Sheriff Babeu Disapproves of How Obama Has Treated Arizona

Our governance would certainly be improved if more police officers would run for public office — along with teachers, carpenters, doctors, scientists and soldiers. Around 45 percent of the members of Congress are lawyers, and a greater variety of backgrounds would serve the nation well.

Police in particular have a job experience that informs them about [...]

States Broaden Approach to Unwelcoming Illegal Aliens

The Obama administration has waged a full-out war against states that are doing the immigration enforcement the feds won’t do.

Arizona has been struggling in court to maintain its state policing, which is based on federal laws already in place. Last May, the Supreme Court upheld Arizona’s workplace identification law.

When state enforcement is given half a [...]

Romney: Deport Obama's Illegal Uncle Omar

Deport. It’s my favorite verb (next to self-deport, of course).

So it’s a fine thing to hear a major Presidential candidate say that a public lawbreaker with powerful connections should be sent home. That’s what happened on a Wednesday radio interview in Boston with Mitt Romney. The former Governor opined that Obama’s illegal alien drunk-driving uncle [...]

North Carolina Considers Increased Immigration Enforcement

It’s reassuring that the heavy hand of the federal government against state immigration enforcement has not scared off everyone. North Carolina is moving in that direction, while being aware of the inevitable punishment down the road, as long as Obama is in charge with Eric Holder as his muscle.

Some NC counties were early adopters of [...]

Rep. Rob Bishop's Legislation Seeks to Free Border Patrol on Public Lands

America’s public lands on or near the southern border have been given over to illegal aliens and Mexican organized crime because of invader-friendly environmental rules let the bad guys control large areas in Arizona.

Rep. Rob Bishop, a friend of both the parks and national security, wants to allow Border Patrol agents to act on public [...]

Self-Deportation Working in Alabama

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) is pleasantly plain-spoken on the subject of illegal aliens: he says he wants them to leave his state to open up jobs and improve services for the citizens.

The media is full of sob stories about lawbreakers leaving. But Rep. Brooks is not disappointed that illegals are packing up — that was the [...]

Rep. Duncan Hunter Supports Border Security then Amnesty

Note to self: move Rep. Duncan Hunter from good guy category (voting grade A-) to interior sh#t list, along with Sen John McCain and others who think border security is merely a precursor on the short road to inevitable Amnesty for millions of lawbreaking foreigners — based on Hunter’s recent Politico opinion piece extolling “comprehensive [...]

Alabama’s Immigration Enforcement Law Goes to Court

The Associated Press reports that Alabama’s tough enforcement law has gone before a federal judge, and along the way, explains perhaps inadvertently the reasons for alarm on the part of Alabamans.

One example is an estimated 120,000 illegal aliens residing in the state, which is quite a large number given that the influx has been rapid [...]

Record Year So Far for State Immigration Legislation

Washington remains worse than useless on immigration enforcement, but fortunately the states have moved to pick up the slack, as indicated by a report showing that the number of state bills is increasing, and some are even signed into law.

Given federal fecklessness and state leadership, Rep. Lamar Smith’s proposal for national e-verify that would eliminate [...]

Virgil Goode: Flawed E-verify Undermines State Enforcement

Add Virgil Goode, the former Congressman from Virginia, to the growing group of American sovereignty supporters who fear Lamar Smith’s e-verify bill will sabotage states trying to enforce immigration law.

As we have seen, some states, like Arizona and Alabama, are willing to do the work the feds just won’t do, that of policing the borders [...]

Denmark Reintroduces Border Control against Schengen Agreement

Europe has been a leader in implementing bad ideas, and for that we can thank them for illustrating bad examples. Europe’s welcome of tens of millions of Muslim immigrants has shown everyone who can see that not all cultures are willing to assimilate to Western values, particularly when they are historic enemies.

We also saw how [...]

Kobach Doubts Good Intentions from Chamber of Commerce

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (and author of numerous immigration enforcement laws) discussed the two pieces of E-verify legislation in Washington, the Smith bill versus the Grassley Senate version. (E-verify is the federal program by which businesses can quickly check online whether a prospective employee is a legal worker.) The talk was held at [...]
