Grover Norquist is known as an anti-tax crusader, but in the coming weeks he will be just as much a pro-immigration crusader, combatting what he calls the “bitter enders” who oppose comprehensive immigration reform. Norquist says that he’s trying to counteract the effect of “a handful of radio talk-show hosts who talk loudly.” “The bitter-enders who are still responding to radio talk-show hosts from eight years ago haven’t noticed that the world has shifted from underneath them,” he says. “The people who need cover are the guys who are still voting like they were Pat Buchanan.” Advertisement Norquist’s group, Americans...

After delivering his laugh line that Bernie Sanders would make "a good candidate for president -- of Sweden," Senator Marco Rubio declared during the last Republican presidential debate on January 28th that "We don't want to be Sweden, we want to be the United States of America." More than simply saying that we do not want to be Sweden, we need to learn from Sweden's tragic mistake of becoming an open border sanctuary country for refugees from some of the most dangerous areas of the world. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency, "between 2010 and 2014 Sweden received,...

Speaking to the Associated Press on his campaign bus, Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio says that if he is elected president, he will not look to deport 12 million people in the U.S. illegally. (Jan. 29)

Gov. Greg Abbott and U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Laredo Democrat, pressed the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday to explain why the agency plans to reduce its aerial surveillance on the Texas-Mexico border. In a letter to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, the lawmakers said the cut to a requested 3,850 hours of aerial detection and monitoring in 2016 amounts to 50 percent less coverage than recent years. “Given the recent surge of migrants from Central America and Cuba along the southern border, we believe DHS should request more surveillance and security resources, not fewer,” Abbott and Cuellar wrote...

Shocking footage has surfaced online appearing to show a group of young migrants attacking two German pensioners after they stood up for a young women the men were harassing on a subway train. Recorded on a mobile phone, the disgraceful video shows the men - of Eastern European or Arabic origin - holding one man by the arms as they verbally abuse him. The second victim is seen grappling with one of the migrants, before he is held up by the neck and threatened. Munich man Tom Roth uploaded the disgraceful video to his Facebook page. He caught the footage...

To be candid, there’s not usually a line of reporters waiting to talk to Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL). But last week, with only four days to go until the Iowa caucuses, the 69-year-old glassy-eyed former U.S. attorney nearly forgot to cast his vote on a routine matter he was so busy moving from one interview to the next outside of the Senate chamber. The four-term senator is hardly a new face in the Republican Party, nor is the soft-spoken and twangy Sessions considered the party’s rising star. But suddenly, almost out of nowhere, and for reasons even he doesn’t fully...

Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, a leading voice on trade, immigration and executive powers, is urging Americans to choose their next president carefully because 2016 "is the last chance for the American people to take back control of their government." In a sober interview with Secrets, the Republican warned that liberal special interests, Wall Street moguls, and international media conglomerates are fast turning the United States into just another member of the European Union and that the effort is being led by a Democratic president eager to go his own way with executive orders. "This election is different because we have...

DES MOINES, Iowa — Donald J. Trump, a billionaire and currently the front-running 2016 GOP presidential candidate, made the case exclusively to Breitbart News on Saturday that the only way to stop Obamatrade is to elect him President of the United States. Obamatrade is the combination of and intersection between the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which passed Congress last year and greases the skids for the congressional approval of various trade deals by lowering U.S. Senate vote thresholds from 60 votes to 51 votes and killing the ability of Congress to amend those deals, and those various trade deals.

An American nanny whose body was found in her Vienna apartment died of "suffocation," authorities said, as authorities continue to look for a Gambian immigrant who was sharing the apartment. As the investigation into the death of Lauren Mann continues, her friends and colleagues have begun reflecting on her life. Police are treating the case as homicide "because third party involvement cannot be excluded," a police spokesman told NBC News. Mann, 25, who grew up in Colorado, was found dead in her Vienna apartment, with her half-naked body located on a mattress near "a considerable amount of blood," police have...

Of all the many things said about Donald Trump, what was said by Roger Ailes, head of the Fox News Channel, said it all in just two words: “Grow up!” It is amazing how many people have been oblivious to this middle-aged man’s spoiled brat behavior, his childish boastfulness about things he says he is going to do, and his petulant response to every criticism with ad hominem replies.

It has been fashionable the last two weeks to pen articles attacking Donald Trump, the front-runner in the race for the Republican Party nomination for President. "He's not a true conservative." "He's not Ronald Reagan," they said. The jury's still out on whether or not he's a true conservative, but we can agree that he is not Ronald Reagan. I would say he is more like Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln had been elected to Congress as a member of the Whig Party, but he parted company with the Whigs and joined the Republicans, when the Whig leaders wouldn't take a stand...

We are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other peoples, as well as a different understanding of society and law. - From a leaked German intelligence document. The mayor of Molenbeek, Belgium ignored a list she received, one month prior to the Paris attacks, "with the names and addresses of more than 80 people suspected as Islamic militants living in her area," according to the New York Times. "What was I supposed to do about them? It is not my job to track possible terrorists," Mayor Schepmans said. In October 2015, Andrew Parker, director general of...

On Wednesday [Hussein] will visit the Islamic Society of Baltimore, a sprawling community center...one of the Mid-Atlantic region's largest Muslim centers and describes itself as aspiring "to be the anchor of a growing Muslim community with diverse backgrounds, democratically governed, relating to one another with inclusiveness and tolerance, and interacting with neighbors in an Islamic exemplary manner."

There is something odd going on with the ratio between boys and girls in Sweden. The latest estimates suggest there are 123 boys for every 100 girls among 16 and 17-year-olds. That's an even greater imbalance than in the same age group in China. The natural "sex ratio at birth" is 105 boys for every 100 girls, according to the World Health Organization - and official statistics show that in 2014, there were 108 boys for every 100 girls among Sweden's 16 and 17-year-olds. But the country now has 123 boys for every 100 girls in this age group, according...

Sweden is one of the most welcoming countries in Europe, taking in more refugees per capita than anyone else.  But residents of at least one small town outside of Gothenburg, Sweden's second largest city, are beginning to regret that open arms policy. Mölndal is a quiet suburb of 63,000. But in the last year, more than 4,000 refugees - most of them unaccompanied minors from the Middle East and Africa - have set off a crime wave that culminated in the murder of a social worker in a refugee center that has shocked Europe. Daily Mail: The murder of social...

Obama administration officials met in Los Angeles on Friday with Mayor Eric Garcetti, local nonprofits and business owners to discuss ways to encourage immigrants to become U.S. citizens. "To launch forward we must return to our core values as Americans and even in these tough times strive to embrace our role as a nation of immigrants, a nation of dreamers, a nation of hope," Garcetti said on Twitter about the meeting, which was closed to the public. The 4 1/2-hour meeting in City Hall was part of a multi-city tour by the White House's Task Force on New Americans, which...

BOSTON (CBS) – In a predawn raid, 37 of 56 alleged members of the MS-13 gang were rounded up in Boston and surrounding communities, indicted on charges related to murder, conspiracy to commit murder and drug trafficking. The gang’s core mantra translated into English is “kill, rape, control.” Under the gang’s strict rules prospective members are required to engage in “significant violent criminal activity,” according to U.S. attorney Carmen Ortiz.

By BI: Ordinary Swedes drive a van into an affluent neighborhood and blast the loud and offensive Muslim Call to Prayer at 6:00 AM, forcing the rich to be confronted with one of the horrors of mass Muslim migration that hard-working Swedish citizens have to endure. These are the wealthy Swedes who voted for politicians that support open-door Muslim migration that has dumped more than a million Muslim migrants into this small country – resulting in soaring sexual assaults, gang-rapes, crime, and violence, not to mention an unemployable welfare class – all on the backs of middle class people…out of...

Jeff Sessions has never really been accused of being the brightest person in the Senate, but if you are someone who values a strong fighter against illegal immigration, then Sessions has been a valuable fighter for your issues. Now, in spite of years of fighting alongside Ted Cruz, whose efforts to defeat amnesty Sessions has repeatedly praised, Sessions appears set to endorse Donald Trump. This news comes after Trump has spent the last week turning his back on everything he stood for at the beginning of his campaign, specifically promising to cut deals with Pelosi and Schumer, and admitting that...

RedState managing editor Leon H. Wolf blasted stalwart conservative senator Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)80% today, writing that Sessions "has never really been accused of being the brightest person in the Senate." Sessions, who is widely esteemed as the Senate's populist elder statesman and champion of working class Americans, came under Wolf's attack because of reports that the Alabama senator "appears set to endorse Donald Trump." In the post, derisively titled "Don't Worry, Jeff Sessions, Trump Will Still Respect You in the Morning," Wolf acknowledges that Sessions is the country's definitive principled leader on the issue of illegal immigration, but he...
