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 [...]

Painful in pink.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Just heard from Sen. Sessions’ office about the bipartisan amendment to ensure that stimulus fund recipients perform E-verify citizenship vetting before spending our tax dollars. Good news: “…the E-Verify fight isn’t over. We just re-filed the amendment which is modified to fit the Collins/Nelson substitute. We can still object to a UC [unanimous consent] to [...]

GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions and Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson attempted several times to bring their bipartisan amendment to the floor last week. SA 239 would require local governments and businesses that receive porkulus money to use the federal E-Verify citizenship check system. On the House side, a long term extension of the E-Verify program passed [...]

But wait. The open-borders folks are always telling us these are jobs Americans won’t do. John “Lettuce” McCain doesn’t think these Americans exist, either. Yet here they are, American citizens lining up to do the work illegal aliens were doing (just like they did after the Colorado Swift raids): Howard Industries found itself at the [...]

Judging from my e-mail, a lot of folks are hopping mad about this weekend’s story from the Shelbyville, Tennessee Times-Gazette concerning Tyson Foods’ decision to replace the paid Labor Day holiday with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. Brian Moselely reports that there are 700 Muslims working at the 1,200-employee plant, including some 250 Somali [...]

As expected, John McCain’s appearance at the annual convention of La Raza/The Race yielded no Hermana Souljah moments. Ed Morrissey points to McCain’s mild, almost apologetic rejoinder to open-borders zealot Enrique Morones and compares it to Barack Obama’s embrace of the radical activist. That’s a relief. But it’s the very least we could expect of [...]

“Immigration theater”, the second act.

Rule of lawlessness.

No kidding.

If immigration reform is such a loser, WSJ, why are Democrats outflanking the GOP on it?

Fraudsters busted.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
