Legal Immigration Declines under President Trump

Tuesday’s New York Times front page includes an article titled “Immigration By Legal Path Begins to Fall” showing how President Trump’s efforts to reduce the foreign influx into America has begun to turn the tide.

We know already that Trump’s Remain in Mexico deal has severely chilled the asylum fraud since fewer than one percent […]

California Students Win $53 Million in Lawsuit over Poor Reading Scores

Friday’s Los Angeles Times included a front-page article titled, “See Dick and Jane read poorly. See them win a lawsuit” that focused on the dysfunction of state schools that had worsened to the point that students had to sue the state to get attention. California did pony up $53 million which may help somewhat, but […]

Foreigner Invasion Is Felt in American Schools

In important ways, the focus on the open border as the story of illegal immigration is a major distraction. The foreigners pass through the American perimeter in a minute, but may stay for decades in towns and cities where their presence forces a rejiggering of budgets toward them and away from the needs of citizens.

What’s Happening in American Communities Where Illegal Alien Families Land?

There has been a surprising dearth of news stories about what happens to the local communities of America when crowds of unlawful foreigners arrive from crossing the open border and need social services.

In earlier mass intrusions, such as during Obama’s big welcome, there were news stories about the financial and other burdens on local […]

Border Patrol Projects Apprehension of a Million Illegal Aliens in 2019

The chaotic invasion now occurring on our southern border is disturbing to behold. It’s a reminder that some on the left hope to fundamentally change the culture of this nation using illegal immigration by urging Central Americans to leave home and claim asylum in the US.

Unlike illegal immigration in decades past when mostly […]

Immigrant Assimilation Is Now Verboten by the Left

Not that long ago, assimilation was expected of immigrants. It seemed a fair deal that when foreigners came here to live permanently, they should learn English, be loyal to America and adopt our values of liberty and equality.

But now, tribalism has risen to such a fever pitch among leftists that such basics are now […]

Plano Texas Allows Islam to Be Taught in Public Schools

Whatever happened to Plano? As a suburb of Dallas, it used to be dependably conservatively American: now the political leaders think it is fine for totalitarian Islam to be taught as a superior ideology to young minds. A recent dust up concerned city councilman Tom Harrison who called for a proper separation between church and […]

London Criminal Gangs Manage to Wreak Havoc with Knives

According to the anti-gun left, abolishing the Second Amendment and removing firearms from their law-abiding owners in the United States would end violence and universal peace would prevail.

Meanwhile in the UK, there is no right for a citizen to own a firearm. But that doesn’t stop the bad guys from committing murder and mayhem.

Puerto Ricans Relocating to Florida Bring Possible Electoral Consequences

Hurricane Maria was a monster Category 5 storm that struck the Caribbean in mid-September and pretty much flattened Puerto Rico’s infrastructure, which wasn’t in great shape before the storm. Restoring electricity has been painfully slow, because of the totality of devastation, plus other complications like the difficulty of shipping all necessary materials to an island, […]

Cheating, Racism and Anti-American Values: The New Road to Citizenship

A couple days ago, Tucker Carlson used the instance of how a non-English-speaking immigrant nevertheless was allowed to become an American citizen (Tucker Discusses the Worsening Failure of Language Assimilation in America with Steve Camarota). Tucker opened the segment by observing, “An immigrant woman in California was recently able to obtain American citizenship despite having, […]

Self-driving Cars Will Be Tested in Diverse New York City

General Motors announced that it would begin testing its self-driving cars in New York City next year which shows a high degree of confidence, given the level of density and human randomness.

Usually at this point I would point out the job loss that will result with all those automated autos which would naturally […]

Puerto Ricans Flee Hurricane-Ravaged Island to the United States

Who didn’t see this coming? Thousands of Puerto Ricans are escaping their island’s flattened infrastructure to get to a place where things work — because, as American citizens, they can.

Wednesday’s Los Angeles Times front-paged the story, under photos of the catastrophic California wildfires.

Who can blame them for skedaddling en masse when the […]
