In a 5-4 decision, a divided U.S. Supreme Court ruled that foreigners who are in America illegally can be prosecuted for the crime of identity theft. While the ruling seems like a no brainer, the court was divided because the case involved the Immigration Control and Reform Act, which says any information provided on an I-9 work form can’t be used by law enforcement in any way — and that includes as evidence in a criminal case. “The Immigration Control and Reform Act (IRCA) makes it a federal crime to lie on the I-9 work authorization form, while limiting how...

Liberals opening our doors to criminals are “chumming” for votes while taking all innocent citizens down the toilet with them. One thing I cannot understand is why Liberals seem to want sex offenders, criminal gangs, drug dealers, murderers, criminal illegal aliens, rapists and thieves and so on. Why do they want them around and even protect them if they can? But while President Trump is draining the swamp innocent people are losing their lives because of these so-called sanctuary states and their liberal policies. An illegal alien in Maryland killed two law enforcement officers on the road He was given...

Someone just made it cheaper, easier and more lucrative to be an illegal alien in Louisville, Kentucky, and likely areas beyond. Here's the WKYT report: U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents from the Chicago Field Office intercepted a parcel in Louisville that contained hundreds of fake driver’s licenses. A tweet by the CPB Chicago states the fraudulent ID’s were found at the Louisville mail facility. In all, the package contained 238 fake driver’s licenses and 536 black card stocks. The documents were turned over to CBP Fraudulent Document Analysis for further investigation. No information on potential suspects has been released.

Who are they REALLY protecting here, law-abiding citizens, or those who would prey upon them? There is a reason the right needs to start talking about the bogus compassion of the Left on immigration issues. They deliberately misrepresent and distort one issue ‘separating children’ to drive a narrative, which could be resolved in a heartbeat by lawmakers disincentivizing illegal crossings. But rather than solve that issue, they are endangering untold numbers of law-abiding Americans, exposing them (due to ‘Sanctuary City’ policy) to the threats from the worst sort of criminals. Case in point, rather than executing the ICE detainer, these...

Houston County Coroner Danny Galpin identified the men as: Yanny Perez-Perez Adar Lopez-Morales Evelio Perez Galpin says 20-year-old Yanny was the only casualty with a verifiable age.

Sweden: Muslim migrants violently rape girl, ask why she didn’t run away down fire escape if she didn’t want it JUL 24, 2019 12:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER This is in line with the assumption in Islamic law that it is the woman’s sole and whole responsibility to prevent rape by veiling herself. If she is raped, it is her fault for not doing all she could have and should have done to keep the attacker from being tempted. “Ali’s questioning: Why didn’t the girl escape down the fire escape if she didn’t want to be raped by us?” translated...

I thought it was satire, something cooked up by his political enemies. You couldn't put out a less attractive video than the one Gavin Newsom did for illegal aliens on Twitter, advising them himself on how to obstruct ICE from any deportation maneuvers.  And sure enough, he wasn't hacked — it really was blue-checked he. Leave aside the fact that he's the governor of a U.S. state, supposedly there to represent the interests of that state's citizens rather than those of the foreigners who come here without papers, quite illegally, and run up the tab using his state's services.  They're his constituents, too, now, in fact,...

The drug trafficking business between Mexico to the US is so lucrative it makes more money than Walmart makes in a year, according to Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) during a Senate hearing on Tuesday.“Five hundred billion dollars…that makes the cartel business and the and the drug traffic just in Mexico coming across to the United States bigger than Walmart, so this is larger than our largest companies,” Perdue stated.

by Brian Hayes The sanctuary city of Prince George’s County, Maryland is defending itself after releasing two illegal alien MS-13 Gang members who went on to allegedly murder a 14-year-old girl. And the key official involved is actually justifying it! During a press conference on Wednesday, the Prince George’s County jail director told local media that the sanctuary jurisdiction does not honor detainers by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to hold criminal illegal aliens in custody so they can be deported.

Some of the migrant families arrested at the southern border weren't actually families. In a pilot program, approximately 30% of rapid DNA tests of immigrant adults who were suspected of arriving at the southern border with children who weren't theirs revealed the adults were not related to the children, an official involved in the system's temporary rollout who asked to be anonymous in order to speak freely told the Washington Examiner Friday. "There’s been some concern about, 'Are they stepfathers or adopted fathers?'" the official said. "Those were not the case. In these cases, they are misrepresented as family members."...
