The House of Representatives immigration group seems to have an immigration bill. At least in concept. We have yet to see text.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) has only been in the Senate a short time, but he knows what it takes to do the most important thing a Senator [...]
Some conservatives in this town take issue with the POLITICO’s editorial leanings. At times, present company included. However, it is a good publication. The folks who started it are among the best reporters in this town and they understand how public policy and news works. Take immigration.
A few days ago POLITICO published an piece [...]
Official political Washington, DC is politically tone deaf. The left really wants comprehensive immigration reform. This should alert conservatives, and the GOP generally, to proceed with caution.
Frankly, how much more reason do we need than the Boston terror attacks to focus on incremental reform of our immigration system? As Frank Gaffney penned last week,
It grates, right down to my adult bones, when I hear folks in my political party pandering to Americans of Hispanic descent on the immigration issue. I’m a first generation American. Immigration has never been a core issue for me. Beyond border security and enforcing current laws, we should not be tinkering with an already [...]
The weather was great here last week, although, it was in the low forties and we are starting to get in that familiar fall rhythm of overcast skies for most of the day. That is why when I read the first draft of this week’s Guest Dispatch from our friend in Miami, Arthur Freyre, my [...]
This week a good friend and law partner circulated a Teddy Roosevelt quote on immigration, reminding us why he will always be one of our greatest Presidents:
‘In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, [...]
The following few lines were posted in Facebook in response to comments from a colleague on the Obama Administration’s recent immigration policy announcement:
Cuban-Americans are not a preferred group of folks, that is something radical so-called “Latino” and “Hispanic” groups as well as the Left like to say about us.
Like most of my generation [...]
On my Facebook page this week, I chimed in on President Obama’s amnesty immigration announcement (below). I also found an excellent item by Cornell Law Professor Jacobson — Legal Insurrection Blog — that is appropriate for this discussion: “Saturday Night Card Game (Is there any scenario under which the Republican would not be [...]
I’ve seen a lot of national politicians from both political parties take a great deal of liberty with the regulatory state; however, President Obama’s immigration policy announcement yesterday takes it regulatory largesse to a whole new level. Charles Krauthanner is correct, the action is a good example of lawlessness. It will be challenged [...]
Could another Cuban migration crisis be in the offing?
There are reports in Spanish-language media that the Castro regime is going to send Obama a Christmas present tomorrow, the easing of all travel restrictions on Cubans on the island.
Whatever the regime is up to, it is most certain a response to increasing opposition on [...]
It is that time of year, the Obama Administration has dusted off the immigration policy talisman. All politics, no substance.
The POLITICO newspaper’s Arena segment touched on it today. My response:
Americans of Hispanic descent, have never been disproportionately concerned about immigration. It does not put food on the table, lower taxes, or lower gas prices [...]
The 11th Circuit reinstated a Florida state ban on travel by university students to countries listed by the Department of State as state sponsors of terrorism. The Travel Act was signed in to law in 2006 and was soon challenged by several Florida universities and the ACLU. It’s a good win. Maybe the [...]
