ICE to Inspector General Re 287(g): `We Fixed That`

 Newspapers across the country have hyped a report by the Office of the Inspector General that is critical of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s 287(g) program. What the papers don’t tell you is that the criticism is a bit stale.

Obama Round Two: Amnesty for Illegal Aliens

If you have not done so already, go ahead and hook up with your local Tea Party group. Find a national anti-amnesty group and subscribe to their newsletter. Join their Facebook group; “follow” them on Twitter.

You don’t have to do anything just yet. The key is to get connected to the communication network so that you know when it is time to act.

Then, when you are asked to do something, do it. Show up at a rally; send a letter to the editor; and, most importantly, vote.

It is no surprise that, after passing health care "reform," President Obama plans to move on to his next big domestic initiative: granting citizenship to more than 12 million illegal immigrants. For decades, Beltway and business elites have championed a policy of open borders and unlimited Third World immigration. Amnesty is simply its logical culmination: the triumph of political and corporate interests over patriotism.
