Wal Mart goes Racist
Wal Mart perpetuates racism and stereotyping by giving people of Hispanic decent their own stores. It feeds balkanization and non-assimilation. Is this a purely business based practice? Not if one considers where the development will come from. The President of Wal Mart Stores, Eduardo Castro-Wright, in the US is also a member of National Council of La Raza and LULAC and a former college member of MeCha. All three are ethnic nationalist socialist groups who believe in ethnic special interests and the administration of special government treatment for people of Hispanic descent. La Raza means the race in reference to elevating Hispanics to the status of master race.

Wal-Mart looks to Hispanic market

Wal-Mart plans to open its first Hispanic-focused supermarkets this summer in Arizona and Texas as the largest US retailer continues its drive to expand its dominance of the US grocery business.
The pilot stores, named Supermercado de Walmart, will open in Phoenix and Houston in remodelled 39,000 sq ft locations occupied previously by two of Wal-Mart’s Neighborhood Market stores.
The retailer said that the stores were in “strongly Hispanic neighbourhoods” and would feature a “new lay-out, signing and product assortment designed to make them even more relevant to local Hispanic customers”. The staff will also be bilingual.
Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Club warehouse store also plans to open a 143,000 sq ft Hispanic-focused store called Más Club in Houston this year.
Several leading regional US supermarket chains already operate Hispanic store brands, including Publix in Florida, which operates three Publix Sabor markets, and HEB in Texas, which opened a Mi Tienda store in Houston in 2006.
The markets include elements such as cafés serving Latino pastries and coffee, and full service meat and fish counters.
Leading retailers are also pursuing Hispanic consumers online, with Best Buy and Home Depot having launched Spanish-language versions of their e-commerce sites in recent months.
Eduardo Castro-Wright, the head of Wal-Mart’s US stores since 2005, has also been an advocate of testing new smaller, more focused formats, and raised the idea of turning the Neighbourhood Market into a Hispanic-style bodega concept several years ago.
He has also developed Wal-Mart’s efforts…

Home Depot at standoff with laborers who swarm customers in bid for work

Sunday, March 08, 2009
Mustachioed and graying, dressed in the uniform of a full-time job he once had, Gonzalo Garcia is out in front of The Home Depot on Lake Worth Road most mornings, and it doesn’t take much to catch his eye.
In recent years, the Hispanic day laborers have become as much a part of the scenery at The Home Depot west of Lake Worth as the fence and hedges.
A braking pickup or the wave of a driver’s hand will send him and several other Hispanic day laborers rushing to the departing vehicle, their eyes bright with the possibility of a day’s work.
Garcia, at 49 a father of four, says he tends to hang back as the younger workers push forward. But his counterparts often run, hoping to be chosen to paint, rip out drywall or lay bricks.
The onslaught, a symptom of the voracious competition for dwindling numbers of day jobs, can be surprising to the unsuspecting, and even frightening.
In recent years, the Hispanic day laborers have become as much a part of the scenery at The Home Depot west of Lake Worth as the fence and hedges, and as more lose full-time jobs in construction or landscaping, their numbers seem to have grown.
The Home Depot is not pleased. Blaming the job seekers for causing accidents and driving away customers, the world’s largest home improvement retailer has been working to discourage them from rushing vehicles in the driveways and trespassing in the parking lot.
But the need for work keeps pushing the men forward, and the result has been an entrenched standoff.
Garcia, an undocumented Guatemalan national who had a regular job in construction until being laid off late last year, said he and the others only want to work and have no other way to find steady pay.
“We’re not here because we want to be here,” he said in Spanish. “We need to be.”
After repeated warnings, meetings and occasional trespassing arrests, the sheriff’s office has resorted in recent months to undercover stings to try to keep the laborers in place.
The workers are allowed to stand on the sidewalk or along the shoulder in front of the store, which is considered public property. But sheriff’s officials say they get into trouble when they block the entrance or wander past the hedges into the…

Pelosi: End raids splitting immigrant families
Kelly Zito, Chronicle Staff Writer
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined hundreds of families Saturday evening at a church in San Francisco’s Mission District demanding an end to the immigration raids and deportations that separate parents from children across the United States.

“Our future is about our children,” Pelosi told a crowd of mostly Latino families at St. Anthony’s Church.
No matter if those families arrived two days ago or centuries ago, Pelosi said “that opportunity, that determination, that hope has made American more American.”
She said, “Taking parents from their children … that’s un-American.”
Pelosi’s comments came during the San Francisco stop of a 17-city national “Family Unity” tour led by leaders of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Members of the caucus expect to meet with President Obama in two weeks to discuss the nation’s immigration policies.
“No city in American has been spared the devastating effects of our broken system,” said Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez, a Democrat who is leading the five-week tour. “We cannot wait any longer for fair and just immigration reform.”
Under the Bush administration’s Operation Return to Sender, tens of thousands of people have been arrested nationwide, including at least 1,800 in Northern and Central California.
While the raids have drawn protests across the region, anti-immigrant groups such as the Northern California chapter of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps have defended the actions.
In a state whose population is expected to rocket to 54 million by 2040 – including a Latino population of 27 million compared with 16 million whites and 7 million of Asian descent – immigration will be a critical issue for decades.

By William M. Welch, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES — Tens of thousands of jobs created by the economic stimulus law could end up filled by illegal immigrants, particularly in big states such as California where undocumented workers are heavily represented in construction, experts on both sides of the issue say.Studies by two conservative think tanks estimate immigrants in the United States illegally could take 300,000 construction jobs, or 15% of the 2 million jobs that new taxpayer-financed projects are predicted to create.
They fault Congress for failing to require that employers certify legal immigration status of workers before hiring by using a Department of Homeland Security program called E-Verify. The program allows employers to check the validity of Social Security numbers provided by new hires. It is available to employers on a voluntary basis.
JOBS FORECAST: Where the jobs are, state by state
STOCKS RECOVERY: Could take years“They could have deterred this, but they chose not to,” said Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies.
He said a federal requirement that employers use E-Verify would have reduced, if not eliminated, the hiring of immigrants in this country illegally.
An advocacy group for immigrants, illegal and legal, did not disagree with the 300,000 estimate. Camarota says the estimate is based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey and other independent findings that 15% of all construction workers in the USA are either illegal immigrants or lack the status of legal immigrant authorized to work.
But Jorge-Mario Cabrera, director of education for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, said it is impossible to predict with certainty because it is unknown how many jobless immigrant construction workers may leave the U.S., frustrated by the economic recession, before the new spending produces jobs.
He questioned the Center for Immigration Studies’ motives.
“Those are fear tactics. … ‘The immigrants are here to take your job,’ ” Cabrera said. “I think that we really should be focusing on economic progress for all.”
The center is a Washington policy organization that, its website says, “seeks fewer immigrants but a warmer welcome for those admitted.” Cabrera says his group believes unauthorized immigrants working in this country contribute to the economy.
A similar hiring estimate was produced in a report in February by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. Senior research fellow Robert Rector wrote, “Without specific mechanisms to ensure that workers are U.S. citizens or legal immigrants authorized to work, it is likely that 15%…

High Ranking Official Convicted of Releasing Illegal Aliens.
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/03/10/america/NA-US-Immigration-Bribes.php
DETROIT: A former senior U.S. immigration official who took bribes in exchange for releasing illegal immigrants from detention and other favors has been sentenced to three years, one months in prison.
The government requested a lesser sentence of two years in prison, citing Roy Bailey’s cooperation with the investigation of an as-yet-unnamed senior government official.
Defense attorney Michael Starr sought a sentence of 14 months.
But U.S. District Judge Julian Abele Cook Jr. Cook imposed the maximum under the federal sentencing guidelines Monday, saying the integrity of law enforcement and the U.S. immigration system had been undermined by Bailey’s corruption.
“Mr. Bailey held extremely high-ranking decision-making positions in his agency,” Cook said from the bench in federal court in Detroit. “Rather than uphold the high ethical standard we expect of him, he repeatedly used and abused his positions.”

Japanese Government Fights Back Against Illegal Immigration

State to take full control of foreign registration
Mar 5 07:21 PM US/EasternTOKYO, March 6 (AP) – (Kyodo)—The government approved a bill at a Cabinet meeting Friday to overhaul Japan’s immigration control system aimed at preventing illegal stays by foreign nationals by enabling the central government to take full control of their registration.
The proposed revision to the immigration control law is in response to criticism that the current dual administrative structure in immigration control has been often exploited for illegal stays.
At present, the central government handles immigration and permission for residency while municipalities are in charge of registration.
The bill would enable the central government to take over from municipalities the work of issuing registration cards for foreign nationals living in Japan more than three months. The card bears an individual’s name, picture, nationality and duration of stay.
The Justice Ministry estimates that in the past municipalities have issued registration cards to about 20,000 foreign nationals living in Japan illegally, a problem said to be the result of a lack of state authority to investigate registration data.
Under the revamped immigration control system, harsher penalties will be given to those living in Japan illegally — prison terms of one to 10 years for those who have forged registration cards, for example.
The bill would also extend the maximum period of stay for foreign residents to five years, in principle, from the current three years. This is to make the process more convenient for foreign nationals living in Japan legally.
Another pillar of the new immigration control system is to improve the working status of foreign vocational trainees by guaranteeing them legal protection in minimum wage and labor conditions after they engage in on-the-job training programs for two months or longer.
At present, such protection is accorded only to those who continue on- the-job…CONT

Congressman Luis Gutierrez Travels on National Amnesty Tour While U.S. Workers Stand in Unemployment Lines
Mar 5 01:10 PM US/EasternWASHINGTON, March 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Amidst a backdrop of rising unemployment, mounting economic turmoil, and increased costs of illegal immigration, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) is spending the next five weeks visiting 16 American cities promoting blanket amnesty for millions of illegal aliens and the dismantling of immigration law enforcement programs. Rep. Gutierrez describes the “Family Unity Immigration Outreach Tour” as an effort to “document the harm caused to citizens across our nation in the absence of comprehensive immigration reform.”
What is notably missing in Rep. Gutierrez’s tour is any mention of the harm caused to citizens and legal immigrants by illegal immigration or the permanent damage that would be done by enacting amnesty for an estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. With an unemployment rate of 7.6% and getting worse – the White House announced recently it is forecasting an increase to 8.1% – over 11 million Americans are scrambling for jobs. Yet according to the Pew Hispanic Center, an estimated 7.7 million jobs, desperately needed by U.S. workers, are held by illegal aliens. To be sure, unless worksite enforcement is continued, E-Verify reauthorized, and laws enforced, Americans will continue to compete against illegal aliens in ever greater numbers. An amnesty initiative would simply reward those who have broken the law, encourage more illegal immigration, and exacerbate a labor market already in distress.
“Lawmakers should be evaluating our immigration policy for its impact on the growing number of Americans out of work, not parading around the country trying to lay the groundwork for mass amnesty,” stated Dan Stein, President of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). “We cannot ignore the impact illegal immigration has on the job market – not in good times and certainly not now. It is a fiscal necessity and moral imperative to protect the American worker.”
“While millions of Americans are spending their time diligently looking for work, Rep. Gutierrez is trekking across the country peddling a special interest driven amnesty plan and calling for an end to ICE enforcement,…CONT
