Senator Pearce: the States Are Partners in Immigration Law Enforcement

Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce is a leader in the movement for the states to do more of the immigration enforcement, since the federal government has shown little enthusiasm for the heavy lifting.

One Repatriation Revealed

On Sunday, the San Francisco Chronicle presented a photo essay about Guatemalans being deported home from Mesa, Arizona.

Doubts Take Hold concerning the Smith E-verify Bill

Like many who care deeply about America’s borders and sovereignty, I had great hopes for a universal e-verify bill from the Republican House and was happy to hear that Rep. Lamar Smith had authored one.

But now the concerns are mounting that the legislation is fatally flawed and will do more harm than good. It should [...]

Alabama State Immigration Law Faces Scrutiny from Usual Suspects

More good news on the state enforcement front: Alabama Governor Robert Bentley has signed his legislature’s tough bill into law. It’s heartening that state elected officials are still moving forward, despite the barrage of criticism and lawsuits they know they will face.

Georgia Signs Immigration Enforcement Bill into Law

Congrats to Georgia for supporting American sovereignty in the face of a clueless Washington and the open-borders media complex.

Unlike many New Years list-makers, Rep Lamar Smith has put his down in writing for the public. And Smith’s position as the new Chair of the House Judiciary Committee means his list is an important indication of the direction the House will take in many important issues.

He emphasized the importance of immigration enforcement in the [...]

A Tale of Two Governors

We all know that elections can have big consequences, such as the most pro-immigration-enforcement Congress in years (in the opinion of Roy Beck) being voted into power. Surely millions of patriotic Americans were thrilled to see the end of Nancy Pelosi’s pro-amnesty House of Representatives on January 5. Sweet.

On the state level, there is both [...]
