Illegal immigrant who killed nun in accident was released by feds - Washington Times

Illegal immigrant who killed nun in accident was released by feds - Washington Times This happened in Prince William County, Virginia and is poised to become a high profile immigration case, that is if the mainstream media cares to report it. This is a very tragic case and I do hope it becomes a lightning rod for immigration reform.  As tragic as it is, however, it is one of hundreds of thousands of similar cases that happen all the time across the nation.  This case and others like it highlight the desperate need for real reform that can actually solve problems, secure the borders and protect citizens. One thing that is crystal clear is that Immigration Reform needs to start with THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ENFORCING THE LAW.  Why this hasn't happened is anybody's guess.  But it needs to happen now, before more people are killed.

Comments: Memo outlines backdoor 'amnesty' plan - Washington Times

Comments: Memo outlines backdoor 'amnesty' plan - Washington Times Well, now a memo has surfaced suggesting that the Obama administration is considering a plan to give what amounts to blanket amnesty to millions of illegals by executive order. The memo lists suggestions of how to implement help for illegals without having to go through congress.  If this is the case, let's hope President Obama decides not to go with this because if he does he is in danger of seriously overreaching his presidential powers. Such action is likely unconstitutional and would not be allowed to stand.  Furthermore, if he continues to circumvent Congress in matters of legislation and appointments it will make him unpopular even with the democratic members of Congress. It also increases the likelihood of impeachment proceedings.  One wonders why he would even contemplate such a suicidal move. Sometimes it seems like he would rather be a dictator than a president. For the sake of America I hope he never considers this plan.

Now that the "secret" is out, how long do you think it will take for the Obama administration to issue a statement dismissing the whole thing? Wait for it...wait for it...

SAVE Act and CLEAR Act Can Overturn Judge Bolton's Decision on Arizona Immigration Enforcement Law | NumbersUSA - For Lower Immigration Levels

SAVE Act and CLEAR Act Can Overturn Judge Bolton's Decision on Arizona Immigration Enforcement Law | NumbersUSA - For Lower Immigration Levels Gee, what a concept. Just think, if the federal government had done its job in the first place by passing such acts as CLEAR and SAVE, Arizona would never have had to enact its controversial law, formerly known as SB1070. Who knew??

This is a great article explaining the implications of Judge Bolton's decision and what it will mean for Arizona and America. Although the most controversial items were blocked most of the law remains intact and will be enforced. And this isn't the final decision because the most controversial aspects will be reviewed to see if they are constitutional. The state of Arizona has also filed an appeal as of today. So things are still active on this front. The most important thing for all of us to do right now is contact our senators and congressmen and tell them to support the SAVE and CLEAR acts. Start now because the elections are just a few months away and a lot can happen between now and then so we need to keep up the pressure!! On the bright side, even though this seems a win for the other side right now the game is far from over. The reason they have not achieved their amnesty goals so far is because of all our hard work to keep it from happening. So let's stay strong and let's keep working towards real immigration reform!

"New York hotel pioneers birth tourism" - Patriot Update Now there's a niche market for you. A New York hotel has apparently figured out it could have a lucrative business by welcoming birth tourists, i. e. those wanting to give birth in the United States for citizenship. Click on the title for details. I am too disgusted to talk about it.

A Birthright? Maybe Not

A little history about the 14th amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1866. We need to take another look at our immigration laws. The author makes a good case for the lack of constitutionality of conferring citizenship on children of illegal immigrants. We should pay close attention to this.
