When Fabiola Ortiz heard California had granted health coverage to poor children lacking legal immigration status, she was grateful. Since arriving in the U.S. illegally 12 years ago, she has taken her two youngest children to the doctor only for required school physicals and relied on home remedies for everything else.

LOS ANGELES, California — Mass immigration activists have planned to stage a large protest at a dinner event featuring 2016 presidential contender Donald Trump at the Luxe Hotel on Friday night. Security has been amplified in preparation after illegal immigration advocacy organizations, such as the Coalition for Humane Immigrants Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), prepared to picket with signs that read “Dump Mr. Trump” on them. The I-405 is expected to be clogged with traffic, as it has been during President Barack Obama’s numerous visits to the region. Breitbart News spoke with the Luxe Hotel and they said they “already...

As I protested Thursday afternoon in front of the Old Post Office Pavilion on Pennsylvania Ave in Washington D.C.—the building Donald Trump is turning into a hotel a few blocks away from another historical building he wants to take over, the White House—I thought about a meeting I had with Trump at his headquarters in New York two years ago to discuss my organization’s programs, including the Hispanic Heritage Awards. Once the meeting was set, I called immigration activists Estuardo Rodriguez and Gaby Pacheco to gather some young DREAMers to crash the meeting and try and change The Donald’s mind...

Donald J. Trump, the real estate mogul who has tied Republicans in knots in recent weeks with his comments on immigration, will roll into Phoenix on Saturday to address the issue again, just after the head of the Republican Party supposedly asked him to tone down his words on the issue. The planned speech is already attracting a storm of attention. Even as city leaders have asked Mr. Trump “to stage his hate-filled circus” elsewhere, ticket requests have been so high the campaign has moved the speech from the swank Arizona Biltmore hotel to the convention center downtown. “Mr. Trump...

Three parents of children killed by illegal immigrants expressed their frustration at a federal government that they feel let them down, while two of them argued that while they might have worded the comments differently, Donald Trump on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

The head of the Republican National Committee, responding to demands from increasingly worried party leaders, spent nearly an hour Wednesday on the phone with Donald Trump, urging the presidential candidate to tone down his inflammatory comments about immigration that have infuriated a key election constituency.

Oh yes… I know everyone is tired of hearing about Donald Trump and his illegal alien talk, but I felt the need to write a rebuttal. Before I go on, I must say that we can all pretty much agree that Donald Trump running for POTUS is a bit of a joke. I don’t agree with the majority of his views, but I can say his words on illegal immigration are based on facts. Go ahead get your hater pants on now. I’m ready for you! My rebuttal is for Miss Adriana Almanza. Yes, I like to name names! I...

Sen. Jeff Sessions (Rep-Ala) told The Daily Caller Tuesday that city officials that defy federal immigration laws could be charged with crime for not informing officials about felons the city is harboring. Sessions believes it is time for Congress to say that if cities and counties that if they do not cooperate with Congress and federal law enforcement, they should not get federal money from Washington. "To me, it’s just unthinkable — as a US attorney, I had a bunch of cities and every day holds are filed. So many criminals have committed crimes in multiple jurisdictions,” Sessions said. Sessions...

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. -- A Mount Kisco man has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of Jose Sanchez, Westchester County Department of Public Safety Commissioner George Longworth announced at a Tuesday press conference. The suspect, identified as Freddy Coronado-Mendez, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter after being detained in Harrison, N.J., Longworth added. Longworth said that Coronado-Mendez, who is in his early 30's, left the area by train after the death of Sanchez. The commissioner credited county police investigators, along with authorities in New Jersey, for tracking down Coronado-Mendez in what was roughly a 24-hour timeline. “I...

A convicted felon who had been deported five times from the United States to Mexico pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to first degree murder in a San Francisco shooting that has spawned passionate debate about the city's immigration policies. Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez, 45, was charged with murder on Monday for last week's apparently random shooting of 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle. He denied guilt in English and Spanish several times during Tuesday's brief court hearing. "He has a second grade education and many of the legal nuances and the legal ramifications that attend to the circumstances of this case are beyond...

Sure he is.... Between November 1, 2013 and October 31, 2014, there have been 4,317 charges of child sexual assault filed against illegal aliens in North Carolina, according to the citizens advocacy group known as NCFIRE. 12 months, 4,300 charges of sexual assault on kids by illegal invaders. In one state. So you're "offended" that Donald Trump made a point of this eh? How about the kids who were assaulted? How do they feel about our black-hearted President and the entire US Congress that refuses to stop the invasion of people who sexually abused them?

A new experiment in California aims to solve two problems with one program. A pilot program backed by the California Air Resource Board is offering some big kick backs for residents of the Greater Los Angeles area and San Joaquin Valley if they turn in old gas guzzling vehicles for more energy efficient ones. The lower their income the more money could be coming their way. In fact, in the right situations, residents could get an electric or hybrid car for nothing. Literally $0. According to the press release from the Air Resource Board: The program works by providing increasingly...

MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews said that Democrats don’t want to enforce laws on illegal hiring because they “want votes” and that the GOP won’t do so because “they want cheap labor” on Tuesday.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump argued that companies that have severed ties with him “bailed because they want to be politically correct” on Tuesday’s “On the Record” on the Fox News Channel. Trump said of the companies that have cut ties with him, “why are they coming at me? Because I’m against illegal immigration, because I speak up for the country. I’m against illegal — if you look at it, what’s very simple, illegal immigration, I’m totally opposed to it. You see what happened in San Francisco with that beautiful young woman who was shot standing with her father by...

Instead of the U.S. choosing the best and the brightest immigrants, we allow immigrants themselves to choose who gets to live here. This is in part because of an immigration system that favors family connections over skill, education and money. It is also in part because of aliens who sneak into the country in the dark of night. Ann Coulter points out that the New England Patriots carefully select who gets to be on their team. The team spends a large amount of money vetting players in order to get the best players and fulfill their needs. The team's owners,...

Donald Trump’s coming to town. Trump people confirm he is speaking to the group of Hollywood conservatives who go by the name Friends of Abe. The event is scheduled for 7:30 PM on Friday at the Luxe Sunset Blvd Hotel in Brentwood, the invite says. The most controversial of the ever-expanding pack of GOP White House hopefuls is the latest paying a visit to the group. Other Republican contenders already have paid a call, but, of course, Carly Fiorina, Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee have not made headlines saying Mexico is sending its drug users and rapists across the border...

Over the past week or two, one immigration story has captured the attention of the country. Kathryn Steinle, a 32-year-old woman in San Francisco, was brutally murdered by an illegal alien who’d previously been deported five times. Killer Juan Lopez-Sanchez admitted to the deed, telling a local news outlet that he specifically chose to go to San Francisco because it’s a “sanctuary city” — meaning, it doesn’t enforce immigration laws. The Department of Justice has allowed these cities to openly defy federal law, which makes me wonder whether Alabama can call itself a “sanctuary state” and refuse to recognize the...
