Monkey business in Danbury
Friday, February 29, 2008
Danbury's partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has dominated the discussion over illegal immigration in the city. According to The NewsTimes,
Didn't Mayor Boughton and the Common Council members have that discussion already? Why do we need to have another discussion? I thought it was "in the middle". They voted 19 to 2. If you did not see the discussion, you can see it below. Enjoy!
Boughton said the discussion over illegal immigration can't be dominated by fringe groups on the left and right. "It gives them license to be racist," Boughton said of groups on the far right, while adding the far left opposes any efforts to curb illegal immigration." The discussion has to happen in the middle," Boughton said.

Kosovo independence imminent

Kosovo is expected to declare independence from Serbia on Sunday, with its majority ethnic Albanian population already celebrating.
Although the provincial government has refused to confirm the move, Hashim Thaci, the prime minister, has said that Sunday would be "a big day, a peaceful day".
People began to celebrate in the streets on Friday night.
Tachi had said on Friday: "In independent Kosovo, not one citizen will feel discriminated against or neglected. We guarantee equal rights and security. Kosovo is the homeland of all citizens."
But political tensions continued over the potential declaration of independence with Boris Tadic, the Serbian president, saying he "will never give up fighting for our Kosovo and I will, with all my might, fight for Serbia to join the European Union".
As he was sworn in for a second presidential term in Belgrade, Tadic said he intended to defend Serbian sovereignty over Kosovo, which his country's constitution proclaims as an "integral" part of Serbia.
Considered pro-Western, Tadic opposes Kosovan independence but not at the expense of Serbia's potential European Union integration.
