Union with Ukip's England? Spare us \| Kevin McKenna	12.5.2013	Guardian: Comment is Free
Nationalists should be making an equitable immigration policy a central policy plank One by one, the few remaining ties that bind us with England are being loosened. For those of us who have cherished our shared heritage with our southern neighbours, the first two weeks in May have been dismal ones. The success of Ukip in the English local elections might have been inevitable, but even so, the procession of grotesques who staggered out of our television screens and into our living rooms the other week made you wrap your coat more tightly about yourself and steal a glance at the clock counting down the days to the referendum on Scottish independence. It seems the English people and their political classes are in thrall to a party that has only two policies: fear of immigrants and loathing for Europe and which is led by a chap who, it seems, has never stopped celebrating winning the Butlins 1983 Arthur Daley lookalike contest. How on earth did proud England ever let it come to this? Not even ...

Immigration reform might actually hinge on what the Bible tells us \| Sarah Posner	10.5.2013	Guardian: Comment is Free
A majority of evangelical Christians support immigration reform, but they won't make it a top issue like defending marriage As the Senate Judiciary Committee begins its mark-up of a bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill, the Republican base, usually known for its message discipline and rhetorical unity, is riven from within. A group of evangelicals, the GOP's reliable foot soldiers, is lobbying for reform, against the grain of anti-immigrant lawmakers and activists. By leaning on the Bible as the basis for reform, the group is exposing its own weakness: that as much as Republicans fawn over their base of Bible-believing Christians, they know that, unlike issues like homosexuality and abortion, there's no real threat that evangelicals will abandon them for failing to take their side. The Evangelical Immigration Table, a coalition of evangelical leaders who worked together (although fruitlessly) three years ago, is back with a push to urge lawmakers to pass a comprehensive ...

A Queen's speech ruined by absurd anti-immigration measures	8.5.2013	Guardian: Comment is Free
This panicky response to Ukip's rise is wrong on commercial, economic and even the narrowest of party political grounds There is something reassuringly Ruritanian about the rituals associated with the Queen's speech , from those flunkies in gold-trimmed finery to the words written on vellum in ink that days three days to dry. Yet the monarch proclaimed a message purporting to be unflinchingly modern: that the world is changing fast and the coalition's first priority is to ensure Britain can compete and thrive. Quite right. Yet this makes it all the more alarming that headlines are being dominated by measures underlining how the government is adopting an increasingly reactionary pose at odds with global realities. For the programme drips with hostility to immigration, although this is – like or not – a key rock upon which the nation's growth can be rebuilt. Instead landlords must make more checks against illegal entrants, businesses face bigger fines for using illegal foreign labour and ...

Italy race problems seen with black gov't minister	1.5.2013	AP Top News
ROME (AP) -- It was hailed as a giant step forward for racial integration in a country that has long been ill at ease with its growing immigrant classes. But Cecile Kyenge's appointment as Italy's first black Cabinet minister has instead exposed the nation's ugly race problem, a blight that flares regularly on the soccer pitch with racist taunts and in the diatribes of xenophobic politicians - but has now raised its head at the center of political life....

Tory ministers in disarray over response to Ukip 'clowns'	29.4.2013	The Guardian -- Front Page
Cabinet rifts emerge in runup to local elections, while Labour privately concludes Ukip must be kept out of 2015 TV debates Conservatives appeared to be in disarray on Sunday over the best response to the growing threat of a Ukip breakthrough in this week's local elections, with one cabinet minister denouncing them as bunch of clowns, fruitcakes and closet racists , while another said he was not concerned by the anti-immigration party. It also emerged that Labour has privately concluded, like the Conservatives, that Ukip must be kept out of the 2015 general election TV leaders' debates. Some Labour strategists had argued that a strong Ukip showing in the debates would damage the Conservatives, but it now appears there are greater fears that Ukip's brand of anti-politics could damage all three main parties in unpredictable ways. Cameron has already ruled out Ukip appearing in the debates, saying they are a contest between parties that could form a government. The fiercest denunciation ...

Immigration Proves A 'Rubik's Cube' For Many Republicans	18.4.2013	NPR News
They don't want to offend Hispanic voters, but they don't want to turn off the GOP base either, says Ron Bonjean, a former Republican leadership aide. And competing for Hispanic votes is not a top priority for the sizable number of Republican rank and file who still see the bill as amnesty.
