Cutting through the turbulent waters of blog commentary and analysis.

The Washington Times has an article today that usefully illustrates why the House is being so strong in opposition to the President and the Senate’s proposed amnesty plan.  The polling has been twisted around in every way possible to try to support pre-determined political choices, but when it comes down to brass tacks it turns […]

The Senate continued in its raft of modifications to the Immigration bill today by voting on some provisions relating to English.  Lots of semi-panicked reports from the Lefty Press wants to make you think they did something radical… like making English the Official Language of the United States.  If you are like many Americans you […]

President Bush tried to claim the much prized Middle Ground in his speech on Immigration Monday night by largely supporting the Senate’s version of Immigration Reform.  Both parties are trying to seem like they care both about security and providing an amnesty to untold millions of illegal immigrants that isn’t an amnestly because… well because […]

The bitter arguments of the past […]

The many thousands of Latinos out protesting and demanding action to give them legal sanction and/or citizenship are tools being used for election year politics.  Haven’t you been wondering, why now?  This all could have happened last year, or the year before.  Why now?  Because its an election year and the Democratic party and its […]

Should We Annex Mexico?

The political reality seems to be that we will never be able to muster the determination to protect the huge southern border, so instead why not annex Mexico?  Here’s Glenn Reynold’s points in favor:

So maybe we’ve been thinking about this the wrong way. Instead of worrying about Mexicans invading America, maybe what we […]
