The White House shut out immigration enforcement voices from its illegal immigration summit. Sigh. The thing is, this is exactly the kind of railroading that would have occurred if John McCain had won the White House. From GOP Rep. Steve King’s office:
Congressman Steve King, the ranking member on the House Immigration Subcommittee, today reacted to [...]

Two items to raise the blood pressure of law-abiding, hard-working Americans:
1) From the L.A. Times: “San Francisco D.A.’s program trained illegal immigrants for jobs they couldn’t legally hold.”
As she runs for state attorney general, prosecutor Kamala Harris faces questions over a program that trained illegal immigrant drug felons for jobs, kept them out of jail [...]

One of the few things the Bush administration did right on immigration enforcement was to strengthen and expand the E-Verify citizenship verification system for employers.
A Senate aide tells me this afternoon that the Obama White House is preparing to gut the program.
Buzz on the Hill is that Team Obama will repeal some of the Executive [...]

Hey, Gov. Schwarzenegger.
If you are still trying to convince the rest of the country to bail out your bankrupt, union-corrupted, eco-radicalized, over-regulated, spendaholic, business-hostile, illegal alien-friendly sanctuary state, this is not going to help:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he’s “happy” illegal immigrants get state services and says they’re not to blame for California’s $24.3 billion budget [...]

Well, this should make you feel nice and comfortable when you fly:
News 8 has recently revealed serious flaws in the way the FAA licenses mechanics who fix planes.
There is evidence of years of problems in testing these mechanics. There is also evidence that hundreds of mechanics with questionable licenses are working on aircraft in [...]

If you oppose drivers’ licenses for illegal aliens, you may be a “domestic extremist.”
Seriously.

Well, it didn’t take long for partisan Democrats to blame the swine flu outbreak on the Republican Party.
Here’s the line: Since House Republicans all opposed the trillion-dollar-porkulus, which included funding for pandemic preparations, it’s all. Our. Fault.
No, really:
When House Appropriations Committee chairman David Obey, the Wisconsin Democrat who has long championed investment in pandemic preparation, [...]

Scroll for updates…

The deadly flu strain sweeping across Mexico and into the U.S. has world health experts sounding the alarm bells. Mexico City has been shut down. Officials are advising citizens there to wear masks. There’s talk of a pandemic. California and Texas have seen several reported cases, but no deaths in the U.S.
Yet:
A [...]

No, they haven’t learned.
And yes, it is time for UNC-Chapel Hill administrators to turn the mirror on themselves and ask how they fostered this pathetic climate of intolerance. After driving Tom Tancredo off campus, student mobsters again attempted to shut down a pro-immigration enforcement advocate, Rep. Virgil Goode. He was to speak on the suppression [...]

Here’s a homeland security threat that doesn’t fit the rightwing extremist profile. Paging Janet Napolitano. Oh, never mind:
The Weld County sheriff’s office is looking for whoever sent it a letter threatening to put bombs around Greeley next week unless illegal immigrants are released from jail.
The sheriff’s office says the letter was handwritten in Spanish, and [...]

The free-speech squelchers at UNC-Chapel Hill threw a temper tantrum during Tom Tancredo’s speech.
I can hardly stomach watching the videos. And I am very grateful that Tancredo was not harmed.
We’ve seen it so many times before: Administration officials and faculty who refuse to act like adults on campus. They are worse than AWOL. They have [...]

I’m not sure why Drudge is hyping the New York Times’ stenography piece on Obama’s plans to carry through on his promise to pitch a shamnesty bill. It’s not news. It’s a White House-planted distraction sourced mainly to La Raza/The Race lobbyist-turned-White House open borders czar Cecilia Munoz.
I pointed a few weeks ago to Obama’s [...]

Well, this is very noteworthy. Today, the Colorado state legislature defeated an illegal alien in-state tuition discount bill. Five Democrats crossed over and joined pro-enforcement Republicans to kill the DREAM Act legislation. Open borders lobbyists and local columnists poured on the victim-card propaganda, but taxpayers weren’t buying it. And Democrats are starting to listen.
Let’s hope [...]

My column today spotlights the radical re-shaping of the electoral landscape by the Obama and Company census conspirators. The immediate agenda of the left-wing census volunteer groups: freezing immigration raids. The long-term goal: Exploiting the massive population of illegal aliens to redraw the political map and secure a permanent ruling majority.
As I’ve long argued, [...]

Not forgotten.

Excellent myth-buster piece from William La Jeunesse and Maxim Lott at Fox News on an anti-gun rights lie. Countering the double-barreled propaganda from both the gun controllers and the open-borders lobby is a job most of the MSM refuses to do:
You’ve heard this shocking “fact” before — on TV and radio, in newspapers, on [...]

“Praise God.”

The shamnesty crowd is ready to roll again. The illegal alien college tuition discount bill known as the “DREAM Act” has been reintroduced — with bipartisan support, as usual:
Congressmen Howard Berman (D-CA) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL), announced the reintroduction today of the DREAM Act in the U.S. House of Representatives. This legislation will restore the [...]

Where in the world is Barack Obama’s illegal alien aunt, Zeituni Onyango? When last we saw the destitute relative, she was partying on Inauguration Day despite her fugitive status. The deportation evader is set to have yet another day in immigration court. She’s back at her Boston public housing complex, courtesy of the American taxpayer, [...]

Nancy Pelosi isn’t the only one who thinks hard-working men and women in interior immigration enforcement are unpatriotic.
If you can stomach it, watch the whole ICE-bashing diatribe. The “anti-American” smear gets tossed in at the end. And yes, that’s McCain open-borders Hispanic outreach advisor Juan Hernandez sitting next to the smear merchant, followed by another [...]

Scheduled to appear on Fox & Friends for my regular Thursday morning segment at around 8:15am Eastern. Topic is Open-Borders San Fran Nan.

As I noted yesterday, the next big shamnesty push is underway at the White House. And Nancy Pelosi is performing her own open-borders sideshow in the House circus tent. If her rhetoric trashing federal ICE agents sounds familiar, well, it’s because Barack Obama engaged in the same smearing during the campaign — when he accused [...]

Yes, they are.

For years, the open-borders crowd has argued that a) illegal aliens are not getting free health care and b) even if they are, they are not draining government budgets.
Myth, meet reality:
Graciela Barrios, an undocumented immigrant with few resources, has long relied on the county health clinic for the advice, medication and tests that have kept [...]

No, he won’t.

You’ll love the loophole that lets President Obama violate his no-lobbyist rule in order to bring La Raza/The Race lobbyist Cecilia Munoz on board to work on shamnesty issues from the inside:
It’s a “public interest” exemption.
“Public interest” meaning illegal alien interest, apparently.
Via The Hill:
President Obama has issued waivers allowing two appointees who were formally registered [...]

Scroll for updates…7:09pm Eastern…motion to invoke cloture passes 62-35…and…omni-pork sails through the Senate on voice vote…$410 billion soon to siphoned away from taxpayers to bolster congressional re-election prospects…they should have said “Oink” instead of “aye…”
Just watched Jeff Session’s E-Verify amendment to ensure that omni-pork spending only goes to legal citizens get tabled.
Vote was 50-47. Here’s [...]

I’ve reported to you over the past month on Sen. Jeff Sessions’s battle to ensure that stimulus money didn’t go to illegal aliens. He fought the good fight and lost.
Now, it dawns on USA Today that — you don’t say! — the stimulus money might find hundreds of thousands of illegal alien jobs. Way to [...]

Oh, the open-borders crowd’s heads are exploding.
Under President Obama and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano’s watch, federal immigration agents had the nerve to — gasp! — enforce immigration laws.
How could this happen? Quick, launch an investigation! This must not be allowed to stand!
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Wednesday ordered a review of a raid at [...]
