A federal appeals court upheld an injunction against President Obama’s new deportation in a rulingTuesday that marks the second major legal setback for an administration that had insisted its actions were legal. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of Texas, which had sued to stop the amnesty, on all key points, finding that Mr. Obama’s amnesty likely broke the law governing how big policies are to be written. “The public interest favors maintenance of the injunction,” the judges wrote in the majority opinion. Mr. Obama had acted in November to try to grant tentative...

MANASSAS, Va. - Prince William County's planned illegal immigration crackdown was hampered by state budget cuts, with the board of supervisors on Tuesday delaying any real action until it gets a fuller picture of the county's finances.

But they held off on authorizing an extra $2.5 million a year needed to implement it. The board also heard a report recommending that some county services - including housing assistance, drug rehabilitation for jail inmates and senior programs -...

Immigration protests are spreading across America. What is the motive? What is the agenda? From late March to early April, hundreds of thousands of illegal Hispanic immigrants reminded Americans they may yet suffer a wave of violence like that which left Paris burning and the authorities wondering why their ill-conceived invitation for Muslims to immigrate to France exploded in their faces. Worked into a rage by the "Latino" media, the Internet, and radical activists over proposed legislation on Capitol Hill to stop illegal immigration, Hispanics repeatedly stormed American streets to demand their "rights."

''Hispanics are social conservatives. Their votes can...

The Washington Post all excited today, folks because they've detected another conservative split. This not is on Terri Schiavo. This conservative split is in the debate on curbing illegal immigration. "Republican lawmakers are headed for a showdown over illegal immigration, an issue that exposes a deep and bitter rift within the GOP." You know, we do get stories, "What do the poor old Democrats have to do to regain their power?" but we seldom get stories about the "bitter rifts." They do happen. I mean, we do hear about when MoveOn.org sends a letter to the DNC saying, "You guys...

Vow comes during meeting with Mexican president in Chile SANTIAGO, Chile -- President Bush vowed Sunday to push a plan that would allow undocumented immigrants to remain in the United States as guest workers even though it appears less likely to win backing in a Congress that grew more conservative in this month's elections. Bush made the commitment during a half-hour meeting with Mexican President Vicente Fox in the Chilean capital, where the two leaders are attending the annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation conference. But neither Bush nor his aides could offer any details of where the plan stood on...
