Drudge has a news item up where a judge threatened a woman with deportation as she was attempting to get a restraining order against her abusive husband. Now I am not going to paint anyone with a broad brush here, so no one should run off thinking I am talking about them. But this incident […]

Sen Jeff Sessions tried to sneak the border-only solution through the Senate by funding only the southern border fence in an amendment to a Bill dealing with Homeland Defense (separate from the Senate Comprehensive Immigration bill). Sessions should have spent time fixing the nutty things in the Senate’s Comprehensive bill instead of pulling a political […]

Updates Below The Fold One thing I think unites Americans is that immigrants are a general positive and help us in amazing, and sometimes humbling, ways. I remember to this day being surprised that immigrants could fight in our military. For some dumb reason it never occurred to me that the military only cared about […]

I am seeing a lot of sightings of a supposed Bush shift on the immigration issue which seems to mirages (in my humble opinon). The first sighting of this phantom shift came from a link on Drudge: President George W. Bush is adopting a tougher line in the contentious debate on overhauling US immigration laws, […]

The results of the Utah-3 primary cannot be dismissed by the hard line immigration folks on the far right. The Utah-3 district is a highly conservative district which reflects the best the ‘punish the immigrant worker’ side could hope for. If the Tancredo diatribes were so popular in conservative circles, and if the issue was […]

While the democrats want to cut and run from Iraq, Republicans cut and run from our border security and left us open to terrorist attack by a stubborn fear of immigrants possibly becoming US citizens in 10-15 years (the so called ‘amnesty’ which only someone with severe obsession would confuse with the liberal goal of […]

My worst fears came true with new details just out regarding the terrorist plot in Miami which was thwarted today: The alleged terrorists five U.S. citizens, a legal immigrant from Haiti and a Haitian national who was in this country illegally were expected to appear in federal court in Miami later Friday. This is why […]

I posted earlier on the disaster laid upon this country by the GOP Congress by leaving this country’s borders unprotected, the 12 million immigrant workers here undocumented and vetted, and therefore the country exposed to terrorists infiltrating us with hopes of killing us. Results matter – no amount of excuses matter. And the fear of […]
