    Quietly slipping through the legislative process, at least until lately, is the latest incarnation of the Immigration Reform Bill, called Immigration Legislation S-9. This is still nothing but an amnesty plan and a give away of America. This plan cheapens citizen ship by giving it to virtually anyone who can get to U.S. Soil and seek it. Senate Minority Leader John Boehner has called this bill a "piece of shit" and while the words are strong, they re descriptive. This more than can be said of the full name of S-9 as sponsored by Senator Harry Reid. It is called...

    CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - A gang of gunmen killed an off-duty U.S. airman and five other people early today at a bar in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez. Authorities say four other men were killed outside an elementary school in another part of town. That raises to 30 the number of homicides in Ciudad Juarez in just four days. There was no immediate information on a motive for the early morning attack at the Amadeus bar, which also left a seventh person wounded. But Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for prosecutors in northern Chihuahua state, says the methods bore...

    Uncontrolled mass immigration had been a deliberate, covert policy to change the country’s demographics, according to the Sunday Times. Labour's “open door” immigration policy knowingly risked allowing dangerous people to settle in Britain unchecked. This is revealed by documents of the Home Office, seen by The Sunday Times, which also mention Bulgarian organized criminal groups. “The Whitehall correspondence, which was illegally withheld by the Home Office for four years, shows how ministers were told by the country’s most senior immigration official that his staff were to be “encouraged to take risks” when granting visas, work permits and extended residency to...

    Intelligence agencies intercepted communications last year and this year between Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who is accused of shooting to death 13 people at Fort Hood, Tex., and a radical cleric in Yemen known for his incendiary anti-American teachings. But federal authorities dropped an inquiry into the matter after deciding that the messages warranted no further action, government officials said on Monday. Major Hasan’s exchanges with the cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, once a spiritual leader at a mosque in suburban Virginia where Major Hasan worshipped, indicate that the authorities were aware of Major Hasan before last Thursday’s deadly rampage, but did...

    The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today repudiated online remarks by a former Virginia imam praising Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who allegedly killed 13 people and wounded 29 others in a shooting spree last week at Fort Hood in Texas. The posting on the web site of Anwar al-Awlaki called Hasan a "hero" and said American Muslim groups, like CAIR, that condemned the Fort Hood attack are "hypocrites" and traitors to Islam. In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said: "As American Muslims said with one voice when this cowardly attack first occurred, no ideology could ever justify...

    By “Hope & Change” has become a political slogan joke in America, though not yet so in my country Indonesia. As Obama’s Presidency unfolds, Indonesians may learn, as the Americans have, how the joke was formulated through the comedy that Obama himself staged as his way of governing. Consequently, for Obama’s supporters, the slogan has become a burden of proof. People everywhere fall into catchy wordings that don’t last in the political world. Michael Jackson’s song “Black or White” is an example of the public’s entrapment by words. The nuance of “Hope & Change “is likened to that of “Black...

    If all the adults worldwide who Gallup surveys show would like to migrate actually picked up and moved where they wanted, Gallup's Potential Net Migration Index (PNMI) suggests many developed countries could be overwhelmed and many developing countries could sit relatively empty. The Potential Net Migration Index is the estimated number of adults who would like to move permanently out of a country subtracted from the estimated number who would like to move into it, as a proportion of the total adult population. The results are based on nationally representative surveys of more than 260,000 adults worldwide. The higher the...

Nidal Malik Hasan, who had become a regular attendee of prayers at the local mosque. But some of the men who had befriended Major Hasan at the mosque said the military should examine the policies that might have caused him to snap. “Ultimately it was Brother Nidal’s doing, but the command should be held accountable,” Mr. Benjamin said. “G.I.’s are like any equipment in the Army.

On the construction site in the Trinity River bottoms, an American inspector told News 8: "If you don't speak Italian, it's going to be tough to communicate." In broken English, a man who appeared...

But while he laments the 125,000 who have recently lost their unemployment benefits (I do, too), he ignores the fact that HIS immigration policies now in place have given out 125,000 brand new work permits to foreign workers during the last month.

    A young Iraqi immigrant who cops say was run over by her dad because she'd become "too Westernized" has died of her injuries. Noor Faleh Almaleki, 20, died at an Arizona hospital on Monday after clinging to life for nearly two weeks. Her dad, Faleh Hassan Almaleki, was in jail charged with two counts of aggravated assault when he got word his daughter was dead. The 48-year-old father, who was angry that his daughter was not adhering to traditional Iraqi values, now likely faces a murder charge.

  • Govenor Sarah Palin and Illegal Immigration

    11/03/2009 3:37:32 PM PST · by Amerisrael · 64 replies · 1,063+ views
    There is still confusion over whether Govenor Palin supports amnesty for illegal aliens. In this article read at Newsbusters, Palin does support a "pathway to citizenship" for illegal aliens. But what is not clear is if she supports a pathway to citizenship only "after" they return to their country of origin. And then, get in the back of the line to come to America "legally" for citizenship. Or, if she supports a pathway to citizenship while illegals are still here. Without first requiring them to return to there country of origin. Does anyone have an answer to that question? Excerpt...

    House Democratic leaders have unveiled their health reform bill. The new bill, H.R. 3962, represents the latest iteration, and combines three separate House committees' bills. The combo mega-bill comes in at nearly 2,000 pages. And the legislation includes one eligibility verification provision — proving Joe Wilson was right. The trouble is, the immigration status check (starting on p. 228 of the bill) only applies to applicants for the taxpayer-funded insurance premium subsidy. The rest of the loopholes previously identified — assumed eligibility at enrollment in Medicaid, S-CHIP, or the so-called "public option," for instance — that will allow illegal aliens...

    Richmond, California, is a town with a lot of questions and no immediate answers following the brutal gang rape and beating of a 15-year-old girl at her homecoming dance — an attack watched by at least ten other people. Richmond — located in the East Bay area of California, about 15 miles north of San Francisco — is a poverty-stricken industrial town that few outside of Northern California heard of until this week. It has been shoved into the spotlight, and the residents are angry over the public discussion of the incident. But somebody has to be at fault, starting...

    A former Virginia Beach police officer pleaded guilty Monday to a federal conspiracy charge, admitting that he played a central role in a marriage-fraud case and then lied to his fellow officers and the FBI about it. Andrey Savelyev, a native of Russia, resigned from the force in August just before he was indicted in U.S. District Court. He became a Beach police officer in 1999 and most recently had been a detective in the 3rd Precinct property crimes unit. His arrest stems from an ongoing investigation into marriage fraud, mainly between Navy sailors and Eastern European women, and a...

    The Department of Homeland Security is gagging local law enforcement agencies around the country to protect the privacy of illegal aliens. This sort of heavy-handed micromanagement should come as no surprise to those familiar with the decades-long, multi-administrational, bi-partisan project of absolutely eliminating the principle of federalism in general and the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution in particular. This latest federal strike at this most fundamental principle of American government comes as part of a revision of an agreement between the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division and state and local law enforcement agencies. According to the updated guidelines,...
