Can Barack Obama answer this? - 2/25/2007

Please go to Barack Obama's campaign appearances and try to ask him the question on the video (reprinted below). The media isn't going to ask politicians any difficult questions, so it's up to us to do it. Note that the same question applies to others who spoke at the May 1 rally: U.S. Reps. Rahm Emanuel, Jan Schakowsky, and Luis Gutierrez.

Open borders libertarian loon invades Pandagon! - 2/21/2007

Pandagon isn't just the place where Amanda Marcotte fights the g****** patriarchy. It's a group blog, and another poster there, one Chris Clarke (see his first post for his bio), offers "Trashing the border". I don't know if he's a libertarian or just a delete-the-border type, but he's as loony as either: Let me say this up front to piss off the Malkinites: I�...

New York Times' worst immigration editorial ever: "They Are America" - 2/18/2007

The New York Times offers the unsigned editorial "They Are America". It takes up two whole screens, and pointing out all the problems in it would extend to novel length.

... group indirectly linked to the Mexican government (that is not, of course, disclosed). And, CBS 11 TV has a running feature apparently not specifically associated with this report entitled "Slideshow: I Want To Know More About Immigration Reform".

LULAC, MALDEF, ACLU, business groups fight Texas immigration bills - 2/16/2007

A new, apparently unnamed coalition has been formed in Texas to fight state bills designed to reduce illegal immigration. The coalition is using the standard pretext that immigration is a federal responsibility. Of course, they realize that the feds have abrogated their responsibilities; were the feds to enforce the laws, they would push for more local control.

Comments too hot for the Sacramento Bee (part 2) - 1/07/2007

I left the following comment on the SacBee story "Health care plan facing opposition" by Aurelio Rojas. I believe I've waited long enough and I can safely say that it was not approved.

Immigration questions for Max Sawicky - 12/22/2006

Max Sawicky (of MaxSpeak) recently posted this entry which purports to smash several of the myths surrounding immigration.

Pro-illegal immigration ACLU meddling in Butler County, Ohio - 12/15/2006

Recovering useful idiot immigration test for liberals - 12/15/2006
