CHERTOFF LAMENTS FAILURE OF IMMIGRATION REFORM
August 8, 2007 by Bradley Maged.
In an article that appears in the Boston Herald, the Associated Press reports that: “Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told a national gathering of state lawmakers Wednesday that he would ratchet up enforcement of immigration laws, including at the workplace, in lieu of comprehensive immigration reform.”
Isn’t it an amazing twist of fate that millions of undocumented aliens who, had Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) passed Congress and been signed into law, would have been given the opportunity to legalize, will now continue to live in the shadows in even greater fear as the government “ratchets up enforcement of immigration laws.”
Hopefully, once we see that enforcement on its own will not work to solve the country’s immigration crisis (and it won’t), CIR will be revisited.

THE ROOT CAUSES OF IMMIGRATION
August 8, 2007 by Bradley Maged.
I recently came across an interesting blog, Immigration Orange, that concentrates on publicizing the root causes of immigration and suggests appropriate courses of action to help alleviate some of the problems in countries that cause people to emigrate. The author is very passionate about the subject and his blog is worth checking out. I link to the site to the left.

DISABLED US CITIZEN FOUND AFTER BEING WRONGLY DEPORTED
August 8, 2007 by Bradley Maged.
According to an article in today’s Los Angeles Times: “A U.S. citizen who had been in the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department before he disappeared in May after being wrongly deported to Mexico was found this week and ordered released to his family.”
This is an example of one of many errors that occur when the country is in a rush to deport and punish. Along the same lines, following the ICE raids that occurred in New Bedford, Massachusetts, there were reports of several parents of young children being flown to Texas to be detained without leaving caregivers for the children. On March 15, 2007, the Boston Globe ran an article with a timeline of the events proceeding the New Bedford raid.
The funny thing about these stories is that, had Comprehensive Immigration Reform been signed into law, as it eventually will be (hopefully in my lifetime!), many of those who were deported would have been in lawful status while waiting for their permanent resident applications to be processed. This would have allowed law enforcement to concentrate on capturing and deporting violent criminals rather than mentally disabled US Citizens or primary caregivers of young children who were working without authorization.
