Have you seen the price of arugula at Whole Foods?

Somebody fax this to McCain.

“…we don’t have to rely on the federal government…”

Crikey.

Yes, they can.

Mexican lawmakers whine about Arizona employer sanctions law.

Enforcement starts at home.

Et tu?

Well, this is fascinating. Two Boston Globe reporters hung out on Mitt Romney’s lawn last week and other Globe staffers have been scoping out the lawn over the last two months:
Standing on stage at a Republican debate on the Gulf Coast of Florida last week, Mitt Romney repeatedly lashed out at rival Rudy Giuliani for […]

Robert Novak and other Beltway Republicans have found a lot not to like about Mike Huckabee. Glaringly, Novak has nothing to say about Huckabee’s unrepentant open-borders record:
For shamnesty.
For recycling McCain-esque insults of American workers.
For pandering to identity politics.
And not only for government in-state illegal alien tuition discounts, but for expanding them beyond what the […]

Rule of law.

Welcome to our open-borders judiciary:
A federal judge barred the Bush administration today from launching a planned crackdown on U.S. firms that hire illegal immigrants, warning of the plan’s potentially “staggering” impact on law-abiding workers and companies.
Issuing a firm rebuke of the White House, U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer of San Francisco granted a preliminary […]

The Center for Union Facts is marking Labor Day by reminding Americans of union fatcats and the corruption of Big Labor. The state of the unions is…not good:

* Union membership is down to 7.4 percent of private sector employees and down to 12 percent overall (government employees are highly unionized, at a rate of 36.2 […]

Employer sanctions, SSN no-match letters stymied by San Francisco judge (Clinton appointee, surprise!).

Update - related note: Lots of folks are asking about the accused killer in the Newark execution-style murders of four young students. Yes, he’s here illegally according to media and law enforcement officials and he just pleaded not guilty this morning. More: “Carranza, who spoke through an interpreter, admitted he was not a U.S. citizen […]

Cutting the corners no one else will cut.

“We must fight all for one and one for all, or we lose the moral authority to fight for anybody.”

Update: La Shawn Barber writes in today’s Washington Examiner–“Now that amnesty is dead, locals must act against employers.”

Take that, John McCain:
Beginning in January, employers in Arizona could face having their business licenses suspended or revoked if they get caught hiring illegal immigrants.
A new law signed Monday by Gov. Janet Napolitano created the state crime of […]

I support Dunkin Donuts because they support our immigration laws.

Jerry Seper at the WashTimes reports that two execs of the Golden State Fence Company–hired by the U.S. government to help build a fence along the Southwest border to curb the flow of illegal aliens into the United States–have been sentenced on charges of hiring illegals for the job.
The judge in the case, and […]

I filed my State of the Borders column this afternoon. Didn’t need to wait for President Bush’s State of the Union Address to know what’s in store: the coming amnesty disaster. More on that tomorrow.
In the meantime, as is the White House m.o., the feds put on another last-minute dog-and-pony show to show their superficial […]

First, check out this reaction to yesterday’s illegal alien worker raids published in the Des Moines Register:

Caption: Hector Angel, a Marshalltown business owner, states his point of view about the raid as ICE buses roll away from the plant.
A natural response from open-borders zealots who’ve been giving the finger to immigration law for years. Right […]

The good news:
Federal agents raided six Swift & Co. processing plants in six states on Tuesday in search of illegal immigrants who stole the identities of lawful U.S. residents and used their Social Security numbers to get jobs at the beef and pork company.
Agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency executed search warrants at […]

Andy Ostroy has posted a poignant message about his wife, Adrienne Shelly, whose accused murderer, illegal alien day laborer Diego Pillco, reportedly tried to cover up the crime by faking a suicide scene.
New Yorkers speak out about compromised borders and safety. A sample:
Adrienne Shelly did not commit suicide but was murdered, allegedly by an […]

On election day, I was in New York City. You know what a lot of New Yorkers were buzzing about that day?
Not the election.
They were buzzing about a tragic story that has disappeared under the national MSM radar screen–even though folks who live in the city (including journalists) are still talking about it around the […]

Open-borders extremists are starting a boycott of the donut franchises and the restaurant chain. Why? Because they won’t hire aliens whose bogus Social Security numbers don’t check out:
A local group fighting for immigrant rights is calling for a boycott of two nationally known companies. Dunkin Donuts and Applebee’s are accused of discriminating against immigrant workers […]

The first Friday in June is designated National Donut Day.
You know which kind to get.

…because they support our immigration laws.
Beginning today, all 5,000 of Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees will be required to participate in a government database program to verify that workers are here legally. The company was responding to customer concerns about illegal employees. Only 6,200 out of the nation’s 8 million employers participate in the screening program, […]

The White House is webcasting the President’s speech paying lip service to immigration enforcement now.
Liveblogging…
Most ridiculous line so far: Introducing his temporary “guest worker” plan by saying we need to “bring workers out of the shadows and reject amnesty.”
More tough talk: Those who enter our country illegally violate the law. To keep the promise of […]

Let me sum up the state of the immigration debate over the past two decades:

1986–I think we should protect our borders and enforce immigration laws.
Response: Racist!
1996–I think we should do a better job of protecting our borders and enforcing immigration laws.
Response: Racist!
9/12/2001–I think we should really, finally get serious about protecting our
borders and enforcing immigration […]
