THE INDICTMENT OF HILLARY CLINTON

Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information by using her private, unsecured server to store sensitive documents makes it look more and more as though a criminal case is being developed against her by the FBI. One by one, her campai...

I asked last March, "Just How Bad a Candidate Would Hillary Be?"  As Hillary locks up the Democrat
nomination, the question is "Just How Bad a Candidate Will Hillary Be?"   Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton may be the most pathetic presidential nominee of any major political party in our nation's history.



First dispel the myth of her husband as a consummate politician.  Bill was a flop as governor of Arkansas and as president of the United States.  Bill managed to be the only Democrat in Arkansas state history to lose re-election as governor and won two presidential elections with a minority of the popular vote.  He entered the White House with huge Democrat majorities at every level of government and left with Democrats in the minority at every level of government. 

Bill Clinton was impeached, disbarred, and found in contempt of court while president, which was a worse record of determined malfeasance than any president in history.  As an ex-president, Clinton seems frail, dull, and testy – as evidenced most recently by his snapping angrily at a veteran in South Carolina asking about Hillary ending corruption in the  Veterans Administration.

Since my article last March, the women who have been harassed, threatened, and raped by Clinton have served notice that they will not be quiet while his wife, Hillary, ignores and dismisses them.  This is a problem Hillary has never addressed but cannot ignore, as Republican candidates have made clear, in a presidential election. 

The hideous behavior of Hillary towards these women brutalized by her husband is one problem.  A related problem is the limp appeal of "women's issues" in electoral campaigns.  Consider the utter failure in the 2014 election cycle of every candidate who based a campaign on "women's issues."  Further, the failure of Hillary to attract young
women in primaries against an ancient Vermont Socialist shows how little she appeals to female voters.


If there is an issue that motivates Americans across the spectrum, it is trust, because we have been lied to so often and so cavalierly by Washington politicians.  No sane person trusts Hillary.  She not only lies even when the truth would serve as well, but she lies about telling the truth, as in her recent CBS interview.  She lies almost as much as her husband.

Compounding this pathological dishonesty are the natural consequences of aging, obesity, and health problems that strongly suggest a slowing down of her mental processes.  The ravages of immoral life and old age clearly have
reduced her husband into a very dull mind, and it is likely that many of the same abuses of youth harrowing her husband are affecting her, too.


There is another aspect to her lying.  Hillary has a very ordinary brain, artificially inflated by the left because leftists always consider those who agree with them "smart."  In college she followed the familiar path of lackey to leftism.  Hillary failed the District of Columbia Bar Examination; nearly everyone who takes it passes.  Her legal career was
constructed around her husband's political success. 


Hillary has for decades been surrounded by flacks and toadies whose work is making Hillary seem and feel intelligent.  Some of the emails released from her server note that these minions, among themselves, note that she
is often confused.  The numerous unforced errors in her campaign also suggest a rather mean old lady used to bullying rather than reasoning.  This, too, becomes over time a mental limp, a cognitive sloth, an atrophied intellect.


The stench of criminal conspiracy follows Hillary, and that is because Hillary is so utterly conspiratorial in nature, but these crimes are also so frequent that if the FBI and Justice Department does nothing, then the Justice Department itself may face future investigation – indeed, some of us may ask why we even need a department to protect criminals like Hillary. 

Finally, Hillary cannot embrace that "change" Americans want when she has been a Washington insider so long.  How can Hillary campaign for those goals in a general election when the only real selling point she has is
"experience"?  There is nothing Hillary says that is not hopelessly tired and hackneyed rhetoric, and nothing that inspires hope. 


Forget the fact that she is finally dispatching the non-Democrat running against her for the Democrat nomination, and ignore the general polls today, which mean nothing.  Hillary will be swamped this November.   

THE INDICTMENT OF HILLARY CLINTON: Will Barack Obama Protect His Protege Like He Protected His Crony Banksters???

PROTECTING AMERICA'S BIGGEST WHITE COLLAR CRIMINAL, HILLARY CLINTON, SO SHE CAN BECOME PRESIDENT AND BILLARY CAN GO ON LOOTING BRIBES THROUGH PHONY SPEECHES!



Brace yourself for the greatest prosecutorial discretion event in history


As Barack Obama finishes his final year, his attorney general, in all likelihood, will execute the greatest instance of prosecutorial discretion in the history or our nation. Prosecutorial discretion refers to the fact that under American law, government prosecuting attorneys have nearly absolute powers. A prosecuting attorney has power
on various matters including those relating to choosing whether or not to bring criminal charges, deciding the nature of charges, plea bargaining and sentence recommendation. This discretion of the prosecuting attorney is called prosecutorial discretion.


Prosecutorial discretion has also been described as a type of legal “triage.”  When the ability or capacity to prosecute is curtailed or restricted, the cases that are the most egregious are moved to the top the list, and
those less so are dismissed, thus the discretion.
(In traffic court, there are ten speeders and only the capacity to
prosecute five.  Those over the speed limit to the greatest degree are prosecuted.)


Of late, prosecutorial discretion is in high use within the illegal immigration crisis regarding the limited numbers of courts and judges.

But what indeed is required is reasoning and legal ground to employ the “discretion.”  As time passes, as the Democrat nominating convention nears, the reason that eventually will be employed for this discretion
gains weight.


Loretta Lynch has already broken the seal on her foray into the morass of  prosecutorial discretion.  She dismissed the IRS investigation.
Justice Department officials used “prosecutorial discretion” to shelter former IRS official Lois Lerner
from a grand jury after she was held in contempt of Congress. “I believe that in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, the matter was handled and was resolved,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch told the House Judiciary Committee[.]


Lerner is just the beginning.  The IRS dismissal, large enough on its own scale and importance, will be but a side event in this attorney general’s career.  For the longer the Hillary email “scandal” plays out, the more protracted the discovery and analysis by the FBI, and the deeper into the campaigning and nomination process we go, the less likely any indictment of Ms. Clinton.  It will likely involve a discretionary event by Loretta Lynch.

The more Hillary becomes the likely nominee, the greater the political aspects of the FBI’s work.  To now dethrone the Democrat nominee with an indictment is much more difficult than if it had been done after the Iowa caucus.  And the closer we get to the convention, the more distasteful and difficult any action against Hillary.

Just as Bill Clinton’s lying to a grand jury could not bring impeachment, for it would be too difficult for the country, we might just have his wife creating a very similar “difficulty” for the country.  “What would it say of our system, our country?” will be the mantra if she is indicted at the 11th hour.  The compliant media will assist in developing such reasoning and afford Loretta Lynch her justification for prosecutorial discretion and a dismissing of any charges that might prohibit Hillary from further campaigning or serving as president.


Hillary’s popularity and the “no harm, no foul” argument will be used.  And that is only if Mr. Comey goes the distance.



Brace yourself.

Think Trump Will be Tough on Immigration? Consider His Company's Use of Guestworkers

By David Seminara

CIS Immigration Blog, February 26, 2016
. . .
I combed through the government databases detailing H-2B petitions and here are some observations regarding the Trump Organization's use of H-2B guest workers:

* In petitioning for workers, employers are supposed to prove that their hiring need is "seasonal" and "temporary", yet Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club has sought to import guest workers year after year, including right now. (Their most recent petition was filed in July 2015 and the workers are on contract at the resort until May 31, 2016.)

* Trump maintained at the debate on Thursday night that the jobs he had filled with guest workers were hard to fill because they were only for 90 or 120 days. But in fact, the duration of the petitions was never just three months. The work period for Mar-a-Lago's guest workers, according to the petitions, is nearly always October 1 to May 31, which is 8 months. On other occasions, his company petitioned for even longer periods. For example, in 2009, the Trump National Golf Club petitioned for guest workers for the period January 26 through November 20.

* I note that even during the height of the recession, this and other Trump properties were petitioning for workers.

* In 2009, again, during the height of the recession, the Trump Organization used an H-2B broker called Más Labor to import workers. Más Labor extols the benefits of Mexican workers on their website, which allows employers to add guest workers to their online shopping carts. "You'll never wonder if your workers are going to show up on Monday morning and make it through a full work week," it reads. "MAS H2 workers are dedicated to their families, their work and their employers. They'll be there, ready to work hard for you. ... The only thing an H2 worker can do legally in the U.S. is work for their specified employer. ... For Mexican workers, seven to nine dollars an hour is about ten times what could be earned in most jobs at home."

Aliens and Money: Let's Look at the Big Picture
By David North
CIS Immigration Blog, February 26, 2016
. . .
The other stack of money, some $50 billion-plus, is the sum of all the remittances currently flowing out of our country every year. Much of this is untaxed earnings. With some rather minor public policy adjustments, a significant fraction of those funds, say $5-10 billion, could be caused to stay in America.
. . .
Virtually all the attention paid to these two topics is focused on the little EB-5 program — including two congressional hearings in the last few weeks.

Meanwhile, we can be grateful to Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) for calling our attention to the huge outflow of remittances. Most of these person-to-person transfers of money are from migrants, legal or illegal, to relatives in the homeland. There are also transfers of criminal moneys mixed in with these remittance flows. The latter angle is an important public policy subject, but one I leave to others.

I wrote recently about the isthmus in southern Mexico through which virtually all the Central American illegal migrants flow and which offers enforcement opportunities. There is a similarly narrow channel for the outward flow of remittances; it is through controllable bank and wire transfers. The relatively tiny sums that can be carried, or mailed, in cash or jewels or gold can be safely be ignored in a conversation about remittances.

There are two obvious ways to reduce the outflow of tens of billions of dollars from our economy, but the administration has no interest in reducing remittances by shrinking the size of the illegal alien population. The other way to reduce remittances is to use the wire and banking systems to discourage them and to tax them. But before we discuss the mechanics of such a program, let's return to Sen. Vitter's contribution.

How About a Wall in Mexico That We Pay For?
By David North
CIS Immigration Blog, February 24, 2016
. . .
The suggestion is to construct a fence along an existing railroad, now nearly abandoned, built by dreamers a little more than 100 years ago who thought that they could entice ocean-to-ocean traffic away from the about-to-be built Panama Canal and across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec instead. The dream became a nightmare when it became apparent that using the canal was cheaper and faster than unloading freight at the Gulf of Mexico end of the little railway, shipping it by rail, and then re-loading it on ships at the Pacific end of the line. One website calls it the "UnPanama".

The railway bears the Spanish initials FIT (Ferrocarril del Istmo de Tehuantepec). It runs from sea to sea in a seamless line, though not in a straight line, so it's about 190 miles long. There is a gap in the mountains at this point, which made the rail line easier to build and to maintain. Since the Isthmus is running east and west at this point, the railroad runs roughly north (the Gulf of Mexico) to south (the Pacific).
. . .
The relative ease of the construction of a fence along the FIT railway, as opposed to along the U.S. southern border, is hard to overemphasize. Here is a relatively level land route in which the railway already owns all the real estate needed for the fence. The railway itself gives instant access to the area where the fence is to be built. Construction costs in Mexico are much lower in Mexico than in the States. There would be not be ranches along the border, as there are on some segments of our southern border, where part of the land would be one side of the fence, and part on the other. The railway follows a much straighter line than the Rio Grande, and so forth.

Above all, the total length would be just one-tenth the length of our border with Mexico. This is not to suggest that we abandon efforts to strengthen our own southern border, but the FIT fence would be an extremely valuable tool in the American enforcement arsenal.

Court: DACA Aliens Can't Sue Georgia for In-State Tuition
By David North
CIS Immigration Blog, February 24, 2016
. . .
According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, several DACA beneficiaries sued the board of regents of Georgia's state university system over this issue. They were turned down by the board, by the trial court, by the appeals court, and ultimately by the state's supreme court.

The supreme court said, unanimously, that the DACA beneficiaries could not sue the sovereign state of Georgia without its own consent, deciding the case on that issue, rather than on the legal status of the aliens.

According to the NCSL this is the current status of in-state tuition for illegals:

CBP Pressies Would Rather Talk about Hoverboards Than Illegal Aliens
By David North
CIS Immigration Blog, February 22, 2016
. . .
The hoverboard incident was one of many noted in CBP releases, and the news of drug seizures seems to account for a large majority of these press items. If you read the whole set of them you will find that there are many different ways to try to smuggle drugs into the country, such as hiding them in the panels of trucks, putting them in tightly sealed bags within gas tanks or inside spare tires, and tucking them into clothing. If is often the drug-sniffing dogs that get the credit for the seizure.

Sometimes when an illegal alien who has also committed a violent crime is located CBP writes about it, but rarely the significant work it does in apprehending and/or turning back illegal aliens at the border.

From my experience I know that when a government agency releases a news item, it is something that the political leadership wants discussed. So it is clear that the DHS leadership is not interested in the detection of illegal immigration — otherwise its pressies would tell us about it.

Ambassador: U.S. Paying to Support Cuban Illegals in Costa Rica
By Kausha Luna
CIS Immigration Blog, February 24, 2016
. . .
How much is the monetary contribution being made by the U.S. government for the attention of Cubans who have not yet left Costa Rica?
I would say it is significant.
So, while the Cuban illegal aliens themselves had to pay for their transportation to the Rio Grande, the U.S. government helped pay for their accommodations while in Costa Rica and then looked on as foreign nations worked together to complete their smuggling journey north. Then, once in the U.S., they are given immediate status under the obsolete Cuban Adjustment Act, including full access to welfare benefits.

Mexican Tourists Working on California Marijuana Farms
By Kausha Luna
CIS Immigration Blog, February 22, 2016

Mexican professionals and students are coming to the United States on tourist visas to work on marijuana farms and make quick money.

An article printed in the Excelsior, a Mexican newspaper, describes a "new migratory trend towards the United States." This new trend is an unprecedented flow of English-speaking Mexicans, aged 24 to 34, who travel to the United States on a tourist visa to take advantage of the marijuana harvest season in the "Emerald Triangle". The Emerald Triangle is in Northern California, made up of Medocino, Humboldt, and Trinity counties, and is the largest cannabis-producing region in the United States and the world.
. . .
The quick money comes with risks, however. Firstly, how much money one earns depends on the demand for labor; if one isn't working then he or she is only spending money. Secondly, migrants searching for jobs on these marijuana farms are compromising their security as they trek into the mountains with people they just met, due to a job offer that may not be real. Thirdly, when it is time to get paid, it is common to be held at gunpoint and thrown off the property, or be threatened with calling the police. Finally, organized crime is starting to get a grip on this area, including Mexican cartels.

San Francisco Puts Sanctuary Before Funding
By Debra J. Saunders
Townhall.com, February 28, 2016
. . .
The Republican Congress is not of like mind. The new chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee that oversees the Department of Justice, Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, is poised to use Congress' power of the purse to withhold federal law enforcement funds from sanctuary cities. He told me, "There will be no more Kate Steinle murders, if I can help it."

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is on board. Wednesday she told the subcommittee that the Bureau of Prisons will transfer released federal inmates who are undocumented and due for deportation directly to ICE -- not to sanctuary cities, unless the sanctuary agrees only to release the inmate to ICE. Culberson had nothing but praise for Lynch "for doing the right thing."

Center for Immigration Studies Policy Director Jessica Vaughan is less impressed. She sees "a very narrow response to what went wrong in the Steinle case" that doesn't address the real problem: state and local policies of obstruction. "Most criminal aliens are in state and local custody instead of federal prison."
. . .
San Francisco stands to lose about $170,000 from the alien assistance program alone. As a believer in the rights of local governments, Culberson told me, he supports San Francisco's right to abstain from ICE enforcement. But if San Francisco chooses to release "illegal aliens" and turn them loose on the streets, "don't even ask for SCAAP funding."
. . .
That's not to say San Francisco pols don't believe in rules. When undocumented immigrant Pedro Figueroa-Zarceno, 31, announced that San Francisco police had referred him to ICE after he reported his car stolen, the force launched an investigation -- on the police, not Figueroa-Zarceno, who was facing a 2005 deportation order and was convicted of drunken driving in 2012. "It's absurd that the city is investigating the cop who did the right thing," quoth Vaughan, "instead of the illegal alien, who's here in defiance of the law."

Hillary vs. The Donald
By Patrick Buchanan
Townhall.com, February 26, 2016
. . .
On immigration, where are the polls that show Middle Americans enthusiastic about increasing the numbers coming? Where is the majority demanding amnesty or open borders?

The elites of Europe are as out of touch as America's.

Angela Merkel, Time's Person of the Year in 2015, is at risk of being dumped in 2016 if she does not halt the next wave of Middle Eastern refugees who will be arriving on Europe's shores when the seas calm in the spring in the Aegean and the Mediterranean.

If we believe the immigration issue Trump has seized upon is explosive here, look to Europe. In the Balkans and Central Europe, even in Austria, the barriers are going up and the border guards appearing.

Mass migration from the Third World to the First World is not only radicalizing America. It could destroy the European Union. Anger over any more migrants entering the country is among the reasons British patriots now want out of the EU.

America is crossing into a new era. Trump seems to have caught the wave, while Clinton seems to belong to yesterday.

A note of caution: This establishment is not going quietly.

By Attacking Trump on ‘H’ Visas Will Be Difficult for Candidates Who Support ‘H’ Visas
By Fred Bauer
National Review Online, February 25, 2016
. . .
Still, even if the hypocrisy charge might be a bit muddled, Trump’s rivals could still try to attack him on this issue. However, that task will be harder if these rivals themselves support guest-worker programs in their current state and, especially, if they support expanding them. Many proponents of guest-worker programs argue that such programs do not hurt the American worker and are good for economic growth as a whole. Thus, when attacking Trump for using guest workers, a supporter of guest-worker programs finds himself in an odd position: Mr. Trump, you’re such a hypocrite for hiring guest workers instead of Americans — but no big deal because you actually helped the American economy grow and ended up not displacing any American workers at all.

That argument falls even flatter if someone supports the expansion of guest-worker programs: Mr. Trump, you’re such a hypocrite for hiring guest workers instead of Americans. When I’m president, it will be a top priority to make it even easier for employers to do what you just did.

In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Federal Court, members of House Wreckers Local 95 alleged that, to avoid paying union employees their pension and welfare benefits, Trump (and the contractor he used for the job, Kaszycki & Sons) brought in some 200 undocumented Polish workers to demolish the Bonwit Teller building that then occupied the site of the future Trump Tower.

Marco Rubio’s Immigration Dilemma
Can he persuade conservatives that his immigration bill is really a reform?
By John Fonte
National Review Online, February 24, 2016
. . .
Chris Crane, the head of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) union, told Breitbart News that Schumer–Rubio was actually “weaker” than current law. There were over 1,000 waivers, which gave the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the power to bypass enforcement. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Council, which represents 12,000 federal employees, denounced Schumer–Rubio, declaring: “It was deliberately designed to undermine the integrity of our lawful immigration system.”

Further, the ICE Officers Council stated: “The 1,200-page substitute bill before the Senate will provide instant legalization and a path to citizenship to gang members and other dangerous criminal aliens.” Moreover, the Congressional Budget Office declared that S-744 would not stop most illegal immigration. The CBO forecast that Schumer–Rubio would reduce illegal immigration by only one-third to one-half. And the bill would almost double legal (overwhelmingly low-skilled) immigration. This is a much larger increase than under Kennedy–McCain.

Water Amnesty for Illegal Aliens in Flint, Michigan
Judicial Watch Corruption Chronicle, February 26, 2016
. . .
This one involves the widely reported water situation in Flint, which is located about 66 miles northwest of Detroit. Last year researchers discovered that the city’s drinking water was contaminated with lead from decaying old pipes. The problem arose after a switch in 2014 in the city’s water source to save money. Soon complaints mounted that the water smelled and looked strange and academic researchers discovered that it was toxic. This all occurred after a 7-1 vote by the Flint City Council to stop buying Detroit water and join a new pipeline project, according to a local news report.

Now there’s a state of emergency and the feds have stepped in, supplying the area with free bottled water and special filters to install at home until the local water supply is clean. For weeks immigrant rights groups complained that residents had to show identification to receive their free goods from the government and illegal aliens were being left out. National Spanish-language media outlets blasted the Obama administration for discriminating against illegal aliens. One reported that undocumented immigrants weren’t getting help for fear of being deported, instead opting to drink contaminated water or pay out of pocket to buy some. Another major Spanish-language newspaper wrote that illegal immigrants and their children suffered lead poisoning and couldn’t get clean emergency water because they didn’t have identification cards. “When the National Guard went door to door distributing potable water, many were scared to open because they feared the uniformed persons were immigration agents who would deport them,” the paper wrote.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which claims to combat bigotry and protect civil rights for all, joined the cause expressing “horror” and “indignation” that the government denied undocumented immigrants free water and filters because they couldn’t provide a photo ID or Social Security number. In a Spanish-language statement the group’s Michigan chapter referred to news reports that Flint-area fire department stations distributing water were requiring identification. But even in places that aren’t requiring ID, illegal immigrants are scared to come out and get their potable water out of fear that they will be deported, the ADL stresses in its announcement. “We are calling on the National Guard to order all fire departments and other centers distributing supplies that no one be rejected.”

Pope Francis Keeps Listening to the Wrong Peruvian
By Monica Showalter
Investor's Business Daily, February 19, 2016
. . .
Fact is, U.S. Americans are quite a bit kinder in their charity and in fact more generous than anyone else in admitting newcomers — one million new immigrants each year at last count.

So the slave-driver charge doesn’t exactly hold water out in the world’s hotbed of capitalism. How could Pope Francis get it so wrong?

Maybe it has something to do with which Peruvian he listens to. I’m not kidding. The best and the worst ideas from the South American continent seem to come from that country, and there’s evidence that the Pope hears only one side of the Peruvian coin. To wit, his “cordial” meetings with one Gustavo Gutierrez, S.J., known as the founder of liberation theology, an unholy mash-up of Marxism, guerrilla gun-fighting and Catholicism. For a long time, the Church frowned on the idiocy. But since Pope Francis took the papal throne, he’s apparently made the idea welcome again and met with Gutierrez more than once, reportedly on cordial terms.

The Peruvian he’s ignoring is the one who has the real answers to poverty on every continent — and he got that answer by carefully studying the history of capitalism as it is practiced in the United States, digging through dusty county clerk offices and file cabinets full of old property records.

Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto (no, not the conquistador explorer he shares a name with!) found that the reason why capitalism — and all the prosperity it brings — flourishes in the U.S. is because of its freedom. And that freedom has a very specific invisible architecture. De Soto’s groundbreaking 2000 book, “The Mystery Of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs In The West And Fails Everywhere Else,” is a masterly study of the difference between the prosperous U.S. and the un-prosperous third world, both of which claim to be capitalist.

Talking Head Twit of the Year Contest
By Ann Coulter
Human Events Online, February 24, 2016
. . .
After Trump’s huge victory in New Hampshire and then in South Carolina, did it occur to TV bookers to call any of the people who got it right?

Alex Marlow, editor in chief of Breitbart News, explained everything that was about to happen in this race back on the Sept. 14 edition of CNN’s Erin Burnett show.

While all the other “strategists” gibbered about Trump losing the Hispanic vote, Marlow said: “Trump is growing the big tent. ... Trump’s policies are appealing to blacks. There are even some polls out there, like a survey USA poll, saying Trump is actually doing fine with Latinos.”

In the Nevada primary on Tuesday, Trump not only won the Hispanic vote; he not only won 17 points more of the Hispanic vote than his next closest rival; but his Latino vote nearly matched that of the two Latino candidates combined.

In one of the few times you might have heard this point expressed on television airwaves, Marlow said that the No. 1 issue for Breitbart News’ 20 million readers, “has consistently been — since last year — immigration.They are looking for someone who is going to seal the border and prioritize border security as No. 1.”

Obviously, Marlow was right about everything. According to Nexis, that was the last time he appeared on TV.

Mr. Trump: More Specifics About Mexico Paying for the Wall
By Silvio Canto, Jr.
American Thinker, February 24, 2016
. . .
Mr. Trump wants to build a fence on the border. Frankly, I'm OK with that, although it's hard to see how beneficial a border fence would be in the open and desolate areas of Arizona and Mexico. I would rather see a military presence in the open areas, because it is cartels, who use these routes. Also, let's remember that many illegal immigrants are simply flying in and overstaying their tourist visas.

Mr. Trump also wants Mexico to pay for the fence. It is one of his most popular lines. Unfortunately, he has not explained how exactly Mexico will do that.

A Trump supporter told me recently that he plans to tax "remittances," currently about $25 billion. How do you determine whether Jose sending money to his mother is illegal or not? My point is that there are a lot of Mexicans here legally who send money to their families. Is Western Union going to be requiring documents before wiring money? Is 7-11 going to require documents when someone buys a $100 pre-paid Visa? My point is that this is very difficult to do.

Mr. Trump is talking about "Mexico ripping off the U.S.," another popular line. Where is that happening? According to the latest info available, U.S.-Mexico trade is rather substantial:

Why is Everything Amnesty?
By Silvio Canto, Jr.
American Thinker, February 26, 2016
. . .
Who is pardoning any group or letting people stay here without consequences?

The GOP should be for an immigration solution that enforces the law against employers and protects the border. At the same time, what is wrong with offering some of those here a chance to stay here? It would go like this:

1) The illegal immigrant would be given a chance to apply for a work visa supported by an employer's letter that a job actually exists;

2) He or she would undergo a full criminal background check including fingerprints. We will also check with the home country to verify that the applicant is not married here and back home;

3) The applicant will pay a fine for violating the law and or not filing tax returns;

4) He or she will be under a period of probation where the person could be deported in case of any violation of law;

5) No path to citizenship or green card will be available to this person; and,

6) Employers will be harshly punished, including jail time, for hiring someone without papers.

How is that amnesty? Who is getting off free for violating the law?

Immigration or an iPhone
We don’t have an encryption problem; we have a Muslim immigration problem.
By Daniel Greenfield
FrontPageMag.com, February 25, 2016
. . .
Terrorists adapt to the terrain. They use the native population as protective coloration. They can find a way to transform a shoe, a tube of toothpaste or instant messaging on a game console into a terror tool. Just as the left can 'politicize' everything, Muslim terrorists can 'terrorize' everything. When everything is a potential terrorist tool, then there can be no such thing as privacy or civil rights.

Muslim immigration is forcing us to constantly choose between our lives and our civil liberties. It's a Catch 22 decision with no good choices. Terrorists push governments toward totalitarianism so that their own alternative totalitarian state starts to seem like a less terrible alternative. But the refusal to fight terrorism also makes the totalitarian state of the terrorists more viable.

Hypocrisy Watch: Trump Hired Hundreds of Foreign Workers For Jobs Americans Wanted
By John Merline
Investors Business Daily, February 25, 2016
. . .
A Reuters report from last summer found Trump’s various companies had “sought to import at least 1,100 foreign workers on temporary visas since 2000.” One of the companies applied for temporary work visas for 250 fashion models.

Trump told the Times that the only reason those Americans didn’t get jobs at the Palm Beach resort was because “they weren’t qualified, for some reason. There are very few qualified people during the high season in the area.”

He went on to say that “Certain areas, in really successful areas, where we can’t get help, many people do that,” meaning they import workers. “That’s a good thing. Otherwise, you hurt your business.”

From a free-market perspective, Trump is absolutely right to say this. Businesses should be free to hire whomever they want to get a job done, at prices they can afford, even if those workers have to be imported

But that’s not what Trump has been telling his audiences on the campaign trail over the past eight months.

Instead, he routinely blasts businesses that import foreign workers for jobs that Americans can do, saying they are guilty of “job theft,” and he promises to punish companies that engage in such behavior.

Will Trump's Wall Protect or Imprison?
By Alan Keyes
WorldNetDaily.com, February 25, 2016
. . .
Indeed, Donald Trump’s promised border wall effectively illustrates the prudence of Washington’s admonition. Mr. Trump says the wall will be used to keep illegals out. But a wall once divided Berlin, Germany. It symbolized an imprisoned people. It would be ironic if our failure to stop the elitist interests Trump really represents results in an elitist tyranny that turns the border wall we intend for our security into an instrument of control intended to bar our posterity from escaping it.

Don’t get me wrong. I favor, and worked with others to support, the construction of appropriate obstacles along our borders, including walls, fences and electronic surveillance, as appropriate. I did so while Mr. Trump was decrying people like us as “mean-spirited” and maybe even funding or applauding people who ridiculed and hated us. But where liberty is concerned, our real security is not just in walls and fences. It is in the loyal hearts and decent will of the guardians who police them. If Donald Trump is the man his actual record suggests, we have every reason to beware of any wall he erects – for when it serves the interest of his factional allegiance, his true persona will prevail in the use of it, even though it be against our rights and liberty.

Trump’s Brilliant 30 Second Indictment of an Open Borders Policy
By Kevin Collins
CoachIsRight.com, February 22, 2016
. . .
Trump has been in contact with Jamiel Shaw-the victim’s father-and is helping him tell the story of his son’s death.

The story is so powerful that Trump should use this spot over and over throughout the whole campaign. It is NOT just an appeal to Blacks; it is an appeal to all Americans with a clear message: illegal aliens must be stopped and kicked out.

Trump arranged to have Shaw address the crowd at a recent rally in Los Angeles. This is what he said: “To see somebody, especially a billionaire, come out. I can’t even get a neighborhood politician to come out, that’s why it’s so surreal to me...”

Shaw continued: “People are looking at immigration as just an immigration issue, but people are dying. It’s a fact. What good is the economy, healthcare, going to school, if people are dying? Trump is doing things he doesn’t have to do. He can buy a whole island and get away from crime…. This was the first time I thought everything’s really gonna be all right. To me, he was sent from God.”

Solving The H-1B Visa Problem
By Tom Giovanetti
TechCrunch.com, February 20, 2016
. . .
How shall we break this impasse and make progress on what should be one of the easiest incremental reforms in the immigration reform debate? A bipartisan commission likely to end in gridlock? Raw political “we won, you lost” power? Further inaction, which just exacerbates the problem?

Here’s a better idea — a market mechanism that would determine once and for all not only who is right, but what the market-clearing price for skilled immigrant labor actually is, thus informing future immigration policy formation.

Right now, H-1B visas are issued on a first come, first served basis, for a flat fee, and the number is arbitrarily capped. Such a system tells us nothing about how much an H-1B visa (and thus a skilled immigrant worker) is actually worth to an employer. And because the number is capped and the fee low, the system actually encourages a lottery or jackpot approach — in other words, employers would apply for as many visas as possible, hoping to get enough. This is an irrational system.

It would make much more sense to allocate H-1B visas via an auction process. If H-1B visas were auctioned to employers each year in a sealed-bid process, with the bids allocated from highest to lowest until the available permits were exhausted, supply and demand would establish the market-clearing price for the right to hire a skilled immigrant worker.

The Trump Surge: It's All About Security
By Marguerite Creel
American Thinker, February 28, 2016
. . .
By summer 2015, there was no candidate, except Trump, who had even begun to galvanize the base. But even at this late date, GOP leadership and financiers seem reluctant to put their personal economic interests on hold. Moreover, Trump identifies with Americans who recognize the realpolitik black hole that threatens their homeland. Traditional Americans want to vote for a high-energy candidate whose campaign reaffirms the Republican Party as the protector of security and the American way of life.

The political insiders' failure to consolidate behind a solid closed-border candidate led to a vacuum on the pre-eminent issue of illegal immigration. It was in this void that Trump's candidacy evolved. His genius media campaign proved to dovetail nicely with commonsense conservative positions such as middle-class tax relief, veterans' health care and fair trade policies with China.

Will DOJ Push For Illegal Alien Voting in 2016 Fall Flat in Court?
By Robert Romano
Conservative Review, February 28, 2016
. . .
But if the injunction is granted by Judge Leon and the new federal voter registration form is removed, then Alabama, Georgia and Kansas would have to begin processing federal applications to the state voter rolls once again even if there is no proof of citizenship.

This therefore is an attempt by the Justice Department to settle this case and invalidate the application of the states’ laws without even a fair hearing of including the state requirements on the federal form.

Fortunately, Judge Leon may be seeing through this façade. Time will tell. But clearly the stakes in the case could not be higher.

Fighting Illegal Alien Voting
By John Velisek
CoachIsRight.com, February 25, 2016
. . .
Advocacy groups made up of academics, law professors, local and federal politicians of the progressive Democrat party and groups that advocate through the socialist La Raza and Soros’ Open Society have filed a lawsuit against the states of Arizona, Georgia and Kansas. These and a number of other states supported a decision by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission allowing only legal citizens to register to vote. The states are requiring a satisfactory form of proof of citizenship to assure only citizens will be voting.

Incredible, though understandable, is the fact that the Obama Justice Department has joined with the advocacy groups rather than defending one of its own agencies. The Justice Department has gone so far as to take away all authority from the EAC, the only federal agency working to protect the states from voting by illegal aliens.

Good Fences
By Clarice Feldman
American Thinker, February 21, 2016
. . .
Robert Frost wrote in “Mending Walls” that “good fences make good neighbors”, and this week it appears that people in this country and the UK are chock full of citizens who agree. As I explain, the immigration crises both here and in Europe have underscored growing anger at the arrogance and incompetence of unelected bureaucrats and their rules.

The big election kerfuffle of the week was the Pope’s ill-considered attack on those who want to limit illegal immigration from Mexico by building a wall at the border. To many it seemed an attack on Donald Trump whose campaign against illegal immigration struck a receptive chord with voters. Many noted the hypocrisy of such a statement coming from the head of the Vatican state which is itself surrounded by a wall erected in the ninth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries to protect against pirates and invaders.

Conservatism Inc. “Experts” Wrong Again: Exit Polls Show Trump’s Success IS About Immigration
By Washington Watcher
VDare.com, February 26, 2016
. . .
But the fact that the vast majority of voters back the Muslim moratorium, which virtually no public figure other than Trump will support, shows how salient the issue is. Moreover, immigration is a much more specific issue than “the economy” or “national security,” and so it’s not surprising “immigration” is not the top issue. Given that most GOP candidates have the same positions on national security and the budget, immigration can still be the deciding factor for many voters who did not list it as their favorite.

What about Amnesty, i.e. a path to legalization? On its face, the results are a bit disappointing. However, it’s worth noting that the question is phrased in a misleading fashion.

It gives a binary choice between legal status (though not citizenship, which the Gang of 8 proposes) and deportation, without giving increased enforcement as an option. As the Center for Immigration Studies has shown, if you give the option for increased enforcement (rather than massive deportations] vs. Amnesty, Americans will overwhelmingly choose enforcement [Rigged Polls That Bolster the Case for Amnesty, by David Seminara, November 26, 2013].

Obama Changes Law: Allows Immigrants with Blistering STDs and Leprosy into US

It’s not clear how this new rule benefits Americans.

Obama Embraces Illegals with STDs
By Jeannie DeAngelis
American Thinker Blog, February 27, 2016
. . .
n 2009, the president pulled HIV from the list of diseases that bar immigrants from coming to the U.S. Now, according to a report issued by the non-partisan Center for Immigration Studies, Obama’s Health and Human Services has publicly stated that the cost of handling and treating immigrants with STDs does not impact taxpayers in a significant way.

Moreover, even though, by nature, venereal disease is contagious, the Obama administration has also decreed that specific communicable diseases are no longer “of public health significance.” Unfortunately, that opinion only applies to those who are thankfully not among the victims sexually abused by one of the 2,000 illegals in Texas, who, with or without a sore on their private parts, were deported because of sex crimes.

That “not…in a significant way” guarantee comes from the same government that had a virtual non-response when undocumented workers illegally employed in places like Chipotle passed along pathogens, which sorry to say, were likely transported into customer’s intestines via Crispy Corn Tacos contaminated with human feces.

So, if having an oozing genital sore does not prohibit a person entry into the U.S., how is the Obama administration going to ensure that immigrants, who tend to gravitate toward food service, diligently follow proper hygiene protocol after manhandling their genitalia?

NORTH CAROLINA DEPUTY ASSAULTED BY FOUR MEXICAN THUGS: LA RAZA GANGBANGERS Gabriel Moreno, Miguel Angel Moreno, Remi Nambo, and Delfino Alejo - THESE ARE FOUR MORE REASONS TO END MEXICO'S INVASIOIN, OCCUPATION and LOOTING


N.C. Deputy Ambushed by Four Gangbangers: Are the Assailants Aliens or Citizens?

By Dan Cadman

CIS Immigration Blog, February 22, 2016

Police Magazine is carrying the story of an off-duty, plainclothes deputy sheriff from Wake County, N.C., who was at a child's birthday party when he was ambushed by four known gang members: "Gabriel Moreno, 39, of Knightdale; Miguel Angel Moreno, 25, of Wendell; Remi Nambo, 27, of Raleigh; and Delfino Alejo, 27, of Garner". After the deputy, also Hispanic, arrived with the children at the party location a lone male asked if he could speak to him alone; when they stepped outside, three other men joined the first individual, calling the deputy a "pig" and assaulting him with fists, feet, and weapons. They have now been charged with a variety of felonies.

According to news accounts, investigators are trying to figure out how they knew the deputy was in law enforcement. A good question. Here's three more that I haven't been able to find answers to in media accounts, at least as of the time I'm writing this (see for instance here and here).

THE MARCO RUBIO OPEN DOORS IMMIGRATION POLICY: OBAMA'S ANNESTY AND TENS OF MILLIONS MORE JUMPING OUR BORDERS, JOBS AND WEFLARE OFFICES

"Marco Rubio is probably in the worst position. His bill would have doubled legal immigration for the first decade after passage (granting more than 30 million green cards in ten years, when you add in the amnesty). The Schumer-Rubio bill also would have nearly doubled the admission of “temporary” workers, which the Congressional Research Service identified as a driver of new illegal immigration in the future."

Sen. Jeff Sessions has been instrumental in giving voice to public concern over excessive importation of foreign workers and its effects on jobs, government budgets, schools, assimilation, security, and so on.

Whatever You Do, Don’t Mention Cutting Immigration

By Mark Krikorian


The Corner at National Review Online, February 25, 2016


http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/431922/cutting-immigration-trump-vulnerable?target=author&tid=982

I get why respectable Republicans aren’t inclined to take her advice, but Ann Coulter nailed it, in August: “If they want to undermine Trump, take his issue.” Meaning immigration.

But how? They can’t “take his issue” with yet more promises to secure the border. Those promises are hard to take seriously after the Schumer-Rubio push for amnesty and increased immigration in 2013-2014, the McCain-Kennedy version in 2005-2007, and Dubya’s initial foray that was buried by 9/11.

Try as they might, Trump’s professional-politician rivals won’t get any traction by either echoing or attacking his call for a wall and increased deportations.

But the public debate on immigration has moved beyond the simplistic “legal good, illegal bad” clichés, to focus on the actual level of immigration, most of it legal. Sen. Jeff Sessions has been instrumental in giving voice to public concern over excessive importation of foreign workers and its effects on jobs, government budgets, schools, assimilation, security, and so on.

This is where Trump was, and still is, vulnerable. As the New York Times story mentioned by Charles documents, Trump has made extensive use of guestworker visas to import foreigners to do “jobs Americans won’t do,” actually turning away almost all American job applicants.

Nor was this unknown. Reuters wrote about it in August. The Miami CBS affiliate reported on it in September.

So, to borrow from Ross Douthat, what are Trump’s rivals waiting for? Why haven’t they pursued this obvious line of attack, one that strikes directly at Trump’s key strength, one that casts doubt on his desire to “Put American Workers First“?

Because they all want more immigration. It’s hard to point out the disconnect between the call for “immigration moderation” in Trump’s immigration platform (something he never actually says out loud) and his own business decisions when you yourself are in favor of immigration immoderation.


Marco Rubio is probably in the worst position. His bill would have doubled legal immigration for the first decade after passage (granting more than 30 million green cards in ten years, when you add in the amnesty). The Schumer-Rubio bill also would have nearly doubled the admission of “temporary” workers, which the Congressional Research Service identified as a driver of new illegal immigration in the future.

Nor has Rubio ever renounced this aspect of his bill. When asked at the debate last month in South Carolina, “Why are you so interested in opening up borders to foreigners when American workers have a hard enough time finding work?”, he let forth a panicky cascade of non sequiturs so non-sequitur-y that I’m surprised Maria Bartiromo didn’t just laugh in his face.

And, as John Fonte pointed out on the home page yesterday, Rubio’s “first post-Gang of Eight legislative proposal is not related to enforcement but, instead, advocates more ‘guest workers’ and expanding permanent immigration” – the infamous I-Squared bill, that could quadruple H-1b visas and increase immigration in various other ways.

Cruz (whom I’ll be voting for Tuesday) isn’t in a much better position to attack Trump on immigration. True, his immigration plan includes “Halt any increases in legal immigration so long as American unemployment remains unacceptably high” and he’s co-sponsored a bill with Sessions to dramatically limit the H-1b program. But in the past he sponsored a measure to quintuple H-1b visas, and even now doesn’t call for actual cuts in immigration.

Conviction is surely part of the reason. While there is little support for increased immigration among the public at large (North Korea is more popular with Americans that increased immigration), there is widespread support for it among elites. I think that’s probably the main explanation for Jeb and Cruz.

But – and perhaps I’m being uncharitable here – I think money is a big part of the explanation for Rubio’s mulish insistence on ever-increasing immigration (as it was for Walker’s unwillingness to do more than hint at immigration cuts). When a bill to increase immigration was being considered in 2000, Tom Davis, then a member of the House Republican leadership, identified the issue: “This is not a popular bill with the public. It’s popular with the CEOs.” He elaborated elsewhere on the importance of immigration to donors: “This is a very important issue for the high-tech executives who give the money.”

But whether from conviction or calculation, the end result is the same – one of the potentially most productive lines of attack against Trump has been ignored by his opponents. Both as a matter of policy and of politics, “numbers clearly are of the essence.”

EXPANDING THE LA RAZA MEXICAN FASCIST STATE IN AMERICA - WHAT ARE MEXICO'S BIGGEST EXPORTS? DRUGS AND HEROIN? CRIMINALS? or ANCHOR BABY BREEDERS FOR 18 YEARS OF WELFARE?

Ex-Mexican president: Trump reminds me of Hitler

The war of words between Donald Trump and ex-Mexican President Vicente Fox went nuclear yesterday when Fox suggested that Trump reminds him of Hitler.

Previously, Fox had responded to a question about Trump's proposed wall that he says Mexico will pay for by dismissing the idea. "I'm not going to pay for that f***ing wall," Fox said.

Trump shot back: “FMR PRES of Mexico, Vicente Fox horribly used the F word when discussing the wall. He must apologize! If I did that there would be a uproar!"

For the record, Trump dropped 5 F-bombs in a little more than a minute at a rally last month in New Hampshire.

BLOG: WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF NARCOMEX DID SOMETHING FOR THEIR POOR OTHER THAN EXPORT THEM TO LOOT AMERICA?

THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES ALONE HANDS MEXICAN ANCHOR BREEDERS A BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR. THAT'S MORE THAN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF MEXICO SPENDS ON THE WELFARE FOR THEIR PEOPLE.
  
"He has offended Mexico, Mexicans, (and) immigrants. He has offended the Pope. He has offended the Chinese. He's offended everybody."

Fox's comments come one day after he delivered a scathing response on Trump's plan to make Mexico pay for a wall between the Mexico-U.S. border.

"I'm not going to pay for that f***ing wall," Fox said in an interview with Fusion's Jorge Ramos.
Fox told Cooper he won't apologize for that remark.

Fox isn't the first to suggest Trump's rhetoric is similar to that of the German dictator.

Last month, Anne Frank's stepsister accused Trump of "acting like another Hitler." And in December, former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman invoked Hitler when discussing Trump's plan to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S.

"If you go and look at your history and you read your history in the lead-up to the Second World War, this is the kind of rhetoric that allowed Hitler to move forward," Whitman told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day."
Invoking the specter of Hitler used to go against a major unwritten rule in politics. However, Democrats have been doing it for years when referring to conservatives, so the epithet has lost much of its bite.

America is not Weimer Germany, so some obvious parallels between Trump and Hitler only go so far. Still, it's worrisome that Trump demonstrates a towering ignorance of the Constitution and due process - reason enough to keep a watchful eye on him on the off-chance he actually gets elected.

The Trump Surge: It's All about Security

Prediction:  Tough-talking Donald Trump will crush the intelligence-leaking, left-wing ideologue Hillary Clinton, for Americans are disgusted with the bureaucracy's frontal assault on the economy and the nation's territorial borders. 

Track Record

Trump has a track record of relentless business triumphs for two generations, values a merit-based society, and has proven fearless in his defense of America.  He refuses to accede to the Republican old-guard approach, creating an entirely new playbook for those willing to stray boldly from the last fifty years of establishment-sanctioned protocols.

Clearly, a plurality of conservative, independent, and moderate Republican voters are not excited about the prospect of nominating another first-term senator with little track record of success outside the political arena. 

Consequently, can Americans trust Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio – two individuals who were willing to sell out the American economy to foreign and special-interest lobbies by way of their support for TPP

Can Americans trust a man who sold out American culture to these same lobbies by way of his captaincy of the Gang of Eight?   

Will even those in the Democratic Party be able to side with Bernie Sanders, a self-professed socialist, to advance American progress?  Is someone who casually sold out American safety by negligently and/or criminally providing intelligence to foreign adverse agents, as Hillary Clinton did, a viable competitor against a man who emphasizes his building of a border wall so that some semblance of American sovereignty can be retained?

Americans sagely no longer trust political insider candidates, who have routinely sold out American culture, progress, and safety, and the economy, to special-interest lobbies after raising the debt ceiling in an unlimited fashion and capitulating to the invasion of millions of foreign nationals.   

Liberal Support

On the home front, the legitimate, legal population can now be fairly characterized as chronically underemployedUrban protests are on the rise, while criminal foreigners commit felonies and accept American taxpayer bounty like medical care and free schooling at astonishing rates.  It is difficult to envision a casual nighttime stroll through any urban downtown in America where a natural-born citizen could feel remotely protected or safe.

Many moderate to liberal-leaning women and young professionals, who may typically vote Democrat, will understandably give up their previously sacrosanct social and economic positions for the sake of a more secure America.  Few Americans fail to recognize the escalating and rampant crime the Obama administration continues to exacerbate and ignore by way of its open border policies. 

Pew polls consistently show that women prefer Democratic lynchpin  social net policies, as they vote time and again for the government to parent the ever-increasing needy population.  Ironically, in 2016, personal safety may very well, perhaps for the first time in decades, loom large as the ultimate nanny-state issue for the liberal-female wing. 
Many Americans, across all walks of life, truly scared about their future prospects, are fueling the bump in Trump's polling numbers.  His blunt speech is a surrogate for action to protect Americans.  By willingly writing off hugely profitable business relationships  with companies as diverse as ESPN, NASCAR, Macy's, and NBC, while simultaneously eschewing large-dollar donations, Trump has been able to underscore his message of making America great again and putting the interest of Americans first. 

Nuclear Arms Buildup

Internationally, totalitarian Islam is on the march in the Middle East and the Mediterranean, and it extends even to African nations.  The European Union is on the brink of economic collapse.  While frightening nuclear arms resolves are pursued by the most extreme rogue nations on Earth, via North Korea and Iran, Obama actually has increased these same nations' international clout by playing up to simplistic American appeasers.

Russia continues to aggressively extend its ever-growing territorial aims, absent any express or implied recourse from America.  China, meanwhile, is  successfully securing new satellites of influence in Central America and the Pacific Rim.  The American Emperor, along with the entirety of the American liberal elite, merely fiddles as international boundaries collapse.

Obama's administration is equally ignorant concerning both Chinese and Russian elite, who increasingly make tactical advances by way of highly trained cadres of military specialists.

America is now truly in a bind.  Turbulent times, witnessed by saber-rattling in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, require America's republic to follow Russia's and China's lead by selecting high-capacity and politically engaged leaders to prepare for global conflict. 

Trump, for his part, lacks the necessary military experience in the geopolitical arena to be blindly trusted to execute correct strategies to protect American interests.  However, when one compares the equally inexperienced junior senators vying for the GOP nomination, Trump appears to be the most rational choice.  The language of international development is not foreign to Trump, and, to be fair, in command-and-control economies, big business and government are synonymous. 

Could America do worse by electing a leader who would ignore necessary global strategic planning?  Among the frontrunners, only Trump has a successful background concerning the hiring of excellent and experienced professionals relative to specific areas of expertise. 

Traditional Leadership

In hindsight, there was clearly room in the GOP primary for a fresh candidate, who could project strength while dominating issues of military prowess and border enforcement. 

By summer 2015, there was no candidate, except Trump, who had even begun to galvanize the base.  But even at this late date, GOP leadership and financiers seem reluctant to put their personal economic interests on hold.  Moreover, Trump identifies with Americans who recognize the realpolitik black hole that threatens their homeland.  Traditional Americans want to vote for a high-energy candidate whose campaign reaffirms the Republican Party as the protector of security and the American way of life.

The political insiders' failure to consolidate behind a solid closed-border candidate led to a vacuum on the pre-eminent issue of illegal immigration.  It was in this void that Trump's candidacy evolved.  His genius media campaign proved to dovetail nicely with commonsense conservative positions such as middle-class tax relief, veterans' health care and fair trade policies with China.   

Considering the probability that Trump will win the GOP nomination, it is high time the highly paid GOP elite transfer their allegiance in helping Trump to tap the crème de la crème of the American legal, diplomatic, military, and espionage corps.  Only in this way can the GOP establishment show conservatives they really intend to get serious about not just winning elections, but actually giving young Americans the firm sense of a future America worth living in, with a common culture and Judeo-Christian ethical foundation.

November 2016 Victory

Across both political and economic spectra, there is an instinctive realization that the United States can no longer afford to elect a commander-in-chief who lacks the resolve to defend America's national sovereignty.

When confronted with an existential threat, Americans will reject a hear-no-evil-see-no-evil approach to mounting internal strife and Islamic terrorism.

Democratic strategists would like nothing more than to repeat the economic election strategy of years past, where they contrast their concern for the less fortunate with the cold-hearted policies of the Republicans.  However, the Democratic nominee will not be able to profitably sow socialist lies when faced with the optics of a resolute, successful man who vows to make America great.

Poll: Border control still top immigration priority for most voters

A new poll by Rasmussen Reports shows that most Americans prefer stricter border control versus granting legal status to illegal immigrants.

Among those surveyed, 59% of respondents believe that "gaining control of the border" should be the key priority for any immigration reform.

A majority (52%) also think that a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants merely acts as a draw to encourage more illegal immigration.  Only 31% disagree with this view.

Support for Donald Trump's proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border is at 51% among all voters and at 70% of Republicans.

More than 60% want the federal government to be more aggressive in deporting illegal immigrants, a level of support that has held constant for several years.

An additional 72% feel that the federal government should be far more proactive when it comes to finding those visitors who have overstayed their visa requirements and deporting them.

Similarly, a majority (63%) of voters oppose proposals for providing free lawyers to female and child illegal immigrants to help fight deportation orders against them, while just 25% support such plans.

BLOG: NO PRESIDENT IN HISTORY HAS HAD MORE CONTEMPT FOR OUR LAWS, LEGALS, OR BORDERS THAN THE "HOPE & CHANGE" HUCKSTER, BARACK OBAMA!


It appears that the recent execution-style murder of a Massachusetts man was committed by two Central American teens that came to the U.S. as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) under President Obama’s open border free-for-all. Tens of thousands of illegal immigrant minors—mostly from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras—have entered the country through the Mexican border since the influx began in the summer of 2014 and the administration has relocated them nationwide.
