Our definition of child abuse is pretty broad. We lock up parents for leaving their children in overheated or unheated cars, for refusing to vaccinate, for leaving drugs around the house, and a host of other dangerous behaviors that put kids’ lives at risk.
Immigration
In the immigration category you will find posts about the failure of our government to enforce the law and the consequences of doing nothing while holding out for a sweeping immigration juggernaut that Democrats and Republicans will never be able to agree on.
Federal Government spends while states lure illegals over the border
Few things showcase the insanity of our immigration policies better than spending billions on border security policies at the federal level while states pass laws that lure illegal immigrants to the U.S. The right to drive, resident college tuition and financial aid, and assurances of protection from law enforcement all add to the promise of a better life in America funded by taxpayers.
Fairness, justice, and hypocrisy
Immigration reform is not about fairness or justice. If it was, we would not be arguing over welfare for illegals or protecting Americans with legislation like Kate’s Law and bills to reign in dangerous immigrants. This contentious issue has turned into a debate over opposites: how much can the left dole out to curry favor with immigrant special interests and how much of the right’s push to close our gates is just?
Caravan from Honduras: DHS Figures Prove Democrats Wrong
A caravan from Honduras isn’t news. The number of unauthorized Hondurans has exploded over the past decade. What’s new is how they are used against us. There is no length Democrats won’t go to in their quest to bring more dependence to U.S. taxpayers. Their story of bedraggled, beaten-down refugees from Central America culls up lots of sympathy from the left, but how much of what they tell us about the caravan from Honduras stands up to the facts? Not much, according to annual reports from Homeland Security.
Public Charge Rule Update: Dems Claim Cash is Not Enough
Does welfare count when it isn’t cash? That’s the ridiculous question asked by Democrats who oppose a public charge rule update that seeks to keep immigrants off of our public assistance rolls. We were told these people are highly-skilled job creators and entrepreneurs who will come to the U.S. and make us prosperous. Now they need Medicaid and food stamps. Is someone not telling the truth?
Hispanic Culture is Not the Heritage Democrats Celebrate
Not all Hispanics in America are illegal, poor, or both. Unfortunately, that’s the impression spread by the Democratic Party. When Democrats talk about Hispanic culture during Hispanic Heritage Month they focus on illegal immigration and the hurricane death toll in Puerto Rico. Both issues are favorites for attacking the president. Neither has anything to do with celebrating Hispanic culture in our country.
Federal Officers Rejected by Extremist Anti-ICE Democrats
Until now Democrats were long-time supporters of government workers and labor interests. They just finished blasting the Supreme Court for the Janus public sector union decision and Republican anti-union policies will factor hugely into the coming midterm elections. How do federal officers who are also union members factor into the party’s agenda? That question creates a huge conflict for extremist party members who will be forced to pander to unions and illegal immigrants to bring out the November vote.
