“I don’t want media.”

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 [...]

More open-borders bullcrap from Fonzie Rivera.

Meet Chingo Bling.

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 [...]

1-800-RUN-AWAY!

A bipartisan immigration scam.

Do you know where your drivers’ license numbers, car license numbers, birth dates and addresses are headed?

Update: Send a note of encouragement to Hazelton’s mayor here. And via Redstate, the full, 200-plus-page decision is here (PDF).

Downtown Hazleton, Pa.
Just in:
A federal judge on Thursday struck down the city of Hazleton’s tough anti-immigration law, ruling unconstitutional a measure that has been copied around the country.
The city’s Illegal Immigration Relief Act sought to impose [...]

You’ve got to read this story in USA Today about Chinese-American activists in Boston demanding full translation/transliteration of ballots. It’s sheer lunacy–and the Secretary of State in Massachusetts is battling the p.c. brigade to stave off a federal foreign-language ballot mandate (embraced, by the way, by the Bush Justice Department):
Boston’s 2008 presidential primary ballot could [...]

Grunting back at the Wall Street Journal.

Breaking this afternoon…Senate votes to cut guest worker program via an amendment by Sen. Jeff Bingaman:
The Senate voted Wednesday to slash the number of foreign workers who could come to the U.S. on temporary visas as part of a broad bipartisan immigration bill. A new guest worker program would be capped at 200,000 a year [...]

While the border fence shrinks and his support among grass-roots conservatives plummets, President Bush continues to lobby for his massive illegal alien amnesty plan. The open borders lobby, of course, isn’t appeased enough. They want their green cards NOW (see above).
Chris Kelly’s waiting for Bush’s fence photo op.
Meanwhile, it has been left to individual citizens [...]

In church. For Lent. LA Times:
Roman Catholic leaders in Orange and Los Angeles counties marked Ash Wednesday — the start of a season of repentance and reflection — with a plea to Catholics and others to commit themselves to immigration reform.
In Orange County, the church asked people to fast — consuming liquids only — for [...]

***scroll for updates***
They’re baaack. Illegal alien public relations experts are advising their followers to put aside the Mexican flags and tone down their radicalism, but many reconquistadors and their friends can’t help themselves. Hat tip to John A. for the protest photos today from Dallas:

Black Panthers came out to show solidarity with the open borders [...]

Remind me again which party has the majority in the U.S. Senate? Via Reuters:
Senate leaders on Thursday announced a bipartisan compromise on an overhaul of U.S. immigration laws, giving some illegal immigrants a path to citizenship and creating a temporary worker program.
“I think we’re looking like we may be able to dance this afternoon,” Senate [...]

Among the upwards of 20 million illegal aliens currently in the U.S. are an estimated 50,000 from Ireland. They’ve joined the rest of the open borders lobby in pressing for the feds to grant them amnesty, citizenship, and other rights.
Leading the pack of St. Patty’s panderers are Sens. John McCain and Hillary [...]

A serious, pro-enforcement measure on border security and immigration control has just passed the House. Three years after I published Invasion, many of the policy recommendations included in the book have been embraced:
The House acted Friday to stem the tide of illegal immigration by taking steps to tighten border controls and stop unlawful immigrants from [...]

A few weeks ago, I spoke to conservatives at the Young America’s Foundation annual student conference about immigration and national security. I noted that it was no longer true, as I had been observing over the last several years, that the only thing saving Republicans on the issue of border security was the Democrats’ stupidity. [...]

The open borders lobby is going into hysterics over the Minuteman Project, a grassroots organization of 500 volunteers who will converge on Cochise County, Ariz., in April to call attention to lax immigration enforcement.
The MSM has taken to labeling the citizen volunteers “vigilantes,” prompting this response from one observer:
Minutemen Project volunteers are not vigilantes. [...]

Locked in a close race for re-election, Los Angeles Mayor James K. Hahn is talking tough on illegal immigraton:
“People are flooding our borders because the federal government won’t do its job,” the mayor said, his voice rising. “And people are basically being invited here by all the employers who will hire illegal aliens in this [...]

The New York Times finally admits it: “At present, illegal immigrants often work off the books, paying nothing in taxes.”
That will come as news to many Open Borders Lobbyists, such as Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, who lectured me on this biased show that illegal aliens deserve the right to vote(!) because they pay taxes just [...]

Lots of readers want to know whether Juan Manuel Alvarez, the man being held in connection with the deadly Glendale commuter train derailment, is an illegal alien.
I called the Glendale Police Department, which I’m sure has been swamped, and am waiting for a call back. I also talked to Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca’s [...]

Two from the e-mailbag:
In response to the disgusting obituary whitewashing the crimes of alleged double child-killer Stephen Byrne, my old friend Doug Thornton ripped off a note to Seattle Times bleeding heart columnist Nicole Brodeur, who expressed sympathy for Byrne:
Ms. Brodeur,
I read your column today, “You Never Know” and I was struck by the [...]

My column today is dedicated to the OBL–the Open Borders Lobby. If you are sick and tired of hearing La Raza and the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the White House(!) smearing supporters of real border security as “anti-immigrant,” get off your duff. Intro:
The obtuseness of the open-borders [...]

9:45ish: Finally, finally! Bob Schieffer asks about illegal immigration…but both candidates bomb.
Bush’s perfunctory reference to how he has sprinkled a few more Border Patrol agents across the southern border glosses over the horrendous policies instituted under his Department of Homeland Security that have resulted in undermining those agents. As I noted recently:
When a mobile [...]

If you do not follow the work of Manhattan Institute scholar Heather Mac Donald, shame on you. She is a fearless myth-piercer and intrepid investigative writer who has no patience for p.c. pablum–whether it’s coming from the anti-Patriot Act alarmists, anti-profiling whiners, or anti-police agitators. Her latest article for City Journal eviscerates the open-border [...]

At Tony Pipitone’s request, I removed this morning’s post about Pipitone’s role in the Jesse Maali case. Pipitone stated in an e-mail that the Orlando Sentinel article that I relied on for this morning’s post inaccurately reported the testimony of lawyer Mark NeJame. I contacted Pedro Ruz Gutierrez, who wrote the article for the Sentinel [...]

Open-borders zealot Jack Kemp has withdrawn his endorsement of GOP candidate Vernon Robinson. No big loss. But it’s interesting to see who Kemp and his elitist friends thinks should be kept out of Washington. Robinson is a staunch, grass-roots Reagan Republican and rising star in the conservative movement with a remarkable personal history:
The son of [...]

I will get to this execrable editorial from the Open Borders brigade at the Wall Street Journal editorial page in a (long) moment. But first, some inside background:
Before 2002, I had a fairly good relationship with the Journal’s editorial page–a wonderful thing for any young and aspiring conservative writer to have. On my home office [...]
