“…their home countries are associated with special national security concerns.”

Yes, they did.

Call 911.

I have had the pleasure of speaking and debating alongside former Colorado Gov. Dick Lamm. In Colorado five years ago, we took on an open-borders contingent that was pushing for the illegal alien ID card known [...]

A few items for you this morning on our leading GOP immigration drag queens running for president.
First up: Video of Mayor Rudy Giuliani boasting that NYC is “quite tolerant of undocumented immigration and this shouldn’t surprise you because I’ve been mayor of this city a long time and outspoken on this issue even nationally, [...]

Update: Romney vs. Giuliani on immigration enforcement. Ask them where they stand on the Bush Treasury Department’s approval of the matricula consular card.

You know I’m happy to bash San Francisco when the moonbatty town deserves it, which is often, but you’ll pardon me for not getting overly worked up over the Bay Area sanctuary city’s [...]

Here’s our second Hot Air video report from CPAC–An interview with Newt Gingrich during his visit to bloggers’ row.
Topics covered: illegal and legal immigration, the Diversity Visa Lottery (he’d kill it), Visa Express and Saudi visas, the matricula consular card (he said he doesn’t know about it), the war, and defeating Hillary Clinton. My [...]

Video: Dennis Miller cashes out of Bank of America in protest of its new credit card program for illegal immigrants.
Baltimore Sun:
“At face value the program seems to be problematic,” said Russ Knocke, a department spokesman. “It seems to be lending itself to possibilities of perpetrating identity theft or creating more risk for money laundering.”
The [...]

I’ve noted many times that Big Business on the right is as much to blame for rampant illegal immigration as the open-borders multiculturalists on the left. Case in point via the open-borders WSJ:
As U.S. leaders craft policies to curb illegal immigration from Mexico, the U.S. Federal Reserve is devising programs to extend banking services to [...]

President Bush likes to talk tough about how he supports the use of a “tamper-proof ID card” as part of his “comprehensive immigration reform plan” to ensure that illegal aliens are who they say they are.
Ha ha ha.
As I have noted many times, the Bush Treasury Department ignored the pleas and warnings of veteran law [...]

The Department of Homeland Security is working overtime to quell citizen outrage over the Border Patrol/Mexico/Minutemen story. The contradictory spin doctors are not doing a very good job. I’ll have more in a moment.
But now is a crucial time to step back and look at this disturbing episode in a larger, informed [...]

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 [...]

It has been a busy news day, but I can’t let President Bush’s appalling comments about law-abiding, pro-immigration enforcement Americans pass without comment. As reported in the Washington Times:
President Bush yesterday said he opposes a civilian project to monitor illegal aliens crossing the border, characterizing them as “vigilantes.”
He said he would pressure Congress to further [...]

The Washington Post reports on an interesting survey of Mexican illegal immigrants:
Most Mexican illegal immigrants want to remain in the United States indefinitely, but a majority would be willing to return to Mexico within five years under a temporary guest worker program being considered by the Bush administration, according to a survey released yesterday.
The survey [...]

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 [...]

John and Ken of KFI radio in Los Angeles have posted an op-ed by Rep. David Drier on their web site in which Drier states,
It should also be recognized that Matricula Consular cards have been issued by the Mexican government since 1871, are not available to illegal immigrants, and are not accepted by any federal [...]
