Author's note March 30, 2021: when I wrote the last update to this post on January 13, 2020 Donald Trump was still our president. A little over a year later the situation at our border with Mexico is catastrophic. Credit Joe Biden's radical left anti-sovereignty policies and the expected surge of illegal immigrants Democrats assume will be their future voters. Today's … [Read more...] about Snipers, Sharpshooters, and Mines, or a Border Wall?
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?

Let’s call it “allowable fraud.” Left-wing … [Read more...] about Is Stealing From the Government a Crime? It Depends.
Common Sense and Decency? Who is Being Naïve?
If all Americans were blessed with a dose of common sense we wouldn’t do a lot of the things we like to do. We wouldn’t eat fast food, drink too much, smoke cigarettes, speed in our cars, visit shady websites, or enjoy any of the other habits we know we shouldn't indulge. We wouldn’t vote idiots devoid of common sense and simple decency into office, either, but we keep doing it … [Read more...] about Common Sense and Decency? Who is Being Naïve?
Anti-Immigrant Sentiment is Another Democratic Lie
In the talk a lot, but do little fantasyland of Washington the course of events can easily be changed by political opportunities that have nothing to do with the job at hand. As the National Defense Authorization Act was shepherded through the House last week, the application of the feared anti-immigrant label changed a debate that had absolutely nothing to do with immigrants … [Read more...] about Anti-Immigrant Sentiment is Another Democratic Lie
