McCain is now a supporter of border security and… the fence???

12 May, 2010 (00:30) | Crime & Punishment, Immigration, Politics | By: ricjames

Via HotAir we have a vid of a John McCain ad touting his support of border security and – seriously – the border fence: So Senator “Jam-Amnesty-Down-America’s-Throat”, Senator “I’ll build the g-ddamned fence if they want it” is the go-to guy on matters of border security and he’s perturbed that the border fence hasn’t been [...]

23 June, 2009 (22:24) | Crime & Punishment, Immigration, Law, Politics | By: ricjames

Excuse me? But now some Latino leaders want illegal immigrants to boycott the national survey, claiming that being counted — but not represented — isn’t fair. “It doesn’t make any sense, in some way it is immoral that we are counting 12 million undocumented immigrants who have no benefit at all financially speaking,” said Rev.

22 April, 2009 (10:26) | GWOT, Immigration, Religion | By: ricjames

Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air has a post that’s just mind-boggling. In an interview this past weekend on CNN, Janet Napiolitano – the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security – explicitly stated to CNN’s Larry King that for a foreigner to cross the border of the United States outside the processes of our [...]

Bush commutes the sentences of Border Patrol agents that shot a Mexican drug runner

19 January, 2009 (21:44) | GWOT, Immigration, Politics | By: ricjames

The two Border Patrol agents were, in my view, doing their jobs when they intercepted a Mexican national engaged in smuggling drugs into the United States. They stopped him and, as he was trying to make a run for it, they shot him. In the ass. Literally. For this, they were tried and convicted then [...]

As part of a strong immigrations policy, we need to be able to control the flow of incoming foreigners such that people who have violated our laws before don’t get back in to do it again. This has long been one of the pillars of my own immigrations reform suggestions since a firm control of [...]
