(CNSNews.com) - Several hundred protesters gathered outside the White
House on Sunday to complain about President Bush's handling of the
immigration issue, including his push for "comprehensive" reform. The
protesters demanded tighter border security.
"We are in a struggle to save the sovereignty of our nation," said
protest organizer D.A. King, president of the Dustin Inman Society
(DIS). "The price of losing is open borders and the loss of the
republic."
King said the protesters have nothing against "people who join the
American family according to American laws." In fact, King mentioned
that he has an adopted sister who is a legal immigrant.
DIS is a Georgia-based group "dedicated to educating the public and
our elected officials on the consequences of illegal immigration,"
according to its website. The group is named after a Georgia teenager
killed in a car crash involving an illegal immigrant.
Sunday's demonstration kicked off four days of action against
illegal immigration. For the next three days, 35 radio hosts will
broadcast from a Washington, D.C., hotel while their listeners visit
elected officials to lobby against comprehensive reform.

Officials say no, but new task force probing 'growing' benefit fraud
Amid the U.S. government's acknowledgment of rampant document and benefit fraud, the Federal Reserve is wiring 26,000 Social Security payments every month to Mexicans south of the border.
Officials with the Federal Reserve and Social Security Administration insist payments are not going to illegal aliens but admit they cannot be certain. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has launched a new task force to address the "growing" problem of benefit fraud, including in the Social Security Administration.
Jean Tate, spokeswoman for the Federal Reserve, said 26,000 of the 27,000 payments made monthly via the Fed's "Directo a Mexico" service are for Social Security recipients.

Pursuit ends in Placentia after federal agents serving firearm warrant in Lakewood see man flee in pickup.
PLACENTIA – A 30-year-old man described as a violent gang member with a decade-long criminal history was arrested after a high-speed chase that started in Lakewood early Thursday morning and ended in Placentia almost an hour later.
Juan Pablo Camacho, 30, has been deported twice to Mexico and was wanted for re-entering the country illegally. He lived in Lakewood and is suspected of being involved in numerous crimes including gang activity, narcotics and illegal firearms.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently learned he was back in the United States and a hunt began.
Just before 6 a.m. an ICE team showed up at Camacho's residence with a federal arrest warrant and a search warrant. Agents found him in a black pickup truck. They tried to detain him but Camacho took off.

WASHINGTON, April 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While illegal aliens
and their supporters take to the streets to demand amnesty and other

Washington, D.C., as part of the Hold Their Feet to the Fire event, to
make sure that the president and Congress hear them loud and clear.

all across the United States, will be broadcasting from a Capitol Hill
hotel, focusing on one topic -- immigration enforcement -- while
ordinary citizens fan out across Capitol Hill to meet with every member
of Congress.
The message from talk radio will be a simple one: Enforce our
nation's borders; crackdown on employers who hire illegal aliens; end
all non-emergency benefits and services to illegal aliens. Above all
the message of Hold Their Feet to the Fire is, NO AMNESTY, NO NEW GUEST
WORKER PROGRAMS.

An ongoing audit of companies contracting with the military has turned
up nine undocumented workers employed by Classic Party Rentals, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.
According to the agency, the company has contracted with Miramar
Marine Corps Air Station. Five women and four men, all Mexican
nationals, were arrested yesterday morning at the company's Mira Mesa
office and have been placed in removal proceedings.
All had presented false identification to obtain work, said ICE
spokeswoman Lauren Mack. The company was audited as part of Operation
Safe Cities, a federal program launched in late 2003 to check local
companies that contract with agencies connected to national security.

Arizona's proof of citizenship in voting requirement upheld
By Howard Fischer
CAPITOL MEDIA SERVICES
Arizonans are going to continue to have to present proof of citizenship to register to vote -- at least for the time being.
Without dissent, a federal appellate court ruled Friday that a
3-year-old requirement for Arizonans to produce identification to
register to vote is not the same as an illegal "poll tax."
The three-judge panel rejected arguments that people will have to
spend money to obtain certain forms of ID to meet the legal mandate
that they prove U.S. citizenship. That, attorneys argued, effectively
made that a tax on voting, something the U.S. Supreme Court ruled
illegal.
But Mary Schroeder, chief judge of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, said that isn't the case here.
"Voters do not have to choose between paying a poll tax and
providing proof of citizenship when they register to vote," she wrote
for the court.
"They only have to provide the proof of citizenship," Schroeder
continued. "Nor does Arizona's new law make the affluence of the voter
or payment of any fee an electoral standard."
