Donald Trump’s unorthodox campaign has performed a public service by shining the national spotlight on the problem of “sanctuary cities” which shelter illegal aliens from deportation. The tragedy of Kate Steinle, who died in the arms of her father after being shot by an illegal alien, is that her death was preventable, yet officials have defiantly defended their sanctuary policies.

We’ve just seen how the massacre of nine people at Bible study inside a Charleston, S.C. church — apparently committed by a drug-using loser-drifter who dropped out of school after the ninth grade — is being used to bring down the Confederate flag all over the South.

In his seventh year of “fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” as Barack Obama memorably promised five days before he was elected president, we’re learning new details about thousands of immigrants who were released from custody after being convicted of serious, violent felonies and horrific sex crimes.
Continue reading →On Friday, Congress disrupted President Obama’s plan for a sweeping transfer of U.S. sovereignty to an unaccountable group of foreign busybodies. Hurray for the stalwart Americans who resisted the demands of Obama, the Republican leadership, and the big-donor claque, but Speaker Boehner plans to give Congress another chance this week to make this dangerous mistake.

It’s aptly titled; she makes the case that it is Goodbye to the America we know and love if we don’t stop diluting our population with people who don’t love America, don’t respect our Constitution and laws, don’t even speak our language, and commit all sorts of unspeakable crimes

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 added up by our country’s foremost authority on such things, Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation.
Continue reading →The 2016 presidential campaign is in full swing, but candidates have already demonstrated they are “not ready for prime time” to answer questions from the voters and the press. The leading Republican candidate, Jeb Bush, stumbled all over himself with conflicting answers to a question about whether we should have gone to war in Iraq, while the leading Democrat, Hillary Clinton, continues to ignore fair questions about her missing emails, her foundation’s foreign fundraising, and her checkered career in and out of government.

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?
Continue reading →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 →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.
Continue reading →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).

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.
