Illegal aliens

RUSH LIMBAUGH: Marco Rubio was part of the Gang of Eight trying to secure amnesty and wishes he wasn’t. Ted Cruz never was and they’re trying to make it out like he was. And at the end of the day, when people go vote, people are going to remember of the two, it was Marco Rubio that was a member of the Gang of Eight and Ted Cruz that wasn’t. And that’s as complicated, or simple, as it’s going to end up being.

Illegal alien “journalist” José Antonio Vargas pressed Hillary Clinton into committing to abandon the term "illegal immigrant." This bizarre exchange is the next step in what can only be described as the death of reality on the Left. While those on the Left claim that using the terms “illegal” and “alien” are insulting and offensive, they are in fact based on the reality of language, legal thought and the U.S. Code.

The Center for Immigration Studies released a report Monday that said the Obama administration has operated a “shadow” immigration system for years, one that has handed out millions of work permits to illegal aliens and aliens with unknown legal status.

Every so often something comes in over the transom that’s so incisive (and funny in a sad sort of way) that we just have to share it, and such was the case with “American Conundrums” an email forwarded to us by our old friend “Jim,” a decorated Vietnam vet, patriot and valiant cancer survivor still fighting the 30-front war down in Florida.

Going down the path of subjecting every opinion – and fact – to an arbitrary and capricious racial sensitivity test is the end of truth-seeking and honest public debate.

House R's would deploy the National Guard to the border, change trafficking laws to more quickly process Central American children and beef up judicial and law enforcement resources under a party plan for tackling the surge of child immigrants entering the U.S.

Democratic Governors O’Malley, Malloy, Hickenlooper and Markell have already been caught out as hypocrites on Obama's plan to settle illegal aliens in their states. It is time to put the heat on the rest of the Democratic Governors who pander to race-baiting Hispanic organizations, like La Raza, and then run for cover when the bill for their open borders policies lands on the doorstep of taxpayers in their states.

A normal government -- one with the best interests of its own citizens at heart -- would take immediate steps to 1) halt border crossings that pose a dire threat to public health and safety, and 2) set in motion the deportation efforts necessary to return illegal aliens to their home countries. But the Obama administration is not a normal government. 

Federal agencies employ about 120,000 full-time officers authorized to carry guns and make arrests. This is the equivalent of 10 to 12 Army divisions equipped with tens of thousands of machine guns; night-vision equipment; and hundreds of silencers, armored cars and aircraft. It is only a matter of time until they are deployed against the patriots of Murrieta and other Americans who oppose the lawlessness of Barack Obama. 

Right now there is no better proof that incentives work than the flood of juvenile illegal aliens flooding our southern border – all in response to the incentive offered by Virginia Republican Congressman Eric Cantor, President Obama and other supporters of amnesty for these youthful violators of American sovereignty.

Tea Party Express' co-founder Sal Russo now says he supports amnesty for illegal aliens -- a total reversal of his organization's position. This is not that surprising when one considers his background and strong establishment ties.

Given the government's manifest tolerance toward those who employ illegal aliens, how consistent have some of those employers been in filing erroneous or inaccurate W-2s?

The Hispanic Caucus has been pushing Obama to sign a pro-amnesty exec. order, but states may thwart Obama's plans. The CRS offered another report on the ability of states to restrict access by illegal aliens to public colleges and universities.

The nearly 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. are already citizens, Vice President Biden said during his address to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Kudos to WBBH and Judicial Watch for exposing this fraud and government encouragement of it in the most important swing state in presidential elections.

Is there really a shortage of high-tech workers in the USA that could be solved by granting amnesty to illegal aliens? 

The GOP has for years been in a quandary about how to address the issue of illegal immigration honestly and firmly without sounding racist. A good place to start would be to knock off the brown-face minstrel show routine they learned from Dems.

What is it that some Catholic cardinals -- and many Catholics in general -- do not understand about "illegal" in the designation "illegal alien"? 

The passive, weak-kneed, and principle-free response of the GOP establishment to demands for amnesty for illegal aliens is to be expected of a Party whose leading establishment figures, like Haley Barbour, readily take the 30 pieces of silver from Big Business, rather than fight for American workers, the rule of law and American exceptionalism.
