Immigration round-up:

- Police in Hudson, N.H., have arrested a fourth illegal alien on trepassing charges. “Our position is that if you entered the country illegally, you committed a crime,” Hudson Police Chief Richard Gendron told The Lowell Sun. “The United States government has spent billions of dollars on Homeland Security since September 11, 2001, and it starts with illegal aliens. They should not be here.”

- Rep. Tom Tancredo is still considering running for President to call attention to the immigration issue.

- The Washington Post profiles the Bush Administration's use of immigration law as an anti-terror tool. Oddly, the article omits the most prominent example of this policy--the arrest of Zacarias Moussaoui for an expired visa in Auugst 2001. If civil liberties and Muslim groups were in charge, Moussaoui would not have been arrested on a "minor" immigration violation and presumably would have participated in the September 2001 or subsequent hijackings.

- Daniel Pipes has questions about the Lodi, California, arrests of five men of Pakistani origins.

- The Los Angeles Times argues that Mexican nationals on Death Row in the U.S. should have their sentences commuted if they were not informed of their right to consult with the Mexican consulate before trial. Patterico rebuts. (Via James Fulford.)

- Arizona's Proposition 200 goes to court.

- "The family of slain Los Angeles sheriff's Deputy David March finds both solace and sadness in the arrest in Mexico of a man suspected of killing a Denver police officer," the L.A. Daily News reports.

Update: Blogger Trey Jackson interviews Newt Gingrich about the border.
