Obama admininstration prosecuting illegal aliens at greater rate than Bush admin (up 110% from 2004) - 9/21/2009

Daphne Eviatar of the George Soros-funded Washington Independent tizzily offers "Immigration Prosecutions Up 110 Percent From 2004" (washingtonindependent.com/60323/immigration-prosecutions-up-110-percent-from-2004); expect other far-left groups to go ballistic over the fact that the Obama administration is prosecuting illegal aliens in greater numbers than the Bush administration did un...

I'm proud to have opposed both two major recent U.S. personality cults - 9/02/2009

Due to it being played in a classroom in Utah, the creepy, seven month-old pledge video made by a group of B-list celebrities to Barack Obama is making the rounds again. The original video is here, and an answer video I made about it is attached. While the exact circumstances are quite unimportant, Jay Nordlinger and others at National Review are apparently upset about the (original) video. Accord...

Obama budget ends SCAAP, just like Bush did (reimburses states for illegal alien incarceration) - 5/08/2009

Barack Obama's budget has no funding for SCAAP, the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program. That reimburses states for their cost of incarcerating illegal aliens, and it will supposedly save $400 million. And, not funding that program is something that Bush tried to do in each year of his presidency; Congress rebuffed the previous illegal immigration-supporting president's attempts. Tha...

"W, The Legacy of George W. Bush" flying off shelves - 1/26/2009

If ever a case could be made for book burning, a very strong contender for Exhibit One would be "W, The Legacy of George W. Bush", a new magnum opus from the Washington Times (washingtontimes.com/store/bush). Available for the remarkably high price of $31 after shipping, "this compelling coffee table styled book... is packed with gripping pictures and stories all beautifully present...

Bush commutes sentences for Ramos/Compean (not a pardon) - 1/19/2009

George W Bush has commuted the sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who were convicted of having shot a later-convicted drug smuggler in 2005. Note that he did not pardon them, so felony convictions will remain on their records. The exact motivation for this is unclear; Bush could have taken action any time over the last couple of years. Perhaps Bush had a last minute change of heart, or p...

Bush: "Republicans don't like immigrants" might be "fair or unfair", but that's their image - 1/12/2009

... our beloved quisling president George W Bush stabbed the Republican party in the back even stronger than he has in the past, at least verbally [1]: ...But the party's message has got to be that different points of view are included in the party. And - take, for example, the immigration debate. That's obviously a highly contentious issue. And the problem with the outcome of the initial ...

Bush pardons man convicted of conspiracy to harbor and transport illegal aliens, but not Ramos and Compean - 12/23/2008

President George W Bush today pardoned nineteen people and the full list is here: usdoj.gov/opa/pr/2008/December/08-crm-1148.html Two people not on the list are Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean; pardoning them would send the wrong message: that our borders have meaning. However, showing exactly where his loyalties lie, one of those pardoned was convicted of conspiracy to harbor and tra...

Bush smears illegal immigration opponents (12/18/2008 edition) - 12/20/2008

... can't-leave-too-soon president George W Bush spoke at the American Enterprise Institute convocation and said [1] the following (via this): ...And I'm a little concerned about the tone of the immigration debate, labeling our party as "anti"-people. It's one thing to say they want the border enforced, and I understand that. But if a group of people think that a political p...

Bush to ease H-2A agricultural "guest" worker program; pulls plans from DOL site - 12/11/2008

From this: [Pending Bush administration rules would make] controversial changes to the so-called H-2A guest-worker program [that] could cut wages and speed worker recruitment. They also would relax requirements for providing foreign workers with housing and transportation. A Labor Department spokesman said Wednesday night that the final rules would be made public Thursday and published in the Fede...

SPP North American Leaders Summit April 21, 22 in New Orleans - 4/20/2008

The fourth annual "North American Leaders Summit" - part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership started by George Bush - will be held Monday and Tuesday in New Orleans and will be attended by Bush, Felipe Calderon of Mexico, and Stephen Harper of Canada. Expect the news reports about the event to be credulous. Speaking of which, Norma Greenaway of the Canwest News Service/Ottawa Citi...

Michael Rubinkam/AP offers yet more "crops rotting in the fields" propaganda - 3/24/2008

Michael Rubinkam of the Associated Press offers yet another in the long line of "crops rotting in the fields" articles, which are propaganda designed to support an immigration amnesty and/or "guest" worker program. In the current case (link), it concerns the Keith Eckel, owner of Fred W. Eckel Sons Farms Inc. who says he's going to switch from tomatoes to mechanically-harv...

Senate immigration amnesty bill: the supporters - 5/21/2007

Outside a number of Senators, there aren't too many who support the Senate's immigration amnesty/"guest" worker plan. This post will keep track of them, and I urge everyone to hold those below accountable whether the bill passes or not. I also urge everyone to keep calling Congress, but, even more importantly, follow the steps previously outlined to help stop amnesty. The suppo...

George W. Bush, Raul Grijalva support "comprehensive immigration reform" together - 4/26/2007

Yesterday, Bush met with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, including former MEChA member Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), who says: "As much as I malign the president, I thought he was receptive... He was engaged in the conversation, asked questions and continued to make a commitment to comprehensive reform... ...We support [the Flake-Gutierrez STRIVE Act] very strongly, and we support ...

Bush border buggy back Monday in Yuma (fence photo op) - 4/08/2007

In May of last year, America's beloved president (George W. Bush) visited Yuma in Arizona to announce "Operation Jump Start", whereby National Guard troops would assist the Border Patrol with their mission. The photo above comes straight out of his scrapbook of his fun vacation. On Monday, he's returning to the border to see how things are going and (possibly on the directive ...

Rob Allyn is a "longtime Bush family adviser"; Foreign Agents Registration Act? - 12/23/2005

Rob Allyn heads the Texas company Allyn & Company which will be trying to burnish Mexico's image and thereby support their attempts to send us their unwanted citizens. It shouldn't be any surprise that Allyn has links to Our Leader. In fact, he's described here as a "longtime Bush family adviser". For instance: the Allyn Co. also worked during the 2000 Republican p...

The Messianic President - 10/16/2004

NYT magazine offers "Without a Doubt", a ten-screen discussion of Bush and how his faith motivates his decisions. It's from Ron Suskind, the author of "The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O'Neill". Suskind was the senior national-affairs reporter for The Wall Street Journal from 1993 to 2000. Some will denounce this as a ...

Guess the candidate (Bush appealed to Hispanics using Mexican flag, omitted guest worker plan from English-language side of site) - 9/25/2004

Dana Milbank in the WaPo writes about a certain candidate's web site. Can you guess which candidate he's referring to? On the [CANDIDATE'S] campaign's Spanish-language Web site, prominent display is given to a translation of [THE CANDIDATE'S] Jan. 7 speech proposing an immigration plan involving "guest workers." But the speech was mysteriously missing from the [...

"Immigration issue yanked off GOP agenda" - 8/31/2004

Newsday has a report similar to, but not as good as, the one in the previous post: Even as Michael Bloomberg heralded New York's diversity Monday, President George W. Bush's controversial plan to put in place a temporary worker program is getting no major billing at the Republican National Convention. The party's platform that was formally adopted by delegates at the Republican Nati...

Bush rebuffed by "Latinos" - 7/09/2004

President Bush hasn't learned: President Bush made a pitch for his proposed temporary worker program before the nation's largest Hispanic rights group on Thursday. Bush, via satellite, addressed the League of United Latin American Citizens convention in San Antonio. Bush proposed allowing legal and illegal immigrants to work in the United States under renewable three-year permits... ...

Bush has forgotten the Alamo - 3/06/2004

The Alamo was stormed 168 years ago today. That's a long long time, and George Bush has obviously forgotten all about it: A text of President Bush's joint news conference with Mexican President Vicente Fox on Saturday... BUSH: Hola, que tal? Bienvenidos. Mr. President, Laura and I are pleased to welcome you and Marta to Crawford... I will work to ensure a system of safe and orderly migr...
