Undocumented Children are a Great Opportunity for Obama

Last update June 8, 2014Leave a Comment

Is the government confused about its success with border security, or is the opportunity to give sanctuary to undocumented children an opportunity too good for Obama to pass up?

Long after ex-Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano told us the Southwest border was open for business, the president assured us that the flow of undocumented immigrants was all but staunched:

We strengthened security at the borders so that we could finally stem the tide of illegal immigrants.

Last update May 25, 2013Leave a Comment

Who could have predicted that the Supreme Court decision on SB 1070, the Arizona law that kicked off the furor over state immigration enforcement, would coincide so perfectly with the heat being turned up on Eric Holder over Fast and Furious?

Last update November 24, 2017Leave a Comment

Unfairness, American Style

Last update November 10, 20151 Comment

America is an awful place. We are unfair to our workers, we force the middle class to finance the wretched excesses of the wealthy, and some of our states even plan to ask residents to verify their immigration status. Worst of all, in Alabama schools that provide free public education may ask parents to document whether they are citizens.

Arizona Tragedy: Only Fools Make Sense of Crazy

Last update December 31, 20171 Comment

While perusing the produce aisle of a grocery store last Saturday, I overheard a woman telling her companion that “Tea Partiers are killing Democrats in Arizona.” She had received a text message from a family member, so she knew her statement to be true, even though the shootings had been in the news for the past hour, and other than the usual media speculation, there was no evidence that any political group was involved.

States Refusing Transplants? Get Used To It.

Last update December 9, 2017Leave a Comment

Arizona spends too much time in the headlines (see: Arizona Tragedy: Only Fools Make Sense of Crazy).  Saturday’s shootings came after a year of negative media coverage over the state’s landmark immigration enforcement bill, and the resulting condemnation and federal lawsuit.

Biting The Hands That Eat Us

Last update September 1, 2017Leave a Comment

The standoff with Arizona and the never-ending BP disaster have spurred enmity between taxpayers, government, and businesses. Opportunism spurred by the discord will compel legislators to pass bills to give the appearance of action, and to appease special interests eager to seize the moment.
