American immigration laws have had a longer run than bootlegging laws, but they are likely to end up on precisely the same scrap-heap of history, and for pretty much the same reasons.

Bowing to the fateful 'temptation to invent' makes journalists fair game for withering criticism. Things haven't changed a great deal from the heyday of news media critics James Agee and George Orwell. [...] Distorting the health risks of various modes of tobacco usage may cause more harm than it prevents. [...] Political arrests are down, women's rights are on the rise. Life under Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, according to the New York Times. [...] The ultimate in taxation without representation, the Bush-Senate amnesty plan is revolutionary in its provocation and in its consequences. Perhaps we should stop calling the plan’s patron President Bush, and instead start calling him King George. [...] Despite Dan Brown's disclaimers, his book and the movie version are attacks on Christianity. Liberalism's hopes for survival necessitate such unprovoked aggression. [...] To send soldiers into war without a clear self-defense purpose, and without providing them every possible protection, is a betrayal of their valor and a violation of their rights. [...] When I was but a lad, my greatest hero was my dad. A tribute to an amazing Merchant Marine. [...] Arizona is spending faster than income is increasing, thanks to foolish voter-approved and judge-made mandates, and a governor that won't sign any bills unless her additional spending is included. Arizona needs to pursue a 4-part strategy to get spending under control. [...] Have you seen this guy Juan Hernandez on The O'Reilly Factor? He's described as being a former member of the Vincente Fox cabinet in Mexico? If Americans would build a serious fence, Hernandez might just have to concentrate on fixing Mexican economic and security policies, not dictating ours. [...] A three-part proposal for solving immigration: 1) build a fence, 2) eliminate social benefits, and 3) simplify the process of legal immigration. [...] It is not clear what exactly happens when big business goes bad. Somehow no one wants to accept responsibility even when it is obvious who played a role in what went wrong. Perhaps it is the egos of the people involved that won't allow them to accept defeat or admit wrongdoing. [...] Too lazy to have children ourselves, we have created an unofficial "rent-a-womb" guest worker program. [...] America's supply of energy is being strangled by the policies of U.S. federal and state governments. [...] The culture of poverty has led Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell to propose a novel, market-based solution to poverty in Ohio, which is detailed in his new book, Rebuilding America. [...] It is incumbent upon immigrants not to attempt to smuggle across the border the conditions which they allege to have fled from. [...] Bonds has surpassed some of the Babe's numbers, but there are others he cannot hope to equal. [...] Standing at this crossroads, it's time we helped America take the right fork once and for all. [...] Complete with rolled-up sleeves and an air of genuine concern, Bush applied his folksy populism to the illegal immigration disaster. But he has lost all credibility on the issue. [...] An interview with former US Border Patrol Supervisor David J. Stoddard. [...] How is it that so many politicians place so little value on their own reputation? [...] The employer-criminals who economically displace American workers add insult to injury by demonizing the very people they are disenfranchising. [...] The fantasy in the complex riddle of the “Taiwan question” is that the "Republic of China" (ROC) is holding Taiwan’s territorial sovereignty. In fact, an argument can be made that as a result of the Pacific War, the United States acquired Taiwan under the principle of conquest. [...] A report from Camp Corregidor with the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. [...] The American people may in some sense be “conservative,” but the political, intellectual, and economic elites that set the terms of debate are most definitely liberal. A response to Jeffrey Lord's article in the American Spectator. [...] |
