President Obama’s illegal alien deportation fugitive aunt, Zeituni Onyango, is still here. She’s still being secretly subsidized. And she has successfully shut the public out of her asylum hearing. Via the Boston Herald:
The illegal alien aunt of President Obama could learn this week whether she can put down roots in Boston – or start packing [...]

The question isn’t why Sarah Palin is helping John McCain. The question is: What are you doing to stop him from cementing his Big Government Republican legacy?

He was reported to have been “drunk” last week on the plane that was diverted.
Do you buy that?
Just asking:
A charge of interference with a flight crew is likely to be filed Monday against Muhammed Abu Tahir, whose allegedly disruptive behavior led to an Atlanta to San Francisco airline flight being diverted to Colorado Springs, [...]

I encouraged you last week to fight the SEIU/Demcare corruption and contribute to MA GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown’s campaign.
The election date — Jan. 19 — is rapidly approaching and the race has turned competitive thanks to grass-roots conservative pressure.
The NYTimes takes notice today. In a word, Democrats are “anxious:”
While Ms. Coakley kept a low [...]

President Obama had his teleprompter tuned up this afternoon and apparently sipped a bit of Red Bull before taking another stab at making an I’m Really, Really Serious This Time statement about the UndyBomber case. Resolve does not come naturally in this White House.
You can read the brief, 6-page “security review” released by the White [...]

Stuck on stupid.

My column takes a look at a trio of under-reported stories of 2009. It was hard to pick just three, of course. FoxNews.com has its own list here. What’s on your list?

Most news outlets end the year [...]

No doubt Janet Napolitano will find a way to praise this as an example of her homeland security system working:
A group of California artists wants Mexicans and Central Americans to have more than just a few cans of tuna and a jug of water for their illegal trek through the harsh desert into the [...]

Scroll for updates…
President Obama is scheduled to make a public statement this afternoon on the Christmas Day jihadi attack at around 3pm Eastern.
Sure bet: He won’t use the word “jihad.”
Via AP:
The White House says President Barack Obama is preparing to make his first public statement on the Christmas Day terrorist attack and describe U.S. efforts [...]

Not a peep from the national mainstream media about the embarrassing withdrawal of US Attorney nominee Stephanie Villafuerte and the damning indictment of the Colorado Democrat machine.
As I said, the withdrawal still leaves many unanswered questions about Denver’s ICE bureau, the prosecution of ICE whistleblower Cory Voorhis, and the accountability of DHS — which Sen. [...]

The SEIU needs more dues-paying members.
The open-borders lobby needs something to do.
Voila! Meet the new illegal alien shamnesty push via the Washington Times (readers: note that this is an excerpt from a NEWS story from the Times, NOT a Times editorial endorsement of amnesty!):
Democrats on Tuesday begin their new push for an immigration bill, hamstrung [...]

In October, I called your attention to the smelly US Attorney nomination out of Colorado involving Stephanie Villafuerte (see here and here).
Looks like the stonewall that the Dems and DOJ built for her has collapsed under the weight of local and state pressure — compounded by tough questions from the Denver Post’s Karen Crummy and [...]

She’s still here. She’s still appealing her deportation order. She’s still living in public housing in Boston.
Over and above whatever government subsidies she is receiving, someone else is paying her legal, living, and medical expenses.
Who?
President Obama’s illegal alien aunt chattered away with an Associated Press reporter, but she refused to say who’s paying her [...]

Angry mob.

Here it comes. Look for John McCain, Lindsay Graham, and the open-borders Republicans to hop on board the Obama Amnesty Bandwagon. God save us from bipartisanship. Via the NYT:
The Obama administration will insist on measures to give legal status to an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants as it pushes early next year for legislation to [...]

Witch hunt.

But of course, these attacks don’t count in the eyes of the open-borders mob too busy trying to shut down the speech of illegal immigration critics. Via Jeff Poor:
Recently a lot of hubbub had been made about the possibility that the peaceful tea party protests and some conservative voices would stir up emotions that could [...]

Stephanie Villafuerte, evader.

Whenever I have noted illegal alien mortgage fraud over the years, I’ve been smacked with the RAAAAACIST card.
Wonder if the Inspector General for Tax Administration is going to get mau-mau-ed by the open borders lobby, too.
Shhhhhh:
The rush to implement a tax credit for first-time home buyers opened the program up to potential fraud by people [...]

The criminalization of conservative speech has been a recurring theme on this blog.
In particular, I’ve spotlighted the efforts of open-borders groups to marginalize, criminalize, and demonize those of us who have raised our voices for years about lax immigration enforcement — and to impose a Fairness Doctrine-style policy on amnesty opponents.
Keep all that in mind [...]

Tom Tancredo reports on corruption at the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement — and the continued plight of agent Cory Voorhis (via WND):
The federal government’s continued persecution of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, agent Cory Voorhis should alarm all Americans. Voorhis has been targeted for removal from his job because he dared to blow [...]

Call. Them. Out:
Senate Finance Committee Democrats rejected a proposed a requirement that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for federal healthcare programs.
Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that current law and the healthcare bill under consideration are too lax and leave the door open to illegal immigrants defrauding the [...]

Well, here’s a trend I hope catches on (oh, and so much for being “undocumented,” eh?):
A Framingham man who told police he can’t afford to return to his native Guatemala, turned himself in Saturday on identity theft charges so he could eventually be deported, police said.
Carlos F. Boc, 29, told officers he had no job [...]

They are not giving up without a fight.
Via the Washington Times:
Fearful that they’re losing ground on immigration and health care, a group of House Democrats is pushing back and arguing that any health care bill should extend to all legal immigrants and allow illegal immigrants some access.
The Democrats, trying to stiffen their party’s spines on [...]

From the Dallas Morning News, an illegal alien from Jordan was arrested in Italy, Texas for plotting to bomb a skyscraper after coming to the U.S. specifically to commit jihad.
I’m sure the State Department and DHS will be all over the consular officials and immigration enforcement lapses that led to his entrance into the country [...]

My column today blasts ACORN Housing Corporation’s criminal-enabling home loan program for illegal aliens. To paraphrase Jon Stewart: Where the hell is everyone?
AHC is one of the endless non-profit arms of ACORN. Their response to the BigGovernment.com sting videos hasn’t received as much attention as the national ACORN flagship’s. You can read AHC’s CYA reaction [...]

Here’s my July 22 column on Obamacare for illegal aliens, which spotlights how the S-CHIP expansion’s loosened verification standards open the barn door.
Here’s my August 17 blog post on how hospitals are buckling under the weight of illegal alien care costs — and why it’s time to ration health care for illegal aliens.
Here’s my August [...]

“If you misrepresent what’s in the plan, we will call you out.”

First, KennedyCare.
Next up: ShamnesTeddy.
Morton Kondracke is leading the charge:
Along with a health care reform bill, it would be a fitting tribute to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) if Congress could act on his other great unfinished cause: immigration reform.
For all his liberal Democratic passion, Kennedy understood — as few of his colleagues seem to [...]

The more the Democrats deny it, the more obvious it becomes that Obamacare will of course cover illegal aliens.
I said so last month.
And now…
GOP Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, citing a new, non-partisan Congressional Research Service report, says it again:
“Democrats can keep claiming all they want that illegal immigrants will not be covered in this [...]
