Immigration Bill Mandates Biometric Information On All Adult Americans
11 May 2013 7:43 am William Teach

Everyone should Tweet Marco Rubio and ask him what this is all about
(Wired) The immigration reform measure the Senate began debating yesterday would create a national biometric database of virtually every adult in the U.S., in what privacy groups fear could be the first step to a ubiquitous national identification system.
Buried in the more than 800 pages of the bipartisan legislation (.pdf) is language mandating the creation of the innocuously-named “photo tool,” a massive federal database administered by the Department of Homeland Security and containing names, ages, Social Security …

Gang Of 8 Throws GOP A Bone On NewShamnesty
10 May 2013 7:34 am William Teach

This begs the question: if Conservatives have to be thrown a bone to attempt to get their support for the immigration reform bill, wouldn’t that mean that the bill is extremely Democrat friendly? This is starting to look more and more like Obamacare: have a couple of popular provisions, such as a 13 year waiting period, requirement to learn English, border control, no government services, but have the ugly details buried in the bill which will cause massive problems later
(Politico) The Senate Gang of Eight made a series of overt …

Politico: Those Wacky TEA Partiers Now An Ally To Immigration Reform
8 May 2013 6:48 am William Teach

Well, this is a fine how-do-ya-do for a hump day morning
Immigration’s new ally: Tea partiers
Did your BS detector just ping?
Immigration reform supporters are about to get some new conservative bonafides — prominent tea party backers.
Several conservative activists and tea party group leaders are meeting with Sen. Marco Rubio Tuesday afternoon to discuss immigration reform, including a list of what they support – and don’t.
In a draft of their seven principles, obtained by POLITICO, the groups make no calls for a ban on “amnesty” – a longtime rallying cry of conservatives …

Gang Of 8 Immigration Bill Could Protect Those With Rap Sheets
7 May 2013 8:14 am William Teach

It seems every day brings a new revelation regarding the Senate amnesty immigration bill, none of them good. Here’s another one
(Fox News) With more than 11 million illegal immigrants living in the so-called “shadows,” immigration reform supporters say legalizing the group will make America safer. But opponents of the current Senate bill claim a provision requiring background checks for those illegal immigrants is so weak that it would actually protect criminals and gang members.
Their concern is with a clause that would, during the background check process, prohibit immigration officials from …

You Need to Spend Money to Waste Money
6 May 2013 3:14 pm Dave Blount

In order to spend wastefully to the point of collapsing our economic system, the government uses our money to enable still more spending. For example,
A Washington group is criticizing the Senate immigration bill because it allows for up to $150 million for organizations to advertise citizenship opportunities and to help illegal immigrants sign up to become citizens.
The nonpartisan Center for Immigration Services calls the money “slush funds” and earlier this week cited several concerns — particularly that the money can go to the same groups that helped craft the legislation …

POTUS Who Releases Illegals To Scare Public Discusses Our “Broken Immigration System”
4 May 2013 7:54 am William Teach

You remember when Obama, as head of the Executive Branch, had DHS release thousands of illegal aliens from jail in order to make a point about the Sequestration. Well, surprisingly, his weekly address fails to mention that episode. From the transcript
The truth is, right now, our border with Mexico is more secure than it’s been in years. We’ve put more boots on that border than at any time in our history, and illegal crossings are down by nearly 80 percent from their peak in 2000. But we’ve got more to …

Gang Of 8 Bill Could See 33 Million Immigrants In 10 Years
28 Apr 2013 7:50 am William Teach

Fantastic. In a time when American citizens are struggling for jobs, and good paying jobs, let’s bring in a ton of immigrants, particularly illegals and their families
(Daily Caller) The pending Senate immigration bill would bring a minimum of 33 million people into the country during its first decade of operation, according to an analysis by NumbersUSA, a group that wants to slow the current immigration rate.
By 2024, the inflow would include an estimated 9.2 million illegal immigrants, plus 2.5 million illegals who arrived as children — dubbed ‘Dreamers’ — plus …

Fish Wrap: Passing Comprehensive Immigration Will Increase Security And Rule Of Law
21 Apr 2013 8:15 am William Teach

I’ve been following politics for a long, long time, well before Al Gore’s Internet became a big hit and allowed the average citizen to put their opinion out there, and for the life of me I still don’t understand the serious mental machinations that Liberals go through to come up with mule fritters like this from the anonymous editorial board
Immigration and Fear
On the main Opinions page, this is positioned as “Want a safer country and stronger rule of law? Pass comprehensive immigration reform.” Because nothing says “rule of law” by …

Amnesty Bill Goodie Bag
19 Apr 2013 3:02 pm Dave Blount

In addition to tricks, the Gang of Eight’s amnesty bill includes treats — including free cell phones:
According to the newly filed bill, immigrants who are allowed to enter the United States under a work visa, will be ‘granted’ a taxpayer funded cellular phone. Move over “Obama phone,” we present the new ‘Hola, Como Estas?!’ MarcoPhone.
The money to pay for these free phones will come from the same place as the jobs mostly unskilled Mexicans are being imported to take despite our staggering 22.9% youth unemployment rate: Never Never Land.
What a …

Marco Rubio Steps Up As Squishy Republican Spokesperson For Shamnesty
19 Apr 2013 8:00 am William Teach

The more we learn about the Gang Of 8 immigration bill, the more we find out just how flawed it is. Liberals seem to love it, which should be the first clue that when all is said and done, it will simply be an amnesty bill. Shame. They could have done something that made sense, that truly put teeth in securing the southern border, holding those who come legally first and then overstay their visas accountable, and finding ways to do what we can to make sure that people do …

DHS Ammo Shortage
8 Apr 2013 1:20 pm Dave Blount

Even such a staid publication as Forbes has become exceedingly alarmed by the stockpiling of handgun ammunition by the inscrutable Department of Homeland Security. Yet beleaguered Border Patrol agents recently received an email reading in part:
Enforcement Personnel,
Due to budget concerns and ammunition availability, we will not be getting issued any proficiency ammunition for next quarter. In addition to these reductions, we are also being limited to qualification ammo only. What this means to you is that you will not receive the normal 150 rounds for practice and …

Welcome to the Hotel Mexifornia
4 Apr 2013 8:06 pm Michael Fell

On Wednesday, April 3, 2013, a group of women enjoying a “girl’s day out” noticed something amiss in Beverly Hills California. They noticed that the Beverly Hills Hotel was flying the Mexican flag next to the American flag.
They proceeded to enter the hotel and ask why a hotel located in Beverly Hills, CA was flying the flag of a foreign nation alongside Old Glory.
Brandon (who did not give his last name) the front desk manager working in the hotel told them it had been raised to honor the heritage of Mexican farms that …

Thinking Amnesty Is Winning Issue, Obama Pivots Back To Immigration
26 Mar 2013 7:23 am William Teach

So, what we can expect for the next month or so is massive hyperbole, blamestorming, fear-mongering, and denigration of opponents, at least till he gets bored
(The Hill) The White House hopes to bolster President Obama’s political standing by shifting attention from the bruising budget battles of the last month to immigration reform and gun control.
Democrats welcome the pivot after watching Obama’s standing in polls fall amid fights with Congress over the budget and the automatic spending cuts known as the sequester.
They see immigration and gun reform as a better playing …

USDA to Furlough Meat Inspectors While Advertising Food Stamps in Mexico
18 Mar 2013 2:25 pm Dave Blount

Here is how Wikipedia describes the Washington Monument Syndrome…
The Washington Monument syndrome, also known as the Mount Rushmore Syndrome, or the firemen first principle, is a political tactic used in the United States by government agencies when faced with budget cuts. The tactic entails cutting the most visible or appreciated service provided by the government, from popular services such as national parks and libraries to valued public employees such as teachers and firefighters. The name derives from the National Park Service’s alleged habit of saying that any cuts would lead …

The 7 Best Quotes From Rand Paul’s Speech at CPAC 2013

The 7 Best Quotes From Rand Paul’s Speech at CPAC 2013
7) “It’s time for us to revive Reagan’s law. For liberty to expand, government must shrink. For the economy to grow, government must get out of the way.”
6) “What about the 3 million dollars we spend studying monkeys on meth. Does it really take 3 million dollars to find out that monkeys, like humans, act crazy on meth?”
5) “The GOP of old has grown old and moss covered.”
4) “We need a Republican Party that shows up on the South side …

The Height Of Irresponsibility: Obama Releases Thousands Of Detained Illegal Immigrants
27 Feb 2013 2:05 pm John Hawkins

Even with the miniscule sequester cuts, which Republicans should be backing wholeheartedly instead of fleeing, the budget of the federal government is going up, not down. Since so much of the cuts are coming from the military, it might be able to make the argument that it’s going to feel the pinch over the long haul, but no one else is feeling any real pain at all.
Still, in a country where one political party believes that borrowing billions from China to give to PBS is such a necessity that we …

Almost No One Is Happy With Proposed N.C. Illegal Alien Driver’s License
24 Feb 2013 7:51 am William Teach

You can put me in the category of “if we are forced to give DLs to illegals, this is not a bad idea”
(Fox News) A new driver’s license expected to be issued to some illegal immigrants in North Carolina has prompted state lawmakers and immigrant rights groups to voice concerns over the proposal.
The proposed North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles license has a bright pink stripe and the bold words “NO LAWFUL STATUS.”
The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles announced last week they would begin issuing the licenses March 25 …

Majority Of US Citizens Are Big Meanies, Want Illegal Aliens Deported
21 Feb 2013 8:03 am William Teach

Well, the story doesn’t actually call Americans big meanies, yet that will certainly be the viewpoint of people who support amnesty
(Reuters) More than half of U.S. citizens believe that most or all of the country’s 11 million illegal immigrants should be deported, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday that highlights the difficulties facing lawmakers trying to reform the U.S. immigration system.
The online survey shows resistance to easing immigration laws despite the biggest push for reform in Congress since 2007.
Thirty percent of those polled think that most illegal immigrants, …

The Immigration System Is Not Broken: It’s Government That’s Broken
20 Feb 2013 9:43 am William Teach

One of the things that drives me crazy during these debates about illegal immigration is people running around say that “the immigration system is broken”. Why are they saying this? Because they want to legalize illegal aliens. This is a bipartisan problem: it’s not just Democrats like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, La Raza, Media Matters, and so many others who say it and want it. There are Republicans like Lindsay Graham, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Marco Rubio, and George Bush….yes, Bush. The last time amnesty was being pushed I had photoshops …

USDA Assures Mexican Welfare Colonists That Sponging Off Food Stamps Won’t Prevent Citizenship
19 Feb 2013 2:10 pm Dave Blount

Harbor any doubts that the Obama Regime is deliberately importing a massive welfare-dependent underclass to displace the American population? Then read this:
The United States Department of Agriculture has been working to dispel immigrants’ concerns that getting on Food Stamps will harm their chances of becoming U.S. citizens.
The USDA addresses those fears in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamp, brochures it distributes to Mexican consulates as part of its “partnership” with the Mexican government “to help educate eligible Mexican nationals living in the United States about available nutrition assistance.”
Incidentally, this …
