The immigrant desire to own a home could fuel the future housing market: Global Village, by Robert L. Smith, The Plain Dealer, 12-23-10  OJJPAC note:  More half-truths from one of the PD's top illegal alien cheerleaders.  The city's salvation is only possible if illegal aliens get amnesty....yada yada yada...he's got a one track mind.  Smith also never makes the distinction between legal and illegal immigrants either.

Taking a stand, Editorial, Toledo Blade, 7-29-10  

OJJPAC Note:  The Blade once again attacks the mayor of Toledo for not joining other political nitwits in supporting amnesty for illegal aliens (they call it "comprehensive immigration reform").  Although I think there are much stronger reasons to vote against the Resolution sponsored by an ethnocentric member of city council, he never-the-less voted appropriately--killing this foolish resolution.  Toledo needs to return to a rule of law pathway if it wants to recapture any part of its past economic glory--not create a pathway of illegality for its growing numbers of illegal aliens.

Hiding My “Undocumented-ness” in an Arizona Airport, by TM, Silicon Valley De-Bug Magazine, 7-28-10    OJJPAC Note:  This is allegedly written by an illegal alien who claims to have lived in the U.S. for 20 years.  The article is about his business trip from Arizona to Ohio via airplane. I'm curious what ID was used to board the flight.

The Bishop is encourage Catholics to call public officials to support amnesty (aka "comprehensive immigration reform") and sticking taxpayers with $50 billion+ price tag that it will cost taxpayers to take care of millions of illiterate illegal migrants.  The Bishop should stay out of politics and spend his time praying for forgiveness for all the sex crimes the Catholic church has covered up.
