Republican candidates pander on immigration, St. Petersburg (FL) Times

  • Calling for more border walls, isolating Cuba and opposing the DREAM Act might sound forceful on the campaign trail. But that is indeed anti-immigrant, and it is coming from both Romney and Gingrich.
  • Rubio's hypocrisy in tamping down the rhetoric while supporting some of the same policies suggests a senator more interested in political calculations than enlightened policy that would benefit all of his constituents.
  • Republican Attacks Have Racist Undertones

Immigration Authorities Locked 13,000 In Limbo, Elise Foley, Huffington Post

  • There are alternatives to locking up people who would not otherwise be imprisoned if not for their immigration status, ones that would leave the person with his or her family, and cost taxpayers far less than the estimated $95 to $141 per day spent to detain them.
  • No Conviction, No Freedom
  • Immigrant Detainees Report Nearly 200 Instances Of Sexual Abuse
