Rand Paul: You Can't Have Open Borders & A Welfare State

by Kelly Cohen.  Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has his priority list ready to go as he runs for president, and border security and immigration reform are definitely on it. "I think something has to be done. If you aren't for doing any kind of immigration reform, you're for another 10 (million) or 11 million people coming in unaccounted for," the Republican said   ...

Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene

The musings of a genius.      When President Obama keeps talking about "violent extremists" in the abstract, you might wonder whether Presbyterians are running amok. The mainstream media seem desperate to try to find something to undermine Republican governor Scott Walker's rise in the polls. The worst they have come up with is that he     ... MORE

IRS Defends Refunds To Illegals Who Never Filed Taxes

by Stephan Dinan.      The IRS is defending its decision to let illegal immigrants claim up to three years’ refunds on income even if they never paid income taxes, telling Congress in a new letter last week that agency lawyers have concluded getting a Social Security number triggers the ability to go back and ask for previous refunds. President     ... MORE

Obama's Gift: ‘Amnesty Bonuses’ in Tax Code Mean Illegal Immigrants Will The Receive Earned Income Tax Credit

by Daniel Halper. President Barack Obama has promoted his recent executive action on immigration by arguing that he’s only deferring action – holding off on enforcement of the current immigration laws until an immigration reform he approves of passes Congress. But that's not really true; in fact there’s a way for illegal immigrants immediately to  ... MORE

Did Border Crisis Trigger Measles Outbreak?

by Joel B. Pollack.    More than a coincidence. A quick review of the U.S. State Department visa requirements for immigrant visas reveals that applicants must be vaccinated for measles prior to their approval. Measles vaccination is not required for tourist visas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nor is it required for any     ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: Shooting Itself In The Foot

Bumbling idiots at work.  Ali Saleh al-Marri is a convicted conspirator who entered the United States before 9/11 in order to create a dreaded sleeper cell here that might someday launch an attack on Americans similar to what we witnessed earlier this month in Paris. When the feds woke from their slumber on 9/11, they wisely began to search   ... MORE

The Sad, Sick Story Of Immigration In America

by Barry Farber.   “Send the manager over,” stormed the patron in the coffee shop. “How may I help you?” asked the manager. “This is the worst vanilla ice cream I’ve ever had,” the patron complained. “That’s not vanilla,” the manager explained. “That’s butter pecan.” “Oh,” said the patron, suddenly brightening. “For butter pecan it’s great!”  ...

Obama: US Taxpayers Must Pay For Illegals’ Children

by Neil Munro.      A redistribution from citizens to non-citizens. Illegal immigrants will receive huge payments from American taxpayers under rules now being imposed by President Barack Obama’s unilateral amnesty. The illegals will get work-permits and Social Security cards, and will be required to pay taxes, according to Cecilia Munoz, the former    ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: Questions For The Nominee

A Constitutional Attorney General or another Eric Holder? Within hours of realizing that his party lost control of the U.S. Senate last week, President Obama nominated Loretta Lynch, the chief federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, N.Y., and an outstanding and apolitical professional, to be the next attorney general. The current   ... MORE

More Like A Banana Republic Dictator Than A Lame Duck

by Thomas Sowell.    Just what happened last week on election day? And what is going to happen in the years ahead? The most important thing that happened last week was that the country dodged a bullet. Had the Democrats retained control of the Senate, President Obama could have spent his last two years in office loading the federal judiciary   ... MORE

The Financial Costs of Illegal Immigration

from National Center For Policy Analysis.     Over the course of a lifetime, 11.5 million illegal immigrants granted amnesty would receive $9.4 trillion in government benefits after paying just $3.1 trillion in taxes. Many people believe that illegal immigrants receive little government welfare, but that is not the case, contends David Inserra,      ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene

Insights derived from wisdom.     The great boxing champion Joe Louis once said about one of his opponents, who was known for his speed: "He can run but he can't hide." In the Congressional elections this year, many Democrats are running away from Barack Obama, but they can't hide their record of voting for Obama's agenda more than 90 percent   ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene

Musings of a genius.    What a non-judgmental society amounts to is that common decency is optional — which means that decency is likely to become less common. The biggest issue in this fall's election is whether the Obama administration will end when Barack Obama leaves the White House or whether it will continue on, by appointing federal    ... MORE

John Stossel: Immigration Is America

Guess who built this country?   Conservatives rightly point out that America is a nation of laws. No one should be exempt. That's why many oppose amnesty and other paths to citizenship for illegal immigrants who are here now. "If they want to be in America," the argument goes, "they ought to return to their own countries and apply for a visa      ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene

Observations of a wise man.   I don't know why we are spending our hard-earned money paying taxes to support a criminal justice system, when issues of guilt and innocence are being determined on television — and even punishment is being meted out by CNN's showing the home and address of the policeman accused in the Ferguson, Missouri     ...
