Jim Kouri — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:14:36 +0000

"The Obama administration should not grant blanket reprieve to illegal and criminal immigrants no matter what the circumstances are," stated Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas). According to government reports, an criminal alien from Haiti who was ordered deported by an immigration judge in 2007 after being convicted for two felonies was released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in [...]

What Conservatives and the GOP Dare Not Say about Immigration

Selwyn Duke — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:27:34 +0000

The fact is that upon being naturalized, our modern-day immigrants generally vote Democrat by wide margins – irrespective of whether upon arrival they were labeled legal or illegal. Massive legal and illegal immigration has already so changed the California electorate that no Republican can be elected statewide anymore.

In a recent election [...]

Jim Kouri — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:44:24 +0000

The Homeland Security Department failed to properly supervise contractors hired to increase security at the U.S.-Mexico border.

2011 was anything but a successful year for the United States' border security projects including the building of a security fence at the nation's southern border. A recently released government report reveals that the Homeland Security Department [...]

What are “Conservatives?”

Dan Miller — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:17:25 +0000

We have more agreements than disagreements and should make the most of our agreements.

The label "Liberal" has been abused to the point that it no longer has the clear and rather inclusive meaning it once had, an open and reflective mind but not an empty head. The equally simple label "Conservative" has [...]

Mexico’s Feds Dismantle Local Police Force

Jim Kouri — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 19:06:13 +0000

"The problem with corruption within Mexican coupled with the political corruption within Attorney General Eric Holder's Justice Department — including harebrained schemes like the Fast & Furious debacle — makes it less likely that the 'war on drugs' will end successfully," said former narcotics detective Glenn Knudsen. A major police department in Mexico has been completely dismantled by federal police and [...]

Obama Targeting Police Nationwide to Divert from Fast and Furious

Rachel Alexander — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 16:57:18 +0000

Over the past two weeks, the Department of Justice has announced findings of racism and other police abuses taking place within numerous police departments around the country. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is included, no doubt as retaliation for enforcing laws against illegal immigration. Racism is not increasing; instead, Obama, our first black president, is trying to [...]

America on the Brink of Anarchy

JB Williams — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 15:30:49 +0000

When our elected representatives operate with a total disregard for the rule of constitutional authority and law, it is only a matter of time before the people disregard the law as well.

When government leaders demonstrate a blatant disregard for the rule of law, the citizens soon follow that example. When justice becomes [...]

Dems Blame Bush for Operation Fast and Furious with Lies

Jim Kouri — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 16:30:06 +0000

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is trying to escape accountability for Fast and Furious by pretending that Bush was also involved with it.

"The Big Lie is that the Obama Administration simply continued a Bush Administration ATF operation. Fast and Furious is all Obama and Holder. Period." When U.S. Attorney General Eric [...]

Newt and Immigration: What’s the Christian Thing to do?

Dr. Phil Taverna — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:43:37 +0000

The Christian thing to do is to treat all people fairly and the same. And set quotas and let them all come into our melting pot in a fair and orderly fashion.

The ultra conservatives and the liberal pundits are jumping all over Newt because he wants to show some compassion. But you [...]

On Reversing the Immigration Magnet’s Polarities

John Harris — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 19:37:48 +0000

There is too much that entices the beleaguered campesinos of northern Mexico to slip across our border, and also too much that threatens them if they stay home. Both the enticement and the threat must be reduced. Mexican citizens who wave their flags in our streets and clamor for the right to vote in our [...]
