Over at Herman Cain's spectacular website, Cain TV, Clark Barrow lists out 16 reasons that Donald Trump is right about illegal immigration in America today. Barrow took the list of 16 from a recent Newsmax article that gave clear and convincing support to the idea that Trump was being railroaded for being honest. The simple fact of the matter is that while many of us may not have appreciated "the way" that Trump communicated his thoughts on illegal immigration, the man is not wrong about the basic ideas he was trying to express. Illegal immigrants are a burden on our...

<p>The young American-born wife of escaped drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is a former beauty queen who married the billionaire cartel boss as a teen.</p> <p>Guzman, 60, met his small-town bride, Emma Coronel Aispuro, in 2006, when she was just 17.</p>

“Neither the government nor priests can handle El Chapo” was a warning sent by Joaquin Guzman (El-Chapo) to what he considered his two biggest threats at the time: Christian priests and the government. To ensure he was taken seriously, the note accompanied two corpses: soldiers that he arranged to be killed so everyone gets the message: you need to fear the drug cartel of Sinaloa, especially the infamous El Chapo. The message was sent in response to Hector Gonzalez, the archbishop of the northern state of Durango, who raised fears of attacks on the clergy. Indeed, according to the Catholic...

He was part of the team that helped put one of Mexico's most violent drug lords behind bars – the same one who escaped from a Mexican maximum-security prison over the weekend. Tuesday, KOB talked to Michael Vigil, a former DEA agent from New Mexico who investigated Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman for years. Vigil says Guzman's escape is not good for the U.S., especially our state. He says Guzman wants to push out the Juarez Cartel and push more heroin through New Mexico. "Chapo Guzman has taken over that area and he controls most of the routes into the United...

Texas Senator and Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) argued “the Democratic Party supports illegal immigration” on Tuesday’s “On the Record” on the Fox News Channel. Cruz said that sanctuary cities were a “persistent problem” where “you’ve got, often Democratic, mayors who are elected from the far left and who decline enforce the law. Now, it varies in terms of how brazen it is. It’s not always as brazen as San Francisco is, but it’s a problem when you have cities that are in the control of the Democrats and don’t want to follow the law.”

A leading member of the liberal media is trying to link Donald Trump‘s presidential campaign to an outrageous murder allegedly committed by an illegal immigrant. Raven-Symoné Pearman of ABC’s “The View” showed her conspiratorial side when she told her co-hosts that the murder of Kate Steinle, 32, by an illegal alien in San Francisco might have been connected to, if not orchestrated by, Trump’s campaign. According to The Wrap, the newest co-host of ABC’s daytime talk show started explaining her theory by weighing in on why she thinks Trump is running for president. Apparently it’s all a vast conspiracy to...

<p>SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The parents of a woman shot to death on a San Francisco pier said Monday in a cable television news interview that they support a proposal to give mandatory prison time to deported people who return to the U.S. illegally.</p>

The Democrat-Media Complex have just told us what they fear the most as an issue in the 2016 election: President Obama’s plan to “fundamentally transform” suburbia (as explained today by Jeannie DeAngelis). This is an issue that literally hits voters where they live, by using the denial of federal funding to override local control and force communities to provide low-income housing distributed to approved minority groups. Investor’s Business Daily reports that all three broadcast networks ignored the story that affects their viewers more directly than almost any other issue. The Big Three news networks all punted on covering one of...

FULL RAW UNEDITED Donald Trump California Press Conference with the families of people killed by illegal aliens.

The gun used by illegal alien Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez in what he claims was an accidental fatal shooting of a woman on San Francisco’s Pier 14 on July 1 has been determined to have been stolen from an unidentified Bureau of Land Management agent. Sources told the San Francisco Chronicle that the .40-caliber pistol was the agent’s personal firearm and had been stolen from his automobile not long before the shooting. Sanchez claimed that he found the gun wrapped in a T-shirt while sitting on a bench at the pier. “So I picked it up and ... it started...

In the aftermath of the escape of famed capo Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Leora, a Mexican bishop has made headlines by arguing for a statue built in honor of the drug lord.

Let's examine the issues rationally, and see who actually understood the Age of Reason.Last March, California Governor Jerry Brown declared that those who wished existing federal immigration law to be enforced — in the manner that would have saved the late Kate Steinle from a five-times deported, seven-times released felon illegal alien – were: [A]t best … troglodyte, and at worst … un-Christian. In California, if one assumes that the law as written should be followed, one is dubbed either a cave-dweller or an apostate. Meanwhile, sophisticated non-troglodytes in San Francisco have a sheriff — with a criminal record of...

A very recently-retired federal agent who played a leading role in the capture of “El Chapo” 16 months ago said that U.S. officials knew of possible prison escape plans by associates of El Chapo, practically from the time he was back in prison. "There was always chatter that there was going to be a breakout plan," the source, an ex-DEA agent, told ABC News. The source said that U.S. law enforcement would regularly pass on credible intelligence to Mexican officials, but that did not appear to help prevent Saturday night's escape. The source was “saddened but not surprised” by the...

Since 2014, U.S. federal agents learned of various plots by Mexico’s most famous drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and his people to bust out of prison. The U.S. government shared that information with Mexico yet the capo still managed to escape. Last summer, the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration learned that El Chapo’s son Ivan Archibaldo Guzman had hired people with Mexican military backgrounds in order to plan an escape, the Wall Street Journal reported. Citing unnamed sources within the Justice Department, the publication mentions that another plot involved bribing prison employees into helping Guzman Loera escape. The Wall Street...

RUSH: Now, there are other factors, too, in presidential races that are impossible to account for. You never know how somebody's gonna come off to others on TV, for example, which is a big deal. You don't know what's gonna happen in debates. I don't know if there's gonna be a dark horse. Nobody knows what's really gonna become of Trump, how long Trump's gonna hang in. The media's obsessed with Trump right now. They're obsessed. They're convinced that Trump's destroying the Republican Party -- which they want, by the way. They would love nothing better than for that to...

Tom Tancredo thinks Donald Trump has taken his anti-immigrant rhetoric a bit too far. The real estate mogul and 2016 presidential hopeful “needs to be a little bit more artful,” Tancredo told the Denver Post. When asked whether he supports Trump’s stance on immigration, though, Tancredo responded, “God, yes.” . . “He should take lessons from me on how to talk to the press. For a small fee — no, actually for a very large fee — I will help him out. You’ve got to learn how to talk about it, which takes years of practice, which God knows I’ve...

Mexican authorities searched frantically on Monday for the notorious drug kingpin known as "El Chapo" — but there was no sign of him more than 24 hours after his astonishing, elaborate escape from a maximum-security prison. In a devastating embarrassment for the Mexican government, the kingpin, Joaquin Guzman, slipped into a shaft through the shower floor of his prison cell and got away in a mile-long, ventilated tunnel outfitted with a motorbike. "This is like capturing Osama bin Laden, having him spend a year in prison, and then walking away from that prison only to re-engage in his terrorist activities,"...

Timothy Egan, liberal New York Times reporter turned left-wing Times columnist, filed "Not Like Us" for Saturday's paper, portraying the Republican field as avidly chasing the "red-faced" "immigrant-hatred vote," calling out not only Donald Trump but Ted Cruz, a Cuban-American. But first, Egan unveiled a supposedly clever historical sleight of hand designed to shame conservatives: They were criminals -- thugs and thieves -- a single ethnic group that filled the jails of big cities. “Scum unloaded on American wharves,” one speaker in Philadelphia said of them. Dirty, filthy, foreign. As for their children, they were “utterly ignorant of a place...
