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 [...]

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 [...]

DREAM Act Has a Big Pricetag

According to recent number crunching done by the Center for Immigration Studies, the much ballyhooed DREAM Act stealth amnesty will cost taxpayers billions of dollars rather than provide a benefit. What a surprise.

Estimating the Impact of the DREAM Act, CIS Memorandum, November

On average, each illegal immigrant who attends a public institution will receive a tuition [...]

State Immigration Enforcement Moving Along in Florida

Talk is cheap in politics, and numerous state legislators have expressed interest in creating an Arizona-style bill to better enforce immigration laws.

In Florida, however, the proposed legislation, namely SB-136, is in the hopper.

Note also how Governor-elect Rick Scott campaigned strongly on immigration enforcement. Funny how little details like that are often overlooked by the dinosaur [...]

DREAM Act Amnesty in Return for Military Service Is Unwise

Not all illegal aliens are gangsters, but some are, which makes the DREAM Act freebie for illegals who serve in the military a bad idea.

For illegal alien gangbangers, a DREAM Act amnesty via the military would be a twofer. First, they get legal residence, which means more ease of navigating American society, and eventual citizenship. [...]

California Looks to Initiative Process to Emulate Arizona’s Immigration Law

As I wrote recently, in California’s Sociopathic Specialness, the state made painfully stupid choices in the election by ignoring the common-sense message of the Tea Party and going even more Democrat than before. (More depressing news in that regard: Steve Cooley just conceded today to sanctuary city booster Kamala Harris in the state’s Attorney General [...]

Diversity Visas Hit a New High in Popularity

An honest environmentalist will tell you that the United States is overpopulated at 310 million, and any additional immigrants welcomed to this country is too many. ZERO is the number for which we should strive.

With the jobs depression showing no sign of abating at all, legal immigration should be severely reduced for the forseeable future. [...]

DREAM Act Still Not Dead

Is the DREAM Act stealth amnesty still on? The time is short in the Lame Duck session of Congress, but never trust the treacherous Raza Democrats and Republicans: they are keen to screw the American people with a big reward to lawbreaking foreigners and their supporters. Senator Harry Reid in particular is expected to use [...]

Russell Pearce: National Security Relies on Enforcing Immigration Laws

Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce recently received an award for courage from the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and he give a brief but powerful speech. In it, he particularly condemned President Obama for siding with a foreign government (Mexico) in a lawsuit against the citizens of this country (Arizona) for that state’s immigration enforcement law [...]

The Stealth Amnesty DREAM Act Reappears Yet Again

The Raza loyalists in the Congress trooped over to the White House on Tuesday to beg for favors based on the idea that hispanics are a vital voting bloc to the far left Obama constituency, particularly with 2012 looming closer. Obama made big promises about amnesty, and now the chits are being called in.

Naturally, it [...]

A New Amnesty Plan from Surprising Sources -- Richard Lamm and Lawrence Harrison

It’s disappointing to see two intelligent and influential immigration thinkers, whom I admire greatly, plop out a lipstick-on-a-pig amnesty scheme that ignores the rock bottom psychological fact: when you reward a behavior, you get more of it.

Any legalization giveaway, no matter how augmented with tough policing measures, would be headlined in every news outlet of [...]

Local Initiatives Push Non-Citizen Voting

Add non-citizen voting to the endless Gimme list of immigrants and illegal aliens. Some extra-welcoming cities are putting that idea on the Nov 2 ballot to accommodate foreigners who are still not happy with residing in America.

Gimme demanders could get naturalized if eligible. Oh wait, that costs money and requires effort.

In addition, non-citizen voting [...]
