The days when securing the border was a priority for both parties are over. In this histrionic political climate we can’t call murderers and rapists “animals.” Enforcement policy that deters by separating families at the border is inhumane. Metropolitan oases for illegal immigration are firmly established to keep criminal offenders safe from federal law enforcement. None of … [Read more...] about Separating Families at the Border Protects Children from Democrats
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 amnesty juggernaut that Democrats and Republicans will never be able to agree on.
Federal Government spends while Biden lures illegals over the border
Few things showcase the insanity of our partisan immigration policies better than the Biden administration's wide open border that hands America to anyone who makes the journey. Meanwhile, states and sanctuary cities pass out driver's licenses for illegals,, resident college tuition and financial aid, and assurances of protection from law enforcement that promise 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?
Hondurans TPS Protection Ends, War of Words Begins
Hondurans TPS (Temporary Protected Status) in the U.S. was cancelled earlier this month but the war of words and disinformation is just starting. Even though TPS is meant to be exactly what it sounds like, we learned from DACA that temporary means different things to different parties. TPS for Hondurans lasted twenty years, but even two decades of temporary isn’t long … [Read more...] about Hondurans TPS Protection Ends, War of Words Begins
Detention Center Unfairness? Real Cost is to Taxpayers.
I was astounded to discover that ICE’s detention center costs were almost $3 billion in 2017.1 That’s what we pay to keep foreigners locked up according to a GAO report released last week. ICE uses a complicated formula for estimating what we need each year to hold foreign nationals under lock and key, but finding fault with the agency’s cost projections blurs the big … [Read more...] about Detention Center Unfairness? Real Cost is to Taxpayers.
Democrats Betrayed Immigrants and Demand We Count Them
It hurts to be betrayed. We’ve all felt it after voting with high hopes only to be double-crossed when the time comes to get what we voted for. Republicans should be feeling it over the massive bipartisan budget our party helped pass, though for some the military funding boost makes this monstrosity palatable. On the flip side, Democrats betrayed immigrants who were used by the … [Read more...] about Democrats Betrayed Immigrants and Demand We Count Them
Graham Durbin Dream Bill Unacceptable After Steinle Verdict
Using a Republican to reintroduce a pet Democratic immigration bill is a clever ploy. S.1615, the 2017 Dream Act didn’t have much of a chance when it was brought back to life by Senator Lindsey Graham in July 2017. Last week’s unacceptable verdict in the trial of Kate Steinle’s killer makes the Graham Durbin dream bill a tougher sell than ever. How do you sell amnesty when the … [Read more...] about Graham Durbin Dream Bill Unacceptable After Steinle Verdict
