Here is the classic example of an illegal alien criminal, one who came here legally and then stayed on past his allotted time. This is the kind of illegal alien which the fence/wall cannot stop. They walk right through it as if it were never there! And this is the kind of person we need […]

Thomas Sowell comes out with a ridiculous ‘holier than thou’ canard about how illegal immigration is a path to hard crimes. It is another one of those hyperventilating exaggerations the far right is so fond of trotting out on the immigration issue. Basically he says if you break the law to get here you will […]

I had to run a quick errand and decided to do a check in Rush today. I have been off talk radio for a while (and man, is it nice). Anyway, Rush was trying to pin the blame for the stalled immigration bill on Harry Reid and divert accusations that the loss of the bill […]

Bill O’Reilly once claimed sending the National Guard to our border would help stem the tide of illegals. Others have claimed strengthening the border is all we need to do to fix our problems. I guess this story pretty much destroys those naive fantasies: Three National Guardsmen assigned to help authorities stop illegal immigration along […]

Seems the ground swell of opposition to the immigration bill might be receding, if Florida is any indication: More than half of those polled – 58 percent – didn’t believe illegal immigrants take jobs away from citizens but rather do work no one else wants to do. … The poll found strong support for elements […]

Well, it seems we will have another chance to test the true nature of the far right and its respect for diversity of views and living under a democracy. ABC World News said Bush “will be greeted by a host of political problems” on his return — among them the President’s effort to “win over […]

I disagree with Dem Governor Janet Napolitano on many issues. But on immigration she (and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sen McCain and Sen Kyle) and I agree: On the subject of immigration, my plea to Congress is loud and clear: You can’t quit now. Last week the Senate was on the verge of addressing our broken […]

I guess I have the sad duty of demonstrating to the country what the GOP did for us when they killed of a bill that had holes, imperfections – but a lot of good ideas and needed changes. All legislation is made up of the good and the bad. If you focus only on the […]

With the immigration hypochondriacs spew how un-American it is to provide a path to legal status here for illegal workers, by paying fines and back taxes and staying away from crime, they have sent a signal to the Hispanic population – both immigrant and recent citizens. A signal that is unmistakable because the rhetoric from […]

The far fight, the immigration hypochondriacs as I like to call them, are working themselves to the margins. Especially when they complain about name calling, at which point I cannot help but think of these people – who call their conservative opposition ‘traitors’ and claim they the only “Real American” position – the whiny immigration […]
