| Barack Obama is set to make a new push for immigration reform - and hopes to solve a number of tricky issues at once. The U.S. President plans to introduce a comprehensive reform bill which will enable illegal immigrants to earn citizenship, attract highly skilled workers and establish a guest-worker programme for temporary immigrants. The immigration agenda represents a significant political risk for Mr Obama, who is also battling with Congress over gun control and fiscal policy. However, the President may seek to demonstrate the importance of the issue by featuring it as a key part of his State of

If you don´t enforce then nothing will work. Good laws or bad laws, ones or foolish, it won´t matter.

We all know the Republicans in Congress will fold and agree. They don´t want to accused by the Democrats and the msm of being racists. The hell with the Constitution. We´re screwed. Time to start at another party and let the moderate Republicans join the Democratic party it´s where they feel most comfortable.

I´m assuming that if the national government says there are 11 million illegal immigrants in the country, it means there are 22 million or more.
The United States is bankrupt, how are we to stretch welfare benefits to cover another 22 million people?

If the wimpy Republicans ever go along with any sort of liberal Democrat amnesty that allows the 12-20 million illegal aliens here now to eventually become affectively dual-nationals, by keeping their home country citizenship while being granted US citizenship with US voting rights, the wimpy Republicans will have committed long-term political suicide by handing the liberal Democrats tens of millions of new voters in the years ahead.
Most illegal aliens are poor low wage earning generally uneducated people from socialist oriented countries. Those people are easily influenced by the many very liberal ethnic and immigrant rights groups, politically allied to the liberal Democrats, that operate mainly in ethnic and immigrant communities. Through those community organizing groups the liberal Democrats promise those communities all sorts of government benefits, rights, and social programs to the extent that the liberal Democrats will always be able to out bid the Republicans for the vast majority of votes cast by those population groups.
Once legalized those many millions of former illegal aliens would gain the right under any liberal Democrat amnesty to over time bring tens of millions of their foreign relatives into the USA under family reunification provisions of the immigration laws who would eventually end up for the most part as liberal Democrat voters.

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
