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?

Renewal Deadline Warnings to DREAMers Worked Too Well

Sometimes no matter what you do, it’s never enough. When the Trump administration announced the October 5, 2017 renewal deadline for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals so DREAMers could get their ducks in a row before the program expired, Democrats worked themselves into a lather. The word got out. America was getting ready to line up fleets of jetliners to start a massive … [Read more...] about Renewal Deadline Warnings to DREAMers Worked Too Well

Criminal Alien Gang Member Removal Act: It’s Time for H.R. 3697

It makes sense that a congressman from Chicago, Illinois would want to do everything humanly possible to cut down on the city’s gang problem. I’m not sure how he feels about gangbangers who are citizens, but Rep. Luis Gutierrez is certainly concerned about criminal alien gang members who could be removed if H.R. 3697, the Criminal Alien Gang Member Removal Act, picks up more … [Read more...] about Criminal Alien Gang Member Removal Act: It’s Time for H.R. 3697

Public Safety Violated by Risky Big City Values

At the beginning of the summer Attorney General Sessions announced the National Public Safety Partnership as a way to funnel even more federal crime-fighting money to violent cities. The program is a carrot for those that choose to fall in line with Trump administration policies on criminal aliens. Denying federal funds is the stick for places where big city values collide with … [Read more...] about Public Safety Violated by Risky Big City Values

Kate’s Law Vote: H.R. 3004 Separates Americans from Politicians

There are no Democratic cosponsors to H.R. 3004, but the House vote that gave approval to Kate's Law shows that at least 24 Dems are willing to publicly place Americans first and illegal aliens second. That's not the case for most of their colleagues. Party politics came first when House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-NY) came out against the bill: Kate’s Law … [Read more...] about Kate’s Law Vote: H.R. 3004 Separates Americans from Politicians

Cost to Taxpayers for No Wall is Obedience to Democrats

What do a death row inmate and a Democrat have in common? When the end is near they do unexpected things. Killers find God. Desperate Democrats worry about spending too much. That’s the kind of absurdity we are faced with as Congress fights over the Trump wall. The cost to taxpayers is suddenly a worry for Capitol Hill spenders who usually regard Americans as a convenience to … [Read more...] about Cost to Taxpayers for No Wall is Obedience to Democrats
