North African Illegal Aliens Riot on Lampedusa

Lampedusa, the southernmost island outpost of Italy has been overwhelmed for months by thousands of North Africans, who are mostly young males who don’t want to fight for freedom in the celebrated Arab Spring. They are using the chaos to pose as refugees in order to enter Europe and avail themselves of its wealth and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 Allows Mexican Police to Launch Operations from US

This item is definitely for the “What could possibly go wrong?” file. The idea is crazy and dangerous.

First, it is suspicious that this news was released on a Friday in late August, which makes it look like the Obama administration hopes it will pass unnoticed.

The White House spin is that the extreme violation of sovereignty [...]

Rasmussen Poll: Voters Prefer Border Enforcement to Amnesty by Two to One

President Obama’s recent administrative amnesty runs contrary to the public will (not to mention the Constitutional limits to Presidential power) as shown by recent polling.

Despite the media’s relentless propaganda about the bogus desirability of illegals, e.g. young aliens in student costumes demanding taxpayer-subsidized college educations, the voting public remains firm in favoring enforcement over rewards [...]

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 Opens Secret Mission Up to Hollywood

The Obama administration has a way of playing fast and loose with national security — like maintaining open borders in a dangerous world.

Another example has been the operation that killed Osama bin Laden in a Pakistani suburb. Way too much has already been revealed to the public concerning tactics, weapons and military units. Joe Biden [...]

Mark Steyn Interview: Diversity, Conformity and the Future

Mark Steyn has a new book about to be published, “After America”, and he was interviewed by Canadian TV host and free-speech defender Ezra Levant to discuss the book and the state of things generally.

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 [...]

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 [...]
