What or who killed all those Irish immigrants?

Was it cholera or murder? Almost 60 Irish immigrants working on a railroad project near Philadelphia in the early 1880s died. Cholera was blamed, but some skulls found the site suggests that some were victims of awful violence. The Wall Street Journal tells the story. Very interesting... Read more »

Feds subsidize Chicago and other illegal immigration sanctuaries

What sense does this make: Chicago (Cook County) and a number of other jurisdictions have policies that obstruct federal immigration law enforcement or encouraging illegal settlement. At the same time, the Justice Department is handing out millions of dollars to the same jurisdictions to compensate for the cost of jailing illegal aliens. The Center for... Read more »

Illegal aliens campaign against Mark Kirk

The WBEZ headline calls them “undocumented youth,” which I suppose means that they can’t prove that they’re young. Such are the distortions of language handed to us by the politically correct, like WBEZ and National Public Radio. Undoubtedly, this story will anger some conservatives, the idea that foreign nationals, not qualified to vote, are interfering... Read more »

More crap from NPR

Leave it to the tax-supported National Public Radio to see boogeymen working secretively to get Arizona’s illegal immigration reform law passed in order to make a pile of money by building and operating prisons. Here’s how NPR described the boogeymen: It was last December at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, D.C. Inside, there was a... Read more »

Your papers, please.

This has been floating around the Internet. The point is obvious, but bears repeating: Everyone–not just those suspected of being illegal immigrants, must show ID.  I’m a legal American citizen and I must show my ID when:       1.  Pulled over by the police.     2.  Making purchases on my department store credit card.      3.  When I show up...

Why doesn't Obama sue DuPage County for enforcing immigration laws?

If it is unconstitutional and odious for state and local cops to enforce federal immigration laws, then why hasn’t the Obama administration sued dozens of Chicago collar counties and towns to stop them from doing it? Suburban counties and some major suburbs here check the immigration status of anyone who has been booked, even for... Read more »

Americans favor Arizona-like illegal immigration enforcement law in their states

According to a new Rasmussen poll: Voters by a two-to-one margin oppose the U.S. Justice Department’s decision to challenge the legality of Arizona’s new immigration law in federal court. Sixty-one percent (61%), in fact, favor passage of a law like Arizona’s in their own state, up six points from two months ago... Read more »

Who's a liar? Sen. John Kyle or President Barack Obama

The Arizona senator said that in a White House meeting with Barack Obama the president said he would not secure the border with Mexico until Congress moves on “comprehensive” immigration reform. Kyle, a Republican, quoted the president as saying that if he secures the border first, he’ll never get Republicans on board for comprehensive reform... Read more »

Illegal immigrants big winners from botched Illinois health insurance program

Blago’s gift that keeps on giving Who in his right mind would be against health insurance for every child in Illinois? Certainly none of the politicians, health care providers, labor unions and special interests that in 2005 so enthusiastically bought into then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich‘s All Kids program. Certainly not tens of thousands of illegal immigrants... Read more »
