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?

Common Sense and Decency? Who is Being Naïve?

ICE El Paso removes fugitive father, son to Mexico for allegedly killing a man, stealing about $20,000, injuring 4 others.

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?

May 17, 2015 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

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

America Doesn’t Want More Cowards

February 19, 2015 by Bob Prokop 2 Comments

Do you think that out of control progressivism is responsible for the stupidity over amnesty that has been dominating the U.S. political scene? It’s not quite that complicated. Liberal politicians are pandering to people who have embraced cowardice as a way of life because they are easy marks. The problem is that America doesn’t want more cowards. It’s the last thing we need. … [Read more...] about America Doesn’t Want More Cowards

New Report Confirms Cost of Illegal Immigrants

February 1, 2015 by Bob Prokop 2 Comments

No matter how many lies Washington tries to trick us with, most of the time we know the truth even before the propaganda war starts. A new report from the Congressional Budget Office adds support to what conservatives have known for years despite the disinformation assault from the left. Illegal immigrants are a cost. They aren’t going to save our economy or salvage the … [Read more...] about New Report Confirms Cost of Illegal Immigrants

Temporary Amnesty: 5 Huge Executive Action Problems

November 23, 2014 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

It’s not like he didn’t warn us, so why did we let Obama pull temporary amnesty out of his bag of tricks and dump it in our laps on Thursday night? All the signs were there. He told us what he was going to do. He has a record of making good on his threats. Now we have millions of illegal immigrants to process. The president puts the number at five million, but when it comes to … [Read more...] about Temporary Amnesty: 5 Huge Executive Action Problems
