Trump-hating rocker Bruce Springsteen is allowing the American Civil Liberties Union to use his iconic, if often misunderstood, America trashing Vietnam War anthem “Born in the USA” for the ACLU’s ad campaign promoting the leftist group’s birthright citizenship case set for an April 1 Supreme Court hearing challenging President Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order restricting who is eligible for birthright American citizenship. The use of Born in the USA as a patriotic song is a 180 degree reversal for Springsteen who has long downplayed the notion the song is patriotic. When Born in the USA was released in mid 1984...

Senator Chris Murphy: "The people we care about most, the undocumented migrants" He actually said that

Undocumented immigrants are increasingly forming Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) in Florida to create a legal mechanism for self-employment, allowing them to work and earn income while navigating stricter employment laws. Florida law allows anyone, regardless of citizenship status, to form an LLC, provided they have a registered agent and a physical address. Why Illegal Aliens are Forming LLCs in Florida: Work Authorization Loophole: Federal law prohibits employers from hiring undocumented individuals, but there is no specific law forbidding undocumented immigrants from creating their own company. Establishing an LLC allows individuals to operate as independent contractors. Response to E-Verify Laws: Following...

Silicon Valley was energized by legal immigrants from all over the world who founded eBay, Google, Nvidia, SpaceX, Stripe, Sun Microsystems, Tesla, Yahoo and a host of others. The Greek-American Elia Kazan’s 1963 film “America America” is based on the Herculean struggle of the director’s uncle to immigrate to the United States. It summed up Americans’ traditional view of immigrants: They had risked everything for the chance to reach America, and once there, became hyperpatriotic in their gratitude for the magnanimity of their new hosts. I grew up in rural California surrounded by hard-working immigrant farm families from Armenia, India,...

A deal with France to pay for migrant beach patrols has been delayed because Shabana Mahmood wants stricter, payment-by-results terms, The Times has been told. The Home Office said it was trying to add “flexibility and innovation” to the agreement to base funding on the number of interceptions made by the French. British officials will go to Paris this week for another round of talks on the proposed three-year deal before the existing arrangement expires next Tuesday. There are concerns about a potential surge in Channel crossings if there is a gap between the deals. At present, Britain pays nearly...

In Minnesota, the Somali fraudsters who have managed to have diverted to themselves billions of dollars through the state’s welfare system for services, from child care to hospice care and everything in between, never rendered, are outraged that any of the luxury goods they bought with that money should be taken away from them. When the government repo men appear, the Somalis fly into a fury. It’s amazing how much anger they manage to summon up. They feel genuinely put-upon, victimized by racists depriving them of their new possessions only because they are Somalis. Here are just five of those...

Mamdani’s NYC City Council staffer Raphael Rubio just got ordered deported. Overstayed his 2017 visa, arrested for assault, never had work authorization. Adios amigo, your illegal status + felony assault = Juan-way ticket home.

Democrat Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal on Sunday said ICE agents will shoot and kill families at airports. The Democrats have repeatedly voted to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security. On Friday, Democrats once again blocked funding for the DHS and TSA. Hundreds of TSA agents have quit their jobs after missing a paycheck. ... According to Reuters, ICE agents will be deployed to at least 14 major airports across the country on Monday. Senator Blumenthal said the ICE agents will shoot and kill families at the airports. “ICE agents at airports will only aggravate delays &...

Newly released bodycam footage from the Fall 2025 ICE raid at Nutrition Bar Confectioners warehouse in Cato, NY is now public. Homeland Security investigators obtained employee records from the New York State Department of Labor showing that at least 134 of the 224 workers were using fraudulent Social Security numbers—including SSNs belonging to deceased individuals, according to the sworn affidavit. The question many are asking: how are illegal aliens obtaining and using Social Security numbers in the first place? We were told that they aren't and cannot obtain Social Security numbers. All the more reason to get the SAVE Act...

Imagine blaming an 18-year-old girl for being shot in the head while walking with her friends near her college. She wasn’t in the wrong place at the wrong time. The only person who didn’t belong there was the illegal alien from Venezuela who never should’ve been in this country to begin with. And the media still finds a way to spin it. Absolutely vile.

(Mar. 20, 2026) — As we enter the final days leading up to the oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, it may be prudent to review the briefs on the merits of President Trump and his opponents, as well as the myriad amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) briefs that have been filed. To begin with, as your humble servant has posited here, the merits Opening Brief of the President, authored by Solicitor General D. John Sauer, is not merely persuasive, it is compelling. Read it for yourself. And as for the opposition’s merits brief, your servant has made his...

Bridgett Fertig repostedBridgett Fertig@LightOnLiberty·11hIn 2025, President Trump stood in front of the United Nations and called ALL of those corrupt cabal elites out for funding the destruction of the United States by sending hoards of dangerous, criminal illegal immigrants towards our borders.The UN's existence was based primarily by OUR tax dollars, so naturally, the technicality that we were funding our own destruction, pissed him off enough to not only cut off their funding, but call them out directly to their faces — NO aviator glasses needed — as he WANTED them to see who he was glaring at while he...

As the Trump administration works on deporting the millions of illegal immigrants that the Biden administration let in through the southern border, Democrats and the left have insisted that America is "a nation of immigrants." It's just another attempt to twist words and meanings to fit their ideology. Traditionally, immigrants expected to come to the U.S. and work hard to achieve success. As if we didn't already suspect, today's immigrants appear to have a very different idea of what coming to America is.Center for Immigration Studies Director Jessica Vaughan on the burden of illegal aliens on taxpayers:“Over 60% of illegal...

Oh, I had not heard about this at all. It happened a couple of days ago, and what a development. This began as a COVID-era fraud case, but what it ended up as should strike fear in the heart of every Somali Learing Center hustler and every Armenian hospice provider. That naturalized citizenship is not the shield of steel one might have thought it was, or that it used to be back when no one paid attention to such things. For the year between April 2020 and the next May, 25-year-old Joff Stenn Wroy Philossaint of Fort Lauderdale, FL, had...

Mazie Hirono says that non-citizens wouldn’t dare try to vote, because it’s already illegal and they can be put in prison for it. "Who's going to commit this kind of fraud knowing that they could be in prison for five years?" She was very proud of herself for this one.

Cesar Chavez is disappearing across California. Statues are coming down, street names are being stripped, and murals are being covered up in a rapid-fire backlash against the once-revered labor leader, as officials move to distance public spaces from a legacy now under scrutiny. In San Fernando, a statue of Cesar Chavez was removed Thursday, while at Santa Ana College, murals and other campus imagery bearing his likeness have been covered. In Fresno, city leaders unanimously voted to strip Chavez’s name from a major boulevard, restoring its original designation, a dramatic reversal of a tribute that once symbolized pride in the...

Five Mexican nationals were indicted on federal drug trafficking and weapons charges this week after authorities discovered a clandestine methamphetamine lab in Northern California, leading to the seizure of nearly 3,000 pounds of the drug, officials said. The Department of Justice said a federal grand jury returned a 10-count indictment Thursday against Luis Reyna Carrillo, 33, Mariana Vanessa Mendoza Camacho, 33, Juan Jesus Manriquez Diaz, 31, Alvaro Rosales, 44, and Manuel Juan Madrid Perez, 38, charging them with conspiracy to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine and multiple drug trafficking and gun offenses. "These illegal aliens allegedly operated a secret lab on...

AA staffer for Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, allegedly lied about being an attorney at least 11 times for detainees at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in an effort to meet with them and sneak in cell phones. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons informed Escobar in a letter dated Thursday about Benito Torres, a senior caseworker on the congresswoman's staff. Lyons said Torres lied about being a lawyer for detainees in ICE custody at the Camp East Montana facility at Fort Bliss in El Paso. "The available evidence demonstrates your staffer, a senior caseworker named Benito Torres, misrepresented himself...

A new White House URL is out of this world (wide web). The eyebrow-raising domain name — “Aliens.gov” — has been added to the federal government’s official website registry, amplifying speculation that President Trump could be gearing up to pull back the curtain on what US intelligence agencies really know about whether we’re alone in the universe. Though the website is not yet live, the government has reserved the domain name for an as-yet-unknown purpose, registry records show. The revelation came after it was flagged by an automated tracker of new federal websites on Wednesday, almost exactly a month since...

This morning, federal and local law enforcement arrested 10 defendants—eight in Los Angeles County and two foreign nationals—charged in a 15-count indictment with stealing the identities of elderly victims, using that information to obtain title reports for residential properties, then soliciting millions of dollars in hard-money loans from private lenders by falsely representing the loans as secured by the victims’ properties. These arrests are the tip of the iceberg in terms of the fraud permeating California. Under the leadership of @AGPamBondi, we will target rampant fraud committed against the government and private citizens alike. The defendants arrested in L.A. County...
