Thomas Sowell: Republicans To The Rescue?
Maybe national Republicans should stand for something. Some supporters of President Obama may be worried about how he and the Democrats are going to fare politically, as the problems of ObamaCare continue to escalate, and it looks like the Republicans have a chance to win a majority in the Senate. But Democrats may not need to ... MOREThomas Sowell: Immigration Gambles - Part II
Whose interests are immigration laws supposed to serve -- and whose interests do current immigration reform proposals actually serve? In order to have any immigration policy serve any purpose, the border must first be secured. Otherwise American immigration policy exists only on paper, and is mocked by what happens on the ... MOREThomas Sowell: Immigration Gambles
When political correctness replaces self-preservation. Britain's late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said it all when she wrote that the world has "never ceased to be dangerous," but the West has "ceased to be vigilant." Nothing better illustrates her point than the fact that the West has imported vast numbers of people who hate our guts and ... MOREThomas Sowell: Immigration Sophistry
Sympathy for the plight of lawbreakers. Most laws are meant to stop people from doing something, and to penalize those who disregard those laws. More generally, laws are meant to protect the society from the law breakers. But our immigration laws are different. Here the whole focus is on the "plight" of those who have broken the laws, and on ... MORERestraining Arizona, Unleashing The President
by Andrew Napolitano. The Supreme Court overlooks the natural and fundamental freedom to associate. When the Obama administration decided that it had no interest in preventing the movement of undocumented aliens from Mexico into the southwest United States, the State of Arizona decided to take matters into its own hands. .... MOREThomas Sowell: The Immigration Ploy
A move to help Obama, not the country. President Obama's latest political ploy -- granting new "rights" out of thin air, by Executive Order, to illegal immigrants who claim that they were brought into the country when they were children -- is all too typical of his short-run approach to the country's long-run problems. Whatever the merits or demerits of ... MOREM. Catharine Evans: Big Media Covering Up Fast & Furious?
The wagons circle around Obama and Holder. Where was the public outcry for justice when Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry bled to death at the hands of a drug cartel in cahoots with the U.S. government? It happens in the Peck Canyon corridor northwest of Nogales, Arizona -- nowhere. The general public didn't hear about it. It's been one year and two months since ...

| 40,000 deaths since 2006 |
from the New York Times. Undercover American narcotics agents have laundered or smuggled millions of dollars in drug proceeds as part of Washington’s expanding role in Mexico’s fight against drug cartels, according to current and former federal law enforcement officials. The agents, primarily with the Drug Enforcement Administration, have handled shipments of ... MORE
Michael Hurd: Obama's Kind Of Immigrants
The welfare-regulatory state is the problem. Newsmax.com reports: Illegal immigration costs Arizona $1.6 billion a year – a staggering 19 percent of the state’s budget – Gov. Jan Brewer said in an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, adding that the Obama administration is turning a blind eye to it since migrants will help register Democratic voters. “It’s unfortunate ... MOREThomas Sowell: Gingrich And Immigration
The crux of the matter. Now that Newt Gingrich has become the latest in a series of Republican front-runners, he is getting the kinds of scrutiny and attacks that have done in other front-runners. One of the issues that have aroused concern among conservative Republicans is that of amnesty for illegal immigrants, especially after Gingrich said that it would not be ... MORE
