Stealthy Piecemeal Amnesty Is Outed

The Obama administration has been getting creative to finagle a way to reward illegal aliens and thereby suck up to Hispanics with a scary-to-Dems election looming. (Party elites believe that Hispanics universally want amnesty for illegal aliens, which is not entirely true.)

Suing Arizona was one strategy, to punish the citizens who are trying to enforce [...]

Mariel Diversity Celebrated

In case you didn’t know, 2010 is the 30-year anniversary of the Mariel Boatlift, the massive exodus of Cubans to south Florida with the blessing of both Fidel Castro and President Jimmy Carter. Jimmy may have thought it would be a generous act to welcome an unlimited number of unhappy Cubans, plus it would have [...]

Meg Whitman's Political Suicide by Hispandering

California RINO gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has blundered into the hazardous firing range of Los Angeles radio guys John and Ken for her rapid switch from “tough as nails” immigration enforcer in the primary to hispandering liar now in the general election. They are not happy that the E-bay billionaire is “talking out of both [...]

Alien Exporters Join to Annoy Arizona

When Mexico’s irritating Presidente Calderon was made to feel comfortable during his May visit by Obama about bashing Arizona, he responded by laying it on thick. He addressed Congress and proceeded to accuse the state, an important part of America, of racial profiling. Furthermore, the Democrat half of Congress stood and cheered the foreign leader [...]

Arizona Republican Senate Debate: the Tucson Go-Round

C-SPAN broadcast the second (and last) Arizona Republican primary debate, where Senator John McCain, JD Hayworth and businessman John Deakin tore into the issues of the day.

Interestingly, John McCain used the forum to clarify his nuanced definition of “amnesty” for illegal aliens. The Senator had recently declared, “No amnesty. Many of them need to be [...]

Rasmussen Poll: Majority Say Political Class Ignores Voter Opinion

The Rasmussen quiz-masters tend to ask more interesting questions than some polling organizations, and today’s item is enormously fascinating: a great majority of voters believe the country’s rulers don’t give a rat’s ass about the opinions of the electorate.

And — no surprise — one of the most indicative issues in this regard is immigration.

68% Say [...]

California: Whitman Goofs on Immigration

In California, E-bay billionaire Meg Whitman is running for governor as a Republican, and spent more than $70 million of her own money to win the primary. In that primary, Steve Poizner increased his poll numbers by campaigning against illegal immigration and its huge cost to the state, and Whitman responded by claiming she was [...]

Nevada's Senator Reid Snubs Jobless Citizens

Senator Reid may think that he can squish his Tea Party opponent flat as a tortilla, but remarks like this on local Nevada media won’t win him any votes.

Reid Declines Vote on Illegal Worker Plan, 8 News Now, Las Vegas, July 13, 2010

LAS VEGAS — In this election season, Senator Harry Reid’s campaign events often [...]

Obama's Adoring Coalition Melting Away

Aren’t Chicago pols supposed to be slick wheeler-dealers, who can trade seats and manipulate the electorate with great expertise? Obie must not be quite the smooth operator we were led to believe, judging from his klutzy handling of tough political sledding of late.

Interestingly, the public’s image of the ideal Obama, carefully crafted during the campaign [...]

Obama's Arizona Lawsuit Not Popular among Democrat Governors

I’ve long enjoyed the twice-yearly meetings of the National Governors Association, which are shown on C-SPAN. The 50 members get together to share ideas and consider important topics like education and healthcare. The ambiance is normally one of adult problem solving, where the party differences are less important than exploring policies that work in the [...]

Democrats Plan Post-Election Surprises for Voters

There has been concerned discussions going around about how Obama and his Congressional henchpersons might use the post-election lame-duck session to push through various unpopular items of legislation, in particular an amnesty for millions.

Today’s Wall Street Journal noted the interest of powerful Democrats to jam through legislation they regard as vital to their agenda such [...]

Georgia Voters Can Choose a Strong Sovereignty Defender for Governor

In his House career starting in 1993, Nathan Deal worked against birthright citizenship and was a leader on issues like requiring English-only government services and excluding illegal aliens from Obamacare.

He supports Arizona’s tough enforcement approach. His career voting grade on immigration from NumbersUSA is A+.

In March of this year he quit the House to run [...]
