The Associated Press recently reported that Republican congressman Tom Tancredo has called into question the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) methods in handling a document containing survey results. The survey reportedly indicates, among other things, that nearly half of all immigrants lacking proper documentation taken into custody between January 7 and January 27 of this year said that they believed the Bush administration would grant amnesty to temporary workers, as per the president’s plan. Rep. Tancredo cited concerns such as security risks and increased incidents of unlawful immigration as his complaints with DHS and White House behavior. Both immigration advocates and DHS spokeswoman Kristi Clemens denied the importance of the survey, calling it “silly” and “out of context.”

 

According to a DHS press release, the United States, Mexico, and Canada have agreed on an initial report of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). The respective leaders of the represented nations met earlier this year and created the SPP to “further our common security goals and achieve transformational improvements.” Among the specific aims of the partnership are a Trusted Traveler Program, combating piracy, strengthening regulations on e-commerce and industrial goods, and enhancing public health and safety.
