In late fall, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that will cost thousands of jobs for entry-level college students born here. At a time that our elected officials should be doing the opposite, they stick it to our guts and twist.
What have we done to deserve such an uncaring Congress? To purposely extend the number of visas to immigrants will cost exactly the number of visas they award. read on

Fifteen million citizens are out of work and 15 million people have illegally invaded our country taking jobs from citizens, duh.
Where is the rational basis for giving invaders unearned rights that should be reserved for citizens?
Are you aware that the purpose of La Raza, supported by many invaders, is to reclaim portions of our country for Mexico? Are you aware that 30 percent of all people in prison are illegal invaders? Are you aware the invaders cost the citizens $53 billion dollars for federal programs and most likely a similar cost at the state and local governments? Invaders are twice as likely to request welfare and other social services as citizens will request. read on

GOP Presidential Hopeful Mitt Romney took a hard-line position on the issue of Pres. Obama’s illegal-alien uncle during an interview with a Boston radio station. When asked if he would deport Onyango Obama who faces drunk driving charges in the Bay State, Romney said he would deport him.
Onyango Obama is Pres. Obama’s father’s half-brother. After being arrested for drunk driving, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials at first held him without bail for allegedly ignoring a deportation order from 20 years ago. Like Obama’s father, Onyango Obama is from Kenya. read on

The U.S. Secretary of Labor has warned local governments that try to crack down in illegal immigration that they cannot deny undocumented workers minimum wage, which is guaranteed under a federal law that establishes pay in both the private and public sector.
Obama Labor Secretary Hilda Solis singled out Alabama this month, reminding state officials that their new law to curb illegal immigration invalidates employment contracts for undocumented aliens who are guaranteed the federal minimum wage under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Alabama’s law took effect earlier this year and requires everyone to prove legal residency to get a job, enroll in school, register a car or rent housing. read on

A California judge has fined the owner of a popular San Diego restaurant for hiring illegal-alien workers. Michel Malecot, owner of The French Gourmet, was spared jail time but must pay $400,000 for the illegal hirings. Federal prosecutors were seeking $650,000 in fines.
Over several years, federal agents discovered that Malecot had hired 91 illegal-alien workers. read on

Consider it an illegal fringe benefit for illegal immigrants. Today, 12 states allow individuals who are in the United States illegally to pay the same in-state tuition rates as legal residents of the state without providing the same rates to others in the country who are here legally. And those states are doing it in direct contravention of federal law.
In a new paper, Heritage’s Hans von Spakovsky and Charles Stimson explain that in 1996, Congress passed–and President Bill Clinton signed into law–the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. Under Section 1623 of the law, state colleges and universities are prohibited from providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens “on the basis of residence within the State” unless the same in-state rates are offered to all citizens of the United States. read on

GOP presidential front-runner Newt Gingrich, campaigning in the early primary state of South Carolina, criticized the Obama administration for challenging state laws that combat illegal immigration.
“After years of failure on the part of the federal government to achieve border security, it is an outrage that the Obama administration would seek to block South Carolina and other states who choose to pick up the slack,” Gingrich said in Charleston after meeting with state Sen. Larry Groom, the author of the South Carolina immigration law.
“If the Obama Administration put as much energy and resources into controlling the border as it does into attacking our own states, we would have 100 percent border security by now,” Gingrich said. read on

Overshadowed by the heated issue of illegal immigration is the equally serious national security challenge created by a growing number of Mexicans seeking political asylum in the United States to escape escalating drug-cartel violence in their country.
The movement started in 2006, when Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared war on drug cartels and gangs. Tens of thousands of Mexicans have been killed and heinous acts of violence, such as dismemberments and decapitations, are on the rise. In fact, Mexican drug-cartel violence has reached epic proportions and routinely spills into U.S. border towns. Earlier this year a Texas newspaper reported that more than 13,000 people were murdered across Mexico in 2010 in disturbing and cruel ways not previously seen. read on
In what may become a landmark civil court case that may set a judicial precedent, so-called anchor babies are suing Florida’s public education officials for making them pay the higher college tuition rate charged to out-of-state students because their parents are in the U.S. illegally. read on
