Restaurants and restaurants opened their operations in the Czech Republic on Saturday, which support the Chcípl PES initiative. They did so in protest of epidemiological measures that do not allow the opening of such companies. The aim of the protest is not to make money on the pandemic, but to survive, said co-organizer of the protest Jakub Olbert from the Prague restaurant Šeberák, according to the Novinky.cz portal.

CNN's Anderson Cooper asked Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush about his ability to speak Spanish, and Bush responded by asking Cooper in Spanish if he wanted to conduct the rest of the interview in his second tongue. The exchange happened during CNN's town hall meeting Thursday night. -snip- The phrase, "Si quieres hacer esta entrevista en Espanol, los hemos," translates to "If you want to conduct this interview in Spanish, we can."

Some of Jeb Bush's most steadfast allies think Saturday might be the end. Donors, who poured millions into his campaign and super PAC, have stopped giving – one refusing a direct request to raise $1 million this week. Bush himself is hitting the phones, pleading for patience with his most influential supporters. And even some of his confidants are suddenly dejected after a dispiriting week capped off by South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley rejecting Bush in favor of Marco Rubio. "What a kick in the balls," said one of Bush's closest supporters and one of the more than a dozen...

Look what I found!!!

La Raza, MALDEF, MEChA, and all the rest of the shameless open-borders crowd should be quaking in their collectivist sandals. A fiery, well-spoken, and very wise Latina says that Arizona has the right to “protect our state from foreign invasion.” That would be Gabriela Saucedo. In this YouTube video, Gabriela, who became a U.S. citizen in 1991, delivers a riveting defense of American sovereignty and SB 1070 (Paging Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano. She’s read the bill! She brings copies to the meeting!) to Mayor Bob Walkup and the Tucson City Council during the public comment portion of a meeting.

Payan attended mass last Sunday hoping to learn more about rumors that he might soon be forced to vacate McGonigle Canyon, an undeveloped tract of land that bisects the upscale neighborhoods of Rancho Peñasquitos and Carmel Valley. It's where the 20-year-old migrant worker and 100 to 200 other men make humble homes amongst the gravel and brush.

I think this is very interesting. Congressman Tom Tancredo's opponent in the Fall is Bill Winter. Who is this man? You'd think he would have no name recognition, that he would ba a nobody. He's a Democrat running in a Republican district where the incumbent is practically a star for his possition on illegal immigration. However, he is recognized by some people. http://www.winterforcongress.com/endorsements.asp While running in a district not nearly as important as CA-49, or TX-22 he is endorced by John Kerry, the Salazar duo, Russ Feingold, John Murtha, Louis Gutierez, Dennis Kucinich, Westly Clark, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and...

Boycott of Fox a protest By: RAY HAYNES - Commentary The president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, spoke to the California Legislature on Thursday; this while the U.S. Senate was voting on an immigration bill. I chose not to go to the Fox speech. Since many people may misconstrue what occurred, I believe a statement explaining my actions is needed. I have been in the Legislature for some time, and I have seen many heads of state pass through. The American republic and its operations are fascinating to these foreign politicians, and addressing the California Legislature is often a high point...

BRODER Published: May 26, 2006 SACRAMENTO, May 25 — In an echo of the debate on immigration under way in Washington, the California Legislature gave visiting President Vicente Fox of Mexico a two-edged welcome on Thursday. Democratic and Latino members, including the Assembly speaker, Fabian Núñez, embraced Mr. Fox, while some Republicans boycotted his evening address to a joint session of the Legislature. Other Republicans attended the speech, but wore yellow buttons reading "No más!" to protest Mr. Fox's support for liberalizing American policies on immigration. In his...

Mexican President Vicente Fox arrived in California Thursday amid intense debate over immigration and as the U.S. Senate approved sweeping reforms that include tighter border security and a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants. Fox was to address a joint session of the state Legislature and meet privately with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, their first meeting since the movie star became governor.

And the agency charged with enforcement doesn't always have time to pursue illegal employers.

SAN DIEGO - The U.S. government is launching two new media campaigns to try to stop immigrants from attempting clandestine border crossings and trying to sneak children into the country in car trunks, engines and even gasoline tanks. One ad unveiled Thursday shows a young girl gasping for air inside a car trunk while her mother bangs desperately on the lid as the vehicle sits snarled in traffic. Others invoke images of a graveyard and a funeral procession. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced some of the ads Thursday at San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing, the nation's busiest....
