Arizona's Stormy Senate Race: Why the National GOP Is Watching
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyWhen Rep. Jeff Flake, a pro-immigration-reform Arizona Republican, said earlier this week he would run for the U.S. Senate in 2012, he immediately set off a chain of political storms inside and outside his own party, both in his state and in Washington. His campaign is no home-state affair. It could be a barometer of GOP unity nationwide, illustrating how the party would navigate the divisions between its two major wings -- its hard-line tea party advocates and its traditional conservatives. Arizona already has been a player at the national presidential level, and Flake's candidacy may be ...

Immigration and the Elections: What You Need to Know
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyThe Basics - In recent years Democrats and Republicans have tried to pass laws that balance the humanitarian reasons to allow immigration with the fact people are committing a crime when they come here without permission from the U.S. government. - Many Latinos strongly seek reform, and their vote or lack thereof could swing crucial states in 2010. - A comprehensive immigration reform bill introduced by President George W. Bush failed, and President Obama has also made little progress on the issue. - Liberal Democrats have pushed for a new effort to give undocumented workers "a path to ...
Judge: Leak by US Official Put Obama's Aunt at Risk
By Lisa Flam - AOL News(Aug. 18) -- The federal immigration judge who granted President Barack Obama's aunt asylum three months ago said in his decision that a federal official anonymously leaked her immigration status to the media, an illegal breach that put her at risk in her native Kenya. U.S. Immigration Judge Leonard Shapiro granted asylum to Zeituni Onyango in May. His written decision was released through the Freedom of Information Act and was first reported on this week by The Boston Globe. The 29-page ruling cites an Associated Press story from Nov. 1, 2008, that said Onyango was in the United States ...
What $600M in Border Security Spending Buys
By Dana Chivvis - AOL News(Aug. 13) -- President Barack Obama is set to sign a $600 million border security bill today. The legislation was approved by the Senate Thursday and by the House on Tuesday in special August sessions. The money will be raised in part through increased visa fees for foreign personnel companies that bring skilled foreign workers to the U.S. -- with hikes from $320 to as high as $2,750 each, according to the Los Angeles Times. (India is not happy.) The fees will be levied on companies that hire 50 or more foreign workers or have half or more than half of their staff on foreign visas. Here's ...
The 14th Amendment: A History Lesson
By Dave Thier - AOL News(Aug. 11) -- With illegal immigration an increasingly potent issue, some Republican senators are proposing changes to the 14th Amendment, starting with the first sentence -- the one that guarantees citizenship to anyone and everyone born on U.S. soil, including the children of parents here unlawfully. Nearly 150 years ago, however, it was the GOP that had to fight to get the amendment in place. When the amendment was ratified in 1868, its citizenship clause was a necessity that dealt with assigning legal status to the millions of slaves who had just been freed during the Civil War. (It also ...
Arizona Ruling May Lead to a Political Resolution
By not in system - AOL News(July 29) -- For those who support Arizona's controversial new immigration measure, there is very little in U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton's big ruling Wednesday that is encouraging. ...
Opinion: In Arizona, Courts Trump Lawmaking
By not in system - AOL News(July 28) -- It's no surprise that key parts of the Arizona immigration law were temporarily delayed today by a federal judge. The many lawsuits brought by the opponents of immigration enforcement (including the Obama administration) will now proceed. As Churchill said in a different context, this isn't the end; it's not even the beginning of the end. It's merely the end of the beginning. Assuming the state doesn't give up, which it has already said it will not, everyone understands this process will take several years of appeals, eventually reaching the Supreme Court. In today's America, all ...
