Dear Mr. President: It`s Just an Oil Leak
President Obama, last night you proposed that the nation embark on a new energy initiative, a bold move from fossil fuels to wind, solar and such. You suggested more government regulation including your favorite answer to a crisis, the formation of a commission. You hinted at cap and trade, the Holy Grail of the left.

Illegal But Enrolled Case a Wake Up Call for Taxpayers, Lawmakers
If you haven’t heard the story, a Kennesaw State University student—an illegal alien—was stopped on campus for a traffic infraction. Her immigration status was discovered and she was dutifully turned over to immigration officials for deportation.
After an aggressive campaign by school administrators and taxpayer-funded lawyers, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement has deferred her deportation for a year. Jessica Colotl is now back in class at KSU, a publicly funded institution:
It probably comes as a surprise to most readers to learn that Georgia colleges and universities allow those in this country illegally to register as students, but it is the truth. As we are learning, our campuses are "sanctuaries" of a sort, where certain laws that apply elsewhere no longer apply.

Smuggled Drugs Coming To Gwinnett; the Commission Yawns
Has anyone seen Chairman Charles Bannister? Didn’t think so.
"The vast majority of marijuana that is available in the United States has crossed the southern border at some point," said Cochise County, Arizona attorney Edward Rheinheimer. "The 100 pound load of marijuana that comes across the border ends up in a middle school in Atlanta, Georgia."

Race, Reasonable Suspicion and SB 1070
Opponents of the new Arizona immigration law, including President Obama, paint a wild picture of jack-booted Nazis stopping innocent folk on the street for no reason but their race, to demand their “papers.” The critics– either ignorantly or knowingly– criticize a legal principle that is well established in law and court precedence.
Nothing new is happening in Arizona.

Stuck Inside the Box: My Dissent to the Engage Gwinnett Report
The 94-page final report of the Engage Gwinnett committee is now online. It details the findings and recommendations of the citizen committee (of which I was a member) that examined Gwinnett County’s finances for over six months.
Despite our herculean efforts, I believe that our work product has serious deficiencies. In a nutshell, we nitpicked county departments while missing the bigger picture. We strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel. We didn’t see the forest for the trees. You get the point. Read more…

Thank You, La Raza!
Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies highlights one the most important aspects of the aggressive enforcement of immigration laws: perception is reality. Whether or not a law is enforced to the hilt is not always as important as the publicity that it receives:
Be all that as it may, I think the biggest impact of the new law won’t actually be in its implementation; rather, the hyperbolic fear-mongering by the bill’s opponents will actually amplify its effect far beyond anything the sponsors could have wished for…. But if the thing had been passed and signed with little fuss, it wouldn’t have half the attrition effect it’s going to have. So my advice to the open-borders folks: Fear-monger away!
