Unholy alliance.
During his visit this week, the Pope has made repeated comments critical of immigration enforcement efforts--such as they are--in the U.S. His primary concerns are not the sovereignty and security of our country. Open borders benefit Catholic churches looking to fill their pews and collection baskets. The Vatican and American bishops, led by radical L.A....

I had a raucous time last night at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The College Republicans and YAF sponsored my lecture on immigration and CRs from across the state were there in conjunction with the CR state convention. It was heartening to meet so many staunch young conservatives holding down the fort. The UW-Madison CR chapter...

I wish I were kidding. But this is all-too-common: Yeah. And maybe the Bush Treasury Department will start cracking down on illegal alien matricula consular cards that undermine security. Guffaw. *** Flashback: Suspected illegal alien was working as police officer.
"We didn't cross the border. The border crossed us."
I've written about Hillary Clinton's campaign co-chair Dolores Huerta before. During the massive illegal alien marches in 2006, she spoke at a public school in Tucson and proclaimed that "Republicans hate Latinos." Well, she's back in the news proclaiming ethnic hegemony and smearing ICE agents as ethnic cleansers, via Chris Kelly: <blockquote<"We didn't cross the...

Left-winger Linda Ellerbee is having a field day at children's network Nickelodeon. First, anti-war propaganda. (More here.) And now, open-borders propaganda (via Lonewacko): I’M AMERICAN! THEY’RE NOT! Sunday at 9 p.m. Nickelodeon. Paola is 13. Her sister, Vanessa, is 14. Their brother, Nahum, is 17. They live in a comfortable house in Roswell, N.M. One...

Last month, instead of putting more manpower and resources into the problem and making secure adjudication a priority, DHS simply dropped criminal background checks in order to clear massive green card application backlogs. Now, Latinos are clamoring to get their naturalization applications approved in time to vote for the November elections. They've taken the Bush...
Read MoreYou'll be glad to know that not all elected officials are willing to allow a foreign leader to land on American soil and trash our nation's immigration laws and the character of its citizens. You won't hear President Bush stand up to Mexican president Felipe Calderon. As I've been reporting, they've been quietly hashing out...

Update: Here's the audio of Rush Limbaugh's remarks on the Merida Initiative. John and Ken at KFI will also be discussing the $1.4 billion aid package to Mexico today between 3-7pm Pacific time. *** If you're looking for my report on the $1.4 billion Mexican stimulus/border security funding package mentioned by Rush Limbaugh this afternoon,...

Scroll down for updates... After contacting several congressional staffers yesterday about the $1.4 billion stimulus/border security package for Mexico that I reported on yesterday, I can tell you this: We're screwed. None of the staffers I contacted had even heard of it. You might want to call them and suggest they get up to speed....

Are we a Sanctuary Nation or Sovereign Nation? A growing and surprising number of judges are coming down on the side of local immigration enforcement. This is especially welcome news given the shrinking differences between the GOP and Democrat establishments on the issue. Via the NYT, which must be beside itself: After groups challenging state...

Read More"A bloc, not one nation."
Digger's Realm did a terrific job compiling this clip reel of open borders zealot/McCain Hispanic outreach director Juan Hernandez's greatest hits. He considers Canada, the U.S., and Mexico "a bloc, not one nation." He puts "Mexico first." He doesn't believe there are any criminals among the 12-20 million illegal aliens he thinks should be legalized....
Read MoreUpdate: Reader Mary Jo e-mails: "Since Juan McCain has appointed Juan Hernandez to the position of Hispanic Outreach Campaign Advisor, perhaps someone should ask him who he is going to appoint as American Outreach Campaign Director. I guess the average American citizen is not very important to him." *** Shamnesty peddler John McCain; top entry...

Follow the bouncing ball with me: Shamnesty peddler John McCain taps former Mexican government official/shamnesty advocate Juan Hernandez as his presidential campaign Hispanic Outreach Director. Hernandez is a fellow at McCain's "Reform Institute." What has he been working on there for the past year? "Dr. Juan Hernandez serves as a Senior Fellow of the Institute’s...

Update: Hernandez is a "non-paid volunteer," says the McCain campaign. Was he "non-paid" at the Reform Institute, too? And does McCain share his "Mexico First/" "Just A Region"/"Free Flow of People" views or not? Ask. Update: Meet La Familia McCain. *** Dr. Juan Hernandez, McCain Hispanic outreach director: "We must not only have a free...

There's an op-ed today in the Wall Street Journal co-authored by Bill Clinton and Arnold Schwarzenegger. If that sets off your B.S. alarm, join the club: "Unbanked?" If it reminds you of another open-borders euphemism-- "undocumented"-- there's a reason. Chris Kelly exposes how the push to aid the "unbanked" is a scheme to help banks...

This is a damned shame. Drummed out of office by the ethnic mau-mau-ers because of her affilation with the Minutemen: "The Race" led the witch hunt: Funkhouser in June appointed Semler, a neighborhood association president, to be the sole Northland representative on the five-member park board.

Read MoreHey, remember that Open Borders 101 high school course I blogged about last week--where the students put themselves in an illegal alien's shoes and were taught how to evade the law and cook up schemes to fraudulently gain legal status, but were never taught to put themselves in the shoes of anyone who has a...

Good news for immigration enforcement proponents from Phoenix: But the open-borders lobby will be back, of course: The plaintiffs had asked for a preliminary injunction blocking the law from taking effect. Farrell Quinlan, a spokesman for business groups in the suit, said they planned to file more information with the judge to answer what he...

You know those hotel workers who are supposedly "doing the jobs Americans won't do?" Looks like one of the jobs the hotel workers won't do is wash dirty glasses properly.
