Tight budgets at the Department of Defense in recent years have led to a shrinking force and fewer opportunities for Americans to serve. So why are some in Congress using a must-pass bill to enlist illegal aliens?

The argument that immigrants do jobs that Americans won’t do is as phony as a three-dollar bill. As Thomas Sowell pointed out, “Virtually every kind of ‘work that Americans will not do’ is in fact work that Americans have done for generations,” and “most of the people doing that work today are Americans.”

The lawsuit filed by 26 states against President Obama’s executive amnesty is now working its way through the federal court system. A judge in Texas has already blocked the amnesty’s implementation while he considers the case.

The Obama Democrats have an audacious scheme for winning future elections. They plan to import 5,000,000 non-citizens and credential them as voters who will, in gratitude, vote Democratic. The way this devious formula works is stunningly simple. Just continue full-funding for Homeland Security without any exception for Obama’s illegal executive amnesty. That will allow Obama to give work permits, Social Security numbers, and driver’s licenses to five million illegal aliens.
Continue reading →Since the costs will come due only after Obama has left the White House, I guess he doesn’t care how high are those costs. But the costs are horrendous, as just added up by our country’s foremost authority on such things, Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation.
Continue reading →Republican Senate leadership is ready to throw in the towel on fighting President Obama’s executive amnesty. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants to yank the House-passed bill that defunds amnesty while fully funding the Department of Homeland Security and replace it with a “clean” bill that omits the defunding language.

We’ve had a lot of media comment about the bad effects of Obama’s executive orders admitting millions (yes, millions) of illegal immigrants and giving them welfare, Social Security, driver’s licenses, and a path to citizenship. Like many Americans,
Continue reading →Funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) runs out next Friday, February 27th. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is still trying to get Democrats to end their filibuster and vote to begin debate on the bill. As we explained here, the Senate has voted three times to proceed to the bill, but Democrats (and Senator Dean Heller (R-NV)) have blocked it.
Continue reading →No one in Congress better understands the challenges facing American workers than Senator Jeff Sessions. This Alabama senator knows that the debate over immigration comes down to three simple questions: Does America have a right to control its borders? Should our immigration laws serve the national interest? And, do Americans have the right to demand that our laws be enforced?
Continue reading →UPDATE: Today, Wednesday, February 4th, the Senate again voted on cloture on the motion to proceed to debate H.R. 240, the House-passed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). All Democrats and Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) once more defeated cloture by a vote of 53-47 (60 votes needed to proceed).
Continue reading →Republicans in 2014 won the biggest majority in Congress they’ve had since the 1930s, so the grassroots expect them to deliver the fruits of victory. The best guide for action is the “Immigration Handbook for the New Republican Majority” by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) issued a couple of weeks ago.
Continue reading →Earlier today, the U.S. Senate failed to proceed to debate on the House-passed Homeland Security appropriations bill that defunds President Obama’s amnesties. Senate Democrats and Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) decided that they would rather shut down the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) than have a debate on the president’s executive actions.
Continue reading →TODAY (Tuesday) at 2:30 p.m., the Senate will vote to begin debating a bill passed by the House of Representatives (H.R. 240) that funds the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) while defunding President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty and winding down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Continue reading →Next week, the Senate is expected to vote on funding the Department of Homeland Security. It will consider the bill passed by the House of Representatives that funds the department while defunding President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty and winding down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The Senate must follow the House’s lead.
Continue reading →Tomorrow morning, Wednesday, January 14th, the House of Representatives will take up H.R. 240, which would fund the Department of Homeland Security. As you remember, Republican leadership decided in December that a “CROmnibus” would be the most effective strategy in stopping President Obama’s unilateral, illegal action on immigration. While passing the majority of the funding for the government, they placed appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security into a short-term bill that expires in February in hopes of defunding the President’s amnesty with a Republican-controlled Congress.
Continue reading →Late Thursday night, the House of Representatives narrowly passed the “CRomnibus” – a $1.1 trillion appropriations package that funds President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty.
Continue reading →With current funding set to expire at midnight on Thursday, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-KY) strategically released the $1.1 trillion, 1,603 page “CRomnibus” spending bill late Tuesday evening so that Members of Congress would have to pass the bill to see what is in it.

Continue reading →H.R. 5759 by a vote of 219-197. This measure only serves as a symbolic attack on amnesty. Please keep the pressure on your Representatives and Senators!
Continue reading →President Obama is the most lawless president this country has ever seen, and we know he will continue to rule by executive fiat until Congress cuts off his funding. The government is currently operating under a Continuing Resolution that will expire next week on December 11th. The House of Representatives has a prime opportunity to re-establish the separation of powers by using their Constitutional power of the purse to block funding for President Obama’s illegal amnesty.
Continue reading →Barack Obama has announced the particulars of his executive amnesty for an estimated five million of the many more foreigners who broke our laws to get into the United States. This amnesty will, of course, become a magnet for more illegals to work the same racket, hoping for the same reward.
Continue reading →In a clear violation of the Constitution, immigration laws, and his own past statements, President Obama just declared a mass amnesty affecting up to five million illegal immigrants.
Continue reading →Americans against amnesty are not only worried about unemployed Mexicans crossing our southern border illegally to take U.S. jobs. More than ever, we need the fence that Congress voted for and President George W. Bush made a television photo event when he signed it into law.

Political junkies will remember how former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels was being groomed to run for president in 2012 before he made his foolish statement that the next president should “call a truce on the so-called social issues.” Americans do not want a leader who is unable or unwilling to articulate and lead on important social issues.
