Amnesty Politics Burble Up in Chicago Mayor’s Campaign

When Rahm Emanuel worked as Chief of Staff for President Obama, he was known to have advised against the administration pursuing a comprehensive amnesty as a bad move during a time of extreme unemployment.

Now Emanuel is campaigning to be mayor of Chicago, and his Democrat opponents are remembering and accusing him of insufficient ethnic pandering. [...]

Lamar Smith’s List for the Judiciary Committee

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 [...]

Rep. Gallegly to Lead House Immigration Panel

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 [...]

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 [...]

Lamar Smith Plans Workplace Enforcement

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 [...]

Diversity Journo-Hucksters Promote Censorship

It’s not exactly news that open-borders enthusiasts employed in the media strive daily to blur the line between immigrants and illegal aliens, often by leaving out the “illegal” adjective till late in the story if it is mentioned at all. Sometimes I fantasize about printing out a few thousand copies of the word “illegal” and [...]

Open-Borders Republican and Liberal Professor Say Amnesty Is Assimilation

Last July, the “odd couple” duo of Harvard sociologist Robert Putnam and retired Florida Governor Jeb Bush co-wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post, condemning Americans for a lack of generosity toward immigrants and aliens (see my blog, An Independence Day Complaint-Fest from Elite Cosmopolitans). Now they are back with the message that mass [...]

Excessive Immigration and Illegal Entry Vex Governments around the World

It’s always interesting to see the big picture of legal and illegal immigration around the planet, away from America’s ongoing crisis of sovereignty. There’s plenty to observe in Europe’s experience with Muslim immigration, for example, that the chasm of cultures is too wide to overcome, not to mention the security threat of a historically hostile [...]

DREAM Recipients: How Many Millions Will Try to Pass for Under 30?

Remember this guy? He was the 25-year-old Honduran crack dealer Jose Mendoza Cerrato who successfully masqueraded as a juvenile in permissive San Francisco using fake identification that portrayed him as being 17. So instead of being tried, imprisoned and later deported as an adult felon, he was sent at taxpayer expense ($7K/month) to a comfy [...]

House Approves DREAM Amnesty

Sadly, the House vote on the execrable DREAM Act stealth amnesty wasn’t even close: 216 — 198 (see the House Clerk’s count for details). It wasn’t a pretty picture. The Lame Duck Democrat Congress cannot end soon enough.

Mark Twain said, “No man’s life, liberty, or property are safe while the congress is in session” and [...]

Houston Presents Mariachi Diversity Opera

It used to be the case that an evening at the symphony or opera was a welcome respite from the daily onslaught of diversity propaganda. Sadly, the oasis of Western culture that classical music affords is slipping away also.

One example is the San Francisco Symphony’s yearly celebration of Mexican culture, including mariachi music and Day [...]

Arizona’s 2007 Employment Law Goes to Supreme Court

The Obama administration’s hypocrisy regarding workplace enforcement is nicely laid out in an article by la Times’ legal analyst David Savage. Candidate Obama favored a crackdown on employers of illegals (since employers are a favorite target for the left), but President Obama has fought any sort of workplace enforcement, particularly when the states take charge.

The [...]
