Nevada Can't Ignore Illegal Immigrant Problem
Tales of human heartbreak spilled out into the hallways like the crowd at the Reno City Hall this past Saturday. The same was true in Las Vegas when state lawmakers held town hall meetings on the troubled state of the Nevada budget.
But along with the tearful pleas for budgetary clemency from those representing the disabled, elderly, mentally ill and classroom teachers, some unexpected voices were heard from a couple of state welfare workers concerned that illegal residents were getting more than their fair share of the state's human services pie.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) was created so that needy persons could get temporary welfare checks to support their families in times of turmoil. The “fairness issue” raised by the state workers is that illegal immigrants are faring better than U.S. citizens these days in the growing welfare lines...

Released Illegal Immigrants Cause Stir In Southeast Missouri
(Farmington, MO) -- People in one Missouri county are speaking out after a group of illegal workers were arrested and then set free.
It happened in Farmington, which is located in St. Francois County.
This past weekend, the sheriff says he arrested 14 illegal immigrants. The men were hired to help build a new hotel.
The sheriff says he hoped the arrests would help restore jobs to legal citizens. The unemployment rate in St. Francois County is more than 11 percent.
But when the sheriff called the Office of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he was told the case was not a priority and he had no authority to continue holding the men.
The explanation isn't sitting well with some residents.
"They're taking jobs away from people that need jobs right now that are US citizens," says Gerald Bowyer, an unemployed glass worker. "To me, it seems like the illegals in this country got more rights than what the Americans do."
For his part, the sheriff says he'll continue to investigate complaints of illegal workers, but fears the arrests will end with more releases.

In-State Tuition For Illegals?
New controversy brewing over an old bill signed into law by Rick Perry that allows illegal immigrants to attend Texas colleges at in-state tuition rates.
The bill signed into law in 2001 allows illegal immigrants to get in-state tuition so long as they intend to apply for permanent residency, but who's checking to make sure they go through with the process?
According to the governor during the last election-debate it's the Texas Education Agency, but Andy Kiesling with Texas Higher Education says that's not quite right. "There's no provision in the statute that requires follow up."
It's something that Alipac's William Gheen thinks is just part of a hidden movement to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants.
"It's quite obvious that you've got some very powerful big business groups in Texas that love their illegal aliens and want more of them."
The governor's office recently issued a retraction of Perry's statement.
