You can build the largest fence in the world, and man it with a million border patrol agents, but if you invite hundreds of thousands of immigrants [illegal aliens] to enter the country legally every year on a “temporary” basis, and then fail to track whether or not they leave, you’ll still get a large illegal [alien]...

The Supreme Court on Monday struck down an Arizona law that requires people to submit proof of citizenship when they register to vote.

In President Barack Obama's weekly address [June 8, 2013], he makes a hard sell for the Senate to pass the immigration reform bill currently under consideration. While describing a path to citizenship, the President takes an uncharacteristically harsh stance:

Next week, the U.S. Senate is expected to begin deliberation on S.744, the Gang of Eight's secretly-negotiated bill that promises to deliver "comprehensive immigration reform." By "comprehensive," the sponsors mean giving amnesty to an estimated 12 million [to 20 million to 40 million] illegal aliens...

A proposal of amnesty does nothing to make our country safer. It does nothing to make it easier for legal residents to find a job. And it is fiscally irresponsible. So, exactly why would we do this?

For some...
