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 [...]

Meant to blog this on Friday, but Rush Limbaugh delivered some tough remarks on federal spending and illegal immigration that have grass-roots conservatives buzzing. “We cannot maintain our sovereignty without securing and protecting our borders in an era where terrorists around the world seek entry to this country,” Limbaugh said in his radio monologue.
John [...]

I find it annoying that Bernard Kerik is getting praised in some quarters for “coming clean” and “accepting responsibility” for his “mistake.” From all accounts, including Kerik’s own, President Bush’s aides asked him upfront about the nanny question several times during the vetting process and he did not come clean.
Kerik didn’t just make some [...]
