Trump Moving Slowly—But Sessions Moving Fast!
• April 2, 2017
• 1,600 Words • 41 Comments • Reply [1=0/0]
It’s early days yet in the Trump presidency, but there’s a general feeling it’s not going very well. Except, of course, for the work of our splendid Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Even partisan types are generally willing to cut a new president some slack—the so-called “honeymoon.” Nope: Ten weeks in, Trump is graded F by... Read More
Mexico Buckles, Becoming A Pass-Through Country
• June 15, 2016
• 900 Words • 19 Comments • Reply
The latest Radio Derb transcript is up here. A sample: Mexico buckles. If you do like open borders, then you must love the Obama administration, which has been waving through illegals as fast as it can while it still can. The Center for Immigration Studies, working from Census Bureau numbers, estimatesthat for the two years... Read More

No One Falling For Deported Honduran Sob Story
• December 9, 2015
• 1,400 Words • 34 Comments • Reply
Today’s Carlos Slim Times features a two-hanky sob story about illegal immigrants from Honduras Kelvin Villanueva was almost home one night last June when a policeman stopped him for a broken taillight. From his truck, he could see his longtime girlfriend, Suelen Bueno, waiting for him behind the glass door of their apartment. She often... Read More
Linda Chavez v. Trump
• August 22, 2015
• 1,000 Words • 41 Comments • Reply
Open-borders enthusiast and syndicated columnist (and board member of janitorial-services megafirm ABM) Linda Chavez has been reading Donald Trump’s position paper on immigration. Naturally she has things to say about it: so many things, she promises future columns dealing with Trump’s proposals. In her current column she tackles Trump’s call for an end to birthright...

Camp of the Stupids
• April 23, 2015
• 900 Words • Leave a Comment
The mass drowning of eight or nine hundred—nobody knows precisely—illegal immigrants in the Mediterranean last Sunday triggered a lot of commentary about these boat people, most of it stupid. Here are some of the grosser stupidities. They’re just seeking a better life. Who isn’t? I guess there are some Lotus eaters among us who are... Read More
Idiot Party Should Go to Plan B—Defang Obamnesty By Abolishing Birthright Citizenship
• March 6, 2015
• 1,000 Words • 54 Comments • Reply
We really need to retire the epithet “The Stupid Party” for the GOP. The DHS funding fiasco plainly shows that “stupid” is too mild an adjective to describe the Congressional Republican leadership.[John Boehner ends stalemate, Politico, March 3, 2015] I turned to my thesaurus in hopes of finding something more apt. Alas; in this age... Read More
Immigration: Did the American People Just Clear Their Throat?
• November 19, 2014
• 1,000 Words • 16 Comments • Reply
A hundred years and some ago, G.K. Chesterton wrote a poem titled “The Secret People.” The poem is a very brief (60 lines) history of England from a Chestertonian—romantic, traditionalist—point of view. “The Secret People” is hyperbolic and not very logical, but it contains some memorable phrases. Whether God does indeed nurse “scorn for all... Read More

Europe Dithers As Invaders Pour In
• July 10, 2014
• 2,100 Words • 55 Comments • Reply
A specter is haunting Europe—the specter of mass illegal immigration from the benighted regions to Europe’s south. There are parallels with the current situation in the Western hemisphere, but there are important differences too. As dire and disgraceful as our own federal government’s insouciance towards mass illegal immigration has been, Europe’s danger is even greater,... Read More
Who Are You Calling "Illegal"?
• October 17, 2000
• 1,000 Words • Leave a Comment
However inured I think I am to the hypocrisy in American political discourse, media coverage of the immigration issue still takes my breath away. There was a prime example this last weekend in Newsday, the main newspaper out here where I live in Suffolk County on New York's Long Island. Newsday has a left-liberal editorial... Read More
