Republicans Debate Immigration in Orlando

It was certainly a pleasure to see a substantial chunk of the Fox News Republican debate devoted to immigration — a far cry from the 2008 election in which the subject was barely mentioned.

The use of interactive technology, including Youtube questions asked by average citizens, livened up the debate format and brought subjects of genuine [...]

Tea Party Republican Debate Touches Immigration

Do these candidate creatures ever think about what they are saying? Even self-identified conservatives prattle on with the most ridiculous jabber about the revered institution of immigration: Rick Santorum says that immigration is the “lifeblood of this country” like the American nation is a junkie in need of a diversity fix.

He went on to recite [...]

Rep. Steve King: Congress Should Investigate Obama Amnesty (and Subpoena Drunken Uncle Omar)

Most Washington Republicans have been curiously silent about immigration enforcement since returning from their August recess, during which the President enacted his executive amnesty.

Not so with dependable sovereignty defender, Rep. Steve King (R-IA). He wants a Congressional hearing to question Obama’s drunk-driving illegal alien Uncle Omar. Rep. King also thinks the House must oppose the [...]

Rick Perry’s Achilles Heel Is Immigration Enforcement

Byron York is one of the more insightful scribblers in the beltway orbit, and he recently commented on Rick Perry’s terrible record on immigration enforcement (below).

Note to Tea Party patriots: Perry looks good when he is shooting up targets at the range, but he is way too friendly with Mexican interests. He is all sombrero [...]

Will Republicans Compete on Enforcement Toughness?

Is American sovereignty finally appearing as an important topic in the Presidential campaign?

Law and borders have been given short shrift in earlier Presidential elections because both parties have constituencies that favor permissive immigration enforcement: Republican elites like cheap labor and Democrat honchos believe that importing millions of big-government foreigners will bring a permanent liberal majority.

But [...]

Obama's Re-election Strategy: Does It Depend on Illegal Alien Voter Fraud?

It didn’t take long for Obama’s executive amnesty for illegal aliens to be followed by a major opinion piece in the New York Times complaining about voters being required to show identification at the polling place. How convenient for illegal aliens who want to vote to Obama!

Timed to coincide with the dedication of the made-in-Red-China [...]

Republicans: Just Say NO to Totalitarian Islamic Sharia

It should be easy for Republican Presidential candidates to declare their total loyalty to the Constitution, period. After all, the oath of office requires they swear to defend it:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, [...]

Republican Presidential Debate: Illegal Immigration Is Discussed

It’s too bad the Fox team devising the questions for the candidates in Thursday’s debate chose to focus on illegal immigration only. After all, Washington continues to import 125,000 LEGAL immigrant workers per month when over 14 million citizens are jobless.

Nevertheless, the subject of illegal immigration was explored, which is more than you can [...]

Texas Governor Perry Favors Open Borders

As far as borders and sovereignty go, Texas Governor Rick Perry is all hat and no cattle. In fact, it would be more accurate to say he is all sombrero and no cattle. His campaign style is attractive to those who admire a certain swagger, but his beliefs run counter to what most American citizens [...]

Obama Speech Is Cheered at La Raza Convention

The nation’s budget is circling the drain, but the President took time off from his busy leadership activities to make a re-election pitch to the annual convention of the National Council of La Raza (“the Race” in English).

As usual, Obama “blamed Republicans” for his inability to enact a massive amnesty. He obviously hoped his [...]

Socal Supe Suggests State Split

California’s raging dysfunction regarding its perennially overspent budget and permissive treatment of illegal aliens has prompted a Riverside County Supervisor to call for a division of the state.

The idea is not a new one; many see the state as increasingly ungovernable due to extreme diversity of political views, a history of bad governance choices and [...]

Kris Kobach Analyzes Recent Proposed Legislation in Washington

Lou Dobbs interviewed Kris Kobach recently (6/28) for analysis of the reanimation of the too-evil-to-die DREAM Act by the Senate Democrats. The amnesty fanatics have to keep going through the motions for political reasons to keep certain parties happy, he says, even though the DREAMers are going nowhere this year.

Kobach also detailed his concerns with [...]
