This should be cause for celebration; after all, border security is top on our American resident priority list. But don't bring out those pens just yet nor open that bottle of champagne too quickly. I have further information regarding the job openings.

The single item I deleted from this legitimate job-opening letter of advisement is the following.

Dear readers, you see this is not an United States Department of State application for work protecting our American borders; this is an application request by the United States Department of State to protect Iraq's borders (www.manews.org/0404iraqborder.html).

"Border Security is a key component to ensuring a stable future for Iraq. Not only does Iraq experience massive seasonal border crossings due to religious pilgrimage, but its borders have also become routes for the smuggling of untaxed materiel, narcotics, weapons, and terrorists.

As such, the Borders Police Consultant will work with the Ministry of Interior to ensure that policies, procedures, and capabilities are in place that will ensure Iraqi border security by reducing or terminating illegal border crossings, and by implementing modern border management, including appropriate facilities, a well equipped and well trained border enforcement capability, and applicable customs and immigration procedures."

Iraq’s American Border Police job description should suffice as a template for the hiring our own United States Border Patrol.

Remind your Congressmen, Senators and President (www.numbersUSA.com) of their promise to enhance America’s borders with the recent passing of the Intel Bill.

We living in America also deserve a 'cause for celebration.' In our own USA homeland.

WOW.

Prop. 200-style system already law in Mexico
http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/1019Reverse19.html

Republic Mexico City Bureau

MEXICO CITY - The provisions of Proposition 200 have stirred up a storm of debate in Arizona. But here in Mexico, they're already the law.
Arizona's contentious ballot proposal would require proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote and proof of legal residency when applying for government benefits.
In Mexico, it has been that way for years. Only in hospitals are Mexico's laws more lenient about checking immigration documents. advertisement
To see if the requirements are being enforced, a Republic reporter (a U.S. citizen with legal residency in Mexico), went to six public agencies and two schools in Mexico City to inquire about services and registering to vote.
Almost every official asked to see proof of Mexican citizenship or an FM3 visa, the document that allows a person to live in Mexico. Often, it was the first question asked.
"Every agency has its own regulations, but generally, that's the rule. To receive these government services, you have to prove you are in the country legally," said Victoria Hernández, a spokeswoman for the Mexican Secretariat of Government, which oversees immigration.
Those same requirements have set off a furious debate in Arizona.
Opponents of Proposition 200, which will be on the Nov. 2 ballot, say it will turn state employees into immigration agents, build a culture of fear in government offices and create a public health risk by discouraging undocumented immigrants from seeking medical care.
Supporters say the measure will protect the election process and cut expenses by keeping undocumented immigrants from seeking benefits.
The Mexican government has been mostly silent on the issue. In one of the few public statements about Proposition 200, Mexico's undersecretary of foreign affairs for North America, Geronimo Gutiérrez, would say only that the Foreign Ministry "remains very attentive to how this measure is developing."
The Mexican media, usually strident on immigrant issues, has also mostly ignored Proposition 200.

Registering to vote

Under the Proposition 200 rules, all Arizonans would have to show proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote. That could be a birth certificate, a U.S. passport, an Arizona driver's license issued after 1996, a Bureau of Indian Affairs card or a tribal treaty card number. Voters would also have to show a photo ID at the polls.
Currently, Arizona voters can register through the mail or online. The application has to include either their Arizona driver's license numbers or the last four digits of their Social Security numbers.
In Mexico, voter registration is handled by a nationwide agency, the Federal Elections Institute. Voters are issued cards with their photos and fingerprints when they register, and the cards must be shown at the polls. Poll workers use ultraviolet lights to check security codes printed on the cards.
Mexicans have to register in person at the institute's offices, and they must present one of 19 documents proving Mexican citizenship. The documents range from a birth certificate to a sworn statement by two registered voters.
When the Republic reporter asked about registering at an institute office in Mexico City, he was immediately asked if he was a Mexican citizen, and then told he would have to present naturalization papers.
