Rep. Elton Gallegly has been named as the Chair of the Immigration and Enforcement Subcommittee, rather than Steve King, as had been widely assumed.
I’m not completely sure what to think of this choice by Lamar Smith, the new Chair of the full Judiciary Committee. Was Gallegly chosen because King may have been seen as more [...]
On Wednesday the National Press Club was the site of a meeting aimed at dislodging the mistaken interpretation of the 14th Amendment that the children of illegal aliens born in the United States are US citizens. Members and supporters of State Legislators for Legal Immigration appeared to raise the issue, which is a major magnet [...]
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 [...]
Rep Lamar Smith (R-TX) appeared on Fox News on Tuesday night to discuss a preview of what he plans to do as Chair of the Judiciary Committee regarding immigration.
He proceeded directly to the topic of liberating jobs from illegal aliens to open them up for citizens: “We have 7 million people in the country who [...]
Mark Krikorian posted an article illustrating the efficacy of attrition as an enforcement strategy, where negative reinforcement prods border violators to get home the same way they got here — on their own dime.
I’m not one who thinks the taxpayer should be dinged to give lawbreakers a free ride home. “Deport them all” is not [...]
It’s no secret worldwide that the United States is suffering a terrible recession illustrated by the worst level of joblessness since the 1930s. Fifteen million is the official unemployment number, but many additional American citizens are working part-time or have given up looking.
Nevertheless, illegal aliens from Ireland continue to arrive to steal American jobs, like [...]
Blogger Mickey Kaus checks out what the open-borders gang is thinking about their recent wipe-out. The DREAM Act was supposed to be an easy win, and was left until the Lame Duck when the Democrats’ remaining shards of power remained. The Great Obama had promised to amnesty millions of hopeful illegal foreigners in his first [...]
The family of murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry agrees with the majority of Americans that the border is dangerously insecure, despite the bleatings of the administration. Agent Terry was killed in an Arizona gun battle with Mexican bandits earlier this month.
Terry’s funeral was held on Wednesday, and his family gathered to say good-bye and [...]
A giant sigh of relief was heard across the nation when the ghastly DREAM Act stealth amnesty for millions was defeated in the Senate. Another bullet aimed at America’s sovereignty and culture was dodged, due to the efforts of patriotic citizens.
In California, however, the entirely Democrat-run state government of 2011 is going full-steam ahead to [...]
For years, the Raza open-borders gang has insisted on “comprehensive immigration reform” where all aspects would be jammed into one enormous bill that would have a mountain of amnesty and lots of loopholes in any attempted enforcement.
After being thwarted for a decade by patriotic citizens organized by NumbersUSA and others, Razans hoped the Lame Duck [...]
It’s easy to forget when you live in Mexifornia that some places in America still care about public safety more than servicing illegal aliens.
A recent report from Charleston County South Carolina is a helpful reminder that common sense immigration enforcement policies can significantly decrease the number of dangerous people present in a community. Police there [...]
Never forget there are plenty of open-borders Republicans out there, and the more power the GOP gets, the more they come out of the woodwork in a loudmouth fashion. Hispandering is Job #1 to some top Repubs, including biggies like Jeb Bush and Newt Gingrich. Apparently the newly popular Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey [...]
