How is your local media covering the work-permits-to-illegal-aliens story?

By Jeremy Beck

The Obama administration quietly dropped a bombshell late last week when it announced that it would be granting work permits to as many as 300,000 illegal workers currently in deportation proceedings. The mainstream media has marginalized this very important story, especially overlooking the adverse impact the work permits will have on 22 million Americans who … Continued

GOP Hopefuls Offer Nothing New to their Immigration Positions; But Debate Moderators Connect Unemployment to Immigration

By Chris Chmielenski

Eight GOP Presidential Hopefuls participated in Thursday night’s debate in Ames, Iowa, but only five were asked about immigration. And none of the candidates brought up the issue on their own.

U.S. House Beefs Up Local Immigration Enforcement & Goes After Drug Cartel ‘Spotter Nests’ We’ve Long Warned About

By Roy Beck

Large and broad bi-partisan majorities of the U.S. House last night and today agreed to put significantly more money and oomph into key programs to reduce the illegal population of this country.

Obama’s Political Gesture Is Good Sign — But Not Close To What Is Necessary To Secure Borders

By Roy Beck

Pres. Obama definitely blinked today in the face-off between pro-enforcement and pro-amnesty Americans. His announcement of sending 1,200 National Guard troops to the border and asking for an extra half-billion dollars for border security shows that he and his advisors are acknowledging that most Americans sided with Arizona Gov. Brewer and against the Obama Administration … Continued

What I Told CBS News Tonight About Arizona Law — It’s About Jobs

By Roy Beck

I just came back from taping an interview for the national CBS nightly news regarding the new Arizona immigration-enforcement law.

New Bill Would Battle The Lawlessness On Public Lands That Preceded Murder Of Rancher Robert Krentz

By Roy Beck

Now, this is what responsive elected officials look like! Last week, Congress and the White House received nearly 200,000 faxes from citizens (through NumbersUSA’s website) demanding that the federal government stop the lawlessness and near-anarchy on our southern border that daily threaten U.S. citizens with the denial of their most basic civil right — LIFE. … Continued

Are We A Real Country If We Allow Illegal Aliens To Move This Freely Across The Border So That Murder Is A Constant Threat?

By Roy Beck

If Members of Congress were ranchers living along the Mexican border, how long do you think they would stay quiet about the fact that Presidents Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama haven’t felt it important to stop the illegal mass migration of foreign citizens across their lands? How about you? Or me? Do you think we … Continued

Pro-Illegal-Immigration ‘La Raza’ Blasts Obama Health Plan for Not Including Illegal Aliens

By Roy Beck

The open-borders lobby is wailing about Pres. Obama’s health care compromise, and that seems like it should be good news on the immigration front. They say the President is leaving all illegal aliens out of the plan. And they are calling on their activists to phone the White House to demand that illegal aliens be … Continued
