The federal No Child Left Behind Act requires that a higher percentage
of students pass standardized math and reading tests each year.
Meeting those requirements will become harder as school systems admit
an increasingly larger proportion of non-English-speaking students.

[OVERWHELMINGLY of illegal alien parents; many of the students are
illegals themselves -- but it doesn't matter to the educrats -- get
that wallet open and pay up!]

Hispanics, who make up 12 percent of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
population, account for most of the immigrant growth in the district.
Nearly 2,500 more Hispanic students reported on the first day of
school this year.

 [And this is North Carolina -- gee, N.C. as once part or Mexico? Who
knew!
 Actually, what's going on all over the USA is not so much a
"reconquista" (reconquest) as a "conquista" (conquest) of lands never,
ever part of Mexico.]

The children of immigrants now are one-fifth of all U.S. school-age
children.

  [Average cost per year to put a student -- illegal aliens costing
significanly MORE due to special language programs, textbooks and
other materials required: $12,000.
  Average number of kids of a typical illegal alien family: from what
I can see, about 5, although frequently more. So just one illegal
alien family is costing American taxpayers -- large numbers of whom
are deep in credit card and other debt (see "Record-High Past-Due
Credit Card Payments" at
http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBIKQVK5EE.html) about $60,000 per year
to school illegal aliens/the kids of illegal aliens, huge numbers of
whom will later drop-out anyway.]

Nine percent of N.C. students are the children of immigrants. Here are
the five states with the highest percentage of immigrant students.

California: 47 percent
[I dispute this figure; the Los Angeles school district, the 2nd
largest in the nation, is over 90% latino illegal alien/offspring of
illegal aliens]
Nevada: 29 percent
New York: 28 percent
Texas: 27 percent
Florida: 26 percent

WASHINGTON -- Groups upset about illegal immigration and some
Republican lawmakers say that any reform -- such as the one proposed
by President Bush -- must include a provision to end birthright
citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants and temporary
workers.

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., who heads a 90-member caucus pushing to
tighten immigration laws, has introduced his proposal to deny
citizenship to U.S.-born children of temporary immigrant workers.

He said the provision was vital because immigrants do not want to
leave after their visas expire if their children are U.S. citizens.

In addition, Rep. Nathan Deal, R-Ga., has proposed a measure that
would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to limit automatic
citizenship at birth to children of U.S. citizens and lawful
residents.

And Rep. Mark Foley, R-Jupiter, introduced a constitutional amendment
that would eliminate birthright citizenship for the children of
illegal immigrants.

Most scholars believe a constitutional amendment is necessary to
change the birthright citizenship provision, but some disagree because
of different interpretations of the 14th Amendment. Changing the
Constitution requires ratification by three-fourths of the states.

Any legislative statutes passed by Congress that eliminate birthright
citizenship would be immediately challenged in the courts, experts
said.

The House Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Claims will
hold a hearing today on birthright citizenship, dual citizenship and
their impact on national sovereignty. Several legal experts are
scheduled to testify.

Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration
Reform, a national group that lobbies to reduce illegal immigration,
said the lure of U.S. citizenship for children is a "huge incentive"
for people to come to the United States illegally because it opens the
door to many social benefits.

Once grown, the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants can petition
for their parents' residency, and family reunification is often cited
as a reason for amnesty proposals.

"We're bestowing citizenship without consent, without our consent...
to people who have not subjected themselves to U.S. jurisdiction,"
said Stein. "We're allowing other countries to manipulate our laws."

But immigrant advocates and Hispanic groups counter that employment is
the major motivator for illegal immigration and that support for
ending birthright citizenship is simply a sign of anti-immigrant
sentiment.

"The only thing that this kind of change gets you... is stateless
people, which doesn't solve any problem," said Cecilia Munoz, vice
president for policy at the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic
civil rights organization.

Under the proposals, U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants or
temporary workers would have unclear citizenship and become an
official second class without the same protections as everyone else
born and raised in the United States, Munoz said.

"This is not a matter of immigration policy, this is a matter of
changing who we are fundamentally as a nation," she added.

The United States grants citizenship to every child born in the United
States with the exception of children of foreign diplomats, who keep
the citizenship of their home country.

One other exception, which would deny citizenship to the children of
members of an occupying force, has never been an issue in the United
States, said Peter Spiro, an international law professor at the
University of Georgia School of Law who is testifying at today's
hearing.

Spiro said proposals to change the birthright citizenship have been
around since the mid-1990s and have never come to fruition.

"It's part now of our entrenched constitutional tradition that all
children born in the territory of the United States are deemed
citizens at birth," he said.

The tradition dates to English common law, and the right has been
ratified through several court decisions, he said.

In addition, the 14th Amendment states that "all persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States."

Colorado Rep. Tancredo and others contend that the amendment does not
apply to children of illegal immigrants because they are not "subject
to the jurisdiction" of the United States.

Spiro said the amendment's wording is ambiguous but that the courts
would likely strike down any legislation that tried to change the
granting of birthright citizenship.

Liberals are EVERYTHING they accuse the right of being.
They are mean, vicious, hateful, greedy, cold-hearted, closed-minded,
selfish, intolerant, bigoted and racist.

Wide Open

All American people, police officers and soldiers hear
this out please. Mr. Mueller has shown no commitment
to represent the FBI. He has made no responsible public
mention of the investigations regarding General Ahmed,
and his connection to Mr. Atta, nor Odigo's two hour
warning. He has not mentioned the investigations
regarding the Israeli spy ring done by the FBI, and it
has been only FOX News, the DEA, and their spokesperson
Rogenc Waite, who have been able to get around Mr.
Mueller's contemptuous silence for America, while
bushmobster Susan Dryden, states we are all an urban
myth. The FAA, NORAD (Canada's arm), Mike Vreeland, the
CIA even, and several responsible military and civilian
air traffic controllers, and a great many others
disagree with CNN's refusal to mention our public
statements against bush and rumsfeld's contentions.
Never mind Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik who was
handed Atta's passport by someone not named yet, of
which Kerik stated "Apparently, it must have fallen into
the air just as the crash occurred, surviving the almost
1000 degree heat of the fire, then came across a strong
wind to blow it several blocks away." With loose papers
between the pages of the passport even surviving the
gusts. Now we witness the corporate cultists, desperate
to contain us with the magic bullet theorists, we're
expected to believe 2000 degrees actually is the only
way possible, as impossible to prove scientifically.
Also remember, the buildings weight were bore by
interconnecting columns of steel through a central core
design named "tube within a tube", not like a simple
toothpick project laid out by fancy computer grapics,
that neglect the actual blue print designs, as thought
through since before the Roman Empire. If still so
though, how then can the desperate doubters explain
building Seven, or maybe Six, not struck by planes, but
fell just the same without melted bricks?, of glass? As
also reported, Atta actually taking the time to pack,
yes that's right, pack his suicide letter is too stupid
for even the average American intellect. Nevermind the
sneaky suspected terrorists arguing over a parking space
restricted at the airport yelling. Or, Mr. Mueller's
ATM picture of a 'highjacker' who was already dead while
the picture was supposedly taken. Hmmm... dead men as
the terrorists named Mohammad or something like that..
Jesus! Then finding out according to James Woods, the
double agent actor, bush's Mueller had secretly, only
two officers responsible for following more than 30,000
selective as important leads over a crime of such
magnitude. Bing bing bing bing bing bing bing bing bing
bing bing bing bing bing.. Hey... Did you hear that?
We see the weakness of the many stuck as bushmobsters,
like possibly completely innocent Myers, and his
inability as cowardice to speak out regarding his
political position as responsible to America, likewise
as so many others, showing no concern for the nation as
US people. Typical of a usual ignorant fascist right
winger sellout like bush has been his entire career to
his barely living self of evilness never before
witnessed. And, I could go on for twenty more pages on
the motives, Enron, and the proven to be criminals at
the Pentagon, with the official corporate news story
failing the simplest of scrutinies.

Reminder: first tower was struck at 8:45, second, 9:03.

WASHINGTON -- The invasion of Retired general: Iraq invasion was
'strategic disaster'
The Lowell Sun

WASHINGTON -- The invasion of Iraq was the "greatest strategic
disaster
in United States history," a retired Army general said yesterday,
strengthening an effort in Congress to force an American withdrawal
beginning next year., Retired Army Lt. Gen. William Odom, a Vietnam
veteran, said the invasion of Iraq alienated America's Middle East
allies, making it harder to prosecute a war against terrorists.

The U.S. should withdraw from Iraq, he said, and reposition its
military
forces along the Afghan-Pakistani border to capture Osama bin Laden
and
crush al Qaeda cells.

"The invasion of Iraq I believe will turn out to be the greatest
strategic disaster in U.S. history," said Odom, now a scholar with the
Hudson Institute.
