...Both the 18th Street and MS were originally started by Salvadorans in Los Angeles to fight the Mexican gangs, and then spread to San Francisco, New York and Washington, D.C. They thrive on robberies, extortion and "taxing" the street drug dealers. Says Russ Bergeron, INS media director, "We have a fundamental obligation to protect our American citizens from the threat posed by gang violence." And however ill-equipped Central American countries may be to cope with these criminals bred in U.S. cities, other governments have an obligation to take back their nationals, says the INS. But as San Pedro Sula...
...disproportionate number of people in our jails who are immigrants," says Diana Hull, CAPS president, who calls the sanctuary law the city's "rationalization" for not enforcing immigration laws. "They are not bad by virtue of where they come from; it's simply that the nice, middle-class Mexican population isn't that eager to come here." (The proportion of immigrants in U.S. jails is heavily disputed: a Public Policy Institute of California report found earlier this year that while 35% of adult Californians were born outside the U.S., only 17% of the state's adult prison population can make...
...cherished superhighway. For all of TCI's vaunted size, a fellow cable operator noted before the deal, ''John's still not half as big as any of the regional Bell companies.''

...border by the U.S. Border Patrol. Agents posted around the clock along a 20-mile stretch of the Rio Grande have virtually sealed off entry to illegal aliens, who used to stream into El Paso and adjacent New Mexico by the thousands from neighboring Ciudad Juarez. By scaring off Mexicans before they attempt to cross the river, agents have reduced their arrests from as many as 1,000 a day to an average of 135. El Paso officials envision giant savings in aliens' social costs -- now 20% of the budget -- if the border remains sealed. The crackdown has drawn overwhelming...
...country and my people,'' Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado wrote in an advertising supplement, ''(the World Cup) will give us a chance of showing the world the reality of Mexico.'' So, alas, it has. When the President stepped forward before 300 million TV viewers around the globe to open the quadrennial soccer tournament three weeks ago, his speech was drowned out by an almost unprecedented chorus of boos. A few days later, Mexico City's huge Aztec Stadium, unfilled even during a major game, ran out of water. At one point its official clock broke down; at another...
