“We decry hostility and discrimination towards immigrants as antithetical to the traditions and interests of the country. At the same time, we disagree with those who would label efforts to control immigration as being inherently anti-immigrant. Rather, it is both a right and a responsibility of a democratic society to manage immigration so that it serves the national interest.”* Does an influx of illegal aliens constitute an invasion?
* If this is an invasion, what does the Constitution require the federal government to do?
* What are the consequences of referring to the masses of illegal aliens as invaders?
A reader sent me an email about the influx of illegal aliens on our southern border. The question of whether or not this constituted an invasion and thereby requires a response by the federal government under Article IV, Section 4, is one which is worth our taking a closer look. Not only the question of does this constitute an invasion, but what are the consequences of such a point of view? Continue reading
Over my entire adult life, the illegal immigration problem has plagued America and been a bone of contention between the parties, but never has it arisen to this degree of blatant disregard for U.S. law.
What if a significant tool in the hands of law enforcement and prosecutors was allowed to expire when a legislative fix was possible?
As the Senate debates the Build Back Better Act (H.R. 5376), a little-noticed part of the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) cost estimates show the bill’s amnesty provisions create an enormous net fiscal burden (taxes paid minus costs) that starts out large and grows even larger over time — $124 billion in the first decade after passage and $359 billion in the second. The total net fiscal cost of the bill’s amnesty provisions over 20 years is $483 billion. The CBO also states that the bill would increase the deficit “by larger amounts in the subsequent decade.” A brief Center for Immigration Studies analysis of the CBO estimates can be found here. 
Recently while driving from town to my house, I was running through some radio stations when I landed on the Glenn Beck show. His guest was Lara Logan, a journalist and commentator unfamiliar to me, and I was sickened and horrified by what I heard. I wish I were exaggerating, but what that woman had to say left me depressed for the rest of the day.
20 Governors sent a letter to Pres. Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, urging them to take immediate action to end the ongoing border crisis and noting the impacts that the crisis has on state resources.
The situation along the United States-Mexico border worsens as the Biden Administration continues to hold up a vacancy sign to the world. The humanitarian crisis that is happening because of President Biden’s dereliction of duty is coming to a neighborhood near you.
We may not know the full cost of Biden’s immigration “policy” for another few years, but whatever it amounts to over the next decade, it’s already cost too much in the here and now, when we consider its true purpose is to end our republic as we know it. 
As the number of migrants illegally flowing across the U.S. southern border accelerates, the Biden administration is running out of facilities to house these illegals and has decided to charter flights to fly them up to states on the northern border. Read that again. 
Back in 1986 I read a book by Sol Sanders called Mexico: Chaos on Our Doorstep. It went into many of the problems this country has had with Mexico over the decades. There was one particular chapter that dealt with the immigration problems with Mexico, chapter 7, entitled Mexicans for Export. This dealt with population problems in Mexico and why so many Mexicans end up in this country, although the problem back then pales into insignificance compared to what we deal with today on our Southern border.
