Barack Obama owes Americans 800,000 jobs to make up for the stunt he pulled last Friday and to create opportunities for his 800,000 DREAMers. With job creation averaging just over 100,000 for the past three months, this means that the president is going to have to pull off a feat rivaling his self-proclaimed victory over our second Great Depression.
Are Unions Losing to Illegal Immigrants?
A big problem with spreading a lie is that if you repeat it often enough, you start to believe it. The falsehood that government can spend without using taxpayer revenue became very popular when Barack Obama took office, as talk of debt and deficit grew and legislators needed to justify their spending habits.
Illegals Open Door to Special Interest Spending
Orrin Hatch was a creative choice for Saturday’s Republican retort to a week of presidential debt ceiling harangues. In July 2003, Hatch unveiled the DREAM Act, a bill that Democrats are twisting to justify education and job creation spending.

One day before the president assured illegals that DREAM Act amnesty was part of the solution to our immigration woes, Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano explained to a Senate subcommittee that DHS was not interested in more than a fraction of our illegal population.
Illinois DREAM Act: Smarter Illegals, Better Frauds?
Remember Elvira Arellano? An illegal immigrant, Arellano hid out in a Chicago church to avoid deportation after a second illegal entry. Arellano had also committed Social Security fraud, a nasty habit that amnesty proponents prefer to overlook. Apprehended in California in August 2007, Arellano was finally booted out of the U.S.
Will Illinois Startups Brave Fiscal Catastrophe?
If the story of the old woman and the snake was not written by a politician, it should have been. Anyone who has ever muttered a dejected “lesser of two evils” while shuffling out of a voting booth knows the sting of fangs and the burn of venom that follows an election.
