling Misinformation on Immigration Issues

People's reasons for migrating north from Mexico and Central America are more complex than media will let on. Scott Simon's recent guest on NPRs Weekend Edition Saturday, T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol and border agent in Campos, CA, refers to all immigrants who do not have the right to work in the US as "criminals and dangerous individuals." This broad stroke only serves… Continue

Hugo J. Lembert Is this the right time for the E-Verify system?

E-Verify is an Internet based system operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA). It allows employers to electronically verify immigration status of newly hired employees.

Raul Ramos y Sanchez Supreme Court decision paves the way for immigration reform

Is it identity theft when an undocumented worker uses a fake Social Security number to get a job? On May 4, 2009 the United States Supreme Court unanimously said, “No.” Identity theft, which carries a two-year mandatory prison term, is the crime of using stolen credit cards and other personal information to purchase goods and drain bank accounts. That’s very different than an undocumented immigrant using a bogus Social Security number to obtain honest work. The high court’s recent ruling justly… Continue

Raul Ramos y Sanchez Our new president must tackle immigration reform

During the campaign, president-elect Obama promised to initiate legislation for comprehensive immigration reform in the first 100 days of his administration. Like most presidents, Mr. Obama will come into office with considerable political capital during the proverbial "honeymoon" period with congress and the media. However, the economy has already become Mr. Obama's primary public focus. No sensible person would argue our faltering economy is not a vital issue. But if those of us committed to… Continue

Raul Ramos y Sanchez Bishop declares U.S. immigration laws unjust

The new Bishop of Little Rock, Anthony B. Taylor, has taken a daring stance on the immigration issue. In his first pastoral letter released on November 5, Bishop Taylor declares that all humans have “the right to immigrate when circumstances so require.” In the Bishop’s 64-page letter, Taylor explains that immigration is an economic necessity. It provides labor in nations where it’s needed, like the United States, and alleviates suffering in poorer countries. He quotes the U.S. Declaration of In… Continue
