The Obama regime is reviewing ways to do an end run around congress by changing a few definitions in immigration policy. The change in interpretation and application could amount to an amnesty which would never pass the congress. Read today’s Washington Examiner.

Most illegal aliens were lured here by the wink and nod open borders policy, and are people we would welcome here if the government got its act together. There is an element, which takes advantage of lack of law enforcement that we do not need here. That is one reason why we have to get [...]

The Clinton appointed judge did not rule on the provisions, but gave an injunction which suspended the controversial provisions of the law while hearings take place. An appeal of the injunction is also likely. A preliminary injunction is given, as I understand it, when there is a substantial likelihood of the petitioner prevailing and you [...]

Goodbye Delaware Driver’s License, hello National ID Card? If a small group of Delaware legislators get their way, that’s exactly what will be happening in Delaware soon. Senator Bushweller (Democrat-Dover), has introduced Senate Bill 74 in the Senate (http://legis.delaware.gov/LIS/lis145.nsf/4bda103fb759b88c852574480048a7ee/5e11d5c20173ad3385257583007a01a6?OpenDocument). The main sponsor in the House of Representatives is Representative Mitchell (Democrat-Wilmington). The bill was just [...]

The Illegal Immigration Battle has been going of and on since the second term of the Bush Administration. So far Delaware has not figured very prominently in the national debate, but now the state of is officially joining the fray. For months the different viewpoints on illegal immigration have been preparing and fortifying their positions. [...]

This is really getting inane. A Massachusetts legislator was rear-ended by a drunk driving illegal immigrant that obviously didn’t have a valid driver’s license. Rep. Moran says that the illegal alien was just as hurt and afraid as anyone else would have been immediately after the crash, but when the police arrived and started to tell [...]

Governor Jan Brewer calls it frustrating that no one in the administration has responded to her pleas for help. They need to do their job, she stated. They are too busy talking about it to help. They have done zero, zip, nothing. We have a right to feel secure in Arizona. A nation without borders [...]

The federal government has long dropped the ball on its Constitutional responsibility to provide a uniform system of naturalization. It was too occupied providing some but not all of the benefits of being an American to those who were here illegally. All that extra work prevented them from maintaining and enforcing a uniform system of [...]

San Francisco is getting interesting. They want to allow non-citizens to vote in what we call school board elections (board of education).

Maybe Ms. Oklahoma should forget about the beauty pageant thing and just take Secretary of Homeland Security. I think I would feel safer.

Serial human rights abuser, the People’s Republic of China received a boost from the regime in Washington by admitting that America has human rights problems too. The new Arizona law was cited as the example. Too bad no one over in State involved with this seems to have read the law. That’s okay, justice, the [...]

I know it seems like I pick on Attorney General Eric Holder, but he deserves it. He blasted Arizonia’s immigration law, but didn’t read it. It is 16 pages with footnotes. We posted the law here. It seems like few of the critics have actually read the law. The AG admits that he not only [...]

Imagine the response if Arizona passed a law which mirrored Mexico’s general law on population. The Washington Times did a comparison of the two. Mexican President Felipe Calderon denounced as “racial discrimination” an Arizona law giving state and local police the authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants and vowed to use all means at his disposal [...]

There is a cry for comprehensive immigration reform. I could go along if it were comprehensive. First, we need to ramp up securing the borders. Physical security needs to happen right away. Second, we need more federal and state partnership with employer enforcement and law enforcement. When an illegal is picked up for a crime [...]

With the passage of the law in Arizona, giving police officers the authority to question and verify the legal status of people that they suspect of being illegal aliens, there has been a lot of talk about racism. The critics of the law say that it gives officers the power to racially profile Hispanics. The [...]

Republicans are very much against illegal immigration and support tough enforcement, but they are more welcoming of legal immigration than Democrats or Independents according to a new Rasmussen Poll. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 58% favor a policy that would welcome all immigrants except “national security threats, criminals and those who [...]

Updated Read the law. Arizona has a new law which has been condemned as irresponsible by the White House, condemned unanimously by the Mexican senate, blasted as racial profiling, and supported by 70% of Arizonians polled. I have a modest proposal just pass a mirror law. We treat illegal immigrants by the same rules that the host [...]

Scary Chucky Schumer-D NY is trying to sucker a second Republican into co-sponsor his immigration bill. So far no takers. From the Washington Times: Most Republicans considered likeliest to join Sens. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, and Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, in writing a bill either have taken a pass or are still [...]

The border watchdog group is dissolving. Volunteers are burning out and new ones are a little more unruly. The strategy has played its course. The recent murder of a friendly rancher and his dog by an alleged illegal who is now a fugitive hiding back in Mexico called for a reassessment. The Minuteman Civil Defense [...]

The virtual fence just is not up to the real thing. The Washington Times caught this nugget. Signaling a major shift from her predecessor, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Tuesday said she will spend $50 million of stimulus funds originally intended to build a “virtual fence” along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border on other more [...]

For a nation, to gain independence is a process. For America, the beginning of that process was signified by the Declaration of Independence on July 4th 1776. Yet, Frederick Douglass reminded America that its independence was not yet complete on July 4th 1854, when he was asked to speak at the commemoration of the Declaration [...]
