Leviticus 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? Do you have a answer to my question.

His mother had suffered a stroke, and his family needed money. So even though he had been deported once from the United States last year, Edgar Rodriguez-Sarmiento left his home in a rural Honduran village, paid a smuggler $2,000 to get him across the border and sought work while living in an Austin apartment off East Riverside Drive in January, according to court documents and his lawyer.
Six weeks later, Rodriguez was arrested on public intoxication charges and brought to the Travis County Jail. He was tagged by immigration agents and became enmeshed in a federal effort to charge even those with minor or no criminal history with the crime of re-entering the U.S. after deportation, a felony.
The effort, part of a nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration, has led to a surge in the number of undocumented immigrants in Austin who are being hit with a felony conviction, and sometimes sent to prison, before being deported.
The practice has been criticized by immigrant advocates and defense lawyers, who call it a waste of resources.
In recent years, about three to five people a month were charged in U.S. District Court in Austin with returning to the United States after deportation. In March, when Rodriguez was indicted, 17 people were charged with the crime in federal court in Austin, according to an American-Statesman review of cases.
In April, federal prosecutors in Austin charged 21 people with illegally re-entering the United States after deportation, and this month they have charged 25, according to the review. A total of eight people were charged in January and February.
Illegal re-entry is punishable by as much as to two years in prison. If the defendant has a previous aggravated felony, the maximum punishment goes up to 20 years in prison.
U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton is leading the federal effortin the western district of Texas, which covers a wide swath of the border, including the cities of El Paso and Del Rio.

The issue of illegal immigration remains a sore spot with many taxpayers. A recent report by the Manhattan Institute found that the cost to the federal government by sanctioning open door immigration policies amounted to a startling $346 billion for fiscal year 2007.
Also noted in the report is that each illegal immigrant costs taxpayers more than $9,000, while every household of four costs $36,000 in taxes. Crime, health care, and public assistance lead the list, but high on the list is the cost of educating the children of illegal immigrant parents.
Here in northern Illinois, thousands of illegal immigrant children are flooding into school systems. In many districts the education of these children is breaking the piggy bank and sending budgets into the red.

ARRESTS: Many illegal migrants, held or deported,had criminal backgrounds
More than 300 illegal immigrants in the Los Angeles area were arrested or deported during three weeks of raids that ended this week, immigration officials announced Friday.
The arrests were part of raids that were conducted across California, netting 905 illegal immigrants, officials said.
The majority of the 327 people who were arrested locally were immigrants who had ignored final orders of deportation or who re-entered the United States after being deported, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Tammy Wilson said.
About a quarter of the immigrants arrested in the region had criminal histories besides being in the country illegally, Wilson said.
The latest round of raids and arrests ended Thursday, Wilson said.
One arrestee was Mariano Ceja-Ochoa, 31, a convicted sex offender who was taken into custody May 9 in Dana Point. Ceja-Ochoa's criminal history includes one conviction in the mid-1990s for committing a lewd or lascivious act with a child under 14, Wilson said. He is charged with re-entering the United States after deportation - a felony that carries a possible penalty of up to 20 years' imprisonment.
Another target was a 47-year-old British national in Lancaster whose criminal history includes convictions for burglary, robbery and forgery, Wilson said. In 2006, she failed to appear for a court date before an immigration judge and was ordered deported in absentia.
More than half of those arrested during the recent ICE operation were immediately removed from the United States because they had already been ordered deported, Wilson said. The remaining suspects are in custody and awaiting court dates before an immigration judge or are waiting for ICE to arrange their deportation, Wilson said.
"ICE is committed to protecting the integrity to this country's immigration system and that means ensuring that the removal orders handed down by the nation's immigration courts are carried out," said Brian DeMore, acting field officer director for ICE detention and removal operations in Los Angeles.
The nation's fugitive alien population has decreased for the first time ever, ICE said. Estimates place the total number of fugitive immigrants at just under 573,000 - a decrease of more than 59,000 since October 2006, ICE said.
But the recent immigration raids have not come without criticism. Civil liberties groups and immigrants' rights activists have said that more needs to be done to enact comprehensive immigration legislation, including giving amnesty to some undocumented workers already in the United States.
Last year, an immigration bill supported by President Bush stalled in the U.S. Senate. The likelihood of Congress passing a new immigration bill this year is slim, thanks to election year politics and the emotions swirling around the immigration issue.

Postville, Iowa (AHN) - At least 300 people were arrested, mostly over illegal identity theft and illegal immigration, by federal immigration agents in northeastern Iowa at the world's biggest meat processing plant.
According to local newspaper, Gannet, federal immigration authorities received numerous information about alleged illegal workers overstaying for the past two years at the Agriprocessors Inc. plant in Postville.
A former plant supervisor told Federal immigration that the company was allegedly accepting and hiring illegal workers from Mexico, Eastern Europe and Guatemala, who were in the U.S. illegally.
The source said the plant was also running a metamphetamine laboratory and workers were bringing weapons inside the plant.
Some 40 workers were released on "humanitarian reason" after being arrested because they were caregivers.
The U.S. Attorney Matt Dummermuth said the plant raid is the largest operation in the history of Iowa.

PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Janet Napolitano ordered the state to end an anti-illegal immigration contract with a high-profile sheriff Tuesday so she can pay for a larger effort to track down thousands of felons around Arizona.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Tuesday criticized the governor's decision as a maneuver to thwart his efforts against illegal immigrants.
"Dirty politics are at work right now," Arpaio said at a news conference.
Arpaio, who describes himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff" and is best known for feeding jail inmates green bologna sandwiches, clothing them in pink underwear, and making them work on chain gangs, received praise for his anti-immigration efforts from many who believe the federal government isn't doing enough to remove people in the U.S. illegally.
But his raids and sweeps of illegal immigrants in Phoenix and nearby Guadalupe have drawn protests from community leaders and civil liberties advocates. Arpaio, a Republican, has also been criticized for letting thousands of felony warrants go unserved while he chased illegal immigrants.
According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, there are about 59,000 outstanding, unserved felony warrants in the state. The majority are in Maricopa County, the state's most populated county.
Napolitano spokeswoman Jeanine L'Ecuyer denied that the Democratic governor was trying to cut into efforts to stop illegal immigration.
"It couldn't be further from the truth," L'Ecuyer said.
Pennie Gillette-Stroud, the DPS chief of the criminal investigations division, said Napolitano's multi-agency task force will focus on violent, repeat criminals as well as undocumented immigrants with felony warrants.
To help pay for the task force, the state Department of Public Safety won't renew a $1.6 million contract with the sheriff's office. That contract ends May 17th, DPS spokesman Bart Graves said.
What do you think local police agencies should do about enforcing immigration?
In 1994 the voters of California voted to deny illegal immigrants social services, health care, and public education...........A Federal court overturns the election setting the stage for the massive invasion of illegal aliens...
The Country highest court appointed Bush in 2000.
Yesterday by a vote of 4 to 3 California top court overturns the election results banning gay marriage. Once again the will of the people is dashed by 4 people in robes..
I don't care one way or another if gays want to marry each other........In fact I kinda like it because I get a kick of the religious right reaction to gay marriage. I think it's funny when they spew at the mouth..........anyway.
I think I am done with voting.....Whats the point of voting if your vote doesn't count.
Police 'shocked and appalled' after Australian leaves 5-year-old on car floor
AP news
DARWIN, Australia - An Australian man has been fined after buckling in a case of beer with a seat belt but leaving a 5-year-old child to sit on the car’s floor, police said Tuesday.
Constable Wayne Burnett said he was “shocked and appalled” when he pulled over the unregistered car Friday in the central Australian town of Alice Springs.
The 30-can beer case was strapped in between two adults sitting in the back seat of the car. The child was also in back, but on the car’s
“The child was sitting in the lump in the center, unrestrained,” Burnett told reporters Tuesday.
“I haven’t ever seen something like this before,” he said. “This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child.”
The driver was fined 750 Australian dollars — about $710 — for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle and for failing to ensure a child was wearing a safety belt.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — When members of an anti-illegal immigration group offered to sponsor litter cleanup on local roads, they never imagined California officials would offer them an Adopt-a-Highway stretch near a Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 5, the main artery carrying illegal migrants north from the U.S.-Mexico border.
On Friday, lawyers for the San Diego Minutemen told a federal judge that the state had no right to rescind the offer after state legislators complained to the California Department of Transportation. The group asked that its blue Adopt-a-Highway sign be put back where it stood without incident for about six weeks until the agency removed it in January.
"We were moved to silence our message in response to pressure from the open border advocates and the Latino caucus," said Minutemen attorney Robert Fuselier. "It all comes down to one thing: We can't have our speech because if we do, people who don't like it might become unruly and unlawful."
Attorneys for the state contend the sign was removed because of concerns that demonstrators or vandals could create safety hazards for the 160,000 drivers who pass the checkpoint daily and for Minutemen volunteers collecting litter by the roadside.
The Minutemen have had a polarizing influence in San Diego the last several years, achieving hero status among advocates of tightening border restrictions and sparking outrage from immigrant groups who accuse members of harassing migrant workers.
State lawyer Jeff Benowitz told U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes the Adopt-a-Highway signs amounted to a "thank-you" from the state, not political messages protected under the First Amendment. He said transportation officials planned to end all sponsorship of roads near Border Patrol stations, and had offered to reassign the Minutemen to a two-mile stretch of state route in a less-trafficked area in eastern San Diego County.
Hayes asked whether the state would continue moving the Minutemen sign if protests followed it.
"It would seem you're saying you're allowing the people who are unhappy with the message to dictate who can be in the program," the judge said.
"We can do that," Benowitz responded. "It is not a public forum."
Courts have found otherwise. In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Ku Klux Klan after Missouri officials sought to bar the group from its Adopt-a-Highway program under a regulation prohibiting groups that deny membership based on race or with a documented history of violence.
State legislators, meanwhile, renamed the contested stretch of highway the "Rosa Parks Highway" in honor of the black woman arrested in 1955 when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a city bus in Montgomery, Ala.
California assemblywoman Lori Saldana of San Diego said she was considering legislation that would stop the transportation department from accepting new sponsorships until it develops standards governing who qualified to participate in the highway adoption program.
"We want them to say what constitutes a legitimate group," Saldana said after the hearing. "Do we want these people allowed on a highway near a security checkpoint?"
Police searched the home of San Diego Minutemen leader Jeff Schwilk in 2007 during an investigation into alleged vandalism at three migrant camps in San Diego's McGonigle Canyon. No members of the group were arrested.
"We are not a hate group," Schwilk said outside the courtroom Friday. "The open borders people have made it very clear that they don't want our participation anywhere in San Diego County."
He said neither the sign nor the group's litter cleanup activities created hazards during the six weeks the sign stood.
Hayes said he would issue a written decision on the matter, but it was unclear when.
I'm not sure how I feel about this what do you think.......

SAN JOSE, Calif. — When Congress passed an economic stimulus package giving hefty rebates to most taxpayers, it tried to make sure that illegal immigrants didn't get any of the cash.
But in doing so lawmakers inadvertently penalized at least 1 million legal U.S. residents—and tens of thousands of U.S. troops stationed overseas—simply because their spouses lack a Social Security numberImagine an American soldier in Iraq whose foreign-born wife is waiting for an Immigration petition to be approved and doesn't have a Social Security card. Now the couple can't even get a rebate," said Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.). "That is really stupid."
Others in the predicament include legal residents whose spouses are still overseas because of long Immigration lines and hundreds of thousands of H-1B work visa holders.
The scope of the problem is only now becoming clear as the government begins sending out rebate checks. The first checks were electronically deposited in bank accounts early this month

Do you think if these illegal aliens weren't future church goers and money givers that the church may not be so interested?
Yesterday, May Day, we witnessed some of the largest demonstrations of immigrants on American soil. The masses of mostly brown skinned activists and their followers were protesting what they consider unjust immigration policy and practice in the United States of America. Strewn conspicuously throughout the congregants, one couldn't help but notice church banners, crosses and other religious symbols. It would seem we are witnessing faith-based immigration reform activism. Does this mean God is on the side of the protesters?
Seeing these demonstrations on television, my thoughts darted back and forth between the immigration arguments of social conservatives, with their focus on the respect for law and national security (both of which are good objectives), and their liberal counterparts, with their focus on the protection of human rights (also a very good thing).
I believe the immigration reform logjam we now encounter is due in great part to the false premise that the good immigration objectives of the conservative movement are incompatible with the good objective, in this case, of liberal activists. When religious leaders or institutions give priority to the defense of human rights (as they should), this false premise becomes even more compelling. After all, have you ever seen a priest or a pastor protesting illegal border crossing? There is a reason for this, but it's not what most would think.
No, God is not in favor of illegal behavior and dangerous borders. But given a church's spiritual and humanitarian role, it is right and understandable that it speaks out with special force against the miserable conditions of the immigrants whom companies and governments are utilizing for economic gain. This moral voice, however, mustn't be one-sided. Just as every immigrant has a right to be treated with dignity, every government has the right and obligation to regulate immigration to sustainable levels, for the good of its own citizens and its immigrants. Religious leaders should be saying this too, don't you think? Why aren't they? Some are.
This one-sidedness is particularly evident in partisan politics. Democrats have done a better job making themselves into the good guys in public opinion by rightly criticizing the administration for a hypocritical system of random and sporadic crackdowns on illegal workers. But Republicans rightly complain that, in fact, the Democrats aren't really the moral puritans they profess to be because they refuse to control the borders and penalize employers.
The truth of the matter, one that both parties should be able to agree upon in principle, is that the dark side of immigration activism is the pursuit of some good objectives to the exclusion or vilification of others. Wouldn't it be nice to hear a Democratic pundit (or priest or pastor) on cable television or talk radio speak about the importance of the respect for law, not as a concession to the opponent, but rather as a conviction of their own? And wouldn't it be refreshing to hear from a Republican pundit that no love for law or security is ever a valid excuse for treating people like animals, or slaves?
Republican and Democratic administrations and legislative majorities have been guilty of hypocrisy and complacency. Our politicians on both sides of the aisle have feigned interest in rectifying our present immigration crisis, while cuddling up to the beneficiaries of cheap labor made possible by porous borders and paralyzed structures.
Social conservatives and liberals alike would be wise to re-examine their approach to our present crisis of illegal immigration. God is on the side of human rights and also on the side of legality and security. It is our problem if we choose one over the other and pretend that we are righteous

Summary:
|
The E-Verify Program of the United States Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with the United States Social Security Administration, enables participating employers to use the program, on a voluntary basis, to verify that the employees they hire are authorized to work in the United States. This bill would prohibit the State of California from participating in any electronic employment verification system, as defined, unless required by federal law. The bill would also prohibit a city, county , city and county, or special district from requiring any employer to use an electronic employment verification system. This bill contains other existing laws.
