A newsletter I subscribe to sent out an alert last week entitled “Evangelical Leaders Unite on Just Assimilation Immigration Policy.” With heightened interest I began reading about how the law in Arizona is a response to the federal government’s failure, that we need a rational immigration policy, that we are a nation of laws, and … Continued

Yesterday, the respected Pew Research Center released a new poll showing Americans are backing Arizona’s recently passed immigration enforcement bill, SB 1070, by huge margins. According to the poll, 73% of Americans agree with “requiring people to produce documents verifying their legal status if police ask for them.” When the Pew Poll respondents were asked … Continued

It isn’t every day a person gets to sit down and chew the fat with one of their U.S. Senators. So I jumped at the chance to participate in an hour long Q & A session with Michael Bennet, the junior Senator from Colorado, who fielded questions from two dozen environmental activists here in northern … Continued

Most mainstream media are reporting with a straight face that Sen. Reid’s new amnesty outline is primarily an enforcement bill that wouldn’t allow legalization of illegal aliens until our borders are secure.
