…this, then you’re better at understanding the arcane twistings and turnings of Congress than I am. But I do know one thing, which is that Jeff Sessions is one of the few members of Congress I respect on the subject … Continue reading →
How long has Congress been mulling over some sort of amnesty plan for illegal immigrants? A long time, certainly under several presidents, whether it’s called “amnesty” or whether euphemisms are used to substitute for the word. But there’s a reason … Continue reading →
For quite some time now we’ve been waiting for Obama’s other shoe to drop regarding amnesty. He’s been warning of us a big announcement, which most people (including me) have speculated will be to end the possibility of deportation for … Continue reading →
Why is Ed Rogers so mild and tentative here?: Nothing suggests the president wants to own, control or take charge of securing our border. He only met with Texas Gov. Rick Perry when he was shamed into doing so and … Continue reading →
