Pew Hispanic Study on immigration and jobs: what it really means - 08/12/06

Inside the Open Borders mindset - 08/31/05

The following comment came in to this thread about Orrin Hatch's anti-American DREAM Act recently. It was posted from a small college in California's Central Valley. It was all uppercase, which I've converted to lowercase: No one should beg for anything or even beg those racism people like those who make comments in this web site who all they care about is them self and not about others who need some help.

Article promoting anti-American DREAM Act covers some downsides - 08/28/05

The article "Tests illegals can't pass" is yet another article promoting Orrin Hatch's anti-American DREAM Act. That Act would give discounted college educations to illegal aliens.

Get out your hankies, here comes a PIIPP - 05/08/05

The NY Daily News is a repeat offender, having published other PIIPPs ("pro-illegal immigration puff pieces") in the past. Their latest ("Best & brightest in bind") starts with this: Carlos will graduate with honors from Brooklyn College next month with a mathematics degree. It's a subject he loves and hopes to teach one day to elementary school students... The tear-jerking story goes on to explain that he's "undocumented", and thus won't be able to find a job.

The PIIPP to end all PIIPPs - 09/01/04

As you'll recall, a PIIPP is a "pro-illegal immigration puff piece." It must advocate for illegal immigration and the person to whom we're to feel Sally Struthers-level sympathy for must appear in the first sentence. And, I believe I've spotted the PIIPP to end all PIIPPs in the New York Times.

PIIPP spotted by accident - 08/05/04

Which candidate is less "American"? - 08/01/04

Or, to put it a few other ways: Which candidate is less of a "populist?" Which candidate is less likely to relate to "average Americans" and share their concerns? To state it cynically, which candidate is slightly less likely to sell the rest of us out to global elites? And, which candidate makes you yearn more strongly for a viable third party? Bush tries to present a cowboy image, and many people buy it whether they consider "cowboy" a good thing or not. Kerry tries to present a tres sportif image.

CNN announces new press release service - 03/29/04

CNN has a new feature, and it's free! If you send CNN your press release, they'll weave it into a news story, even if they had a reporter there to report on it himself. Such a deal! Of course, there are a few restrictions. First, your press release must be from a far-left group promoting an "action." Like, oh, say, harrassing Karl Rove chez lui. See 'Group protests outside Rove's house'.

Karl Rove meets his new "voters" - 03/28/04

This is funny, annoying, disturbing, heartening, and shocking all at the same time: Several hundred people stormed the small yard of President Bush's chief political strategist, Karl Rove, yesterday afternoon, pounding on his windows, shoving signs at others and challenging Rove to talk to them about a bill that deals with educational opportunities for immigrants [sic: it should read "illegal immigrants" -- LW]...

Bush admits: "I was wrong about amnesty." - 01/10/04

In a shock admission just released by the White House, President Bush announced that he had changed his mind completely on his recent proposal that would give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. "After much deliberation, I've decided to change my mind about my recent proposal," Bush stated. "I realize that the United States is a country of laws, and I refuse to support and encourage law-breaking. Furthermore, any form of amnesty will act to the detriment of the millions of people around the world who have been patiently waiting for legal immigration for many years.
