ANOTHER UTAH GOP PRIMARY BATTLE — Sen. Bennett Worse Than Deposed Rep. Cannon on Immigration

By Roy Beck

Thus far, all the journalists in Washington and Utah are getting their storyline wrong on Sen. Robert Bennett (R-Utah) who is facing a Primary election challenge next year from Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff.

By Roy Beck

Jerry Petty, Alan Ruddell, John Hanson.  You don’t know them, but you owe them.

By Roy Beck

A key Democratic Senator in the health care overhaul says illegal aliens can’t be covered under whatever emerges.

By Roy Beck

Immigrant unemployment is now soaring. During 18 months of recession as millions of Americans lost jobs, Congress has resolutely refused to reduce immigration and the importation of foreign workers.

Janet Napolitano has raised hopes for better immigration enforcement many times in her career and then disappointed those cheering her on, but I want to believe my eyes/ears that she signaled a major commitment to E-Verify this week.

Let’s Kill the Lottery Before It Gives Away Another 50,000 U.S. Jobs to Foreign Workers

By Roy Beck

Congress and the Administration still plan to go through with a program that every fall, in effect, takes 50,000 U.S. jobs  and raffles them off to foreign workers on pure chance. Never mind that 14 million unemployed Americans are looking for a job. If that doesn’t make any sense to you, get passionate about Rep. … Continued

By Roy Beck

When I walked into Sen. Jeff Sessions’ office several years ago for my first one-on-one visit with him, I knew we could count on him to be a full champion for the rule of law in matters of immigration. But I wanted to persuade him that it was just as important to change immigration policy … Continued
