My Grandfather watched as his friends died in WWI .. My Father watched as his friends died in WWII and Korea ... I watched (1st hand) as my friends fought and died in Vietnam ... I watched as our friends and children fought and died in Desert Storm... I watched and waited while our friends and children fought and died in Iraq... None of them fought for or died for the Mexican Flag or any other foreign flag... Everyone fought for and died for the U.S. Flag! In Texas, a student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole;...

This morning I woke up and drove to work and on my way I saqw some illegals near a highway with some signs that read pro "undocumented immigrant slogans". I then decided that I should become fully "undocumented" as the people holding the signs seemed so damned happy. So I walked into the local electronics store and decided to help myself to some of the shop keepers wares. I grabbed a few items off the shelves and walked out, when stopped by the racist store security i explained to him that I was simply making a "Undocumented Purchase" as there...

An undocumented immigrant who gashed the throat of his 84-year-old neighbor in Slidell and stole money from her home last December should spend the next half-century in prison, a St. Tammany Parish judge decided this week.Through an English language interpreter, Ricardo Tenorio-Palma, 21, pleaded guilty in October to attempted first-degree murder and armed robbery in the attack. On Thursday, state Judge Martin Coady sentenced Tenorio to concurrent terms of 50 years for each count.The maximum sentence for attempted first-degree murder is 50 years, while armed robbery is punishable by up to 99 years. Coady, however, agreed to cap any sentence...

[From the past and very relevant today]...In 1994, the Government of Mexico produced this 32-page comicbook-style "How To" guide containing information to aid Mexican citizens seeking to cross the border illegally into the United States. Though little has been said in the national media, questions have been raised regarding the Mexican government's intentions with respect to producing the book.

Is the debate on Capitol Hill about immigration a sincere one? Are the politicians seriously pondering the fate of this nation of laws or are they more interested in their political hides? Those are the very questions American citizens should be asking themselves every time the John McCains use the "I" word. If you're a card-carrying member of the McCain clan then you believe, as Mexico's president does and as Mr. McCain recently said, that there "are certain jobs that Americans are simply not willing to do." The senator from Arizona stands with the elistists and liberals, whose point of...

Ironically, they were the only fatalities. As Texas recoiled in fear from the approach of Hurricane Rita, the only lives lost were 23 nursing-home patients horrifically killed in a charter-bus fire. We saw the charred wreckage on TV. There was very little left of the passenger compartment and the photographs showed a broad sweep of firefighting foam and blue tarps on the seats where the elderly people had passed away. It was terrible. And we’re just now beginning to learn what was behind it. Like the difficulty with the tire and the brake, and the odd ownership and operation of...

As far as conservatives are concerned, the very definition of "lead balloon" is the President's recently announced illegal alien amnesty...er, "temporary worker" (yeah, that's the ticket) program. We haven't heard a thud like that since Hillary's "National Health Care" blimp crashed and burned in the mid-90s. But why? To understand this visceral rejection of President Bush's proposal, it's important to understand what it DOESN'T do. Consider the following. Let's say you stumble upon a car wreck. The driver has a sucking chest wound and is bleeding like a fire hose. He's also dangerously overweight, so much so that his obesity...
