7:45am 5/18 updated: Mitt Romney: “I strongly oppose today’s bill going through the Senate. It is the wrong approach. Any legislation that allows illegal immigrants to stay in the country indefinitely, as the new ‘Z-Visa’ does, is a form of amnesty. That is unfair to the millions of people who have applied to legally immigrate [...]

Selling out The amnesty sellout arrives. Background at this post. Lie of the day from Arlen “Illegal Alien Gold Card” Specter: “This will restore the rule of law.” Will you support a GOP presidential candidate who supports the Bush/Kennedy amnesty? Yes No Hell No!    Second biggest lie of the day: Bush called it “a [...]

Shamnesty.

While the border fence shrinks and his support among grass-roots conservatives plummets, President Bush continues to lobby for his massive illegal alien amnesty plan. The open borders lobby, of course, isn’t appeased enough. They want their green cards NOW (see above). Chris Kelly’s waiting for Bush’s fence photo op. Meanwhile, it has been left to [...]

The Maryland House last night voted 81 to 57 for a bill that gives in-state tuition discounts to illegal aliens at universities and community colleges. The illegal alien Pander-lympics continues.

Chris Kelly at Lonewacko has been doing the job no one else will do: doggedly analyzing and tracking illegal alien amnesty legislation coming down the pike.

Well, I see the news about the pre-State of the Union immigration raids–intended to soften up conservative opposition to the coming illegal alien amnesty–is getting big play. Misleading play.

Remind me again which party has the majority in the U.S. Senate? Via Reuters: Senate leaders on Thursday announced a bipartisan compromise on an overhaul of U.S. immigration laws, giving some illegal immigrants a path to citizenship and creating a temporary worker program. “I think we’re looking like we may be able to dance this [...]

Frum in the latest issue of National Review (cover story of the dead tree edition): No issue, not one, threatens to do more damage to the Republican coalition than immigration. There’s no issue where the beliefs and interests of the party rank-and-file diverge more radically from the beliefs and interests of the party’s leaders. Immigration [...]

Sabertooth blogs about his call to Hugh Hewitt’s radio show Monday afternoon. Here is part of his post: …Hugh surprised me. When I told him that there was no difference between legalization and regularization, he said that President Bush’s guest worker program wasn’t a legalization of illegal aliens, because they could “never become a citizen, [...]
