Anchor BabiesHe brought with him his wife, Felipa, and three children, 19, 12 and 8 – all illegals. When Felipa gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Flor, the family had what is referred to as an "anchor baby" – an American citizen by birth who provided the entire Silverio clan a ticket to remain in the U.S. permanently But Flor was born premature, spent three months in the neonatal incubator and cost the San Joaquin Hospital more than $300,000. Meanwhile, oldest daughter Lourdes married an illegal alien gave birth to a daughter, too. Her name is Esmeralda. And...

House Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-Wis.) delivered the following statement during today's House floor debate on the 9/11 Commission implementation legislation conference report: Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the conference report. The House bill not only reformed our intelligence community - it also secured our border. Unfortunately, the conference has left us with an incomplete product that does not secure the border. The House bill followed the 9/11 Commission's common sense recommendation that we have federal standards for driver's licenses. The 9/11 Commission said: "For terrorists, travel documents are as important as weapons." Despite many...

Conservatives simmer as spending mushrooms under Bush WASHINGTON (AP) — Conservatives wait warily as President Bush makes final decisions about his election-year budget, three years into an administration on whose watch spending has mushroomed by 23.7%, the fastest pace in a decade. While Bush has emphasized repeatedly the need to rein in spending, overall federal expenditures have grown to an estimated $2.31 trillion for the budget year that started Oct. 1. That is up from $1.86 trillion in President Clinton's final year, a rate of growth not seen for any three-year period since 1989 to 1991. Much of the increase...

Cynthia McKinney, the feisty former 4th District congresswoman, is headed for the Ivy League. Officials at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., confirmed that McKinney has been named a visiting professor at the institution.

At an anti-war "teach-in" this week, a Columbia University professor called for the defeat of American forces in Iraq and said he would like to see "a million Mogadishus" -- a reference to the Somali city where American soldiers were ambushed, with 18 killed, in 1993. "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military," Nicholas De Genova, assistant professor of anthropology at Columbia University told the audience at Low Library Wednesday night. "I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus." The crowd was largely silent at the remark. They loudly applauded De...

It is time to stop pretending that Europeans and Americans share a common view of the world, or even that they occupy the same world. On the all-important question of power — the efficacy of power, the morality of power, the desirability of power — American and European perspectives are diverging. Europe is turning away from power, or to put it a little differently, it is moving beyond power into a self-contained world of laws and rules and transnational negotiation and cooperation. It is entering a post-historical paradise of peace and relative prosperity, the realization of Kant’s “Perpetual Peace.” The...

I'm curious, if they are finding new votes for Nader, and Buchanan also? There is no mention of this in the news. It would seem to make the case for the Dems about improper or bogus machine counts if the other Presidential contenders were picking up votes to.
