In the pathological storytelling of our intellectual culture, illegal immigration is simply a timeless story of oppressed innocent people seeking refuge in the worst country in the world: America. Mysteriously, more than five million people have chosen to enter the most racist, sexist, and discriminatory society ever known in human history. More profoundly, this immigration is only a benign trek for refuge. There is no vast army of international corruption in the form of cartels delivering human beings at an average cost of $15,000 per person into the United States. There is no vast regimen of violence against children that...

The New York Times opined Thursday that Sen. Bernie Sanders has the right idea on immigration, and that most Republicans support a plan that gone "well beyond the usual nativist bigotry." "Republican presidential candidates are arguing, in all seriousness, about sealing the border with fantastical 2,000-mile fences and weaponized drones; merging state, local and federal authorities and private prisons into one all-seeing immigration police state; forcibly registering American Muslims; mass-deporting 11 million Mexicans and others in a 21st century Trail of Tears; and turning away thousands of refugees fleeing war and terrorism in the Middle East," the Times said. The...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A report released Thursday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says President Barack Obama's budget request would mean significantly larger budget deficits than the White House claims. CBO says the budget plan proposed last month by Obama would produce deficits of $6.6 trillion over the next 10 years — $1.6 trillion more than the White House estimates. The main reason is that the White House has a rosier estimate of the economy's performance over the decade than CBO. That means the administration predicts higher tax revenues. The president's budget is just a proposal; it has gained little...

Sen. John McCain appears cautiously optimistic that the House of Representatives will ultimately pass some kind of immigration reform — and says that the GOP is doomed in the 2016 presidential contest if the effort fails. “The crystal ball is a little cloudy because I think August is going to be a very seminal month,” he said, pointing out that members are back interacting with constituents and that a broad coalition of interest groups back comprehensive immigration reform. Mr. McCain was part of a bipartisan group that helped get a comprehensive bill through the Democratic-controlled Senate, while leaders of the...

WASHINGTON — A sophisticated airborne radar system developed to track Taliban fighters planting roadside bombs in Afghanistan has found a new use along the U.S. border with Mexico, where it has revealed gaps in security. Operated from a Predator surveillance drone, the radar system has collected evidence that Border Patrol agents apprehended fewer than half of the foreign migrants and smugglers who had illegally crossed into a 150-square-mile stretch of southern Arizona. The number of "gotaways," as the Border Patrol calls those who escape apprehension, is both more precise and higher than official estimates. According to internal reports, Border Patrol...

Should Bruno Kirchenwitz have been fired from the Basalt 7-Eleven? Yes No I don't know (5 shots fired into 7eleven store after bruno tangles with illegals. Bruno gets fired for "bad customer relations")

America Must Decide Whether It Wants to be Ruled by Judicial Tyranny By Phil Magnan Once again American families are being crushed by the continual arrogance and tyranny of Federal Justices who have no appreciation for the rights of its own citizens to be protected from the thievery of illegal immigrants. This conclusion is being confirmed by the recent article, Court strikes down city's illegal immigration law, stating that “U.S. District Judge James Munley said, Hazelton in northeastern Pennsylvania, was not entitled to implement a law that would impose fines on businesses that hire illegal immigrants and penalize landlords who...

After one of San Diego Minutemen was assaulted last weekend, 70 patriots showed up to the the illegal alien supporters we will be intimidated. About 70 motivated patriots came out to demand the church close their illegal day labor hiring center. Lots of DL's (about 35) lined up seeking work, but only 2 or 3 hirings. Father Bud closed down his parking lot to minimize pro-alien goon presence today in the wake of last week's violent attack on a Minuteman by a La Raza church supporter. Many new Fallbrook residents joined us today and vow to get more locals involved...

North Texas town makes English its official language 06/19/2007 Associated Press A divided City Council has passed a resolution making English the official language of this North Texas town. The council voted 3-2 Monday for the measure, which will apply only to Oak Point's operating policies and will not regulate individuals or businesses, as an ordinance would.

"They don't want another dime of their tax money spent on" translating government documents into Spanish, he said. The resolution prohibits the council from passing policies or...

Bales of marijuana await destruction at a Drug Enforcement Administration warehouse in Tucson. These bundles were found either abandoned or dumped by traffickers, who oftentimes carry loads as a backpack.

Seven state senators and assembly members, two city councilmen, a San Fernando Valley mayor, a radio host and numerous labor leaders were among the 300-plus individuals arrested Sept. 28 for protesting the job conditions for mostly immigrant workers who staff the high-rise hotels near Los Angeles International Airport. "Brothers and sisters, we are going to make history today," Maria Elena Durazo, executive secretary treasurer of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, told more than 2,000 demonstrators during a late afternoon rally. "We are going to march and hundreds of us are going to be arrested. "We are willing to...

The only thing standing between the country and mass amnesty is the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives. Yet, the House is the body of the federal government most in danger of falling to Democrat control this year. Political analyst Charlie Cook now has about 35 House Republicans in serious races. Democrats need a net gain of less than half of those seats to win control. Disaster for the U.S. For Republicans to lose control of the House in the fall elections would mark a disaster for America. House and Senate Democrats, some Senate Republicans, and the Bush Administration will then...
