In a move worthy of the best political spin artists, illegal Elvira Arellano apparently sent her 7 year-old son to Mexico City so he could beg the Mexican Congress to try to keep her from being deported from the U.S. Incredible.

Illegal Immigration, Again
In a move worthy of the best political spin artists, illegal Elvira Arellano apparently sent her 7 year-old son to Mexico City so he could beg the Mexican Congress to try to keep her from being deported from the U.S. Incredible. It’s truly moving how desperate some of these people are to stay in this…
Judges Shouldn’t Be “Lifers”
Federal Judge James Munley has temporarily denied Hazelton, PA, the right to enforce a new local law that would: Fine landlords found to be renting space to illegal aliens Close down businesses that hire them Allow legal employees to sue the businesses for employment lost during such a shutdown Sounds good to me. But says…
Lou Dobbs Thinks Illegal Immigration is Bad
Read all about it. I like this snippet: Illegal aliens are an important part of a one trillion-dollar underground economy in America, according to Barron’s.

There is also the much-discussed question of security, not from the migrant workers who are the…
Houston’s “Don’t Ask” Immigration Policy Changed
Finally. But a cop had to get killed first.
Illegal Immigration, III
Illegal immigration is fueled by the illegals’ desire to find work that pays a decent – this being a relative term, you understand – wage to provide a better life for themselves and their families and American business’ desire to cut costs. In industries like farming, dairy, etc., illegals’ lower wages can mean the difference…
