Center For Immigration Studies Argues that mass Mexican immigration deprives american Jews of political power and influence, and therefore a reducation of immigration should follow. http://www.cis.org/articles/2001/back1301.html
Extractions: Most of all, my conversion is the consequence of my contact over the years with Mark Krikorian, Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies, and the Center's work. We dialogued and formally debated on several occasions, and I moderated public forums in which Mark took part. If dialogue has any meaning, if speakers actually listen to each other rather than close their ears and merely wait impatiently to say their say, then the possibility that one can change as a result of what one hears must be acknowledged. The Socratic method was alive and well in our exchanges, and I did. But, as I've noted, the change came slowly, the process recalling not St. Paul on the road to Damascus but the Latin proverb Stillicidi casus lapidem cavat , "constant dripping hollows out a stone." My thought was also significantly influenced by a superb conference on immigration, "Thy People Shall Be My People: Immigration and Citizenship in America," sponsored by the Robert R. McCormick Tribune Foundation in July of 2000. Perhaps its principal contribution to challenging my point of view was having the opportunity to listen to my own side's thesis articulated by those willing to take it to its extreme, and their reductio ad absurdum made plain the very great dangers within it.
Terrorism And Immigration The best way to preserve the american people's commitment to keeping their doors open to the world is to crack down on lax enforcement of the immigration laws. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/05/opinion/05FRI1.html
Testimony Of Harold Ezell, February 22, 1996 Testimony given to the .S. Commission on immigration Reform Before the House of Representatives. The american people are fed up with illegal immigration. It is against the law, and I would remind you that every one of us who has served in public office takes an oath to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed. If thefederal government was doing its job to stop illegal immigration, there would never have been a need for Prop 187, which was supported by an overwhelming majority of California voters, nearly 60 percent. http://www.utexas.edu/lbj/uscir/022296.html
Extractions: February 22, 1996 Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee, I want to thank you for inviting me to testify here today, and I also want to welcome youthose of you who are not Californiansto the State of California. I know that Randy Cunningham agrees with me that it is a good thing when committees of the Congress come back to the rest of the nation to see the effects of the policies which you enact in our behalf. It is especially fitting that you are here in San Diego to examine immigration policies. We all hope that you learn something while you are here, and all of us Californians will be glad to help you in that endeavor. My name is Harold Ezell. I am President of the Ezell Group, which is an international financial and business consulting firm based in Newport Beach. Years ago, I founded a chain of restaurants, so I have considerable real-world business experience. Based in part on that experience, President Ronald Reagan appointed me to be Western Regional Commissioner for the INS. While I was Western Commissioner, we implemented the Immigration Reform and Control Act, including both the amnesty provisions and sanctions on employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. I left the INS after the Reagan administration to return to the private sectorgratefullybut I have stayed active in the immigration debate. In 1992, the House Republican Leadership appointed me to serve on the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform, which is a bipartisan Congressional advisory commission. It is important to hear that word "bipartisan," because immigration isn't a partisan political issue. All of the Commission's recommendations have been unanimous, or with only one dissenter. This from a nine-member Commission with Reagan Republicans and Tip O'Neill Democrats on it, who don't agree on anythingexcept on how important it is to preserve our heritage as a nation of immigrants dedicated to the rule of law.

Common Decency, Elemental Fairness & Pat Buchanan. Argues that Pat Buchanan is a dedicated Conservative. Defends him against charges on Nazis, tariffs, Jews, unions, immigration and american foreign policy. http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/november.htm
Extractions: This correspondent has not endorsed Patrick Buchanan for President; neither as a Republican, nor as a third party candidate. While we consider him dedicated, articulate and intelligenta man who has contributed much to the Conservative revival in America;he is not the only Conservative in the race. It is too early to make a firm commitment. Moreover, we have several significant differences with Pat over issues of the 1990s. We do not agree with Pat's opposition to the Gulf War. We believe that America had a legitimate interest in preserving the independence of our allies in Kuwait and Saudi-Arabia; that having accepted the enormous benefits of their very substantial investments in American industry and finance, we had a moral obligation to them, as well; that this combination of self-interest with moral obligation, clearly justifiedeven necessitated our involvement. But Pat urged equally important Conservative principles in reaching a different conclusion, and we must respect him for them. We do not agree with Pat's Trade Policy. A proud Ohioan, our historic ideological identification is with the Virginia of Thomas Jeffersonthe reflective, landed culture, that provided the ethos for the American Mainstream in the early 19th Century, when Ohio grew to Statehood and renown. Tariffs were suspect in such circles long before economists generally came to understand that they are self-defeating.
