Surprise, surprise, Part II. Yesterday, I discussed the White House deportation waivers — a blanket amnesty through administrative non-enforcement that will benefit at least an estimated 2.1 million future Democratic voters. Today, the New York Times brings news of the first lucky winners of the Obama amnesty golden tickets. You’ll be shocked, shocked to learn [...]

Before I get to the big and disappointing announcement this afternoon, I want to share an e-mail from a Utah Tea Party leader in Utah who was incensed that the movement to unseat entrenched incumbent GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch was falsely portrayed as an “outside” campaign orchestrated by nefarious forces: Dear Michelle, Most of the [...]

Surprise, surprise. No, it’s about as unsurprising as the setting sun or the rising sun. The Obama Department of Homeland Security late last week announced it would enforce the DREAM Act illegal alien student bailout by administrative order — call them White House deportation waivers — over the heads of a bipartisan majority of Congress [...]

As faithful readers of this blog know, I was reporting on the Tea Party movement long before it was even called the Tea Party movement — and long before a legion of Johnny-come-latelys in Washington had grabbed their fiscal conservative costumes and joined the parade. I can remember not being able to get mainstream media [...]

Nine years ago, I published Invasion and have since devoted extensive column, blog, and broadcast space to informing readers about America’s deportation abyss. Most of the politicians in Washington who speak about “comprehensive immigration reform” are still abjectly ignorant about the ins, outs, loopholes, and lax enforcement that characterize our chaotic, security-undermining deportation policies. It’s [...]

**Written by Doug Powers When Illinois Senator Dick Durbin looks at a crowd of Tea Partying American citizens, he sees extremists and a bunch of fringe wackos who don’t speak for America. When he looks at a roomful of illegal aliens he sees the future of America, and maybe even the next US president: (CNSNews.com) [...]

The DREAM Act mob is on the march again — and this time they have a prominent left-wing journalist leading the charge. My syndicated column below spotlights the serial law-breaking of former Washington Post reporter Jose Antonio Vargas, who is now an illegal alien activist clamoring for amnesty with the backing of the radical Tides [...]

We knew it was coming. I’ve warned for years about illegal alien amnesty by executive fiat and the backdoor sabotage of immigration enforcement by this administration — and every one preceding it over the last two decades. I’ve also reported on how Congress issues individual deportation waivers to illegal aliens. And I’ve spotlighted the deadly [...]

There is a bit of confusion on the Internet that needs to be cleared up about the Democrats’ plans for the DREAM Act. A number of readers have pointed to a weekend post at FreeRepublic.com warning that the DREAM Act is “hidden” in another bill, H.R. 5281. Senate staff explained to me today that DREAM [...]

UPDATE 11:35am…dream act has gone down 55-41, short of 60…Rs who voted yes- Murkowski Lugar and forced retiree Bob Bennett. Ds who voted no – Tester Baucus Hagan Nelson Pryor Update on procedure tomorrow: DREAM Act cloture vote is scheduled for 10:30am Saturday…Warning: Even if the illegal alien student bailout/down payment on amnesty is killed [...]

More horrible news from the southern border. One of the officers who put his life on the line to protect our security and sovereignty has been shot and killed. Four suspects are in custody. USA Today reports: A Border Patrol agent was shot and killed Tuesday night near Rio Rico after encountering several suspects, federal [...]

Scroll for updates…and contemplate this astounding fact: “For the first time in the history of the modern budget process, this Congress failed to even vote on a budget for next year.” Whatever it takes, eh, Dingy Harry? The big buzz in Washington this afternoon is over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s warning to colleagues that [...]

I’ve been exposing the radical ethnic tribalism that infuses the illegal alien student DREAM Act movement for years (see here for my most recent refresher course). Anyone who has been to a college campus and interacted with these narcissistic multi-culti activists knows that the American flag-waving act is a cynical crock of you-know-what. Fresh from [...]

The obituary for the DREAM Act illegal alien student bailout is premature. You know this because I’ve been writing about the ceaseless push to pass this brazen shamnesty plan for years. The Washington Post pronounced it “shelved” over the weekend. Not so fast. Via the Hill, the open-borders lobby is claiming momentum: When House Democrats [...]

The Senate just voted 59-40 to table the DREAM Act illegal alien bailout cloture vote. It’s been “vitiated,” to use Senate parlance. They’ll take up the House-passed version next week. Which means another week of open-borders agitation, radical ethnic tribalism, and new Democrat euphemisms for illegal aliens. It’s also another week for you to re-double [...]

Dingy Harry delayed the Senate cloture vote on the DREAM Act this afternoon to allow the House to get first dibs. Debate is underway and the open-borders colors of the Democrat Party are on full display. A Democrat congressman from my state of Colorado, Jared Polis, just called illegal aliens “de facto Americans” (h/t Larry [...]

Now is the time to melt those phone lines and make yourselves heard on the multi-billion-dollar DREAM Act illegal alien student bailout. The Senate is scheduled to take a cloture vote on the DREAM Act at 4pm Eastern today. More info here. One interesting development among squishy Senate Republicans. I heard from Sen. McCain’s office [...]

Screenshot of the University of California’s Daily Cal coverage of DREAM Act agitators. Note which flag they are flying. I’ve done what I can on this little blog to keep you informed and mobilized on the illegal alien student bailout that the Alinsky-ites cunningly dubbed the “DREAM Act.” The Senate vote is scheduled for tomorrow [...]

My column today exposes the myriad illegal alien waiver programs that the feds and the courts have sponsored over the past 20 years. Now is the time to tell Washington: We’ve had enough. At the time I filed the column yesterday, the CBO had yet to release its score of the Dems’ latest iteration of [...]

GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions has long been a stalwart defender of America’s sovereignty, homeland security, and rule of law. He played a heroic role in killing the Bush/McCain/Kennedy shamnesty and he is now leading the battle against the DREAM Act illegal alien bailout. Sen. Sessions has just issued a Dear Colleague letter on the latest [...]

I told you this morning that the Dems were cooking up a new version of the DREAM Act to lure squishy Republicans and fence-sitting Democrats. Here it is in full. Note: There are now four versions of the bill on the legislative calendar. None have been reviewed in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Once again, the [...]

The shamnesty wheels are turning. Harry Reid has been hard at work maneuvering to get his illegal alien bailout pay-off vote scheduled. The open-borders lobby is energized and mobilized. Are you? I’ve been warning about how the DREAM Act agitators have been pressing squishy Republicans aggressively. I’ve posted phone numbers of the fence-sitters for you. [...]

Big Labor and the Open Borders Lobby are launching six-figure ad campaign for the DREAM Act illegal alien bailout in Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, Nevada, and Texas. They never rest. And they are putting their money where their mouths are. How about you? Media Advisory For: Contact: Blair Fitzgibbon November 30, 2010 (202) 503-6141 **Telephonic Press [...]

It’s no surprise to long-time readers of this blog that the pro-illegal immigration Wall Street Journal has come out in favor of the DREAM Act bailout. The WSJ editorial page has long crusaded for de facto and de jure amnesty — and I’ve exposed its deceptive campaigning on behalf of illegal aliensfor years. (See my [...]

Hope you all had a great holiday. I’m taking the day off with family. Here’s a partial clip of my Thanksgiving Day visit with Fox & Friends yesterday calling out some of the political turkeys of the year: Among the biggest turkeys I named: Palin-bashers…for their feckless double standards (which Gov. Palin skewers perfectly on [...]

Longtime readers of this blog are familiar with how open-borders lawmakers in both major political parties use special congressional legislation to grant amnesty to individual illegal aliens seeking to evade deportation orders. Review my special reports from 2003 and 2007 on how the private relief bill process works. You can see the more than 100-plus [...]

Let’s be clear. The open-borders progressives’ “DREAM Act” is an electoral nightmare. It’s not just an illegal alien student bailout. It’s a 2.1 million future Democrat voter recruitment drive. The “path to citizenship” dangled by Obama is a superhighway to generations of big government-birthed, identity politics-nursed dependents. Misguided Republicans have supported illegal alien amnesties dating [...]

I posted the scorecard and phone numbers for DREAM Act Senate GOP fence-sitters earlier this morning. Now, here’s a look at a few of the key Democrat Senate fence-sitters and those leaning no on the stand-alone vote. Remember: Your voices and your calls count. SEN. JIM WEBB OF VIRGINIA 202-224-4024; 703-573-7090. Staff says “he hasn’t [...]

Scroll for updates… Yesterday, I published a target phone list of GOP Senators for the upcoming stand-alone vote on the DREAM Act/Illegal Alien Student Bailout. I’ve polled Republican Senate offices and you should know that many open-borders squishes remain on the fence about this Obama/Reid down payment on blanket illegal alien amnesty. That’s right. The [...]

As I told you yesterday and as I’ve been telling you for, oh, years, the shamnesty crowd is counting on open-borders Republicans to drag the DREAM Act illegal alien student bailout across the legislative finish line. Here’s a handy phone list of target Senate Republicans. Use and share: Sen. Murkowski of Alaska 202-224-6665 907-271-3735 Sen. [...]
